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.

I got the text re: $5 per line.

I understand it certainly means each voice line.

Does it also include a HOME INTERNET LINE?
Does it also include a Sim Card Data Line?

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.

Where did it state the price lock guarantee? Thanks

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

That's about what we pay with Verizon. 4 unlimited lines with free apple music/Apple arcade/ Disney Plus & ESPN+.

Because they need to make more profits compared to last quarter/year.

This would be ideal, Verizon coverage seems so much better in the rural areas of my state!

Look into MVNOs like US Mobile. Lot cheaper.

See 2017 press release for One Plan ( https://www.t-mobile.com/news/pre...rrier-next ), specifically the Un-contract paragraph, which states:

Today, T-Mobile introduced the Un-contract for T-Mobile ONE – and notched another industry first with the first-ever price guarantee on an unlimited 4G LTE plan. With the Un-contract, T-Mobile signs, and customers hold all the power. Now, T-Mobile ONE customers keep their price until THEY decide to change it. T-Mobile will never change the price you pay for your T-Mobile ONE plan. When you sign up for T-Mobile ONE, only YOU have the power to change the price you pay.

Of course a press release (for 4G LTE) is not a contract, but now we know what the Un-contract means and what it means when T-Mobile "signs" it.
