T-Mobile is kicking off the holidays with Un-carrier Unwrapped, a full month of holiday gift-giving, with one special gift coming each week.
First up, the Un-carrier is giving the gift of unlimited high-speed data for your smartphone – for the next three months – to every single one of its postpaid Simple Choice customers. T-Mobile is also delivering special holiday gifts to Sprint, AT&T and Verizon customers starting next week – one carrier per week.
“We’ve had a fantastic year, and we’re going to spread that T-Mobile cheer by starting with the most important people first… our existing customers! Now you get Unlimited LTE data on our blazing fast network for three full months as a gift from the Un-carrier to you,” said John Legere, president and CEO of T-Mobile, in a statement. “But that’s not all: We know that Verizon, AT&T and Sprint customers need some holiday cheer, too – so we’ve got presents coming for them. Just wait!”
The holidays are for connecting with family and friends. In fact, data usage on T-Mobile’s network jumps more than 10% in December. The last thing customers want to worry about is their data, so T-Mobile is taking that worry away. For the next three months, everybody – all active Simple Choice postpaid customers as of end of day November 23, including business customers – has Unlimited 4G LTE smartphone data once you use up all your data and your Data Stash.
Simple Choice postpaid customers don’t have to do a thing to get their Unlimited LTE gift. On December 1, 2015, the special holiday gift will simply appear in their existing T-Mobile plan. Customers will keep that free Unlimited LTE smartphone data as long as they’re on the same T-Mobile plan with Binge On active until March 1, 2016.

MacDailyNews Take: Looks like their giving away a bunch of crappy, non-selling Android tablets from Samsung, too. Anything for Samsung to pad their empty unit share numbers, it seems.
But the iPhones used are covered by the “gift” if they are on “SimpleChoice” plans.
I think the kicker qualifier is the “postpaid”. What does that mean exactly?
post paid means “not a Go Phone.” You can’t use a phone that is not under a re-occuring monthly plan.
A qualifying phone or plans would be FamilyTalk or Share plan.
Ummm.. yes the same for T-moble I would presume.
