Insane Regulatory programs and Telco Recover Fee Increase

I cannot believe the gouging T Mobile has launched with major increases to an already parasitic fee for what T Mobile calls cost recovery. This is just some arbitrary slush fund that they can use in any way they want. If you have 4 lines, like I do, thats $186 per year for NOTHING. This latest increase is obscene and another slight of hand way to screw us over.

    Have fun with that.  Best talk to the FCC and have them not allow carriers to charge for things that they mandate all carriers have including in rural areas.

    Transfer to a plan that has the taxes & fees included?

    Another example of a small (at first) company getting tired of its small, niche market and getting too big for its britches. Whoever heard of a cellphone company with a Travel segment? I have been a 14+yr customer, and, of course, there are no more promotional deals for me. I am disgusted by these money-hungry megacorps trying to take over the world. Deutsch Telecom? Should we be scared?

    T-Mobile has gone too far with its Comcast like Fees called the $3.49 per line Reg Program & Telco Fee!  We all must demand a complete explanation for this exorbitant  so-called Fee Tmobile is adding to our monthly phone bill!  It's not enough to offer one Plan with this Fee included, as its just a trick to hide this Fee!  T-Mobile don't go the way of the cocue bird and Comcast is going, or out of Business with its many made-up Fees! Just delete it now, or everyone will go to a smart Service that doesn't add unknown large Fees like this Fee! Wake-up Tmobile with your known large Ripoff Fee!

    Deceptive advertising. Offering a plan at a set rate and then when you get a bill they have added charges that they never mentioned when you signed up. A bunch of crooks!

    My plan has been $70 a month for the last 6+ years and the only time it varies is if I buy a new phone and finance it.
