“T‑Mobile will never change the price you pay for your T‑Mobile ONE plan.” That was the promise. The Un-contract. The whole reason millions of customers picked the magenta team over Verizon and AT&T in the first place.

Billing changes hit mid-July for the current wave. The company that swore it would never surprise you with a rate hike just sent the notification.
I’m from small town Oklahoma. I understand the type of people that you describe.
Some of my family is the same way. I, like you decided to live my own life and never had a close relationship with more than a couple of family members.
Hope your nephew is strong enough to withstand the pressure and live his own life when he’s an adult like you have.
