![T-Mobile does away with 200MB data plan for new subscribers](https://cdn.afterdawn.fi/v3/news/600x400/tmobilelogo-afterdawn.jpg)
The new minimum is 2GB, which is the standard for the other carriers.
For existing customers, you can keep your grandfathered 200MB plan, but all new subscribers will need to adhere to the new policy.
T-Mobile says the new policy is in place because "modern smartphones consume data at a faster rate" and "2GB will protect consumers from unexpected overages."
