Frequently Asked Questions

T-Mobile's 5G Home Internet uses the same great network T-Mobile smartphones run on. Home Internet customers get service for just $50/month with AutoPay, and no hidden monthly fees, no annual contracts, and no data caps. The T-Mobile High-Speed Internet Gateway (which combines the capabilities of a router and a modem), is delivered directly to their home, and it’s easy to install. Just plug it in, turn it on, and you’re ready to go - streaming, zooming, and playing. During congestion, Home Internet customers may notice speeds lower than other customers due to data prioritization.

• T-Mobile Home Internet is just $50 all in with AutoPay, or $55 without AutoPay.
• There's no annual service contract and no hidden fees and 24/7 support from T-Mobile's amazing Customer Care Team.

No, a voice plan is not required to sign up for T-Mobile Home Internet.

Most T-Mobile Home Internet customers are on tax-inclusive voice plans or have Home Internet as the only lines on their account. This means that regulatory fees are included in the price of Home Internet. Customers on a tax-exclusive voice plan will pay regulatory fees on top of the $50 after AutoPay rate.

You can use your Home Internet for all the homework, streaming, and video conferencing you need! But to ensure that our network is available for all customers, there are some restrictions on activities that can damage or disproportionately congest the network. For example, Home Internet is not intended for unattended use, automatic data feeds, automated machine-to-machine connections, or uses that automatically consume unreasonable amounts of available network capacity. Please see T-Mobile's Terms and Conditions for prohibited uses.

See T-Mobile.com/OpenInternet for more information.

We don't offer tiered pricing based on speeds at this time. Customers automatically receive the best speeds available from the Home Internet service at their home address. As better speeds are available, customers will automatically experience them, at no additional cost. During congestion, Home Internet customers may notice speeds lower than customers using other T-Mobile services due to data prioritization.

Any customer who activates T-Mobile Home Internet or Small Business Internet on a qualifying plan within the promotional window and schedules cancellation of service within the first 15 days of activation will qualify for Test Drive.

At the time cancellation is scheduled, a one time bill credit will be applied to your account to zero out any T-Mobile Internet service charges on your bill. If there is a credit balance on the account because a payment was made before the one time bill credit was applied, the credit balance will be proactively paid out after 30 days via a Prepaid MasterCard from North Lane to the billing address on file.

Your 15 Days starts the day you activate and bring home your device from a retail store or once you receive a notification that your 5G gateway has shipped.

Yes, you will need to return the gateway after you cancel your service, or you will be charged a non-return fee to your bill that is not eligible for any money back adjustment. Equipment Non-Return Fees are not part of Test Drive. These will be handled in the same way they would without Test Drive and are not eligible for a money back adjustment.

The T-Mobile Network Test Drive allows non-T-Mobile customers to try T-Mobile's network for up to 30 days with their own phone, phone number and apps from another carrier. While the T-Mobile Internet Test drive allows Non-T-Mobile customers and existing T-Mobile customers to try out T-Mobile Home Internet or Small Business Internet service for 15 days after activation worry-free. If T-Mobile Internet is not right for you, cancel within the first 15 days for a full refund.

Home Internet Lite is offered in areas where we don’t have enough network capacity to offer our unlimited Home Internet service and because of that, data is more expensive. Pricing for these plans is in-line with our hot spot rate plans and is often far less than what customers are currently getting from comparable Satellite or DSL plans.
