n notifying longtime customers of a forced mobile plan upgrade.

Affected customers can opt out of this automatic upgrade by calling T-Mobiles Customer Care support line.

News of the forced upgrade surfaced in a Reddit post on October 10th.

Automatic payments require a debit card or bank routing details.

T-Mobile did not reveal the upgrade paths for its customers.

That said, the aforementioned Reddit post included a document with unconfirmed migration details.

Again, these details have not been confirmed by T-Mobile.

There’s a great irony to this story.

All the affected plans were introduced in the mid-2010s during T-Mobile’s “UnCarrier” campaign.

The affected customers will be notified of the forced upgrade via text message and email on October 17th.

But the ability to opt out isn’t a generous gesture from T-Mobile.

It’s an excuse to draw more money from customers who aren’t paying attention.
