• FirstNet is the first mobile service to raise pricing for 2025 it seems, as its pricing is going up by $3 starting January 15.
• It appears that this increase wasn’t openly announced, though users spotted a notice for the increase within their bills.
• Even with the increase, FirstNet is hard to beat.*The AT&T-backed FirstNet service is designed to give first responders a high-quality, high-priority service for emergency use and beyond.

Mobile customers have become fairly used to mobile plans creeping upward in pricing bit by bit. Not only has the advertised price for postpaid service increased significantly over the last few years, but carriers have even started to nickel and dime customers with infrastructure fees that it raises without any warning beyond a small notice in your bill. Typically bigger plan changes are more openly announced but it appears that’s not always the case, at least not for the AT&T-backed FirstNet.

Redditor CustomerNo6626 noted the bottom of their bill indicated their FirstLine plan would see “a $3/month price increase starting January 15, 2025”. Other customers have since confirmed they are also seeing the increase.
