It’s getting crowded on my “Companies That Suck” list
Roll Out the Magenta Welcome Mat: T‑Mobile Completes UScellular Deal
From MacRumors: “T-Mobile announced the acquisition back in May 2024, but it was contingent on regulatory approval. According to Reuters, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission approved the merger in mid-July after T-Mobile ended its diversity, equity, and inclusion programs.
T-Mobile sent the FCC a letter with a promise to end DEI on July 9, and the deal was approved two days later. T-Mobile said that it was eliminating its DEI-related policies “not just in name, but in substance."
According to T-Mobile, the UScellular acquisition is a “big win for customers.” Existing UScellular customers will be incorporated into the T-Mobile network. While UScellular users can keep their plans for the time being, T-Mobile will begin allowing them to the transition to T-Mobile unlimited plans “as networks and systems are integrated.”
I’m happy that last December, based soly on the fact that a single non-senior adult “MAX” wireless plan on T-Mobile cost me north of $150 per month, I took my business to US Mobile. I could not be happier with the coverage, customer service and the price: paying annually, I get the Unlimited Premium plan for $32.50 per month, with an Apple Watch device line included in that price.
