Why does tmobile require a data plan




















Video streaming at up to 1. For best performance, leave video streaming applications at default automatic resolution setting. Tethering: Tethering at max 3G speeds.

Tablet usage is prioritized over tethering usage, which may result in higher speeds for data used on tablet. See T-Mobile. Plan not available for hotspots and some other data-first devices.

Network Management: Service may be slowed, suspended, terminated, or restricted for misuse, abnormal use, interference with our network or ability to provide quality service to other users, or significant roaming. Customer devices also have varying speed capabilities and may connect to different networks depending on technology. Even within coverage areas and with broadband-capable devices, network changes, traffic volume, outages, technical limitations, signal strength, obstructions, weather, and other conditions may impact speeds and service availability.

Your network experience and access may also be impacted if you fail to pay amounts you owe T-Mobile. Additionally, T-Mobile offers other services to its customers that use the same network infrastructure and resources as its broadband internet access services and are given priority over other traffic on the network.

These services may affect the availability of network resources for consumer or enterprise broadband internet access services, which may be noticeable in times of congestion. Similarly, Wireless Priority Service traffic may preempt other traffic during times of extreme congestion, which means that in rare cases we may interrupt an active data or voice session to support public safety needs.

The term "speed" is commonly used as a shorthand way to describe the rate at which a particular broadband Internet access service can transmit data. This rate or speed is typically measured in the number of kilobits or megabits transmitted in one second Kbps or Mbps.

Some applications like email or basic web browsing do not require a high-data speed to function very well, while other activities like high-definition video streaming or transferring large data files are better experienced with higher data speeds. Latency, also known as delay, is the amount of time from when a data packet is sent to when it is received.

For Broadband Internet Access Services, latency is usually expressed as the round-trip time in milliseconds "ms" that it takes for a data packet to travel between two end points on the Internet from point A to point B and then back to point A. Some applications, such as email, can tolerate a substantial amount of latency without any noticeable impact on the application's performance, while other applications, such as real-time video conferencing, require lower latency to function properly.

Based on internal analysis and projections from third-party, crowd-sourced data and subject to the factors described above and below, T-Mobile expects T-Mobile -branded customers with recent broadband-capable devices and qualifying service will experience the following speeds and latency on our 5G and 4G LTE networks. T-Mobile expects similar speeds for Sprint-branded customers with recent broadband-capable devices roaming on the T-Mobile network.

These ranges are projections based on roughly the 25th and 75th percentiles of network tests. T-Mobile will provide additional information here regarding speed and latency percentiles as the 5G network is further deployed and more crowd-sourced user data is collected. Please review this page for updated information as the 5G rollout is ongoing. These ranges represent network performance nationally on recent devices and may differ from future network conditions or from what you purchased as part of your current rate plan when you first activated it.

As described above, your experience may also differ based on, e. You may occasionally experience speeds, latency, or other network capabilities outside the ranges available as part of your service.

T-Mobile constantly works to improve performance on its network and to pursue advanced and next-generation technologies and services. For example, T-Mobile is in the process of deploying its 5G network, including layering millimeter wave, mid-band, and low-band spectrum over the LTE network, and rolling out and low-band 5G.

Devices operating on T-Mobile's nationwide 5G network may use multi-band dual connectivity; customers with 5G-compatible devices may receive service via both T-Mobile's 4G LTE network and its 5G network to support their connectivity. In recent years, T-Mobile has aggressively built out its high-speed data networks so nearly all customers have regular access to high speeds. T-Mobile may limit activations of new devices on these older technologies as we transition our network to newer technologies; see a sales representative for the latest options.

Based on internal and crowd-sourced testing, we expect T-Mobile-branded customers and Sprint-branded customers roaming on the T-Mobile network with broadband-capable devices during use of these older technologies to typically experience average download speeds of 1. The typical customer experience on T-Mobile's older networks is good for streaming audio, email, and web browsing. Some plans may include maximum speeds for some services. The Magenta plan includes a set amount of high-speed tethering, after which tethering usage continues at a maximum of kbps 3G speeds.

The T-Mobile Essentials plan includes tethering at a maximum of kbps. Customers may choose to activate an add-on feature for a set amount of high-speed tethering data. Wearables plans provide a maximum of kbps.

See your plan for details. For coverage information relating to specific geographic areas, see our coverage map. To access a given network technology e. As noted above, devices operating on T-Mobile's nationwide 5G network may in some areas use both 4G LTE and 5G signals and dynamically route traffic between the signals to support your connectivity. The network architecture providing dual connectivity could result in instances where your device indicates a 5G connection even though you are temporarily utilizing only 4G LTE.

As 5G technology develops, devices will be able to experience direct and continuous 5G in more places. If your data plan features a designated allotment of high-speed data, data used by certain speed measurement applications will not count against that high-speed data allotment to provide accurate and reliable information about network performance without consuming large amounts of your data.
