They call it T-Mobile Connection.

This is a plan from T-Mobile that includes unlimited 2GB high-speed phone calls, texts, and smartphone data for $ 15 / month.

The plan was launched on March 25. free service from Sprint for one year was ending and I insist on cutting costs on my phone, I switched to T-Mobile’s new plan within days of its availability.

There was no turning back and no regrets.

It’s a monthly plan, no contract required. If I wanted to switch to another plan, I wouldn’t have to buy back a contract.

Surprisingly, there was no “activation fee”. No other costs as well. With taxes, the actual cost is $ 16.38 / month.

I brought my own phone to the plane, a Pixel 2XL. The folks at the T-Mobile store struggled to get my ported number on the Pixel 2XL to work properly, apparently the internal SIM card kept activating. It took them about an hour and a half, but they finally managed to fix the problem (not sure what they did to get it started).

We also switched my daughter’s phone to this plane. She was sure she couldn’t live with the 2GB data limit. As we are still in the midst of social distancing from the corona virus and are at home most of the time, this issue has not been tested. . However, a $ 25 plan is available with a 5GB limit if that becomes an issue in the future.

T-Mobile Connect is a “prepaid” plan, there was no credit check. T-Mobile makes this a “5G” plan, but the use of a 5G phone is not necessary.

And that’s about it. It’s a simple plan with 2GB of data (with a half-GB / month upgrade every year, you stick to the service, up to 5 years) for $ 15. There were no surprises.

If you’re not too data-hungry when you’re away from home, this is a good deal!
