If you’re on an older T-Mobile plan, your bill is about to change. Starting with billing cycles in mid-July 2026, T-Mobile is force-migrating customers off legacy Simple Choice, ONE and Magenta plans onto a new set of “Experience” plans built for these accounts — a move that reportedly touches more than 8 million customers and raises most bills by a few dollars per line.
Here’s what the new plans cost, what you get, and what budget-minded customers can do about it.
What’s changing and when
T-Mobile is retiring its old legacy plans and moving affected customers automatically. The change shows up on your next bill cycle — you don’t have to opt in, and the migration happens whether or not you take action. According to the reporting, T-Mobile added more than 62 new plans for this migration while retiring roughly 1,100 legacy plan codes in their place.
How much more you’ll pay
The increases are applied per line, and they vary by line type:
| Line type | Monthly increase |
|---|---|
| Voice (phone) line | +$6 per line |
| Watch / tablet line | +$3 per line |
| 5G Home Internet | +$6 |
T-Mobile characterizes the typical impact as an average of about $4 per line. Those figures assume the autopay discount on up to eight lines and don’t account for any free or BOGO lines or special discounts already on your account, so your exact change may differ.
The new “Experience” tiers
- Experience Signature Select — the base migration destination, offered in three variants (A, B and C) that differ only by price, based on what you were paying before.
- Experience Signature — adds 60GB of hotspot data, Netflix (with ads), 15GB of Canada and Mexico data, 5GB of high-speed international data, and the $3 Apple TV+ promo.
- Experience Beyond — the top tier, with 250GB of hotspot data, Hulu (with ads), 30GB of Canada and Mexico data, and 15GB of international data.
What budget customers can do
Postpaid price hikes like this are exactly why the prepaid and MVNO market keeps growing. Prepaid customers aren’t part of this forced migration, and the same T-Mobile network is available through lower-cost brands. If a few extra dollars per line is the last straw, it’s worth comparing your new Experience-plan rate against a prepaid unlimited option — several now sit well under what a migrated postpaid line will cost. Our coverage of recent prepaid plan changes and budget phones to pair with a cheap plan is a good place to weigh the switch.
