T‑Mobile Enhances Internet Backup Plans

T-Mobile USA, Inc. extends its home internet backup and small business internet backup plans with more data to help ISP customers stay connected when their primary ISP has an outage.

In addition to the 130GB of 5G data/month already included in the Un-carrier’s backup internet plans – which is enough data to keep a typical household connected for up to 7 days when their primary cable or fiber ISP goes down – starting November 14, new and existing customers will get 3 additional free 130GB  data passes a year, providing extra peace of mind and connectivity.

When a customer’s primary ISP has a longer outage and they need more data, they can activate one of their free passes to stay connected. Each pass lasts for 3 days or until the data is used – whichever comes 1st.

T-Mobile home internet backup and small business internet backup plans are $20/month with AutoPay.

In addition to the included monthly data and 3 free data passes yearly, customers also get: 

• Fast and easy setup: Go from box to browsing in 15mn or less with a simple self-install process. Keep the gateway plugged in and simply switch devices over to T-Mobile 5G Internet when that primary cable or fiber Internet connection goes down.
• No monthly equipment fees: Customers get a 5G gateway included with their plan without paying a penny more.

And starting November 14 for a limited time, new customers can get half off the Nimble Champ Pro 20k 65W Portable Power battery pack (making it $49.99!) to keep their gateway powered – and their home connected with Wi-Fi – for up to 7 hours during power outages.

Visit a T-Mobile store or call Care to sign up for home internet backup or small business internet backup and get 50% off a battery pack, or to add a free data pass.

Why it matters: With cable outages rising 28% Y/Y, T-Mobile’s backup internet plans give people even more peace of mind with a backup 5G Internet solution when they need it most.

Who it’s for: Anyone with a traditional ISP who’s looking for a reliable way to stay connected during an outage.
