Instead of offering its own branded prepaid wireless services, Sprint first bought <a href=\"https:\/\/prepaidreviews.com\/providers\/boost-mobile\/\">Boost Mobile<\/a> and then purchased <a href=\"https:\/\/prepaidreviews.com\/providers\/virgin-mobile\/\">Virgin Mobile<\/a>. Sprint uses those brands, in addition to its slew of MVNOs, to represent its prepaid trade. T-Mobile has a few MVNOs, and it does offer its own prepaid services. But according to a recent report, they&#8217;ll begin offering prepaid services under a different brand, even though they themselves own that brand. Welcome to Go Smart Mobile.\n<!--more-->\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/prepaidreviews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/GoSmartMobile.jpg\">\nThe report comes from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tmonews.com\/2012\/12\/t-mobile-set-to-launchpartnersupport-new-prepaid-brand-gosmart-mobile\/\">TmoNews.com<\/a>, a usually reliable source of advanced T-Mobile information. They have marketing material, which you see above, which lays out the offerings for Go Smart Mobile. As you can see it will be $30 for unlimited talk and text, $35 to add web, and $45 to add 3G data. International texting is available for $5 per month, and international landline calling (along with texting) is $10 extra. Those deals are certainly competitive within the current market, and in many ways undercut rivals such as <a href=\"https:\/\/prepaidreviews.com\/providers\/straight-talk\/\">Straight Talk<\/a>.\nTo be clear, Go Smart Mobile, which hasn&#8217;t officially launched yet, is owned by Deutsche Telekom, the principal owners of T-Mobile. That makes an interesting scenario, considering the pending merger with <a href=\"https:\/\/prepaidreviews.com\/providers\/metropcs\/\">MetroPCS<\/a>. Could MetroPCS and Go Smart Mobile be T-Mobile&#8217;s Boost and Virgin? Or is there something much larger in the works?\nWe&#8217;ll know a bit more when Go Smart Mobile launches. TmoNews suggests that the launch could happen this week, so stay tuned.
