We realize that there are many streaming music options out there, and that your favorite service may not yet be included in Music Freedom. We're only including domestic streaming services, and we chose companies that drive 85% of the music streaming traffic today to make sure the majority of users are covered.
However, we're always open to suggestions on improving our services. If you have an idea for a music streaming service that should be added to our Music Freedom selection, let us know!
Does Music Freedom include song downloads I can purchase through iTunes or Amazon? What about music stored on a cloud?
Music Freedom only includes commercial music streaming apps (such as Spotify); it does NOT include music downloads or listening to music on your cloud.
However, if you already have music physically stored on your device, then listening to those songs don't count against your data usage.
If I stream music through Smartphone Mobile Hotspot®, will it count against my data?
Yes. if you stream music through Smartphone Mobile Hotspot (also known as tethering), it would count against your data, and it's not covered under Music Freedom.
Do I get unlimited streaming music when I’m roaming domestically? What about when I'm roaming internationally?
Music Freedom applies to data usage on our T-Mobile network. If you're roaming domestically, you are subject to your roaming data limits.
In regards to international, if you're on our Simple Choice™ Plan, then you already enjoy unlimited data while traveling in 120+ countries and destinations. Streaming music while abroad never counts against your domestic high-speed data, but you should always check with the streaming provider for regional availability.
