T-Mobile announced on Thursday that it will launch new no contract plans beginning on May 20th. There are four new plans in total, including a 300MB 1-week pass for $15, a 1.5GB 1-month pass for $25, a 3.5GB 1-month pass for $35 and a 5GB 1-month pass for $50. The plans aren't for smartphone users, rather they are for those who are interested in purchasing any of T-Mobile's mobile hotspots, tablets or laptop sticks without being tied down in a contract. T-Mobile customers will pay the initial fee up front and there aren't any overage charges. The carrier also offers an auto-refill option for those who consume their initial data allotment sooner than planned.
