    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.
