This sounds like an ad but I switched our family to US Mobile from Tmobile even though we were on a grandfathered plan. 5 lines for $23ish each after taxes and fees and we're on the verizon towers.

So if you're not on those plans, then you don't need to do anything?

T-Mobile Is Forcibly Moving Those on Older Plans to Some of Its Newer Ones in November..

This made my decision to switch easier. AT&T is currently at a very good price with phone upgrade.

Details on link below.

This is a major breach of T-Mobile's brand !

I will be opting out to remain on my current plan....but also keeping one eye open to switch when the time is right for me.

Previously, I was brand-loyal to T-Mobile and wasn't looking at alternatives.

I see Mint Mobile or US Cellular as viable alternatives.
