Back in late June, T-Mobile announced plans to retire many of its oldest legacy plans. Customers on these older offerings would automatically be upgraded to a newer Experience plan, with the average price rising by about $4 per line.
Unsurprisingly, this move has caused a lot of backlash, and many customers are now frustrated enough to consider leaving. I understand the temptation, and for many, it could absolutely be the right move. Still, before you jump ship, let’s look at just five things you should do before pulling the trigger.

Whatever you do, don’t panic and reactively quit T-Mobile without doing some homework. The very first thing you should do is check your latest bill, as it should have your new rate and plan by now.

The amount will vary, though the average family should expect an increase of around $20-$25 a month in total.
Now that you have a better understanding of the increase, it’s time to figure out your exact needs and whether any alternative carrier might be a better fit.
