“T-Mobile data-breach website lets alguien sign up for identity-theft protection”

https://www.tomsguide.com/news/t-mobile-data-breach-identity-theft-protection

As crazy as it may seem, let's look at this from another perspective. What about the former T-Mobile consumer that decided to cancel his plan within the last year or so? What about the consumer that applied service recently but due to whatever reason, was denied? The hack did not just involve the personal information of current consumers but also that of former and prospective consumers too. Therefore T-Mobile also owes it to them to offer protection does it not? How do you reach those people? Do the have to have a T-Mobile account/number to be able to take part in this offer? That would seem a little unfair if that was the case.
