Enter Go5G Next!
Remember when T-Mo used to advertise “ONE” plan to rule them all… only to break said plan into several different price tiers with different perks and benefits? Well, now we have three Go5G-branded options alone (with annoyingly similar names), as well as an entry point very simply and clearly dubbed Essentials.
Fortunately, there’s a neat little chart that explains and illustrates all the distinctions between these four current “value-packed” plans, although we imagine it’s still going to be pretty easy to get the Go5G, Go5G Plus, and Go5G Next features and limitations mixed up by both new customers and existing ones looking for a change for some reason.
Of course, if that reason happens to be to obtain more flexibility over your smartphone upgrading process, the newly introduced Go5G Next option is definitely right for you. This is pretty much identical to the “old” Go5G Plus option in every single aspect apart from one small but potentially crucial detail.
Those are certainly not the most difficult requirements to meet, but the cost of your new Go5G Next plan might be a bit hard to swallow, at $100 for your first line, $70 for your second one, $10 (!!!) for a third, and $225 for a fourth.
T-Mobile vs the competition
In a separate chart, the “Un-carrier” is doing everyone a favor by comparing the prices and benefits of its freshly unveiled top-tier plan with Verizon’s Unlimited Plus and AT&T’s Unlimited Premium options.
Is there a reason to snub the competition’s elite unlimited offers and go with T-Mo? Absolutely. But there’s also very clearly a key reason why this new plan was not announced at a glamorous dedicated “Un-carrier” event, getting instead a super-low-key unveiling via a simple press release on a random Monday near the end of the summer.
