Plans start at just $30/month, with the Essentials Saver plan including unlimited talk, text, and 50GB of premium data. You can bump up to the next tier with the Experience More plan, which includes unlimited talk, text, and premium data. Definitely worth looking into You also get 60GB of hotspot data included, unlimited texting, and 15GB of data for use in Canada and Mexico. T-Mobile will also throw in free Netflix and Apple TV for just $3/month. The carrier will also let customers upgrade their phone every two years. Those looking to go all out can opt for the Experience Beyond, which costs $80/month. This plan includes everything you get with the Experience More plan, but also throws in access to T-Satellite, along with unlimited texting to 215+ countries. In addition, you also get 15GB of high-speed data when traveling abroad, and 30GB of data for use in Canada and Mexico. There's also unlimited hotspot data, and the ability to upgrade your hardware every year. If you're looking to add some lines, the student plans can only accommodate two lines at the most. If you opt for two lines, Experience Beyond will cost $130/month, while Experience More will come in at $110/month. You can also opt for the Essentials Saver plan for two lines, which will come in at $60/month. The prices above do require AutoPay to be used in order to qualify for the full discount. The Experience Beyond and More plans will also include a five-year price guarantee. While we'd love to believe it, we have seen T-Mobile raise prices before. In fact, it recently retired legacy plans and caused prices to go up for those customers. Those prices are now in effect, but there could be trouble on the horizon for T-Mobile because one person is looking to take things to the top. Despite all the recent drama, T-Mobile is still a reliable wireless carrier and its prices are still quite good when compared to rivals like AT&T and Verizon. It provides excellent coverage and great speeds across the US. The connectivity abroad is also pretty good as well. Of course, if you're looking to score the best prices, we recommend going with an MVNO. Mint Mobile is an easy one to recommend because it works off T-Mobile's great network. You won't get a lot of extras, but you also don't need to be a student to get an unlimited plan for cheap either.
