T-Mobile Internet Lite

Check out the details below for help with your T-Mobile Internet Lite plan.

What is T-Mobile Internet Lite?

For homes that aren't yet eligible for our unlimited T-Mobile 5G Home Internet service, we offer data bucketed plans starting at 100GB that can be used on the T-Mobile 4G LTE or 5G networks without being tied to a specific location. Customers can also choose from higher data buckets: 150 GB, 200 GB, or 300 GB. 

Once you use the monthly data allotment, you will experience reduced speeds. Unused monthly data cannot be carried forward.

When you are eligible for an unlimited T-Mobile 5G Home Internet plan, you can change your plan at no extra cost. Check availability and sign up for the waitlist to be notified once your address is eligible. Not available in Puerto Rico..
