Breaking: T-Mobile To Force Migrate Over 8 Million Customers To More Expensive Plans

Key Points:

• T-Mobile plans to forcibly migrate customers on legacy Simple Choice and ONE plans to newer plans, potentially affecting Magenta plan customers and business accounts as well.
• The company will increase voice line costs by $6 per line, tablet and watch lines by $3, and 5G Home Internet lines by $6, with potential total price hikes reaching $30 or more per account.
• The popular Kickback promotion, offering $10 off per line for low data usage on the ONE plan, will be discontinued, potentially adding up to $80 in increased costs for some customers.
• Contrary to earlier speculation, T-Mobile is not introducing new competitive plans but is instead raising prices and removing perks from existing loyal customers, risking customer dissatisfaction and defections.
• These changes will take effect two weeks after announcement, giving customers limited time to explore alternatives such as Verizon’s new Simplicity plan or prepaid options.
