Key Findings
Universal Arbitration
All major carriers require mandatory arbitration and waive class action rights. You're giving up your right to sue in court.
Price Increase Clauses
Most carriers reserve the right to raise prices at any time, even during promotional periods. Only T-Mobile offers a price lock guarantee.
Data Deprioritization
"Unlimited" plans often include data deprioritization after a threshold, dramatically slowing your speeds during congestion.
Device Locking
Devices purchased through carriers are often locked for 60+ days, preventing you from switching even after paying in full.
