T-Mobile Raises Line Fee Again to $5.49 a Month on Newer Plans

T-Mobile raised its Regulatory Programs & Telco Recovery Fee from $4.49 to $5.49 per voice line on October 12, the third increase in about 18 months. Mobile internet lines go from $2.10 to $2.60. The fee sits outside the plan price, so price-lock guarantees don't cover it.

• Per-line fee rose from $4.49 to $5.49 a month
• Mobile internet lines go from $2.10 to $2.60
• A four-line account pays $4 more monthly, or $21.96 total
• Older plans with taxes and fees included are unaffected
