Our Opinion
Starter Monthly suits light-data users who want direct T-Mobile prepaid service. Its clearest value is 15GB of high-speed data with hotspot use for $40 monthly with AutoPay.
The recorded package includes unlimited talk and text, 15GB high-speed data, unlimited 2G speeds after 15GB, $45 without AutoPay, and 1 more listed feature. Its 15GB high-speed, then unlimited at 2G speeds hotspot allowance is useful only if that speed and amount match the way you tether.
Video streams in SD, taxes and fees cost extra, and the price is $5 higher without AutoPay. 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.
