T-Mobile may be quietly planning a change customers will hate
T-Mobile has been losing customers left and right, with the company reporting a 5 basis point increase in customer churn year-over-year. This report came in the company's first-quarter earnings report for 2025, and it refers to the number of customers who canceled service. Rising prices on older rate plans, coupled with publishing plan prices that didn't include taxes, are some of the potential reasons why customer dissatisfaction with the uncarrier is growing. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Unfortunately, current and future T-Mobile customers may soon get some more bad news about the company's policies. This time, the issue is not with the cost of the monthly plans that consumers have to choose from, but is instead related to T-Mobile's payment installment programs. These programs allow consumers to finance smartphones, which most people choose to do because the upfront cost is simply too high. T-Mobile has offered installment plans on phones for over a decade, dubbing them "Equipment Installment Plans" or EIPs. But now evidence suggests the phone carrier is planning to change how these plans work, a move that could wind up being very unpopular. Image source: Bloomberg/Getty Images Since T-Mobile began offering phone financing, the company has always allowed customers to pay off their phones over a 24-month period. But a listing glitch on the company's site, coupled with information from internal sources, suggests that this will be changing very soon. According to The Mobile report, an internal T-Mobile document revealed that at least some devices would soon shift to a 36-month EIP. The website also temporarily showed a 36-month EIP plan for certain Samsung Galaxy Watches on the site's product pages. Related: T-Mobile's new partnership will ease major customer concern Both the internal document and the website changes have been removed, but they are still fueling rumors that longer payment plans are on the way. Of course, stretching out the financing time for phones and other devices would help the company to keep its customers for a longer period of time. When you finance a phone, you can't leave the carrier until the device has been paid off, unless you come up with the cash. This means T-Mobile could effectively lock in plan users for a whole extra year. While the change may be good for the company's bottom line and could offer cheaper prices for those financing their equipment, there are also some big downsides for users. If T-Mobile makes this change, the company will undermine the value proposition it offered to consumers years ago with "Phone Freedom," which allows customers more flexibility in what they do with their devices. A key part of "Phone Freedom" was a "New in Two" guarantee, which promised customers that they would be able to upgrade their devices every two years on select plans. If T-Mobile makes financing a phone a three-year commitment, users will not be able to upgrade the device or leave the carrier as quickly. Related: T-Mobile's new free phone deal is hard to beat A T-Mobile shift to a 36-month financing plan would bring the company's policies more in line with competitors, as both Verizon and AT&T lock users into financing their phones over 36 months. AT&T made the change to longer financing periods in mid-2021, and Verizon followed along eight months later. It remains to be seen whether the new T-Mobile policy will eventually go into effect, or if the internal document and website glitch were just test cases. It's also unclear whether this change will apply to all devices - some plans do offer the New in Two promise, so the company may honor that commitment.

Of course, they may not be able to act on that anger if they get stuck in one of the new 36-month contracts that lock them in for the next three years.

Forget T-Mobile. This new unlimited 5G offer is so good it has a waiting list
Many users have become very tired of major cell phone carriers and their shenanigans. For example, while T-Mobile managed to add more than 40 times the number of customers Verizon did in 2024, as well as nearly doubling AT&T's new customer number, the carrier has also been the subject of many customer complaints recently. Consumers have accused T-Mobile of price gouging, of obscuring plan costs by not including taxes in the listed price, and of quietly eliminating popular plan options, including Go5G PLUS and Go5G Next Plans. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter The company also experienced a five basis point increase in customer churn in 2024, according to its 2025 first quarter earnings report – and rumor has it that it will be increasing its financing plans to 36-month-long plans instead of 24-month-long plans to tie customers to the "uncarrier" for longer. As customers become increasingly dissatisfied with the major carriers, the Mobile Virtual Network Operator is seeing an increase in market share. MVNOs offer mobile phone and data service, but don't own physical networks. Instead, they lease network capacity from network carriers. Now, there's a new offering among MVNO operators, and the deal it's offering is such a good one that it actually has a waiting list. Image source: Mordant/Bloomberg via Getty Images The competitive new cell phone plan is being offered by a big-name company that most people are already aware of: Klarna. Klarna is best known for its Buy Now, Pay Later platform, but it has announced that it is launching a cell phone plan that will operate on AT&T's network and that will be built on the Gigs' mobile services platform. Related: T-Mobile's new partnership will ease major customer concern The focus of the plan is its simplicity, with the company offering just one plan option instead of many. Currently, the plan is available only in the United States, but Klarna expects to expand to Germany, the UK, and other countries soon. The plan will offer: Unlimited 5G data that always stays at 5G speeds. Unlimited talk and text Nationwide coverageNo fees for activation or cancellation. Setup can reportedly be completed in minutes directly within the Klarna app with no need to visit a store, and customers can keep their current numbers if they prefer to do so. Ongoing plan administration will also happen right in the Klarna app, and the company promises that the onboarding process will be incredibly simple, with no more than a few taps needed. Users will also have the opportunity to manage their account within the Klarna app after signing up. More Retail: Costco quietly plans to offer a convenient service for customersT-Mobile pulls the plug on generous offer, angering customersKellogg sounds alarm on unexpected shift in customer behavior The total cost of the plan will be just $40 per month, which is a relative bargain as the average monthly cost of cell phone service in the U.S. is around $141 per month. "Consumers already know and love Klarna's super smooth services and now, with one tap in the Klarna app, they'll be up and running with their new phone plan – no hassle, no hidden fees, just great value," the Sebastian Siemiatkowski, CEO and co-founder of Klarna said in a statement. Klarna already has 25 million active users in the United States, and the company is hoping that its new foray into the mobile phone industry will meet a growing customer demand for a simple solution, as the company indicated their consumer research found many Americans believe mobile phone plan management is too complicated. Related: T-Mobile shares game-changing tech, free for anyone to try Co-founder and CEO of Gigs, Hermann Frank, has described Klarna's entry into the mobile market as a step towards a new connectivity between teelecoms and financial services, while also indicating that Klarna's new plan is a major upgrade for consumers compared to current phone offerings. Unfortunately, not everyone will be able to get in on this new plan when the service launches in the coming weeks. There's a waitlist already for U.S. users, so those who are interested will need to sign up within the Klarna app to get their chance at accessing the plan.

Foothill Gold Line Dedicates Four New Metro A Line Stations From Glendora to Pomona
Hundreds of community members, elected officials, higher education and transportation officials celebrated the new stations across four ceremonies in June 2025 MONROVIA, Calif., June 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- This month, the Foothill Gold Line Construction Authority (Construction Authority) held a series of station dedication ceremonies in the corridor cities along the 9-mile, four-station Foothill Gold Line light rail project from Glendora to Pomona. Attendance was diverse and large across the four ceremonies, with hundreds of community members, elected officials at all levels of government, transportation officials and higher education officials joining the Construction Authority to celebrate each of the new Metro A Line stations. The $1.5 billion project began major construction in July 2020 and reached substantial completion on time and on budget on January 3, 2025, and is extending the Metro A Line to the cities of Glendora, San Dimas, La Verne and Pomona. The project has since been turned over to Metro, with the agency currently carrying out final preparations to ready the extension for passenger service. Metro has not yet announced a start date for passenger service, but it is anticipated for later this summer. 'Today, we celebrate more than just four new stations; we're witnessing a true game-changer for the San Gabriel Valley. This summer, when Metro A Line trains begin service, it won't just be about getting from A to B,' stated Foothill Gold Line Board Chair and Claremont City Council Member, Ed Reece. 'It will be about unlocking unprecedented access to jobs, education, and entertainment, transforming how our communities thrive and connecting millions across the greater Los Angeles region like never before for generations to come.' The four historic ceremonies were each attended by hundreds of community members, elected officials at all levels of government, the Foothill Gold Line Board of Directors, members of the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) Board of Directors, transportation officials – including Foothill Gold Line CEO Habib F. Balian and senior Metro leadership – and San Gabriel Valley stakeholders. The notable list of speakers included U.S. Representatives Gil Cisneros and Norma Torres; California State Senator Susan Rubio; California State Assembly Member John Harabedian; Metro Board Members and Los Angeles County Supervisors Hilda Solis and Kathryn Barger; Metro Board Member, Foothill Gold Line Board Member and Pomona Mayor Tim Sandoval; Metro Board Member and Glendale Mayor Ara Najarian; Foothill Gold Line Board Chair and Claremont Council Member Ed Reece; Foothill Gold Line Board Vice Chair and Glendora Council Member Mendell Thompson; and SGVCOG President, Foothill Gold Line Board Member and La Verne Mayor Tim Hepburn. Past and present Foothill Gold Line board members, as well as mayors and council members from throughout the Foothill corridor, also attended. 790 KABC radio host Frank Mottek served as the Master of Ceremonies for the dedications in Glendora, San Dimas and Pomona; Chair Reece was the Master of Ceremonies in La Verne. 'Completing these four new stations and the overall 9-mile project from Glendora to Pomona on time and on budget would not have been possible without the support, partnership and dedication of our corridor cities, elected officials and staff,' stated Foothill Gold Line CEO, Habib F. Balian. 'The Construction Authority is tremendously grateful to have had these corridor cities by our side, as we navigated the project's construction through the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, record heat waves, and torrential rainstorms.' Each of the four new stations features a center platform with light rail tracks on both sides for eastbound and westbound trains; multi-modal parking facility with EV charging and amenities for riders arriving by bus, bike, walking or drop-off; tens of thousands of square feet of landscaping, including hundreds of native and drought-tolerant shrubs and trees adorning the walkways and station areas; and unique station artwork designed by a city-selected station artist/artist team that incorporate each city's history, culture and landscape. The four new stations will provide connections to important regional destinations like the Fairplex (recently announced as the venue to host cricket for the 2028 Olympic Games, and home to the annual LA County Fair), colleges and universities, historic downtowns, museums, regional parks and open space areas, and much more. In addition, the extension will provide a direct link between the Metro A Line and Metrolink San Bernardino Line in Pomona, allowing riders from each system to easily transfer – creating endless possibilities for connections throughout the region. The Foothill Gold Line was the first Measure M-funded light rail project to break ground and is named one of Metro's 28 priority projects to be completed before the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles. It is funded by Los Angeles County's Measure M, along with residual funds from Measure R not used to complete the Pasadena to Azusa segment; as well as State of California greenhouse gas reduction funds. Media kit with photos from each ceremony, project maps, station photos and station fact sheets is available at About the Foothill Gold Line Construction Authority – The Construction Authority is an independent transportation planning and construction agency created in 1998 by the California State Legislature to plan, design and build the Metro Gold Line light rail system from Union Station to Montclair (now part of the Metro A Line system). Over the last 25 years, the agency has successfully completed more than 34 miles of light rail and 23 stations over three construction segments - Union Station to Pasadena in 2003, Pasadena to Azusa segment in 2015, and Glendora to Pomona in 2025 - all on time and on budget. The agency is preparing the final 3.3-mile, two-station project segment from Pomona to Montclair for construction, which will include stations in the cities of Claremont and Montclair.
