T-Mobile was one of the first major carriers to go all-in with unlimited data, an approach the company has carried over to the present day. T-Mobile plans are now exclusively of the unlimited variety, including the entry-level Essentials and Essentials Saver plans, and the premium Experience More and Experience Beyond plans.
In this article, we’ll outline our favorite all-around T-Mobile unlimited plan (Experience More), our favorite T-Mobile unlimited family plan (Experience Beyond), and our favorite budget T-Mobile unlimited plan (Essentials). We’ll also tell you everything you need to know about T-Mobile perks, and what you can expect in terms of T-Mobile coverage.
Our favorite overall T-Mobile unlimited plan is Experience More. At $85/month, it includes unlimited premium data, a 60GB mobile hotspot allowance, free Apple TV+ and Netflix With Ads, and a host of international perks. All of this comes backed by T-Mobile’s formidable national 4G and 5G coverage.
If you have a family full of streaming fanatics, we recommend going with T-Mobile’s Experience Beyond plan. That’s because Experience Beyond features unlimited premium data—no deprioritization, ever—so your kids can stream the latest episode of Umbrella Academy without hitting any data speed bumps.
But Experience Beyond's virtues don’t end there. It also includes an unlimited high-speed mobile hotspot data allowance, international perks like in-flight texting and WiFi where available, and free Netflix and Apple TV+ subscriptions. Yes, it’s expensive at $100/month for one line, but that price drops significantly as you add them. Experience Beyond goes down to $53.75/month, for example, when you sign up for four lines. All in all, a feature-packed plan that should keep everybody in your family happy.
If you’re on the hunt for a cost-effective way to enjoy T-Mobile service, we recommend the $50/month Essentials Saver plan. While it lacks the extra perks and premium data of the carrier’s higher priced offerings, it still gives you access to the carrier’s powerful 5G network. If you can make do with deprioritized data and slow 3G hotspot data speeds, Essentials Saver may be exactly what you’re looking for.
As one of the country’s major carriers (a group that also includes Verizon and AT&T), T-Mobile operates its own system of national 4G LTE and 5G networks. T-Mobile’s 4G network ranks third out of the three majors in terms of total area covered, but its 5G network leads the pack. This 5G network is made up of both standard 5G spectrum and so-called 5G Ultra Capacity, which offers faster speeds and lower latency times.
