Description
T-Mobile Better Value gives you unlimited priority data on T-Mobile's network for $140 a month for 3 lines (it requires at least 3). It comes with 4K video and 250GB of hotspot data, then 600Kbps. It also includes free international texting to over 210 countries. Plus, you get unlimited talk, text, and 30GB of high-speed data in Canada and Mexico. You can add an unlimited tablet line for $5 a month, and a smartwatch line is included.
Taxes and fees are extra, there's a $5.49 monthly carrier fee, and there's a $35 activation fee.
For unlimited data on the same T-Mobile network for less, our top pick is Mint Mobile Unlimited Annual: $30 a month when you pay for a year upfront, with a 20GB hotspot. If you'd rather pay month to month, Metro Unlimited $30 BYOD is $30 a month with taxes included.
Consider T-Mobile Better Value if: you want service directly from T-Mobile and need a big hotspot.
