I've changed plans on T-Mobile multiple times and never been charged a fee for doing so. It's also trivial to change plans or add/remove services via their website.
Not planning on changing again since I'm now on their unlimited loyalty plan for $40/month (unless they offer something that includes Internet for less than the $79.99 mentioned here).

“Everywhere else in the world, consumers buy their phones and phone service independently. ” unfortunately not in France. The standard plan of all major carriers is with a “cheap” phone.

this aims at the top end of the market. to be truly revolutionary we need a similar option at the bottom end of the market. instead of renewing a $40.00/month plan for two more years and getting a new free phone give me the option of keeping my old phone and paying only $20.00/month. such plans are offered in almost every EU nation. we need them here in the US. we need new super cheap voice only plans for users that bring there own phone.

Something wrong t-mobile is doing to people bearing with them for years: They charge the $35 activation fee when you switch from an old and expensive plan to any new one. That's unfair for those who've been supporting them for years. $35 just to change from plan to plan, just to put some representative's finger in a keyboard. That's ridiculous and unfair, T-Mobile… You should “thank” supporters and not punish them.

Interesting move. I can see many cases where you buy the phone from somewhere else (Bestbuy/Amazon?) and get one of these deals with it. And the services that is promoted in that deal is the one I really care about (Gmail, Facebook, Skype, Spotify, Twitter etc.).
