T-Mobile really does seem to be doing a great job in the States. Being in the UK I have no vested interest in the matter, but John Legere seems like a great guy who has done wonders for the company.
You guys should all tweet him the positive feedback and get your family and friends to switch to T-Mobile to reward him.
I don't want to disagree, but he is doing his job. He works for the shareholders. That has benefits for the customers, but there is a slowly disappearing rug from under our feet.
I ported to T-Mobile in September of last year. My plan is Simple Choice, $80 first line, $30 second line for unlimited data. This was a $30 price increase then from when it was $50. A few months after becoming a customer T-Mobile raised the price of the plan to $95. I was grandfathered and I hadn't even been there six months!
Now we have the TM1 and TM1+ plans. Same price (with Autopay) as the previous $95 plans. Only that's still a price increase for me and to get the tablet data that I get on my current plan the price is double from $10 to $20 per tablet. The current plans appeal to Verizon and AT&T customers however, but generally have very little appeal to those T-Mobile customers on older plans.
With TM1 you can't turn BingeOn off. You can with TM1+, but you pay extra and it's a toggle you have to go into your account and flip every morning. It's not automatic.
I added my son to our plan recently and if he ever wants unlimited data as my wife and I have he will have to leave our plan. T-Mobile gives us the capped options that were present when we got the plan we have, but not the UD tier when you add a line now.
So my point is that Legere may in fact be a nice guy (not so sure about that) but his focus is on profit and not necessarily anything that directly benefits me the customer if it happens to not benefit T-Mobile. Supposedly, the rug will be yanked out completely on those of us on the older SC plans in 2019 as we will be forced into a different plan.
That said, I am absolutely happy with my customer service experience so far. 16 years with Sprint has made me appreciate what is so far great service.
