As T-Mobile’s “Un-Carrier 5.0” event segued into “Un-Carrier 6.0” Wednesday evening, the carrier announced they are teaming up with Internet music service Rhapsody to create a new ad-free subscription music service dubbed “Rhapsody unRadio” that will be offered free to T-Mobile Unlimited 4G LTE customers.
unRadio music streaming will be totally ad free, will allow you to skip all you want, and you can also choose your music and replay your favorites any time – from a catalog of more than 20 million songs. Offline listening is limited to 25 songs.
“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.”
Offered as an added benefit to T-Mobile customers subscribed to unlimited data plans, unRadio will debut on June 22nd, and will be available to both Android and iOS users.
unRadio will be available to users on other networks for $5 per month, while existing T-Mobile customers who are not on an all you can eat data plan can get the new streamer for $4 per month. As mentioned above, “Straight Choice Unlimited Plan” subscribers get the service for free.
Rhapsody unRadio will be available initially for iOS and Android and on the Web. For more information about unRadio, please visit Rhapsody.com.
