Sort of unlimited as in uncapped speeds for a few GB then capped. As opposted to the T-mobile a few uncapped MBs then capped.
You can't buy a simcard, VM is CDMA.

i dont know if you guys know this.. yes cdma carriers in the usa are cheap but you guys cant use it outside usa i prefer gsm because i dont have to be locked down on what cdma carriers are offering (mostly dumbphones) and if i travel back in my country its nice that i can use the phone i bought here...

and i dont know if you use t-mobile before but i never been capped on data even if you use 1.49$ web day pass or the 30$/mo... it is unlimited.

There are some decent CDMA phones for VM, with a pretty good one coming in a few weeks.
Yes, it sucks that it can't be used in the rest of the world, and when I go to Europe I use a GSM phone (this year I will use my N900).
The daily pass is quite expensive if used often. Besides, I have almost no T-mobile coverage at home, but I have some Sprint coverage, and it would be nice to use my phone at home too..

Even T-Mobile's "Unlimited" plan isn't really, in their ToS it says that you'll be throttled if you exceed 5GB in a month. Yes you'll still get the data, but crap throughput isn't my idea of an ideal "unlimited" plan. Still not much you can do, which sucks.

That's their way now, for example check out their "unlimited" family plans:

They sell each as unlimited data, but charge more to raise the cut-off where the speeds are dropped...

Of course I could be wrong, or the terms/prices on the plans may be different for new customers vs legacy plans/pricing, since I noticed that they started mentioning hard limits on data usage, and ditched the old 'unlimited' wording.
You're correct, I was just in one of their stores and asked about this. They said online you can only see the Even More Plus pricing if you're a current customer but anyone can come into a store for EMP plans. Here is the pricing shown to me when I click "Add a line" for my account:

750 min - $49.99
1500 min - $59.99
3000 min - $79.99
Unlimited - $79.99

+ $20 for unlimited txt
+ $40 for unlimited web

These are the family plan prices. It doesn't show me the individual line prices.
