T-Mobile $60 unlimited 4g (3g hotspot) plan for smartphones

[Naio]

T-Mobile has some new plans that might be pretty exciting for us folks.

The $60 Essentials plan gives you 4g unlimited data that doesn't slow down until you get to 50 gigabytes. You can use your phone as a hotspot on this plan, but then it is only at 3g. You can buy up to 10 gigabytes a month of 4G as an add-on, though.

They also have a $70 plan, which allows you to buy 20 gigs of hotspot 4G. These plans can be used in anything that has a SIM card slot, for example a tablet, if for some reason you don't want them for your phone. T-Mobile doesn't have the best network for camping, but it's pretty good.

T-Mobile devices also accept an AT&T SIM, so when you are going to be outside of coverage you can get an AT&T card and put it in.

No, I don't work for them or anything. I just thought it was a good deal and people here might want to know.

Hi Naio,

Thanks for the information.

So the hotspot on the cell phone is always 3G speed?

Yes, unless you buy the 10 or 20 gigs of 4G. I didn't ask the rate, but on my current plan I think it's about 75 cents a gig per month.

That's a good price.....but, we did the switch to T-Mobil and the service was terrible or almost non-existent in lots of places we travel and camp....

Switched backed to Verizon-much better coverage.
