T-Mobile Is Forcibly Moving Those on Older Plans to Some of Its Newer Ones in November. Key takeaway: You can Opt-out but have to call T-Mobile Customer Care to do so. My Magenta to Go5G basic plan would cost $240 more annually for the added additional bonus of…extra hotspot data. That’s it.

I have been on a $40 10 gig/mo prepaid plan for 10 years now. If they get rid of it, I’ll cancel it. I’m sure they will eventually.

I only use them because my account is grandfathered from like 2003. If they raise my rates then I’ll get a carrier that doesn’t suck

While it’s irritating that this shift is happening, TMob has been the best carrier I’ve had and have no desire of switching away.

Ny account is also grandfathered from 2010 and so far, I’ve heard that those who ask to remain on their current plan have had no issues, so long as they call the support number directly.
That will be my play the moment I receive the official notification.

I just spoke with a T-Mobile phone representative and he said they are able to start opting people out NOW, so you don’t need to wait until next week to call them.

What’s the point of a contractual agreement if the company can just arbitrarily change it and force customers into new pricing tiers that were locked by the contract?

If you’re in one of these affected plans you certainly no longer have a contract and can cancel at any time.

While I agree that this is outrageous, it is in the contract that people are signing that they can change this sort of thing.

Yeah that’s why contract law needs to be changed. It’s ridiculous that contracts can be written in such a way that it locks us in but allows them to change whatever they want, whenever they want. And if you don’t like it then tough shit, you can’t have a mobile phone.

Anyone who says Lemmy doesn’t have niche communities can go suck a fat one

T-Mobile has over 115 million customers, this isnt a niche community

Now something like “Wicket the Ewok Fan Community” would be niche

T-Mobile US Unofficial Lemmy Community

!tmobileus@lemmy.world

Create post

Unofficial Lemmy Community for all things related to T-Mobile US.

This Lemmy community is based on the r/tmobile subreddit.

Any moderator of r/tmobile that would like moderator access here feel free to send me a message.

Rules (currently copied from the T-Mobile subreddit):

  1. No doxxing

Do not post someone’s personal information. Not only is this against the rules here, it’s frowned upon lemmy-wide. Please don’t reveal any information that can be used to track someone down in real life. It just simply isn’t a nice thing to do. Examples might include the full name of any T-Mo employee who helped you, or something that could be used to put their job in jeopardy.

  1. Keep it cool

Simple. Just be excellent to each other. Don’t get too heated, don’t start tossing ad hominem attacks at people. Focus on the subject, not the person making the point. And if someone is legitimately trying to help you but you’re not getting the answer you want, please don’t lash out at people. We’re all trying to help to the best of our abilities.

  1. Don’t be negative

If you need help, please ask! If you’re going to complain, make it a constructive complaint. We are all here to help. Posts that are made to bash T-Mobile/Sprint/AnyCarrier/Person/System etc will be removed.

Posts that are purely negative and/or do not promote further conversation will be removed.

  1. Be ethical

Do not be unethical. This includes trying to avoid tethering limitations, offering to bribe employees for device unlocks, or recommending things that break the T&Cs.

  1. Stay on-topic

The purpose of this lemmy community is to discuss all things T-Mobile. Try and focus on T-Mobile when you make your post. Non-T-Mobile posts are allowed if the goal is a discussion about T-Mobile. Direct links to other carrier’s advertisements or press releases will likely be removed. Constructive criticism about T-Mobile is perfectly acceptable, but hate, memes, and pure bashing is not.

  1. _______ goes in the Megathread

Megathreads are used when popular topics begin generating lots of posts. If there is a megathread on a topic, that is where you post belongs. Please respect this subreddit by asking your question there first. An exception to this rule is if a major change or breaking news about a megathread topic occurs. Your post may be allowable then.

  1. No account sharing

Posts asking for or offering lines on someone elses account, personal or business, is prohibited.
