T-Mobile to Charge New $35 Activation Fee From Nov. 15

imdb · Nov 2, 2022

Internal documents have revealed that T-Mobile is set to introduce a wide-ranging new $35 activation fee later this month.

As The T-Mo Report reveals(Opens in a new window), T-Mobile will charge what it's calling a "Device Connection Charge" (DCS) of $35 on most transactions. That includes new line activations, line upgrades, postpaid mobile, Beyond the Smartphone, and "broadband device types including BYOD, phones, tablets, laptops, smartwatches, hotspots, high-speed internet gateways, and other connected devices."

Until now, T-Mobile has been applying a one-time "Assisted Support Charge," which used to cost $20, but rose to $35 a year ago. However, it could be avoided by purchasing online rather than in a store. DCS replaces that fee on Nov. 15, as confirmed in a post on Reddit(Opens in a new window), and is being applied much more widely (including to online purchases). It should earn the company more money from its 110 million subscribers, but it eliminates one of the advantages it had over rival carriers.
