So yes, technically you are correct, they are still selling Simple Choice plans but only for two more weeks.
"T-Mobile says unlimited plans will be only option"

On this we agree. I believe this is a major misstep on Tmobile's part. I was seriously considering moving my wife and I over to T-Mobile this year, but not now. I think they are vastly overestimating the number of people that need/want unlimited data (particularly at this price point). In fact, I'm beginning to feel like TMO is going from being the "Uncarrier" to becoming very... well... "carrier"

OK, what you pointed to is a press story and what wco81 linked to is a press story and I tend to believe them actually, but look at this:
https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-...S00W055QZJ6425
OK, read that and look at it and see if you can find anyplace where it says Simple Choice is going away.
Do I believe you over my link, yes I do. Do I think that it's beyond t-mobile to have slopped everything all up and given out correct information to the press and wrong information on its own website, no I do not.
But you can see why I believed what I believed.
I think you're right and I'm wrong, but I certainly hope (and I'm sure you do too) I'm right and you're wrong.
Look at the third to last FAQ! Do I believe it over you, NO.
But it says the opposite of what you say (and I believe what YOU say) in the plainest possible terms.
The Simple Choice price structure that I thought they still had was worse than they had before, but I thought they still had it.
And while you are right that they are overestimating the number of people who need unlimited data, what they are offering is "unlimited" data. No decent tethering. They are VASTLY overestimating the number of people who need "unlimited" data.
They were ALREADY offering essentially unlimited data. My wife uses a LOT of zero-rated data. NOW they have this stupid plan (which is incrementally getting less bad) but is getting more and more and more byzantine.
Did they sign up for a contest to see who was best at alienating customers? Are they developing a business model for messing up a successful business?
Yeesh.
