T-Mobile US Unofficial Lemmy Community

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.

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.

I switched to Verizon over t mobile getting greedy.

My bill is actually lower.

Which is funny because I switched from Verizon to T-mobile because Verizon was getting greedy. My bill is substantially lower and my service is much better.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Same. Where I live there are next to no options so I was stuck with Verizon for years. As soon as T-Mobile came in I jumped ship. They're both cheaper and were first to offer 5G here (although I think Verizon recently got 5G going here as well).

I've found T-Mobile to be pretty good for the last decade but I won't argue points or simp as to why because they're all miserable corporations scamming us for data. I imagine it all comes down to varying mileage personally. One thing I'll say is that switching companies will always lead to a cheaper bill due to introductory rates. For instance: I have to boomerang between AT&T, MetroNet, and Spectrum to keep my ISP rate low.

I had them for years but after they merged with Sprint, they have run into money issues. It is why everything has gone up.

Csuite and Board could give up a few* raises.

Corrected

I have 7 lines with T-Mobile (3 of which are free). With that plus the discounts on TMHI and YouTube TV, I think I'm stuck here financially for the time being.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I have 4 lines. All in all, I am about 30 dollars cheaper a month. The service is also much better.

Might be worth checking around to see.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is that for real?? Last time I checked (a couple years ago), Verizon would be 50-75% more than my T-Mobile plan. I have no allegiance to any company but I have my whole family on my plan so I'd need a good reason to switch

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

IN the past that is what I saw but when I switched I saved some cash.

In Oregon, T-Mobile sucks. Verizon is much better. I was expecting to pay more but ended up saving.

It all varies on plan, number of lines, etc.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'll have to look into it then. All the major carriers have great service out here so it comes down to the price for me

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You experience may differ but that was mine. T mobile started to charge credit card fees unless I used ach. Nobody does ach in my accounts.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

It's worth looking into at least! I hadn't reevaluated my opinion of Verizon since I chose not to go with them
