“Price-locked” T-Mobile monthly bills increased?

You may be entitled to up to $500 or more, depending on your state of residence.

  • You may qualify for this claim if you signed up for one of T-Mobile’s wireless service plans that guaranteed a set price-locked monthly rate and your monthly rate increased in June 2024.  
  • T-Mobile users who value their consumer rights should sign up.
  • All claims are backed by Labaton Keller Sucharow, a national law firm that has recouped over $27 Billion for people like you.

T-Mobile is the second largest wireless carrier company in the United States.  Like most wireless carrier companies, it sells wireless phone service on a monthly basis.  In 2017, T-Mobile announced its “Un-contract” price guarantee promise for certain T-Mobile plans, including the T-Mobile ONE Plan, Simple-Choice Plan, Magenta Plan, Magenta Max Plan, Magenta 55+ Plan, and Magenta Amplified Plan.  T-Mobile advertised that it would never change the price you pay for your T-Mobile plan, stating “Now, T-Mobile One customers keep their price until THEY decide to change it.  T-Mobile will never change the price you pay for your T-Mobile One plan.” T-Mobile continued advertising the “Un-contract Promise” guarantee for certain plans into April 2022.  
In May 2024, T-Mobile announced that it would be increasing the price of some of the older rate plans, including plans that had been sold with the “Un-contract” guarantee, at a rate of $5 per line, per month. For example, a T-Mobile user with a legacy plan that included the “Un-contract Promise” that cost $100 per month for four lines would now cost $120 per month.  In response to customer complaints to the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”), T-Mobile stated that the “Un-contract” guarantee only guaranteed that if T-Mobile were to increase its prices and customers chose to leave as a result, T-Mobile would pay the customers’ final month recurring service charge.

We allege that T-Mobile sold millions of wireless phone subscriptions to consumers with the “Un-contract Promise” without properly disclosing that the “Un-contract Promise” meant that T-Mobile still could increase the rates of the plans.  We are representing clients in individual arbitration claims against T-Mobile for violating state consumer protection laws which require T-Mobile to fully disclose the terms of its wireless plans before customers enroll.

If you signed up for a T-Mobile plan between January 2017 and April 2022 that included the “Un-contract Promise” (T-Mobile ONE Plan, Simple-Choice Plan, Magenta Plan, Magenta Max Plan, Magenta 55+ Plan, or Magenta Amplified Plan) and the rate of your T-Mobile plan increased this year, you may qualify for a claim under your state’s consumer protection law of up to $500 or more, depending on your state of residence.
