i keep hearing about this price hike but my bill hasn't changed since 2008.
I still have the T-Mobile G1 phone plan.
I'd just keep my head down if I were you
I still have the T-Mobile G1 phone plan.
Man that was a great phone.
My plan isn't quite that old, but it's getting up there. They recently increased my price by a few dollars per line. Then they tried to get me to move to a current plan, which turned out to be 20% higher price for less return. I had to try not to burst out laughing at the poor guy's face.
I've been with TMo for more than 20 years--they're the only carrier I've ever used--but if my price goes up again I'm jumping ship.
Loved my HTC Dream (G1)
It got slow after a year, then I put a custom ROM on it and it was a brand new phone.
Yeah I kept a tmo plan for a stupid amount of time. Eventually MVNO plans were just cheaper, so i switched. Why does anyone want to stay on some legacy plan anyway? Were any of them any good? This is what I would get for very low usage on tmobile now:
Before eSIM, tmobile global data and text in 150 countries was the dream for my 5x trips a year. Now I just pop into the Eu and pick up a prepaid month European esim and spend €20+€15 additional month vs the $200 a year I was spending. Italy even has a deal in the summer now for €15 for 30 days.
That's why I spent 2k to import an iPhone from Canada instead of buying one locally. I travel to Costa Rica often and I keep my tmobile esim for most other tasks, but I can pick up a sim for $5 and that will last me most of my trip as long as I'm smart with my data usage.
