T-Mobile’s latest price hike is official; who will be affected and when?
Are you affected and when will the price increase arrive? Here's what we know.
- 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. The support page doesn’t specify which legacy plans will be affected, but a megathread on Reddit sheds some extra light on the situation.
Notifications are now starting to go out to T-Mobile customers who will see an increase early next month. Reportedly, this rate hike shouldn’t apply to those who experienced the first round of increases. Based on early user reports, at least some T-Mobile Magenta, Magenta Max, and One Plan users have been affected so far. It’s likely there could be other plans impacted as well.
