T-Mobile is forcing legacy Magenta, ONE, and Simple Choice customers onto pricier 5G plans in July — here's what your bill will actually change.

“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’ve never heard of ”telco” as a US citizen in my 40s. I’ve heard “telecom” but not “telco”.
