Boycott T-Mobile: How to switch
After months of organizing, it is finally time for the T-Mobile Boycott. Boycotts work - just ask Target, Disney, and Sinclair! If you are a T-Mobile customer, it's time to flex your consumer power again!
The major mobile network owners are or have been horrible, but right now, T-Mobile is the worst - "T-Mobile is the only one that is hosting Trump Mobile on its network, and it's the only one that is partnering with Elon Musk's Starlink." As Trump sends the military into our cities and disappears people off the streets, T-Mobile's support of Trump is unacceptable.

From https://tmobileboycott.org/:
SIGN THE PLEDGE TO BOYCOTT T-MOBILE.
Whether you're a T-Mobile customer or not, the first step to getting involved is to sign the pledge to Boycott T-Mobile. The goal is thousands of people canceling their contract together between November 14 - 16. Sign the boycott pledge.
Switch from T-Mobile
Between November 14 - 16, cancel your T-Mobile services!
Mobile Carrier
Choose a new carrier. The big three own the cell towers. Mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) rent the big three's towers.
Choose a major carrier or MVNO that does not primarily use T-Mobile's network. List of MVNOs in the United States.
All major carriers and some MVNOs will pay off your phone or plan balance if you switch to them.
Check your phone's compatibility with the new carrier. E.g. CREDO Mobile's BYOD.
Unlock your phone. You can bring your phone to a new carrier if it's unlocked and if it supports their network. If your phone is locked, you can unlock it after 60 days.
Obtain a number transfer PIN from T-Mobile, so that you can keep your phone number. You will give this PIN to the new carrier. It expires after a few days. See T-Mobile's Transfer your T-Mobile number to another carrier
Cancel your service. Call T-Mobile (611 from your T-Mobile phone or 1-800-937-8997) or visit a T-Mobile store. Make sure you tell them why you are cancelling your service.

Home Internet
Avoid T-Mobile and Starlink (owned by Elon Musk).
For some reason, many lists do not mention local wireless ISP Monkey Brains. It's #1 at Expertise.com and has great value. They install an antenna on the roof of your building, if it doesn't already have one.
Background
Here’s why we’re boycotting T-Mobile.
In Bed With Trump
Trump launched “Trump Mobile” on the T-Mobile network.
In July, Trump launched his own phone company: Trump Mobile. Despite glaring conflicts of interest, Trump Mobile is being hosted on the T-Mobile network, raising corruption concerns.
Lining Elon Musk's pockets
T-Mobile is partnering with Elon Musk's Starlink, funneling billions of dollarts into the pockets of the world's most famous and destructive far-right billionaire.
Undermining America
T-Mobile lobbied in favor of Trump's disastrous budget bill. The bill is expected to strip millions of Americans of healthcare and basic social services, while cutting the taxes of the 1%.
Abandoning DEI
T-Mobile ended its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion programs. Why? To appease the Trump regime as it sought approval for two major acquisitions.
Union Busting
T-Mobile has spent years engaging in vicious and illegal union busting tactics to prevent workers from unionizing.
