Managing Nokia 5G21 Gateway
Hello, I've been using a Nokia5G21 Gateway for about 8 months with very few issues. When I first got it, I was told that I should just leave it on all of the time. I have needed to reboot a few times over the course of 8 months, but I have basically left it on all of the time. My question - is it a good practice to never turn it off unless it needs a reboot? I don't have anything connected to it that would need a 24/7 connection, and it could easily be turned off at night. But is that good for it - constant turning on and off each day? I guess I am conflicted as to which would be the better way to manage the gateway and which would be better for long-term use and the life of the device. I never turn my phone or laptop off for the night, so is treating the gateway the same way best for it? Thanks for any ideas!
Less trade in value for Military plans
I find it quite disappointing that T-Mobile changed the trade-in values for the Military and 1st responder plans to less than their equivalent plan. I signed up for the Go5G Plus Military plan, looking to get the discount on the iPhone 16. By the time the change took affect, and I got to the store to trade in for the phone, I saw that they dropped the promotional value from $830 to $630 for the military plans. The Go5G Plus plan is still $830, so I was basically lied to that this is the same plan, but discounted for veterans. Now, the trade in value is the same as my old plan, but they conned me into paying an extra $50/mo with no added benefit. I had already traded in another phone on this plan and was waiting for the iPhone to be available, so I am tied into it for the time being. I understand that T-Mobile can change the promo terms at any point, but this isn't changing the terms of the promo, this is false advertising on the part of the plan, since it is not the same plan at a discount. It is just a discount plan with less benefits. I'll be keeping my eyes out for competitors paying for me to switch now if this is how T-Mobile treats their customers, and make false claims about Veteran appreciation.Text messages not received
I am not receiving text messages from 855-244-1752. This is a subscription service that I am enrolled in. I have confirmed with the provider that the problem is not on their end. They suggested I reach out to T-Mobile. I can confirm that I have not blocked text messages from this number. I need someone to look into this because I rely on this subscription service.
Changes 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.
Phone signal is very weak in my house
The T-Mobile phone signal in my home is consistently weak, with the signal indicator frequently displaying 0 or 1 bar. As a result, I often experience difficulties in receiving or making calls at home. Even when connectivity is established, the audio quality tends to be unstable. I am currently exploring solutions to enhance the signal strength within my home. To my knowledge, T-Mobile previously offered free signal boosters for areas with weak coverage; however, this option appears to no longer be available. After conducting research online, I have identified several potential solutions for improving phone signal strength, including CellSpot, Femtocells, and standalone signal boosters. I would like to understand the advantages and disadvantages of each option. Could you recommend the most suitable choice based on your expertise?Mother’s Day Made Easy with T-Mobile Tech 🌸📱💝
