Ended up going with Visible instead of T-Mo; similar feature set for a bit less monthly. Seems to work well so far even if I don't have a physical sim for the service.

There's even a snopes article for the settlement too, since sending legit texts is met with hesitation. Looks like the only way it really pays out is if your identity was compromised and you paid out of pocket to repair it. But $100 for just living in California seems fine to me.

Is TMo known to engage in any sort of throttling/shaping for older plans? Wife and I are on one of the older One Plus plans and I swear my data service has been going from "meh" to "poo poo". Between that and a giant dead zone in the middle of town I'm getting very tempted to jump ship.

Supposedly they are doing "tower upgrades" but these upgrades seem to make service terrible for weeks/months on end. Maneki Neko fucked around with this message at 00:25 on Oct 26, 2022 |

Visible is what I had just before. I dumped it because when I visited cities I had basically no data because of being de-prioritized to hell.

When I was reading through it, it seemed like the average person could claim a limited amount of hours and say that it was personal time spent to "change password" because of the data breach. So may be worth pursuing for that.

Does there exist a 5G USB stick for T-mobile? I’ve scanned their website and unable to find anything above LTE. Curious to see if it’s available or just not a thing.

The sticks are mostly dead. You can plug up tr mobile hotspots directly to a computer and it functions the same way. So why make two devices, when the hotspot can replicate what the stick did ?

I hope the G8X works since thats my favorite phone and being international, it has all available bands as far as I can tell. [edit] I got into the service menu on the G8X and found Band 71 and tried it, and yeah the phone lost its verizon lte connection. This seems hopefuly. redeyes fucked around with this message at 19:27 on Dec 10, 2022 |

These have become a lot less common, but if you did want to add another free line, that is potentially an option at the moment: https://tmo.report/2022/12/t-mobile-will-likely-offer-a-free-line-for-the-holidays-with-catches/ Differences from this one vs last ones:

How long do these specials last btw? Specifically the home internet and the extra lines promotions? Definitely possibly interested (our home net has been getting rather high price-wise lately but I wasn’t sure how good it is) but may need to move peoples lines around to make things work.

Trip report, put the sim cards into Samsung S10e, the phone wanted to reboot followed by it formatting its data and then a tmobile logo pops up when the phone boots. Everythign works. LG G8x: LTE works, nice speeds, cannot make Volte calls. No way to turn on. Probably need to hack the phone to get that working.. not sure.

I am on this T-Mobile One promo with two lines all in for $100 even w/ taxes included, with $10 kick back if a line uses below 2GB. I am never eligible for a free line promotion. I have a kid that will eventually have a cell phone, and I'd love to not cancel my plan one of these days because I need to add a third line.

I'm on that same plan in the same situation. I think eventually switching off of it for a Magenta plan will make more sense, unfortunately.

Seiyal posted:How long do these specials last btw? Specifically the home internet and the extra lines promotions? Extra lines I haven't seen an explicit end date reported, but I'm not sure Tmobile even officially announced this one so generally good to move quickly if you can. Astro7x posted:I am on this T-Mobile One promo with two lines all in for $100 even w/ taxes included, with $10 kick back if a line uses below 2GB. I was on that plan and found a very nice TForce person who was able to switch me over to Magenta Max and kept my free lines and insider discount. I did lose my kickback discount as that's not compatible at all with Magenta plans, but it ended up being a wash with the additional free lines I've been able to add. Certainly worth a try if you want to stick with TMobile if you can have it be a lateral move. I don't trust regular support enough to try it with them though.

Good to know. I honestly rarely get the kickback discount these days.... it was VERY NICE in 2020 when I was barely leaving the house and on WiFi, now I'm regularly going over 2GB.

So I did swap from verizon to tmobile. 2 phones worked perfect. I ordered up a used S10e from Swappa.com. Put the Tmobile sim in it, I get 4G for about 1 minute and then the phone shits its pants and says it cannot activate on verison and call support. I called support, the phone is unlocked but cannot be activated because????????? No one can answer this. I guess I'll just return it but wtf is going on?! redeyes fucked around with this message at 21:01 on Dec 23, 2022 |

Does T-Mobile sometimes forget to throttle international data passes when the cap is reached? I just got the text that my 512MB pass is used up but I’m still downloading and streaming like nothing. Speedtest is showing 100 down/60 up. I’m not complaining but I hope there aren’t some secret charges piling on. Edit: Nevermind, for some reason they gave me 5GB for free twice this billing cycle.

With the free year of paramount+, should it bill my account $9.99? Will I get that reimbursed? Or am I not eligible for the free deal because I got it free last year?

The terms say you get 1 code per account. I was never charged anything for my year. And when I went to cancel they offered me more free months

So I lost a phone and ordered a new SIM card but I think because t mobile doesn’t pay the phone people unless they sell they just added a new line. Is this normal? Also instead of sending me a SIM card they sent me a package with a a slip of paper that said it was coming in a different package?

Yeah, I’m not T-Mobile , but that’s super weird, so I would call their customer care number and make sure A. You get your SIM card and B. That nothing was added to your bill. Even if it’s “no cost,” poo poo should never be added to your account without making sure you are aware of it. Especially a line add. It’s def possible they get commission, but that’s still dumb because A. One sale isn’t worth risking one’s job and B. Any sales have somewhere around a 6 month chargeback time period, so there’s no point on slamming an add, people will eventually figure it out, get angry call and cancel and you lose the money anyway.

Bought a Tmobile S10e. Got it in, after loving with it for days, I come to find the god drat thing is a Sprint phone that is still locked to their network. Same BS as Verizon, must be used on said network for 60 days to get it unlocked.. which will never happen. They would not unlock it either after calling support. I hate cell phones.

Order a phone direct from T-Mobile and get whatever promo ? Sucks that it’s a 2 year contract, but they probably have promotions. Or buy direct from Samsung ?
