T-Mobile has been lauded as the “Un-carrier”. It offered cheaper rates compared to Verizon and AT&T, and it’s always been the more fun of the carriers. However, there’s nothing fun about fees. According to a new report, T-Mobile is adding a new in-store fee.
T-Mobile has had some turbulent times lately. Being a T-Mobile customer is getting more expensive as time goes on, and being an employee is not much better. The company has been letting go of a ton of workers along with other tech companies. Also, we can’t forget about the several data breaches that the company has suffered in recent history. Hopefully, things will change for the company as we approach the second half of the Year.
T-Mobile is adding an in-store fee
The company has been hard at work closing down its brick-and-mortar stores. This means fewer employees to help customers and fewer stores for people to receive in-person assistance. This is, as expected, a move to stave off Financial losses.
This is unfortunate for the people who lost access to these stores. However, people who do have access to the stores or also met with some unfortunate News. According to The Mobile Report, T-Mobile will be adding an additional fee for people who want to pay their bills in-store. This will be a $5 fee on top of their bill.
That seems like a pretty big smack to the face, seeing as T-Mobile has been adding different device connection charges to people’s bills lately. Also, the company removed the auto-pay discount. It seems that T-Mobile is looking for more ways to squeeze money out of its customers, and you can bet that they will be upset.
While the turbulent economy is affecting companies, it is, of course, affecting the millions of users who rely on T-Mobile’s services. Houses are more expensive, groceries are more expensive, gas is more expensive, Etc. So, an extra $5 fee on top of their monthly bill doesn’t make things any better. The company will start charging this fee on July 19th.
