@@HoIyGrail Your bill will likely increase by $5 per line. If you want the best device financing deals, I personally think it's probably worth it. You can always decide later though -- there is no rush to upgrade.
@@StetsonDoggett Thanks Stetson. $5 extra? So 25 more per month, that would make it about $600 more every 2 years? Yeah, really going to have to think if the financing deals will be worth it.
@@HoIyGrail Yeah, it would be $600 more every 2 years. You'd be able to get 4 free phones every two years though, which is $3,200 in value every two years. Subtract the extra $600 you'd be paying per month, and it would be roughly $2,600 in savings. Of course, if you purchase devices outright and upgrade less frequently, maybe that could be a better option, too. I think ultimately comes down to your preferences.
This is early 2010s level content. Just a dude trying to help people out. Thank you so much It takes real work to crunch the numbers on the trade in and look at comparable trade in values for a true apples to apples comparison. Usually when I'm shopping for stuff, youtube reviews dont put in that extra work and basically regurgitate the promos and dont even point out caveats. You did all of these things. 10/10 sir
I work at T-mobile and I agree with everything mentioned here. Also found it super helpful to have an honest breakdown when factoring in the trade-in values from the competition. Thank you!
Agreed. Also a fellow coworker at TMO. Literally makes no sense to do this other than trying to bring ATT customers and trying to rebrand what’s already there. The smart move would’ve to do this plan change is with the starlink-TMO launch

@@atm5365 If you're at a TPR, you just have to keep applying to COR positions. A referral won't do much to be honest. It's sort of just glossed over, you just need to score really high on the online assessment when you apply that's how you get noticed.
I am on the ONE plan paying $144 for 4 lines (one free) I just spoke with a agent at TM and they said I can upgrade to GO 5G+ for $4 more per month and still able to get trade-in credits of $830 for my old iPhone 7+. It seems like a killer deal. I think for familes the new plans are not bad if you are coming from older plans, but again, you need to make the calculations to make sure because each individual situation is different.
Just wanted to say, Well Done! Categorized nicely, Breakdown of prices were easy to see, transition between plans were presented well in ascending prices, and you covered quite a good amount of information for a wide variety of people in various categories. Good transition and use of visual highlighting were outstanding! It was easy to follow. Keep it up.
@jt2quick Totally agree! I like the way he thinks, compares, highlights & presents so much, that I liked and subscribed, and also hope he keeps doing comparisons like this! Very well done!
I'm a T-Mobile customer. We have Unlimited Freedom, a sprint plan. When my dad (the account owner) heard of the new plans, we looked at them. I was very surprised to see that Essentials Savings is just Essentials with a few downgrades and no 3rd line free.
I've looked at both and compared them. The Essential Savings it's just Essentials but for $10 less. And get this. There was no downgrade in perks at all. You get the same ones you would get on essentials but for $10 cheaper. So no they didn't just drop the price and then downgrade the plan. It still essentially the exact same plan, but for $10 cheaper.
My husband had the unlimited Freedom plan also. When I saw what he was paying, I compared it to T-Mobile’s current plans. I realized he could get the senior discount and free Netflix and Apple + for basically the same price he was paying. So off we went to the store. The people that work there have always been nice. They switched him over.
I just checked at a tmobile store, current subscribers cannot avail of the new promo (2 lines plus 1 free) at the discounted price. You would end up with a higher monthly rate instead so actually not a good move to change into a new plan which is not good or make sense.You’d have to change numbers if that is the case to really avail it. It works more for non-tmobile subscribers wanting to move to tmobile. For example, I have 3 lines, I will need to get another line and the 5th one would be free.
I’m still on the old T-Mobile One plan. Absolutely no reason to change either. Unlimited everything except hotspot which I don’t really use anyway. Taxes and fees included and same price every single month. I also keep my phones longer than most people and only upgrade phones when mine start running slow or no longer receive updates
They tried to get me to upgrade from Magenta to go 5g plus. Instead I downgraded to essential savings and I’ve yet to notice a difference in speeds. It’s fine for my needs.
I have always watched Stetson. He has grown so much and now he is very professional and straight to the point. I will always support you bud! Keep these videos coming!!!
I've traded 2 phone in at&t for iphone 13 pro and samsung flip 3 , they said they're going to deduct $800 on the iphone 13 pro and $800 for the samsung flip 3, but after 1 and half year of paying I've noticed that I'm still paying the total monthly bill for both phone and there's really no deduction of $800 each for trade in. I even got an iPhone 12 mini because they said it's $1 only per month for 36 months, but when I checked my bills, I'm paying $17 a month on iphone 12 mini a month and not $1 a month.
The most annoying thing is that they market these account "upgrades" as getting you access to new phone deals, but then when we actually need a new device, all the deals are for a new account type so we never get to take advantage of these "deals".
T-mobile may hurt themselves by raising their prices. They’ve always been known for having the best deals with their plans. Their coverage is not the best. Honestly I feel they have no business raising prices when they still have a lot of work to do with the network. Also ppl have stay when them because they were budget friendly. Take that away and ppl go to the next cheaper network
I kind of agree @ sashanj848. T-Mobile is not perfect the way they claimed the 5G work’s supposed to be and not to mention the dropping calls. It sucks that they increase the price. After all, that was the reason that I stayed with them for many years because nobody can beat their prices. Not to mention, the 5 dollars off per line if you sign an automatic pay with a credit card they took it out, unless you use your debit card. Now, why in the world would you do that after 20 years of history together? T-Mobile should be able to tell which customers were able to pay consistently or not. The bottom line is someone in a high position is getting greedy. I’m still searching for a better plan; though, I haven’t studied Mint mobile yet, otherwise, I'll end up signing with Verizon Can you hear me now?
I'm on a grandfathered simple choice plan from long ago. I use lots of data and use mobile Hotspot often with my S23 Ultra. Do you think it would be a good idea to upgrade my plan to the 90$ one?? Or should I stick with my current plan??
T-Mobile also updated metro by t mobiles plans shortly after they did this as well they added 2GB of hotspot for the 40 dollar plan increase the hotspot limit from 5GB to 8GB under $50 plan and increase their hotspot by 5 gigs on their $60 plan from 20 gigs to 25gigs I'm currently a Metro by T-Mobile customer myself and I'm the one that witnessed these changes to their plans
An insider discount is a special code you can get from a T-Mobile employee that gives you 20% off your T-Mobile bill for as long as you are a customer.
@@StetsonDoggett Is that for postpaid or prepaid customers? *And yes, you'd kinda HAVE TO be a T-Mobile customer to get 20% off your T-Mobile bill. Like using a PIGGLY WIGGLY loyalty card at VON's 😱
I switched to Verizon and I'm loving it. T-Mobile has way too many issues way too often and they don't even bother giving people credits when they mess up. Also I'm paying less for the same plans I have the $90 and their 5g internet with TMobile I was paying around $150 for everything and with Verizon im paying $131 they give you a massive discount on the internet when you have the $90 plan. The one thing that I've noticed is that T-Mobile does have more 5g coverage. But Verizon gets service in areas where TMobile is completely deadzoned and I haven't had any random dropped calls on Verizon like I did with TMobile
thank you for this, after being with V since analog days 1999 Im nervous as hell, I just switched to T because of the 55+ hotspot 50gb & great price on the s24+ I hope to god my international set up will be ok in Ukraine, Moldova, Poland. in any case V has some great international so I stayed even though I had some crazy troubles with bills when I got home, (most folks do) I hope those days are OVER! Ukraine here I come again in April.
Plus you got to remember with the higher tier plans you become priority my service never slows down ever no matter if I use 160 gigs or a hundred it doesn't matter
I just changed my phone plan to Go5G Plus BEFORE watching your video, just based on the description of the plan. I spend a lot of time traveling, especially to Mexico and I need all the extra GBs I can get of hotspot data and regular data. Totally worth it to me. I've run out before and ended up having to purchase a data pass for $50. Don't want to do that again. Besides that the plan gives more data for international visits in most countries.
In my case was only $6 higher in toal for all to move from Magenta Max to Go5GPlus So it was worth it. Just to be able to get the better deals. Comes far out cheaper than just buying the phone.
Great point on the Taxes and Fees varying where your located. I live in chicago and 911 is a $5 fee per line. Thats not to account for the other fees. Tmobile including taxes and fees is the biggest reason our family sticks to Tmobile (Plus the amazing international feature).
Wish I discovered your channel way long before, just started watching the plans podcast w Dennis and catching up your channel too. that podcast show I love and wish it didn’t go away 😔. Def my main go to about phone plans Stetson! Keep up the great work!!
Of course, from the esim episode to the last one, great series! At least now I can catch new content when it’s out. I have ONE plan btw 12 lines lol def won’t be giving that up for these higher priced plans 🤷♂️ thank you again for all you do and research 👍
This video helped me make a decision, I'm in the military and I pay too much with ATT for 4 lines even with their military discount. To be honest Coverage for most leading providers is pretty much on par the same in the US.
To add on, T-Mobile also offers a range of plans specifically designed for business customers. These plans may include features like unlimited data, international calling, and device management tools tailored for businesses.
im currently on the magenta max plan and the 2 changes that are nice and notiiceable in my opinion is the increase in data in canada and mexico and the new in two deal that you can upgrade every 2 years, it is nice but i might just stick with the the max, cause yea the increase of data in international countries are nice but me personally i only go to canada only for a week thats it and the new in 2 is nice but the phones these days arent taking giant leaps every 2 years, like i have the S22 ultra and the 23 ultra is not that different exept for inprovements on the camera, and i dont think the S24 will be a big difference i might just wait till the S25 to upgrade.
I’m also currently on Magenta Max and the price increase would be insane. None of the perks would benefit me at all and the upgrade every 2 years would be cool but the huge price difference makes me not want to do it.
Is the "New in Two" the same thing as being on Magenta Max and upgrading your phone every 2 years using it as trade-in (when EIP is paid off) and doing it when the new phone comes out (better deals)? When new phones release the deals are usually: "~$800 off with new line or with device trade-in" Probably now they'll only have the top deals for Go5G+ customers only and other plans only get half
I assume if I get the plan with the 50 gb hotspot, when the hotspot runs out the speed decrease, or is this one in done til next month rolls around? The video gave alot of info thank you!
I’ve been with T-Mobile for 5 years on a One plan unlimited 55 plan with 2 lines. I recently bought a new iPhone 15 and didn’t trade in my old 8 plus because I’d have to change plans. Now my son took his phone to Verizon so they are saying I as a single phone user will pay less ($70) for the Go5G 55 plus plan. But right now I’m paying $80 for 2 lines and a watch. The new plan does not sound better and they never told me what my current phone would cost.
@@CECE1839 it is actually stated in our C2 documents. Which is basically T-Mobile law for promotions, information, and all. It’s our holy bible to some extent.
I have had Verizon for about 10 years and the coverage and service has always been fine. My bill is about $123 per month for 2 lines @ 10gig (We typically use 5-7gig per month). That is the all-in price. I was going to switch to T-Mobile due to it being $70 all-in for unlimited. I held off to try to research their coverage (we did not want to have poor coverage, even at a cheaper price) - It appears in our area, the coverage is fine.....Logged on to their site a month ago, and see the magenta 55+ is gone and they are calling it the Go5G 55-plus plan, and it is about $10 more, at $80 per month all-in. (2 lines) We will likely still switch if Verizon cannot offer a competitive deal, because even with T-Mobile's increase to $80, it would still be about $43 cheaper than we currently pay.
Tbh you can still switch to the magenta 55 but u have to call it in after u activated with that plan the key here is call it in only or over the chat in store is not allowed
In other words sign up at corporate store and then get the go5g plan and then switch to the normal one. But make sure you know it won’t qualify for cerctain promos
Thank you for the great Video! I'm currently on One Plan paying $30 per line for 4 lines. I need to add another line which cost $20. Is it worth it to upgrade to any of the newer plans and give up the lower $ per line under the One Plan? Thank you!
Its interesting that At&T is taking the value crown when they have always been just as or slightly less expensive as Verizon tbh. I used to work at AT&T and hearing people talk about Verizon they don't understand that you're paying a whole lot more and barely getting much back. T-Mobile in my eyes will always be the best carrier because of what they give extra for the service you get. If you live in a place where T-Mobile gets poor service, you should get Verizon because of the coverage in mote rural areas
Yeah the prices that they're charging now, I call "Verizon prices" Essentially charging that now makes Verizon a better deal. If Verizon is reliable in your area they are a better deal with the perks you get.
What if I upgrade my device every 3-5 years? Go5G includes taxes and fees while Essentials doesn't. This could end up meaning that Go5G can be potentially cheaper or on par in terms of price, but for more benefits, at least for a single line.
I’m was feelin that Go 5G plus plan being a former Metro by T-Mobile customer I got tired of so many dropped calls so the go 5G plus is gonna be much better. It’s gonna be a little more costly at $95 but I’m willing to pay for that for Better coverage.
Could you point me in the direction of a good comparison of the old Military One plan (not one plus)? The promo me and my family got was bogo on an eligible phone and get half off a plan (I believe adding a cellular line after the third line is $10) I’m finding it hard to compare them (the new military plans that is)
You keep your free lines, insider codes, etc… if you move your plan to the new 5G Plus. I work for T-Mobile and wanted to double check bore I changed my plan to the new one. Remember that T-Mobile does taxes and fees included on all current plans besides essentials. AT&T and Verizon do not do this.
I’ve got 1 line on magenta max & was looking to upgrade to the go5g plus plan & join circledin after that. Should I upgrade or just keep the magenta max before joining circledin? Ty for any advice
If you travel a lot then I would say the plan itself is a good deal. I just switched and I travel a lot. If you are grandfathered jump 1.0 I would stick with it. However jump 2.0 would upgrade.
I came from Sprint. My Plan looks similar to Magenta w/0 AAA and Netflix 5 lines for $150. If I want to upgrade my iphone X, any recommendations? or should I keep this $30/line looks pretty good? Why is the Go+ states $255 per month which works to $51/line
The T-Mobile plan is the MAGENTA MAX 55+ Plan. I believe my plan offers much more for then T-MO’s newest plans, so I’ll stick with the current plan that I have. Great RUclips video!
Really miss John Legere as CEO, seems like this new CEO is trying to follow Verizon plans and confuse everyone with all these weird plan names. Seems like everything is starting to fall apart since Legere stepped down. They should've just converted the Magenta Max plan into the Go5g if they wanted to change the name so badly. Now when I log in my Magenta Max plan says I need to upgrade to Go5g to get the benefits on new phone deals. Great way to screw your 19 year long loyal customer over. Smh.
They took away the phone deal benefits I had on Magenta Max and moved them to Go5g Plus. So they actually didn't give us a new plan, they just took away benefits we had and moved them somewhere to act like it was new so they could charge us more for what we already had.
As a current T-Mobile customer, and a senior citizen, after almost 3 years trying to pay off the bogus "BOGO" plan, including the lies the T-Mobile (previously Sprint store) rep told us re plan costs and the BOGO, T-Mobile customer service said I "shouldn't have trusted THAT store because it was PREVIOUSLY Sprint...just with the T-Mobile name"!!! HELLO?!? And T-Mobile's consistent ongoing disregard for customers' privacy and information security after two ENORMOUS data breaches that they covered up for a long time, then lied about, and still haven't fixed as recently as the breach in late 2022, and that I only learned about when it was exposed on a TV news program, I want to run away from T-Mobile as far and fast as I can. They simply do NOT value CURRENT customers at all; we are just "throwaways" to them; they don't give us ANY breaks.
@smorten50 it's become a really bad company since John Legere left. It's been 4 months and my new bill shows they still haven't fixed my plan back to the original Magenta Max plan that one of there stores changed without my permission. And they haven't been giving me my auto pay discount for my 7 lines either and that's hooked up to my bank account not a credit card so they are really ripping me off the past 4 months.
Nope! You’re able to keep your Magenta MAX plan for as long as you’d like. The only thing is the Magenta MAX plan may not be eligible for the best device promos in the future, or you may get lower trade in credit for your old phone when you go to upgrade than customers who are on the newer plans.
I’m currently on the magenta 55+ plan and haven’t had any issues at all it’s been 2 years + now but if they try to raise my prices I’ll be switching faster than a flea on a dog
I have TMobile 55+ with 3 lines and I don't get the good trade in values . I believe it's the essential one . I need to keep my cost low but I love the upgrade every 2 years what do you think I should do. Help
I have being with Tmobile for 22 years now my 2 line package has being grandfather. ATT prices keep going up and up plus they don't include taxes and all kind of fees
I want to ask if paying jump start is really worth it . I dont really trade phone i rather buy new phone instead of traiding , im paying 18 dollars for that insurance ,in using ny phone for almost 2 yrs now and i dont really have problem so i dont know if paying insurance really worth it
When it comes down to people, getting new phones and wanting the best deals, you will have to go onto the gold plus 5G plan as you will have an overall total cheaper bill rather than sticking to a legacy plan and getting almost half of the promotion or less, and your bill will be more expensive. They do this on purpose to get you to go to the new plants.
How many lines can you have? I hae a bunch of lines on US Mobile. 8 on Cricket i want to know how many lines i could have on Tmobile. Is the max 5 lines?
Tmobile 5g slow like turtle , used to have sign every where when still 4g but since they upgraded to 5g and I have to upgraded my phone to Samsung s20 to have 5g broadband since then signal keep on buffering alot . when get near to tall building
US Mobile’s GSM LTE plans are becoming a better and better value as T-Mobile raises prices. Glad I jumped ship before USM discontinued their Unlimited All plan. $25/line is simply unbeatable as far as I can tell
This is so confusing. For 2 lines I pay $90 a month on essentials. My iphone is paid off but I’m planning on getting the iPhone 15 when it comes out. Should I switch to go56 plus when I upgrade?
I’m so upset. I got the forever upgrade when I bought my iPhone 13 but apparently it was phased out last December. So much for for “forever”. Now o have to switch plans for my trade in to be worth anything.

An insider discount is a special code you can get from a T-Mobile employee that gives you 20% off your T-Mobile bill for as long as you are a customer.
@@StetsonDoggett
Is that for postpaid or prepaid customers?
*And yes, you'd kinda HAVE TO be a T-Mobile customer to get 20% off your T-Mobile bill.
Like using a PIGGLY WIGGLY loyalty card at VON's 😱
I believe it is only available to postpaid customers.
I switched to Verizon and I'm loving it. T-Mobile has way too many issues way too often and they don't even bother giving people credits when they mess up. Also I'm paying less for the same plans I have the $90 and their 5g internet with TMobile I was paying around $150 for everything and with Verizon im paying $131 they give you a massive discount on the internet when you have the $90 plan. The one thing that I've noticed is that T-Mobile does have more 5g coverage. But Verizon gets service in areas where TMobile is completely deadzoned and I haven't had any random dropped calls on Verizon like I did with TMobile
They even raised the first responder plans by 10.00 each. I’m good staying with AT&T and visible.
The whole announcement they had was simply to disguise the fact they raised prices. :/
It didn’t go up $10. It went up $5 a line like every other T-Mobile plan type
Yes sir
@Stetson Doggett Bru you don't even tell the truth! The plans was 75 with a 5 autopay discount.
AT&T raised prices way more than $5 a month with no changes. They also raised devices to 36 months instead of t mobile’s 24
thank you for this, after being with V since analog days 1999 Im nervous as hell, I just switched to T because of the 55+ hotspot 50gb & great price on the s24+ I hope to god my international set up will be ok in Ukraine, Moldova, Poland. in any case V has some great international so I stayed even though I had some crazy troubles with bills when I got home, (most folks do) I hope those days are OVER! Ukraine here I come again in April.
Plus you got to remember with the higher tier plans you become priority my service never slows down ever no matter if I use 160 gigs or a hundred it doesn't matter
I just changed my phone plan to Go5G Plus BEFORE watching your video, just based on the description of the plan. I spend a lot of time traveling, especially to Mexico and I need all the extra GBs I can get of hotspot data and regular data. Totally worth it to me. I've run out before and ended up having to purchase a data pass for $50. Don't want to do that again. Besides that the plan gives more data for international visits in most countries.
In my case was only $6 higher in toal for all to move from Magenta Max to Go5GPlus So it was worth it. Just to be able to get the better deals. Comes far out cheaper than just buying the phone.
You get 50 GB of priority data with the essential savers plan The Go 5G bumps that up to 100 then after that the cap is gone
Go5G Plus with 2-4 lines was also my best conclusion so this sounds on point based on my research so far
Especially when you include the military discount and that they include Apple plus and Hulu which is similar to the get more plan
Great point on the Taxes and Fees varying where your located. I live in chicago and 911 is a $5 fee per line. Thats not to account for the other fees. Tmobile including taxes and fees is the biggest reason our family sticks to Tmobile (Plus the amazing international feature).
How much for the cell tower transponder frequencies? How safe is the customer information?
Wish I discovered your channel way long before, just started watching the plans podcast w Dennis and catching up your channel too. that podcast show I love and wish it didn’t go away 😔. Def my main go to about phone plans Stetson! Keep up the great work!!
Thank you, Dave! 🙂
Of course, from the esim episode to the last one, great series! At least now I can catch new content when it’s out. I have ONE plan btw 12 lines lol def won’t be giving that up for these higher priced plans 🤷♂️ thank you again for all you do and research 👍
Amazing job on this video. Thank you for the update. I’m on the military max for 4 lines so I’m definitely starting with it. Thanks 👍
This video helped me make a decision, I'm in the military and I pay too much with ATT for 4 lines even with their military discount. To be honest Coverage for most leading providers is pretty much on par the same in the US.
Great video. Love how in depth you go on the comparison!
Thank you, Cole!
Thanks to Stetson, I am a happy customer of US Mobile since September! Very happy!
I am happy to hear that, Jess! :)
To add on, T-Mobile also offers a range of plans specifically designed for business customers. These plans may include features like unlimited data, international calling, and device management tools tailored for businesses.
Can you please compare military plans?
Thank you very much for the work you do, nowadays everyone talks about mobiles and not plans that is equally important, you help me a lot to choose
Should do a video on Go5G Next
Wanted to mention all the free lines and insider do carry over to the new plan automatically
This is great to know! Just wanted to error on the side of caution in case something happened :)
im currently on the magenta max plan and the 2 changes that are nice and notiiceable in my opinion is the increase in data in canada and mexico and the new in two deal that you can upgrade every 2 years, it is nice but i might just stick with the the max, cause yea the increase of data in international countries are nice but me personally i only go to canada only for a week thats it and the new in 2 is nice but the phones these days arent taking giant leaps every 2 years, like i have the S22 ultra and the 23 ultra is not that different exept for inprovements on the camera, and i dont think the S24 will be a big difference i might just wait till the S25 to upgrade.
I’m also currently on Magenta Max and the price increase would be insane. None of the perks would benefit me at all and the upgrade every 2 years would be cool but the huge price difference makes me not want to do it.
I'm on the max and I can upgrade every two years? Why can't ya upgrade every 2 years?
Hey Stetson Doggett , I have a question. what is the BEST family service plan for 4 lines, and what phones are available to us if we switch carriers?
Here’s my video on the best families plans! It should help you out - ruclips.net/video/0tsgr2wvZZI/видео.html
@@StetsonDoggett thank you 🙏
Thank You! You bring clarity to a confusing pricing scheme.
Great job on the video. You answered all my questions.
Is the "New in Two" the same thing as being on Magenta Max and upgrading your phone every 2 years using it as trade-in (when EIP is paid off) and doing it when the new phone comes out (better deals)? When new phones release the deals are usually: "~$800 off with new line or with device trade-in"
Probably now they'll only have the top deals for Go5G+ customers only and other plans only get half
I assume if I get the plan with the 50 gb hotspot, when the hotspot runs out the speed decrease, or is this one in done til next month rolls around? The video gave alot of info thank you!
they also just increased all of these prices recently
I’ve been with T-Mobile for 5 years on a One plan unlimited 55 plan with 2 lines. I recently bought a new iPhone 15 and didn’t trade in my old 8 plus because I’d have to change plans. Now my son took his phone to Verizon so they are saying I as a single phone user will pay less ($70) for the Go5G 55 plus plan. But right now I’m paying $80 for 2 lines and a watch. The new plan does not sound better and they never told me what my current phone would cost.
Exactly
I do want to let everyone know you do keep any and all promotions if you switch to Go5G Plus. Regardless of how old it is.
Thank you
Great, Did you get that in writing from T-Mobile…?
It is true, you don't lose that promotion like for a example a free line if you switch with go 5g plans.
@@CECE1839 it is actually stated in our C2 documents. Which is basically T-Mobile law for promotions, information, and all. It’s our holy bible to some extent.
I have had Verizon for about 10 years and the coverage and service has always been fine. My bill is about $123 per month for 2 lines @ 10gig (We typically use 5-7gig per month). That is the all-in price.
I was going to switch to T-Mobile due to it being $70 all-in for unlimited. I held off to try to research their coverage (we did not want to have poor coverage, even at a cheaper price) - It appears in our area, the coverage is fine.....Logged on to their site a month ago, and see the magenta 55+ is gone and they are calling it the Go5G 55-plus plan, and it is about $10 more, at $80 per month all-in. (2 lines)
We will likely still switch if Verizon cannot offer a competitive deal, because even with T-Mobile's increase to $80, it would still be about $43 cheaper than we currently pay.
Tbh you can still switch to the magenta 55 but u have to call it in after u activated with that plan the key here is call it in only or over the chat in store is not allowed
In other words sign up at corporate store and then get the go5g plan and then switch to the normal one. But make sure you know it won’t qualify for cerctain promos
@@NesQuiick619 Thanks for that tip!
At&t is actually better than both right now especially promos
I called and actually got an honest salesman. In every situation any change in plans would result in a 10 dollar per month increase or more.
So it more saveing if you have Multiple lines regardless does it help if it has 2 lines?
Thank you for the great Video! I'm currently on One Plan paying $30 per line for 4 lines. I need to add another line which cost $20. Is it worth it to upgrade to any of the newer plans and give up the lower $ per line under the One Plan? Thank you!
Sheesh! I’m on ONE plan and pay so much more for my one line lol
Its interesting that At&T is taking the value crown when they have always been just as or slightly less expensive as Verizon tbh. I used to work at AT&T and hearing people talk about Verizon they don't understand that you're paying a whole lot more and barely getting much back. T-Mobile in my eyes will always be the best carrier because of what they give extra for the service you get. If you live in a place where T-Mobile gets poor service, you should get Verizon because of the coverage in mote rural areas
Yeah the prices that they're charging now, I call "Verizon prices"
Essentially charging that now makes Verizon a better deal.
If Verizon is reliable in your area they are a better deal with the perks you get.
Please do an in-depth explaination of the best plan for people who travel to Europe.
What if I upgrade my device every 3-5 years? Go5G includes taxes and fees while Essentials doesn't. This could end up meaning that Go5G can be potentially cheaper or on par in terms of price, but for more benefits, at least for a single line.
I’m was feelin that Go 5G plus plan being a former Metro by T-Mobile customer I got tired of so many dropped calls so the go 5G plus is gonna be much better. It’s gonna be a little more costly at $95 but I’m willing to pay for that for Better coverage.
Hi, Stetson is there any difference between the data speed of Magneta Max and Go5G Plus?
There is no difference in data speeds between the two plans.
Literally the same plan, a bit more expensive and a bit more hotspot as well as international data. That's all.
Could you point me in the direction of a good comparison of the old Military One plan (not one plus)? The promo me and my family got was bogo on an eligible phone and get half off a plan (I believe adding a cellular line after the third line is $10)
I’m finding it hard to compare them (the new military plans that is)
What is your opinion on the go 5G business plans? For a small business with 6-10 employees
Wait, why is the regular go5g plan terrible? I'm leaning towards that one.😅What am i missing?
You keep your free lines, insider codes, etc… if you move your plan to the new 5G Plus. I work for T-Mobile and wanted to double check bore I changed my plan to the new one. Remember that T-Mobile does taxes and fees included on all current plans besides essentials. AT&T and Verizon do not do this.
Saved money by switching to Stetson's reviews! Thank you!
Are there in any cost savings Hotspot stand alone plans (100 GB or better) available from either carrier?
Not from a main carrier. If cost saving is what you want, then virtual network operator carriers - some of them have a few lower priced plans.
I’ve got 1 line on magenta max & was looking to upgrade to the go5g plus plan & join circledin after that. Should I upgrade or just keep the magenta max before joining circledin? Ty for any advice
If you travel a lot then I would say the plan itself is a good deal. I just switched and I travel a lot. If you are grandfathered jump 1.0 I would stick with it. However jump 2.0 would upgrade.
I love these videos!
Your channel helps create informed consumers!
If you are new customer can you get the magenta plan? Or do i have to get new Go 5G plan?
You can sign up for the Magenta plan online. Only the Go5G plans are offered in store.
I came from Sprint. My Plan looks similar to Magenta w/0 AAA and Netflix 5 lines for $150. If I want to upgrade my iphone X, any recommendations? or should I keep this $30/line looks pretty good? Why is the Go+ states $255 per month which works to $51/line
Please do this for the business plans as well.
at 10:21, how is the device cost for go5g plus 0 dollars? that's not what I'm seeing, was this a limited time promo?
The T-Mobile plan is the MAGENTA MAX 55+ Plan. I believe my plan offers much more for then T-MO’s newest plans, so I’ll stick with the current plan that I have. Great RUclips video!
Really miss John Legere as CEO, seems like this new CEO is trying to follow Verizon plans and confuse everyone with all these weird plan names. Seems like everything is starting to fall apart since Legere stepped down. They should've just converted the Magenta Max plan into the Go5g if they wanted to change the name so badly. Now when I log in my Magenta Max plan says I need to upgrade to Go5g to get the benefits on new phone deals. Great way to screw your 19 year long loyal customer over. Smh.
They took away the phone deal benefits I had on Magenta Max and moved them to Go5g Plus. So they actually didn't give us a new plan, they just took away benefits we had and moved them somewhere to act like it was new so they could charge us more for what we already had.
As a current T-Mobile customer, and a senior citizen, after almost 3 years trying to pay off the bogus "BOGO" plan, including the lies the T-Mobile (previously Sprint store) rep told us re plan costs and the BOGO, T-Mobile customer service said I "shouldn't have trusted THAT store because it was PREVIOUSLY Sprint...just with the T-Mobile name"!!! HELLO?!? And T-Mobile's consistent ongoing disregard for customers' privacy and information security after two ENORMOUS data breaches that they covered up for a long time, then lied about, and still haven't fixed as recently as the breach in late 2022, and that I only learned about when it was exposed on a TV news program, I want to run away from T-Mobile as far and fast as I can. They simply do NOT value CURRENT customers at all; we are just "throwaways" to them; they don't give us ANY breaks.
@smorten50 it's become a really bad company since John Legere left. It's been 4 months and my new bill shows they still haven't fixed my plan back to the original Magenta Max plan that one of there stores changed without my permission. And they haven't been giving me my auto pay discount for my 7 lines either and that's hooked up to my bank account not a credit card so they are really ripping me off the past 4 months.
Just curious....why do you prefer staying on a T-Mobile plan instead of saving money with Mont Mobile which runs on T-Mobile?
Hey there, currently a magenta max user. Will we be forced to adopt one of these newer plans?
Nope! You’re able to keep your Magenta MAX plan for as long as you’d like. The only thing is the Magenta MAX plan may not be eligible for the best device promos in the future, or you may get lower trade in credit for your old phone when you go to upgrade than customers who are on the newer plans.
My current T-Mobile plan. 5 Lines (3 of them with an internet). Monthly cost $108 (taxes included).
Thanks for your tutorial
I'm not eligible for upgrade so can I add a new line, get a deal on new phone, them drop the old line and keep the new line with new phone?
Thanks I’ll have to look but still on a legacy sprint plan from the merger
I'm on the One plus plan with 2 lines and it's exactly what I need.
With the Go 5G+ $800 trade in credit is that per line or total for all lines?
Missed one point, Go5G plus also offers Netflix for single line customers
I’m currently on the magenta 55+ plan and haven’t had any issues at all it’s been 2 years + now but if they try to raise my prices I’ll be switching faster than a flea on a dog
I have TMobile 55+ with 3 lines and I don't get the good trade in values . I believe it's the essential one . I need to keep my cost low but I love the upgrade every 2 years what do you think I should do. Help
Essentials Savings with 4 lines is $100/mo plus taxes and fees. It looks to be a very good value, for as long as it's available.
I have being with Tmobile for 22 years now my 2 line package has being grandfather. ATT prices keep going up and up plus they don't include taxes and all kind of fees
Thank you for including the military pricing! We appreciate it 🙏!
I want to ask if paying jump start is really worth it . I dont really trade phone i rather buy new phone instead of traiding , im paying 18 dollars for that insurance ,in using ny phone for almost 2 yrs now and i dont really have problem so i dont know if paying insurance really worth it
When it comes down to people, getting new phones and wanting the best deals, you will have to go onto the gold plus 5G plan as you will have an overall total cheaper bill rather than sticking to a legacy plan and getting almost half of the promotion or less, and your bill will be more expensive. They do this on purpose to get you to go to the new plants.
In india $3 per month offers 2Gb per day no Speed restrictions on hotspot and streaming and speed is pretty good also offers unlimited 5G
How many lines can you have? I hae a bunch of lines on US Mobile. 8 on Cricket i want to know how many lines i could have on Tmobile. Is the max 5 lines?
Tmobile 5g slow like turtle , used to have sign every where when still 4g but since they upgraded to 5g and I have to upgraded my phone to Samsung s20 to have 5g broadband since then signal keep on buffering alot . when get near to tall building
I'm still on the T-Mobile ONE Plan from years ago (3 lines + 2 data devices, Netflix incl) for $159 with autopay. I'm good.
Your analysis is amazing! How many people on our staff to get this data?
It’s just me! 😅
@@StetsonDoggett The detail and accurate
documentation is so refreshing. Thank you Stetson!
US Mobile’s GSM LTE plans are becoming a better and better value as T-Mobile raises prices. Glad I jumped ship before USM discontinued their Unlimited All plan. $25/line is simply unbeatable as far as I can tell
So if I have 2 lines and I’m on essential right now and wanna upgrade every 2 years go5g plus is the way to go?
Looks like it
This is so confusing. For 2 lines I pay $90 a month on essentials. My iphone is paid off but I’m planning on getting the iPhone 15 when it comes out. Should I switch to go56 plus when I upgrade?
can i put in my zipcode and find out what cell carrier to use?
Currently get $25/ back with autopay, but I think they reduced that with the go5g plans?
Keep raising those T-Mobile prices because it keeps Mint Mobile prices low. Thanks Ryan
The T-Mobile go5g video streaming is 2.5mbps I tried the HD feature but the speed doesn’t change to 5mbps
I’m so upset. I got the forever upgrade when I bought my iPhone 13 but apparently it was phased out last December. So much for for “forever”. Now o have to switch plans for my trade in to be worth anything.
Wait, really?! Oh my gosh, I am so sorry to hear that! I genuinely thought it was still ongoing!
