The monthly plans start at $50 for one line, $80 for two lines, then $10 more per line up to a maximum of 5 lines, $110. For your $110 you get unlimited domestic (within the USA) talk, text and web on all 5 lines with high speed data access capped at 500mb per line, then it slows down but stays unlimited. While travelling to more than 100 countries including JA, you get unlimited texting within that country and back to the USA as well as basic data (128k) at no additional charge and calls within that country and back to the USA is .20 per minute.

If you need more high speed data, an additional $10 gets you 2.5gb of data (per line) and $20 makes it unlimited while at home, and you can purchase high speed data for your travels as well.

The thing I really like is that you're using your everyday phone number, and don't need a JA number, no need to get another phone, no need to unlock or swap sim cards.

T-Mobile also will now buy out your contracts with other carriers (up to $350 per line) so it's a great time to switch.

(I want to be clear and honest - I work for T-Mobile, but am in no way asking anyone to do business with me.)
