Maybe I read the Walmart Page wrong, but I found the lines starting at $45 each. Of course t-mobile always charges lines charges and tax. The metro by t-mobile is $25 a line for unlimited. i was paying $40 per line and switched over to the $25 per line and see no difference. I guess it's according to how much money a person wants to spend. i get the same service with metro as the t-mobile customer gets, same network and owned by t-mobile.
the offer is an "in-store" offer at Walmart - the linked page is so you can see the plan details (Essentials Saver $50).

With Tmobile closing stores and moving everything to the tlife app it's like having an MVNO anyways.

If the Total BYOD Max plan is not the slickest plan available today, find another plan that includes all of this for $20/month:

Premium/Unlimited 5G on Verizon's network with ZERO speed throttling (no deprioritization games)

$20/mo rate is guaranteed for 5 years

Includes data roaming in 140+ countries

Unlimited hotspot (5 Mbps)

100GB of cloud storage

One Western Union money transfer per month with 0 fees

I'll wait. 😅
Again, the posting for the offer doesn't say it is the best plan out there. It has its own value-added benefits for those who prefer doing business face-to-face inside of retail.

T-Mo also has a $15. prepaid plan with 5GB, but don't know if you get the Mexico/Canada calling too. I do like T-mo and Metro's Mexico service as they partner with Telcel and coverage is excellent. Total partners with Movistar and they are nowhere near the level of coverage or speeds of Telcel. At&t has a strong network in Mexico, but check a coverage map to make certain your destination is covered.

If you consider doom scrolling and media consumption a life.

Sure 1-878-205-0088 or chat/email. They're on social media too like Reddit.

Unless you're 98 years old, nobody goes to a cell phone store. Everyone wants you to use their online AI chat (which is what you'll get with T-Mobile).
not true at all. Go visit a store and see people of all ages there either paying a prepaid bill or trying to fix a problem.

Taxes and fees vary by state but the rule of thumb is to add 20% to the total plan cost to safely estimate the charges - 20% of $25 is $5
if it makes any difference, T-Mo prepaid has all taxes included. I have a line on their $15. prepaid plan and taxes, fees are all bundled.

They are lying about the data priority. Based on the language this plan is deprioritized lower than the "experience plans" even during the 50GB, then lower priority after. So essentially this is the same tier as any other MVNO besides Google Fi.
If you care about data priority, you're better off with t-mobile prepaid 2 for 75. It includes some hotspot but no international data. Daily 5% off prepaid cards at target, so around $71 including taxes and fees. I will switch to that after my Google Fi 50% off byod deal is over.

T-Mobile has routinely broken their price guarantees over the last couple of years, so their guarantee is largely meaningless.
This. I would trust a realtor selling beachfront land in Nebraska before trusting T Mobile again.

T-Mobile undergoes several types of independent and internal audits, ranging from network performance evaluations to data security and regulatory compliance checks.

If a publically traded company was "lying" about consumer related network activity and services not only would they fail the audit, they would be fined and even sued by the federal government, their shareholders or in a consumer class action.

The network prioritizaiton in downtown New York would differ from the prioritization in Omaha Nebraska. Carriers spend millions building out reliable systems that can load and offload users in order to maintain the most reliable speeds and services in order to compete with one another.

Includes: Physical store support, 5G Standalone, 5G UC, 5G UC Calling(VoNR), 60 day unlock policy.

Visible: Does not include postpaid roaming, does not have 5G Standalone, Does not have physical stores for support, Virtual support only(Email or chat), 1 year unlock policy.

Metro: Supports everything T-Mobile direct does but has limited Corporate stores and more Authorized dealers who can be less helpful, 1 year unlock policy.

Google Fi: Terrible support, 256k data throttle after premium data used(worse than every T-Mobile MVNO).
