FAQ — $40 Unlimited for 1 line

How much is $40 Unlimited for 1 line?

$40 Unlimited runs $40.00/mo total for 1 line. The pricing breakdown above shows totals across all line tiers Metro by T-Mobile offers.

Is a single line on $40 Unlimited a good deal?

$40 Unlimited at 1 line costs more per line than 2+ line tiers because the multi-line discount doesn't apply. If you're a single user, compare against MVNOs (Mint, Visible, Cricket) which often beat single-line carrier pricing for similar coverage.

Can I add more lines to my $40 Unlimited plan later?

Yes — Metro by T-Mobile lets you add lines mid-plan with prorated billing. The per-line price drops automatically as you cross line-count thresholds (typically at 2, 3, and 4 lines). Removing lines is also straightforward with no ETF on no-contract plans.

Does $40 Unlimited include hotspot for 1 line?

Hotspot allowances on $40 Unlimited are typically per-line (each line gets the published hotspot allowance). Check the plan-detail page for the exact GB; most premium unlimited plans include 25–60 GB per line at high speeds, dropping to slow speeds afterward.

What's the activation cost for 1 line on $40 Unlimited?

Metro by T-Mobile typically charges a one-time activation fee per line ($25–$45/line is common). The pricing breakdown above does not include activation; budget for it on your first bill.

The editor weighs in — flanked by the optimist on her shoulder and the cynic on the other.
UP
Our takeEditorial
$40 for 10 GB taxes-in with a 5-year price lock -- what's locked in is the question: solid pricing commitment, middling data allotment.

The Optimist
“No AutoPay hoops, all-in price, and Metro won't raise it for five years. That's a real commitment.”
— the angel on your shoulder
The Cynic
“A 5-year price guarantee on a 10 GB plan is brave when unlimited costs $10 more from the same carrier.”
