10/17 - Grandfathered Plans Changing

There is a big string of videos stating that people with older plans will have to change to the "newer current plans" with T-Mobile.  Has anyone else heard of this?  There is supposed to be an option to opt-out but I have not found anything on how to do that.  The biggest thing about these video's is that they say that the older plans will sky rocket when they are converted to a current plan.

    Pretty much all of the information on things and how you can opt out as of October 17th is in the following article.

    I am planning on going in person to T-Mobile to opted out or even go for a monthly prepaid plan. I am not going to waste my time waiting on the phone for a representative. Takes forever. I do not want to have to pay 118 bucks a month. I am already paying 97/98 bucks a month. So I will just get a prepaid plan which will be cheaper.

    Personally, I would wait till tomorrow to see if they are actually going to proceed with this. I heard on the Tmobile reddit forum that they may delay or cancel the migration.

    Oooh, I hope they DO delay the forced migration! I will wait until tomorrow anyways, but I can go in person to the store and figure out the best Prepaid plan since 97/98 bucks is still hecka expensive ugh.
