TL;DR T-Mobile has discontinued its partnership with Google for T-Mobile-exclusive Google One plans.
The highest tier plan offered unlimited full-resolution Google Photos storage.
Customers who previously subscribed are grandfathered in and retain the benefits, but no new enrollments are being accepted.
T-Mobile offers some great plans and deals, but it also provides T-Mobile Tuesday freebies and other occasional offers that make the carrier very attractive.

Sadly, if you hadn’t been able to take advantage of this perk before reading this article, you won’t be able to, as T-Mobile has now pulled this perk.

The plan cost $9.99 per month for 2TB storage, but when billed through T-Mobile, users received unlimited storage for photos and videos, which was also at full resolution! There were other lower-tier plans as well, but they only offered more storage, rather than unlimited storage.
