    Doesn’t that open them up for a lawsuit then? Either breach of contract if it’s in their legalese, or at least false advertising.

      Easy fix:

      1. “Sorry, we no longer offer a T-Mobile ONE plan, therefore your plan has been converted to a regular T-Mobile plan. If you object to this you may terminate your account.”

      2. “Due to increased costs and a whole bunch of reasons that has absolutely nothing to do with our greed we will have to raise the price of our regular plan.”

      Disclaimer: IANAL

      Contracts in perpetuity don’t hold up, especially since this isn’t even a contract. They always expire at some point, unless renewed.

      A claim of false advertising could hold up, but again that’s a promise not held in a contract.

      Finally, it looks like that marketing campaign was over 7 years ago. No court would ever hold them to business plans from that long ago. They have to provide adequate notice for any changes (often 30 days), but they can certainly discontinue a program.
