3 articles · Updated · Business Insider · Jul 16

Summary

  • $50 Essentials, $85 Experience More and $100 Experience Beyond define T-Mobile’s main phone-plan hotspot options, with hotspot allowances ranging from none to 60GB and unlimited.
  • T-Mobile also sells dedicated hotspot hardware for users who do not want to tether through a phone, with devices priced from $90 to $200 and some offered free with qualifying lines.
  • Phone hotspots suit lighter, occasional use because they are built into existing plans, while dedicated hotspots better serve heavier users needing stronger battery life, WiFi performance and more device connections.
  • T-Mobile says lighter users may get by on 5GB a month, while remote workers or multi-user households may need 100GB plans or the Experience Beyond tier.
