T-Mobile Business is a potential option for RVers, cruisers, and nomads because of they are the easiest carrier to get a business account and offer several easily obtainable plans for sole proprietors and small business customers.
Plan Information
T-Mobile offers various plans for business customers that are generally very similar to consumer postpaid plans but with some different features & benefits.
To sign up for a business plan, you must have a "qualifying" business account and approved credit. Plan eligibility, the number of lines on an account, and other factors can vary depending on your credit rating.
Typically, a business account will get tax-inclusive pricing for accounts with five or fewer lines. More than five lines may get the account (and associated plans) switched to tax-exclusive.
**TOP PICKS**
Top Pick Notes: T-Mobile Business offers a few plans that we consider Top Picks worth focusing your research on. Here are the highlights of the plans we recommend and why we consider them top picks:
Business Unlimited Edge
- Device: Smartphones, Tablets
- Data: Unlimited On Device
- No network deprioritization and 200GB of high-speed hotspot data. This plan is priced like the consumer Go5G Plus plan, which only offers 50GB of high-speed data (with add-ons for up to 100GB).
- Price: $90/month for Unlimited Edge
- Top Pick Notes:
- More Info: View the 'Smartphones Plans' tab
Business Internet
- Device: Routers and Hotspots
- Data: Unlimited
- Price: $50-60/month
- Top Pick Notes: These plans are eligible for BYOD, including most mobile routers. These plans are intended for fixed business use, but T-Mobile advertises them as options for remote and "popup" locations. T-Mobile has not enforced any geo-location restrictions. The Unlimited plan is available only in limited areas, but capped data plans are also available in other locations. Often confused with the Home/Small Business Internet plans. Additionally, a clone of the Home/Small Business internet plan can be ordered from the Business Internet website - avoid this and call Business Sales to get access to the BYOD plans.

Business Tablet Promo Plans
- Device: Tablets
- Data: Unlimited
- Price: $10-15/month
- Top Pick Notes: These plans are promotional and tend to come and go without warning. They can generally be purchased BYOD, standalone, or with a tablet from T-Mobile, depending on the promo details and restrictions.

Smartphone Plans
Smartphone Plans
All of the T-Mobile Business Unlimited plans have language in the fine print that states: For the small fraction of customers using >50GB/mo., primary data usage must be on smartphone or tablet. However they do not have provide any information on what happens to customers if they use more than 50GB of hotspot data, nor have we heard any reports of people running into an issue. But if you are going to use these plans and plan on using a lot of hotspot data, this is something to be aware of.
