T-Mobile prides itself on its “no tax, no fee” policy, and advertises as such in huge amounts, but that’s in fact true only for the basic wireless and even internet plans, but add-on services may differ.
As per Phonearena, Stateside International Talk & Text, Global Plus, Family Mode, Google One, Scam Shield Premium, Voicemail to Text, Family Allowance, McAfee Security, CallerTunes, and Detailed Billing are just a few of the features, benefits, and upgrades that are not part of the base price of your Magenta, Magenta Max, One, or One Plus plan.
Starting February 19, all of these taxes (and possibly others) will show up separately on your monthly bill, according to T-Mo’s own support webpage.
This basically means you’ll have to pay a little more for these services, as revealed by a leaked internal document, that estimates the increase to be “less than $2” a month for “most customers on tax inclusive plans” and “less than $1” for “most” other customers.
You won’t be affected by this impending change if you do not have any optional add-ons enabled on your account.
T-Mo customers who opted for an upgraded service, including Netflix, should expect to see their bills increase as well beginning next month, which makes Magenta’s recent statement on the latest Netflix price hike somewhat untrue.
Taxes and fees may not seem huge at first, but after a while they do add up, making T-Mobile’s unlimited plans a little less appealing.

But they still offer a little better pricing than competitors.
It is expected that text messages, emails, and account memos informing all impacted users about these changes will arrive soon.
The monthly increase will see a fee increase that ranges from $0.24 to $0.31 per line.
The difference isn’t huge, but it’s also nothing at all.
