I am going to cancel my service anyway and then sue T-Mobile in small claims court. Their policy does not change contract law. Whether you have gone over or not is not relevant. They have already admitted that it is a material change because they have released people from their contracts. There is no usage clause in the contract so their claims are false. Also, you have until 15 days AFTER it takes affect. I had the same experience as Chris. I am going to cancel my service anyway and then sue T-Mobile in small claims court.

Thye also said that the cut off date for terminating under this scenario was 8/9/2008. I would love to not pay them $400 so if anyone else has any suggestions, I am all ears...

T-Mobile has very good customer service. I still have the service and won't switch until I find a phone/service I like better. If you ask out, be sure to ask to speak to an account specialist.

T-Mobile will try to bully you into staying. If you have the time and energy, submit a "Demand for Arbitration" to the American Arbitration Association. This group is very helpful if you call them.

When I log into my T-Mobile account, I am presented with a link stating "Messaging rates will change on 8/29/2008". Clicking on the link takes you to a page that states: [Starting August 29, 2008, messaging rates will increase to 20¢ per message. This change applies to messages you send or receive while you are in the US, Canada, or Puerto Rico. If you have a messaging bundle or a plan that includes messaging, the new rate will apply to domestic messages in excess of your monthly allotment.] The text above is immediately followed by a list of their messaging bundles and a link which, when clicked, takes you to a page allowing you to change your purchased services.
