“T‑Mobile will never change the price you pay for your T‑Mobile ONE plan.” That was the promise. The Un-contract. The whole reason millions of customers picked the magenta team over Verizon and AT&T in the first place. Now T-Mobile is retiring legacy 3G and 4G-era plans — Magenta, ONE, Simple Choice — and automatically moving customers onto “modern” 5G plans at higher monthly costs. Billing changes hit mid-July for the current wave. The company that swore it would never surprise you with a rate hike just sent the notification.

    T-Mobile has always been like this.

    Every time I upgrade my phone they charge me an upgrade fee.

    I’m like how are you charging me for spending money with you?

    Unfortunately, compared to Verizon and AT&t they’re better in many regards and that’s saying a lot since they’re crap.

    I suppose this is what we get for letting monopolies exist within our country.

      “Of the people, by the people, and for the people” died long ago. The people don’t have much say in a government run by oligarchs and corporations.
