There’s some great news for smartphone addicts who spend the majority of their time glued to their handset – talking, texting, browsing – as T-Mobile has launched its Full Monty tariff.
This new two-year plan comes with “no fair use restrictions”, meaning you get unlimited minutes, texts and internet data each month.
Describing it as the “UK’s first plan” to bring limitless calls, texts and data into the one tariff, T-Mobile’s Full Monty is available from 1st February.
The network is offering four “simple price brackets”, starting from £36 a month which gives you the choice of some pretty decent smartphones for free, including the 8GB iPhone 4S, Galaxy S2 and Sensation XE. The prices then increase monthly up to £61, which gives you a free 32GB iPhone 4S or for an upfront fee of £29 a 64GB model of Apple’s gadget.
There are no caps on calls (except on the cheapest tariff of £36 per month, which comes with 2,000 minutes to other networks ~ which is the equivalent of the average working week!), text messages or internet access on Full Monty.
Full Monty users have access to unlimited Wi-Fi via T-Mobile and BT Openzone hotspots too. Tethering, downloading and streaming are all inclusive on the deal.
Ben Fritsch, Head of Propositions for T-Mobile UK , said: “Over the past two years, we’ve seen a rise in mobile internet use of over 250%, which reflects the consumer trend of being ‘always on’ wherever they are.
“The Full Monty has been designed for customers who want the peace of mind that there are absolutely no limits placed on their allowances, whilst also knowing they’re getting market leading value for money.”

The first of its kind for the UK, The Full Monty plan offers unbeatable value and is available from 1 February through T-Mobile stores, online shop, telesales and in-direct partners.
Customers signing up to The Full Monty 24 month plan will not only have the reassurance that there are no caps on their calls1, texts and internet, they will also have access to unlimited WiFi2, and can use their mobile internet for whatever they like – including tethering (using a smartphone as an internet connection for a laptop or tablet), streaming and downloading.

What’s more, further to the ‘big 3G switch-on’ last year, customers signing up to The Full Monty plan will be joining the 28 million T-Mobile and Orange customers who can already benefit from the widest 3G network in the UK, and faster internet and data speeds in more places for no extra cost, thanks to the sharing of 3G signals from both networks.
Ben Fritsch, Head of Propositions, T-Mobile UK , comments: “Over the past two years, we’ve seen a rise in mobile internet use of over 250%, which reflects the consumer trend of being ‘always on’ wherever they are. However, consumers also still want to retain a more personal level of communication by calling or sending a text.
The Full Monty has been designed for customers who want the peace of mind that there are absolutely no limits placed on their allowances, whilst also knowing they’re getting market leading value for money. We believe our Pay Monthly portfolio offers plans to suit anyone’s needs, all at accessible prices – and we’re really proud to be the first to offer a plan like The Full Monty in the UK”.
