Our Opinion

This is SaveOnPhone's recommendation for budget-minded families that want four unlimited lines and have reliable local T-Mobile coverage. We recommend Metro's $40 Period plan where T-Mobile coverage is reliable locally because its ongoing tax-inclusive pricing reaches $100 total for four unlimited lines, with a 35GB premium-data threshold and no hotspot allowance.

The recorded package includes unlimited 5G, 35GB premium data threshold, web exclusive, new number or bring your number, and 4 more listed features.

The plan is web-exclusive, has no hotspot, may slow after 35GB, and costs $25 per line to activate or change in a store. Compare the carrier's current checkout terms and test local coverage before transferring every line.

Bottom line: it is a credible fit for the right usage pattern, but it is not an automatic best choice for everyone.
