T-Mobile offers up new plan to help connect with family and friends overseas

T-Mobile has announced they will make it easier and cheaper for their Simple Plan customers to connect with friends and family overseas. The press release can be seen below.

T-Mobile’s in the giving mood a bit early this holiday season.

On the heels of announcing a pre-Black Friday free tablet offer yesterday, the Un-carrier announced yet another holiday offer today, making it easier than ever to connect with family and friends overseas. Starting now, everyone on your Simple Choice plan can enjoy unlimited calling from the U.S. to landlines in more than 70 countries worldwide for just $5 a month for the entire account.  That’s right.  Per account – not per line.  So, $5 a month covers your entire family up to 10 lines.

Or, starting today, for just $10 per month, the whole family can get unlimited calling to mobile phones in more than 30 countries and 1,000 minutes to mobile phones in Mexico, on top of unlimited calls to landlines in 70+ countries. That’s a real savings over the current rates ($10 and $15 per month per line for the landline and landline plus mobile calling respectively), especially for families.  In fact, a family of four can save $420 a year compared to paying per individual.
