I've had a T-Mobile phone plan for maybe 6 months. I chose a unlimitedly everything plan. The phone service has been terrible. Most calls do not go through or come in. The calls constantly drop. I called for help was told to reset the network. Nothing they have done has helped and I am paying over $180 or more for this phone service just for the phones to not even work!!!!Business Response

T-Mobile regrets any concerns our customer has regarding the account, and we appreciate the opportunity to respond to this matter. In reviewing this matter, the customers concerns are pertaining to their account billing after cancellation.

I made an agreement with ******** to purchase cell phone service via an online chat in March of 2022. During that chat, I asked, "Is this price guaranteed for as long as the account is active?" This was answered, "Yes." However, I have recently been informed that the price will be increasing by $6.12/month. Please see the uploaded letter I sent to T-Mobile on May 8 disputing the increase. Attached to that letter is a transcript of the chat agreement made on March 28, 2022. I have highlighted in red the pertinent portions of the chat transcript. Other than the highlighting, I have not altered the transcript in any way. This morning, I received a call from T-Mobile agent, **** ****** in which he informed me that T-Mobile would not honor the guarantee made by their agent in 2022! I then asked if ******** would provide an arbitrator to resolve the dispute. He said they would not. He did offer to provide some temporary credits but, again said they would not honor the agreement that the monthly price would not increase. I replied that that was not acceptable. I am therefore requesting help from BBB to resolve this dispute.

Re: Your File Number: 23336917
To Whom It May Concern:
T-Mobile USA, Inc.(T-Mobile) is in receipt of your correspondence regarding T-Mobiles recent rate plan monthly recurring charge update.
As costs and inflation continue to rise, in 2024 and 2025, T-Mobile made small adjustments to the pricing of some of its older rate plans for the first time in nearly a decade. On May 22, 2024, T-Mobile notified certain customers enrolled in older rate plans that their plans monthly recurring charge would increase as of their June or July 2024 billing statements. On March 13, 2025,T-Mobile began notifying a separate group of customers enrolled in older rate plans that their plans monthly recurring charge will increase as of their April or May 2025 billing statement. It is important to note that any lines impacted by a monthly rate increase in 2024 that remain on the same rate plan will not see another increase in 2025.
T-Mobile notified all impacted customers, by way of text message, email, and/or direct mail,about the rate increase and how the increase specifically impacts their account, including how much their current rate plan will increase, when to expect the increase, and where they can find more information. In most cases, the rate increase is $5.00 per line. All plan services, benefits, and due dates will remain the same. If any customer is interested in shopping for a new rate plan or would like to review our current rate plan offerings, we encourage them to contact ************* or visit *****************************************.
T-Mobiles long-standing commitment to offering low prices and the best value in wireless will never change. While making any adjustments to plan pricing is difficult, these updates will help us continue offering tremendous value for customers, as well as providing the experiences T-Mobile customers have come to love from us, well into the future.
Regarding these updates, we are aware some customers have inquired about Un-contract and T-Mobiles Price Lock and the difference between the two. First, it is important to note that whether a customer qualifies for Un-contract or Price Lock depends on when the customer activated their account and/or enrolled their already-existing account in a qualifying rate plan. Customers who activated their account before April 28, 2022, are not eligible for Price Lock, as T-Mobile did not begin offering Price Lock until April 28, 2022. Customers with Price Lock were not impacted by the recent rate increases. For more information on Price Lock, please visit our website at *****************************************************************.Before Price Lock was offered, T-Mobile offered Un-contract. In particular, on January 5, 2017, T-Mobile began offering Un-contract, in which T-Mobile promised that if it ever raised the monthly recurring charge for a covered plan, customers who chose to leave T-Mobile as a result could have T-Mobile reimburse their last months service charge. That Un-contract promise applies to all customers who activated an account on a qualifying rate plan and/or enrolled in a qualifying rate plan between January 5, 2017, and April 27, 2022. Consistent with T-Mobiles Un-contract promise, any such customers impacted by the rate increase can request to have their final months qualifying service charge reimbursed if they choose to cancel service as a result of the increase. Customers simply need to cancel service and request reimbursement within 60 days of the price increase.
Here, our records show that this customer activated their account outside of the Price Lock period. As such, their account is not protected by Price Lock given their account activation date preceded the introduction of Price Lock. Their account, however, is currently eligible for T-Mobiles Un-contract promise. Therefore, our customer may request to have their final months recurring charge reimbursed, should they opt to leave T-Mobile because of the rate increase. The customer just needs to let us know within 60 days of the increase. If they wish to stay with T-Mobile, the account will remain active on their current T-Mobile rate plan.
Based upon the foregoing, we respectfully request that this complaint against T-Mobile be closed. For additional concerns, please contact T-Mobile at ************.
Respectfully,
******************

I am rejecting this response because: The fact remains that in the online chat with the T-Mobile agent in 2022, I asked, "Is this price guaranteed for as long as the account is active?" The T-Mobile agent replied "Yes" (unconditionally). I then replied, "Ok. I agree." To which the agent replied, "ok" I believe this is a binding agreement as documented in the transcript.! The account has remained active with every payment being made on time. It was the T-Mobile agent who made the statement including, ". . . Terms and Conditions of Service, which require arbitration of disputes unless you opt out within 30-days." I did not opt out and respectfully request that if T-Mobile will not voluntarrily honor the agreement made by its agent with me, then the matter should be resolved by an impartial arbitrator. Also, the total amount of the increase is $6.12/month.Sincerely,

T-Mobile Account No. *********
To Whom It May Concern:
******************(T-Mobile) is in receipt of your correspondence dated June 5, 2025, regarding the above-referenced account.
T-Mobile regrets any continued concerns **** ***** may have experienced with their account, and we appreciate the opportunity to respond. Our records show that **** ***** activated their account and subscribed to our Essentials 55+ rate plan on March 29, 2022. Their account currently has two voice lines of service subscribed to our Essentials 55+ rate plan for $70.00 per month plus applicable taxes and fees for the first two lines. Our records also show the account is enrolled in ******* with an eligible payment method and, therefore, receives a monthly discount of $5.00 per qualifying line of service, for a total monthly discount of $10.00.
In their rebuttal,**** ***** claims they entered into a binding agreement with T-Mobile via a chat message. That, however, is not true and we are happy to provide more information to explain. When an individual becomes a T-Mobile customer, the binding agreement they become subject to and that governs the relationship between that individual and T-Mobile is T-Mobiles Terms and Conditions. T-Mobiles Terms and Conditions expressly state this by stating: You accept these T&Cs by activating,using, or paying for T-Mobile services and T-Mobiles Terms and Conditions govern the service(s) you purchase from us and [b]y Accepting these T&Cs, you agree to be bound by these provisions. T-Mobiles Terms and Conditions also state that the Agreement with its customers includes additional terms found in the customers Rate Plan and/or Data Plan. Here, when **** ***** signed up for service, their rate plan was subject to T-Mobiles Un-contract promise, which T-Mobile offered to customers from January 5, 2017 through April 27, 2022. During that time, T-Mobile disclosed details about its Un-contract promise to customers on its website and disclosed that a price increase may occur, but it promised to reimburse customers for their last months recurring service charge if customers chose to leave as a result of the increase. In particular, T-Mobiles website stated that Un-contract is our commitment that only you can change what you pay, and we mean it! To show just how serious we are we have committed to pay your final months recurring service charges if we were to raise prices and you choose to leave. Just let us know within 60 days.
Here, as noted above, **** ***** activated their account and subscribed to our Essentials 55+ rate plan on March 29, 2022, which is within the Un-contract timeframe. Therefore, **** Hardys agreement with T-Mobile is covered by T-Mobiles Terms and Conditions and the additional terms found in T-Mobiles Un-contract promise.
Accordingly, consistent with T-Mobiles Un-contract promise, should **** ***** decide to leave T-Mobile due to the price increase, T-Mobile will pay their final months recurring service charge as long as **** ***** notifies T-Mobile of this decision within 60 days of the price increase. If **** ***** wishes to stay with T-Mobile, their account will remain active on T-Mobiles Essentials 55+ rate plan, with the new monthly recurring charge of $60.00 per month plus applicable taxes and fees, while enrolled in AutoPay with an eligible payment method.

I am rejecting this response because: The agent with whom I chatted in 2022 was identified as a T-Mobile "live Sales Expert." AFTER she had listed the conditions of my purchasing T-Mobile's service, she asked "Do you agree to these Terms & Conditions as I have posted them?" I THEN asked her to verify what the monthly charge would be which she did as " On the Essentials 55+ for 2 lines $55+taxes and fees." I THEN asked if the price is guaranteed for as long as the account is active. She replied, "Yes." Only at that point, with this assurance, did I reply, "Ok. I agree." She accepted my reply with "ok" and the account was set up. These are the facts!I have submitted a request to AAA for arbitration of this matter and have notified Mr. ****** with T-Mobile of this action. I am now waiting for a reply from AAA with instructions on how to proceed.

TMobile still has NOT removed all of my personal information from their systems as requested and promised despite my following all instructions on their site AND in replies to this BBB complaint.

I would like it if BBB would step in and help resolve this matter since it still isn't resolved. I shouldn't have to beg this many times for my personal information to be removed.

I have been a loyal customer for over 20 years, originally with Sprint and now with T-Mobile. I have remained with the company due to its reliable customer service and affordable pricing.During the transition from Sprint to T-Mobile, I was assured that my existing plan and services would remain similar and that there would be no disruption or increase in cost. However, I was recently surprised to find that the price of my plan has increased.I contacted customer support to inquire about the change. The representative I spoke with informed me that the price increase was due to my being on an older plan. I expressed concern, as I had been promised that my plan and pricing would be grandfathered. She then advised me to switch to the T-Mobile Essentials plan, and I specifically asked whether my Hulu subscriptionan important part of my current planwould still be included. She assured me it would be.Unfortunately, the very next day I received a notification stating that my **** subscription was no longer part of my services. I called customer support again, and the agent confirmed that **** is not included with the Essentials plan. I explained that a previous representative had guaranteed otherwise. The agent acknowledged that she could see that note in my account.This experience has been extremely frustrating and disappointing, especially as a long-term customer who trusted the information provided by your representatives. I am requesting the following:A formal acknowledgment of the miscommunication and confirmation that steps will be taken to ensure this does not happen to other ************ be reinstated on my original plan or provided with an equivalent plan that includes **** and maintains my original pricing.Alternatively, to be reinstated to the T-Mobile Essentials plan with **** included, as was promised by your representative.I would appreciate a timely resolution to this inquiry, and I expect the company to honor its commitmentsBusiness Response

Re:Your File Number: 23335553
To Whom It May Concern:
*****************. (T-Mobile) is in receipt of your correspondence regarding T-Mobiles recent rate plan monthly recurring charge update.
As costs and inflation continue to rise, in 2024 and 2025, T-Mobile made small adjustments to the pricing of some of its older rate plans for the first time in nearly a decade. On May 22, 2024, T-Mobile notified certain customers enrolled in older rate plans that their plans monthly recurring charge would increase as of their June or July 2024 billing statements. On March 13, 2025, T-Mobile began notifying a separate group of customers enrolled in older rate plans that their plans monthly recurring charge will increase as of their April or May 2025 billing statement. It is important to note that any lines impacted by a monthly rate increase in 2024 that remain on the same rate plan will not see another increase in 2025.
T-Mobile notified all impacted customers, by way of text message, email, and/or direct mail, about the rate increase and how the increase specifically impacts their account, including how much their current rate plan will increase, when to expect the increase, and where they can find more information. In most cases, the rate increase is $5.00 per line. All plan services, benefits, and due dates will remain the same. If any customer is interested in shopping for a new rate plan or would like to review our current rate plan offerings, we encourage them to contact ************* or visit *****************************************.
T-Mobiles long-standing commitment to offering low prices and the best value in wireless will never change. While making any adjustments to plan pricing is difficult, these updates will help us continue offering tremendous value for customers, as well as providing the experiences T-Mobile customers have come to love from us, well into the future.
Regarding these updates, we are aware some customers have inquired about Un-contract and T-Mobiles Price Lock and the difference between the two. First, it is important to note that whether a customer qualifies for Un-contract or Price Lock depends on when the customer activated their account and/or enrolled their already-existing account in a qualifying rate plan. Customers who activated their account before April 28, 2022, are not eligible for Price Lock, as T-Mobile did not begin offering Price Lock until April 28, 2022. Customers with Price Lock were not impacted by the recent rate increases. For more information on Price Lock, please visit our website at ***********************************************************************;
Before Price Lock was offered, T-Mobile offered Un-contract. In particular, on January 5, 2017, T-Mobile began offering Un-contract, in which T-Mobile promised that if it ever raised the monthly recurring charge for a covered plan, customers who chose to leave T-Mobile
as a result could have T-Mobile reimburse their last months service charge. That Un-contract promise applies to all customers who activated an account on a qualifying rate plan and/or enrolled in a qualifying rate plan between January 5, 2017 and April 27, 2022. Consistent with T-Mobiles Un-contract promise, any such customers impacted by the rate increase can request to have their final months qualifying service charge reimbursed if they choose to cancel service as a result of the increase. Customers simply need to cancel service and request reimbursement within 60 days of the price increase.
Here, our records show that this customer activated their account outside of the Price Lock period. As such, their account is not protected by Price Lock given their account activation date preceded the introduction of Price Lock. Their account, however, is currently eligible for T-Mobiles Un-contract promise. Therefore, our customer may request to have their final months recurring charge reimbursed, should they opt to leave T-Mobile because of the rate increase. The customer just needs to let us know within 60 days of the increase. If they wish to stay with T-Mobile, the account will remain active on their current T-Mobile rate plan.
In May 2025, the customer contacted ************* regarding the recent price increase and they were provided alternative rate plans options that would meet their needs. Please note, the customer opted to change their rate plan; however, the new rate plan did not include Hulu. Following the rate plan change, the customer contacted ************* regarding concerns with accessing Hulu as they we informed that **** was included in the new rate plan. ************* advised that **** was not included in the new rate plan and was able to revert the customer to their original rate plan and readded the **** subscription to the account.
On May 20, 2025, our office contacted the customer and addressed their concerns. We also provided the customer with our direct contact information should they have any further questions or concerns regarding this matter.
Based upon the foregoing, we respectfully request that this complaint against T-Mobile be closed. For additional concerns, please contact T-Mobile at ************.
Respectfully,

Complaint: 23335553
I am rejecting this response because:When T-Mobile acquired Sprint, I spoke with an agent who assured me that I did not need to worry about any price increases, and that my account would be updated accordingly to protect my existing benefits.
Last month,I contacted T-Mobile to follow up on that matter. The agent I spoke with advised me to switch to the Essentials plan. I specifically asked whether my **** subscription, which was included in my current plan, would still be available.She confirmed that it would be.
However,just two days after switching plans, I was unable to log into **** and received a message that my subscription had expired. I contacted T-Mobile again and spoke with a supervisor, who acknowledged that the previous agent had incorrectly informed meHulu is not included with the Essentials plan. At that point, I requested to be moved back to my previous plan.
Once my Hulu access was restored, I spoke with an agent named ***** on 05/25/25 to confirm that my future billing would remain unchanged. He assured me that he had submitted a request to opt out of any future additional charges.
Unfortunately,this entire experience has been marked by inconsistent and misleading information from your agentswho are the voice of your company. I strongly recommend that you review the call recordings associated with my account to verify the details and investigate the pattern of misinformation Ive received.
I am requesting a thorough resolution to ensure that my plan, billing, and services match the commitments made to me. I have always valued my relationship with this company, but the continued miscommunication and incorrect information are unacceptable.

T-Mobile Account No. *********
To Whom It May Concern:
****************** (T-Mobile) is in receipt of your correspondence dated June 5, 2025, regarding the above-referenced account. T-Mobile has confirmed that ****** **** and **** **** are one and the same.
T-Mobile regrets any continued concerns ****** **** may have experienced regarding their account, and we appreciate the opportunity to respond. ****** **** activated the above account with ********************** on September 24, 2002. The account was migrated to T-Mobile on May 30, 2023, via our Magenta Complete process. The Magenta Complete process was an automated process that moved eligible customers from the ********************** billing system to the T-Mobile billing system. The Magenta Complete process also moved eligible customers from a ********************** rate plan to a T-Mobile rate plan that was similar to the customers rate plan under the ********************** billing system. Any offers and promotions that customers redeemed with ********************** also moved over to the T-Mobile billing system as part of the Magenta Complete process.
The account currently has two voice lines of service, and at the time of migration, ****** ***** Sprint rate plan was changed to our T-Mobile ***************** w/Taxes & Fees Included rate plan for $113.00 per month, with applicable taxes and fees included. It should be noted that with the T-Mobile ***************** w/Taxes & Fees Included rate plan the **** streaming service is included at a monthly charge of $9.99, and receives a monthly credit of $9.99, as long as rate plan eligibility is maintained. Please note, the account is currently enrolled in ******* and receives a monthly discount of $5.00 per qualifying line of service, while remaining enrolled with an eligible payment method and subscribed to an eligible rate plan.
In their complaint and rebuttal, ****** **** indicated that during the transition from Sprint to T-Mobile, they were assured their rate plan and services would remain similar and there would be no increase in cost. To address that claim, it is important to note that as part of the Magenta Complete migration process, customers were assured that they would not see an increase in their base bill amount at the time of migration simply because their rate plan was changing. This assurance was not intended to create, nor did it create, a new promise or guarantee that rate plan prices would never increase or be locked in at a set price point forever. This assurance was only intended to ease concerns during the transition and confirm that customers migrating to T-Mobile would not see an increase in their bill as a result of the migration.
Although our review confirms ****** **** is not covered by any guaranteed pricing commitment, ****** **** was able to take advantage of our Un-contract promise, which is a promise T-Mobile made to customers between January 5, 2017 and April 27, 2022 that if T-Mobile raised prices and a customer decides to leave T-Mobile as a result, T-Mobile will pay the customers final months recurring service charge as long as the customer notifies T-Mobile of this decision within 60 days of the price increase.
Therefore, should ****** **** decide to leave T-Mobile due to the price increase, T-Mobile will pay their final months recurring service charge as long as ****** **** notifies T-Mobile of this decision within 60 days of the price increase. If ****** **** wishes to stay with T-Mobile, their account will remain active on their T-Mobile ***************** w/Taxes & Fees Included rate plan, with the new monthly recurring charge of $103.00 per month, while enrolled in ******* with an eligible payment method.
On May 14, 2025, ****** **** was advised by our ************* of the T-Mobile Essentials rate plan to help mitigate the monthly increase of their current rate plan. It should be noted that with the T-Mobile Essentials plan, **** is not eligible for the monthly recurring credit to offset the monthly charge. On May 19, 2025, ****** **** contacted our ************* and requested to be moved back to the T-Mobile ***************** w/Taxes & Fees Included rate plan. At that time, our ************* changed the rate plan on ****** ***** account back to the T-Mobile ***************** w/Taxes & Fees Included rate plan and added the **** feature back to their account.
Please be assured that T-Mobile strives to provide world-class service to all our customers on each contact. We also make every effort to provide complete and accurate information to our customers. We apologize if any T-Mobile employee failed in any way to display that during ****** ***** recent contact with our *************.
On May 20, 2025, our office contacted ****** **** and advised them of the above information. In effort to amicably resolve this matter, T-Mobile moved the ****** **** to the T-Mobile Essentials plan and issued a credit to the account in the amount of $120.00 to cover 12 months of **** services. On May 21, 2025, ****** **** contacted our office and requested to reverse the credit on the account and move back to the T-Mobile ***************** w/Taxes & Fees Included rate plan and have the **** services added back to their account. As such, the rate plan was changed once again, and the **** feature added back to the account.
On June 3, 2025, ****** **** accepted a one-time credit of $10.00, and a monthly credit of $10.00 over the following six months to help mitigate with the price increase of their rate plan. On June 10, 2025, our office contacted ****** **** and advised them of the above information. We regret any inconvenience to ****** ****.
Based on the foregoing, we respectfully request this complaint against T-Mobile be closed.

I am rejecting this response becauseI understand there is not a way to opt out of the current rate increase from taking place on my account.However, I do not want T mobile to increase again over time. I do not want the issue to happen again. I noticed that this was not included in their response.
if they promised something to the customer, they need to keep their word. The company should care about the customer instead of just trying to profit from them.Respectfully

T-Mobile regrets any continued concerns **** **** may have experienced regarding their account, and we appreciate the opportunity to respond. T-Mobile is committed to offering the best value in wireless with low prices and a best-in-class 5G network. Due to inflation and increasing costs, T-Mobile made small adjustments to the pricing of some of its older rate plans in 2024 and 2025. Changes to rate plan pricing have been a fairly rare occurrence at T-Mobile in the past. There is, however, no way to guarantee plan availability, pricing,offers, or various other factors that may affect those aspects. The possibility of change is inherent to the nature of wireless service, and it is not always possible to anticipate such changes in advance.

I went into the store on 3/28/25 to purchase a phone and paid in full. ****** ******* the agent at the store stated a case and screen protector was in included. He put the wrong screen protector on the phone and put that in the system and the case broke and he told me I had to go to the otter box company to get it replaced. I looked at my bill because I didnt have the package even to the otter box and barely purchased this..****** put everything together for me before I left the store and I actually paid for this otter box and the screen protector when I pulled the bill out! When I went back to the store said you to told me these were included in the cost of the phone. He said it was included in activation of the phone. I was like what? So you couldnt activate my phone without buy A $65 otter box which is to big for me and a $59.99 screen protector? The manager was not there. And ****** became rude when I told him this was fraud. When I went back to the store because it was hard to type on the phone he said to call tmobile and I did and they sent me to all the way to the Apple Store which is far away. The guy at the Apple Store said this is the wrong screen protector that is probably the issue.. I called tmoble on 5/7/25 after all this and the manager agreed this was wrong and she would call me back by Friday to get the right screen protector documented so I can get it replaced with the right one and see if I could return this otter box I would have never chose if it wasnt included. This manager never called me back from tmoble and I called them again today in 5/15/25. I had to explain my situation all over again and they didnt care that I got scammed. I want this case returned and the right screen protector added so I can get it replaced with the right one because he put the wrong one on my phone and now I can only order the wrong one he put in the system.Business Response

This complaint concerns the inaccurate and potentially damaging reporting of my Sprint account ending in ******XXXX, which is currently reflected as a charge-off with a balance of $4,974.00 as of December 7, 2023. Despite the significant balance, this account continues to be reported in a manner that unjustly ***** my credit profile and financial standing. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681i, credit reporting agencies are required to ensure that all information on a consumers file is accurate, complete, and verifiable. This means that any account remaining on my credit report must be supported by reliable, documented evidence proving its accuracy, including original account agreements, payment histories, and itemized billing statements. Given the ongoing risk of data breaches and mishandling of sensitive financial data, it is critical that this account undergo a thorough, detailed reinvestigation to determine its legitimacy.I demand that Sprint and the involved credit bureaus provide a comprehensive and precise verification of this account, including the original agreement, accurate billing statements, and any other documentation used to substantiate the reporting. This cannot be a mere checkbox exercise or a superficial database match. If they cannot conclusively prove the legitimacy and accuracy of this account, it must be immediately deleted from my credit report to prevent further financial harm. I have escalated this matter to the ************************ (***) and the ************************************ (****) to ensure my rights are fully protected, and I expect a detailed, personalized response, not a generic, canned reply. Any continued reporting of this account without proper verification would constitute a reckless and willful violation of my consumer rights, exposing the responsible parties to significant legal liability under 15 U.S.C. 1681n.Business Response

I have been a loyal customer of T-Mobile for the last 4 years. I purchased the plan because they told me the price would never raise! Even though the price was higher than their competitors at the time, I purchased it anyway so I could receive the lifetime guarantee. For the last 4 years I have paid $64.34. In the last 3 months, they have raised my bill twice! I called them twice and got nowhere. They want to give me $10 off for 6 months then the regular price would take over. If I did that i would be releasing them from their obligation on my current plan. I told them leave my account alone and i will contact the better business bureau. then I found this website. It may just be a few dollars, but for me it's the principal of the matter. This company made me a firm offer and i agreed to the offer, even though I would be paying a little more each month. The company lied to me and this can not stand. I am asking for a billing adjustment to make my bill the agreed upon $64.34. I also want the refund of the overpayments ofer the last few months, and I am asking for $100 to cover my time spent trying to get this matter resolved. I noticed that there are thousands of customers on the Internet talking about the same thing and there seems to be a class action suit starting. ReplyBusiness Response

To Whom It May Concern:
****************** (T-Mobile) is in receipt of your correspondence regarding T-Mobiles recent rate plan monthly recurring charge update.
As costs and inflation continue to rise, in 2024 and 2025, T-Mobile made small adjustments to the pricing of some of its older rate plans for the first time in nearly a decade. On May 22, 2024, T-Mobile notified certain customers enrolled in older rate plans that their plans monthly recurring charge would increase as of their June or July 2024 billing statements. On March 13, 2025, T-Mobile began notifying a separate group of customers enrolled in older rate plans that their plans monthly recurring charge will increase as of their April or May 2025 billing statement. It is important to note that any lines impacted by a monthly rate increase in 2024 that remain on the same rate plan will not see another increase in 2025.
T-Mobile notified all impacted customers, by way of text message, email, and/or direct mail, about the rate increase and how the increase specifically impacts their account, including how much their current rate plan will increase, when to expect the increase, and where they can find more information. In most cases, the rate increase is $5.00 per line. All plan services, benefits, and due dates will remain the same. If any customer is interested in shopping for a new rate plan or would like to review our current rate plan offerings, we encourage them to contact ************* or visit *****************************************.
T-Mobiles long-standing commitment to offering low prices and the best value in wireless will never change. While making any adjustments to plan pricing is difficult, these updates will help us continue offering tremendous value for customers, as well as providing the experiences T-Mobile customers have come to love from us, well into the future.
Regarding these updates, we are aware some customers have inquired about Un-contract and T-Mobiles Price Lock and the difference between the two. First, it is important to note that whether a customer qualifies for Un-contract or Price Lock depends on when the customer activated their account and/or enrolled their already-existing account in a qualifying rate plan. Customers who activated their account before April 28, 2022, are not eligible for Price Lock, as T-Mobile did not begin offering Price Lock until April 28, 2022. Customers with Price Lock were not impacted by the recent rate increases. For more information on Price Lock, please visit our website at ***********************************************************************;
Before Price Lock was offered, T-Mobile offered Un-contract. In particular, on January 5, 2017, T-Mobile began offering Un-contract, in which T-Mobile promised that if it ever raised the monthly recurring charge for a covered plan, customers who chose to leave T-Mobile
as a result could have T-Mobile reimburse their last months service charge. That Un-contract promise applies to all customers who activated an account on a qualifying rate plan and/or enrolled in a qualifying rate plan between January 5, 2017 and April 27, 2022. Consistent with T-Mobiles Un-contract promise, any such customers impacted by the rate increase can request to have their final months qualifying service charge reimbursed if they choose to cancel service as a result of the increase. Customers simply need to cancel service and request reimbursement within 60 days of the price increase.
Here, our records show that this customer activated their account outside of the Price Lock period. As such, their account is not protected by Price Lock given their account activation date preceded the introduction of Price Lock. Their account, however, is currently eligible for T-Mobiles Un-contract promise. Therefore, our customer may request to have their final months recurring charge reimbursed, should they opt to leave T-Mobile because of the rate increase. The customer just needs to let us know within 60 days of the increase. If they wish to stay with T-Mobile, the account will remain active on their current T-Mobile rate plan.
Please be advised, the customers most recent billing statement reflected a slight increase in the taxes and fees that were assessed. Based upon our review of this matter, it is T-Mobiles position our customer is being billed accordance with their selected rate plan and applicable taxes and fees. T-Mobile regrets any inconvenience to our customer.
Based upon the foregoing, we respectfully request that this complaint against T-Mobile be closed. For additional concerns, please contact T-Mobile at ************.
Respectfully,
******************

Subject: Formal Rejection of T-Mobiles Response and Request for Resolution
I am formally rejecting T-Mobiles response for the following reasons:
At the time I opened this account, the Price Lock Guarantee was prominently advertised, and it was the main reason I chose this plan. ******** has not provided clear evidence showing when the Price Lock Guarantee began. Without proof, I reject the claim that my account was opened prior to the promotion.
Even if the promotion technically started after my activation, I was continually exposed to advertisements promoting the Price Lock Guaranteenone of which indicated any start or end dates. During several visits to ******** retail locations, representatives confirmed the Price Lock was in effect. At no point did I receive any communication stating that my plan was being modified, unlocked, or excluded from this guarantee.
To date, I havent noticed any increases in taxes or fees, and nothing in T-Mobiles letter substantiates that any such increases occurred. I have remained on the same plan, and I continue to do so because I believed the Price Lock Guarantee applied. Many customers online have expressed the same frustration, which suggests a broader issue with how this guarantee was presented and implemented.
While the actual price increase may be small, the principle of misleading customers and attempting to obscure the change through legal language is unacceptable.
I am requesting the following resolution:
Reinstate my guaranteed plan price as originally agreed.
Refund the amount I was overcharged.
Provide $100 as compensation for the inconvenience and error.
If T-Mobile insists on ending the Price Lock and I am forced to switch carriers, I am requesting $200 to cover early termination and switching fees.
If this issue is not resolved, I will consider joining the growing number of customers involved in a potential class action lawsuit.

To Whom It May Concern:
T-Mobile *********(T-Mobile) is in receipt of your correspondence dated June 2, 2025, regarding the above-referenced account.
T-Mobile regrets any concerns that ***** *********** may have experienced regarding our previous response to your office. Our records show that ***** *********** activated their account on July 10, 2020, and subscribed to our Magenta Plus 55 rate plan on July 10, 2020. On January 11, 2022, the rate plan was changed to the Essentials 55 Plus rate plan for $70.00 per month including applicable taxes and fees and the account currently has two voice lines of service. Our records also show the account is enrolled in AutoPay with an eligible payment method and, therefore, receives a monthly discount of $5.00 per qualifying line of service up to eight lines, for a total monthly discount of $10.00.
In their rebuttal, ***** *********** claims they have Price Lock, and their plan had a guaranteed price. That, however,is not correct and we are happy to provide more information to clarify. T-Mobile did not begin offering Price Lock until April 28, 2022. To be eligible for Price Lock, accounts must have been activated on a qualifying rate plan during the applicable Price Lock enrollment period, which is between April 28, 2022 and January 17, 2024 for the Original Price Lock, and must remain in good standing. If a customer migrates to a new plan not covered by Price Lock, the Price Lock guarantee falls off the account, as the customer is no longer on a qualifying rate plan. Customers who activated their account before April 28, 2022 are not covered by Price Lock because T-Mobile did not begin offering Price Lock until April 28,2022. Please note that T-Mobile has carefully reviewed the details of its prior commitments, and the terms associated with its offerings and promotions, and has ensured that customers covered by Price Lock have not been impacted by the recent price increase.
Here, as noted above, ***** Scheibingers account was activated on July 10, 2020. Given that activation date preceded the introduction of Price Lock and, thus, is not within the requisite enrollment period for Price Lock, ***** Scheibingers account is not covered by Price Lock.
***** Scheibingers account, however, is covered by our Un-contract promise. As noted in our prior response,T-Mobile offered its Un-contract promise to customers who activated an account on a qualifying rate plan and/or subscribed to a qualifying rate plan between January 5, 2017 and April 27, 2022. T-Mobiles Un-contract promise was not a promise to never increase prices. Instead, when T-Mobile offered Un-contract,T-Mobile disclosed to customers on its website that a price increase may occur,but it promised to reimburse customers for their last months recurring service charge if customers chose to leave as a result of the increase. In particular, T-Mobiles website stated that Un-contract is our commitment that only you can change what you pay, and we mean it! To show just how serious we are we have committed to pay your final months recurring service charges if we were to raise prices and you choose to leave. Just let us know within 60 days.
Here, ***** *********** activated their account and subscribed to our Magenta Plus 55 Plus rate plan on July *******, which is within the Un-contract timeframe. Therefore, consistent with T-Mobiles Un-contract promise, should ***** *********** decide to leave T-Mobile due to the price increase, T-Mobile will pay their final months recurring service charge as long as ***** *********** notifies T-Mobile of this decision within 60 days of the price increase. If ***** *********** wishes to stay with T-Mobile, their account will remain active on T-Mobiles Essentials 55 Plus rate plan, with the new monthly recurring charge of $60.00 per month, while enrolled in AutoPay with an eligible payment method.

Re: Rejection of T-Mobiles Response and Request for RestitutionI. INTRODUCTION
Complainant, ***** ***********, respectfully submits this doccument reject the response provided by ******** regarding the Price Lock guarantee issue. This rejection is based on clear evidence of deceptive advertising and misleading representations made by ******** to its customers, including the Complainant.II. STATEMENT OF FACTS
T-Mobile widely advertised its Price Lock guarantee through national television and internet campaigns. These advertisements promised that customers would retain their current plan pricing indefinitely. At no time did these advertisements include clear disclaimers limiting the guarantee to new customers, nor were start or end dates specified. Any disclaimers that did exist were presented in small, unreadable print and flashed onscreen too briefly to be legible.Based on these representations, customers including Complainant reasonably believed that the Price Lock guarantee applied to all existing customers, not just new sign-ups.
T-Mobiles failure to make material limitations clear constitutes deceptive advertising and a violation of consumer protection principles. The deception is further evidenced by thousands of consumer complaints and growing legal actions, including a pending class action lawsuit and mass arbitration proceedings.III. EVIDENCE OF DECEPTIVE ADVERTISING
The following advertisements support Complainants assertion that T-Mobile failed to adequately disclose material limitations in its Price Lock promotion:
*******************************************
*******************************************
*******************************************
*******************************************These commercials fail to disclose that the guarantee was limited to new customers, and the fine print, if any, is neither readable nor available long enough to inform the consumer.
IV. BREACH OF PROMISE
T-Mobile has increased monthly rates on plans such as T-Mobile ONE, Simple Choice, and Magenta plans previously advertised as having a lifetime or Un-contract price lock. These increases began in 2024 and represent a direct breach of the advertised commitment to maintain fixed pricing.V. LEGAL CONCERNS AND PUBLIC RESPONSE
Numerous consumers have expressed outrage online, and legal action has been initiated on behalf of affected customers. A proposed class action was filed in July 2024, alleging violations of consumer protection laws and misleading advertising. Attorneys are also pursuing mass arbitration claims.
T-Mobiles defense that rising costs justify "small adjustments" fails to negate the fact that these increases breach explicit advertising promises made to customers.VI. REQUEST FOR REMEDY
In light of the above, Complainant respectfully requests the following relief:
Immediate reversion of the monthly billing rate to the originally promised and advertised amount under the Price Lock guarantee and a refund of the increased price.A $100 credit to Complainants account as restitution for the time and effort spent resolving this matter.
Should T-Mobile prefer to resolve the matter through settlement, Complainant is open to accepting a $200 payment and a 30-day service credit to facilitate the transfer of services to another provider.VII. CONCLUSION
T-Mobiles advertising created a reasonable expectation that the Price Lock applied to all customers. Its subsequent actions increasing rates despite prior assurances constitute a breach of trust and a likely violation of consumer protection laws. The Complainant seeks appropriate remedies for this breach and stands ready to pursue further action if necessary.Respectfully submitted,

To Whom It May Concern:
****************** (T-Mobile) is in receipt of your correspondence dated July 2, 2025, regarding the above-referenced account.
T-Mobile regrets any continued concerns ***** ******* may have regarding the account, and we appreciate the opportunity to respond. As stated in our previous correspondences to your office, ***** ******* had one home internet line ending in 3215 which subscribed to our Home Internet Promo rate plan for $55.00 per month including taxes.
At time of activation ***** ******* was provided a Gateway bearing the ******************** Equipment Identity (****) ending in 2945. Please note the Gateways are T-Mobile-owned devices. They are provided to our customers at no cost. However, if not returned upon cancelation of service, there is a non-return fee that is assessed to the account. This information was disclosed to ***** ******* at the time of activation.
Please note, the account was enrolled in AutoPay. AutoPay automatically deducts the balance owed on the account approximately two to three days prior to the bill due date using a stored credit card, debit card or checking account supplied by the customer. When enrolled into ******* the account qualifies to receive a $5.00 discount per paid line of service when subscribed to an eligible rate plan and utilize a stored debit card or checking account. Customers continue to receive notifications that reflect the balance due as well as a notation that the account is on AutoPay.
Please be advised ***** ******** account was billed by a system known as bill current, meaning charges for the rate plan and features are billed in advance of the service being provided and become due within that billing cycle. Leyla ******** billing cycle ran from the 23rd of one month to the 22nd of the following month, and payment was due on the 15th before the end of the billing cycle. Based on the above Leyla ******** monthly recurring charges were $50.00 plus taxes and fees.
The billing statement dated January 23, 2025, in the amount of $50.00 consisted of rate plan charges, taxes and fees, and was due by February 15, 2025.
On February 6, 2025, ***** ******* contacted our ************* to cancel their home internet line ending in 3215, due to connectivity concerns. Pursuant to Leyla ******** request, the home internet line ending in 3215 was canceled effective immediately. Furthermore, a prepaid return label for the Gateway with the **** ending in 2945 was sent to the email address of record.
Please be advised, we are unable to guarantee data speeds in any location. There is no way to predict an exact speed with the variety of factors that can affect a customers experience. The device speeds may vary depending on the device operating system, processor, battery life, running applications, peak theoretical speeds, and distance from the cell site. Additionally, customers may experience different results based on location and number of other customers on the network.
A payment of $50.00 was successfully remitted via AutoPay on February 13, 2025, which updated the balance to zero. Please note, as the home internet line ending in 3215 was canceled during the billing period, the following months billing statement would reflect a prorated rate plan credit from the date of cancelation through the end of the billing cycle.
The billing statement dated February 23, 2025, reflected a credit in the amount of $26.51, which consisted of a prorated rate plan credit from the date of cancelation through the end of the previous billing period.
On April 17, 2025, as T-Mobile had not received the Gateway with the **** ending in 2945, ***** ******* was assessed a non-return fee in the amount of $220.00 plus taxes, which would appear on the following months billing statement.
The billing statement dated April 23, 2023, in the amount of $211.64, reflected new charges in the amount of $238.15, which consisted of a non-return fee, taxes and fees, which exhausted the credit balance of $26.51. As Leyla ******** account was enrolled in *******, a payment for $211.64 was successfully remitted on May 14, 2025, which updated the balance to zero.

However, on May 29, 2025, T-Mobile received notification from ************** financial institution that the payment of $211.64, which was originally remitted on May 14, 2025, had been returned as unpaid. Therefore, the amount of $211.64 was charged back to the account. Additionally, the account was assessed a $30.00 returned payment fee, which updated the balance to $3.49.
On June 3, 2025, our office spoke with ***** ******* regarding the above findings. To amicably resolve this matter, a credit of $3.49 was applied to the account, which updated the balance to zero.
