T-Mobile's Forced Plan Migration Blows Up, Deletes Free Lines and Invents New Charges
T-Mobile encountered technical errors during a forced migration of longtime customers to new rate plans, accidentally canceling some users' free-line promotions and resulting in dramatically higher bills for some affected customers. The company has acknowledged the mistakes, attributing them to technical issues, and says it is working to restore the free lines and reverse any erroneous charges. However, the broader price increases of up to $6 per line that triggered the migration remain in place, continuing a pattern of billing controversies that has angered loyal T-Mobile customers since the company abandoned its lifetime price guarantee in 2024.
T-Mobile Is Dragging Broadcom to Court Over VMware Support It Paid For
T-Mobile has filed a lawsuit against Broadcom in a New York court, arguing that Broadcom was contractually obligated to continue supporting its VMware perpetual licenses after the company attempted to renew support for a third year at around $5.28 million but was refused. The dispute stems from Broadcom's acquisition of VMware, after which it discontinued perpetual licenses in favour of more expensive subscription bundles. A judge has granted T-Mobile a temporary injunction allowing it to receive support through August 2026, while the company continues migrating tens of thousands of virtual machines off VMware — a complex process involving over 1,000 applications.
