T-Mobile has announced a new round of price increases set to go into effect next month. This time around, the company is raising prices by as much as $5 per line for subscribers on many of its legacy plans.
The carrier says this is a continuation of a price hike it began rolling out last year and that customers with Price Lock are not impacted.
T-Mobile is raising prices
As usual, T-Mobile is being incredibly cagey about the exact details of who is impacted by these price increases. The company says affected customers will receive a text message if the price of their plan will increase next month.
The changes appear to impact subscribers grandfathered into older T-Mobile plans, such as Magneta MAX and T-Mobile ONE, as reported by countless affected customers on Reddit today.
Here’s the text message being sent to affected customers:
For the first time in nearly a decade, we’re making an update to the price of some of our monthly ersvice plans. Starting on 4/2/2025, your phone plan will increase by $5 per line per month. You’ll keep all the benefits you currently enjoy, and your rate plan type and bill due date remain the same.

Overall I'm pretty happy with T-Mobile. If they're still less expensive than competitors I'd stay. But my Magenta plan already went up $5 so whether I were to stay or go, I wouldn't be happy about another increase.
T-Mobile directs affected subscribers to its website for more details about the price changes. The carrier routes that its customers “still save an average of 20% compared to AT&T and Verizon on comparable wireless and streaming services.”
CNET obtained an internal memo from T-Mobile president Jon Freier about the price increases. Freier points to “rising costs over the past several years” as the reason for the price hikes. Additionally, he says that T-Mobile customers who saw a price increase last summer will not see an additional increase this time.
Subscribers to T-Mobile’s newest family of plans (Go5G, Go5G Plus and Go5G Next) are unaffected by these increases.
