T-Mobile Business is a potential option for RVers, cruisers, and nomads because of they are the easiest carrier to get a business account and offer several easily obtainable plans for sole proprietors and small business customers.
Plan Information
T-Mobile offers various plans for business customers that are generally very similar to consumer postpaid plans but with some different features & benefits.
You must have a "qualifying" business account and approved credit to sign up for a business plan. Plan eligibility, the number of lines on an account, and other factors can vary depending on credit rating.
Typically, a business account will get tax-inclusive pricing for accounts with five or fewer lines. More than five lines may get the account (and associated plans) switched to tax exclusive.
