T-Mobile has been the carrier to 'shake-up' the cellular industry in the past few years. Their April 2020 merger with Sprint gave them greater coverage and spectrum ownership.
T-Mobile Business has leveraged the merger to offer several easily obtainable plans by sole proprietors and small business customers.
Plan Information
T-Mobile offers a line of plans for small business customers that are priced similarly to their consumer plans but offer more features & benefits. To sign up for a business plan, you must have a "qualifying" business account and approved credit.
