T-Mobile’s back-to-school deals bundle phone data and 5G WiFi — plus free Netflix and Hulu

T-Mobile has launched a new set of back-to-school wireless plans designed to help eligible college and grad students save money on their mobile and internet bills. The Student Perks program offers three tiers, starting at $30 per month, with higher tiers available for more data and perks.

The Essentials Saver plan costs $30 per month and includes unlimited talk, text, and data. However, it does not bundle any streaming or upgrade perks, making it the most basic option. The Experience More plan is priced at $65 per month and includes the same reliable service as Essentials Saver, but it also includes free Netflix with standard ads and Apple TV for $3 per month.

For those looking for the most comprehensive package, T-Mobile offers the Experience Beyond plan at $80 per month. This includes Netflix and Hulu both included free, Apple TV for just $3 per month, and the 5-Year Price Guarantee, which guarantees the fullest lineup of streaming and travel perks T-Mobile offers.

All three tiers come with several additional perks when paired with T-Mobile's 5G Home Internet for an additional $30 per month. These perks include T-Mobile Tuesdays, T-Mobile Work Perks, 12 months free DashPass by DoorDash (redeemable within 30 days of activation), and a $100 referral bonus for referring friends. To claim these benefits, students must verify their student eligibility within 45 days of signing up.

Failure to do so may result in reverting to standard Essentials Saver pricing, which could be up to $20 more per line per month. AutoPay is required for the listed pricing, and skipping it could lead to paying more per line. The limited-time home internet bundle credit is subject to change, and regulatory fees and surcharges apply to the listed prices.
