What "This That and More" Means for Your Mobile Phone Plan

This That and More is a flexible add-on for mobile phone plans in South Carolina

This That and More is an add-on package offered by certain mobile carriers that bundles together services beyond basic calling and texting. The exact contents depend on your carrier—it might include data allowances, streaming credits, device protection, or international calling. Rather than buying each service separately, you get them combined at a set monthly price.

The name itself signals that the package covers multiple things at once. It's designed for people who want more than a standard plan but don't want to hunt down each add-on individually. The trade-off is that you pay for the bundle whether you use every part of it or not.

Key Takeaways

• This That and More bundles multiple services—such as data, streaming, or device protection—into one add-on rather than forcing you to buy them separately.
• What's included in the bundle varies by carrier, so you need to check your specific carrier's offer before committing.
• The package costs a fixed monthly amount, which means you pay the same price whether you use all the services or only some of them.
• You can usually add or remove the bundle from your plan without changing your base phone service, though timing and fees depend on your carrier's terms.

What services are typically bundled together

A This That and More package might include high-speed data beyond your base allowance, credits toward streaming services like Netflix or Hulu, device protection or insurance, international calling or texting, or mobile hotspot capacity. Some carriers add cloud storage, tech support, or discounts on accessories.

The specific mix changes by carrier and sometimes by region. Before you commit, log into your carrier's website or call their customer service line to see exactly what's in the bundle they're offering you. Don't assume it includes something just because it sounds like it should—the name is catchy but vague on purpose.

How much it costs and what you save

This That and More bundles typically cost between $10 and $30 per month added to your base plan, though the exact price depends on your carrier and what's included. The point of bundling is that buying each service separately would cost more than the bundle price.

To know whether you're actually saving money, add up what you'd pay for each service on its own. If you'd spend $15 on extra data, $8 on streaming credits, and $7 on device protection separately, a $25 bundle saves you $5. But if you'd only use the data and streaming, you might be paying for protection you don't need.

When adding This That and More makes sense

The bundle works best if you use most of what's in it. If your carrier includes data, streaming, and device protection, and you actually stream video, use data regularly, and want phone insurance, then the fixed price is simpler and cheaper than buying each one separately.

It makes less sense if you only want one or two of the services. Paying $20 a month for a bundle that includes device protection when you only want extra data might cost more than buying extra data alone. Read the full list of what's included before you decide.

How to add or remove the bundle from your plan

Most carriers let you add This That and More through their website, mobile app, or by calling customer service. The process is usually quick—you select the bundle, confirm the monthly cost, and it takes effect on your next billing cycle or immediately, depending on the carrier.

Removing it is similarly straightforward. You can usually cancel through the same channels without penalty, though some carriers require you to keep it for a minimum period (like 30 days) before you can remove it. Check your carrier's terms before you add it so you know what flexibility you have later.

Questions to ask your carrier before you commit

Before you add This That and More, confirm exactly what's included in the bundle your carrier offers. Ask whether the data, streaming credits, or other services renew monthly or roll over if unused. learn about there's a minimum commitment period and what happens if you want to cancel.

Also ask whether the bundle is available on your specific plan type—some carriers only offer it with certain base plans. If you're thinking about switching carriers, ask whether they offer a similar bundle and what it includes, so you can compare the total cost of service across providers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use the streaming credits with any streaming service?

That depends on your carrier. Some bundles give you credits that work with specific services like Netflix or Hulu, while others give you general credits you can use with multiple platforms. Check your carrier's terms to see which services are covered and whether credits expire if you don't use them each month.

What happens to unused data or credits if I don't use them?

Policies vary by carrier. Some services roll over to the next month, while others expire at the end of your billing cycle. A few carriers let you carry over data but not streaming credits. Ask your carrier specifically about rollover before you sign up, so you know whether unused portions are wasted.

Is device protection the same as insurance?

Not always. Device protection might cover accidental damage and theft, while insurance might have different deductibles or exclusions. Read what your carrier's bundle actually covers—damage, theft, loss, water damage, and deductibles all vary. Compare it to standalone phone insurance if you want to know whether the bundle price is competitive.

Can I add This That and More to a family plan?

Most carriers allow you to add the bundle to a family plan, but it typically applies to the entire plan rather than individual lines. Some carriers let you add it to specific lines instead. Contact your carrier to see how they handle bundles on family accounts and whether you can customize it per line.

What if I want only part of what's in the bundle?

You can usually buy services separately instead of taking the bundle. Compare the cost of buying just the data, or just the streaming credits, against the bundle price. Sometimes the bundle is cheaper even if you skip one service; sometimes buying à la carte is better. Do the math for your situation before you decide.
