T-Mobile is raising rates on some of its older service plans by $5/line. The company did something similar with a different set of old plans last year. All affected customers should have received notice last Thursday. The company refused to explain exactly which customers were affected, saying "Not every customer on every plan is impacted, in fact, the majority of our customers are not included." The change goes into effect April 2nd. Verizon and AT&T have also raised rates on old plans in recent years, in one way or another.
