Patriot Mobil, they are a Godly owned company that believes in my values and doesn't support wokeness like the companies listed here. Know where your money goes to support.

Sprint was our first cellular in 2004, T-Mobile bought them in 2018. Our last increase was from Sprint was 2013, Four phones $93.00 month.

T-Mobile retained the same cost, until April 2025, next month billing. Only 2 lines are being billed the $5, other 2 are free. I get too many perks along with MLB, for phone or Device’s.

Our phone use for conference calls, business meetings, is well worth the $10 increase. Plus 2 lines gets a new phone every 2 years, for minimal cost

Default Why aren't you using Consumer Cellular?

Why aren't you using Consumer Cellular? I've used them for years, They use many of the same cell towers as Verizon or ATT. The costs for everything less than #35 for TWO LINES unlimited talk.

Don't bundle your phones with the cable company. The deal they give you looks good and it is for a short time then you start playing the negotiation game every year. They give you a "good" deal on the phones but are making it up on the other services they are charging you for.

There are so many "discount" cell phone providers like Mint, Visible, Consumer Cellular and others either giving the same exact or better deal than the cable companies.

Don't get fooled by the cable company. Just be aware of other options when making your decision.

Life has grown too short to waste any of it chasing cost savings that are just temporary anyway.

I can’t imagine going through the pain of changing carriers for $5 a month. No thank you.

We are on the Magenta 55+ plan. $70 for 2 lines including taxes. I called T-Mobile and was assured that my rate was not going up. Before switching, I’d call them first.

It's actually very simple these days. With some carriers you can do it on-line!

Switched from Verizon to Visible. Less money and same service. Very satisfied.

I am in my second year and have had no problems.

On a side note Ryan Reynolds owned 25% of Mint when it sold to T-Mobil for $1.3 Billion. mint mobile ryan reynolds sale - Google Search
We’ve had Mint Mobile for 4 years- $15 a month, never a problem. Not sure why anyone pays more for cell service.

Maybe length of time you have been active. We have never switched to senior or special offers because nothing comes close to our cost.
Our increase is for only 2 out of 4 lines. Just received a text that I can add Fifth line for zero increase on monthly rate. Waiting for what phone will be available. Our plan 5 phones $103.47 unlimited text and minutes, plus MLB, upgrade 2 Phones. With the increase.

He said we were grandfathered in to our current rate. Not sure why.

I got the notice from t-mobile about the $5 per month increase.

The next day I called T-Mobile support and asked why I received the notice of the increase when I have a legacy TMobile One plan with life lock on price. The support person needed to go offline for 5 minutes to verify my plan. She returned, apologized and verified that I am on a legacy plan and would not see the price increase.

The whole experience was less than 10 minutes

Yes, 6-gig is plenty unless you watch movies on your little screen.

USMobile.com

Sim or e-Sim. No hand-holding at a store, but good and fast chat service.
Must have an unlocked phone.

Have had over 2-years. Never a problem, except needing help in playing musical chairs with phones. Never a problem. Uses the Verizon network.
I'm grandfathered at $25 total/mo (yes, $12.50/line).
Yours will be slightly higher, but not so much unless you gotta have infinite data, etc.
Not enough for us and we do not watch movies on our little screen.
