In this part of the video, the speaker evaluates T-Mobile’s new Go 5G plans and whether current customers should upgrade. On April 20, 2023, T-Mobile introduced three new plans: Essential Savings, Go 5G, and Go 5G Plus, alongside existing plans Essentials, Magenta, and Magenta Max. Each plan’s features and pricing are compared. The Essentials plan costs $60 per month, includes unlimited de-prioritized data, and has add-ons for international calling and data. The new Essential Savings plan offers the same features at $10 less per month, with varying savings for multiple lines.
For mid-tier plans, Magenta costs $70 per month, offering 100GB premium data, 5GB Hotspot data, international texting and data, and additional perks like Netflix Basic, AAA membership, and Apple TV+. The Go 5G plan, priced higher, enhances several features: it triples Hotspot data, improves video streaming quality, increases data in Canada and Mexico, but reduces unlimited slow data speed. The differences in pricing and features are explored in detail.

In this part of the video, the focus is on the pricing and features of T-Mobile’s top-tier plans: Magenta Max and Go 5G Plus. Magenta Max, priced at $85 per month, offers benefits like unlimited premium data, 40GB of hotspot data, 4K video streaming, international texting, 5GB high-speed data in Canada and Mexico, and various perks including Netflix. Go 5G Plus, at $90 per month, increases hotspot data to 50GB and high-speed data in Canada and Mexico to 15GB, making it T-Mobile’s most expensive plan. The video also discusses price increases for multi-line plans, hidden by the removal of a longstanding third-line free promotion. For military, veteran, first responder, and 55+ discounts, prices have increased by $5 per line. Notably, the 55+ discount is the most cost-effective for one or two lines but becomes more expensive for four or five lines due to ineligibility for the third-line free promotion.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses T-Mobile’s pricing and plans, emphasizing that while sticking with existing plans is generally advisable, there are specific cases where upgrading makes sense. Firstly, the military, veteran, and first responder discounts offer attractive pricing, especially for three to five lines. Secondly, the new Go 5G Plus plan includes a “New in Two” program, providing up to $830 towards a new device every two years, similar to the “Forever Upgrade” program introduced for iPhones in 2021. This could benefit users needing frequent upgrades, particularly for Android devices. Lastly, a detailed chart compares current T-Mobile plans, potentially guiding decisions on whether to switch or stay with existing plans.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses various financing options and trade-in values for upgrading from an iPhone 11 to an iPhone 14 with different plans. They highlight three main points: assuming trade-in via Apple’s program, considering deals for current T-Mobile customers, and using current prices listed on T-Mobile’s website. The speaker compares the cost across different plans, pointing out that T-Mobile’s Magenta Plan is the cheapest, while prepaid plans save the most money annually. For multiple lines, the Go 5G Plus plan becomes more affordable due to promotions like the third line free deal and trade-in credits, making it a valuable option for families. They also compare T-Mobile’s plans with AT&T and Verizon, noting that AT&T offers the best overall value, especially for single lines, due to generous trade-in credits on all its unlimited plans.

In this segment, the video discusses T-Mobile’s various plans, emphasizing the company’s “third line free” promotion that makes their plans more affordable. The Go 5G Plus plan is highlighted as a top-tier option and good value, especially when compared to AT&T’s and Verizon’s more expensive offerings. The importance of considering taxes and coverage before choosing a plan is stressed, noting that T-Mobile includes taxes and fees in their pricing. Despite recent price increases from T-Mobile, the Go 5G Plus plan is still deemed a reasonable value, particularly for families. The segment concludes with a criticism of the regular Go 5G plan and a recommendation to either choose the Go 5G Plus or avoid T-Mobile altogether.
