T-Mobile quietly made a significant change to its business unlimited plans back in May, which has only recently come to light. Unlike the public backlash over rate hikes, this change has stirred up some minor concerns among business users.

Previously, T-Mobile included taxes and fees in the prices listed for certain business plans with less than six lines. However, the carrier has now shifted its pricing strategy by excluding taxes from the advertised fees, even for plans with one to five lines.

The updated pricing structure applies only to new customers, while existing customers will continue with the previous pricing model. This adjustment aims to align T-Mobile’s pricing strategy with competitors like Verizon, who also do not include taxes in their advertised prices.

By removing taxes from the listed prices, T-Mobile can avoid giving the impression that its business plans are more expensive than those of its rivals. Additionally, covering taxes and fees could have been impacting T-Mobile’s profit margins, prompting this strategic shift.

While some users are unhappy about this change, particularly those considering expanding their business lines, there is speculation about whether this policy might extend to individual users in the future. Although unlikely, T-Mobile has demonstrated a willingness to make controversial changes in recent months while maintaining its market position effectively.
