55 + plan being stopped

I just found out that my 55 plus plan for two people is being stopped and done away with. I was paying $70 a month which included taxes and fees.

A new plan is called the experience signature 55 plus plan and will begin on July 21. T-Mobile was adding $6 more per line making the total price $82 plus taxes and fees. I was chatting with a T-Mobile rep who said the total price with the fees and taxes would come to anywhere between $90 and $95 per month.

I said I am a senior I fixed budget and what else could he give me. He offered a 6-month promotion of $10 per month which puts the final monthly tally at $72 per month not including taxes and fees.

I requested a 12-month promotion and he said he would check and got back and said 6 months is all that he got offer. I could check back every couple of months online and see what else might be available.

Am I getting the best deal for 55 plus through T-Mobile or is there anything else I should be looking at?

I don't want to switch to Consumer Cellular if they're going to slow me down during different times of the day. They do want for a $50 a month AARP senior plan for two and that includes fees and taxes I believe.

My 5G home internet access disappeared, but is available for business???

I was trying to price check last week. Had everything I wanted, but needed to sign up with Costco after I found out their discount info. So, I was on hold with Tmobile, as I was doing this and got disconnected. My phone would not come back on for like 30 min. It was a calamity of errors. We were in essence waiting on me to get my number from Costco. I had a new phone, 5G home internet, etc. She called and left a message. No way to get in touch with her.

The next day she called, but I was at work. I could not answer my phone, (plus I did not hear it until it went to voice mail). I really wanted her to get credit.

So today I attempted to just do it on my own. Well, I no longer have 5G available at my house. Which is nuts. I called Tmobile. The first person said its not available yet, clearly did not understand me when I said it was available last week.

2nd person overtalked me, and said I misunderstood.

3rd person understood and tried to get me to switch to something that would not meet my needs. I can't do Air or whatever its called until 5G is available bc I get to 1TB a month and the cap is 100GB. So after a few days I am screwed.

I went and checked on the business side after looking the internet for solutions. Low and behold I have 5G at my address FOR BUSINESS. But not for personal. So if I want internet I have to switch and pay MORE.

Can someone please help me. I keep throwing myself at your company and no one will take me. I am about to contact ATT bc I am giving myself until tomorrow when My credit will freeze back to do all of this. XFINITY has lost their damn mind by doubling and no promotions for existing customers.

Is this hopeless? Seems like no one will help me.

Xfinity's jumping on the T-Mo Price Increase bandwagon. (Sure others are too...)

That didn't take long. Any other ones that mention T-Mo's price increase by name?

Honoring of lifetime warranty

Hello, I was recently given a phone as a hand-me-down (Samsung Galaxy s23 Ultra) from a friend, but the screen has been cracked for some time now. He mentioned how when he bought the phone, he bought a life-time warranty for it as well. He was on a family plan, but is no longer with T-Mobile. Will they still honor the Life-Time warranty even though he is no longer with them?

EDIT: I forgot to mention that the Family account with T-Mobile is still open, he just is not in said account anymore

I left T-Mobile for a carrier that made me feel safer (Cape)

I finally switched over to Cape after this tmobile debacle, and I’m still trying to decide how I feel about it.

So far, the service itself has been solid, but the whole thing has this weird “early crypto” feeling to me.
Not in a scammy way necessarily, more like one of those things where you hear about it from random people online before it becomes more mainstream, and you’re not totally sure if you’re early or just overthinking it.

For clarity, I have zero affiliation with Cape. I’m not sponsored, I don’t work for them, and I only found out about it through Reddit, if you use enough referral codes you can get service down to zero per month. It makes me wish i had friends lol.

I was mostly curious and decided to try it because the concept sounded interesting.
Curious if anyone else here has switched or looked into it. Are people generally liking it, or is it still too new to tell?

In T-Mobile I Trust

There is an overwhelming sense that Tmobile has gone over to the dark side. It's almost all negative news. I'm here to say, I'm still a fan in Dallas.

I Pay $218.50/month for:

Go5G Plus plan

5 lines

Home internet Unlimited

Amazon Prime

Hulu

Netflix

Door Dash

MLB TV pass

I do have an IC. I don't currently have any EIPs or insurance on my devices. All in all, I am one satisfied customer since April, 2022. Overall, I'm getting an incredible value for my $$$. I hope everyone that isn't happy can find a way to get the same.

New Quarter, New ICs?

Long story short but I was with T-Mobile for 15 years before switching to AT&T almost 4 years ago. I have not been happy with their service so I want to go back but I have been trying to get an Insider Code for almost a year now and have failed. I’m on a family plan and will port over the numbers with a good discount which is why I’d want to get an Insider Code before making the switch back. I’ve seen people on this community giving out ICs so I thought I’d ask here. Is anyone willing to share a code? Please and thank you!

Thank goodness for T-Mobile Price Lock!!!

Saved again by T-Mobile's Price Lock. No increases last year & also not getting one this year. Those of us that opened a brand-new T-Mobile account between April 28, 2022 and January 17, 2024 received Price Lock. My plan's SOC was also changed to a new one ending in "PL". No pricing changes for us, thankfully!

T-mobile Rate Hike

Like many of you, I woke up to the forced migration text on my legacy T-Mobile ONE All-In Promo plan. (Note: The strict Price Lock promise generally applies to plans older than 2024 or so). But here is the kicker: I just upgraded to an iPhone 17 recently. I traded in my paid-off phone and signed a new multi-year Equipment Installment Plan (EIP) contract because T-Mobile's active marketing and Price Lock promises assured me my rate plan was secure. Exactly one month later, they changed the baseline agreement.

If I had known this in May, I never would have signed a hardware contract. I would have taken my trade-in and shopped for other carriers, or at least considered T-Mobile under an honest framework. This is textbook bait-and-switch and detrimental reliance. Because I signed that loan, I cannot just "leave" without facing a massive financial penalty. Everyone, please do not accept the standard $100 customer service credit to close your complaint. I rejected 611's band-aid solution and filed a formal FCC complaint itemizing the full value of the phone and taxes, demanding full loan forgiveness so I own the phone outright. If T-Mobile's Executive Response Team digs their heels in, my next step is formal AAA arbitration. Under AAA rules, T-Mobile has to foot thousands of dollars in filing fees just to defend themselves over our phone loans. The math is on our side.

If you upgraded recently, gather your January-June PDF bills right now, establish your baseline, and file your FCC report. Don't let them trap your hardware. Class-action lawsuits sound great, but they are a trap. You end up waiting five years just to get a $12 settlement check while the lawyers walk away with millions. Meanwhile, T-Mobile gets to write one check to make the whole problem go away. Instead, look into mass individual arbitration. Under the American Arbitration Association (AAA) rules, you pay a consumer filing fee of roughly $225—which is often reimbursed by T-Mobile if you win or reach a successful verdict. However, T-Mobile is legally forced to pay $1,500+ in non-refundable case management and arbitrator fees for every single individual file opened, long before the case is even heard.

If thousands of us file individual arbitration cases simultaneously, the math completely breaks their system. T-Mobile would face an immediate, unavoidable bill of hundreds of thousands—or even millions—of dollars just in administrative fees. They simply do not have the legal staff or the budget to handle that volume of individual files. By forcing individual arbitration over your recent phone upgrade and the forced migration, you make it mathematically difficult for them to fight us. We are not sheep; we are consumers who deserve honesty and fair dealings.

Immediate — Establish Your Baseline: Download and save every PDF statement from January 2026 to the present day. Your May bill is your "smoking gun" showing the exact date you signed your phone upgrade contract, and your July bill will prove the price hike.

Day 1 — File the FCC Complaint: File an official consumer complaint with the FCC. Clearly state that you were induced into a multi-year equipment contract under false pretenses ("detrimental reliance"). Explicitly list your demand: complete phone loan forgiveness and a frozen rate.

Day 1 — Serve the Formal Notice of Dispute: Do not just rely on the FCC. T-Mobile's terms require a 60-day informal negotiation window. Download the "T-Mobile Notice of Dispute" form, draft a letter disputing these changes, list your total full-cost damages (device retail price, taxes, and plan discrepancies), and mail it via certified mail to their Customer Relations department.

Days 2–60 — Reject the Band-Aid Bribes: T-Mobile's Executive Team or 611 managers will likely call to offer you a "one-time $100 credit" to close the ticket. Reject it. Tell them calmly that you are holding out for a full hardware payoff or a permanent rate freeze.

Day 61 — Force Formal AAA Arbitration: If they do not resolve the issue to your exact satisfaction when the 60-day clock expires, go to the American Arbitration Association website (adr.org) and file a Consumer Demand. Pay your ~$225 fee, upload your ledger, and serve their registered legal agent (Corporation Service Company). T-Mobile will immediately be billed $1,500+ just to look at the file, forcing them to the settlement table.

Insider code commission?

I’m going to join T.Mobile tomorrow thru Costco. How much does the commission change if you give an insider code? I could even pay for it if need be. End of the quarter and I would be adding 4 lines from Verizon.
