T-Mobile recently announced that, starting April 2, 2025, it will raise monthly rates by $5 per line for customers on select legacy plans, including Simple Choice, ONE, and Magenta. This increase comes as part of T-Mobile’s strategy to encourage customers to transition to newer service plans.
Affected customers have begun receiving notifications through text messages and emails, detailing the upcoming change. Notably, the price increase excludes lines that customers acquired through previous promotions offering “free lines,” which will continue without an additional charge.
Moreover, subscribers on plans protected by T-Mobile’s Price Lock Guarantee remain unaffected, while customers enrolled under the more recent Un-contract Promise might see their rates rise.
In response to this change, impacted customers have several options available:
- Accept the Increase: Customers can opt to remain on their existing legacy plans and absorb the $5 per line increase.
- Switch Plans: Subscribers have the option to transition to modern T-Mobile plans, such as Go5G, which are unaffected by this latest price hike.
- Change Providers: Customers looking to avoid increased costs may consider alternative providers like Mint Mobile or Metro by T-Mobile, both of which use T-Mobile’s network infrastructure and may offer more cost-effective solutions.
This move by T-Mobile highlights ongoing industry trends where major carriers encourage migration toward newer, feature-rich plans while gradually phasing out older service structures. Customers are advised to carefully review their current usage and future needs to determine the best financial and service fit for their circumstances.
