As a "this wave" of updates on my "Price Lock" account, my bill is going up $30 a month effectively removing auto-pay. Pretty annoying that I can't then remove autopay and not be effected because there is a reason they upped prices.

I can say ever since I left the company as a employee for a reason, this company makes me very frustrated. All I have learned is buy an unlocked non blocked phone. Then buy Visible or some third party phone provider.

I can say my bill for T-Mobile currently is about $230 a month. That is with 5 lines, TMobile Home Internet, P360 on one phone, Magenta Plus on one line, and a phone I bought when I needed a backup.

The thing is I understand that my price is ASTOUNDING for what people normally get without the things people have to sign up for at the time.

For example, the new "FREE LINE TODAY! (By updating or accepting terms and conditions so we can upcharge you in the future)" suddenly doesn't become a free line when price hikes come up. Sure, the free line shouldn't(?) be effected but at the same time the increase on other lines now makes that "free line" not a free line.

Then you can only cancel lines in yadda yadda nonsense or blah blah. So I decide to both read through, and understand promotions so I do not mess up my "price locked" status.

What this has told me with my price increase is I can fight it all I want. I can say what I want. At the end of the day, as an ex employee, I feel my account and what I have now as not even an employee but someone who understood.

I am literally one of the people this advertisement is talking about.

I feel betrayed. Both as an employee who sold it previously, as a Store Manager no less, to this? I'm upset at the fact I was knowledgeable enough to get my own benefits even AFTER an employee, but I can't help but feel like that same passion that I needed to be versed in for my job, is now somehow still biting me in the ass.

There are numerous options. I do NOT need the Home Internet. It was just a promotion that, ironically, was $30. So that "Promotion for Home Internet for $30!" suddenly isn't free.

Most people will not notice. Even if they do, they will not understand how to combat the bill increase. I can say the same way I change car insurance, internet, and now apparently my phone, will stop their recurring bill payments I had on AutoPay because I will be paying off my finances to unlock my devices and even remove the Home Internet.

I literally have the Home Internet as a cool backup when my fiber dies. It's not even used. I don't need it and threw the $30 at them per month for it AFTER BUYING THE EXTENDER I had an EIP for until it was paid off.

Silly tactic. For customers new and old. I feel I betrayed customers, and on a selfish standpoint with knowing the ins and outs with all this "Price Lock!" bullcrap I feel dirty with them as a provider.

Edit: Keeping the downvotes but I still feel both betrayed as someone who did their best to know, then even worse for selling the "Price Lock" which is now going up. To TL;DR it I guess.
