Just received a text from T-Mobile that reads:

T-Mobile: For the first time in nearly a decade, we're making an update to the price of some of our older monthly service plans. Starting on 4/2/2025, your phone plan will increase by $5 per line per month. You'll keep all the benefits you currently enjoy, and your rate plan type and bill due date remain the same. For more information, visit...

Which lands at a page with the following:

At T-Mobile, you pay less and get more.
While some of our competitors have announced multiple price increases – 10 in two years between AT&T and Verizon – for the first time in nearly a decade, T-Mobile is making small adjustments to prices on some of our older monthly service plans.
Our commitment to delivering the best value isn't changing and never will. Even with these updates, T-Mobile customers still save an average of 20% compared to AT&T and Verizon on comparable wireless and streaming services—while continuing to enjoy America's leading 5G network and award-winning customer experience.
Thanks for being with us.

FYI I've been on Magenta for years. I currently pay $240/month for 10 lines (including some free lines) and 5G Home Internet.

I have been tracking my plan price before and after the price increase and after adding the free line. I noticed that it showed a $45 increase(9 lines) and now $50 (with 10 lines). This makes me think that perhaps all of the free lines won't be free after all; they would be $5 each. In other words, the free line $30 discount would remain the same, while the line cost would become $35.

Quote from RedElmo :
It's because you ran out of the $5 auto pay discount. It caps off at 8 lines.

Free lines are free. (I guess technically if under 8 lines)
Autopay has nothing to do with this. They're seeing an increase in the plan cost, the $40 Autopay discount is a separate line item.

I experienced the same thing, albeit last year. My plan cost went up by $45 for 9 lines but the free line credits remained at $30. Which effectively made my free lines not free anymore, they cost $5 now.

My bill will be generated next week, so we'll see what happens. When I changed my plan from 8 to 9-12 in 2021, my BOGO line discount stayed at $25. I'm not optimistic this time, but we'll know more soon. Since you're on a ONE plan, I'd like to know about your add-ons. I currently have Netflix on the US add-on for $11.00, but I also see a free Netflix with ads option as an available add-on. Based on this page, https://www.t-mobile.com/tv-strea...lix-on-us, It seems the free add-on isn't available on the ONE plan, but I'm considering switching to it and removing the $11.00 plan. However, just don't want to mess up all the other discounts or plan.
