Something Bad Is Coming For Legacy T-Mobile Customers

All the signs of a pending price increase for legacy customers are here. Here's what we speculate could happen.

It's All Over Reddit Too?

Do you have one of those legacy T-Mobile plans? If so, which one? Will you switch to a different carrier if T-Mobile raises their price? If so, which carrier will you switch to?

 

[me just saying]

Wasn't this announced a couple of months ago? or is this another one?

This sucks. My plan is so old, I don't even remember what it's called LOL. All I know is I'm paying $140(ish)/month for 4 lines of unlimited everything. I have no idea what current T-Mobile plans would cost us, but I guess I should familiarize myself with what they have to offer ...

Oh no... Legacy as well. I actually changed my phone # for a "new line" to get on my parents plan for a TOTAL of 100$. Unlimited Everything. Plus, switched a sim to my old iPad Air 1 (12.5.7) Cellular access. They do not get gr8 reception when in the mountains of PA., but over all decent.
So CHEAP

It's always just been a matter of time. I'm actually surprised I've been able to keep my old Magenta plan this long. I've toyed with the idea of moving over to Google Fi, but I've had a solid experience with T-Mobile over the years, and their international perks are really nice (free texting and 5 GB of high speed data/month in a lot of countries without having to add anything onto the plan), so I'll probably just accept the price increase.

Just received a text. Mine's increasing $5 a month.

And so it begins...

My increase is also $5.00 per month, per line. I have 2 lines, so 120.00 a year.

I lost my $10.00 a month auto pay credit last July, as I didn't want to change from a credit card remittance & give them my bank info for auto withdrawals. (They leak data like water running through a colander.) So in less than a year, I'm seeing a $240.00 annual increase.

That could be quite painful for someone with several lines.

I had a leftover data line (Tab S8+) after we moved our phone lines to AT&T last summer. There were a couple of installment payments left on the device and I got a notice today that it was going up $2/mo. Paid off the device and cancelled the line. No hurt feelings, just clearing the deck.
