For those asking about a class action lawsuit, it was filed yesterday in U.S. District Court in the District of New Jersey, requesting a jury trial as a result of T-Mobile breaking their promise to not raise prices for those of us covered by the Un-contract and their Price Lock. For those wishing to have a look at the complaint, here’s a link:   https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NuzIh7lhRBwDRxFxa_RxAU3fxSMDQO4f/view?usp=sharing

How do we go about joining the class action lawsuit?  Please advise - thanks.

This is pretty new, but I believe that members of the class will be notified by the court if it allows the case to proceed. In the meantime, you may want to go on the T-Mobile site and opt out of their arbitration clause. https://www.t-mobiledisputeresolution.com/en/TMobile/OptOut

That opt out is only good if you activated a line less than 30 days.

Hopefully the governmental agencies like the FCC, State AGs, etc. will be more proactive and convince T-Mobile to rescind their "Breach Of Contract" rate increase.  Also if the national and local news report on the class action lawsuit, more affected individuals will join...

My attorney asked me to do it anyway. I wonder how many of us got a copy of T-Mobile's Terms & Conditions when we signed up for the plan, and/or were told they had 30 days to opt out. I know I didn't. It's worth opting out unless & until the court decides that we can't… it's in their hands now.

I;m going to hit up ADA with Accommodation request.(Disabled Vet on SSDI fixed income - This is a huge deal)), CPFB, FCC, state and federal congressional and senate members, AARP, anyone else I can think of or you can suggest.

Talking to USA customer service when they open.  Asian folks always end up screwing me in the end.

https://www.consumerfinance.gov/complaint/

https://advocacy.consumerreports.org/ This one is fairly new I believe.  Other govt. branches/officials did not succeed in shutting this down yet in 2016-2020, Although dude fought plenty hard for it.

Not sure if it was in this thread, but writing these 3 folks also, copying all in 1 e-mail:

• • • Mike.sievert@t-mobile.com CEO
    • jon.freier@t-mobile.com Pres. consumer group 
    • Pedro Montalvo
      • Sr. Specialist, Executive Response, Team CEO
      • Direct 425.403.1503 | Pedro.Montalvo@T-Mobile.com

Searching for Class Action, but nothing yet.  Plus they take a LONG time.  Most recent re:data breach has still not been awarded.  T-Mobile is appealing.
 

Plenty of anger energy today - Never seen something so sleazy. 

I’ll reply if anything hits.

I have been with TM for over 22 years and on the One55 plan locked price. I also got a message of a $5 ,increase. Honestly, I don't mind because there isn't anything out there that comes even close to the benefits TM offers automatically with each plan. If it is the point that we are supposed to be locked in, ok, I get it. However, it has been well over 10 years since I have had any price increase even though I benefited from upgrades without paying. Such as 5G. I took this time to upgrade my plan and got amazing benefits and specials. Yes, it is an increase in my bill but I'm saving on the back end because I can cancel some of my streaming accounts. I'm on a tight budget and fixed income as well, but if you do a little research and talk to an agent politely, you might find switching plans could save you money in the end. If not, Is $5 really that bad/much considering what they give us for free? I personally don't think it's asking too much. I haven't found anything else out there that comparable to what TM offers in the same price range. 
 

I've got (or had) Magenta max 55+ for 3 years and $39 price lock on Home Internet. For me it's not about the $. It's that they also had the nerve to dis-honor prior commitments and auto-changed people to a new plan. No place for opt out. Wirst, which you may not have noticed, but all "new" plans come with significantly lower data and throttling limits  Depending on where you look you get different answers WRT these changes. Multiple government contacts starting today for me  

 

It is NOT the money… it IS the principles !!!

Upon receipt of my email to the CEO (pasted previously), the office of the T-Mobile CEO has reached out to me.  A very nice lady who identifies as a "Senior Specialist, Team CEO" called me late this afternoon.  She was quite willing to listen to my story, and expressed her apologies for the fact that I was "disappointed" in the service.  Although she was totally cordial and professional, this was obviously a "CYA" followup.  She assured me that the credit for my last month's cost would be applied.  Nowhere, however, was there a mention of the fact that a promise was ever made or broken.  She, once again, mentioned that "inflation" was hard on everyone, and that the price increase to those of us who were promised our monthly cost would NEVER increase was necessary.

Nuff said!
