T-Mobile Back Down On Data Usage Limits – Existing Customers Not Affected

T-Mobile has this afternoon issued a statement saying that existing smartphone users will now not be affected by their plans to reduce data usage limits to 500MB from February 1st.

Good news for those T-Mobile customers who were originally sold 1GB and 3GB contracts.

On Monday 10th January 2011 we announced that, in line with the rest of the industry, T-Mobile would be reducing its Fair Use Policy for data usage to 500MB a month for all mobile phone customers,” said Lysa Hardy, VP, T-Mobile UK.

Following a further review of our policy, these changes will now be introduced from 1st February, to new and upgrading customers only – not existing customers. There will be no change to the data packages for existing customers  for the duration of their contract and we apologise for any confusion caused. The revision to the FUP is designed to ensure an improved quality of service for all mobile internet users.
