T-Mobile Magenta Plan Details

 T-Mobile's new go 5G plans are under scrutiny to determine if they are worth the switch for existing customers. In this video, we explore the differences between the new go 5G plans and the existing ones and compare them to Verizon and AT&T options.

The three new plans announced by T-Mobile are essential savings, go 5G, and go 5G plus. These plans join T-Mobile's previous offerings, including Essentials, Magenta, and Magenta Max. Essential is priced at $60 per month and includes unlimited de-prioritized data, 600 kilobit per second hotspot data, 480p video streaming, free international texting, and 128 kilobit per second data in Canada and Mexico. Essential Savings Plan is similar but comes at a $10 lower cost per month, with additional savings for multiple lines.

Moving up to the mid-tier plans, Magenta is priced at $70 per month and offers 100 gigabytes of premium data, 5 gigabytes of hotspot data, 480p video streaming, international texting, and 5 gigabytes of high-speed data in Canada and Mexico. Go 5G increases the price to $75 per month but triples the hotspot data to 15 gigabytes, increases video streaming quality to 1080p, and provides 5 extra gigabytes of data in Canada and Mexico. 

For the top-tier plans, Magenta Max costs $85 per month, offering unlimited premium data, 40 gigabytes of hotspot data, 4K video streaming, international texting, 5 gigabytes of high-speed data in Canada and Mexico, and 5 gigabytes of high-speed international data in over 215 supported destinations. Go 5G Plus keeps most of these features but increases the hotspot data to 50 gigabytes, Canada, and Mexico data to 15 gigabytes, with a price of $90 per month.

Multi-line pricing is also compared, and it is noted that the third line free promotion for Legacy plans has been removed, making the new plans appear cheaper at first glance. However, for those eligible, upgrading to the new go 5G plus plan may be worth it due to its New in Two program, allowing device upgrades every two years with a trade-in.

Comparing T-Mobile's new plans to AT&T and Verizon, it is found that for single-line users, go 5G plus falls in the middle of the pack, while go 5G is more expensive. AT&T's plans generally offer better overall value. However, for multi-line users, go 5G plus becomes more competitive, and for three lines and above, it becomes the most affordable option.

The video concludes that for most current T-Mobile customers, upgrading to the new plans may not be worth it, especially if they already have good deals on existing plans. However, for those who use a lot of hotspot data or data in Canada and Mexico or are interested in device upgrades every two years, go 5G plus may be a good option. Ultimately, coverage should be a key consideration before choosing a plan.
