So they had a price lock guarantee that would stop your phone lines from increasing in price. And as far as I am aware, they stuck to that. Some people thought they had that when they actually had signed up before that point. If they had ended up signing up before that point, then they were on Uncontract, which says that they will pay your last month's bill if you decide to leave.

No, the contract and ToS for the uncontract says it’s the same price guarantee as the price-lock. It says so in the article.

Yeah, I guess I should have read the specific article before really commenting on it. However, I generally follow the carriers and several YouTube channels about them, so sometimes information can get a little bit scrambled.
