When you take a look at your carrier, particularly if it’s one of the big three, you’ll see that they have a slate of plans. For instance, T-Mobile has Go5G and Verizon has its myPlan options. However, these weren’t always available, and one day, they will likely be usurped by a newer set of plans. At that point, Go5G, for instance, would become a legacy plan.

It’s not a crime to stick to your legacy plan, especially if the pricing is just right for you, especially compared to what you get from it. However, in the eyes of the carrier, you deserve to be persecuted. Legacy plans are frequently hit with price hikes, and T-Mobile’s CEO has just hinted at another price hike being the fate of those on legacy plans in 2025.

As a consumer, you already spend money on so many other things, but even if you just look at subscriptions to digital services, the average person has enough on that front—music, home internet, work tools, video streaming, cloud storage—to make the slightest price hike a major annoyance. It’s why the last thing that most people want is to hear something that their mobile plan, a 21st-century necessity, is going up in price.

Unfortunately, for those who have pitched their tents with T-Mobile as their carrier of choice, particularly those still on the carrier’s legacy plans, a price hike seems to be in their future for 2025. For full context, this is based on comments from Mike Sievert, the CEO of T-Mobile. His exact words were, “You’re going to be hearing about us… getting back to some of the adjustments of the legacy pricing that we began last year.”
