What happened
Letitia James's office announced an investigation into T-Mobile regarding pricing practices in New York. The office alleges that T-Mobile violated its Price Guarantee Plans by raising prices by approximately $5 per phone line in 2024. The investigation stems from T-Mobile's pledge to 4G customers between 2017 and 2019 to never change the price paid.
