“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.
I dunno anyone still using the big 3 telcos, not much value over the MVNOs unless you’re really the type that wants to bundle Disney+ or something.
Switched to an MVNO and have been quite happy with it. Cut bill by almost 2/3.
MVNOs do have a lower data priority than the parent network, but IME this hasn’t made much difference. I don’t tend to stream a lot of video on my phone though, so it might be a concern if you need fast data.
Every time I’ve tried one of MVNOs I’ve got shit service at my work. I’m affected by this new price hike from T-Mobile so I’m going to try one again but not expecting great results.
Check out US mobile… If you get their top plan, you can change to any of the 3 mobile providers for free
This. US Mobile has been great to me. I have no intention of going anywhere else in the foreseeable future.
Are we Australians rubbing off on the international English lexicon? I don’t know how to feel about this haha
That’s definitely not new slang. In the US at least.
TIL then I guess. If I imagine someone saying this in a US accent, I just can’t picture it haha
I’ve never heard of ”telco” as a US citizen in my 40s. I’ve heard “telecom” but not “telco”.
Thank you for somewhat restoring my head cannon haha
I only have in the utility industry and even then it’s not often telcom
The big companies give line prio over mvno clients.
