If you’re a T-Mobile subscriber, you are no stranger to the price hikes. Some legacy plans took a hit earlier this year. While the carrier offers a silver lining in the form of free line promotions and T-Mobile Tuesday freebies, it still finds ways to squeeze your money. That’s what’s happening now as T-Mobile’s late payment fee is seeing a price increase. This means you’ll have to shell out more if you miss a payment.
T-Mobile increases its late payment fee
As per The Mobile Report, T-Mobile has started sending emails to customers notifying them about the increase in the late payment fee. If you’re a T-Mobile subscriber, starting next month, the late fee will be $10 or 5%, whichever is greater. In comparison, previously, the late fee was $7 or 5% of the due balance, whichever was greater. The late payment fee will appear as “Late Fee for invoice” on your bill.
Previously, if the due balance was under $140 and wasn’t paid on time, you had to pay $7. If it was over $140, the late fee was 5% of the due balance, considering it would be greater than $7. However, this will be a fixed $10 or 5% of the due balance going forward (from November 2025).
You can always set up auto-pay
Subscribers with low monthly bills should be the most impacted by the late payment fee increase. For instance, T-Mobile users with a due balance of less than $200 must pay a $10 fee. This is an increase of $3. If you have a habit of forgetting payments, this price increase should pinch you further. Hopefully, this price hike motivates users to make timely payments.
T-Mobile, which started phasing out LTE, has an autopay option in place. You can set up autopay from a linked bank account or debit card. There’s also a $5 discount per line in it. It’s always advisable to use this facility if you keep forgetting on-time payments. However, it’s recommended to always stay vigilant about your bills for any irregularities and some privacy options that are on by default.
