Postpaid plans really make so little sense to be on these days. All the “freebies” cost money in the end.
Prepaid plans on MVNOs are the way to go.

That’s why I don’t like payment plans or any sort of lock-in subscription, even if it means I can’t get exactly what I want. I’d rather compromise and make an outright purchase.

How will tmobile even know you switched phones? I’m about to get a 17e at an Apple store and I think you can move it over in minutes due to esim.

I hate Verizon pulling similar stunts recently like locking prepaid phones to the carrier until you pay 1 year of service (used to be 90 days before the courts allowed them to extend it).
That said, Visible is less than half my old T-Mobile bill with slightly better service. I honestly forget I’m on a prepaid MVNO now. If you want to stay on the same network, Mint Mobile seems adequate as well. There are dozens of others.
Postpaid has become such a hostile scam.

Just save your pennies and buy unlocked from the manufacturer. So much easier than dealing with these greedy bastards.

I have just learned my AutoPay is being canceled. T-Mobile claims my debit card is a charge card. My expiration date on my debit card changed Card Number did not! T-Mobile claims my card is a Mastercard Charge Card, My bank Says it’s a Mastercard Debit Card. Who is writing T-Mobile software and why is the CEO trying to find more ways to charge customers. Hello doesn’t he realize people will get fed up and leave T-mobile

T-Mobile started pissing me off a few years ago when I extended my plan for lines for my parents. They got one of the free phone deals which was great in practice, but we came to find out that it was less of a free phone and more of a lock in device. You get credits for the phone for 2 years. If you break your contract, you need to pay the remainder back. Was just scuzzy how it was advertised. We had no intention of leaving our plan when we got the phone. Now that those devices are done with, we are leaving the service for good.
IIRC, phone companies got into huge trouble for lock in contracts. Seems we are back to square one in that regard.

If they dick with my Go5G+ plan to the point where it’s no longer worth keeping the plan, I’m just going to go back to Cricket. Simple as that.

We buy our phones outright (and unlocked) and prepay agreements only. We can opt out any anytime and move on if we don’t like what they are doing or where they are headed. We just bailed on Verizon, their coverage in areas we normally are was in a steep decline.

All these people saying MVNOS are the best. Don’t realize majority of Americans can’t afford to buy a phone outright. So they finance and sit on post paid. Like come on it’s the same talk every time this comes up.

This is what happens when companies are increasingly allowed to ‘*monopolize*’ by freely buying up the competition leaving us with essentially 3 major carriers who have also bought most, if not all of the MVNOs as well and now they get to put the squeeze on customers at will, because there’s increasingly less *choice*.
I mean, in case it’s not obvious – most if not all of these carriers are working towards a $100 a month ‘unlimited’ plan, per person, if they’re
not there already and what are consumers actually getting compared to the previous plans @ ~$50 a month? Some bs ‘streaming bundle’ tacked on that we never asked for?…
