fiduciary duty requires that directors of corporations protect the interests of shareholders’ investments—including maximizing profits where reasonable and within the bounds of the law.

even if technically illegal on paper (which i’m not sure it is), so long as there is no enforcement or accountability, t-mobile and similar entities have literally no reason do do better. they are literally just holding up their end of the law.

in other words, this unfair treatment isn’t just one of many unfortunate flukes. it is literally baked into the system as a requirement.

After how fucking god awful the Sprint merger was handled I don't think I can trust t-mobile to do anything right

I'm surprised I havent read from the comments how funny it is: Of course I know it wasn't a true restriction, after all its a man made program; however, isn't it convenient for years T-Mobile told customers those plans had restrictions, line caps that could not be changed, saying they couldn't make changes to the plan and you would have to switch plans to add more lines.....

Yet, they are able to raise price as it fits them... Comical and pathetic.

Self imposed limitations....

T-Mobile is trying to retrofit this bs, gaslighting people, well trying to based purely on greed. This " pay your last months bill " is something new.

It was both implied and understood when I selected that plan that the price would not change as long as we kept the plan. There was no promise or guarantee. This was an agreement.

Because my rate would not change this directly influenced how I did business with T-Mobile AND their competitors by deciding to upgrade, accept a promotion, decline a competitors offer, remain a customer, remain on my plan versus newer ones, etcetera.

Are people being wilfully obtuse or just dense. If the Price Lock / UN- Contract always had a 60 day "promise" this would have been brought up years ago. In fact, it states (ed) the opposite and the rates should not be changing. The way T-Mobile is handling this is disgusting. I could respect them more had they said " we are breaking the terms we proctored to you and will pay all penalities and fines associated both civil and arbitration, we also recognize how this violates consumer trust, we are officially the company we keep " - The Re-Carrier

Honestly, these "promises" never last. I had ATT at $50/mo for home internet service and was promised it would never go up. Last year it went to $60 and this year $65. I just switched to Xfinity. More Mbps than ATT, promotional price of $20/mo for a year, it goes up to 35 for year 2, then after that the promotion is over and it's $57. After the 3rd year ends it will probably go up, but they've basically given me 1 free year of internet.

Happened to us using cricket also. Forever family plan of 5 lines for $100 so long as the plan is never adjusted.

Well 2 months ago, bill showed for 130. I called and they said they are doing away with that plan. When I pointed out the 'forever' part, they actually pulled a Darth Vader and said they were altering the plan and that I had enjoyed the low cost for much longer than new clients.

Fuck off

Yeah mine is holding steady so far. If it goes up too much i might have to go back to mvno

Century Link is pulling this shit too.

I'm still on a grandfathered plan from when I first got my Sidekick. lol
