I pay $100 for two lines, unlimited everything. My employee also covers up to $90 so I technically only pay $10/mo.
Got a tip for us?

same here, except my plan is pre-netflix, but i get $10 kickback on each line if we don't go over 2g. when they came out with the new plans, i said nothankyou...
If you take this plan don’t take it because you want unlimited 5G
The reason is mmWave 5G at this point in time is hard to find and you cannot get it through a wall or window
So basically if you like the uncapped part and unlimited part it’s a reasonable plan

You are confused. Unlimited data doesn't mean that the data has to be offered at the fastest speed 24/7. Unlimited means you get unlimited data without being charged for going over any monthly data imposed limit.
You are correct.
But the word "unlimited" means "without limits"
And yet they are limiting your speed after a certain threshold. That's the problem people are having with this.
Perhaps they need to come up with another word.
It's silly to keep saying "there are no limits but actually there are limits"
The context in which the term is used by the carriers is correct. The problem is MR people expect their definition of the word to be applied out of proper context.
Unlimited simply means no data cap. It has never meant unlimited speed, which is entirely different than unlimited data.
I know what the carriers are referring to.
But as I said in my edit: It's silly to keep saying "there are no limits but actually there are limits"
If the carriers are worried that people interpret the word wrong... maybe they should pick a new word.
It looks like the new plan may be unlimited with speed as well, although that still won't stop many MR people from complaining.
T-Mobile is not encouraging me to ditch my Sprint Unlimited Freedom plan.
It should be interesting to see what happens next year when they're pushing everyone into the same situation. They've already been encouraging me to swap my SIM card for a T-Mobile SIM but locally, T-Mobile has been very weak, and I'd rather not get pulled into that until the very last moment.

Visible has no data limit on hotspot. The speed on hotspot, however, is capped at 5mbps. That's fast enough for me. I'm also on Party Pay. My monthly payment is $25. Happy camper here.
Still insanely pricey for one line. This is $57 per line with three lines. Price still unknown for just one line. Based off the current plans, probably $100 a month.
Maybe it's just me, but I don't understand the prices of these plans. I live in Italy and I pay 9.99 euros/month for unlimited calls and messages and 70GB on LTE and 5G (5G is limited only to some cities but LTE is widespread).

New ways to advertise a fake price...
I'm sick of companies advertising the lowest price possible that's before taxes and always met with stipulations, otherwise, the item is 2x the price.
- $40 a month per line.... But it's only if you have 4 lines on your contract (in fine print). 1 line is $85/month each.
- The price of the phone is $599! ... But that's after you trade in your iPhone 12. Otherwise, it's $1,299.00.

Verizon will continue to charge $30/month more than everyone else, and charge you a $10 fee is you remove autopay from your account.
If you have just one line, it’s an extra $15 per month. Unless you live in a big crowded city, it’s not worth it. I go over my Verizon “cap” every month and I’ve never once been throttled, they only do that where network congestion is high.
I was wondering the same thing. I guess you can always manually edit your MAC to make it look like it’s an iPhone if they check that.
Oh wow magenta plan cool
T-Mobile today introduced a new Magenta MAX smartphone plan that offers truly unlimited LTE and 5G data in the United States, meaning that speeds are not throttled after using a certain amount of data per month.
Magenta MAX will be available starting February 24 for both consumers and small businesses, with pricing starting at $57 per month ($47 per month for a limited time) with three lines of service and AutoPay automated billing enabled, including taxes and fees. T-Mobile informed MacRumors that pricing for one individual line is $85 per month with AutoPay enabled, including taxes and fees, equal to its existing Magenta Plus plan.
The plan's only limitation appears to be Mobile Hotspot tethering to other devices, with high-speed data capped at 40GB per month for this. After this limit is reached, T-Mobile says speeds will be capped to the equivalent of 3G.
Magenta MAX also includes unlimited talk and text in the United States, a free Netflix Basic subscription for individuals and a free Netflix Standard subscription for families, 5GB of high-speed data when roaming in Canada and Mexico, unlimited Wi-Fi on flights with Gogo Inflight Internet, access to T-Mobile Tuesdays freebies, and more.
T-Mobile is also introducing a new standard Magenta smartphone plan priced at $47 per month ($40 per month for a limited time) with more limitations, including high-speed data capped at 100GB per month, high-speed Mobile Hotspot capped at 5GB per month, streaming video limited to 480p, and no free Netflix Basic for individuals.
T-Mobile says existing Magenta and Magenta Plus customers can easily upgrade and keep their current device or line promotions.

On T-Mobile I have few bars but a good data connection everywhere I go. 5G isn't that fast but I don't live in an area with 4Gbps whatever wideband crap that goes out if you aren't facing the right direction.
