Now specific plans are starting to emerge from carriers, aimed at helping cash-strapped consumers until this pandemic blows over.<br \/>\nT-Mobile this morning announced the launch of a $15\/month Metro plan &mdash; at half the cost of its current lowest-price plan. The pricing will be in place for the next 60 days, including unlimited talk and 2GB of data. The company is also tossing in a free eight-inch tablet (with rebate, plus fine print) and will be adjusting other data plans for the next two months.<br \/>\nAt the same time, Verizon (TC&rsquo;s parent company) announced that it will be adding 15GB of 4G data to current consumer and small business plans, in an effort to help customers use their handsets as mobile hotspots as needed. The company will also be taking $20 off select FiOS plans and waving router rental fees for 60 days.<br \/>\nLike the other carriers, AT&amp;T noted in a message to TechCrunch that it will not terminate service over inability to pay. It will also be waiving late fees, along with domestic overcharges for data, voice and text, retroactive to March 13.<br \/>\nSprint, meanwhile, will provide for 60 days unlimited data to customers with metered plans, starting March 18, along with 20GB of free mobile hotspot data. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/guce.techcrunch.com\/consent?brandType=nonEU&#038;done=https%3A%2F%2Ftechcrunch%2Ecom%2F2020%2F03%2F23%2Fcarriers%2Dintroduce%2Dplans%2Dto%2Dkeep%2Dconsumers%2Dconnected%2Dduring%2Dcovid%2D19%2Dpandemic%2F&#038;gcrumb=Cfy4zsM=\">Carriers introduce plans to keep consumers connected during COVID-19 pandemic<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Earlier this month, the FCC issued a new measure aimed at easing some of the burdens on consumers as COVID-19 continues to have an increasingly profound impact on nearly every aspect of life.
