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.

I am using Cloaked wireless which allows me to pay my bill in Monero. I get unlimited talk, text, and data, with 500 megabytes of that data being 5G speed, and the rest of it being at 256kbps, with a possible raise to 512kbps coming in the future.

Anyone upset about this should consider prepaid service. I've been on prepaid service (a couple of different companies over the years) for almost 15 years and haven't had any serious issues.

I have, however saved serious money.
