A formerly valuable T-Mobile perk offering free in-flight Wi-Fi on select airlines has diminished. The speaker notes that these airlines now offer free Wi-Fi to all passengers, often sponsored, diluting the exclusive benefit that T-Mobile customers once enjoyed.
“Also, some of the functionality from legacy carriers seems to be getting worse. T-Mobile used to have this amazing feature where you could get free Wi-Fi on, I think, Alaska, American, United, and maybe Delta. But now, all of those airlines have switched to either free Wi-Fi, sometimes free sponsored by T-Mobile, but not just for T-Mobile customers, or free Wi-Fi forever.”
“So that perk of having T-Mobile, which if you travel a lot, added up, kind of gone.”
