Looking forward to seeing how this plays out. I’m on the Magenta plan. It’s already more than enough for my needs so it’ll be interesting to see what they have to offer and how they receive my opt-out.

This is bonkers. Why not just send a notification about new pricing plans and allow customers to opt-in? That’s rhetorical.

I had what was their "top tier" Magenta Max plan.

Now with the newer plans they made, if I want to do a phone trade in or upgrade I don't get as good of a deal on Magenta Max. I only get the better deals if I'm on one of their new and even more expensive plans.

So right now they aren't (yet) forcing a price increase or making me switch plans, but they did make any future phones obtained through them more expensive for me to get.

My wife and I were planning on switching this weekend from AT&T after nearly 20y but that's not gonna happen.

Switch to their prepaid plans! My wife and I pay $15 each for 3.5GB each, and if one/both of you uses TikTok/Reels then the 6.5GB plan is $10 more. For us, can't ever beat $30 and we get foreign SIMs when we travel.
