If you’re a T-Mobile customer, your rates might be on the rise.
After announcing a price bump less than a year ago, the mobile carrier is doing it again — and once again, it’s affecting customers on older plans.

According to an internal memo to T-Mobile employees obtained by CNET, some legacy plans (plans that aren’t offered to new subscribers but are still available to existing subscribers) will see a $5 per-line increase starting April 2, 2025. Since these legacy plans are retired, it means those subscribers are among the company’s most loyal and long-term. T-Mobile blamed the increase on “rising costs.”
All existing plans should stay the same for now.

T-Mobile says that if your plan falls under the “Un-contract Promise,” which guarantees your rates won’t increase, it will pay your final month’s recurring service charge if you decide to leave (as long as you let the company know within 60 days).
