I've changed plans on T-Mobile multiple times and never been charged a fee for doing so. It's also trivial to change plans or add/remove services via their website.
Not planning on changing again since I'm now on their unlimited loyalty plan for $40/month (unless they offer something that includes Internet for less than the $79.99 mentioned here).

"Everywhere else in the world, consumers buy their phones and phone service independently. " unfortunately not in France. The standard plan of all major carriers is with a "cheap" phone.

Something wrong t-mobile is doing to people bearing with them for years: They charge the $35 activation fee when you switch from an old and expensive plan to any new one. That's unfair for those who've been supporting them for years. $35 just to change from plan to plan, just to put some representative's finger in a keyboard. That's ridiculous and unfair, T-Mobile... You should "thank" supporters and not punish them.

Interesting move. I can see many cases where you buy the phone from somewhere else (Bestbuy/Amazon?) and get one of these deals with it. And the services that is promoted in that deal is the one I really care about (Gmail, Facebook, Skype, Spotify, Twitter etc.).
