T-Mobile’s best plans keeps getting better. Customers can now easily add their connected devices — tablets, smartwatches and laptops — for just $5/month per device on Go5G Next and Go5G Business Next

BELLEVUE, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Today, T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) announced its most value-packed plans are getting even better. Starting Oct. 17, new and existing customers can connect their devices — smartwatches, tablets and even laptops — for just $5/month per device with Go5G Next and Go5G Business Next. Gone are the days of choosing between the complicated, costly process that requires a $10 to $30 rate plan for each device or resorting to rolling the dice with insecure, public Wi-Fi or begging for Wi-Fi passwords. T-Mobile’s network delivers a highly-secure 5G connection with speeds as fast as Wi-Fi… and now, the Un-carrier is making it easier and more affordable to stay connected. With Go5G Next and Go5G Business Next, T-Mobile customers now get:

See how T-Mobile stacks up against the Carriers (Graphic: Business Wire)

• The best price to connect. Each device — smartwatch, tablet and laptop — is just $5 a month. Comparatively, AT&T and Verizon charge double to quadruple that just to connect tablets and laptops.
• Cellular device upgrades on Us. No longer do customers have to pay up to $200 more just to get a cellular-enabled device vs. a Wi-Fi version. T-Mobile is now covering the difference for customers so that cellular-enabled smartwatches, tablets and even select laptops are the same price as Wi-Fi only versions. And that savings extends to select laptops not sold at T-Mobile. If it’s certified to work on T-Mobile’s network, customers can get up to $200 back when connecting to America’s leading 5G network, the largest, fastest and most awarded in the country.
• Connection for the unconnected. The majority of the 300 million laptops being used in the U.S. today are not cellular-connected — and only 5% of laptop shipments are expected to be so by 20261. So, T-Mobile is making it easy for customers to turn laptops into 5G-connected laptops with the exclusive-to-T-Mobile TCL LINKPORT IK511, which customers can snag for under $50, for a limited time. This new device works with most USB-C devices, so just plug it in and get connected.
• Next-level protection. To protect those connected devices (and smartphones too!), T-Mobile’s device protection plan, Protection 360™, is getting an upgrade with unlimited claims for accidental damages, including unlimited $0 screen repairs. With most Americans2 (73%) having cracked their front screen and 58% dropping their phone more than twice a week, these upgraded protections are device-savers … all at no extra cost … and that’s all on top of existing benefits such as loss and theft coverage.
• An easy way to add devices with T Life. Customers can now add their $5 connected devices to their Go5G Next plans, manage their account, access all their perks including T-Mobile Tuesdays deals and freebies, Magenta Status and more in the T Life app. It’s a one-stop shop for all things T-Mobile — with over 35 million downloads to date.

Today’s news comes on top of the already industry-leading value and benefits the Un-carrier includes with its Go5G plans, like access to the best streaming bundle in wireless, device upgrade flexibility, industry-leading travel benefits, VIP experiences and exclusive benefits with brands like Hilton and Hertz and way more. T-Mobile customers can get Magenta Status from day one just for being customers.

“People are using more connected devices than ever — but connecting them is complex and costly,” said Vinayak Hegde, Consumer Chief Marketing Officer, T-Mobile. “That’s why we’re making Go5G Next even better by providing seamless and affordable connectivity solutions for all your devices… with a plan truly built for the connected era and powered by the nation’s leading 5G network. This is just another way we continue to give customers more value — the top reason AT&T and Verizon customers switch to T-Mobile — because at T-Mobile, you get industry-leading value on the nation’s most-awarded 5G network... there’s no compromising.”

A New, (More) Connected World with Go5G Next

T-Mobile customers can add laptops, tablets or smartwatches with Go5G Next and Go5G Business Next for just $5/device a month. Tablets and laptops come packed with up to 30GB of high-speed data each month, followed by unlimited 600 kbps data for the remainder of the month. Smartwatches get unlimited talk, text and >512kbps data. And, they’re covered when traveling beyond the reach of T-Mobile’s leading 5G network around the world. The Go5G Next plans provide a simple and affordable solution that:

• Just works. No more hunting for Wi-Fi, struggling to tether, juggling hotspots or trying to guess the password in a random café. Or when going on a walk, simply leave the smartphone behind and stick with the smartwatch. The best part is that it “just works” whether at home, at work or when traveling in 215+ countries and destinations worldwide.
• Saves money. A family of three on Go5G Next with a smartwatch and a tablet will save more than $50 every single month ($600 a year!) vs. comparable plans at AT&T and Verizon.
• Improves security. T-Mobile’s industry-leading network provides a highly secure connection. No more risking data and security with the inconsistent and often lackluster security of public Wi-Fi. A whopping 4 in 10 consumers have been compromised over public Wi-Fi, with airports and restaurants/cafés being the highest risk areas for attacks.

Major Savings on Connected Devices

• $200 off Samsung. For a limited time, get $200 off the latest Samsung Galaxy smartwatch or tablet when adding it to Go5G Next and Go5G Business Next for just $5/month. Eligible smartwatches include the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra, Watch 7, Watch FE and more; eligible tablets include Samsung Galaxy S10+, Tab A9+, Tab S9 FE 5G and more. All starting October 17.
• Less than $50 for a secure internet device. Exclusively at T-Mobile, get half off the new TCL LINKPORT when lighting it up for $5/month on Go5G Next and Go5G Business Next. The TCL LINKPORT is a small, portable device that provides secure high-speed data to most USB-C devices, ideal for on-the-go connectivity and it will be available in the coming weeks.

Go5G Next: T-Mobile’s Best Plan

Go5G Next doesn’t just give customers the freedom to connect their devices simply and cost-effectively on America’s leading 5G network, the largest, fastest and most awarded in the country. T-Mobile’s most value-packed plan also includes the flexibility to upgrade every year, guarantees that new and existing customers always get the same great phone deals, includes Apple TV+ on Us, Hulu on Us, Netflix on Us, free in-flight Wi-Fi on top U.S. airlines, free high-speed data in 215+ countries and destinations, Scam Shield protection, freebies and deals on T-Mobile Tuesdays… and more.

Not to mention the VIP treatment T-Mobile customers can get like one-of-a-kind deals and experiences with brands they love including Hilton’s 22 leading hotel brands worldwide, Hertz and Dollar rental car perks, discount concert tickets and more that add up to $1,500 in value every year. T-Mobile customers can get Magenta Status just for being customers from day one. Seriously. There’s no catch. Just love.

Go5G Business Next: T-Mobile's Best Plan for Small Businesses

On top of the benefits of Go5G Next, business customers get double the high-speed hotspot data (100GB), premium business travel perks, Microsoft 365 on Us and Scam Shield Premium. Plus, an added layer of security with Secure Wi-Fi, a set-and-forget app that automatically helps protect customers’ data and enhances their smartphone experience when connected to public Wi-Fi.
