Earlier in August, a report emerged that T-Mobile is teaming up with Google for an exclusive 500GB Google One plan for its postpaid customers. The company has now officially announced this plan. It costs $5 per month and will be available to both T-Mobile and Sprint users starting October 12th. At this price, you get 500GB of shared storage that you can use across various Google services including Google Drive, Gmail, and Google Photos.
Like other standard Google One plans, this plan also offers some additional perks. These include up to 10 percent credit back on Google Store purchases and extended trials for Google services like YouTube Premium, Stadia, and more. You can also share your cloud storage service as well as other plan benefits with up to five family members or friends. They don’t necessarily have to be on the same T-Mobile account.
T-Mobile customers on qualifying consumer postpaid plans can sign up for this exclusive 500GB Google One plan through their T-Mobile account online. They can also use the T-Mobile app or visit a nearby T-Mobile store to subscribe to this plan. Dialing 611 to reach T-Mobile’s customer care Team of Experts will help as well. The self-proclaimed un-carrier is also offering the standard 2TB Google One plan ($9.99 per month) to its postpaid customers through these channels.
Sprint customers, meanwhile, will have to use the T-Mobile Tuesdays app for Android to sign up for this exclusive Google One plan. Users with an iOS device will need to call Sprint Care for the same. T-Mobile is offering a 30 day or more free trial for a limited time to new users. After the free trial, a $5 premium will be added to your monthly T-Mobile bill unless you cancel your subscription.
All Google One subscription plans
Google offers its cloud storage subscription service in many pricing tiers. The base plan costs $1.99 per month and gives you 100GB of additional storage. At the other end of the spectrum is a $149.99 per month plan which gives you 30TB of cloud storage space. Other options in-between include 200GB of cloud storage for $2.99 a month, the aforementioned 2TB plan for $9.99 a month, a 5TB plan for $24.99 a month, a 10TB plan for $49.99 a month, and 20TB of additional storage for $99.99 a month.
The 2TB and higher plans also give you a free VPN (virtual private network) service for Android phones. The exclusive 500GB Google One plan that T-Mobile is offering to its postpaid customers doesn’t include a VPN service. But it’s still a nice new option to have if you need more cloud storage.
