    I jumped ship to another carrier right after they were bought out by T-Mobile and I’ve dodged price hikes and now data breaches. T-Mobile just ruins everything they touch.

      Price hikes? I just renewed for $250 for a year. I don’t remember the exact price I paid the year before, but $250 is still incredibly cheap compared to most, isn’t it?

        My wife has been with Mint for 5 years now and there have not been any increases to her plan, on the contrary, they increased the data allowance in her tier

          The numbers is the entire reason I remain with Mint. I liked Mint. T-mobile isn’t a company I’d like to do business with and will switch away the moment I see an increase if there’s a better offer elsewhere.

          I’ve been with them for something like 7 years now. Started with 1gb of data, and now I get 4gb. I’ve never changed price tier as well. Over all really great service, bummer about the breach though.

        Hmm, I think I might be mistaken on that then. I remember them announcing that they were nixing the $15 plan (which a couple of my family members were on), but it’s still there. Maybe they reverted it, or it was just Reddit spreading nonsense information. I’ll edit my comment.

        Eh, I have my folks on t-mo’s $15/each for 3.5gb/unl/unl plan. My second line is with tello for $6/mo. $25/mo is cheap compared to my at&t business postpaid plan (phone + laptop + watch for ~$130 out the door), but if I wasn’t going for features, I’d be right there with them for the $15 plan. I’d even go both lines from tello, but the difference between tmo qci6 and qci7 is brutal in my area, and often means data becomes completely unusable during the day. Over-subscribed towers. So t-mo MVNOs are a nogo for me, thus $15.

        There’s chance they did, but I didn’t get any kind of announcement email about it. I also used an email alias for my old Mint account, so if I suddenly start getting spam emails to that address, I’ll have my answer, lol
