Discussion - I get what T-Mobile customers are going through, but they need to be careful what they wish for

It's not just talk. People do leave, like I did after 19 years.

And yes, TMO could lower prices if they wanted to, that would make them more, not less competitive. TMO s retail footprint is disappearing ( others may follow) and there are MVNOs with retail footprint ( consumer cellular).

Common sense people do not need " perks" and phone deals. The good reason not to go to MVNOs is the network priority ( but it's importance depends on location)and lack of things like scam filter.

People leave. We left T-Mobile after being with them since 2006. The prices got ridiculous and we left and saved over $1500/year

No matter what T-Mobile does, someone will complain. I have a great price and 2 flagship phones that T-Mobile subsidizes, I'm not about to leave. The fine print of the mvno's doesn't work for me, including everything from ridiculous limits to some that actually have no free roaming. I'll pay a little more and remain drama free.

I was loyal T-Mobile customer way back in 2017 T-Mobile One Plan and change it T-Mobile Magenta Plan First Responder for free Netflix was tax & fees included but they forcedly change my plan to Experience More First Responders Signature my plan went up so much so decided to move thru Total by Verizon $20 a month tax & fees included 5 years price guaranteed Unlimited Premium 5g Data that around 400Mbps in my area and free international roaming are also included but limited 300 minutes Call Outside United States , 10gb of Data & Unlimited Text while Outside United States I always travel a lot specially in Asia it work in South Korea, Japan & Philippines and 100gb Cloud are also free of charge

Lowering prices will only make T-Mobile more competitive not less. They had great prices during the One Plan and Magenta era.

MVNOs have come pretty far. Most of them offer great value for cheap prices. Just look at how good US Mobile is.
