T-Mobile Magenta vs. T-Mobile Prepaid
I am currently on the Magenta plan and started looking into their prepaid plans to save money. My current bill is at $220 for 3 lines. On the prepaid plan I'm considering, for 3 lines it would come out to $105/mo. which includes:
- 5-year price guarantee
- Unlimited 5G with 50GB of premium data
- Unlimited talk and text
- AutoPay monthly discount
- Unlimited mobile hotspot with 3G speeds
- T-Mobile Tuesdays
- MLB.TV (when available) - I don't care for this
- Scam Block
I was looking at my current plan details and there are benefits/extras that I don't use/need like Netflix, Apple TV, etc. The differences I saw is that with my current plan these are included:
High-speed data With T-Mobile, you get high-speed data on our nationwide 5G & 4G LTE network to back you up
5G access at no extra cost. A 5G capable device is required to receive 5G network access. Coverage not available in some areas. Some uses may require certain plan or feature.
Wi-Fi calling
With Wi-Fi Calling, you can make and receive calls and messages over Wi-Fi, just as if you were on the network. This is particularly helpful in areas where the cellular signal is weak or nonexistent (basements, rural areas, etc.), but there is a strong and reliable Wi-Fi signal. Wi-Fi Calling also lets you to call the U.S. from anywhere in the world for free! And T-Mobile phones have Wi-Fi Calling built right in.

Would it be better to switch to the prepaid plan? Also, what does 3G speed look like? Is that too slow?
