T-Mobile non return fee on gareway scam
I have sent my gateway back using the return label provided by T-Mobile. The tracking(1Z0545229096661887) shows delivered on November 2nd 2022. T-Mobile now charged me $399 + tax for non return. They are scamming people by charging the money for the device they received and now the agent and the supervisor is convincing me that they will take care of $200 and the remaining is my responsibility. i am not accepting that offer as T-Mobile is scamming people and getting free money. What can i do to get this charges taken care. Can i file a lawsuit on this as i have all the proof of delivery. T-Mobile says that they cannot locate the device.
Home Internet Gaming
I have had Home Internet for about a year and I have been able to use it for both work and gaming. However, within the last few weeks, I received a “internet required to connect to servers” error when playing on GTA V, Red Dead Redemption, ARK or any other game with online features. I have changed gateways and even replaced one without any luck. I have already reached out to Sony and one of the game’s helpdesks and they both state that it is an internet provider issue. T-Mobile doesn't have any support for gamers according to one of their reps so I am frustratingly out of options. Any additional help is greatly appreciated. I am looking for other internet providers in the meantime.
MagicJack : Anybody able to open UDP ports 5060/5070 & Disable SIP ALG
Hello, Our Magic Jack will no longer work with T-Mobile Home Internet. It was working for 25 days and only after we ported our landline # to Magic for $23.30 is the service no longer working fully. As of Yesterday Jan 17, Incoming calls can be heard on the Magic Jack users end, but the outbound caller can not hear the Inbound Magic Jack at all. Out going calls from MagicJack are working with full duplex audio with both parties able to hear one another. I spoke with Magic Jack Technical support yesterday on two calls (1st call was disconnected). I spent over an hour troubleshooting & trying to diagnose the problem. The Rep had me do a firmware update to the device. He concluded that the issue is with the Internet Service Provider (T-Mobile Home Internet Fixed Wireless Broadband) and that we need to disable SIP/ALG & Open UPD ports 5060-5070. T-mobile Provides an Arkadyan gateway (Integrated Router /Modem). There is Zero options on the device to make the necessary changes ourselves. Evidently, the issue with incoming calls is packet data is being blocked by the T-Mobile Home Internet gateway. Other users experiencing the same or similar issue with either Arkadyan or Nokia devices https://community.t-mobile.com/other-devices-11/magic-jack-voip-over-t-mobile-home-internet-works-mostly-but-parties-at-the-other-end-receive-chopped-up-words-from-my-end-especially-on-long-distance-calls-47592 https://community.t-mobile.com/tv-home-internet-7/voip-with-t-home-internet-34971#comments Below are Magic Jack trouble shooting steps, which would be easy to implement on my end, if T-Mobile's Gateway were like "normal" routers that allow users to make changes to the router via an administrator user interface. https://help.magicjack.com/faq/support/technical-support/troubleshooting-calls/#post_id=2373 1) How can I fix likely connnection problems for my magicJack that is connected to a router? Disable SIP ALG on your router. This is enabled by default in most routers. However, it is known to cause conflicts with external VoIP devices. What issues can SIP ALG on the router cause? There are various ways SIP ALG can impact VoIP service. These often happen without the user knowing and can include: One-way or no-way audio, intermittently or consistently Inbound or Outbound calls fail to connect Audio cuts out completely while on a call and doesn’t return Phones ring and can’t be answered Phones do not ring when called Calls go straight to voicemail for no known reason Faxes do not complete Disabling SIP ALG on the router may help resolve the issues above. These are the general steps to change this setting in most router models: Login to the router’s user portal Navigate to the Advanced Firewall settings Ensure that SIP ALG (Application Layer Gateway) is disabled Refer to the router user manual for specific steps on how to disable SIP ALG or contact your Internet Service Provider for assistance. Note – SIP ALG does not cause problems such as static, echo or poor audio quality, these are generally due to network (Internet) connectivity issues. 2) Why do I hear static on my calls? Contact Your Internet Service Provider - request assistance with opening ports 5060 and 5070 on your router/modem. The T-Mobile Arkadyan Router is locked down. There are zero options to open up ports (port forwarding) or to disable SIP/ALG. After spending over an hour with Magic Jack support, we spent another 1.5 hours (after an hour on hold) yesterday with T-Mobile Supervisor going over these settings, she was documenting and forwarding issue to some team via email. Others have posted that they too contacted T-Mobile and were told they could open up the ports 5060-5070 & Disable SIP/ALG but they never received any confirmation that changes were made & their Magic Jack or other VOIP devices still failed to work ! There is nowhere on T-Mobiles website that they state that VOIP services including Magic Jack are not compatible with T-Mobile Home Internet. They simply state on their FAQ page https://www.t-mobile.com/home-internet/faq "Are Voice Over IP (VOIP) services compatible with Home Internet? Third Party VOIP services and devices that support IPv6 are compatible with T-Mobile Home Internet" They even highly promote Ooma (Competitor to Magic Jack) with a promotion to get a Free $90 Ooma Telo device when you agree to 18 months of Premium service ($10/mo) for total cost of $180! After reading reviews & comparing features & cost we decided Magic Jack was the much better value and as I have stated we have had zero issues for 25 days until yesterday. So does MagicJack Service & Device support IPv6? If so then the owness is on T-Mobile to find a solution for Magic Jack to work? Also do you have any other ideas, resolution if we can not get the Magic Jack device to work with T-Mobile Home Internet? We purchased the device from Amazon for $40 plus tax as well we paid MagicJack $23.30 ($19.95 + tax /fees) to port our number from which was completed. We greatly appreciate your help & hopefully we can find a resolution Thank you
Slow Ethernet, fast WiFi
I'm having an issue with my Nokia gateway, connected to the Gateway WIFI I get over 400mbs. But connected to my router which is connected to the back of the gateway I only get top 160mbs. Is this a big in the firmware? I would get super fast speeds before on my router and all of a sudden they stop. I have used different WIFI 6 routers and still the same issue. Different cable, same issue. I even tried a different gateway, same issue. Is TMobile doing this on purpose to force customers to use their integrated WIFI. Anything will help.
