T-Mobile's Experience Plans Lock in Big Savings in Uncertain Times
There's no question about it: Economic uncertainty has American consumers looking for ways to cut costs without cutting corners. According to a new CNET survey, 60% of consumers said they were adjusting their budgets in anticipation of tariff-related price hikes, and 38% said they feel pressured to make purchases earlier than planned. Smartphones are at the top of the list of purchases that are figuring in consumers' new economic worries. Nearly half of Americans have already purchased or are planning to purchase a new phone early to sidestep possible future cost increases. With higher prices continuing to affect everyday life, locking in long-term savings is more important than ever. That's where T-Mobile's new Experience plans come in. Experience plans offer savings of at least 20% compared to the other big mobile carriers, and let you lock them in for half a decade. And T-Mobile's Family Freedom makes switching a no-brainer even with a cloudy economic forecast: They'll pay off up to four of your family's old phones and e, and give you a new iPhone 16 Pro for free with each line. Big family savings, with streaming and more If you're trying to make smart decisions for the future, T-Mobile's Experience plans are for you. Experience More, T-Mobile's most popular option, gets your family three lines for just $140 per month when you enroll in AutoPay. Compared to the competition, that's up to $50 less every month, savings that really add up over the course of a year. Experience More also includes Apple TV+, Netflix, full-flight texting and Wi-Fi on most domestic U.S. flights, 60GB of high-speed data to use at T-Mobile Wi-Fi hotspots and unlimited texting in hundreds of destinations worldwide. Plus, you can get a new iPhone 16 Pro for free with each line, and upgrade your phones every two years to get the latest models. Bob Al-Greene / CNET BrandX Use T-Mobile's Savings Calculator to customize your plan and compare it with other carriers. There's also the Experience Beyond plan, which adds unlimited high-speed mobile hotspot data and satellite service and lets you add your watches and tablets to your plan for $5 per line. Your streaming package also includes Hulu, and you can upgrade to a new phone every year rather than every two. T-Mobile helps you switch and locks in your rate If you already have a phone plan, switching can seem like one more expensive worry. T-Mobile's Family Freedom pays off up to four phones from your old carrier at (up to $800 per line) when you switch to an Experience plan. Whether you're trading in an old phone or not, you can get a new iPhone 16 Pro for free with each line on your new T-Mobile plan. Once you're on board, you won't have to worry about changing your phone plan again for years. With T-Mobile's 5-year Price Lock Guarantee, you can make the jump knowing you've locked in your savings far into the future. Feel like a VIP, even in tough times One way to cut costs on your phone plan is with annoying tradeoffs like data caps, slower speeds and no phone upgrades. But with T-Mobile, you can save while still getting an award-winning customer experience and VIP perks. All T-Mobile customers get Magenta Status, which offers exclusive perks on travel, dining and concert tickets. From free in-flight Wi-Fi to VIP access at events, your T-Mobile Experience plan comes loaded with benefits that add value far beyond what you spend on your monthly bill. T-Mobile gives you the peace of mind of knowing you're getting a great price for great service, and that it won't be changing anytime soon.

I dumped my old carrier for T-Mobile — how I saved a small fortune
New York Post may be compensated and/or receive an affiliate commission if you click or buy through our links. Featured pricing is subject to change. Look, I didn't mean to become a character in a tale about cell phone plans. Nobody dreams of that. But when your old provider starts sneakily inching up your bill like it's playing a game of financial Jenga, you start looking for a better way. I wasn't looking for magic. I was looking for value. And weirdly enough, I found it at T-Mobile. Here's what did it: T-Mobile launched something called the Experience Plans, and not only do they cost less than what I was paying at my other provider (even with three lines and streaming), they guarantee your monthly price won't go up for five years. Five. That's longer than most relationships in my group chat. No bait-and-switches. No tiny-font 'adjustments.' Just solid pricing that makes you feel like you're not being scammed by a faceless telecom deity in a tower. T-Mobile Advertisement Add in the Family Freedom initiative, which literally paid off our phones — up to $800 per line — and suddenly switching carriers felt like a power move. It wasn't just me; I brought the whole family. Three lines, done. T-Mobile helped me break up with my old carrier like a well-paid divorce lawyer and handed me a pink welcome mat with perks like travel discounts, streaming, and concert deals. You know, the fun stuff that makes you feel like a person and not just a number in a billing system. What are T-Mobile's Experience Plans Let's talk specifics. There are two new Experience Plans: Experience More Experience Beyond Both plans include T-Mobile's signature 5G coverage, robust network access, and that sweet, sweet five-year price guarantee. This guarantee locks in the monthly price for your talk, text, and data — no surprise hikes mid-contract. It's built for people who want value and stability (read: everyone). On top of that, these plans come loaded with perks. We're talking streaming deals, VIP concert access, travel discounts, dining offers, the kinds of extras that add up fast. Whether you're solo or bringing the chaos of three kids and two tablets, there's an Experience Plan that fits. How much did I save? Let me put it this way: If you're with AT&T or Verizon and you've got three lines? You're probably overpaying. T-Mobile says families can save up to 20% compared to the other guys — and yes, I triple-checked with their Savings Calculator. With T-Mobile's promo (your third line is free via monthly bill credits), our total cost dropped significantly. And because taxes and fees are included, there were no grim surprises on the first bill. T-Mobile Bonus: If you're stuck in a contract, Family Freedom means T-Mobile will pay up to $800 per line (four lines max) to help you break free. That's up to $3,200 total. Freedom doesn't always come cheap, but it comes darn near close if you switch to T-Mobile.

Lock it in: T-Mobile's 5-Year price guarantee offers long-term savings
If you've ever opened your phone bill and audibly gasped, you're not alone. Monthly plan hikes, surprise fees, and mysterious 'adjustments' have become a weirdly normal part of being a wireless customer. But T-Mobile's new Experience Plans are bringing some serious relief and peace of mind to the chaos. With the launch of its 5-Year Price Guarantee, T-Mobile is making a simple promise: The price you sign up for today is the price you'll still be paying five years from now.1 Wait, They Actually Mean It? Yep. Every one of T-Mobile's new Experience More and Experience Beyond plans locks in your monthly rate for a full five years. That covers your on-network talk, text, and 5G data. No bait-and-switch, no 'limited-time promo' shenanigans. Just predictable pricing in a world where that feels like a luxury. Whether you're a solo user or managing a whole family plan, this guarantee means no more bracing for a rate hike every year. And for families in particular, the savings stack up fast. With three lines, T-Mobile says you can save 20% compared to similar plans from AT&T and Verizon — and that includes optional streaming services. Better Value, Not Just Lower Prices The price guarantee is just the headline. Dig deeper into the Experience Plans and you'll find a lot more to like. Perks on travel, dining, concerts, and even streaming. It's a reminder that 'value' isn't just about a lower number on your bill. It's about everything that number gets you. T-Mobile is also leading in the one area that actually matters when you're stuck in a crowd trying to stream the game: network performance. According to the latest data, T-Mobile's 5G network isn't just fast, it's the fastest. That means better mobile gaming, smoother streaming, and fewer 'Hello? Can you hear me now?' moments. No Gimmicks, Just Good Sense This isn't a one-off discount. It's a rare thing in the wireless world: stability. The 5-Year Price Guarantee feels designed for people who want to stop thinking about their phone bill entirely. No complicated bundling required. No fine print that quietly changes in month 13. Just one less monthly bill to stress about. Plus, if you're currently under contract with another carrier, T-Mobile will help you make the switch. With Family Freedom, they'll pay off your device (up to $800 per line, four lines max). And once you're in? The savings keep coming. Bottom Line: Predictability Is the New Power Move There are plenty of cheap plans out there, and plenty of carriers promising the moon. But very few are saying, 'Hey, we'll keep this deal the same for the next five years.' That's what makes T-Mobile's Experience Plans stand out. So if you're ready for some financial calm amid the chaos, and you want a network that won't leave you buffering during the big moments, this is the time to switch! 1 – Guarantees monthly price of on-network talk, text, & 5G data for accounts activating on an Experience plan. Savings with 3rd line free via mo. bill credits vs. comparable available plans plus optional streaming; plan features and taxes & fees may vary. Credits stop if you cancel any lines. Qualifying new account & credit req'd. See exclusions & details at
