If T-Mobile does this I'm gone. SimpleChoice had free international roaming which we use yearly when we visit family. Everyone on my family plan uses it and It was an amazing feature at the time now they charge per month, per line. Been on T-Mobile for 19 years.

Look at MVNOs. They use the big three networks (Verizon, T-Mobile, AT&T) but are much cheaper because you are not paying the uninformed tax.
I get this, we have retired 3G and people bought unlimited 4G 10/month packages which are defo going to be retired at some stage.
The one I cant figure out is the home fibre, a new crowd offer 500gb speeds for 30/month for life. It would take a long time for that bandwidth to become antiquated.
Thats 500mbs or half a gig right? No one's offering 500 gigs lol.
Friendly reminder that 5G service availability in the US is still dogshit and often incurs packet loss which you can mitigate by disabling 5G which forces your device to operate at 4G/LTE which has a superior range.
Of course they could have set a software preference for LTE over 5G when PL is detected, but that advanced technology used by literally every other multiband radio standard is too complicated for billion dollar OEMs and service providers to implement.
The continued enshitification continues.
continually.
Go on.
You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.
Not a happy customer, between this and the talk of Musk buying T-Mobile :(
Afaik Deutsche Telekom will do anything so that this will not happen.
Now that would get me to leave immediately, and ive been with T-Mobile for at least 15 years, maybe 20 at this point.
Yup. If Musk touches it, I'm gone. I'll just have to pay for my MLB TV subscription and get more reliable cell service. Not much of a loss there.
I was on tmo for 15 years. Switched to Mint and am paying less for both phone and home internet and its tmo’s network still. Unless you’re taking advantage of some of their odd benefits there no reason to stick with them.
TMO owns mint. I wonder how long mint plans will stay at their same price
My wife's been on mint for 7 years now, this year they decreased the price of her plan slightlyand added more GBs. I think this is the 3rd time they increase her monthly GBs but the first time they decrease the price
I’ll switch again.
Great, where we supposed to go now? Cape?
Safaricom is actually dope
i thought ryan reynolds owned mint
He needed money to buy a soccer team or something
Wrexham Football Club?
T-Mobile bought the parent company of Mint 2 years ago, its wholly owned by T-Mobile now.
hmmm will see, I'm month to month with a 15$ plan. been meaning to look into alternatives anyway.
