T-Mobile USA Wrongly Slams Verizon Wireless "Share Everything"

The Verizon Wireless ’s "Share Everything" plans are "costly, complicated and punitive,"  T-Mobile USA argues. Using T-Mobile USA's own comparison, those complaints seem overblown. T-Mobile argues users can save "up to" $40 a month, for a customer who pays full retail for their new device. Under a standard contract plan, the savings might be $20 a month.


The same logic applies for plans with two or three users on a single account. For a three-device (smart phone) account, monthly savings for a user on contract, with subsidized phones, is only about $10 a month. Roughly the same difference exists for two-device accounts, with T-Mobile USA users saving about $10 a month, compared top a Verizon Wireless Share Everything plan.


That wouldn't strike some of us as especially "costly." Nor does it seem "complicated" or "punitive." There is a small difference. But not much.
