Yeah, the T-Mobile guys now have $$ instead of eyes. Long time ago they said their plans would be price locked. Last year they went back on their word and increased prices. Now their discontinuing legacy plans and other offers. Expect the rest to follow. For now, I'm looking to change to another carrier.

the only reason i'm with t-mobile is for the roaming international data included. I travel a lot. Even though the speeds are slow its still enough for me. I dont think there are any plans out there that beat t-mobile for included international data.

Over the years the international roaming speeds have became intolerably slow. Still a decent bargain, but nowhere near as good as when the international data roaming was functional on its own.

Good luck!

I have to leave since my 4 paid lines went up last year and now 9 lines aren't aligned for kickback. I averaged 60 or 70 off a month

Same. Trying to figure out how to save my sub to TMO with this $70/mo 'charge'. Got 4 EIP's (Pixel 10s) in March complicating matters. What free phone upgrades can we get on eligible free lines? Perhaps upgrade a bunch of EIP (can stack 4 of different promo codes per line) and sell phones to make up the added cost. I think I will try to upgrade an eligible free line thru Costco with the 2026 Moto G, and see if the promo stick on the One Plus Promo plan TI.
