If you're a T-Mobile customer you will soon be able to play all the Pokémon Go you want and not a single megabyte used to do so will count towards your monthly data plan.

Starting on July 19, T-Mobile is giving all of its customers a year (until August 2017) of unlimited data for Pokémon Go. The generous gift of data is the latest reward as part of the company's T-Mobile Tuesdays, which gives customers freebies every Tuesday.

T-Mobile customers can claim their unlimited Pokémon Go data through the T-Mobile Tuesdays app on Tuesdays starting from July 19 through Aug. 9.

Next week's rewards also include a free Lyft ride (up to $15), a free Wendy's Frosty, and 50 percent off select accessories at T-Mobile stores.

Additionally, 250 selected people will win $100 in PokéCoins to spend in the app, and five lucky winners will get a free Pokémon Go monster "hunting" trip for them and one guest to anywhere in the U.S.

"This is what T-Mobile Tuesday is all about – thanking customers with hot, new, totally free gifts every week, and right now, nothing is hotter than Pokémon Go!" said John Legere, president and CEO of T-Mobile, in a press release. "With the carriers’ shared data schemes, players could easily burn up the family’s data bucket – and then, hello, overages! At T-Mobile, we’re unleashing Pokémon Go so our customers can play free for a year."

Once again, T-Mobile does what Verizon, Sprint and AT&T don't.
