This sounds really expensive. 5G as a backup makes sense, but 30 bucks is actual primary service money, not just in case money.

Make it 5 and I would consider it.

Or even 5 flat and 30 for a month when it kicks in or is enabled.

Edit: ofcourse not when it kicks in if TMobile is also your primary provider. Cause that just invites fuckery.

Or even $50 a year with like 5 GB included and pay-as-you-go afterward.

But yeah, $30/mo is more than I pay for my single line that also includes hotspot.
