Recently, T-Mobile announced a rebrand of their prepaid subsidiary MetroPCS, renaming it Metro by T-Mobile. Today, they've released details on new plans to go along with it.
The two new unlimited plans, a $50 one with a 5GB hotspot and Google One subscription, and a $60 one with a 15GB hotspot and Google One and Amazon Prime subscriptions, accompany the company's preexisting 2 and 10GB plans.
Metro by T-Mobile Unlimited Plans
| Plan | Hotspot | Subscriptions | 1 Line | 2 Lines | 4 Lines |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $50 Unlimited Data Plan | 5GB | Google One | $50 * | $80 | $140 |
| $60 Unlimited Data Plan | 15GB | Google One, Amazon prime | $60* | $90 | $150 |
* upfront fee of $20
As with parent company T-Mobile, Metro's plan prices are "all-in," meaning taxes and fees are included. Plans can be purchased online or at one of Metro by T-Mobile's 10,000+ stores (man, that's a lot of signs to change they're going to have to change). Incidentally, actor Keegan-Michael Key was the first unlimited Metro by T-Mobile customer:

It used to be that Boost was the only prepaid carrier that included hotspot allowances with their unlimited plans. Metro by T-Mobile has now joined this exclusive club with their two new offerings.

The advantage the Metro by T-Mobile plans have over Boost's are the inclusion of cloud storage service Google One and (with the $60 plan) Amazon Prime, not to mention the backing of excellent network coverage (Boost runs on the inferior Sprint network, whereas Metro runs on T-Mobile).
Why Go with Metro by T-Mobile
There are a lot of great reasons to jump aboard Metro by T-Mobile for your next cell phone plan, including:
- Stable network (T-Mobile)
- High data deprioritization thresholds of 35GB
- Taxes and fees included
- Tons of stores--you're never far from in-person help or sales
A new reason to jump aboard Metro by T-Mobile is the company's promised rollout of 5G by 2019. The carrier offered 5G demos for customers at the Grand Central Station unveiling that Keegan Michael Key spoke at.
