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.

If you are on a paid subscription and we discontinue the Service you are using during your subscription...if we're unable to do so, we will provide you a pro-rata refund of fees prepaid for the remaining period of your subscription.
Once you redeem your Points, you cannot cancel or return the Redemption Option for a refund of Points except in the case of defective products or as required by applicable law.
