If you only have a single line, you're probably way better off going with an MVNO (unless you are a heavy user off the extra benefits that come with the carrier "unlimited" plans).

BTW, T-Mobile Magenta is still available for $70/month.

For single line att is the best. T-Mobile has most expensive plan.

Hey, I’m pretty sure the Unlimited Ultimate with VZ is $75 + Tax. Since the BYOD credit is $540/36 months which is $15 discount each month.

TMib8ke is just like any other greedy corporation. I have been a customer for 15 yrs and some months I have to choose whether I pay my phone bill or eat.

They jack my bill up every month. Promised 165 am being charged 220. Def an issue.

I think so for my 13 lines my bill is 400 dollars I am glad taxes and fees are included don’t wanna think how much that saves me. So T-Mobile is very ahead write there. Other than pricing is about the same.

They got rid of all tax included plans for customers signing up as of yesterday. The currently available offer is $15 a month tax excluded (and if you sign up, I would like to know what the taxes look like, because they aren't supposed to be taxing data only lines per the Internet Tax Freedom Act so I'm curious if they are just charging their cost recovery fee, which isn't technically a tax and is allowed).

Speeds are the same as any other QCI 6 data on T-Mobile for the first 50GB and then it has unlimited at QCI 9 after.

You can get the plan by going here, choosing tablet, and then hitting the select button at the bottom to add it to the cart. You'll see the $15 plan on the list of options (it's no longer the default selected one).

I was lucky enough to sign up at the beginning of the month for this plan

• If you need more than 40 GB but don’t need any HotSpot ever then Metro
• if you need more than 40GB and some HotSpot then Ultra
• if you are OK with less than 40GB then Mint is best, with US Mobile and Tello being close contenders.

Not MVNOs but the mothership.

Find a Group plan for the big voice plan if you need that, like Go5G Plus Up, I pay $40

Home Internet also true unlimited a bit cheaper

Backup version even cheaper, limited to 130GB

Curious. Why TMobile?

I moved from Tmo to project Genesis and have hit 500gb with no problem.

Also Crickets everything more plus has shown usage of a gig with no throttling.

surprised no one has mentioned /r/Tello yet

Metro $25 unlimited plan!! I believe this plan is one of the best especially because it uses tmobile towers.

T-Mobile One, T-Mobile One Essentials. Both are on the website

There is a $10 tier that is 3GB (with BingeOn) that you might talk a rep into adding to only the lines that need it.

Essentials is deprioritized almost always. That means if a regular T-Mobile or MetroPCS customer were to be using the network, you'd probably be getting 25% of their speeds. Essentials' prioritization is right above the MVNOs (which isn't good). If anything go with Magenta or higher.

This is a copy of the OP's original post in case they decide to delete their post/account so that others searching can find it later:

So Mint and starting August 20, US Mobile will have a sale on their annual Tmobile networks plans. Mint will end up costing $7 more than US Mobile light speed.

Any major differences between the two plans? I don’t see myself using more than 70 gigs a month.

I'm actually contemplating the exact same 2 plans. The major difference I see is Mint has "your data may be deprioritized, leading to potentially slower speeds during network congestion." Which means it could still be blazing fast if you're on a tower that's not congested even past 70 gb

With US Mobile once you reach 70 gb your speeds are throttled to 1 megabit for the duration of that month.

I don't think I've ever come close to using 70gb, but if I did one month I would rather be deprioritized instead of dropped with a throttle, but I'm still trying to figure out which plan I'm going to go with.

The other major difference is that you could theoretically switch between networks if need be. You also get some international roaming with the annual plan (1gb). You could also add on another network. Mint might have some domestic roaming that light speed just won’t (but you could move over to dark star for a period of time if you need that).

in a similar situation, what did you decide ?

US Mobile is great and I doubt there is a better priced plan out there.

Connect by T-Mobile at $15 plus taxes and fees, for unlimited talk/text and 5 GB of priority data per month, per line. This is a prepaid plan, so it works in a prepaid type of way for payment, where you add money to the account and then it deducts once a month. It's not better than US Mobile's pricing, it just gets you the ability to go in-store for support, domestic roaming, and priority data.

My suggestion if you go to US Mobile. Go to their Warp (Verizon) network with both lines before 8/18. Change to Lightspeed (T-Mobile) after 8/18. This will get you grandfathered in to priority data on Verizon, so if you want to switch back later, you dont have to pay extra for priority data.

Helium. If you want to go bare bones, dual sim the free plan with TextNow. Unlimited talk, text, and 3gb data, all for free every month!

I use us mobile with 2gb shared data. Run over 2gb more often than not, but have auto top off. 2 dollars per gb and unused data rolls over. I average about 20 dollars per month for 2 lines, taxes and fees included. No issues.

We can get spoil with the old tmobile plans because of a feature called bingon I think. And basically makes that streaming won't count towards data. Not sure if it still exist.

If your cellular data setting has 5G on vs Auto that will use more. Cellular settings will also break down usage by app.

Hmm yeah, speed tests can burn through a lot of data, especially if you're on 5G. That could explain things. Also, maybe check if you’ve got Wi-Fi Assist on or some apps running only on cellular. And have you checked which apps are using the most data? Sometimes stuff like that just quietly adds up without you noticing.

Yeah it matches. I'll just have to mind myself better with my data. Thanks for the reply though!

Video quality (bitrate and resolution) may be have been throttled on your old plan but uncapped on US Mobile so you will use more data on video and social media sites on US Mobile. You can manually set quality/data use on each app/website to lower to lower data usage - YouTube, TikTok, Reddit, Netflix, etc. I also turn off autoplay of all videos on social media platforms as I’ll choose whether to play or not - this reduces data substantially if you find yourself scrolling short form video a lot (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter/X, Reddit, Facebook, Snapchat, etc)
