T-Mobile will let its customers listen to Apple Music without racking up any data charges.
The telco added Apple to its “unlimited music streaming” plan that lets users listen to 33 streaming music services including Pandora, iHeartRadio and Spotify, without cutting into their high-speed data allocation.
Not everyone agrees that concerns about data usage curb listening habits. But T-Mobile Chief Executive John Legere says his customers now stream more than 131 million songs a day, an increase of 275 percent since Music Freedom’s introduction a year ago.

Contributions are a key part of the future of Vox
Readers rely on Vox for clear, nuanced coverage that not only illuminates the issues, but poses solutions, too.

In fact, we’re looking to reach 95,000 individual contributions before the end of the year. Will you make the next contribution right now? Our average gift is just $20 — and it goes a long way in helping us keep our work free. Vox is here to help everyone understand what’s shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. Join that mission by making a contribution today.
