T-Mobile will move some customers to pricier plans, who don't opt out

I'm glad I only buy unlocked phones, as switching service is 10 times easier, but we get locked into monthly subscriptions on so many things now, including on app store purchases that life is becoming a hellscape of abuse and dependency on large and already rich individuals and companies.

The people who aren't rich working within these companies have accountability for this too, it's really not going to change at all until people start holding actual individuals that make these policies accountable.

If T mobile has millions of customers and they erroneously charge each of them one dollar, that's a lot of money. Here we're talking about the deceptive charging of millions of customers in excess of $50 to $100 dollars each, and even a later class action suit would only end up as 1% or less of the profit they earned from this fraud. All the mobile providers are pulling stunts and fixing pricing on service now too. Enough is enough.

And wait in the hold queue for someone at T-mo to answer. Get that done within the one week remaining before end of month. Then you're good -- until the next time T-mo issues another such diktat. And why would they wait any longer than it takes for the public reaction to the current move to die down?
