“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.
Look at MVNOs. They use the big three networks (Verizon, T-Mobile, AT&T) but are much cheaper because you are not paying the uninformed tax.
If T-Mobile does this I’m gone. SimpleChoice had free international roaming which we use yearly when we visit family. Everyone on my family plan uses it and It was an amazing feature at the time now they charge per month, per line. Been on T-Mobile for 19 years.
Friendly reminder that 5G service availability in the US is still dogshit and often incurs packet loss which you can mitigate by disabling 5G which forces your device to operate at 4G/LTE which has a superior range.
Of course they could have set a software preference for LTE over 5G when PL is detected, but that advanced technology used by literally every other multiband radio standard is too complicated for billion dollar OEMs and service providers to implement.
The continued enshitification continues.
You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.
I get this, we have retired 3G and people bought unlimited 4G 10/month packages which are defo going to be retired at some stage.
The one I cant figure out is the home fibre, a new crowd offer 500gb speeds for 30/month for life. It would take a long time for that bandwidth to become antiquated.
I was on tmo for 15 years. Switched to Mint and am paying less for both phone and home internet and its tmo’s network still. Unless you’re taking advantage of some of their odd benefits there no reason to stick with them.
USMobile. I prepaid for a year of unlimited service for my wife and I for under $500 total with two lines of service for each phone (AT&T and T-Mobile). I just checked and it was $240 each or $195 for just one line. They’re always running promotions.
TMO owns mint. I wonder how long mint plans will stay at their same price
My wife’s been on mint for 7 years now, this year they decreased the price of her plan slightlyand added more GBs. I think this is the 3rd time they increase her monthly GBs but the first time they decrease the price
Great, where we supposed to go now? Cape?
Safaricom is actually dope
I’ll switch again.
