Dial in the Savings With T-Mobile's 5-Year Price Guarantee
If you're looking for ways to tighten your purse strings these days—and who isn't—T-Mobile has got just the thing.
The carrier's new and plans basically replace and build on T-Mobile's previous . At first glance, they include many of the same popular perks as the older plans, such as unlimited talk, text, and premium data, free Netflix Standard with ads and Apple TV+, and on most domestic flights on Alaska, American, Delta, and United.
So, what's new about these two plans? For starters, both offer even more high-speed hotpot data and a five-year price guarantee* to help you mind your budget. Existing and new customers can also save some pretty substantial money on the , compared to older T-Mobile plans and similar offerings from competitive mobile carriers.
Here's how the new Experience plans break down and stack up.
T-Mobile's plan (starting at $90 per month) is similar to the Go5G Plus plan in that it offers free Netflix Standard with ads, free Apple TV+, and 5G device upgrades every two years. What's new is that Experience More bumps up the high-speed hotspot data to 60 GB, with unlimited 600kbps after that.
Experience More also offers unlimited text in Mexico and Canada, plus 15GB of high-speed data while you're there, which is handy for travelers. You'll also nab 5GB of high-speed data to use in over 215 countries across the world.
If you burn through your hotspot data, (starting at $105 per month) is T-Mobile's most data-heavy plan. It includes all the perks of the Experience More plan, but you'll get a shiny new 5G smartphone every year instead of every two years; plus 250GB of high-speed hotspot data, which is over four times the amount of the Experience More plan. You'll also score 30GB of high-speed data in Canada and Mexico and 15GB of international high-speed data, a perk if you're planning a far-flung summer vacay.
Experience Beyond sweetens the deal even more by throwing in free Hulu with ads, in addition to the plan's free Netflix Standard with ads and free Apple TV+.
Starting July 2025, the Beyond plan will also include free service, which is pretty cool. The new service will allow you to use your phone in places where you get zero bars.
If you don't need unlimited high-speed data, T-Mobile's (starting at $55 per month) is also sticking around. This pared-down yet value-packed plan includes unlimited talk and text, 50GB of high-speed data, and an unlimited 3G hotspot. Note that the streaming add-ons cost extra. Device upgrades and T-Mobile's five-year price lock also aren't available with this plan.
For a plan with one line, T-Mobile claims the Experience More and Experience Beyond packages will cost per month than similar unlimited data plans from competitors. For families with three lines, that savings potentially bumps up to
T-Mobile's five-year price guarantee also outperforms other big carriers, as most competitors offer only a three-year price guarantee, or no price lock at all.
The new Experience plans are a no-brainer if you're looking to and spend less dough. You'll get unlimited talk, text, and data on the nation's , more high-speed hotspot data, free entertainment apps, international data for your summer trips, and a guaranteed five-year price lock. You can also potentially save up to at least 20% when compared to the competitor's plans.
If you can save this big on your mobile bill over the next five years, that's not chump change.
*Guarantees monthly price of on-network talk, text, & 5G data for accounts activating on an Experience plan.

Murkowski: Trump administration funding freeze could result in ‘closing schools'
Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) fears the Trump administration's multibillion-dollar education funding freeze could cause schools in her state to close as districts struggle to keep employees without the money. The administration originally froze a total of $6 billion in funding to schools, affecting after-school and summer programs, along with classes for adult and English learners. Last week, the president released about $1 billion that was aimed at after-school programs, but $5 billion is still held up. 'Many of our school districts have already made really hard decisions about closing schools,' Murkowski told ABC News. 'Both in Fairbanks and Anchorage, we've seen layoffs,' she continued. 'If your literacy skills are weak, if you're working on your English skills, I mean, these are all things that are keeping people out of the workforce at a time when we're trying to get people into it,' Murkowski added. 'So I am very worried.' She was one of nine Republicans to sign a letter to the Office of Management and Budget last week demanding the funding be released and rejecting the administration's claim the money is going toward 'woke' programs. The letter prompted the office to release the about $1 billion in funding for after-school and summer programming, prompting a sigh of relief for parents. But the rest of the money is still in limbo, with no timeline on when it will be given to schools. 'I'd like to see some of the other programs released, but, you know, we haven't heard one way or the other,' Sen. Shelley Moore Capito ( who led the Republican letter, told ABC. While Murkowski is hesitant to say the money is cut, she stresses the funding needs to be released before the school year begins. 'I don't want to call it cuts yet, because my hope is that they're just unpaused and that they are going to materialize,' Murkowski told ABC News. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

AT&T to Pay Out Huge Data Breach Settlement, and You Might Be Eligible for Up to $5K
The 2024 hack of AT&T servers was one of the five biggest data breaches of the year. AT&T/CNET Two sizable data breaches in 2019 and 2024 exposed the personal information of AT&T customers, but now, the company is set to resolve the matter with a massive settlement pay out -- and you don't even have to still be a member to get in on it. On Friday, June 20, US District Judge Ada Brown granted preliminary approval to the terms of a proposed settlement from AT&T that would resolve two lawsuits related to the data breaches. The current settlement would see AT&T pay $177 million to customers adversely affected by at least one of the two data breaches. The settlement will prioritize larger payments to customers who suffered damages that are "fairly traceable" to the data leaks. It will also provide bigger payments to those affected by the larger of the two leaks, which began in 2019. While the company is working toward a settlement, it has continued to deny that it was "responsible for these criminal acts." For all the details we have about the settlement right now, keep reading, and for more info about other recent settlements, find out how to claim Apple's Siri privacy settlement and see if you're eligible for 23andMe's privacy breach settlement. What happened with these AT&T data breaches? AT&T confirmed the two data breaches last year, announcing an investigation into the first in March before confirming it in May and confirming the second in July. The first of the confirmed breaches began in 2019. The company revealed that about 7.6 million current and 65.4 million former account holders had their data exposed to hackers, including names, Social Security numbers and dates of birth. The company began investigating the situation last year after it reported that customer data had appeared on the dark web. The second breach began in April of 2024, when a hacker broke into AT&T cloud storage provider Snowflake and accessed 2022 call and text records for almost all of the company's US customers, about 109 million in all. The company stressed that no names were attached to the stolen data. Two individuals were arrested in connection with the breach. Both of these incidents sparked a wave of class action lawsuits alleging corporate neglect on the part of AT&T in failing to sufficiently protect its customers. Who is eligible to file a claim for the AT&T data breach settlement? As of now, we know that the settlement will pay out to any current or former AT&T customer whose data was accessed in one of these data breaches, with higher payments reserved for those who can provide documented proof that they suffered damages directly resulting from their data being stolen. If you're eligible, you should receive a notice about it, either by email or a physical letter in the mail, sometime in the coming months. The company expects that the claims process will begin on Aug. 4, 2025. How much will the AT&T data breach payments be? You'll have to "reasonably" prove damages caused by these data breaches to be eligible for the highest and most prioritized payouts. For the 2019 breach, those claimants can receive up to $5,000. For the Snowflake breach in 2024, the max payout will be $2,500. It's not clear at this time how the company might be handling customers who've been affected by both breaches. AT&T will focus on making those payments first, and whatever's left of the $177 million settlement total will be disbursed to anyone whose data was accessed, even without proof of damages. Because these payouts depend on how many people get the higher amounts first, we can't say definitively how much they will be. When could I get paid from the AT&T data breach settlement? AT&T expects that payments will start to go out sometime in early 2026. Exact dates aren't available but the recent court order approving the settlement lists a notification schedule of Aug. 4, to Oct. 17, 2025. The deadline for submitting a claim is currently set at Nov. 18, 2025. The final approval of the settlement needs to be given at a Dec. 3, 2025, court hearing for payments to begin.

Thinking of switching to T-Mobile? Its trial program now gives you less time but more features
Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR T-Mobile has reduced its free eSIM 'Network Pass' trial period from 90 days to 30 days and renamed it 'T-Mobile Trial.' T-Mobile Trial now includes benefits like up to 250GB of high-speed tethering data, limited international usage, and in-flight Wi-Fi. To start the trial without ditching your current carrier, download the T-Life app on an unlocked eSIM-compatible phone. T-Mobile added more postpaid subscribers than any other carrier in the last quarter, and it's clear that people are eager to give the carrier a shot for their mobile network needs. However, it isn't always practical to port your number and entire service to the carrier without knowing how it will perform in your area. That's why network trials exist, and both Verizon and T-Mobile offer free eSIMs for trials. T-Mobile is now changing some of its free trial terms, which you should know if you plan to try the carrier out. T-Mobile's free eSIM trial program is being renamed T-Mobile Trial, replacing the previous T-Mobile Network Pass branding. As Reddit user ReconstructedTin points out, the trial is now down to 30 days from the previous 90 days, giving potential customers significantly less time to try the service. While one can argue that 30 days are enough to try out the network at home, work, and beyond, having the extra days on hand was a nice perk. The Redditor doesn't mention this, but previously, users could also get Magenta Status benefits for the trial duration. They would also get T-Mobile Tuesdays offers. In-flight Wi-Fi benefits were also available, though I could not locate the number of flights on which this was available. Note that the Network Pass was limited to once per user. It's not all gloom, though. T-Mobile Trial is bringing significantly more benefits under its wings. Potential customers can now try out various T-Mobile services, like: T-Satellite. Up to 5GB of high-speed data is available in Canada and Mexico, then unlimited at up to 256kbps. However, this isn't available for extended international use. Up to 250GB of high-speed data available for tethering, then unlimited at 3G speeds. In-flight Wi-Fi on up to four flights with select airlines. To try out T-Mobile via T-Mobile Trial, you need an unlocked eSIM-compatible phone. On it, download and install the T-Life app, and tap the 'Try T-Mobile' banner that pops up. You can try out the carrier without giving up your existing carrier and phone number. If you like the service, you can sign up as a customer, else you can just let the trial run its course.
