Grab your pitchforks, T-Mobile users, as the “Un-carrier’s” cheapest plan is gone

Farewell, sweet $10 Connect plan!

These were T-Mobile’s most affordable plans last week.

The $15, $25, and $35 prepaid options with 5, 8, and 12GB data respectively, as well as unlimited talk and text across the board, are all totally unchanged from five days ago, mind you, which is naturally making a few Redditors quite unhappy.

Interestingly, several people are saying that the $10 Connect plan is still available through “assisted channels” and brick and mortar stores, which essentially means that you only need to ask T-Mobile nicely for a new line of ultra-affordable service with a little bit of data and a few minutes and texts on it.

That’s probably a temporary situation set to change before long, and what’s perhaps even worse is that we expect all “Connect by T-Mobile” plans to be retired in the relatively near future.

So what are your best low-cost options now?

Simply put, these prepaid plans are truly unrivaled in today’s wireless landscape in terms of their value for money, which explains why T-Mobile is discontinuing one of them… and burying the rest. 

These are T-Mobile’s most affordable plans today.

What’s interesting is that the “5G for Good” initiative originally debuted with a single $15 Connect plan, which has since been upgraded to included 5 gigs of high-speed data instead of just 2. The $25 option released in 2022 with 6GB data was similarly bumped up to 8 gigs, while the $35 plan is unchanged to this day.

If you’re in the market for a new prepaid plan or line, you should definitely hurry and at least try to join the Connect program while you can, as T-Mobile is more heavily advertising its “standard” prepaid options setting you back $40 a month with 10GB data and at least $50 for “unlimited” service (with various caps and asterisks).
