More often than not, the price for an advertised product or service isn't necessarily the only price you'll have to pay. For example, sometimes joining a gym will require you to pay a first and last month deposit, administration fees, registration fees, and so on. With carriers, there are also activation fees, a feature that T-Mobile has waived in some instances, like when you register online.



Unfortunately, for customers looking to save on that fee, that may no longer be possible. According to internal documents obtained by The T-Mo Report, it appears that T-Mobile is getting ready to introduce a $35 activation fee for pretty much every transaction that you make with them.

That is *not* very "un-carrier" like. I wonder if this only pertains to post-paid service, or pre-paid service, also?
