T-Mobile is the only major U.S. wireless company to offer iPhone<b> <\/b>5 with no annual service contract plus unlimited talk, text and Web on a screaming-fast nationwide 4G network. And because there are no annual contracts, customers make the decision when to upgrade their devices \u2014 not the carrier.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is an important day for people who love their iPhone<b> <\/b>but can\u2019t stand the pain other carriers put them through to own one,\u201d said John Legere, president and CEO of T-Mobile USA. \u201cWe feel their pain. I\u2019ve felt the pain. So we\u2019re rewriting the rules of wireless to provide a radically simple, affordable iPhone<b> <\/b>5 experience \u2014 on an extremely powerful network.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>iPhone<b> <\/b>5 is the thinnest and lightest iPhone<b> <\/b>ever, completely redesigned to feature a stunning 4-inch Retina display, an Apple-designed A6 chip for blazing fast performance and ultrafast wireless technology<sup>1<\/sup>\u2014 all while delivering even better battery life.<sup>2<\/sup> iPhone<b> <\/b>5 comes with iOS 6, the world\u2019s most advanced mobile operating system with over 200 new features, including Shared Photo Streams, Facebook integration, all-new Maps app and Passbook organization, and even more Siri features and languages.<\/p>\n<p>With compatibility on T-Mobile\u2019s 4G network, iPhone<b> <\/b>5 customers will enjoy a consistently outstanding wireless experience, seamlessly connecting to both T-Mobile\u2019s existing nationwide 4G and growing 4G LTE networks. Today, the company launched 4G LTE service in seven major metropolitan areas, including Baltimore; Houston; Kansas City; Las Vegas; Phoenix; San Jose, Calif.; and Washington, D.C. T-Mobile\u2019s 4G LTE network is expected to reach 100 million people by mid-year and 200 million nationwide by the end of 2013. The company\u2019s 4G HSPA+ network reaches 225 million people in 229 metropolitan areas.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to a great 4G network experience, T-Mobile offers iPhone<b> <\/b>5 customers one of the simplest and most competitive consumer rate plans in the industry. Rather than providing a dizzying number of consumer rate plans, T-Mobile is offering iPhone<b> <\/b>5 with just one.<\/p>\n<p>T-Mobile\u2019s new Simple Choice Plan starts with a base rate of $50 per month for unlimited talk, text and Web with 500MB of 4G data.<sup>3<\/sup> Consumers can add 2GB of 4G data for $10 per month per line or get unlimited 4G data for an additional $20 per month per line. Customers can add a second phone line for $30 per month, and each additional line is just $10 per month. There are no caps and no overages.<\/p>\n<p><b>Additional Benefits<\/b><\/p>\n<p>In addition to the Simple Choice Plan\u2019s reasonable terms and powerful nationwide network, iPhone<b> <\/b>5 customers can take advantage of several free premium benefits from T-Mobile, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00b7&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; HD Voice \u2013 delivering nationwide crystal-clear high-definition calling and significantly reduced background noise.
