It looks like T-Mobile is implementing new fees to its prepaid channel in the coming days. 

According to The Mobile Report, the Un-carrier is getting rid of its Prepaid SIM Starter Kit and replacing it with a one-time Device Connection Charge (DCC) fee. Starting March 21st, you’ll have to pay $25 to activate a new SIM instead of paying the $10 SIM Starter Kit. What’s worse is that eSIM activations will now come with the DCC fee instead of being free. 

In addition to the DCC fee, T-Mobile will charge a $5 in-store payment support charge every time you get assistance from their reps at a store. Yes, this is not a one-time fee. It will cost you $5 every time you get help. 

The report shares that the in-store payment support charge will be implemented after April 25, 2024. 

We’ll have to wait until T-Mobile officially announces these new charges.
