……$5 charge…….?!

Anything that requires a human interaction comes with a cost. I flew Frontier last week and they charge for everything. A printer boarding pass at the counter is $20, paying for luggage at the airport is 2x more expensive that buying it online.

I imagine T-Mobile is going in the same direction.

ChatGPT and AI is going to eliminate a lot of white collar jobs.

just helping to eliminate what remains of the middle and lower class.
they will follow with closing most of their corporate stores as well.
"want fries with that?"

I see the reasoning and can't understand why anyone wants to store pay anymore. But still.

The only check I write is to the (giggle) accountant.

Sprint had machines that could take your payment. I guess T-Mobile threw all of them away.

This is in addition to requiring a checking account/debit card to get the $5 discount on autopay. I understand that, as well, because of the cost of using credit cards. The problem is that there are a number of credit cards that have phone insurance and it's very rare/absent for debit/checking accounts. I'm waiting to see if the TMobile Money account has phone insurance but I'd bet they won't because they want to sell you insurance on the account, itsself.

Seems like this will mostly affect those would could really use the extra $5 a month.
