If you’re here, chances are you got that confusing message from T-Mobile saying your plan is changing to Go5G Plus Plan . Maybe you didn’t ask for it. I didn’t either.
Let me explain what’s really going on, what changes with this new Go5G Plus plan, and what you should do about it.
I’ve gone through this myself, so this is all from personal experience, not some copy-pasted PR statement.

What is the Go5G Plus migration?
T-Mobile is automatically moving some users—like people on Magenta Max, ONE Plus, or Sprint Max—to their newer plan called Go5G Plus.
This starts August 13, 2025, and no, they’re not giving you a choice. It’s being labeled as a “free upgrade” with no price hike, but… yeah, it’s not that simple.
What you’re getting with Go5G Plus
Here’s what they say you’ll get after the switch:
- 50GB of high-speed hotspot data
- 15GB of data in Mexico and Canada
- Better trade-in deals, especially for old phones
- Your current promos, free lines, and discounts should still work
That last part is important—should still work. More on that below.
For some people, this actually sounds like a pretty solid deal. But hold on.
But what might you lose?
This is where it gets tricky.
- If you had special legacy perks, older discounts, or a plan that included taxes and fees—you might lose those
- There’s no clear way to opt out, at least for now
- After the change, your bill might look different
- Some users even said their discounts disappeared without warning
Personally, I don’t like that they’re calling this an upgrade when it’s being forced. I also noticed that the taxes aren’t included anymore on Go5G in many cases.
So even if they say your monthly price is the same, it might not be once those fees kick in.
What should you do right now?
This is what I did and what I’d suggest:
- Open the T-Mobile app or log into your account
- Check if your plan says Go5G Plus already
- Look for any text or email from T-Mobile explaining this change
- Take a screenshot of your current plan and perks—trust me, just do it
- If you’re not sure, call or chat with support
I messaged support just to confirm I wasn’t losing my discounts. You should too. If you’ve been on your plan for years, you might have some benefit that’s not listed anywhere else.
And if you’re on a promo that’s no longer available? You don’t want to find out the hard way.

What Real Users Are Saying About the Go5G Plus Switch
Final thoughts (and my honest take)
If you’re truly getting more for the same price, and nothing else changes—great. No need to panic.
But if you’re someone who likes knowing exactly what’s on their bill or if you’ve got grandfathered perks, check everything twice.
T-Mobile says this is an upgrade. But just because they say that doesn’t mean you have to agree. Ask questions. Compare your old and new plan. Don’t let them quietly take away things you’ve had for years.

FAQs
Can I opt out of T-Mobile’s Go5G Plus migration?
As of now, there’s no official opt-out option. You can try contacting T-Mobile support, but most users are being moved automatically.
Is Go5G Plus better than Magenta Max?
For some, yes. You get more hotspot and travel data. But if you had tax-included pricing or legacy discounts, the switch might not feel like an upgrade.
