T-Mobile boosts plans with perks, 5-year price lock

T-Mobile's New Experience Family Plans

T-Mobile introduced two innovative family plans in April that replace their previous Go5G offerings. These new "Experience More" and "Experience Beyond" plans maintain the unlimited talk, text, and premium data while adding substantial upgrades like extended price locks, better mobile hotspot allowances, and satellite connectivity options - all at reduced monthly rates compared to previous offerings.

T-Mobile Experience More Plan ($140/month with AutoPay)

• Fixed pricing guaranteed for 5 years
• Device upgrade eligibility every 2 years
• Unlimited premium 4G & 5G data
• Netflix Standard with ads included
• Apple TV+ subscription
• 60GB high-speed mobile hotspot
• 15GB high-speed data in Canada/Mexico
• 5GB international data across 215+ countries
• In-flight texting and WiFi streaming

T-Mobile Experience Beyond Plan ($180/month with AutoPay)

• Fixed pricing guaranteed for 5 years
• Annual device upgrade eligibility
• Starlink satellite connectivity through 2025
• All Experience More benefits plus:
• Hulu with ads subscription
• Unlimited mobile hotspot data
• 30GB Canada/Mexico data
• 15GB international data
• $5/month connected device lines

Plan Recommendations

The Experience More plan delivers exceptional value at $45 per line (with autopay), providing comprehensive coverage that satisfies most users' needs with its unlimited data, included streaming services, and reasonable upgrade cycle.

Power users who frequently upgrade devices, need additional connected services, or travel extensively will find the Experience Beyond plan's enhanced features - including unlimited hotspot and expanded international data - justify its $60 per line price point.

Carrier Switch Incentives

T-Mobile currently offers aggressive switching bonuses, covering up to $800 per line to pay off existing device contracts from competitors. Their Family Freedom promotion includes lucrative deals like four flagship phones plus four new lines for just $100/month on their Essentials plan.

No-Contract Flexibility

These postpaid plans carry no service commitment, allowing cancellation anytime. While device installment plans remain binding, customers aren't locked into long-term service agreements.

Prospective customers should note that early payoff of financed devices may forfeit remaining promotional bill credits, so reviewing all terms before committing is advisable.
