T-Mobile, Tuesday announced the addition of 11 new music streaming services – including big names such as SomaFM, Spinrilla, Aud.io and TuneIn Premium – to its Music Freedom service. Launched in June 2014, T-Mobile’s Music Freedom service allows its subscribers to stream music from select services without having to sacrifice the monthly data quota allocated on their mobile data plans.
The latest 11 channels are added to Music Freedom's existing 33 music streaming services which include big names such as Spotify, Apple Music, Pandora, Rhapsody, and so on. T-Mobile claims that services offered on Music Freedom cover more than 95% of all music streamed today.

The carriers tax and toll every note that their customers stream, and consumers know it. Nearly 40% of US wireless consumers avoid streaming music on their phones and over half of them do it because they worry about ridiculous overage fees and bill shock.
