I've been on T-Mobile prepaid since at least 2010. I get 10GB of data off contract for $40/mo. If I use above that it gets throttled, but I never do.
My price still hasn't gone up. I am certainly waiting for it.
I buy a new handset every few years. Most times I get one from the EU that has the bands I need for local service.
That seems like a pretty bad deal actually, you can probably find a better 4g or even 5g plan in the US for that.
Prepaid companies in Canada (who generally have worse pricing than the US because all the cell companies have agreements with each other) have 20-40gb/month for that price (depending on the limited time sales), but not unlimited w/ throttling like you have.
I'm not sure what you mean RE 4g/5g. I just replaced my phone with a 5g handset and get 5g coverage with it. I had 4g with my last handset.
Are you saying the 20-40GB plans have overage charges? I'd rather be throttled if that is the case.
I have unlimited data with 40gb hotspot on tmobile. Not grandfathered into anything either. I believe it’s the max magenta plan
