T-Mobile customers slam the door on their way to the underdogs after double price hike

T-Mobile has been making headlines lately, but not for new features or plans – rather, for upsetting its users. Last month, the Un-carrier raised prices for some customers, sparking a major backlash. And just the other day, another price hike was reported, pushing users even further away, with some even considering jumping ship.Many users took it online to share their frustrations with the latest fee hike, which will make monthly bills even heavier. And while T-Mobile isn’t the only carrier raising fees – this one is tied to an increase in the Regulatory Programs & Telco Recovery Fee – users have every right to feel frustrated and explore other options, especially because this is the second price hike in less than a month. All this, however, could be a golden opportunity for smaller carriers like Mint, US Mobile and Google Fi. Plus, it looks like more people are leaning toward prepaid plans since they offer clearer, fixed costs, helping customers avoid these unpredictable increases.
