Three new 4G LTE rate plans are now available for the wireless carrier's customers, providing them with the affordability, flexibility and predictability they would like from such an option

These plans also offer unlimited nationwide talk, text and Web browsing, and all of the taxes and regulatory fees are included in the price tag.

Those who would like to receive more data should go for the $50 and $60 service plans, which would better fit their usage in case they are looking for streaming audio and video content, real-time Internet gaming, music and video downloads and the like.

The said three new plans include:

- The $40 service plan offers unlimited talk, text, 4G Web browsing with unlimited YouTube access.

“Our 4G LTE network can deliver unlimited voice and mobile broadband data services and, with these new service plans, consumers are in the driver's seat on how much additional data access and real-time entertainment content they want to pay for on a monthly basis.”
