T-Mobile Just Ripped 8 Million Customers Off Their Grandfathered Plans – and Raised Their Bills (www.gadgetreview.com)

“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.

Any adult who cares what kind of phone another adult has needs to grow up and get a life.

Glad your nephew thinks for himself.

thinking for yourself isn't very advantageous when everyone hates you for it.

Is it really everyone in your family or just a few busybodies who bully everyone else into conformity?

In my family it's the latter but I've accepted being the odd one out and being happy instead of being approved of by people who don't respect my autonomy.

no it's everyone. my family is small and hyper-conformist. they basically abused their children into conformity. anytime their kids ever wanted to do something 'weird' like, not play baseball, they basically abused them back into conformity.

it's typical american suburbanite 'normal'. they think i'm a libertine degenerate because I am single and living in a city and drive a small car and eat vegetables.

I'm from small town Oklahoma. I understand the type of people that you describe.

Some of my family is the same way. I, like you decided to live my own life and never had a close relationship with more than a couple of family members.

Hope your nephew is strong enough to withstand the pressure and live his own life when he's an adult like you have.
