Boost Mobile has free unlimited streaming of Spotify using any of their plans. I've have been using Spotify Free for a long time and it's great. I finally got tired of ads and switched to Spotify Premium. In 5 days flat, Spotify used almost all of my mobile data (5GB). 40MB/hour (normal quality) 70MB/hour (high quality) 150MB/hour (extreme quality) Spotify is a great platform to use for listening to your favorite music and podcasts. However, like any other streaming service, Spotify does use data, and if you’re on a low-limit cell phone plan, or you are worried about using all of your high-speed data, you might be very concerned with just how much data Spotify uses. Spotify Free users can choose 160 kbps high quality while Premium users 320 kbps. If the high quality doesn't suit your needs on enjoying Spotify, then you can set the Spotify Equalizer to enhance the sound quality. How to Set Music Equalizer for Enjoying Spotify Music. Re: Is Spotify still data free streaming? If you decide to switch to a current in-market offer, then I'm afraid you'll no longer have access to data-free streaming. Your service would have the Free Music streaming Add-on (which is no longer being offered).
Spotify is a digital music service that gives you access to millions of songs. Visit the Microsoft Store to download. Bring your music to mobile and tablet, too. Listening on your phone or tablet is free, easy, and fun. One account, listen everywhere.
Spotify needs a WiFi or mobile data connection to work.
Mobile data
It’s best to use WiFi instead of mobile data.
If you can’t use WiFi but want to keep mobile data usage low, use Data Saver.
Data Saver reduces the app’s data usage by showing fewer images and reducing audio quality.
More ways to reduce mobile data usage:
![]() Videos
Videos use more data than music due to larger file sizes, but our data usage is comparable to other popular video channels.
Videos on podcasts
Some podcasts feature videos. You can’t turn these videos off, but they only play when you have them on-screen. If you navigate away from the podcast or lock your device, only the audio plays.
Note: When downloading a podcast, only the audio is downloaded, not the video.
Now playing moving visuals
The moving visuals in Now Playing is a feature called Canvas - a unique form of artistic expression on Spotify.
These are short and looping, so use very little data. After they’ve looped once, they don’t need any more data to keep playing. They also don’t continue to run in the background.
If don’t want Canvas, you can switch it off:
Bandwidth
The app uses some of your device’s internet bandwidth to play music without buffering.

Un-carrier adds sixteen new services to Binge On and Music Freedom,
including Amazon Music, ESPN Radio, Nickelodeon, Spike, TV Land and more
Bellevue, Washington — April 5, 2016 -- T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) today launched another major expansion to both Music Freedom and Binge On, the Un-carrier’s wildly popular music and video streaming initiatives. Starting today, Amazon Music, ESPN Radio and more music services stream free for T-Mobile customers, and Dailymotion, EPIX, Nickelodeon, Spike, TV Land and more video services are joining the list of providers streaming free to T-Mobile customers on qualifying plans with Binge On.
With today’s additions, more than 100 music and video services now stream free to T-Mobile customers, including Amazon Video, HBO NOW, Hulu, Netflix, SlingTV and YouTube as well as Apple Music, Google Music, Pandora, Rhapsody and Spotify.
In his latest video blog, T-Mobile CEO and president John Legere underscores how Music Freedom and Binge On have radically changed the way T-Mobile customers watch video and listen to music:
“It’s a fact … Un-carrier Data is different than Carrier Data. It’s better! Nobody does data like T-Mobile!” said Legere. “Un-carrier Data is not only faster, it lasts a lot longer than the other guys… As of today, you stream unlimited music and video from over 100 providers – without ever touching your Un-carrier Data or worrying about overages—and you can stash what you don’t use for later. Try that with Carrier Data. It’s gone in a flash, and you’re getting hit with penalties—or they repossess it after a month or two. Ridiculous!”
Over the past three years, T-Mobile has rolled out a steady drumbeat of Un-carrier moves to change wireless for good – and then “amped up” several of those moves. Taken separately, these moves have fixed major customer pain points and created incredible value. Taken together, they represent a real consumer revolution in wireless and created fundamental differences between Un-carrier Data and data from the carriers. Un-carrier Data not only rides on the nation’s fastest LTE network, but it also comes with unlimited music and video streaming from participating providers, no overages, worry-free roaming and the ability to stash your unused data to use up to a year later.
About Music Freedom
Music Freedom was introduced in June 2014 as T-Mobile’s sixth major Un-carrier move. With Music Freedom, T-Mobile Simple Choice™ customers can stream all the music they want — without ever touching their high-speed data – at no extra charge. When launched, Music Freedom included seven music streaming services.
Starting today, Amazon Music, Chilltrax, ESPN Radio, OHIO.FM, PreDanz and Uforia now stream free to T-Mobile customers with Music Freedom. Altogether more than 40 services – including the top streaming services and a wide array of niche and regional providers – are part of Music Freedom, covering a full 96% of all music streamed by T-Mobile customers.
