When you're a military family, things change all the time. This can include your phone plan. You could be assigned to a new base and your old service is much weaker Or, in my experience, you can be assigned overseas and your phone service doesn't have a true international plan. T-Mobile aims to take that problem off your plate by offering the Military Essentials plan for military families.
Whether your active duty partner is in a field exercise for two weeks or deployed overseas for a whole year, those quick phone calls and rare chances to FaceTime are so vital and help everyone pass the time apart. T-Mobile's goal is simply to help military families and veterans stay connected.
Here are a few deals that T-Mobile is offering to help families, like mine, feel closer no matter how far apart they are:
1. The T-Mobile Essentials Military Plan
2. The T-Mobile Go5G Military Plan
3. The T-Mobile Go5G Plus Military Plan
4. The T-Mobile Go5G Next Military Plan
Why should I switch to T-Mobile?
T-Mobile is dedicated to bringing you the best service on the latest devices for the lowest prices, which are even lower with the T-Mobile military discount for active duty, veterans and military spouses. You can save up to 30% on three lines with T-Mobile compared to the same plans with Verizon or AT&T. Plus, you'll be eligible for even more benefits, like T-Mobile's scam shield to block those annoying scam calls, or the Magenta status which provides more discounts to you outside of your phone plan. You're enrolled in T-Mobile's Magenta status on day one, where you can get access to streaming apps, a 15% off discount at Hilton properties and even Tuesday deals like $5 movie tickets.
Can I bring my device and phone number to T-Mobile?
Yes! But, both require a quick check first. You'll need to see if your phone is compatible with the T-Mobile network. Your number will also need to be checked. It is rare when a number cannot be moved over. If it is, you'll simply follow the on-screen instructions during checkout to authorize the transfer. Both can be checked online, over the phone, or by visiting the nearest T-Mobile store.
