TL;DR

• T-Mobile is increasing its monthly bill by $0.50 per line for certain users.
• The increase is part of T-Mobile’s Regulatory Programs & Telco Recovery Fee, which is now $4.99 a month.
• This is the second hike of $0.50 since last year, but you’ll be spared if your monthly plan already includes federal taxes and telco fees.

If you’re a T-Mobile customer in the US, your bill just went up overnight. That’s because the carrier is adding an auxiliary charge, separate from your monthly payment plan.

As of Wednesday, January 21, T-Mobile is increasing its “Regulatory Programs & Telco Recovery Fee” to $4.99 per voice line and $2.10 per mobile data line. That’s a $0.50 increase compared to before this date, when the fee per voice line was $3.99. If you have multiple lines in your plan, the total should reflect on your bill starting this month. T-Mobile updated its bill breakdown support page (via Droid-Life) to reflect the new prices.
