I am super happy Google music finally got added! This was the last one I was waiting for. T-Mobile is killing the other carriers lately....

Not a T-Mobile customer, but I'm glad they're implementing things like this for competition sakes.

Not great for Net Neutrality, but great for T-mobile customers.

The net neutrality issue is minimal in this case I think as tmobile is not limiting access to any services or taking payment from any service providers. Also t mobile is far from a monopoly, unlike many regional telcos providing land line service. T-Mobile has said their goal is to get every streaming music service on board. How long that will take and hour feasible that may be are debatable, but at least that's their intention.

As a customer though I think it is awesome. I burn through 3-5 gb per month on Spotify, I would have to pay a lot more for that data with another carrier or significantly change my usage habits.

Makes me wonder if I can step off unlimited data now since Gmusic is supported.

I did once slacker was added since Google can cache.

 

[Kneedragger]

Yeah just got T-Mobile and seen this. Great since I have a data plan and can still listen to Spotify without worries..

Eh just checked their new plans. I'm on the $50 + $20 unlimited data. I would have to drop to their $50 1GB plan to be worth the savings. That's no where near enough with my surfing/instagram.

Yeah doubt blame you. I have the family plan that has 2.5 for no cost.

As slow as Verizon is in my area this seriously has me considering switching to T-mobile for a drastic cut in my bill, access to a Nexus 6 without too much bloat (from what I hear) since Verizon hasn't even announced if they'll sell it direct yet and potentially faster speeds. Verizon does have good coverage but for whatever reason a lot of the time even on 4G I get some pretty subpar speeds unless I'm at home in which case it doesn't matter since I have the phone switch to wifi anyways.

Happy they added Xbox Music. That will drastically cut down on my data usage. Might as well drop my plan a notch.

I love Tmo because of...
Volte
WiFi calling
Unlimited music
Good pricing, especially family plans.
Speed
