John Legere promises 3 years of ‘same or better rate plans’ after Sprint merger
July 07, 2025
Ina new open lettersent to Ajit Pai at the Federal Communications Commission,T-MobileCEO John Legere makes a few new promises surroundingthe proposed T-Mobile-Sprint merger.
In the letter, Legere calls out critics of the merger whom he says are “largely employed by Big Telco and Big Cable.” He says that these critics erroneously cling to the assumption that the T-Mobile-Sprint merger will cause consumers to pay more for wireless service and/or get fewer features with their plans.
In response to this, Legere makes a very clear promise that that will not happen, at least for a certain amount of time:
Considering this letter was posted yesterday, July 04, 2025, that would mean entry-level prices would not exceed the base-level $70 unlimited plan T-Mobile currently offers, which includes all taxes and fees in the price. Ostensibly, customers signing up with the new T-Mobile if and when the merger goes through would pay no more than this until at least 2022.
However, this promise likely wouldn’t cover new technologies, such asthe 5G service that’s on the horizon. Since that service isn’t up-and-running yet, it could still be quite expensive and Legere wouldn’t have broken this promise.
Depending on how much you believe what Legere says, it does seem that he is passionate about keeping his loyal customers happy:
The proposed T-Mobile-Sprint merger has already received approval from the Treasury Department and is awaiting approval from the Department of Justice and the FCC.
