NEW YORK CITY -- T-Mobile announced Wednesday a less expensive family plan for no-contract customers.

Now a family of four can get a plan for $100 per month with unlimited talk, text messaging and 500MB of full speed wireless data. There are not contracts or credit checks. That said, people will have to put down a deposit instead of the credit check to get the family plan. It's likely to be about the cost one month's service.
