Are those who were adopted from Sprint with an unlimited plan affected?

So looking at the leaked migration plan... this could MAYBE... be a better deal for me...
I'm on simple choice, 1 line, unlimited everything and 2GB mobile hotspot, $47 a month after gov employee discount.

IF my plan only goes up $5 to $10 and I'm put on the magenta plan where i get 15gb mobile hotspot and Netflix... that doesn't seem like the worst deal ever to me. but i could be missing something here. and I am in the minority of beign only 1 line.

I switched to ATT earlier in the year, they suck, seriously. T-Mobile was way better in terms of signals strength and bandwidth. I'm even on Firstnet, and it's pretty much a joke.

First NET sucks. I can tell you that.

I'm wondering about the same thing. I have 10 lines migrated from Sprint. My current plan is unlimited. How will this be affected?

I am thinking the same. I have SC NA 6 lines and 1 watch. Watch and 2 lines are free so $180 to migrate to Magenta, where I get Netflix. So really about $10 more/months to get rid of future increases in taxes and fees. Only thing is will TMO force us to migrate again in the future

Posting here for greater visibility as folks have gotten great plans from SD historically . Mods feel free to move. Credit Jman100 at Reddit
https://www.reddit.com/r/tmobile/...der_plans/

T-Mobile is planning to force customers on the following plans to newer plans unless you opt out:

Magenta -> Go5G
One -> Go5G
Magenta 55+ -> Go5G 55+
Simple Choice / Select Choice -> Magenta or Essentials Select
Simple Choice Business -> Business Unlimited Advanced
Notifications about these changes begin to go out on the 17th to affected customers.

Customers will be moved to varying newer plans depending on the plan they are coming from.

Update: Plans that are not listed are NOT currently impacted. This includes premium variants of the listed plans, Sprint plans, etc. I've personally seen internal communications that confirm this.

Update 2 10/13/23: T-Mobile has hidden the SOC from the Services tab. It's now much more annoying to check if it's been applied. You can find new instructions for checking at this link. Side note: they're now calling it a "Gift" in the code name.

been posted a few times already...when I posted earlier, I did a search and didn't see it. I think mods should keep this in hot deals until 10/17 before moving so that people can more easily find the main thread

I'm already on Magenta and will be forced to Go5G. When they force you to Magenta, will they force you to Go5G? This makes no sense.

That's what I'm thinking. They will phase out Magenta eventually and force everyone to their newest plan

Just called 611 and asked for customer service rep. I asked to opt out. Opt out code was applied to my acct. I then asked for the $10 credit and that also was applied. I asked for an email confirmation, that hasn't shown up yet. I did get a text verifying the $10 credit.
