T-Mobile Just Ripped 8 Million Customers Off Their Grandfathered Plans – and Raised Their Bills (www.gadgetreview.com)

“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.

T-Mobile has always been like this.

Every time I upgrade my phone they charge me an upgrade fee.

I'm like how are you charging me for spending money with you?

Unfortunately, compared to Verizon and AT&t they're better in many regards and that's saying a lot since they're crap.

"Of the people, by the people, and for the people" died long ago. The people don't have much say in a government run by oligarchs and corporations.

Exploiting the people by corporations for profits.
