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.

I would not get their 5G wifi that has a price guarantee also as you can see a guarantee does not mean anything,
The consumer protection agency has been gutted ... so our protection may not be there. So that might be why they did it now.
Also I would expect that net neutrality might be the next things to go away so we can pay for usage. With the gas tax revenue going down due to electric cars in CA, the state is testing using a meter to record your milage and get revenue that way. So everyone wants their "fair" share. The city were I live, they just negotiated with PG&E to get the contract they would need to pay for 5 city workers ... not related to utilities. So through our electric costs, we get to automatically pay for 5 workers. I am not complaining about the 5 workers, but the strong arming that is occurring in order to get revenue and secretly passing it to consumers.
T-Mobile is not the first and won't be the last.

You're a fool then. Because you had a pricelock promise that T-mobile changed. Part of the updated terms when they changed the terms state if you make a payment you agree to the new terms... That's criminal. This POS company is beyond evil and flatout liars.
Only the first year. After that all free lines stay if you maintain a minimum of 2 paid lines.
They lied to you, I have been with them for over 10 years and got the text

Please guide me to a service where I get 8 lines with everything unlimited for $125 which actually work in most areas. Since you are so smart , do enlighten us with your knowledge.
