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.

Your comment cannot be blank.

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.
