I just received my text that my plan will be going up $5 per line. I checked in my T-Mobile plan options and the new price is already there.

If your are a resident of Texas, T-Mobile cannot raise your rates until April 1st, 2025: https://www.texasattorneygeneral....int-merger

If you get this price hike notification and are a Texan, please file a complaint with the state attorney general's office and an informal FCC complaint citing the settlement between the state of Texas and the merged/new T-Mobile.

There are several other states that also negotiated 5 years of no price increases through various attorney generals and PUCs. However, most states were spineless and only got the 3 year protection agreed to by T-Mobile, Sprint, the FCC, the courts, and the US attorney general on April 1st, 2020... enabling the merger with laughable divestures claiming a 4th new carrier would appear out of thin air.

What is your legacy plan? How much did each line go up by?

Here's the latest article. It says $2-$5 each line. I guess I can live with that if they start allowing legacy plans to get phone deals too, which sucks since we've been excluded on 99% of phone deals unless we're on the latest plans. It's still the best pricing for me since I have 5 lines on SCNA 10GB family match plan with a 15% corporate discount, so paying around $30 per line with taxes

Each line is now $2 more with no increase in benefits. No longer the Uncarrier...

It's actually $5 increase per voice line per month for older (non Go5G) plans, $2 for devices. Check r/Tmobile Reddit for more info.

Thumbs up not because this a deal, but because affected people need to know about the increase.

Yup! Got a text from T-Mobile today letting me know my plan will increase $5 per line. I originally read it as just a $5 increase on total bill but looked at it again after reading your post and indeed it's $5/line.

I'm assuming free lines done get the $5 increase. Might look at Xfinity mobile now, but not sure it will be better because of the free line with T-Mobile.

According to some reddit comments, "free" lines seem unaffected.

Remember when Tmobile super pinky swore they wouldn't raise rates as part of getting approved to buy Sprint?

Shocked. SHOCKED I tell you.

That'll make my plan go to 170 for 4 lines unlimited... Any better deals at other carriers?

Got notified I'll be getting $5/line/month increase on my "ONE" plan, which included a price lock guarantee. Maybe the price lock wasn't really in the contract, just in the advertising, but this feels like it should have some legal issues.
