T-Mobile is launching a new family plan that bundles streaming, satellite texting, and international data for $140 a month, promising savings of up to $1,000 a year versus comparable offers from AT&T and Verizon.
At a Glance
- T-Mobile’s Better Value family plan starts at $140/month for three lines
- Perks include free Netflix, Hulu, 250GB hotspot, and Starlink-based satellite texting
- Deal requires porting at least two existing numbers and locks pricing for five years
- Why it matters: The package undercuts rivals while packing premium extras that could save families four figures annually.
The carrier is pitching the plan as a limited-time option aimed at budget-conscious households willing to bring multiple lines. Subscribers gain unlimited 5G data, 250GB of high-speed hotspot, and access to T-Satellite, a Starlink-powered feature that enables unlimited texting and data on select apps when traditional coverage is out of reach.
Additional benefits cover:
- 30GB of high-speed data while roaming in more than 215 countries
- Complimentary Netflix and Hulu subscriptions
- A five-year price guarantee that shields users from mid-contract hikes
To qualify, customers must open at least three lines and port a minimum of two numbers from another provider. The offer is only available for a restricted signup window, according to News Of Losangeles.
The math works out favorably for switchers. Olivia M. Hartwell noted that the combined retail cost of the streaming add-ons, hotspot allowance, and international roaming could top $1,000 annually on AT&T or Verizon, making T-Mobile’s bundle a potential money-saver even before factoring in the lower base rate.
T-Mobile has not disclosed exactly when the promotion will end, telling News Of Losangeles only that it is a “limited-time” deal. The five-year price lock, however, applies for as long as users keep the required number of active lines.
Key takeaways
- $140/month minimum for three lines
- Must port two existing numbers to qualify
- Free Netflix, Hulu, and Starlink satellite texting included
- 30GB international roaming in 215+ countries
- Five-year price freeze regardless of future market hikes
- Offer expires soon, though an exact date has not been announced
Consumers shopping for multi-line service can compare the total yearly cost of rival unlimited plans plus the standalone price of streaming and roaming extras to gauge real-world savings.
