this is crazy what you pay in america, in europe the cheapest unlimited t-mobile plan goes with 90€



Tmobile is technically different companies in Europe and US, although Tmobile in Europe owns 43% of Tmobile US, and interestingly, the German government owns 32% of Tmobile Europe.

Tmobile is also widely considered to be the worst of the 3 US mobile networks (Verizon is considered to have the best coverage, then ATT, then Tmobile). Their pricing reflects that too, as Verizon is the most expensive, then ATT, then Tmobile.


For that price (approx USD 120) I get 4 lines, so my whole family. I'm not happy about the data breach, but I'm very happy with TMobile otherwise, and I seem to have a better deal than my friends on AT&T and others here in the USA.


Technically, it's not unlimited. More like 20-30GB at 5G speeds and everything after at unusable speeds.
