Unable to Set Primary Account Holder
I switched to T-Mobile last year in November. I bought my phone outright and ported my number over. I have discounts available through my employer but had to wait 120 days before I could convert my account. Also had to wait to set up DIGITS so I could use cellular on my Apple Watch. No big deal. Maybe a month or a month and a half ago, I was finally able to set up the cellular feature for my watch and then I converted consumer account to an ANR (Dealer Account). When it converted I got a notification saying there is no assigned primary account holder. Mind you, I’m the only user in the account. I contacted support. They couldn’t seem to understand my issue and it wasn’t resolved. A few minutes after I ended that call. Another rep called and tried to assist me. They were able to verify I am the primary account holder. The notification went away after signed out, deleted the T-Mobile app, re-downloaded it and signed it. Fantastic. That was a week or two ago. Today, I was trying to price adding a cellular iPad to my plan. For starters, any time I want to buy a device it prompts me to call customer service. What is this, QVC in 2002? No. I’d like to buy a device online and pay whatever I have to pay and have it shipped to my home or pick it up in store. Besides, calling and ordering something comes with a $30 Service fee. When I tried to activate cellular service on my watch the first time they told me it would cost $50. I waited and got three months free. Anyway. I discovered a different web portal, manage.my.t-mobile.com. You can make changes to your account and ship through there as well. Well, when I try to shop, the first thing I see is ”only primary account holders can add a line”. Mind you, again, I’m the only person on this plan. On the normal site if you go to *Profile->Line Settings-> Permissions* you can select your primary account holder. But for me, that’s not option. I can only assume it’s because IM THE ONLY PERSON ON MY PLAN. i kept asking the support rep I spoke with if the issue has anything to do with the fact that I have a special dealer account. She neither confirmed or denied that. She passed me on to a technical support rep who submitted a ticket to engineering who I know I’ll never hear from. And I get it. These people helping you over the phone aren’t really trained to solve the issue. They just read a script. I work at Apple. I deal with the poor expectations they set with customers every day. What I think it boils down to, is T-Mobile needs to address their app and website. They are both terrible. Especially the app. You can’t do anything besides pay your bill honestly. If you want to add a line it prompts you to call customer support. If I do it on a computer, I’m not a primary account holder. Every time I log in, it resets the type of phone I have. I have a 128GB iPhone XR. Sometimes it says black. Sometimes it says blue. Sometimes it says white. So anyway, I’m gonna log in to Dealer account portal when I get to work tomorrow to see if there’s something I need to do there in order to add lines to my account and verify I’m the primary account holder. On the phone they said everything looks fine on their end. So I don’t know what’s real anymore. So sorry for the long schpeel. But I’m trying to be as descriptive as possible. Has anyone else ever had this issue?SolvedChanges with T-life
Since the change to T-Life as an app, Scam Shield no longer has a number badge in either the Sam Shield App, nor the T-Life app. Are others finding this? I find no new setting and even a hard restart of my iPhone does not help. All notiffications on for both apps and the Scam Shield app worked until this update. And, personally, I find the Scam Shield section of the T-Life app too hard to find. I think important enough it should have been its own tab. Have reported these in to T-Mobile.415Views4likes1CommentAnyone else ready to switch??
I was a SPRINT customer for over 25 years - got absorbed into TMobile when Sprint got bought out. I'm ready to be done. They keep adding new fees - per line, each month! For what? For the crappy customer service I get? I call to ask about these new fees and I'm transferred multiple times, disconnected, and on hold for more than 2 hours. I email - I get no response. There isn't a live chat function, so I really just don't know what to do anymore. I would like to get some account information about transferring my service, but can't seem to get anywhere with customer service. How is everyone else taking this and if you're reaching out and getting a hold of customer service, how are you doing it?283Views0likes3CommentsHelp with my bill

Started a new plan with T Mobile last year. There was a promotion for free phones with new lines of service. We started new service, ordered 3 phones. We didn't like one of them, so we called in within the first week or so, asked if we could try something else. We got a different phone, also supposed to be free with the promotion - or so that's what we were told. Next month, I check the bill, there's no promotion for it. I call customer support, they say the promotion just hasn't been applied yet. Just pay the bill for now, and you'll get credited later. 5 or 6 months go by, I check the bill again. Still paying for the phone. So I call in and ask about it, they say they'll escalate the issue. Don't hear for a while, so I call in again. They say looking back there was no promotion for the phone we got, and there's nothing they can do at this point. Very frustrating situation. Anyone had this happen before, and what did you do about it? I can always switch to another carrier but that's a pretty big hassle and I don't want to have to go that route.35Views0likes0CommentsTransferring phone, use old Sim or eSim?
I have a Samsung Galaxy S21 with a Sim card and just received a new Google Pixel 9a. Both were acquired from T-Mobile. Is it best for me to take the Sim card from the old device and put it in the new or setup the new with eSim? I called T-Mobile support and could not get a straight answer from the tech. Each time I asked for clarification I received a conflicting answer.Solved114Views0likes2CommentsHow can I contact T-Mobile Corporate Office?
How can I contact T-Mobile Corporate Office? I reached out to T-Mobile on December 18 with an inquiry and keep getting told that someone would call me which has not happened. This is an unprofessional way to treat a loyal customer. It seems the representatives on T-Mobile chat just lied their way through our multiple conversations. I’m fed up!8.7KViews3likes18CommentsCPNI violation
No one has helped me with this I had to file an FCC complaint due to T-Mobiles lack of response. Customer care representatives do not follow up on scheduled call backs. I’ve been promised countless call backs from representatives and they never follow through. I don’t know how else to escalate this issue. I’ve submitted an FCC complaint due to my account being accessed by store employees without my consent. I’ve called customer care to complain and they haven’t done anything about it. Lines are being activated without my consent and nothing is being done. I’m going to end up suing T-Mobile due to violating my contract and multiple CPNI laws. I’ve called more than 20 times and I’m always promised a call back or placed on hold and I have to explain my story all over. I don’t trust T-Mobile.56Views0likes0Comments
