T-Mobile switches users to pricier plans and tells them it’s not a price hike::T-Mobile: "We are not raising the price... we are moving you to a newer plan."

I had what was their "top tier" Magenta Max plan.

Now with the newer plans they made, if I want to do a phone trade in or upgrade I don't get as good of a deal on Magenta Max. I only get the better deals if I'm on one of their new and even more expensive plans.

So right now they aren't (yet) forcing a price increase or making me switch plans, but they did make any future phones obtained through them more expensive for me to get.

My wife and I were planning on switching this weekend from AT&T after nearly 20y but that's not gonna happen.

Switch to their prepaid plans! My wife and I pay $15 each for 3.5GB each, and if one/both of you uses TikTok/Reels then the 6.5GB plan is $10 more. For us, can't ever beat $30 and we get foreign SIMs when we travel.

That's what we are thinking only concern we have is our neighbor who uses I think cricket who's the prepaid AT&T equivalent says he isn't having good luck with it. I'm not sure what would cause that and I'd hate to support some like T mobile by using a brand that contract through them. Verizon and US cellular are not options for our area due to service not being good.
