T-Mobile Introduces New Plans with Price Guarantee

T-Mobile is set to phase out its existing Go5G plans in favor of two new offerings: Experience More and Experience Beyond. Both plans come with a noteworthy feature—a five-year rate guarantee, allowing customers to lock in their monthly fee without fears of a price hike. However, potential customers should still be aware of certain conditions that accompany these plans.

The Experience Beyond plan is priced at $100 per month for a single line, reflecting an autopay discount. This plan maintains many of the benefits provided by its predecessor, the Go5G Next plan. Customers can expect a new smartphone each year and access to popular streaming services including Netflix, Apple TV Plus, and Hulu. Notably, this plan also offers T-Mobile’s satellite service and significantly expands high-speed hotspot data from 50GB to an impressive 250GB.

On the other hand, the Experience More plan is available for $85 per month per line, presenting a $5 reduction from the outgoing Go5G Next. This plan increases its hotspot data allowance to 60GB and includes satellite connectivity, though only through the end of this year.

Mike Katz, T-Mobile’s president of marketing, emphasized that the price guarantee aims to provide reassurance to customers amid rising costs across various sectors. “We felt like it was really important that we… gave them an assurance that for the next five years, they don’t have to worry about this category,” Katz stated. However, it’s essential to note that compared to previous plans, these new options do not cover taxes and fees within their pricing structure. Such additional charges will be applied on top of the monthly fees and are not included in the price guarantee.

Even if T-Mobile adheres to its commitment of keeping monthly rates stable for five years, it’s worth mentioning that the company retains the right to modify associated fees, introduce new charges, or adjust autopay discounts. These practices have been observed across the industry, raising questions about the true stability of pricing in the telecom sector.
