To choose your own phone plan benefits with T-Mobile, sign up for a T-Mix postpaid plan. T-Mix plans include Picks, which you use to choose benefits like streaming, music, gaming, travel, and device deals. You choose and manage your benefits in the T-Life app, and you can change them four times a year.
T-Mix gives each account a set number of Picks instead of a fixed lineup of benefits. The number of Picks depends on your plan and how many lines are on the account. That means two T-Mix accounts on the same plan can end up with different benefits.
Choosing your own benefits with T-Mix takes three steps:
- Choose your plan. T-Mix comes in three plans: Standard, More, and Loaded. Each plan includes different features and a different number of Picks.
- Pick your benefits. Use your Picks* in the T-Life app on streaming, music, gaming, travel, on-demand delivery, or a device deal.
- Change your benefits as needed. You can change partner benefits during a change window, with no added cost to change partner benefits in a change window.
*Number of Picks varies by T-Mix plan and lines on account. Account or Picks changes may impact existing device & other promotions. Regular redemptions required & restrictions apply. Learn more at T-Mobile.com/Picks.
What’s included in each plan before you choose your benefits?
Every T-Mix plan includes a set of plan features, like data and hotspot, before you spend any Picks on benefits. Higher-tier T-Mix plans include more data, more hotspot, and higher streaming quality.
Here’s what each of the three T-Mix plans costs and includes:
- T-Mix Standard: T-Mix Standard costs $55/month* for one line and includes unlimited talk and text, 50GB of premium data, unlimited 3G hotspot, video streaming in SD (480p), and Scam Shield.
- T-Mix More: T-Mix More costs $75/month** for one line and includes unlimited talk, text, and premium data, 60GB of high-speed hotspot data, and up to 4K UHD streaming with activation.
- T-Mix Loaded: T-Mix Loaded costs $95/month*** for one line and includes unlimited talk, text, and premium data, 250GB of high-speed hotspot data, and watch and tablet lines for $5/month.
*Standard: With Autopay, plus taxes & fees. During congestion, customers on this plan using >50GB/mo. may notice reduced speeds until next bill cycle due to data prioritization. Video streams in SD. Tethering at max 3G speeds.
**More: With Autopay, plus taxes & fees. Activate up to 4K UHD streaming on capable device, or video typically streams in SD. Up to 60GB high-speed tethering then unlimited on our network at max 3G speeds.
***Loaded: With Autopay, plus taxes & fees. Activate up to 4K UHD streaming on capable device, or video typically streams in SD. Up to 250GB high-speed tethering then unlimited on our network at max 3G speeds.
What’s the difference between a perk and a Pick?
A perk comes automatically with being a T-Mobile customer, while a Pick lets you choose a benefit. Every T-Mix plan includes both perks and Picks.
You don’t need to spend any Picks to get these member perks:
- T-Mobile Tuesdays: Last year, T-Mobile Tuesdays offered over $900* worth of freebies.
- Travel perks: Hotel stays and rental cars come with member perks.
- Delta in-flight drink: A premium drink is On Us on every eligible Delta flight.
- Club Magenta: Club Magenta access is available at events like the Las Vegas Grand Prix, MLB All-Star Game, Lollapalooza, and Stagecoach.
- Event tickets: Ticket access and experiences are available at thousands of events.
*Based on free items T-Mobile Tuesdays offered members from September 2025 through August 2026, which totaled more than $900. Offers vary, are not guaranteed to continue, must be claimed by the customer, are not a credit toward your bill, and some are limited to new users.
How do Picks work?
Picks are earned by your whole T-Mobile account, so adding lines increases the number of Picks you can spend on benefits. You can use Picks on one line, like a device deal, or across the account, like a streaming service. You can’t buy extra Picks, so adding lines is the only way to get more.
For example, a single line on T-Mix Loaded earns 3 Picks, but a Loaded account can earn up to 21 Picks as you add more lines. Most T-Mix benefits cost 1 Pick, but some cost up to 4 Picks, like ESPN Unlimited.
Here’s how T-Mix Picks change with each line on the account:
| Lines | T-Mix Standard | T-Mix More | T-Mix Loaded |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | $55/mo.* 1 Pick |
$75/mo.* 2 Picks |
$95/mo.* 3 Picks |
| 2 | $85/mo.* 2 Picks |
$130/mo.* 4 Picks |
$160/mo.* 6 Picks |
| 3 | $100/mo.* 3 Picks |
$155/mo.* 6 Picks |
$200/mo.* 9 Picks |
| 4 | $115/mo.* 4 Picks |
$180/mo.* 7 Picks |
$240/mo.* 11 Picks |
| 5 | $130/mo.* 4 Picks |
$205/mo.* 8 Picks |
$280/mo.* 13 Picks |
*Monthly price for the whole account, with AutoPay, plus taxes & fees. Number of Picks varies by T-Mix plan and lines on account. Account or Picks changes may impact existing device & other promotions. Regular redemptions required & restrictions apply. Learn more at T-Mobile.com/Picks.
What kinds of benefits can you choose with a phone plan?

Can you change your phone plan benefits?
Yes, T-Mix customers can change their benefits four times a year, during three change windows and one Annual Remix at their T-Mix anniversary. Each change window lasts 10 days, and there’s no added cost to change partner benefits in a change window. Customers can change wireless benefits like T-Satellite anytime.
Partner benefits stay set for at least 3 months. Outside a change window, T-Mix customers can drop a partner benefit for a one-time $15 Early Pick Charge, but only to get a device promotion.
Is choosing your own benefits better than fixed benefits?
Yes, choosing your own benefits is better than a fixed set, because you pick benefits that fit your life. A fixed set gives every customer the same benefits, whether or not those benefits match what you watch, play, or use. Choosing your own benefits lets you put the services you’d pay for anyway right into your phone plan, so you can manage fewer separate bills.
T-Mix also lets you remix your benefits as your life changes. For example, you can move Picks from a streaming service to a device promotion when it’s time for a new phone.
