5G Internet price drop

pphw, I did think that when I first called.  Using the bill estimation and adding Netflix etc it was over the subscription costs.  Yes the “Max” data allocation and benefits was more but I did not expect a reduction from $50 to $40 per month on current plan would increase my total bill if I did not move to MAX.

You would pay more but would you benefit for the Max additional benefits?  Looks like many of the free or $800 off phone offers require Max.

I would guess this $25 promotion is in response to the new $25 Verizon 5G Home Internet promotion that also requires a qualifying phone plan.

I guess switching to Verizon would be an option for existing T-Mobile customers.
 

Yes, the Verizon $25 plan has a 10-year price guarantee, but you also must get a specific phone plan. Who knows what the costs would end up being?  And 10 years later? I could easily switch to Verizon 5G internet and phone where I live, but have no interest.  If T-Mobile fails me, I will go back to Cox.  They offered me a $20 reduction last August when I called to cancel their internet service.  They have apparently gone back into the cell phone business, too.  In the past, they had cell phone service, but it didn’t last long, as far as I remember. I’ve never been unhappy with my T-Mobile phone service, and my internet only goes out every now and then and only for a short period of time.

P.S. How come you can’t copy and paste what you write in this forum before posting?

Well, that would be depending on availability and all the additional terms and conditions including a contract more than likely. Not my cup of Java.

I thought the catch was the phone and internet with autopay. Still if a new phone is needed and a line that is a pretty good deal to tap.

I just signed up for internet only last week and it’s $50. The $25 limited offer is only for a new bundle w/ phone and internet and Autopay, like mentioned above. If it’s internet only, it’s $50/mo. 

The “special” seems to have a catch. With a qualifying voice line and AutoPay. 

Limited-time offer; subject to change. Qualifying credit, voice line, and new unlimited Home Internet line required. 

It the terms and conditions are the same or not I don’t know. Sure it would be nice to have to pay ½ as much but only if the service would remain at least what it is for now. From my point of view the solution is still the best option we have and the only maybe possible option would be Verizon wireless but I don’t know if they yet have 5G in this area. No good options here without spending more money.

They are doing that for a limited time. They do specials like that all the time fishing for new subscribers. 

Is the time limited for getting the deal or limited for how long they will only have to pay $25?  For others to only pay $25 while we current subscribers have to pay $50, is totally unfair, in my opinion.
