Discussion - Why forced T-Mobile plan migration is worse than it looks

The only improvement I see is extra Hotspot and international data (both of which I use, but rarely), but I'm paying an extra $3, so it's not exactly just a plan name change.

Fortunately my devices were all paid off, so I canceled my entire account last week and moved everything to consumer Cellular. I'm old.

25 year customer with sprint/T-Mobile. 2 price hikes in less than a year and zero real incentives for long time customers. I'm outta here. Switching today.

You do realize all the companies do the same thing right? ATT just raised their prices last month. Verizon has been expensive forever. So unless you are switching to mint, consumer cellular, or any of those lower tiered carriers you will be paying pretty much the same price. Sure you might get a better phone promotion because you are switching but you will be back at square one after a couple years. Not saying it isn't worth it, just saying you won't be a whole lot better off.

It's better over here___hahaha. Since they took over uscelluar service sucks! Never had a problem with uscellular. Can make or recieve calls, download speed went from 12 gig to1.5. Only suggestion has been activated wifi calling. That don't work when internet does not work here. Tmobile is just taking customers money without providing service! I hate tmobile!

The Un Carrier has turned into the Uber Carrier

Hearing good things about Visible which runs of the VW towers. If you pay a year in advance its about 32 dollars/line and has prioritized tower access with a decent amount of hot spot, fast HD streaming, canada/mexico coverage, unlimited data etc.. People say its as good as carrier access. IMO, some of the MVNO's are really good and for the most part 95 percent of users won't know any difference as long as you get a mid tier MVNO plan. I managed to get T mobile to give me 6 more months to keep my legacy plan the same. I told them otherwise I was going to start arbitration with t mobile and if they did not respond to the FCC. They don't want that as the wording was very strong from 2017-2019 price for life. They built their business on that push. There will be settlements coming forward but T mobile will keep it out of the courts. And believe me they will pay any amount it takes. I think they would lose that case under the fairness of advertising laws. But when my discount ends I'm off to Visible.

Where u go

We've been customers for>20 years, and have had the one of the 'One' plans, with an international calling plan for 4 lines. With the kickback it has cost about $110 per month. TMO increased the 'per line' fee and now they've killed off the kickback. If it weren't for the international roaming, we'd be leaving tomorrow.

But, I have started to look into options. The free data roaming/text is nice but TMO is behaving like the others and are hurting those who have been committed for years.

T mobile offered to move me into a plan that costs the same as Verizon's new plan, but with even fewer features and less data. Much less. I'll be looking at MVNOs now.
