Got Questions?

  • T-Priority is the only solution built for the 5G era that can dynamically dedicate up to 10x the capacity for first responders in times of extreme congestion. Built on T-Mobile's 5G Standalone Core, the network slice ensures first responders get lower latency and faster 5G speeds more consistently. Plus, it is the highest priority across every single 5G band.

  • For a limited time, first responders who activate a Go5G™ First Responder plan can add our T-Priority network slice at no additional charge (a $7.50/month value) as long as they stay on an eligible plan. And existing first responder customers on any legacy First Responder plan get the same deal when they sign up via the T-Life app or MyT-Mobile. First responders who activate a new Essentials™ First Responder plan can add T-Priority for $7.50/month.

  • To enjoy the full benefits of America’s first network slice for first responders, the verified first responder (primary account holder) must:

    • Activate on an eligible plan.
    • Add T-Priority via the T-Life app.
    • Use a compatible device (check compatibility) with 5G standalone settings enabled in an area with 5G standalone network coverage. (look for 5G Ultra Capacity).
    • Enroll in Wireless Priority Service. T-Mobile automatically enrolls the primary account holder when T-Priority is added.
  • Here’s how it works. Think of the slice like a traffic cop. It’s always directing network traffic to ensure first responders have the best possible experience. It ensures they get lower latency and faster 5G speeds more consistently for data-intensive communications tools—giving them up to five times the network resources of the average user.

     

  • Wireless Priority Service (WPS) supports public safety and first responders who maintain our nation’s critical infrastructure or respond to national security and disaster situations. WPS is administered by the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), a division of the Department of Homeland Security. T-Mobile is an authorized service provider of WPS.

    For primary account holders on any First Responder plan that adds T-Priority, we automatically register their voice line for WPS through the CISA—at no additional charge.

  • The WPS government program prioritizes 4G/LTE. T-Priority offers voice and data priority on 5G SA, which has increased network speeds, reliability, bandwidth, and security.

    • State and local first responders who are active, pensioned retirees, or volunteers. Also, parents, children, or spouses of first responders killed in the line of duty. This includes the following:
      • Firefighters and Emergency Medical Technicians (E.M.T.)
      • Law enforcement, including state troopers, sheriffs, sheriff's deputies, and local police
      • Federal employees are not eligible at the moment

    • First responders must verify their status at my.t-mobile.com/profile within 45 days of plan activation, or their plan becomes Go5G with an additional cost of up to $20/line per month.
    • After activating a First Responder plan, it is important to ensure that the first responder, pensioned retiree, parent, child, or spouse of a first responder killed in the line of duty is designated as the primary account holder. Visit a local T-Mobile store, and the staff will walk through the process. If making the change over the phone and verification is needed, the status can be verified at my.t-mobile.com/profile.
    • Within 45 days of activation, the account holder must verify their first responder status, or the plan becomes Go5G™, Go5G™ Plus, or Go5G™ Next with no first responder discount, resulting in a price increase of up to $20/line per month.
    • In some cases, additional details or documentation may be requested to verify eligibility for the first responder status.
    • To remain on a Go5G First Responder, Go5G Plus, or Go5G Next plan, the primary account holder must re-verify their first responder status when requested. Re-verification will be asked annually.
  • The person who verifies they are a first responder must also be the primary account holder. The primary account holder will be asked to re-validate their first responder status every year.

  • Yes, the new Go5G First Responder plan is also available for small business customers. Find out more here: First Responder-owned small business plan.
