How T-Mobile looks at on features

AT&T Sprint T-Mobile Verizon

Unlimited 2G data Yes

Unlimited video streaming Yes

Unlimited music streaming Yes

Rollover data Yes

Unlimited 2G data: T-Mobile doesn't charge you on the off chance that you go over your data bundle. Instead, the transporter knocks you down to 2G speeds for the rest of your charging cycle. Although that spares you costly overage charges, it means putting up with slower speeds. For instance, transferring 30 photos would take over 20 minutes, instead of not exactly a minute with 4G speeds. Sprint likewise offers unlimited 2G data, but AT&T and Verizon don't. Customers with AT&T and Verizon will pay $15 per gigabyte of data utilized past their arrangement. Both transporters round up, so on the off chance that you go over by just a couple of megabytes, you'll still pay for 1GB in overage.

Video streaming: Thanks to Binge On, T-Mobile customers can stream as much video as they want without plunging into their data bundle. The catch: Streaming is unlimited just from participating administrations, for example, Netflix, Hulu, HBO Go and ESPN. Orgy On is incorporated on traditional and prepaid Simple Choice arrangements with 6GB or more. Verizon additionally offers unlimited streaming, but just by means of its Go90 application.

Music streaming: All T-Mobile Simple Choice arrangements accompany Music Freedom, which permits customers to stream music from many applications without touching their data allotment. Partner administrations incorporate Pandora, Spotify and Google Music, among others. Music Freedom is additionally included on most T-Mobile prepaid arrangements. This is a tremendous benefit for standard streamers, since streaming a hour of music every day for a month can go through as much as 2GB of data. No other real bearer offers unlimited music streaming.

Rollover data: T-Mobile's 6GB and 10GB arrangements accompany Data Stash, which lets customers keep unused data. You can stash up to 20GB of data, for up to 12 months. AT&T likewise offers rollover data, but it lapses after 30 days. Verizon and Sprint don't offer rollover data.

The bottom line

T-Mobile gives you a lot of significant worth for your cash. Think about this: As a 6GB arrangement with T-Mobile is $65 every month. The same arrangement with Verizon is $80, and 5GB with AT&T is $75. Sprint competes on cost, but no bearer touches T-Mobile on features. The frail point? Its network. Although T-Mobile has made progress around there, it still has some work to do to match the network strength of Verizon or AT&T on a national level.
