- baby-yoda 2y agoIIRC, Connect was proposed as a 5 year solution, I fully expect T-Mobile to discontinue Connect as soon as possible.
- walterbell 2y agoMerger was in 2020, which implies that Connect ends next year. If 2024 wireless price competition is lacking, can US regulators extend Connect beyond 2025?
- chris-smith 2y agoNo, but I won't be surprised if the plans stick around longer. Speculating here, but I think odds are good T-Mobile continues to offer them for longer than required & just stops the annual data increase it has been doing
