The updated terms expand T-Mobile's authority to suspend or terminate service by explicitly including theft and unlawful conduct as grounds for suspension or service denial, beyond the previously stated prohibited uses. The agreement also clarifies that price commitments embedded in Rate Plans do not automatically extend to new technologies, features, or services unless expressly stated, meaning customers cannot assume their locked price applies if T-Mobile introduces new offerings. Additionally, the terms now state that reconnection or restoration of service after suspension may incur a fee. These changes modify the conditions under which service can be interrupted and the predictability of pricing as services evolve.
