T-Mobile Just Ripped 8 Million Customers Off Their Grandfathered Plans – and Raised Their Bills (www.gadgetreview.com)

“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.

If T-Mobile does this I'm gone. SimpleChoice had free international roaming which we use yearly when we visit family. Everyone on my family plan uses it and It was an amazing feature at the time now they charge per month, per line. Been on T-Mobile for 19 years.

I see no change in my current plan nor have I gotten any emails about any changes to my plan.

Oh you mean to your plan. The way you phrased it implied you were on one of the affected plans.
