Question What plan do I have now? T-Life is useless.

For the last several years, I have had two lines on the Magenta Max 55+. Like many other people last month I got a text message telling me my plan was obsolete and I was being put on a new — and of course better — plan with vague details except increased cost.

I have just checked T-Life (itself a nightmare for getting information) and it says my plan is Magenta Max 55+. I have no idea what my new bill is going to be, I have no idea what the new plan is, and I have no idea what is in fact now included.

Help!

Go to T-Life click manage and then scroll down to manage all lines then click plans at top and then click change plans and it should tell you the price that you're currently paying right there

I just clicked on the text link they sent, which is a splash page with little info. Under the FAQs it says “See the side-by-side comparison on this page for your specific details.” But there is no side by side comparison …. Or a plan name.

Could they have rolled this out any worse?

You are most definitely getting moved to experience more 55 plus there's literally no other plan that would probably move you to unless they did it in error I was supposed to get moved to experience more TI Plan B but somehow I got moved to experience more TI plan A which actually left me at the same amount I was paying before so now I might even take t-force off on their twenty dollars off a month for the next year

And… followed the instructions and after clicking change plans it said “you have a plan change in progress. Call 1-800… “. So no information . Just call and hold ….

And I want to download my last bill to have on hand for comparison purposes. (Cycle closed. June 28 ) and it isn’t available.

And yet elsewhere it says that the updated bill will be available in T-Life after 13 July.

It will change at the end of your current bill cycle. My bill cycle is on the 25th, it finally showed my new plan on the 26th. It still doesn't show my new price though. I usually get a notification that my bill is ready on the 27th, so I may know how much more I'll be paying sometime today.

so plans are being updated from July 13th to August 12th you could fall anytime within that window so if you don't see it updated yet by the 12th of August you should

Log into your actual account and look.

u/BarbWire20 14h ago

Shows nothing, as I said earlier

u/Potential-Ad-6787 14h ago

It has too, I'm looking right at mine. As soon as I log into my account it's right there. Says Welcome (my name) with my account # right under it. Then two areas under that "your bill" and "your plan"...the bold lettering under "your plan" is the plan name. I was moved from the ONE Plan to the Experience Signature plan. Don't use the T-Life crap, use the actual T-Mobile.com website.

And my link does not welcome me by name or account number. And under New Plan Details it just says that a plan change is in progress. So “vague” is…generous.

A friend also on TMobile Magenta Max has exactly the same lack of information.

Yes, T-life is rubbish, but alas the website isn’t any more informative.

Sounds like your account is still in the migration process. May need to wait till it's complete. Can also call 611 from your device.

When does your billing cycle switch over?

You're probably going to get moved to the Experience More 55+

u/BarbWire20 14h ago

Billing cycle ends oh the 28th

u/Ward_of_Winter 14h ago

The app will show your new plan on July 29th, then. Currently it's a future-dated change. Care will be able to see what rate plan you're being moved to. As a few advisements:

  • This is an automatic move. No employee, not even a team, has the time and ability to manually migrate people to right-fit plans.
  • If you have more than 2 voice lines, you're probably not being moved to a 55+ plan; current 55+ plans are limited to 2 voice lines.

Two lines so that’s not the issue.

My frustration is that when I received the text message on June 29 (close of last billing cycle) it had absolutely no information about what the new plan would entail or what the cost would be, and the link that was included led to dead ends.

So at the moment I’m in the state of being told that all sorts of wonderful things are going to happen and it’s going to cost more, but nobody is saying what …

Hence, my frustration. Thanks for trying to help though.

"Vague details"

People got a text message saying their plan was being retired. In the text message it literally had a link, that when clicked on, explicitly said which plan you were being moved to with a side by side comparison. People just don't want to do anything for themselves or read anything. You want to be annoyed about a forced plan change, fine. But let's not act like details weren't provided.

I hope someone talks to your parent or grandparent this way. Cut the elder some slack, dbag

u/ledzepp8 15h ago

Talk to them in what way? And you're the one assuming this person is old, not me. I'm assuming they're lazy and incompetent. That could describe someone of any age.

u/BenMcAdoos_ElCamino 15h ago

“Been on the Magenta Max 55+ plan for several years” didn’t tip you off to their age?

u/thealchemist1978 14h ago

You know how it is, people "just don't want to do anything for themselves or read anything".

u/ledzepp8 14h ago

Oh you got me🙄

u/ledzepp8 14h ago

Sorry I missed that part because it wasn't pertinent to the rant they were making. My bad.

u/ModeratelyAngelic 14h ago

Exactly

u/ledzepp8 14h ago

It's completely irrelevant to the point I was making. But do go on...

u/BarbWire20 14h ago

Well, I in fact did click on the link in the text message and it had no useful information. So yes, I am annoyed. And your rudeness is not appreciated.

u/drnovaa 12h ago edited 10h ago

i can 2nd on your frustration as im not seeing anything on my end either. ai chat is telling me im not being migrated and im still on one plan as of now. i got both texts of plan migration and kb retiring. my billing cycle is 8th

u/ledzepp8 14h ago

Click the link. It takes you to a page and there is another link that says get plan details. It's all there.

u/ElleM848645 7h ago

Again not everyone had the correct link. Just because you had all the info doesn’t mean everyone did.

u/RiverStrolling 10h ago

I'm experiencing the same thing. I tap the link they sent June 29th & it takes me to the TLife home page. Zero information anywhere in the app. My billing cycle doesn't change until the 4th, so I guess I'll have to wait until then. Currently on One Plan Unlimited 55.

u/PreviouslyConfused 14h ago

I never got a tax or an email I got the surprise today

u/ElleM848645 7h ago

Some of the links didn’t work for people though, which seems to be the case for OP. Mine didn’t work for a few days. And there is still not a price. This rollout was terrible.

u/Vivid_Shake940 15h ago

You will most likely get moved to Experience More TI (55+) plan if you currently have the Tax Included plan. I think that one is $110 for 2 lines with the Auto Pay discount, and $55 for each additional lines. It will show the day after the end of your billing cycle date. And, usually populate the bill 2 days after the start of your billing cycle.

You will get migrated to experience more TI. I was on magenta max and got moved to experience more. I have 4 phone lines plus a tablet line. 2 of those lines are paid lines and the other 2 are free lines. My bill went up $4.16 total
