Unofficial Lemmy Community for all things related to T-Mobile US.

This Lemmy community is based on the r/tmobile subreddit.

Any moderator of r/tmobile that would like moderator access here feel free to send me a message.

Rules (currently copied from the T-Mobile subreddit):

  1. No doxxing

Do not post someone's personal information. Not only is this against the rules here, it's frowned upon lemmy-wide. Please don't reveal any information that can be used to track someone down in real life. It just simply isn't a nice thing to do. Examples might include the full name of any T-Mo employee who helped you, or something that could be used to put their job in jeopardy.

  1. Keep it cool

Simple. Just be excellent to each other. Don't get too heated, don't start tossing ad hominem attacks at people. Focus on the subject, not the person making the point. And if someone is legitimately trying to help you but you're not getting the answer you want, please don't lash out at people. We're all trying to help to the best of our abilities.

  1. Don't be negative

If you need help, please ask! If you're going to complain, make it a constructive complaint. We are all here to help. Posts that are made to bash T-Mobile/Sprint/AnyCarrier/Person/System etc will be removed.

Posts that are purely negative and/or do not promote further conversation will be removed.

  1. Be ethical

Do not be unethical. This includes trying to avoid tethering limitations, offering to bribe employees for device unlocks, or recommending things that break the T&Cs.

  1. Stay on-topic

The purpose of this lemmy community is to discuss all things T-Mobile. Try and focus on T-Mobile when you make your post. Non-T-Mobile posts are allowed if the goal is a discussion about T-Mobile. Direct links to other carrier's advertisements or press releases will likely be removed. Constructive criticism about T-Mobile is perfectly acceptable, but hate, memes, and pure bashing is not.

  1. _______ goes in the Megathread

Megathreads are used when popular topics begin generating lots of posts. If there is a megathread on a topic, that is where you post belongs. Please respect this subreddit by asking your question there first. An exception to this rule is if a major change or breaking news about a megathread topic occurs. Your post may be allowable then.

  1. No account sharing

Posts asking for or offering lines on someone elses account, personal or business, is prohibited.

Does anyone have a good way to set up a splitz x750v2 4g with TMHI? I've already spoofed the imei of the old gateway and have the sim inserted in the new one, but it will not register still. Does t-mo block these boxes from their network through ways other than the imei? I've spent hours and hours trying to get it online and trying with different APN's.

Please help me, I've spent over $100 for this to work and it isn't. I'm doing this because the 5g is very congested and the tech support doesn't even know the difference between 5G and 5ghz wifi.

Here is a chart showing how T-Mobile US's coverage has changed over the past 3.5 years on each band. Data comes from T-Mobile.

T-Mobile made waves back in 2021 when they automatically set user privacy settings to on by default for sharing customer info with advertisers. It made a lot of people angry then, and a new setting that’s appeared in the same settings is once again enabled by default.

A new toggle has shown up in the T-Mobile “Privacy Center”, and it appears to have first been spotted a month ago on Reddit. The toggle is for allowing “automated profiling” of your user data to analyze and predict how a user might behave, particularly when interacting with support.

This article will dive into what exactly “profiling” is in this context, and how you can opt-out for your account.

T-Mobile Is Forcibly Moving Those on Older Plans to Some of Its Newer Ones in November. Key takeaway: You can Opt-out but have to call T-Mobile Customer Care to do so. My Magenta to Go5G basic plan would cost $240 more annually for the added additional bonus of...extra hotspot data. That's it.

Well, I just spent an hour with customer service. First trying to gain access to my own bill. Then trying to understand why I'm being charged for Pandora Premium "on us", which clearly is not "on us", and I never signed up for (T Mobile assured me I did).

Made me wonder how many others went from a free Tidal account to a not free Pandora account.

Anyone else?

I'm hoping someone here has recent experience and can tell me how things worked out.

We have international data and sms built into our plans and really, that's all we need. We know we're covered there.

We'll be travelling lesser-known and well-known sites in Italy and I'm concerned about connection quality and connection speeds. We did okay in the past, but always found ourselves doing anything meaningful when we got back to our room (WiFi).

Does anyone know if we should expect 2G, LTE, 5G?

Just tried to send a friend a story about Parkinson's from lemmy.world and every single time TMobile strips the link from my SMS. They let tumblr.com though.

I just looked up if they're actively censoring other sites and, yes. They are. They claim they're only doing this to obscure domains (.xyz and so on) but I just watched a YouTuber demonstrate .com censorship too. So it seems it's less arbitrary than they claim.

https://www.reddit.com/r/tmobile/comments/rskfmx/video_evidence_of_tmobiles_sms_blocking_the_more/

The conservatives are crying about it like it's just them getting censored but it seems it's beyond party lines if I can't share an article about Parkinson's research.

Earlier today, T-Mobile unveiled a new update to its network: network slicing.

In a blog post, T-Mobile EVP & Chief Technology Officer, John Saw, described what network slicing is. Saw also revealed that they were already able to use 5G network slicing for a remote video production on a commercial network.
