T-Mobile Providing Unlimited SmartPhone Data for the Next 60 Days
T-Mobile announced yesterday, in response to the COVID-19 situation, it will be providing unlimited smartphone data to all customers for the next 60 days.
Specifics of the plan include:
- Starting now – ALL current T-Mobile and Metro by T-Mobile customers who have plans with data will have unlimited smartphone data for the next 60 days (excluding roaming).
- Providing T-Mobile and Metro by T-Mobile customers an additional 20GB of mobile hotspot / tethering service for the next 60 days – coming soon.
- Working with our Lifeline partners to provide customers extra free data up to 5GB of data per month over the next two months.
- Increasing the data allowance for free to schools and students using our EmpowerED digital learning programs to ensure each participant has access to at least 20GB of data per month for the next 60 days.
Additionally, T-Mobile will be:
- Offering free international calling for ALL current T-Mobile and Metro by T-Mobile customers to Level 3 impacted countries.
- Supporting the FCC’s Keep Americans Connected Pledgefocused on ensuring residential and small business customers with financial impacts do not lose service.
This is a great move by T-Mobile at a time when more and more Americans will be at home, some in need of additional Internet access as a result of school closures or work-from-home directives.

Let’s hope we see other wireless providers step up to the plate as life-as-we-used-to-know-it changes over the coming weeks.
Editorial Note
And as an editorial note – it’s actions like these during difficult times that should be remembered by consumers when normalcy returns. I hope all large companies take notice.
And consumers, for small and medium-sized businesses in your communities that are going to have a very difficult time in the coming weeks, do your best to support them in any way possible…their actual existence may depend on it.
