calls from jail
so my friend currently is in county jail and has been calling me for months and i have been getting the calls until recently, however the past maybe 2 months or so he has called several times where it doesnt even ring on my end but it will his and eventually get my voice mail and when you look at my call records the number shows up on there too...it doesnt happen every time he calls the past 2 months just sometimes...my account is in good standing and i prepay for jail minutes with my credit card so its not like i even add them to my tmobile bill...anyone else have this kind of issue or has? can anyone help? i called customer service and basically they didnt know why either and this doesnt happen with anyone else
I am having the same issue it has been 6 days now and it's ridiculously frustrating nobody has answers. Did anyone get it fixed or what was your results?
Only for his call not anyone else it won't ring and will show missed call and voicemail notification.
I've tried everything been on phone for hours with gtl connect network, tmobile customer service even went out and bought the latest new phone, upgraded my plan to magenta, changed the sim.card out, and have no blocks no spam calls no do not disturb no airplane mode etc etc. I am beyond over this issue. Someone know anything?
Literally having the same issue I dialed #632# and still not able to accept calls from my husband. My mother has T mobile and is able to accept calls and we have the same phone so I'm not sure. Judging from all these complaints nothing has been resolved
I switched to Verizon right after I posted that comment and it was an immediate huge difference! I never have problems now unless they're truly having an issue on their end but even then it just has him call one more time (so twice total). I would save yourself the hassle and switch! It was actually a lot cheaper right now for me to switch to Verizon anyways because they don't charge for the phone every month like T-Mobile so it saved me $35 a month! And no worries for my boyfriend and I on calls. So much peace of mind. :)
I'm having this issue, I receive the calls but am not able to press one to accept. I'm on the verge of getting a new phone. Did anyone find a fix for this?

Im legit having this issue. When I go to press 1 it doesn't go through. I reset my phone, power it off and nothing works. And coincidentally it happens on the weekends most of the time. I called securus before and they said it was a technical issue and it was resolved but it's been happening. I feel like it's my phone because it's 5g and I'm not in a good 5g network, but I changed my network and it still doesn't work. I feel like t-mobile isn't gonna be able to do shit. Securus even said they have issue with t-mobile, and at&t with connection issues. I'm not sure. I hope you figure yours out and it works for you.
I have done all the things that everyone suggested or has worked for them. It has been 1 1/2 years. I did the same thing that someone else said on here. They went out and bought a new phone. This is the only other thing I thought I should try. Because I have done Tech Support, I don't know how many Tech tickets to date I have, Customer Service on both sides, Supervisor and their supervisor, turn off spam etc.... etc... etc!!! I'm just so upset I feel numb. I'm drained emotionally from GTL & T- Mobile playing with my emotions now! I don't know what else I possibly could do. If it wasn't for being able to email him, and have a land line in my home to talk to him once in awhile, I don't know where I would be. I feel bad there are so many of us in this situation. Sad thing is T-mobile and GTL just don't care to fix it. A year and a half later and still nothing. Hang in there!!!
I've had so many issues with signal in my own home (in an urban area with plenty of signal) that using the phone for work has been embarrassing. Now having this experience with my brother who just went in a couple months ago trying to call on Christmas it's time to move on. What a hassle for all of you. I hope everyone finds a better alternative.
So many trouble tickets opened and I’m still having all the same problems mentioned here…I hope someone is reading this at T-Mobile and are willing and able to fix this terrible issue!
I'm having the same problems. I had no issues receiving calls from my wife in prison up until 4 days ago and now nothing will come through. I've turned off scam shield and scam blockers, done #632# multiple times, Securus even suggested adding their 866 phone number to my do not block list and still nothing. I even switched from Android to IPhone and still no change. I've have literally been on the phone with TMobile for like 8 hours over the past 3 days and still no change. I will probably have to go to Verizon now, this is ridiculous!
I'm having the same issue. My boyfriend tried calling me 13 times last night and I got one call that actually came through. I called GTL and they said it's showing like I'm blocking the call…… So today they said "it's your carrier, have them take off the spam filters". So I call T-mobile and they say there aren't any and everything looks good. I in-blocked every number I've ever blocked just in case, and checked all my settings aren't preventing anything. I got a couple calls from him today after that but none later on when he always calls. I've heard Verizon doesn't have this issue. I'm beyond frustrated!
