How trustworthy are Verizon’s and T-Mobile’s so-called mobile price lock guarantees?

I certainly wouldn't put too much weight into them, personally.

Historically, T-Mobile stood out as the most consistent and affordable of the major carriers. Unfortunately, in recent years, all three major carriers, including T-Mobile, have significantly raised prices due to the pandemic and ongoing economic uncertainty. To address these increases, Verizon recently introduced a new three-year price guarantee. Not long after, T-Mobile responded with a similar promise — this time offering five years of locked-in pricing.

How trustworthy are these promises in reality? I dug into the terms and conditions of both companies’ recent trends to help answer this.
