T-Mobile Reshuffles Prepaid Plans

T-Mobile is reworking its prepaid plans, with a mix of positive and negative changes. All three new plans include a 5-year price guarantee (on data, voice, and text) and new perks like soccer and baseball TV subscriptions and free in-flight Wi-Fi on Delta. A new Starter plan replaces the old "10 GB" plan. While it remains $40/month for one line (with auto-pay, after first month, plus taxes & fees), the amount of high-speed data is upped to 15 GB. However, additional lines are now more expensive. For example, 4 lines were previously $100, but will be $130 with the new plan. The new Unlimited plan is now cheaper at $45 for one line (down from $50). While it previously included "unlimited" 5G data, customers using over 50 GB could see slow-downs "during congestion". Now, T-Mobile is making it clearer that both "Unlimited" plans simply include 50 GB of "premium high-speed" data. The new Unlimited Plus plan stays at $60/month for one line, but now includes voice and texting while roaming in Canada and Mexico. However, the allotment of high-speed mobile hotspot data has decreased from 10 GB to 5 GB. Other features of the new plans mirror the old plans. The new plans will be available next Tuesday, June 24.
