America’s 5G coverage leader debuts industry’s
best (by a LOT) standalone hotspot plans at a time when people need
more affordable, effective connectivity for remote work and
learning.
T-Mobile widens its 5G lead, upgrading
thousands of new cell sites with Ultra Capacity 5G this month — a
record-breaking pace.
Foot firmly on gas. Just one year ago, T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS)
launched nationwide 5G. Today, the Un-carrier is demonstrating
— again — just how powerful its industry-leading 5G
network is by launching the industry’s BEST standalone hotspot
plans for your connected devices, including an absolutely WILD deal
for 100GB of mobile internet data for just $50. T-Mobile is also
launching the company’s first 5G mobile hotspot with the ability to
connect up to 30 devices — so customers can take those
Wi-Fi-rivaling Ultra Capacity speeds on the go for connected
devices. And the Un-carrier is shifting into overdrive to make
those ultra-fast speeds available in more places at an
unprecedented pace, lighting up thousands of cell sites with
mid-band Ultra Capacity 5G this month and widening its 5G lead.

These hotspot plans are made possible by T-Mobile’s
capacity-rich 5G network, which delivers the perfect combo of
coverage AND speed. T-Mobile’s 5G network is America’s largest with
Extended Range (low-band) 5G that covers 270 million people over
1.4 million square miles — 2x more square miles than AT&T and
3.5x more than Verizon. And with Sprint now part of T-Mobile, the
Un-carrier is lighting up mid-band Ultra Capacity 5G at a
never-been-done-before pace to bring this super-fast 5G experience
— that can bring download speeds around 300 Mbps and peak speeds up
to 1 Gbps — to even more customers. One mid-band Ultra Capacity 5G
site can cover tens of thousands of times the area that one Verizon
Ultra Wideband 5G site can cover, giving T-Mobile customers the
Wi-Fi rivaling 5G speeds in waaaaay more places.
“Today’s news is another example of what you can do when you’re
working to build the most powerful, highest capacity 5G network in
the nation … you can take all that speed with you on your devices
at unheard of prices. And it couldn’t come at a better time for
millions in need of reliable, affordable connectivity,” said Mike
Sievert, President and CEO at T-Mobile. “We already cover more of
the country with 5G than AT&T and Verizon combined — now we’re
adding super-fast 5G on top at an absolutely blistering pace. Every
month, we’re adding more Ultra Capacity 5G than Verizon has added
in the last two years with Ultra Wideband. And we’re just getting
started.”
Industry’s Best Hotspot Data Plans
The Un-carrier’s unmatched 5G network also means T-Mobile can
deliver the industry’s BEST prices for standalone hotspot data to
keep your devices connected. Starting December 13, T-Mobile
customers can get 5GB of mobile internet data, including Ultra
Capacity 5G speeds, for just $20 a month (with autopay), saving $30
over Verizon for that much data. Or get 10GB for $30, 30GB for $40
… or an incredible 100GB for just $50 a month (with autopay) for a
limited time. That’s 20x more data — on 3.5x more 5G network — than
you’d get at Verizon for the same price.
With 50 million kids in remote learning and many working from
home, people are relying even more today on their connected devices
to work, learn and play. With 100GB, that’s enough help keep the
whole family connected on up to 320 hours of video calls each
month! And this awesome deal isn’t just for T-Mobile and Metro by
T-Mobile, it’s even available to Verizon and AT&T customers who
just want the best industry price on a hotspot data plan.
T-Mobile’s First 5G Hotspot
To make good use of all that data, T-Mobile today launched its
first 5G hotspot, the Inseego 5G MiFi® M2000, available now in
T-Mobile stores and online. The Inseego 5G MiFi M2000 features 5G
speeds — on both the Un-carrier’s Extended Range and super-fast
Ultra Capacity 5G network — plus 4G LTE when needed. It’s got the
latest in Wi-Fi tech with 40% faster speeds than previous
generations and the ability to connect up to 30 Wi-Fi enabled
devices at once, along with the latest in enterprise-grade security
and a battery that lasts more than 24 hours while in use1.
Right now you can get the Inseego 5G MiFi for 50% off with 24
monthly bill credits when you add a line, making it only $168 full
retail price or $7 per month with the equipment installment program
(EIP) — a great solution for anyone who needs additional bandwidth
at home for work, learning and entertainment. Plus, T-Mobile for
Business customers needing enterprise-grade security and reliable
connections can equip employees with 5G speeds in one location or
on the go, wherever your business takes you. The 5G MiFi is a
secure, mobile Wi-Fi solution that can connect a team of co-workers
or as a guest network. Additionally, IT organizations can easily
manage their 5G MiFi deployments throughout their corporate
networks with the Inseego Connect™ cloud management solution.
