Just received a text from T-Mobile that reads:
T-Mobile: For the first time in nearly a decade, we're making an update to the price of some of our older monthly service plans. Starting on 4/2/2025, your phone plan will increase by $5 per line per month. You'll keep all the benefits you currently enjoy, and your rate plan type and bill due date remain the same. For more information, visit...
Which lands at a page with the following:
At T-Mobile, you pay less and get more.
While some of our competitors have announced multiple price increases – 10 in two years between AT&T and Verizon – for the first time in nearly a decade, T-Mobile is making small adjustments to prices on some of our older monthly service plans.
Our commitment to delivering the best value isn't changing and never will. Even with these updates, T-Mobile customers still save an average of 20% compared to AT&T and Verizon on comparable wireless and streaming services—while continuing to enjoy America's leading 5G network and award-winning customer experience.
Thanks for being with us.

FYI I've been on Magenta for years. I currently pay $240/month for 10 lines (including some free lines) and 5G Home Internet.

I have been tracking my plan price before and after the price increase and after adding the free line. I noticed that it showed a $45 increase(9 lines) and now $50 (with 10 lines). This makes me think that perhaps all of the free lines won't be free after all; they would be $5 each. In other words, the free line $30 discount would remain the same, while the line cost would become $35.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank SouthPawNd
Even with the $5/line increase SC will be way cheaper (at least half as much) as their cheapest Go5G crap.
Once the rate is close to Verizon's I'm jumping ship. Upgraded to Pixel 9 and iPhone 16 so I'll be hanging around at least until I get all my credits

With this deal, after the increase, I've got T-Mobile One plan with 8 lines and will be paying $150 plus $8.50 for Netflix.
The way it breaks down is my original 4 lines from 2017 cost $45 each after the increase and after autopay discount. 3 of those lines get $10 kick back discount each for lower data usage. 3 lines were from previous 'get a line on us' deals which was confirmed to not be subject to the $5 increase. 1 of the lines is brand new with the BYOD free line I just took advantage of today.
I can't fault T-Mobile, good service, great international coverage when I travel (free data and texting).
