It's critical for T-Mobile users to carefully review their phone bills. In a test that T-Mobile is presently running, select users will automatically be switched to rate plans with higher prices unless they actively choose to opt out of the change. To guarantee that your preferred pricing plan continues to be in force, this endeavor has to be carefully monitored.
T-Mobile said in a statement to USA TODAY - "We haven’t kicked it off yet, this would be a small-scale test where we reach out to a small subset of customers who are on older rate plans to let them know they have the opportunity to move to newer, better plans with more features and more value,"
This rate increase impacts customers with older unlimited plans, including T-Mobile One, Simple/Select Choice, Magenta, and Magenta 55 Plus. These individuals will be transitioned to the Go5G plan.
The newly introduced plans entail a per-line cost increment of $10, which can be reduced to $5 per line with the auto-pay feature. The base cost for Go5G plans initiates at $75 monthly per phone line, inclusive of taxes and fees.
T-Mobile assures that eligible customers will receive communication before the changes are implemented, emphasizing that no alterations to customer accounts will occur until the specified commencement date.
How to opt out of the T-Mobile rate hike
T-Mobile provides customers with the flexibility to remain on their existing or equivalent plan if they wish to do so. To opt out of the proposed changes, customers may contact T-Mobile's customer service via phone.
T-Mobile, known for its consumer-centric "Un-carrier" branding, embarked on a wave of consolidation in 2020 through its acquisition of Sprint. This consolidation has, in some cases, limited options for consumers in the telecommunications market. In its new position as the nation's second-largest nationwide cell phone network, T-Mobile committed to a three-year rate freeze on plans in order to secure regulatory approval for the Sprint acquisition.
