T-Mobile & Rhapsody Introduce unRadio, the Un-carrier Take on Internet RadioSEATTLE --(Business Wire)-- With customers now spending more time streaming music than ever before, T-Mobile (News - Alert) US, Inc. (NYSE:TMUS) today announced a set of groundbreaking initiatives designed to both un-leash music in America and put its network's data muscle on display. Now, T-Mobile has put an Un-carrier spin on Internet radio, working with Internet music pioneer Rhapsody. The two companies are introducing unRadio, a new music service that eliminates the biggest customer pain points associated with traditional Internet radio. Traditional Internet radio interrupts you with ads, limits skips, and chooses your music for you. But, unRadio music streaming is completely ad-free, lets you skip all you want, and you can choose your music and replay your favorites anytime - all from a catalog of more than 20 million songs. Starting this Monday, June 23, T Mobile is giving unRadio - at absolutely no extra cost - to Simple Choice customers on its newest unlimited 4G LTE (News - Alert) data service. In addition, unRadio will be available at a discounted price of $4 per month for other T-Mobile customers. "This new music streaming service is so unlike traditional Internet radio, there was only one possible name for it - unRadio," said Mike Sievert, Chief Marketing Officer for T-Mobile. "We wanted to do something over the top for our customers, so we teamed up with our friends across town at Rhapsody to do what the Un-carrier does so well - turning convention on its head to benefit our customers." Rhapsody unRadio's features read like a wish list for streaming music listeners:
