Leaked internal T-Mobile document reveals limited time cut in activation fee starting today،

An intern T Mobile document obtained by The mobile report shows that T-Mobile's “device connection fees,” a controversial fee subscribers pay when they upgrade their phones or activate new lines, are being reduced for a limited time for new customers. These fees also have their critics, who consider it a tricky way for the operator (and other mobile companies that also impose such fees) to collect additional revenue from their customers.

From today, Friday March 8, T Mobile reduces the “device connection fee” on newly purchased lines to just $5, which is a reduction of $30. The document states that the reduced fees will be automatically applied to transactions made online, in-store or through support. And although the reduced $5 fee starts today, T-Mobile lists the end date as TBD, meaning “To Be Announced.” In other words, until T Mobile announces the contrary, the reduction will remain in effect.
