Why am I not able to view all the linked number's usage info if I'm the primary account holder?

I am the primary account holder and I have 3 numbers linked to my mobile ID but it won't let me manage or view one of the linked number's account.

  • Still unable to view one of the lines. When I click on the "switch account" It gives an error message stating that my online access has been temporally disabled and to have the account holder contact them. So I did, and the rep said she would open up a ticket and I should have it resolved in two days. It wasn't so I just unlinked the number and plan to change carriers. This isn't the only problem I'm having but it's enough! I'm paying the bill so I should be able to see what I'm paying for.

    Hey there!  Great question - once your line has PAH permissions established for My T-Mobile and the app, you should be able to see usage for all of the lines on your family plan.  There is a period every month while your bill is cycling (typically starting on the day your cycle closes for about four days) where usage is unavailable until the bill production is complete.  Was this a momentary glitch, or are you still having trouble viewing usage for the other lines on your account?

    You're absolutely correct, we definitely want the PAH to be able to see details for all lines, which is why we have the system in the first place!  If it's not working, we want to get it fixed for you, so I'm glad you reached out.  I'm so sorry that the ticket we filed wasn't resolved in a timely fashion - is it possible for you to reach back out and have it escalated?  Since the Support Community is a user forum, Community Managers don't have the security verification methods necessary to access your account - but we would definitely prefer to get this resolved for you rather than lose your business!

    Hi Marissa - I am also the primary account holder on a T-Mobile account and am not able to view the usage of a linked/shared number on my account.

    Let me know if you need any information from me to look into this.

    Thank you!

    Hey, Misti!

    It sounds like you may not have to proper permissions set-up on your My T-Mobile account. You'll want to follow these steps to set-up the permissions:

    Set up permissions

    From your mobile device with the T-Mobile app:

    1. Open the app. If you don't have it, download it now.
    2. Select MENU > PROFILE SETTINGS.
    3. Select Line Settings.
    4. Select the line of service you want to edit.
    5. Next to Permissions, select EDIT.
    6. Select the level of permissions.
    7. Select Save.

    From your computer:

    1. Log in to My T-Mobile.
    2. Select PROFILE.
    3. Select Line Settings.
    4. Select the line of service you want to edit.
    5. Next to PERMISSIONS, select Edit.
    6. Select the level of permissions.
    7. Select Save.

    If you're unable to modify the settings, you'll want to Community-2153 so we can get this straightened out.

    In my case, I have noticed of my lines takes much longer than the other six to update its usage. I have been checking all of the lines periodically and as of this post it is the only one behind. Six hours to be exact.

    Ask your husband if he changed you account permissions.
