AT&T and Verizon Hike Rates on Old Plans

Jul 28, 2023, 7:38 AM by Rich Brome @richbrome

Verizon and AT&T are both increasing the monthly rate for some of their older plans. AT&T is increasing the monthly charge of its Unlimited Elite plan by $2.50 for phone lines added before August 1, 2022. Verizon is increasing the price of "select legacy plans" by $3/month. This reportedly impacts the 5G Start, Go Unlimited, Beyond Unlimited, Beyond Unlimited w/5G Ultra Wideband, Above Unlimited, Above Unlimited w/5G Ultra Wideband, and Single Unlimited Talk & Text 500MB plans. Verizon implemented a similar $2/month price hike on other legacy plans in April.

But why??

Why do they do this? I know it's to get you to move to a new plan, but why does that matter? I got them to move me to a new better plan for the same price I've been paying on the legacy plan. And the last time they did this they moved me to a better, new at the time, plan for LESS money.
