“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.

11 hoursIf 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.

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.
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.

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.

Thats 500mbs or half a gig right? No one’s offering 500 gigs lol.

Not a happy customer, between this and the talk of Musk buying T-Mobile :(
- curbstickle@anarchist.nexusEnglish19 hours
Now that would get me to leave immediately, and ive been with T-Mobile for at least 15 years, maybe 20 at this point.
Yup. If Musk touches it, I’m gone. I’ll just have to pay for my MLB TV subscription and get more reliable cell service. Not much of a loss there.
Afaik Deutsche Telekom will do anything so that this will not happen.

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.

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

T-Mobile bought the parent company of Mint 2 years ago, its wholly owned by T-Mobile now.

From the downvotes, I see TMo shareholders have infiltrated Lemmy

A whole whopping 2 downvotes. No one from T-Mobile is here trying to sabotage some random lemmy post.
Hey t mobile! I like money! Give me money and I’ll vote and shill for you
Aww who am I kidding we all know I’ll blow the money on crab sandwiches and chowder

Nobody said sabotage but you. I just noted their presence as something to keep an eye upon. I wasn’t even all that serious - certainly not as serious as you seem to have taken it.
ETA: Hmm, now that I think if it, maybe that’s telling… 🤔🤪

It could be bots, theres a bunch of bot accounts that just upvote and downvote at random, some never post, some posted months ago and voted 10,000 times since.
