Veteran families: You can save a ton on wireless plans with T-Mobile

May 16, 2020

By Kim Komando

May is National Military Appreciation Month, a special time to honor the service and sacrifice of members of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, Marines, and Space Force.  

We thank you for your service — and our sponsor T-Mobile is right there with us. Through times of crisis and times of peace, T-Mobile is committed to serving military and veteran families. The Un-carrier goes beyond military discounts to provide career assistance and community support for U.S. military service members, veterans, and their families.

Let’s explore the ways T-Mobile says “thank you” each and every day to members of the military and their families.

Military and Veteran community support

T-Mobile has a long history of supporting our military. In fact, it’s invested and donated more than $5 million to military and veteran organizations since 2017.

The company’s commitment goes far beyond financial, too. That includes developing a transition program for active-duty military personnel. Through its partnership with FourBlock, T-Mobile sponsors Fourblock Online, giving transitioning military personnel a free version of Fourblock’s best-in-class Career Readiness Program.

Healthcare from virtually anywhere

T-Mobile also helps veterans get the care they deserve by working with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to enable real-time healthcare via video.

T-Mobile subscribers can use VA Video Connect on the T-Mobile network, without it counting against their high-speed data usage.

Military discounts

With the T-Mobile military discount, active duty military members, veterans and current or former Guard or Reserve members qualify for 50% off family lines on T-Mobile’s Magenta Military rate plans.

Get this plan with 5G access included on the first and only 5G nationwide network when you buy a 5G compatible device. Service starts as low as $25 per line for four lines (that’s a $60 discount from Magenta – four lines for $160 per month) with taxes and fees included.

A prominent employer for veterans, and their spouses

It’s not just about discounts and services. T-Mobile is on a mission to hire 10,000 veterans and military spouses by 2023, The company works with organizations like Hiring Our Heroes to find and recruit military and veteran talent.
