If you're thinking about making the switch to T-Mobile, better do it
sooner rather than later if you want to avoid an extra fee.

The wireless carrier, which has long prided itself on zigging where
other providers zag, is picking up one of the practices of its rivals
and charging a fee for any activations or upgrades, even those you
handle yourself online. Previously, that kind of fee only applied to
in-store interactions.

It seems that it's only for new activations now, not any change to the
existing plan, at least.

The moon may be smaller than Earth, but it's further away.
