Starting June 24, T-Mobile Prepaid customers can access a new plan offering a single line of service for as low as $40 per month, with rates locked in for at least five years. However, it’s important to note that this price does not cover taxes and fees, which may be adjusted by T-Mobile at any time. The basic Starter Monthly plan provides unlimited talk and text but limits high-speed data to 15 gigabytes a month.
Given today’s data consumption habits, many users are likely to prefer the Unlimited Monthly plan priced at $45 or the Unlimited Plus Monthly plan at $60. Both of these higher-tier plans offer unlimited 5G data alongside unlimited calling and texting. The $45 option provides unlimited hotspot data, albeit at reduced 3G speeds.
In contrast, the more expensive $60 Unlimited Plus plan includes 5GB of high-speed hotspot data before dropping to 3G, along with additional perks like unlimited texting to over 215 international destinations and unlimited talk and text while roaming in Canada and Mexico. While these new prepaid plans from T-Mobile appear improved overall, they bear resemblance to existing options, including a reduction in the Unlimited plan price from $50 to $45 and the introduction of a 5-Year Price Guarantee. T-Mobile is marketing these plans as superior to their competitors, but rival offerings such as Verizon’s Unlimited Prepaid with 5GB high-speed hotspot data and AT&T’s plan at just $25 for a $300 year-long commitment present strong competition.
