If you're satisfied with your current phone or skilled at hunting down great deals on unlocked devices, T-Mobile offers a budget-friendly prepaid plan with all essential services. Currently, their Metro BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) plan provides unlimited talk, text, and 5G data for $30 during the first month, then just $25/month afterward with auto-pay—taxes and fees included. This price remains locked for five years, though you can cancel anytime since it's prepaid.

Keeping your existing phone can lead to significant savings with T-Mobile's Metro BYOD plan. While Metro costs just $25 monthly, T-Mobile's cheapest Unlimited plan runs $40/month and includes a free 5G phone (plus taxes). Opting for the $50/month tier allows phone upgrades every year—but adds $240-$360 annually to your bill. Staying with your device for three years could save you over $1,000.
The Metro BYOD plan delivers unlimited talk, text, and data on T-Mobile's leading nationwide 5G network. Note that speeds may decrease after exceeding 35GB monthly. Additional benefits include Scam Shield for spam call protection and T-Mobile Tuesdays for weekly freebies and discounts.
