Unable to transfer my Tombile phone to a new Tombile phone on upgrade!

¿Deseas mantener tu número de teléfono?

Ingresa tu número a continuación para determinar si se puede transferir a T-Mobile.
Phone number ###-###-####

 

Sorry, this T-MOBILE USA, INC. number can't be transferred to T-Mobile. Te proporcionaremos un nuevo número telefónico una vez completada la compra.

This makes no sense and must be bugged?

  • I upgraded to a new iPhone 13 Pro Max.   All I had to do was move the SIM card from my old iPhone 12 Pro Max to the new phone.

    If the number is already a T-Mobile number.  It can't be ported in because it's already a T-Mobile number.  If you are already a T-Mobile customer and want to transfer your number to another account.  You can reach out to Customer Care at 611 for more information and to potentially get that process started for you.

    It wont let me select the upgrade option to to move the phone and tells me a new number will be setup! personally I dont want to go through that whole issue as the last time I transferred I had the same problem and it charged me for two accounts for two lines.

    So no unless TMOBILE provide the option to move a TMOBILE phone to TMOBILE upgrade I wont be upgrading unless as everytime I have gone through this process they have totally cocked up the upgrade!! Last time I told them I had enough, so i want to see the option on the upgrade path not relay that I wont be charged for two accounts.

    Did you buy the phone through your Tmobile account? Your account is tied to the sim and not the phone.

    Can you not use the same sim card from an SE to switch to the iphone 13 Pro?
