Precio Fijo

Same here -- I signed up for my TMo One plan in 2017 shortly after this  January 5, 2017 press release was issued: https://www.t-mobile.com/news/press/un-carrier-next . 

It includes the following promise:

“New Rule:  Only YOU Should Have the Power to Change What You Pay – Introducing Un-contract for T-Mobile ONE

Today, T-Mobile introduced the Un-contract for T-Mobile ONE - and notched another industry first with the first-ever price guarantee on an unlimited 4G LTE plan. With the Un-contract, T-Mobile signs, and customers hold all the power. Now, T-Mobile ONE customers keep their price until THEY decide to change it. T-Mobile will never change the price you pay for your T-Mobile ONE plan. When you sign up for T-Mobile ONE, only YOU have the power to change the price you pay."

There are no asterisks, footnotes or fine print.  Language could not be clearer.  For those of us who have remained on the One plan, its hard to see how T-Mobile can now raise the fee. I spent hours this morning on the phone with customer care, and they were unable to provide a justification or solution.

I just filed complaint with FCC. 

I was promised this as a lifetime rate also. No help with customer service either. Fraud complaint filed with the FTC. Currently shopping for alternative providers.

They're trying to tell me it isn't clear (it is) and that their only obligation with "price lock" is to pay my final bill if i choose to leave because of a price increase. But, their price lock came later, and doesn't supercede their earlier promise not to increase the price to those who signed up for their "One" plan at the time.

This was the concern when they merged with Sprint, removing the 4th carrier from the board, that consumers would end up paying higher prices. I've spend several hours talking with T-Mobile customer care, but they do little more than read from "the script" despite my pointing out the uncarrier "un-contract" which is on their own web site, and they're choosing to ignore it. I've gone ahead and filed complaints with the FCC, the Anti-trust DIvision of the DOJ, my state's Attorney General, and my state's PUC. I imagine that a team of lawyers is chomping at the bit, readying a class action lawsuit, seeking injunctive relief, as well as some hefty damages for material breach of contract.

I have also submitted a BBB complaint as well as a complaint to the FTC (https://www.report fraud.ftc.gov) as well. I encourage others to do the same. We may not get T-Mobile to change the rate back, but we can sure waste a lot of their time dealing with as many complaints as possible. 

I have filled my FCC complaint as well. I moved quite some time ago to a One plan with the promise that my rate was locked for life. But now this new CEO has decided he no longer needs to honor the contract made. 
 

I encourage as many of you as possible to file a complaint as well. I'm also looking to see if the FTC might also be a place to complain.

The issue is that T-Mobile knows that even with this price increase it’s still lower than you can find anywhere else, so they don’t care. 
 

I remember when T-Mobile treated customers like they were important. Now they are just another large corporation phone company that can no longer be trusted.

My message said $5 per line and I have 4 lines: 2 phones, a watch & home internet. Whatever happened to price lock? My bill will be going up $40? I will be looking elsewhere for service. For one thing, and especially with all the trouble I've had lately with my 5G home internet along with Comcast coming out with a new internet service they are calling NOW for $30/month including taxes, fees and gateway making them less expensive than T-Mobile and more stable that will likely be my first change. That alone will save me $15/month (I pay $40 for the internet which will soon be $45). I'm still paying off phones and a watch but will look elsewhere as soon as those are done. T-Mobile has become just like all the others. Loyalty is a one way street with them. 

Exactly! Service isn't getting better, but yet price is going up! Plus they limit the unlimited plan

Good luck looking for a new plan for a similar price as your grandfathered rate plus $2 a line.

🤣🤣🤣thanks!

T-Mobile says one thing then does another, trying to hide behind "well the price of everything is going up" - I wasted 45 mins listening to BS from a rep in the Philippines likely getting paid $3 an hour…..    You would think their costs should be going down by moving customer service to a 3rd world country.   I was with ATT for almost 20 years, then switched to T-Mobile 7 years ago….   I am on a grandfathered 55+ plan and I was told it would be price locked unless I changed to another plan.    They are LIARS…….   They used to be a great company, but not anymore - with less than 10 days notice they are increasing the price of my service by almost 17%   ($60 two lines / $10 increase).   I don't need a Pilipino telling me its only $5  a line.   I will file FCC/ State Board of Public Utilities & State Attorney General & State Consumer Affairs (unfair business practices).   Plus, BBB / YELP/ PissedConsumer/ FB/ X/ Tick Tock/ & Insta.   They went from Hero to Zero ….   I doubt T-Mobile will do anything until they realize they are hemorrhaging loyal customers and become inundated with complaints.  There are better, lower priced choices. from other carriers and resellers. I intend on switching

Our plan is Magenta 55 which was set for life. When we look at the Price Lock information it sounds like we may be exempt from new rate increases that the message sent informed us of ($5.00 per line)??? Does anyone know? Seems we should be!
