T-Mobile Is Forcibly Moving Those on Older Plans to Some of Its Newer Ones in November. Key takeaway: You can Opt-out but have to call T-Mobile Customer Care to do so. My Magenta to Go5G basic plan would cost $240 more annually for the added additional bonus of…extra hotspot data. That’s it.

      Which is funny because I switched from Verizon to T-mobile because Verizon was getting greedy. My bill is substantially lower and my service is much better.

        Same. Where I live there are next to no options so I was stuck with Verizon for years. As soon as T-Mobile came in I jumped ship. They’re both cheaper and were first to offer 5G here (although I think Verizon recently got 5G going here as well).

      I’ve found T-Mobile to be pretty good for the last decade but I won’t argue points or simp as to why because they’re all miserable corporations scamming us for data. I imagine it all comes down to varying mileage personally. One thing I’ll say is that switching companies will always lead to a cheaper bill due to introductory rates. For instance: I have to boomerang between AT&T, MetroNet, and Spectrum to keep my ISP rate low.

        I had them for years but after they merged with Sprint, they have run into money issues. It is why everything has gone up.

      I have 7 lines with T-Mobile (3 of which are free). With that plus the discounts on TMHI and YouTube TV, I think I’m stuck here financially for the time being.

        I have 4 lines. All in all, I am about 30 dollars cheaper a month. The service is also much better.

        Might be worth checking around to see.

      Is that for real?? Last time I checked (a couple years ago), Verizon would be 50-75% more than my T-Mobile plan. I have no allegiance to any company but I have my whole family on my plan so I’d need a good reason to switch

        IN the past that is what I saw but when I switched I saved some cash.

        In Oregon, T-Mobile sucks. Verizon is much better. I was expecting to pay more but ended up saving.

        It all varies on plan, number of lines, etc.

          I’ll have to look into it then. All the major carriers have great service out here so it comes down to the price for me

            You experience may differ but that was mine. T mobile started to charge credit card fees unless I used ach. Nobody does ach in my accounts.

              It’s worth looking into at least! I hadn’t reevaluated my opinion of Verizon since I chose not to go with them
