T-Mobile 5G Gateway device
Hi, I just received today the 5G Gateway from T-Mobile. Going through the setup screen in front of the device, a strange message appeared saying that my Chime account had been updated to phone numb...
The gateway's phone number probably used to belong to someone with a chime account. I think you can safely ignore it. You might get other messages intended for the former number holder.

This makes perfect sense, I did see a phone number for this device on my account. Thanks! I will plug it back and send a text message to it.
So this is nothing more than a very powerful hotspot! similar to my current phone, but with extra cookie.
I had my doubts that this will work, I explained to the sales rep, and even to technicians over the phone that I have a T-Mobile Cell Spot inside my home, plugged in to my current Internet Provider. Without the home cell spot I get no T-Mobile signal. But they insist that my address is whitelisted for this service.
I doubt that the 5G Gateway will get signal. But maybe there is something I don't know regarding the base station.
