T-Mobile keeps promising not to raise prices, but once again, they’ve raised fees to the customer – and they continue to cut out the dealers who built the business.

We’re still hoping someone on r/JapanPlan files a formal FCC complaint – the group has even committed to paying the $540 filing fees for anyone that does.
