Right as travel is on the rebound and inflation
is on the rise, T-Mobile is making another Un-carrier move to help
people get back out there AND save money
What’s the news: T-Mobile’s latest Un-carrier move,
Coverage Beyond, expands coverage and keeps customers connected on
flights and in 210+ countries and destinations. Plus, the
Un-carrier is giving customers a year of AAA on Us, exclusive
travel discounts on T-Mobile TRAVEL, extra savings on Shell gas and
more – all on T-Mobile Tuesdays. Whew!
Why it matters: Travel is back, inflation is on the rise
and T-Mobile is changing the travel game AGAIN.
Who it’s for: The millions of people who are looking to
travel again.
Ready. Set. Travel! Today, T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) is taking
coverage above and beyond, pushing the boundaries of their own
coverage map to 30,000 feet and abroad. Introducing T-Mobile’s
latest Un-carrier move, Coverage Beyond, with free high-speed data
in 210+ countries and destinations AND free in-flight connectivity
and streaming all flight long on the biggest U.S. airlines. And the
Un-carrier is flexing its post-merger scale to negotiate exclusive
benefits just for T-Mobile customers, like AAA on Us for a full
year, 25 cents off per gallon of Shell gas through Labor Day, and
launching T-Mobile TRAVEL with Priceline to hook up customers with
exclusive deals, up to 40% off select hotels and rental cars. Boom.
Start packing. Because this all starts rolling out on the first
official day of Summer, June 21.

And the best part? It’s all free. Customers get loads more
without paying a penny extra.
This news comes as Americans get back to travel after years of
staycations, complications and frustrations. In fact, more than
two-thirds of Americans say they’re planning to “go big” on their
next trip1. And business travel spending worldwide is expected to
jump more than 37% next year to over $1 trillion2. At the same
time, people are watching their wallets more closely than ever, and
with prices everywhere increasing, free travel benefits never
sounded so good.
“Our mission is to be the best in the world at connecting
customers to their world, and that means making sure your phone
just works wherever you go – even if you travel beyond our signal,”
said Mike Sievert, CEO, T-Mobile. “We pioneered coverage in-flight
and abroad, and today we’re going full throttle to change the game
again. This is what the Un-carrier does – hunts down pain points,
smashes them, and changes the game for good.”
Right now, staying connected while traveling is cumbersome at
best, costly at worst and yet ever so critical. American travelers
fork over an estimated $1.3 billion per year just to stay connected
while flying3. Two-thirds of travelers say they worry about staying
connected while traveling, with more than half concerned about
paying extra abroad4. And it’s easy to see why! AT&T could
charge a whopping $2050 for a single GB of data abroad in most
countries ($2.05/MB) if customers don’t buy their international
pass ahead of time! If Timmy streams an hour of TikTok videos,
that’s a roughly $6,000 bill from AT&T. There goes that college
fund, Timmy!
Today, T-Mobile is fixing that.
Coverage Beyond: High-Speed Data Worldwide
T-Mobile introduced breakthrough travel benefits with Simple
Global in 2013. This changed the game with how Un-carrier customers
use their phones when traveling. T-Mobile customers – including
businesses – now use a whopping 60 times more data overseas than
before. And today, T-Mobile is back at it again.
Starting June 21, when touching down in a foreign country,
T-Mobile customers will get 5GB of free high-speed data each month,
up to 5G speeds where available, in 210+ countries and destinations
on T-Mobile’s most popular plan, Magenta MAX, and on the Business
Unlimited Ultimate plan. No passes to buy. No hoops to jump
through. No BS.
This move is another first from T-Mobile, making the Un-carrier
the only provider to offer this much high-speed data in this many
places … over 10X more locations than AT&T and over 10X more
high-speed data than Verizon.
Plus, customers get the same experience of 5GB of high-speed
data in 11 European countries — Austria, Croatia, Czech Republic,
Germany, Greece, Hungary, Macedonia, Montenegro, Poland, Romania
and Slovakia — on Magenta, most business plans and equivalent
Sprint plans thanks to T-Mobile’s partnership with Deutsche
Telecom. Essentially, everywhere a phone says “T-Mobile” customers
will get the highest speeds available for their plan.
And T-Mobile is doubling the speeds worldwide across all 210+
countries and destinations (from 128kbps to 256kbps) so customers’
phones just work from the moment they touch down for things like
basic navigation and email. This is in addition to the free texting
customers already enjoy in those destinations. And it all comes on
top of 5GB of high-speed data and free calling and texting for
Magenta, Magenta MAX and eligible T-Mobile for Business customers
in Mexico and Canada.
Roam on without worry.
In addition, T-Mobile for Business customers will soon get the
Secure Wi-Fi mobile app, included at no extra cost with Business
Advanced and Ultimate plans. Secure Wi-Fi is a set-and-forget app
that, when connected to public Wi-Fi, automatically helps protect
customers’ data and enhance their experience on their smartphone –
anywhere in the world. It’s perfect for when customers need to get
work done and have no choice but to use public Wi-Fi. And it’s 100%
on Us.
Coverage Beyond: Free In-flight Connectivity
To keep Un-carrier customers connected in-flight, T-Mobile is
working with in-flight Wi-Fi providers to give customers free
connectivity WITH streaming all flight long on the biggest U.S.
airlines. Delta, American and Alaska Airlines will launch first on
select flights starting June 21. United Airlines will follow. And
T-Mobile will continue to work hard to keep customers covered on
even more airlines over time.
This means T-Mobile customers are connected overseas and now in
America’s skyways … at no extra cost. More airlines. More flights.
Full-flight connectivity. And better connectivity.
This isn’t the in-flight Wi-Fi of decades past. In addition to
texting, browsing and emailing on your phone, T-Mobile customers
can also stream, where available, all flight long too. Meaning
customers can watch all the streaming services they get for free or
at a discount with T-Mobile – like MLB.tv, Netflix, Paramount+,
Philo, YouTube TV and more.
Coverage Beyond includes:
- Free connection all flight long on EVERY flight with Magenta
MAX, Business Unlimited Ultimate and equivalent Sprint plans.
- Free connection all flight long on four flights the customer
chooses per year, with a free hour for every flight after that with
Magenta, Business Unlimited Advanced and equivalent Sprint
plans.
Coverage Beyond: T-Mobile Customers FTW
T-Mobile’s not just going full throttle on keeping customers
connected, the Un-carrier is going to the mat, leveraging the
post-merger size and scale of the new T-Mobile to negotiate deals
for customers that they can’t get themselves. All so more
Un-carrier customers can get back to travel this Summer. Starting
June 21 the official first day of Summer, T-Mobile will be rolling
out the magenta carpet in the T-Mobile Tuesdays app.
First up, big news for road trippers. The Un-carrier is now
AAA’s official wireless partner. And that means T-Mobile customers
get a year of AAA on Us, with 24-hour roadside assistance, on
Magenta, Magenta MAX and eligible small business plans! Driving is
the #1 mode of travel – 1 in 3 people in the U.S. travelled by road
for the holidays pre-pandemic5. With the most 5G coverage on US
highways – more than twice the next provider – T-Mobile customers
can rest easy and road trip with confidence.
Plus, AAA is now seamlessly integrated with T-Mobile’s SyncUP
DRIVE that turns the car into a hotspot on wheels and monitors
vehicle health. Right now, all T-Mobile customers can get SyncUP
DRIVE for FREE when adding a qualifying line.
Second, to help take the sting out of rising gas prices,
T-Mobile teamed up with Shell and the Fuel Rewards® program to give
customers an exclusive 25 cents off per gallon of gas this summer
through the week of Labor Day via T-Mobile Tuesdays.
Finally, with travel prices skyrocketing, the Un-carrier is
going the extra mile to help customers save. T-Mobile tapped
Priceline to launch T-Mobile TRAVEL with Priceline, a new site with
travel deals exclusively for T-Mobile and Metro by T-Mobile
customers. Save up to 40% and never pay full price on hotels or Pay
Now rental cars, plus customers can book flights and more!
And while travel deals are advertised everywhere, thanks to the
size and scale of the T-Mobile customer base, the Un-carrier was
able to negotiate some travel deals so remarkable they can’t be
found anywhere else. Just last month, a T-Mobile customer traveling
to Hawaii for 9 days stayed in Waikiki and got a $300/night hotel
for just $200/night, knocking $900 off the total trip. Another
stayed at a 4-star oceanside beach club in Miami and got a $551
hotel for $351 for all 6 nights.
Already, during the pilot, customers saved over 17 MILLION
dollars on hotels alone in just this past year, with many saving
more than $500 on a single trip. That’s enough savings for an
upgrade to business class or a few noise-cancelling headphones.
Enjoy.
Every single T-Mobile customer, including businesses, can head
to t-mobiletravel.com or the T-Mobile Tuesdays app, enter their
number and get a code to unlock exclusive savings to start planning
their next trip today. Easily scroll through ratings, reviews and
see the T-Mobile savings in Magenta upfront. Now start saving and
get packing!
Coverage Beyond? Check. Free Trips of a Lifetime? Also

jumpstart travel plans, starting June 21 on T-Mobile Tuesdays, the
Un-carrier is giving away a trip of a lifetime to 10 lucky winners.
