They were going to, but you could opt out of that move ... if you knew it was going to happen.
On top of that, some people were going to be moved off of "Plan A" onto "Plan B," while other people were going to be moved off of "Plan B" onto "Plan C." The whole thing about ending obsolete plans was hogwash. It was clearly "We want more money."
They would have made it pretty easy to catch too. I get a text from them every month when they charge my auto pay, including the amount.
You can put pretty much anything you want into a contract.
That doesn't make it legal. This is bedrock established law. There are a million things one can write into a contract that are illegal terms and not legally binding. You can sign a contract saying you have to cut off your arm but that's not a legally binding contract.
Oh, I didn't say it was legal. That's just how they justify this stuff.
They were telling them, and giving them the opportunity to opt out (after dealing with a sales pitch).
Still crappy, but exaggerating doesn't help anything.
Did you get migrated? They started with a limited test that included outreach before migration and cancelled the plan to expand it after everyone was furious.
