T-Mobile Will Discontinue some Legacy Plans

[21stNow]

Tmonews is reporting that T-Mobile will discontinue some of their legacy plans. Affected customers will be notified by letter and T-Mobile will select a plan that the customer will be switched to. It is unknown at this time which plans will be discontinued. Apparently there will be special pricing for this situation, so the plan pricing that each customer will get can vary. This is just a heads-up to the AC community.

I wonder if this is because of their new international roaming. I went in to T-Mobile to see if my plan would have intl roaming on it and was told that, because it's a "newer" plan, it would, even though it's not a Simple plan.

BTW, like your avatar!

How does a company discontinue 'some' legacy plans?

Thanks purpledog; I like yours, too!

took2089, it seems like T-Mobile will keep the Value plans that are technically legacy plans at this point. But I'm hearing that customers who have been there at least 3-4 years will be switched to the new plans. I've been with T-Mobile just over three years on Even More Plus, so I'm waiting to see if/how this will affect me.

I'm interested in which plans and cost TMo moves people into. It would be great if people post the from-to information when thet get moved. Since the new plans are unpublished and unavailable to the general public I would like to see what they are offering.

I hope that I get it. I was told a while ago that I'm a grandfather plan but now I've been with them only a year in a half. I know that they are also letting people cancel without fee's by Feb 1 if they're not happy. I hope I do get it. Please if anyone has more info post!

My favorite place to read up on tmobile news is tmonews.com, I read there that many of those with grandfathered plans will get a discount or pay higher but get more. I'm rather jealous that I just switched from the classic plan to simple choice, I guess the choice for me has really been made simple. Good luck to you guys with grandfathered plans.

Here is a link to the news if you want to read.

Well, that is not bad when you consider the 2.5GB plan usually costs $60.

Sounds like an upgrade, not a forced migration.

My gripe with tm is that im supposedly in a HSPA 20+ market and all i can pull down most the time is 5 mps using a nexus 5 and when i travel to less populated areas my coverage turns to ****. This situation gives me an opportunity to ditch my two year contract and go prepaid with tm or a carrier with better coverage.
