good luck getting that , users
Any guarantee of a price lock with the stipulation of “You can just NOT use us if we ever decide to fuck you over!” - should come with HEAVY penalties.
“Sir, the customers are complaining about charging more money even though they had a pricelock for life deal”.
“Yeah? And? Fuck em!”
I mean…I kid, but that’s the CEOs legit stance on the issue.
What are these bitches gonna do about it?!
They could switch ;)
Verizon and AT&T both already cost more.
At least when Verizon ran this scam it was “as long as you have this plan” and tricked you into changing plans
MVNO?
I was a T-Mobile customer for awhile and am on AT&T now. In my region it’s always one or the other with the best coverage.
I was going to switch to Boost Infinite right before they became Boost. Still trying to figure out if Boost will work on AT&T, Boost, T-Mobile networks like Boost Infinite did because if they do, smell ya later (kinda) AT&T!
I’m on Mint Mobile and they’ve not disappointed me yet. TBF, I have minimal expectations.
Mint Mobile only works on T-Mobile. I’m wanting something that works on both. My wife is still on T-Mobile, and whenever we travel our state one when one of us has no signal, the other does. I’d like an MVNO that can automatically switch between the two.
Google Fi supports this but last I heard it doesn’t work on iPhone.
So yeah, I’m the opposite: I have high expectations if I’m going to switch.
Aint it grand how contract in the US is only enforced against the customer?
Do you remember that time when company got too many arbitration claims and was able to a court to allow to get from that contract?
“Because it was not fair to them and this is not the system is intended to work”
On one hand, I kinda get it. Corporations do things, and if they get killed over small oversights there will be very real effects for many people
On the other hand, holy fuck, look around. Everything is going to shit, the planet is literally dying and we’re not even living it up anymore
I mean, the justice system is kangaroo court. Two overpaid people stand in a room and argue technicalities, not right vs wrong. It’s a complete farce designed to fatten people’s wallets.
That is not a “small” oversight. It’s very intentional, deliberate, and fraudulent.
In the US companies are people. If a company is a person, then their actions should be judged as such. Oh noes, we saved 2 million dollars by not building a new retaining wall around the coke processing plant, and the old one let it leak into the river and affect drinking water. We’re sorry. Oh a fine and waivers of legal fees for $500 per person affected? 600k total? We still win! How about conviction for negligence, and CEOs go to prison for 3rd degree manslaughter? (Also fuck Freedom Industries).
Corporations getting killed for mismanagement isn’t a problem. That’s make believe. Another Corp will pick the bones of the first one. The first should die. Corporations were always meant to last only a couple decades by design.
“Not for long,” T-mobile said as it dispatched hit squads to quash the lawsuit rebellion.
Are Pinkertons back on the menu?
This time they will suppress the slaves in both permutations as a wagie and as a consoomer.
Must be owned by the cousins of Boeing.
Telecom companies and trying to fuck over their costumers, name a more iconic duo
Dupont and nature
Samsung and the Note 7
This one was about blowing them, not fucking them.
Had an upgrade while all that was going on. Got a free 50 inch TV for staying with Samsung for my next phone.
Nestle and pretty much anyone
Only thing you can rely on staying the same anymore is Costco hotdogs.
There’s also there’s also the perpetual feeling of “what dumbfuck in the government though this up”. That never leaves us
Can’t rely on that either. The CEO who threatened to kill over trying to change the hotdog price has been gone for a while now.
Boost Mobile is advertising the same thing right now. Who actualjy believes these ads?
Yeah, but a couple dozen sociopaths at the top got significantly richer, so fuck this entire portion of the population. Clearly the right people won.

Legally, yes. In practical terms, spending $1000 to fight a lawsuit and win $50 isn’t realistic, and I’d be willing to bet T-Mobile forces arbitration anyway

One of the companies making GPS navigators for cars used to advertise lifetime map updates. Small print: lifetime of the device, two years after release
I bought my dad’s 2014 MKZ off him 4 years ago. They stopped producing GPS updates several years before I bought it off him. According to the device, there are times it thinks I’m driving through farmland when I’m at a Target parking lot.
i keep hearing about this price hike but my bill hasn’t changed since 2008.
I still have the T-Mobile G1 phone plan.
I’d just keep my head down if I were you
Yeah I kept a tmo plan for a stupid amount of time. Eventually MVNO plans were just cheaper, so i switched. Why does anyone want to stay on some legacy plan anyway? Were any of them any good? This is what I would get for very low usage on tmobile now:
Before eSIM, tmobile global data and text in 150 countries was the dream for my 5x trips a year. Now I just pop into the Eu and pick up a prepaid month European esim and spend €20+€15 additional month vs the $200 a year I was spending. Italy even has a deal in the summer now for €15 for 30 days.
I still have the T-Mobile G1 phone plan.
Man that was a great phone.
My plan isn’t quite that old, but it’s getting up there. They recently increased my price by a few dollars per line. Then they tried to get me to move to a current plan, which turned out to be 20% higher price for less return. I had to try not to burst out laughing at the poor guy’s face.
I’ve been with TMo for more than 20 years–they’re the only carrier I’ve ever used–but if my price goes up again I’m jumping ship.
Loved my HTC Dream (G1)
It got slow after a year, then I put a custom ROM on it and it was a brand new phone.
I remember seeing this commercial. I knew then it was horseshit.
“This is what happens when the government lets companies swallow the completion (the latest being Sprint). We have antitrust laws in the country that are being ignored and ultimately the consumer loses,” a New York resident told the FCC.
YES. The government needs to stop rubber-stamping these enormous mergers.
The government is actually helpless to stop these mergers (see Lina Khan). It’s the courts, which Republicans have been packing for decades.
“swallow the completion” really sounds like a fellatio joke…
Your mom is a fellatio joke
you shouldve been fellatio
ehehehe gottem
If you can’t beat 'em, swallow them.
Or after you beat them
This is felony level bait-and-switch going on, here. This really should have criminal charges attached to the perpetrators.
T mobile going downhill since merging with sprint and losing Legere.
Who could have predicted less competition resulting in worse service other than everyone
Caught me completely by obvious
