Re: User Access Information
Appears you have received some good responses. When not sure how to Restrict service of your sisters phone line and what she can access, please call T-Mobile Customer Service. It is your account and you pay the whole monthly Bill correct, the you can Restrict/limit your sister access and if not happy with the outcome, Remove her Phone Line and let her set up her own T-Mobile or with another cellular company as to pay her own phone bill. She needs to be held responsible/accountable for her actions and become independence. I understand you have been generous and supportive toward your sister and you care. Before you do anything, be sure your sister understands the consequences if she does not change her behavior. Last, Ask yourself why do you need to hide your Billing Address from your sister? Do not tell us why for your own Privacy. Does your sister know where you live? She cannot change T-Mobile Plan or services without having Username, Password, Account #, Pin #, and your phone for Verification as Customer Service should send a Code to your Phone as the Primary Account Holder. You will also get an email notification if someone is attempting to get Unauthorized Access to your account. So relax, don't get frustrated when attempting to resolve the issue over the phone with T-Mobile Customer Service representative. Also, keep it Kool with your sister. Get upset, stop, walk away or hang up the phone. Then try again later. You are a good person, you can resolve it.44Views0likes0CommentsRe: Started service this evening and now nada.
Who activated the Phone at the T-Mobile Store? Did you try the phone prior to leaving the store? Was it a T-Mobile Store or another business that is 3rd party. Did you check your email for T-Mobile message? Log into your T-Mobile account and review your new devices and plan. If unable to Call them as you may not have a working phone. Seek a neighbor or friend and borrow their phone to call T-Mobile. Do you reside in a very small town? Many rural / country areas get Zero bars aka no signal. The only way to use the phone that gets no reception is connecting to your own Internet or someone else Internet, then make your call.44Views0likes0CommentsRe: Mcaffee T-Mobile app not compatible with IOS18.4.1
McAffee Security Virus-Malware software is not very good to start with. I never needed to use it in the 10 years using a cellular phone. The problem people have is Apple Store, TikTok, Phone Games, and Google Store. Just stop adding all the nonsense garbage/programs and Icons. Use common sense. Do not Open email or messages unless you know the source, do not answer calls and never give out your Full Name, Birthday, Social Security Number, Account and Password, or where you live or shop at. Only reply or Answer the phone for which you are familiar with. If it seems fishy, don't click on the Links. Block the message or phone number as Spam. My Samsung S21 5G will often show suspected phishing or unknown IDs as "Scam Likely". McAffee after 6 months or whatever Trial offer expires ..don't pay and reactivate it. Norton's is the same way... done and finish.48Views0likes0CommentsRe: Really Upset with T-Mobile
T-Mobile stores sometimes have an employee who is honest. Most employees are there to get a Commission or something else. They will offer you everything under the Sink that you do not need or wanted. The Prices are High also. Generally best method is to work out a solution Online at T-Mobile website trying to figure out all the goods or what you want to buy. Also you can call T-Mobile Customer Service for assistance. Always look for the Promotions but Beware of the Fine Print as most require a Phone Trade-In and 24 Monthly Payments. Free is not Free. You have to make the required number of Payments. If you cancel on the 23rd month, T-Mobile will charge you the Full Price dating back to the day you purchased it. The BOGO Free or Half-Off only applies when you completed 24 months "2 years" of payment on the plan. Other Promotional Items like a Tablet or Watch have the same amendment or requirement that you make 24 months of payment on your Plan. Otherwise you have to pay MSRP "retail" price of the item. Do not fall for the Warranty, unless you are clumsy and careless with fragile items. The Warranty over 2 years is more than T-Mobile will give you on Trade-In value. For example, purchase a Samsung S24 Plus for $900 in 2024 and want to trade in for new Samsung S25 Plus in 2025, T-Mobile may offer you $300 meaning you just lost $600 in 1 years time. In 2026, T-Mobile might give you $200. Depreciation is Very Quick on cellular phones. Hold onto your phone for at least 4 years before getting a new one. Unless you are made of mega bucks. Good luck, do your research before you buy. Don't let anyone talk you into buying something you did not want. It is your money, spend wisely and be Smart, just as you should when buying a new car.51Views1like0CommentsRe: Samsung S21 5G incoming calls on the car system
Thank you Gramps28. I figured that maybe was the issue. Just strange that the Toyota RAV4 system was able to obtain the incoming Ring - alert and was able pick up. My wife was able to hear her sister but unable to reply since the Samsung S21 phone was not in close proximity as she left the phone at home. Too many gadgets/ electronic gizmos these days. I don’t use GPS, I use Google Map or MapQuest where I want to go. Now if they could only place a 24 inch screen on the dashboard I would be able to use the vehicles GPS Navigation. Everyone forgotten how to use a Road Atlas / Map and a compass. I’ve been to places all around this world and managed to get there and back without GPS. I’m a retired Navy veteran who spent nearly 26 years in service. I don’t travel or go on vacations much anymore as 26 years here and there was enough for me. My next exploration is the bottom of the sea when I get buried at sea.27Views0likes0CommentsSamsung S21 5G incoming calls on the car system
My wife Samsung S21 5G is paired with her car system. She had forgotten her phone and had an incoming call while driving, she was able to receive the call in the car but not able to communicate with the other party as they were not able to hear my wife speak. Does my wife need to have her S21 phone in the car (2018 Toyota RAV4 Limited AWD) so she can talk with the other person? We have never used cellular-smart phone before with an automobile system so this is very new to us.Solved241Views0likes2Comments
