The carrier’s “T-Mobile Goes All In on Unlimited” blog post, which features a video of CEO John Legere declaring “the era of the data plan is over,” also implied T-Mo’s current plans will vanish for new customers.

Not so. Half an hour into a call with the press explaining the new plan, Legere clarified that “we’re not going to eliminate our other plans now.” T-Mobile PR confirmed Friday morning that the company’s current $50 per month 2 GB, $65 per month 6 GB and $80 per month 10 GB plans will remain, as will their tethering allocations, T-Mobile’s Data Stash data rollover service and free BingeOn opt-out.
