Well other than for security reasons it's just good practice. With as many Wireless account as there are being hacked into with people's information being stolen and accounts being changed it's somewhat important to have an updated password as well as account verification PIN numbers.

The correct forced password change interval is *never*. This is a bad, bad policy and I can't believe T-Mobile is sticking to its guns on this. Changing a password that is not known to be compromised does NOT improve security, and on the contrary, only forces frustrated users to choose simpler, less secure passwords--or even worse, re-use them.
