T-Mobile is siding with the Trump Administration and far-right extremists like Elon Musk. It’s time for people of conscience to find a better phone carrier.
T-Mobile is partnering with fascist Elon Musk’s satellite company Starlink, funneling profits into Musk’s pockets through its T-Satellite program.
Not only is T-Mobile siding with a billionaire CEO who supports far-right authoritarian governments around the world, they’ve also:
- Ended their Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) program to appease the Trump regime so the admin would fast track approval of two major acquisitions.
- Lobbied for Trump’s disastrous budget bill that will strip 13 million Americans of healthcare to pay for tax cuts for the millionaire and billionaire class.
- Engaged in vicious union busting to stop workers from forming a union.
- Servicing Trump Mobile on the T-Mobile network, ignoring glaring conflicts of interest.
The faq at the bottom asks “aren’t all carriers bad/who should I move to?”, the answer is yes they’re all bad in different ways but the focus of this is on trump mobile, starlink and musk and tmob is the only carrier aligned with them at the moment on trump mobile.It’s the entire point to reduce or remove consumer choice, and if you’re feeling discouraged that is the point.
Switching carriers and porting a number is pretty easy compared to what it used to be but not everyone has the luxury of good coverage from all carriers, or the technological or financial know-how to end a contract and potentially have financial impact from cancelling. Most carriers offer nice signup incentives so its likely people could do it without cost to them but there is still a bit of time and effort.
If people can’t put in a bit of time and effort to fight fascism then I guess we deserve to be where we are.
Yep. Recently did it while on the bus home from AT&T to Verizon. By the time I got home, I was already on Verizon’s network with my phone number. Super easy! AT&T just didn’t work at the places I hung out at, so it was time to switch and get an actual 5G carrier.
