Our takeEditorial$20/mo regular 3-month rate is fair for 15 GB on T-Mobile. The $15 intro is new customers only; $35/mo standard is the rate to plan around long-term.

“$20/mo for 15 GB and hotspot on T-Mobile's network. For a predictable month, that's a clean deal.”
“Standard rate is $35/mo after the intro runs out. Mint buries that number under the new-customer teaser.”
