T-Mobile ToGo raising text messaging rates to 20 cents
Hi there! If you're new to the site, you may want to subscribe to the the feed.
Bad news for those who are thinking of using T-Mobile To Go prepaid. Prior to this week, their text messaging rates were among the best for major carrier prepaid. You could send messages for 10 cents, and receive them for 5 cents. However, it appears that has changed. I found it first on Howard Forum, and now it’s even on the official T-Mobile site. Text messaging will be 20 cents to send and receive.
For the time being, it appears that current users are grandfathered into their 10/5 deal. The 20 cents deal only applies to new customers. However, it seems it will only be a matter of time before they raise rates on current customers.
Anyone going to leave T-Mobile once they implement this rate hike for existing customers?

Hopefully this is foreshadowing some variety of message bundling. I’d switch to T-Mobile in a heartbeat if they started offering prepaid messaging bundles.
