Well folks, if you have not watched the recent Uncarrier 12 event from T-Mobile, you are missing out on one hell of a sales pitch. One similar to what you might expect at a small town used car lot.

As is often the case in the world of sales and marketing, the big bold words are so enticing it is difficult to ignore. We have all fallen in love with the promises that we, as customers, are truly as important as companies want us to believe. Hey, unlimited data! Who would not want that?

Have a listen to hear what we think of these new changes at T-Mobile and AT&T to see if they truly match up to their claims or if it will leave you feeling as guilty as you did when you bought that "As Seen on TV!" item collecting dust in the closet you used once.
