“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.

I thought Lemmy was ad-free. Guess not.

I'm just a dude who wanted to recommend a service I liked. I hope anyone else looking for something like this appreciates learning about them, but feel free to scroll past if not. I moved from T mobile to Mint and then to Cape over time as I began to tweak my own more privacy oriented set up.
