Free data for life not working - anyone else?
I've had "Free Data for life" on my tablet for a couple of years now. In July 2018 or so, it suddenly stopped working. I've already spent hours on the phone and a few more hours in store talkin...
Yeah, I think that's a good idea to call. It's a feature that would be on the account and one of our TEX folks can double check on it for you and make sure it's there.

I called multiple times and they said the same thing every time. Then the free data for life disappeared and no amount of escalation or tforce could help with it. They kept blaming it on random things and couldn't put it back on. Eventually I gave up and it was pretty frustrating.
I did get an email from T-Mobile that the FDFL account was restored. This was a few weeks later.
By then it was too late. I had already given the tablet away.
Just as well. The Alcatel tablet had only 4GB of storage space. After all the required apps, I could only install 1 or 2 other apps.
But it sounds like FDFL is a T-Mobile broken promise. Pathetic.
