    If you're a T-Mobile customer and just can't get enough Netflix, boy are you about to be excited.

    On Tuesday, T-Mobile announced "Binge On," an effort that the so-called un-carrier calls an answer to Americans’ "surging demand for mobile entertainment by—of all things—unleashing mobile video."

    Here's what we can tell you about the program. Beginning this Sunday, T-Mobile customers that are viewers and subscribers of a boatload of streaming services "can stream mobile video without ever burning up their high-speed data plan."

    If you're wondering, it’s available to all current and new Simple Choice customers (on qualifying plans, of course). And best of all, there's no additional cost.

    To kick things off, T-Mobile announced 24 partners with Binge On -- Netflix, HBO, Hulu, Sling TV, ESPN, Showtime, Starz, Vevo, Vessel, Univision Deportes, MLB TV, Fox Sports, NBC Sports, Crackle, Vudu and T-Mobile TV. And more streaming services on the way, we're told.

      I wouldn't exactly say "very" limited. They are VERY much stepping up their game. Coverage is actually pretty good as of late. Check out their latest coverage map and compare it to the big 2. Not too shabby I'll say.

      Nice... I have an unlimited data plan so it's not useful to me, but still pretty cool unless it slows down my connection! lol

      I agree... a couple of years ago the coverage in my part of Ohio was ok near my house and ok at work, but on the trip back and forth I practically had no signal.. now no matter where I go I seem to have a very strong signal

      T-Mobile is changing the game. Been with them for many many years and they rarely disappoint. Right T-Mo.

      Would love to try them but I called them a couple months ago to check on coverage, pricing, etc and within 10 seconds of the call, they asked me my social. I said I'm just calling to inquire about prices and coverage. They wouldn't talk to me unless I give them my social. Obviously, I hung up.

      Does this count with the free 200mb data plan for iPad?

      If I wasn't already on their 2 lines inlimited for $100 deal, this would be huge news. Still pretty cool for everyone else.

      Does music count against the free 200mb? If the answer is no then I'm sure this would be the same.
