Metro by T-Mobile's 5 GB 5G plan is a solid no-contract plan for people who only use a little bit of cellular data. There are two variations of this plan, one with 2 GB and one with 5 GB. Although these plans share the same name, there are some key differences and similarities you should be aware of.
Both plans let you use your cellular data for mobile hotspot at 4G LTE speeds. They both also include Data Maximizer, a feature that will help you optimize your data usage and make it last longer, which is especially useful on plans that don't have unlimited cellular data. Scam ID, a feature that screens telemarketers and other potential spammers, is automatically set up on your phone once you sign up for this plan.
If you sign up for the 5 GB plan, you'll be able to enjoy unlimited music streaming thanks to Music Unlimited. This feature lets you stream music from top sites like Pandora, iHeartRadio, and Spotify without counting against your monthly cellular data allotment. You're also eligible for the multi-line discount if your family signs up for the 5 GB plan!
