Our Opinion
Starter Monthly suits light users who want direct T-Mobile prepaid service without a contract. Its clearest value is 15GB of high-speed data that can also be shared through a mobile hotspot.
The recorded package includes unlimited talk and text, 15GB high-speed data, $45 without AutoPay. Its 15GB high-speed, then unlimited at 2G speeds hotspot allowance is useful only if that speed and amount match the way you tether.
The $40 monthly price requires AutoPay, taxes and fees are extra, and video streams in SD. 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.
