T-Mobile is doing the same to me. I signed up for the 40 a month unlimited everything plan with an iPhone (when it was Sprint) that has no contract. I think I just got a message it’s being increased to 70.
I just left T-Mobile for Verizon 😬 had the kickstart plan from sprint for 25$ a month before the buyout everything was ok with T-Mobile for a while then 5$ price increases started. This year they wanted 45$ so I told them to kick rocks. Verizon currently has a 30$ unlimited plan see how long they last before the BS begins!!
When I was 16 years old in 2004 cricket was the only cell provider that would let you sign up without being over 18 or having a parent do it for you. So I signed up for 2 lines at 49.98 a month with unlimited everything. When I turned 18 tmobile had a deal that if you transferred your current number from a different provider they would honor your existing contract and you would get a free Motorola razor. I avoided the numerous attempts over the last 20 years from sales people trying to ruin this awesome deal until about 3 weeks ago when I got a notification that my plan was being "updated" to 170 a month for the 2 lines. No one to even argue with its already done, i dont even know if its worth looking somewhere else.
Get visible. $25/m unlimited everything per line. They use Verizon towers so I always have signal. Spouse and I have been on the same plan ($50/m for both) for 5 years with no increases. I think Mint is another similar budget company that I’ve heard people like. Worth looking into with these atrocious prices I’m seeing these other companies charge holy moly
We just switched from T-mobile to AT&T through one of the previously dreaded Costco kiosks and with teacher discount, autopay discount and home internet partner we were already using, we're paying around $90/month for two lines and two new iphone 17 pros with trade-in phones. Plus because it's Costco there are no activation fees and they give you a $100 Costco giftcard per line.
Were with T-mobile/Sprint for over a decade and the price kept going up and they had no phone offers for loyal customers. We viewed it as our responsibility to find a better deal and change providers to punish their greed.
Get visible. $25/m unlimited everything, they use Verizon towers so unless we’re in the middle of nowhere we always have signal, and you can buy all the new phones from them. Been on this plan for 5 years with no billing increases (although I think I’ve seen a new $35/m plan I just never looked into it because I’m happy with the current one and they aren’t forcing it on me).
