The first Black Friday deals of 2026 are officially live. While there are plenty of cell phone deals to choose from, deals on data plans are hard to come by. That is, until now.
For a limited time, you can get unlimited 5G data on Metro by T-Mobile for just $15/month for your first 3 months. After the initial period, you'll still pay a low $25/month with AutoPay. The plan includes unlimited talk, text, and data as well as a 5-year price guarantee and all taxes/fees.
Metro by T-Mobile is a prepaid carrier, which means it requires that you pay upfront every month for your service. However, by doing that the carrier can then offer cheaper plans than postpaid carriers.
Formerly known as MetroPCS, Metro by T-Mobile, is part of T-Mobile's portfolio of brands. We like it for its budget-friendly plans which are significantly cheaper than plans you'd find on Verizon or AT&T. There are no activation fees, contracts, or credit checks. And the best part is that it runs on T-Mobile's 5G network.
That said, there are a few things worth noting. First, if you use a lot of data (more than 35GB/mo), you may notice slower speeds when T-Mobile's network is busy. Additionally, video streams in SD. Otherwise, you get the same speedy, reliable access to T-Mobile's 5G network that a postpaid subscriber would get.
