T Mobile Plan Price: Retail, Deals & Price History
One-line price
$50 – $85/mo
A single line on T-Mobile's postpaid unlimited plans costs $50 – $85/mo with AutoPay for Essentials Saver through Experience More, according to CNET.
T-Mobile sells its postpaid unlimited service in tiers. The cheaper plans give you the basics, and the higher ones add perks such as streaming services and larger hotspot allowances. Price also depends on how many lines you put on the account, since the multi-line totals are much lower for each person than a single line.
T-Mobile changed its plan names in August 2026. Its postpaid plans became "2.0" versions when it introduced new device financing options, and CNET reports that the 2.0 plans carry the same features and pricing as the earlier versions. The figures on this page come from CNET, updated Oct 14, 2026, and PhoneCompass, because T-Mobile's own plan pages load their prices with scripts and could not be read directly.

How much do T-Mobile plans cost for one line?
Price for 1 line (with AutoPay)
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Essentials Saver (2.0), 1 line | $50/mo |
| Essentials (2.0), 1 line | $60/mo |
| Experience More (2.0), 1 line | $85/mo |
| Experience Beyond, 1 line | $100/mo |

Essentials Saver is the lowest-priced postpaid plan listed, at $50/mo. Essentials costs $60/mo, which CNET notes gets you the same core features for more money on a single line. Experience More costs $85/mo, and Experience Beyond costs $100/mo.
All of these prices include the AutoPay discount and exclude taxes and fees.
What does T-Mobile cost for two or more lines?
Multi-line monthly total (with AutoPay)
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Essentials Saver, 2 lines total | $80/mo |
| Essentials Saver, 3 lines total (maximum) | $100/mo |
| Essentials, 2 lines total | $90/mo |
| Essentials, 4 lines total | $100/mo |
| Experience More, 4 lines total | $170/mo |
Source: CNET: Best T-Mobile plans
These are totals for the whole account, not the price for each line. Essentials Saver is $80/mo for two lines and $100/mo for three, which is the maximum number of lines it allows. Essentials is $90/mo for two lines and $100/mo for four. Experience More is $170/mo for four.
The tiers add up differently as you add lines. Essentials Saver is the best deal for one or two lines, according to CNET. Essentials becomes the better value at three or more, because it supports more lines and can include a free-line deal that lowers the total.
AutoPay, activation and other fees
Fees and discounts
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| AutoPay discount per line | $5/mo |
| Activation fee per line | $35 |
The AutoPay discount is $5/mo for each line, so skipping it raises the monthly bill. PhoneCompass lists the activation fee at $35 for each line. Taxes and regulatory fees are not in the advertised price and vary by location and plan. CNET notes that taxes and fees are not included in the plan prices it lists.
Which T-Mobile plan fits you?
- Essentials Saver suits one or two people who want the lowest bill and do not need perks or higher hotspot speeds.
- Essentials fits larger households, because it supports more lines and can use the third-line deal. Its features are similar to Saver.
- Experience More adds the streaming perks, a larger hotspot allowance and a five-year price guarantee for new customers, according to CNET.
- Experience Beyond is the top tier, with unlimited hotspot data and satellite service included, per CNET.
Whether the extras are worth the higher bill depends on how much you use them. A simple check is to list the perks you would actually use, such as the streaming services, hotspot data or travel coverage, and compare that list with the gap between two plans on your own line count. If you do not stream the bundled services or use a hotspot, the cheaper plans cover the basics.
Taking an existing phone to T-Mobile
Bringing your own phone usually keeps the monthly plan price the same, since the plan prices above do not include a device payment. If you finance a new phone, that payment is billed separately from the plan, and deals tied to a trade-in or a new line are separate offers with their own terms. Ask the store or read the checkout page to see how a promotion is applied before you commit.
Discounts that can lower the price
T-Mobile offers discounted plans for customers who are 55 or older, and CNET reports a work perk that can take a percentage off Experience More or Experience Beyond. Military and first-responder discounts apply to some plans, according to PhoneCompass. Eligibility rules change, so check T-Mobile's pages for current terms.
