If you have an older T-Mobile plan, the monthly price might be able to go up a bit.
The wireless carrier on Wednesday revealed that it will be raising the monthly prices of some of its older plans in the U.S. by $2 to $5 per line. Affected customers will receive a message from T-Mobile warning the of the forthcoming price increase, which will take place in June. Affected plans appear to include certain T-Mobile ONE, Simple Choice, and Magenta plans.
The company offered the following text message to customer:
“We’re adjusting prices to respond to rising costs, but we are committed to offering low prices and the best value in postpaid wireless. We offer customers more for every dollar they spend than ever before, especially when you consider taxes & fees included.”
In an alleged memo shared with T-Mobile employees today, the carrier said “costs and inflation have risen over the past decade,” but touted that it still offers the “lowest prices versus AT&T and Verizon” after the price increases. T-Mobile also ensured that customers on these older plans will retain all of their “benefits and perks.”
T-Mobile did not immediately respond to requests for further comment regarding the change.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
