This is felony level bait-and-switch going on, here. This really should have criminal charges attached to the perpetrators.
Telecom companies and trying to fuck over their costumers, name a more iconic duo
Nestle and pretty much anyone
Lifetime of the service not of the human paying for it. 😊
But T-Mobile is still offering the service, so it is not the lifetime of that either.
The service whose lifetime is over is the “lifetime price lock”.
Careful, Users. TMobile is large enough to go the Boeing route, and start making people disappear. Then, Users, your Lifetime Price Lock will be literally void.
Although, it would also be void if tmo died–err… disappeared…
Yep, I quit T-Mobile and switched to Mint last month for this exact reason. Fuck those greedy bastards. My price is now 1/4 what I was paying before, and everything else is exactly the same. Should’ve done this years ago.
Didn’t T-Mobile buy Mint this year?
Yes lol
Fucking hell.
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 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, but a couple dozen sociopaths at the top got significantly richer, so fuck this entire portion of the population. Clearly the right people won.
/s
They could easily claim damages, considering they may have made sacrifices over the years against other providers in anticipation of the T-Mo guarantee.
Legally, yes. In practical terms, spending $1000 to fight a lawsuit and win $50 isn’t realistic, and I’d be willing to bet T-Mobile forces arbitration anyway
That’s what class actions are for.
“Not for long,” T-mobile said as it dispatched hit squads to quash the lawsuit rebellion.
Must be owned by the cousins of Boeing.
Are Pinkertons back on the menu?
This time they will suppress the slaves in both permutations as a wagie and as a consoomer.
Only thing you can rely on staying the same anymore is Costco hotdogs.
Boost Mobile is advertising the same thing right now. Who actualjy believes these ads?
Aint it grand how contract in the US is only enforced against the customer?
Do you remember that time when company got too many arbitration claims and was able to a court to allow to get from that contract?
“Because it was not fair to them and this is not the system is intended to work”
On one hand, I kinda get it. Corporations do things, and if they get killed over small oversights there will be very real effects for many people
On the other hand, holy fuck, look around. Everything is going to shit, the planet is literally dying and we’re not even living it up anymore
In the US companies are people. If a company is a person, then their actions should be judged as such. Oh noes, we saved 2 million dollars by not building a new retaining wall around the coke processing plant, and the old one let it leak into the river and affect drinking water. We’re sorry. Oh a fine and waivers of legal fees for $500 per person affected? 600k total? We still win! How about conviction for negligence, and CEOs go to prison for 3rd degree manslaughter? (Also fuck Freedom Industries).
