The conditions of the deal/s may have changed since the initial publishing of this post.
Starting on October 17th, new and existing T-Mobile subscribers will be able to connect their smartwatches, tablets, and laptops with the Go5G Next and Go5G Business Next plans for just $5/month per device. According to T-Mobile, on Verizon's Ultimate Unlimited plan wearable devices start at a price 50% higher ($7.50/month) and tablets/laptops are twice the price ($10/month). At AT&T, wearables on the Unlimited Premium plan start at $10.99 per month while tablets and laptops are an additional $20.99 per month to start.
Tablets and laptops connected to Go5G Next and Go5G Business Next for $5/month will get up to 30GB of high-speed data each month with connection speed dropping to 600 kbps data for the rest of the month once the high-speed data is consumed. Smartwatches get unlimited talk, text, and data speeds greater than 512Kbps.
Here's some big news. T-Mobile will sell cellular-enabled smartwatches, tablets, and laptops at the lower Wi-Fi-only price (up to $200 difference). That will result in some nice savings. This will also include a select group of laptops not sold at T-Mobile. If one of these laptops is certified to work on T-Mobile's network, connecting it to the Go5G Next will result in the carrier sending you up to $200 back.
"People are using more connected devices than ever — but connecting them is complex and costly. That’s why we’re making Go5G Next even better by providing seamless and affordable connectivity solutions for all your devices… with a plan truly built for the connected era and powered by the nation’s leading 5G network. This is just another way we continue to give customers more value — the top reason AT&T and Verizon customers switch to T-Mobile — because at T-Mobile, you get industry-leading value on the nation’s most-awarded 5G network... there’s no compromising."-Vinayak Hegde, Consumer Chief Marketing Officer, T-Mobile
