Back in August, I wrote about how T-Mobile USA changes their pay-as-you-go plans<\/a>. It is even worse than it seems.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m back again this month, and find that if I want to change to the $3\/day unlimited calls\/text\/data plan, I have to wait till the next month<\/strong>\u00a0(i.e. the next billing cycle). Previously this would just work immediately, as long as I changed it online.\u00a0<\/p>\n

My options to get data now? Pay $10 for a 1-week High Speed Data Pass with up to 1GB of traffic to utilise. There\u2019s also a $5 day pass.\u00a0<\/p>\n

T-Mobile reminds me of my experience with DiGi. Both were underdogs. Once they get more market-share (in T-Mobile\u2019s case, maybe a better network\/selling the iPhone; in DiGi\u2019s case finally getting a 3G license back in the day), they just can\u2019t handle the load, and graduate from their underdog status to being worse than the incumbents. I\u2019m still a T-Mobile & DiGi customer, but the question is for how long more?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
