If you’re in the market for a new home internet setup but don’t want to deal with long commitments and expensive rates, T-Mobile’s 5G Home Internet is worth a look. Plans are currently starting at only $30 a month with a voice line and AutoPay, plus taxes and fees and it gets better. New customers also get a “Month on Us”* and up to $200 back on a virtual prepaid Mastercard.**

Which T-Mobile 5G Home Internet Plan Is Right for You?

You have three options to choose from and they all come with unlimited data, the 5-Year Price Guarantee (exclusions like taxes & fees apply), a $20 discount when you bundle and a month of internet service on T-Mobile. Prices below include a voice line and AutoPay.

Rely: $30/month + $100 virtual prepaid Mastercard**
Fast speeds and T-Mobile’s high-performance 5G Gateway. It’s a good fit for your everyday basics like browsing, streaming and video calls.

Amplified: $40/month + $100 virtual prepaid Mastercard**
For $10 more, Amplified steps you up to T-Mobile’s fastest speeds and their high-performance premium WiFi 7 Gateway. It’s built for busier households with lots of devices online at once, like larger families or homes with plenty of connected smart devices.

All-In: $50/month + $200 virtual prepaid Mastercard**
Get all the benefits of Amplified, plus a complimentary gateway upgrade after three years. It also includes Hulu (With Ads), Paramount+ Essential, Advanced Cyber Security and 24/7 live tech support. That’s the pick if your household streams a lot.

Go From Box to Browsing in 15 Minutes or Less

The setup is easy. Plug in the gateway, open the T-Life app and follow the prompts. The app also helps you find the best spot for the gateway in your home, and this matters because you’re using a wireless signal versus a hardwired connection. One Slickdeals member reports getting close to 500 Mbps down and 300 Mbps up on the All-In plan and says the numbers depend on where the gateway sits. Other factors that can impact performance are your proximity to a tower and even the building materials of your home. Another Slickdeals member echoed this sentiment, saying “I’m in year six with TMo 5G Home Internet and it’s been great here. And I work in IT and often work from home. But as I tell customers, YMMV because I don’t know where you’re putting the modem, the construction of your home and your relative location to towers.” T-Mobile suggests placing your gateway near a window, ideally on a windowsill.

Who T-Mobile 5G Home Internet Is For

If you’re a current T-Mobile customer and looking for new internet service, definitely consider it since you’ll be eligible for the largest discount. It’s also great for anyone who’s done with contracts, with no annual commitment and no equipment rental fee on your bill. Renters and frequent movers will like that there’s no install appointment and no cables to run. And if you like to budget ahead, the 5-Year Price Guarantee (exclusions like taxes & fees apply) means no surprise price hikes on your internet.

When Another Option Might Fit Better

5G Home Internet is wireless, so it won’t be the right fit for every home. If you already have fiber, need a wired connection for something like competitive gaming, or watch live TV on a service that verifies your location by IP address, compare your options first. Not sure? Every plan comes with a 15-day money-back guarantee***, so you can try it at home.

How to Get the Deal

Getting started is easy. First, enter your address to check availability, then choose the Rely, Amplified or All-In plan. Add a voice line and AutoPay to get the lowest monthly price, and once your gateway is activated, your “Month on Us”* will arrive as a bill credit. Just be sure to register for your virtual prepaid Mastercard within 30 days of activating your new line.
