  • T-Mobile is increasing prices on legacy plans by $5 per line starting April 2, though not all plans are affected. Impacted customers are now starting to receive notifications.
  • Plans with a true Price Lock Guarantee won’t be impacted, but those under the newer Uncontract Promise may see increases.
  • Customers can either pay the increase, switch to another T-Mobile plan, or change carriers — with options like Mint Mobile, Metro by T-Mobile, or Google Fi offering potential savings.

Just a week after T-Mobile’s CEO hinted that prices on legacy plans would see further increases this year, it’s now official. T-Mobile has updated its website with news of a $5 increase set to take effect on April 2. In a statement to us from T-Mobile, the carrier clarified this isn’t a new price increase but is essentially a wrap-up on adjustments that were started last year on some of the older rate plans.

The linked support page doesn’t specify which legacy plans will be affected, but a megathread on Reddit sheds some extra light on the situation.
