Phone storage is something that you can drain almost immediately if you're not careful with how you manage it. All those photos and videos you take could take up most of your phone's storage, more than your apps ever will.
However, there may be a solution in the future; T-Mobile is offering its unlimited Google Photos storage following Google's removal of the service almost a year ago.
The company recently announced that it is offering its previous Google One membership option with unlimited Google Photos storage again for a price.
The offer will be available exclusively to T-Mobile customers that are availing of the company's qualified services.
T-Mobile Unlimited Google Photos Storage Details
According to T-Mobile's announcement, the company's customers who are availing of services qualified to receive the plan can get unlimited Google Photos storage and an additional 2TB of Gmail and Google Drive storage for $15 per month.
This plan is perfectly suited for unofficial family photographers and video enthusiasts to keep a lifetime of trips, pet videos, and family memories saved in one place, per T-Mobile.
T-Mobile's storage plan specifically allows T-Mobile customers to store photos and videos in full resolution and phone backups in case of accidents.
The plan will also let a T-Mobile customer access their content from any device, redeem extended trials for Google services like YouTube Premium and Stadia, access advanced photo-editing features, VPN access from Android and iOS phones, and share the 2TB of storage and extra benefits with up to five additional people.

This particular offer will be available exclusive to T-Mobile customers starting April 26. However, T-Mobile didn't make it clear if the plan will stay for good or if it will be available for a limited time.
What is actually limited, however, is its offer to get the first 30 days of T-Mobile's Google One plans free. After which, customers would start paying the regular price of their plan.
T-Mobile's Other Google One Plans
The telecom company also offers two other Google One plans to T-Mobile customers. Although these plans have a lower price tag than the plan previously discussed, they don't come with unlimited Google Photos storage.
The five-dollar plan comes with 500GB of storage which could be used to back up a device or shared with five additional people. It also comes with access to advanced photo-editing features and the ability to redeem extended trials for Google services.
The $10 plan provides 2TB of storage along with the same perks as the five-dollar plan. Unlike the five-dollar plan, the $10 one comes with VPN access for Android and iOS devices.
Unlimited Google Photos Storage In The Past
According to an article from The Verge, Google previously offered unlimited Google Photos storage in 2015 but was removed due to a change to Google Drive policies like counting Google Workspace documents and spreadsheets against the same cap.
The free storage allowed users to store an unlimited number of files at a resolution of up to 16 megapixels or 1080p videos for free, per a separate The Verge report.
The service was previously rumored to be coming back in May 2021 but turned out to be a false alarm, according to Review Geek.
