A flurry of Pacific Northwest tech moves includes Dropbox naming Mike Torres its first chief product officer after stints at Google and Amazon; T-Mobile orchestrates a leadership reshuffle with Chris Sambar named chief enterprise officer and Michael Katz exiting while André Almeida’s role expands to marketing, brand and broadband.

T-Mobile Lets You Grab the iPhone 17 for Free With Trade-In or Switch

T-Mobile is offering the iPhone 17 for free when you trade in an eligible device on Experience More or Experience Beyond, and the iPhone 17 Pro for free when you switch to T-Mobile and bring your number on those plans. The discounts are funded by 24 consecutive monthly bill credits; you’ll still pay upfront taxes and a $35 activation fee, and canceling early or upgrading before the 24 months ends will trigger the remaining balance on the phone.

T-Mobile Migrates Old Plans to Modern Tiers, Promising Modest Price Adjustments

T-Mobile is automatically moving customers on legacy phone plans to current, comparable plans (Essentials, Essentials Saver, Experience More, Experience Beyond). The change aims to retire over 1,100 legacy billing codes and comes after the Sprint merger; thousands will be affected with changes taking effect in the next billing cycle. While most will pay less than the full new-plan price, the average increase is about $4 per line per month (some go up by as much as $6), and customers unhappy with the move can switch to a different plan or carrier.

T-Mobile phases out its oldest plans, steering customers to newer rate options

T-Mobile has begun retiring legacy plans dating back to the 3G/4G era and will move affected customers onto its current rate plans. Some see no change to their bill, while others may face a modest increase. The move affects Sprint-era, T-Mobile One, and Magenta Max plans, with the company highlighting improved network experiences and a 5-year price guarantee. Reactions on Reddit and Threads have been largely negative, and some customers may explore MVNO options on the same network.

T-Mobile to retire 1,100 legacy plans, moving customers to newer options with price bumps expected

T-Mobile plans to retire more than 1,100 legacy mobile plans and automatically upgrade affected customers to the current lineup, likely bringing higher prices or reduced usage limits. The changes, aimed at simplifying the plan slate, affect long-standing plans dating back 10–15 years (including Simple Choice, T-Mobile One, One Plus, Magenta, and grandfathered Sprint plans) and will be rolled out over the coming weeks with customers notified in advance.

T-Mobile automatically migrates legacy plans to modern tiers, potentially raising bills

Thousands of longtime T-Mobile customers on old plans will be automatically moved to the current plan lineup within weeks, with notifications via text or the T-Life app; some may see about a $4 per-line price increase, though the new plans offer features like international roaming and faster 5G. The change is part of a broader effort to simplify internal systems by retiring over 1,100 legacy billing codes; customers unhappy with the auto-upgrade can only switch to another T-Mobile plan or provider.

T-Mobile Rumors Swirl: Possible New Plans or Price Shifts on the Horizon

A speculative post reports that T-Mobile has scheduled leadership meetings and mandatory sessions, suggesting a major announcement could be imminent. The piece outlines two main possibilities: (1) the launch of a new, potentially low-cost plan to counter competition, and (2) a price increase on legacy plans, which could involve higher per-line costs or new fees. Other ideas, like a big acquisition or scrapping autopay discounts, are deemed unlikely. The author emphasizes the speculation and notes Monday as a probable announcement day, inviting reader input.

SpaceX, EchoStar among AWS-3 winners, as big U.S. carriers lock in licenses

AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile won multiple AWS-3 licenses in a roughly $3.5B auction, with Verizon taking 82 markets for $3.16B, T-Mobile 102 markets for $277.78M, and AT&T 10 markets for $120.77M. EchoStar (Conundrum Wireless) captured one market for $1.22M, and SpaceX won two markets for $8.49M (upstream-only), which analysts say could feed SpaceX's broader mobile ambitions and Starlink; Blue Ridge Wireless and Citizens Band also won licenses. Down payments are due July 13 and final payments July 27; the FCC aims to finish upper C-band auctions by 2027.

T-Mobile Kicks Off Major Retail Shakeup with Third-Party Closures on July 1

T-Mobile plans to shrink its physical store footprint by shuttering many third-party retailer locations (TPRs) on July 1 as part of its shift to a digital-first strategy under the T-Life initiative. Corporate-owned stores are largely spared, and some TPRs are being absorbed by others (e.g., Arch Telecom) to consolidate locations. The move aims to push customers toward T-Mobile’s COR stores and the T-Life app, which now has millions of users, while driving more traffic online and at remaining stores.

SpaceX weighs Starlink mobile service to challenge US carriers, FT reports

SpaceX is reportedly planning a Starlink mobile service for U.S. consumers, a move that could pit it against Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile; Reuters has not independently verified the FT story. SpaceX already provides direct-to-cell connectivity with T-Mobile and has acquired EchoStar spectrum to support a Starlink mobile network, with Starlink now serving over 10 million subscribers and analysts privately signaling potential disruption to the U.S. telecom market.

SpaceX Starlink: Analysts Push for Carrier Buyout to Launch Mobile

With major carriers reportedly rejecting Starlink’s MVNO deals, Wolfe Research suggests SpaceX buy a traditional network operator—most likely T-Mobile—to accelerate Starlink Mobile and gain quicker access to customers (potentially expanding into Germany via Deutsche Telekom). Other analysts see SpaceX building an MNO from scratch; the Besen Group even predicts up to 20 million US subscribers in five years if SpaceX acquires a network. No deal has been announced yet.

T-Mobile Tops 5G Speeds, Rivals Prepare to Close the Gap

An Ookla/RootMetrics analysis finds T-Mobile delivering the fastest median 5G download speeds (about 485 Mbps) thanks to its larger mid-band spectrum and aggressive use of Carrier Aggregation, outpacing Verizon (~295 Mbps) and AT&T (~273 Mbps). T-Mobile also leads in 5G Standalone usage (about 93% in H2 2025), while Verizon is at 58% and AT&T is still ramping. As AT&T and Verizon modernize networks and swap in newer equipment, the Big Three are expected to close the gap and could match T-Mobile’s speeds by the first half of 2026.
