Cricket and T-Mobile are serving up some summer deals, with the former launching a new multi-line unlimited plan and the latter offering a deep discount on the iPhone 7 with an eligible trade in.
In a Friday press release, Cricket introduced its new unlimited plan, which offers two lines of unlimited high-speed data for $80 per month. As with any unlimited plan, that comes with a bit of fine print, in this case limiting data speeds to 3 Mbps and video streaming to 1.5 Mbps. The carrier also noted it could slow user speeds after 22 GB of data usage in one month.
The carrier coupled the unlimited reveal with discounts on new smartphones like the Alcatel PulseMix, and LG X charge, and offers for free smartphones like the ZTE Sonata 3, LG Fortune, and others for porting customers.
Cricket began offering a $70 per month single-line unlimited plan for its customers in April 2016. Earlier this month, AT&T also brought unlimited to its revamped GoPhone offering, now called AT&T Prepaid. That plan goes for $60 per month with AutoPay.
But Cricket isn’t the only one offering device discounts.
T-Mobile is offering customers who trade in their old iPhone a $300 savings when they upgrade to the iPhone 7 on a device installment plan. The offer applies to trade-ins including the iPhone 6, 6 Plus, 6s, and 6s Plus. Additionally, T-Mobile is offering the 256 GB iPhone 7 for the price of the 128 GB model for additional savings.
