Update from June 18, 2025:
T-Mobile told us that it always intended to replace Go5G plans with Experience plans and that changes only apply to customers upgrading to the new plans.
When we introduced our simplified new plan portfolio with our Experience plans in April, it was always the intent that these plans would replace Go5G plans for new customers. There is no change for customers on their existing plans unless they choose to make the upgrade to the new plans.

Since launching plans with taxes and fees included over seven years ago, we heard that it’s confusing and makes it harder to compare plans across providers. So just as we’ve always done, we listened and took action to ensure the value and benefits you get with T-Mobile compared to other providers is super clear.

The original story follows below:
It was reported a few days back that T-Mobile had made it almost impossible for customers to activate Go5G plans and that the company was phasing out tax-included watch and tablet plans. Customers who wish to add lines with taxes and other fees included apparently have until today or, at most, tomorrow to do so.The Mobile Report has reiterated that T-Mobile is removing tax-inclusive versions of almost all plans.
Since the introduction of the ONE plan in 2017, most plans included taxes and other fees in their pricing. That changed with the new Experience More and Experience Beyond plans that were announced in April.
Except for home internet plans, all T-Mobile plans will be tax-exclusive from now on. This includes smartwatches, hotspots, and other “BTS” lines (beyond the smartphone) lines.
Existing tax-included plans will be grandfathered in, meaning if you have already activated a tax-inclusive plan, nothing will change for you. However, any new lines you add will be tax-exclusive.
T-Mobile no longer follows this philosophy
Similarly, if your home internet line is tax-exclusive, that will continue to be the case, unless you change your plan.
Per today’s report, the change for non-voice lines will either take effect today or tomorrow. Either way, if you have been thinking about adding a new line and don’t want taxes to be tacked on separately, you should act fast. Otherwise, taxes and fees excluded versions will be your only option, and you might not like that as these tend to fluctuate.
As for Go5G plans, they have vanished from T-Mobile‘s website and systems, though customer care might still be able to activate them for you. We are guessing that they will be removed completely alongside tax-inclusive non-voice lines. Even though T-Mobile‘s new Experience plans come with a five-year price lock, that guarantee doesn’t extend to taxes and fees.
We’ve reached out to T-Mobile for a comment and will update the story when we have a response.
