SAVE UP TO 40%: T-Mobile's Student Perks plans start at $30/month, with tiers up to $80/month for more data and perks. Bundle any tier with 5G Home Internet for another $30/month.
Back-to-school season means back-to-school bills, but T-Mobile's trying to take a little pressure off.
The carrier just launched Student Perks, a new set of discounted wireless plans built for eligible college and grad students — letting you get your own line (or split one with a roommate or partner) without paying full price. There are three tiers to choose from:
- Essentials Saver — $30/month with AutoPay
Unlimited talk, text, and data at the lowest price point. No streaming or upgrade perks bundled in — this is the bare-bones option. - Experience More — $65/month with AutoPay
Same reliable service, but with streaming thrown in — Netflix is free with standard ads, and Apple TV is just $3/month if you want it. - Experience Beyond — $80/month with AutoPay
The all-in option. You get Netflix and Hulu both included free, Apple TV for just $3/month, and the 5-Year Price Guarantee — basically the fullest lineup of streaming and travel perks T-Mobile offers.
Pair any Student Perks plan with T-Mobile's 5G Home Internet for just another $30/month — $5 cheaper than T-Mobile's standard bundle discount. All three tiers also include:
- T-Mobile Tuesdays
- T-Mobile Work Perks
- 12 months free DashPass by DoorDash (redeem within 30 days of activation)
- $100 referral bonus (up to $500/year) for referring friends
Before you sign up:
- You'll need to verify student eligibility within 45 days of signing up, and T-Mobile can ask you to re-verify later — if you don't, your plan reverts to standard Essentials Saver pricing (up to $20/line more per month).
- AutoPay is required for the listed pricing; skip it, and you'll pay more per line.
- The $30/month home internet bundle credit is a limited-time offer and is subject to change.
- Regulatory fees and surcharges apply in addition to the listed prices.
