Research shows the holidays are a particularly ripe time for phone scams. T-Mobile’s free Scam Shield app can help protect you this season. 

tmobile-blocks/subhead

In October, <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/oct/26/hiker-lost-on-us-mountain-ignored-calls-from-rescuers-because-he-didnt-recognise-the-number" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">a hiker</a> was late returning to his car in the Colorado Rockies. Fearing he was lost, search and rescue tried calling him … repeatedly. And after multiple unanswered calls, teams were deployed across the mountain to seek out and save the lost hiker.

core/paragraph

Except he wasn’t lost. And he had cell reception the whole time.

In fact, he got search and rescue’s calls. He just didn’t pick up because he didn’t recognize the unknown caller’s number.

And, as it turns out, he’s not alone in his thinking. 

A recent survey by T-Mobile partner <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://firstorion.com/company/" target="_blank">First Orion</a> — which specializes in network solutions to create call transparency — showed that  9 out of 10 folks say they don’t feel comfortable answering their phone when the caller is someone they don’t recognize. And 78% said they have missed at least one important call for this reason in the past month.

During the holidays, we expect important deliveries, organize parties and look forward to calls from friends and family filled with seasonal well wishes, but we are also screening calls in fear scams and robocalls. In fact, 68% of those surveyed reported missing a legitimate call regarding an order or delivery because they didn’t recognize the number calling.  

And it’s with good reason. Scammers love the holidays. The last six weeks of the year are the busiest time for scams and unwanted robocalls. During this holiday season, it is projected that Americans will receive over 27 billion scam calls, resulting in a potential 21 million scam victims and over $10 billion in losses. 

First Orion’s holiday scam report showed 57% of consumers say they receive more scam calls during the holiday season. Last year, there was a 53% increase in scam calls from the holiday season compared to the end of September. 

Thankfully, if you have T-Mobile or Metro by T-Mobile, there’s a better way to get through the season of scammers. T-Mobile has network level protection built-in to give you the information you really need to decide whether to answer a call. With Scam Block and Caller ID working together, you can rest easy knowing you will never miss the calls you want and can ignore the ones you don’t want (or never even see them at all!). This holiday season, give yourself the gift of peace of mind by making the most use of a feature you might not even realize you have: The free Scam Shield app, which is part of the <a href="https://www.t-mobile.com/news/un-carrier/scam-shield-protects-customers-from-scams-robocalls" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.t-mobile.com/news/un-carrier/scam-shield-protects-customers-from-scams-robocalls">comprehensive set of protections</a> offered to T-Mobile and Metro by T-Mobile customers against the pervasive problem of scams and robocalls.

With these calls already at an all-time high, clocking in at over 127 million scam calls every workday, it’s more important than ever to make use of the holiday-saving app that is available to download right now. 

T-Mobile automatically warns every customer if a call is “Scam Likely” to keep you better informed — no action is required to get this benefit. And you can turn on Scam Block from your T-Mobile phone simply by dialing #662#. And T-Mobile is the only major wireless provider to give all their customers free Caller ID, so you know who is calling, even if they aren’t in your Contacts. And at T-Mobile you also get a verified check mark displayed when the call has been authenticated by <a href="https://www.t-mobile.com/news/press/t-mobile-calls-are-100-stir-shaken-compliant">STIR/SHAKEN </a>so you know the number on the display has not been spoofed by a scammer!T-Mobile postpaid and Metro by T-Mobile customers can download the <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.t-mobile.com/news/un-carrier/scam-shield-protects-customers-from-scams-robocalls" target="_blank">Scam Shield</a> app on the <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/t-mobile-scam-shield/id1367276365" target="_blank">App Store</a> or <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tmobile.services.nameid&hl=en_US" target="_blank">Google Play</a> and have a dashboard at their fingertips for all the Scam Shield tools. Once the app is downloaded you can enable Scam Block (and stop those “Scam Likely” calls at the network, before they even ring) and have access to turn on Caller ID so you always know who is calling, even if they are not in your contacts!

tmobile-blocks/banner

This surge of scam calls doesn’t end until after December 23, according to T-Mobile research. (Looks like scammers like to take time off and celebrate the holidays too!) Internal data shows that 91% of T-Mobile customers who use scam protections report a noticeable positive effect, so just imagine the peace of mind you can experience if you download the Scam Shield app today and get the full spectrum of protections ahead of scammers’ favorite time of the year! 

Oh, as for that hiker? In the end, everything turned out okay, and after more than a day of being lost amidst alpines, he found his way back to safety — but not without a stern warning from the rescue agency itself:

“If you’re overdue according to your itinerary, and you start getting repeated calls from an unknown number, please answer the phone; it may be a search and rescue team trying to confirm you’re safe!”

Perhaps the best testimonial yet for taking two minutes to protect yourself, no matter where you are, and download the Scam Shield app. 

core/separator

Survey data from First Orion 2021 <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://firstorion.com/2021-holiday-scam-report/" target="_blank">Holiday Scam Report</a>. The First Orion Holiday Scam Report surveyed 2,000 U.S. mobile subscribers aged 18 and above across 48 states, and was nearly evenly split by gender, resulting in an even sampling of the U.S. mobile subscriber market at large.

Research shows the holidays are a particularly ripe time for phone scams. Thankfully, T-Mobile’s free Scam Shield app can protect you.

BELLEVUE, Wash. — November 23, 2021 — Now that the dark days of winter have descended upon us, if there’s one thing we could all use a little more of, it’s a dose of lite-er lights and brite-er brights. And what more obvious way to do that than to bring T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) and Hasbro (NASDAQ: HAS) together to introduce Lite-Brite T-Mobile Edition, now with 184 magenta pegs.

Named one of the 100 greatest toys of all-time by Time magazine, Lite-Brite has been lite-ing up smiles and inspiring holiday nostalgia for children of all ages for more than 50 years. Meanwhile, over the past two years, T-Mobile has been lite-ing up the 5G map of America with the nation’s largest, fastest and most reliable 5G network including recently hitting <a href="https://www.t-mobile.com/news/network/t-mobiles-game-changing-ultra-capacity-5g-now-reaches-200-million-people-nationwide" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">nationwide Ultra Capacity 5G</a> status.

Limited supplies of Lite-Brite T-Mobile Edition are available right now at <a href="http://www.t-mobile.com/5GLiteBrite" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">www.t-mobile.com/5GLiteBrite</a> for $19.99 plus free standard shipping through Cyber Monday. In addition to 184 all-new magenta pegs, each unit comes with four wireless-inspired templates and all the traditional Lite-Brite pegs that generations of children have used to create rainbow-colored fish, sailboats and unicorns. At the 5G Lite Brite website, users can download and upload design templates to add hours upon hours of fun.

“Toying with the mobile industry – killing off annual service contracts, crazy-high international roaming fees, data buckets, etc - has always been at the heart of the Un-carrier. So who better to partner with than Hasbro – the name in toys – to come up with what I expect to be the holiday gift for 2021,” said Mike Sievert, CEO of T-Mobile. “I like to think the 7-year-old me would’ve had an even bigger smile creating a Lite-Brite airplane with magenta pegs. With our partner, Boys & Girls Clubs of America, we’re going to bring that “even bigger smile” to thousands of Club kids and teens through toy drive donations in communities across the nation.”

But there’s more! Hidden in a limited number of Lite-Brite T-Mobile Edition boxes, there’s a special surprise: a Magenta Ticket, good for a “5G Experience of a Lite-time.” Up to four lucky winners each get an all-expenses paid trip for two to an event of their choosing at one of three T-Mobile branded properties: T-Mobile Park in Seattle, T-Mobile Center in Kansas City, or T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Plus each winner gets a T-Mobile 5G prize pack that comes with two new 5G smartphones with a free year of Magenta MAX and an HD flatscreen TV to pair with a free year of T-Mobile Home Internet service (and Netflix, included free with Magenta MAX). Already got a Lite-Brite and don’t want to miss out on the fun?  You still have a chance at a ticket, visit <a href="http://www.t-mobile.com/5GLiteBrite" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">www.t-mobile.com/5GLiteBrite</a> for details.

“At Hasbro we are constantly thinking of fun and creative new formats for old and new fans to connect and engage with our brands,” said Casey Collins, GM & SVP, Global Licensed Consumer Products at Hasbro. “More than five decades later, we’re excited to keep the classic Lite-Brite brand alive through our collaboration with T-Mobile – known as the hip wireless service provider. With the T-Mobile Lite-Brite Edition, fans of all ages will be able to make their holiday festivities even brighter.”

T-Mobile’s 5G covers so many people – 308 million people nationwide with Extended Range and 186 million people with Ultra Capacity – that even Halloween is getting a 5G upgrade

core/heading

A NYC brownstone and three T-Mobile stores will transform into Apartment 5G, delivering 10 times the Reese’s AND the limited-edition Reese’s Take 5G bar

BELLEVUE, Wash. & HERSHEY, Pa. — Oct 20, 2021 — They did the monster mash(up)! Today, T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) and the Reese’s brand announced they’re coming together like chocolate and peanut butter to give Halloween a 5G upgrade. On October 31, the two powerhouse brands will transform a NYC brownstone and select T-Mobile stores into Apartment 5G: the ultimate trick-or-treating destinations. Apartment 5G is the ONLY door giving out 10 times the GOOD stuff this year (Reese’s, obvi!), because sweet, sweet 5G technology can deliver speeds more than 10 times faster than LTE! And, check those pumpkin pails and pillowcases, because in that stockpile of <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/nathanieleasington/2021/10/12/americas-favorite-halloween-candy-2021-state-by-state-best-halloween-candy-worst-candy-reeses-skittles-candy-corn/?sh=7f7a7d315157">America’s #1 Halloween candy</a>, you might also find the official candy of 5G — the special edition Reese’s Take 5G bar, created exclusively by Reese’s and T-Mobile and available only at Apartment 5G locations while supplies last!

As this delicious duo takes trick-or-treating to the next level, T-Mobile continues to do the same with its 5G network, announcing today that Extended Range 5G now covers 308 million people. And a whopping 186 million of those people are now covered by T-Mobile’s super-fast Ultra Capacity 5G, putting the Un-carrier so much closer to its goal of delivering game changing 5G speeds with Ultra Capacity to 200 million people (aka nationwide) by the end of the year.

“T-Mobile continues to expand its 5G footprint at an unparalleled pace, so we partnered with the candy icons at Reese’s this Halloween to help spread the word and give everyone more of what they love — more Reese’s, at ultra-fast 5G speed!” said Mike Sievert, CEO at T-Mobile. “Our multi-layered approach for fast and far-reaching coverage made us America’s 5G leader, so it made perfect sense to partner with THE famously layered candy brand to create the official candy of 5G, the Reese's Take 5G bar … AND the best trick-or-treating experience. Zero tricks, way more Reese’s … now that’s Halloween on 5G!”

Apartment 5G will pop up at 478 13th St. Brooklyn, NY and in three T-Mobile stores around the country — <a href="https://www.t-mobile.com/store-locator/tx/southlake/main-central">Southlake</a>, Texas, and the Signature Stores in <a href="https://www.t-mobile.com/store-locator/fl/miami-beach/south-beach">Miami</a> and <a href="https://www.t-mobile.com/store-locator/ca/santa-monica/3rd-street-promenade">Santa Monica</a>. Smash that 5G button on the door and get ready for an absolute HAUL of Reese’s, including the exclusive Take 5G bar! Each location is clean and family-friendly, so costume up and get your candy on.

“We bring the treats, they bring the speed. That’s what is going to make this collab between Reese’s and T-Mobile the ultimate trick-or-treat experience,” said Reese’s Senior Brand Manager, Allen Dark. “What could fans want more than Reese’s peanut butter cups for Halloween … getting that perfect combination of peanut butter and chocolate even faster!”

And, ten lucky visitors will win a free 5G smartphone, a year of T-Mobile 5G service and a year of free Reese’s product!* Not in one of the Apartment 5G locations? You won’t get ghosted. Because T-Mobile believes EVERYONE deserves access to 5G, EVERYONE gets a chance to win.
