T-Mobile .. the Uncarrier has become the carrier like AT&T and Verizon
For all the good and bad that the 'Uncarrier' has been, it has definitely chosen to become like the carrier that it claimed to despise.
No hidden 'fees', taxes or below the line extras. Essentials effectively is fees and taxes added to your bill.
No 'administration' or 'connection' fee. In the past couple of years, T-Mobile has added $35 to ALL device upgrades and new customers (postpaid here).
No forced 'bundling' of add-ons. Well... not exactly 'forced' for Essentials, but for other postpaid s. Netflix, Hulu, Apple+ ...
T-Mobile's "Uncarrier Next" is effectively what much of this is about.
From Wikipedia
On January 6, 2017, T-Mobile presented its latest un-carrier 'un-carrier next' at CES in Las Vegas, Nevada. CEO John Legere and COO Mike Sievert announced several 'new rules'. The first was to eliminate wireless service and access fees in an effort to make the pricing more transparent. The prices for all T-Mobile service plans will now be exactly as advertised without any additional or hidden fees. The second rule introduced was the 'kickback' program. Individuals and families on the T-Mobile One plan who use less than 2GB of data a month will receive a $10 statement credit. The third rule introduced gives customers the guarantee that no aspects of their particular plan will change unless they amend them. In effect, T-Mobile 'signed' a contract stipulating they will not alter any of the service plans. Finally the fourth item introduced was to simplify their offerings. T-Mobile will only offer the T-Mobile One unlimited plan to new customers beginning January 22, 2017.
I am on the T-Mobile One plan, and have now been hit with a $5/line rate increase (5 lines).
