A reported resolution related to some old T-Mobile unlimited plans got the carrier into trouble last week, and the company’s CEO now says he never intended to continue in that direction; rather, it was just a small-scale test.
The latest progression contradicts a CNET report that the company had shown its plans on the site. . .
The T-Mobile documents were first leaked on Reddit and corroborated by TMO.
As first shared on Reddit and shown through us here at The Mobile Report, T-Mobile plans to automatically migrate consumers from older plans to a newer Go5G equivalent plan.
At the moment we only had leaked documents, but they really gave the impression of being subtle documents intended for clients.
But CNET later reported that T-Mobile had shown off the plan.
The carrier showed CNET that starting next week, notices will be sent to T-Mobile users on its older One, Simple Choice, Magenta and Magenta 55 Plus plans, warning them that starting with their November billing cycles, their respective plans will replace and their monthly value will increase.

He added that the check would only have an effect on “a small subset of consumers with older rate plans (some from ten years ago). “However, this doesn’t mean much, as only a small percentage of consumers would have benefited from those plans. specific packages, so this would be true even if it had effects on all of them.
While the company has yet to make public comments, Sievert would, of course, be aware that a company-wide email would be temporarily shared with the media.
Sievert’s statement may be true. However, given the subtle nature of T-Mobile’s prepared materials for the migration and the confirmation reported to CNET, a skeptic might think it’s more likely to be a comprehensive plan — the company has noticed the backlash against it and is now thinking. Again.
