T-Mobile prices class action lawsuit overview:
- Who: A group of consumers filed a class action lawsuit against T-Mobile USA Inc.
- Why: Consumers claim that T-Mobile violated its guarantee that certain wireless cell phone service plans had rates that were guaranteed to last for life.
- Where: The T-Mobile class action lawsuit was filed in New Jersey federal court.
T-Mobile violated its guarantee that the terms of certain wireless cell phone service plans would last for life, a new class action lawsuit alleges.
A group of consumers claim T-Mobile switched their cell phone plans earlier this year to a more expensive plan without their consent, despite guaranteeing the plans would either last for life or as long as a customer wanted to remain with it.
“T-Mobile has reneged on its promises to its customers and raised rates for all the plans with rates that were promised to be guaranteed for life,” the T-Mobile class action says.
The group of consumers want to represent a nationwide class and subclasses of consumers in Georgia, Nevada, Pennsylvania and New Jersey who entered into a T-Mobile ONE Plan, Simple-Choice plan, Magenta, Magenta Max, Magenta 55 +, Magenta Amplified or Magenta Military Plan with T-Mobile that included a promise of a lifetime price guarantee and who had their price increased without their consent.
T-Mobile promised rates for T-Mobile ONE plans to never change, class action claims
The consumers argue T-Mobile introduced the T-Mobile ONE wireless cell phone service plans — which the company referred to as an “un-contract” — in 2017, at which time the carrier allegedly promised the plans’ rates would never be changed.
In 2020, however, T-Mobile completed a merger with Sprint, at which time the former pledged not to raise rates on its phone plans for three years, according to the T-Mobile class action.
“Now that the three years have elapsed and the wireless network landscape has continued to contract leaving consumers with less choices,” the T-Mobile class action says.
Consumers argue T-Mobile is guilty of common law fraud and common law false advertising and negligent misrepresentation, and of violating New Jersey’s Consumer Fraud Act, the Georgia Uniform Deceptive Trade Practices Act, the Nevada Deceptive Trade Practices Act and the Pennsylvania Unfair Trade PRactices and Consumer Protection Law.
The plaintiffs demand a jury trial and request injunctive relief and an award of actual damages for themselves and all class members.
Mediation for a class action lawsuit revolving T-Mobile’s merger with Sprint failed earlier this year. The complaint argues T-Mobile forced mostly minority-owned stores to close in the wake of the merger, despite telling Congress and the public it would be opening hundreds of stores.

Yes they kept changing my payment amount. It got to the place I could no longer afford it due to fluctuating bill amount so I had to get a prepaid. I am totally unsatisfied with my experience with T-Mobile.
This whole year Ypbole has been messing with the bill
We’ve been with T-Mobile for many many years and we are in New York, but they also raised our rates also .. We have phone lines and it is getting way too expensive Way
Yes, T-Mobile raised my rates when they promised not to. Additionally, the keep charging me for 2 tablets and a cell phone that have not been in use for nearly 3 years. I cannot get through to them to cancel. The few times I made contact with someone there, they promise to fix everything but never do. They charge my account every single month!
They sure did. Also tell you that your bill will be one price and then someone else says “oh, we can’t do that”
Yes, they raise my bill. Mu bill started at a low price than increased. I had been with them for almost a year. Have I got my free phone thru the government program, I let that company go.
Mine has raised as well and I have to fight with them every month tooth and nail to have them reduce the price to where it’s supposed to be if you argue long enough they will reduce the price.
I am on a T-Mobile business plan a those plans was not supposed to increase as well a mine did. Also it’s certai benefits I’m supposed to be able to take advantage of like AAA that they don’t give me because of the way my plan was set up. Basically wit my ssn instead of the business EIN and instead of someone updating the information they just still don’t give me the AAA I’ve already considered going to Verizon
My bill was increased by T-Mobile.
Yes. Mine has increased and been with Tmobile for 8 years
I have been with T-Mobile for over 17 years, and I was told my rates would not go up and they did. I got less than a months’ notice and then when I contacted T-Mobile they gave me a BS story. Please add me to this. I am so glad someone is speaking up for us and they should pay. These big companies do whatever they want, and we the people always get stuck and have to pay more. Please contact me. Thank you
