“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 same company that told me they would give me a $300 prepaid visa to switch. Then told me I had to stay a customer for 30 days before I would get it. And at 30 days told me I was outside the 30 day window to claim it?
I’m so surprised.
A few years ago I tried to buy a couple of phones at a T-Mobile store and the manager flatly refused to sell to me unless I also purchased their phone insurance monthly add on. The manager said he knew the practice was illegal but didn’t care.
The company is also famous for refusing to pay customers trade in value by fraudulently claiming phones have cracked screens and significant damage.
T-Mobile’s been a shit company for years.
In 2025 T-Mobile reported a net income (net profit) of $11.0 billion. Think of the poor shareholders!
Well, fuck. These companies move in step with one another and I’ve been paying the same 60-something per month since January 2007 before AT&T gobbled up Cingular.
Guess I’m probably next.
US Mobile is still in the “good prices, good service, be nice” phase of their existence. Buy out or enshittification should still be a few years off. It’s a fraction of the price of TMO’s new rates too.
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.
500MB of 5G is crazy, I use double or quadruple that in a day. Great way to be forced to use your phone less I guess. One of my favorite features of recent mobile plans is truly unlimited data with deprioritization once you hit a certain limit, as I’m almost never in a location where I get deprioritized.
When I’m back stateside I just grab one of those monthly unlimited sims for like $35 and forget about it. Dang, you could probably get away with that $10 Xfinity wifi if you have a voip number although coverage probably isn’t amazing.
Buddy, I live here and I have no idea what you’re talking about. If you’re telling the truth, I send me a link, because $35 for unlimited mobile data is a steal.
I think Mint offers that, similar deal with Xfininity mobile but you need to have an Xfinity cable subscription
Old TMobile user… Haven’t gotten the messages. Going to look into this.
The anti-consumer practices going on in business right now are becoming insane.
They don’t even hide it any more. Rug pulls left and right because fuck you.
“What are you going to do about it? Absolutely nothing.”
That’s their thought process.
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.
Now if you don’t mind I am going to beat off to all these crazy noncon-cheating stories I’ve been reading…
I wonder if there is AI porn of AOC
And I don’t need you to like me. I just need you to give in enough for us both to have a good time ;)
I know more women who take issue with trans than men.
The primary themes of women’s porn is cheating on their SO and getting “taken” by men and monsters. And “taken” is code for Non-consensual but not that they didn’t enjoy it.
Well if it is that easy to get away with…
Don’t take this user seriously. He’s all over Lemmy fantasizing about rape and being transphobic.
And the other user is cray cray not understanding what anyone says, or when others are no longer taking them seriously.
These are your comments. Calling me crazy doesn’t take away how often you fantasize about raping women openly.
Yup, right again. You totally understood it all…
I don’t need to understand hidden meanings or what you really meant, because what you said is clearly rape fantasies:

It’s not hidden, other people are saying to you too.
Do you think I give a shit what a man who fantasizes about holding women down and forcing his penis inside of her against her will and ignoring her screams and struggles thinks of me?
No other man is telling me about how he should go rape women like you do.
I’m on Visible and it’s great. Unlimited Verizon 5GUW priority data (on select plans). It actually costs the price advertised, no shitty fees or taxes.
https://www.visible.com/get/?66MG8D7 and if you sign up with this link I get a free month of service (=
That’s the price for Germany World Cup failure.
You know all the corporations are now thinking…“The prez lies with immunity. The precedent has been set. Let’s go boys…SELL SELL SELL !!”.
Class-action lawsuit time.
I have Cape and they have been great so far. I recommend them. I’ll leave some info below that I wrote in a privacy sub. Skip the first paragraph if you want to avoid their advertising scheme, but it was the big reason I could afford to switch to them so I thought I might be helpful to others. Here is my referral code for anyone that wants to try it: 8DHE3HVV
They are currently running an early adopter promotion until the end of the year where you get an unlimited plan that is $70 per month for life, and if you use someone else’s referral Code it drops you down to $50/month for as long as that person stays on Cape. What’s crazy is that it then drops to $30 for another referral, $10 after another, and $0 after that. For as long as those other people are on. I thought that was a pretty cool deal honestly given that I was previously paying $55 a month for T Mobile.
So a quick review from my experiences so far.
Sign up was easy and basically needed no identifying information. I use Cape on Graphene OS through the stock messaging app. It allows me to send videos, images, and so on. There are some issues with group chats still I think, but I havent really experienced any issues so far. The coverage and speeds have been solid.
The IMSI rotation is automatic and a great protocol. They have a bunch of other very smart architecture choices. I used to write patents for telecomm companies like Ericsson and Qualcomm and I’m really impressed with their engineering. My friend is an independent security pentester and educator, and their company recently audited Cape. They said they did excellently and had no reservations on recommending them to me. I also watched a lot of interviews about the company and their system. After that, I felt comfortable testing Cape out. My hope was that they would be way more reliable approach than my previous set up (I followed the Bazzell set up with Mint under a pseudonym and VoIP.ms but voip.ms has been really spotty lately and I have young kids so that’s no good).
I still have VoIP.ms for my old number, but I use my main Cape cell number for close family and friends who won’t get on Signal for whatever reason. They also give you two free burner numbers for texting only, so I use those for 2FA and sign ups if needed. You can only text to those numbers and you currently can’t port them out, but I believe they are middle to end encrypted (check me on that one though).
There are many other features and caveats (like they’re working on RCS, they have different available features for iPhone users, etc.), but I recommend their interviews with channels like the hated one or techlore or elsewhere. Those helped me a lot.
I’m happy to answer any other questions. It took me a while to decide to try them out because I’m pretty tedious about my privacy set up, but I’ve honestly been pretty impressed so far and I love the idea of having a mobile core telecomm company adopt some actual privacy architecture in this middle space.
I thought Lemmy was ad-free. Guess not.
I’m just a dude who wanted to recommend a service I liked. I hope anyone else looking for something like this appreciates learning about them, but feel free to scroll past if not. I moved from T mobile to Mint and then to Cape over time as I began to tweak my own more privacy oriented set up.
Sounds slightly pyramid shaped.
It definitely is, but from their perspective I think the average price is logarithmic towards $30 or so dollars? I did the logic at some point but its 2am where I am now and my brain is mashed potatoes so I forget. Either way, yes it is pyramidical, but for a limited time and a cap on gain, which changes the overall structure slightly.
Got the text this morning. God damn scammers.
Yes, they’re a company.
In the aughts, I had accumulated about $30 in debt, but managed it through consolidation programs, and got it down to about 3%.
Then the subprime mortgage crisis happened, and my creditors said sorry, but we’re fucking you over no matter what the contract says. Your interest rate is 12% and feel lucky we don’t raise it again.
Apparently companies will do that. I didn’t pay them at all and just waited seven years to wait out statute of limitations.
had accumulated about $30 in debt
Dude, how did you make it through?
I got the text today… Our bill will go up an extra $18/month. Great.
per line, so if you have family its so much higher.
It’s a $6 increase per line
This is some straight up MBA enshittificarion. I’m on the military plan with all unlimited yada yada, even then data is throttled down after a certain amount. Waiting for an email that says they’re supporting the troops by increasing the amount we can contribute to the economy or some shit.
Yeah, I’m a bit pissed that the military plan is changing. Bill for me is going up around $20.
