“T‑Mobile will never change the price you pay for your T‑Mobile ONE plan.” That was the promise. The Un-contract. The whole reason millions of customers picked the magenta team over Verizon and AT&T in the first place. Now T-Mobile is retiring legacy 3G and 4G-era plans — Magenta, ONE, Simple Choice — and automatically moving customers onto “modern” 5G plans at higher monthly costs. Billing changes hit mid-July for the current wave. The company that swore it would never surprise you with a rate hike just sent the notification.
The modern consumer has a spine made from jello. They’ve had company after company fuck them over but rather than slightly inconvenience themselves to find an alternative or do without, they’ll just bend over and get fucked.
People have forgotten that they’re the power and companies can be told to go eat shit.
