A total of three different plans make up T-Mobile’s 55+ offerings, each with a larger number of perks and benefits as the price goes up. They all promise no-cost 5G access, include Scam Shield protections, and won’t limit talk, text, or data usage. The lowest-cost option is the Essentials Choice 55 plan, which has the fewest benefits (and will throttle your data usage to give priority to higher tiered accounts); it does only cost $45 every month or $30 per line per month with two to four lines), though.
Beyond the basics is the mid-tier Go5G Plus 55 plan, which drops the data throttling and ups the streaming video quality as well as allows for phone upgrades after two years — in other words, users can trade in their current phone to help cover the cost to upgrade to a newer one after two years have passed. Of course, this also means it costs a bit more, coming in at $70 per month (or $50 per line for two or more).
After that, there’s the top-tier Go5G Next 55 plan at $80 per month ($60 for two or more lines), and it includes pretty much all of the same stuff as the Go5G Plus 55 tier. The biggest difference is that the two-year upgrade option has been reduced to six months, so users can trade in their current phone toward a new model after less than a year if they want.
