PSA for anyone unable to register T-Mobile ID for home internet: quick fix that support is not aware of

After going through several useless support specialists none were able to help me. 

However, the after seeing a suggestion from another user to capitalize he first letter of your email address worked. There is a major bug in their system that is not registering emails when the first letter is lowercase. 

Use this link to set up your ID, make sure its the sign up page that asks for the phone number associated with the account - the home internet sign up page will not work at all. 

https://account.t-mobile.com/signin/v2/enterPhoneNumber?redirect_uri=https:%2F%2Fwww.t-mobile.com%2Fsignin&scope=TMO_ID_profile%20associated_lines%20billing_information%20associated_billing_accounts%20extended_lines%20token%20openid%20vault%20role%20consent&client_id=MYTMO&access_type=ONLINE&response_type=code&approval_prompt=auto&prompt=select_account&state=eyJpbnRlbnQiOiJMb2dpbiIsImJvb2ttYXJrVXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudC1tb2JpbGUuY29tL2FjY291bnQvZGFzaGJvYXJkIn0&loginId=&fp_client=eaf302caaf588456f21e4101c5fe0c18

 

input email as such: Emailaddress@gmail.com no emailaddress@gmail.com

 

hope this saves people some time.

    They won't take a credit card for some reason. I do not give out access to my bank accounts, and debit cards do not have the same protections as a credit card so that does not get used for these kind of things. I was on today with customer care and found this out. So until I can get into my account I am at a dead end.  T Mobile needs to take credit cards in customer  care. Still stuck until the fix the system so I can finish making my account and put in the credit card.

  • I have the same problem. When I enter the TMobile phone number to verify at login, it says my number is not valid But it is the one they gave me for the home internet. Went to the local T mobile store that set me up and they spent 45 minutes on the phone with tec support. No luck. They said try again in a week. So I can not even set up auto pay because I cant get the account? Waiting for someone to find a solution. 

  • Has anyone figured out the being able to login but no phone number works problem yet? Internet got shut off again due to my inability to set up account to PAY THE BILL

    Same issue. I can enter the T-mobile id which is my email (upper/lower case doesn't matter)...then password successfully but when I am asked for a phone number to link to, neither my router's virtual phone number or my non-T-Mobile cell number will be accepted. I've spoken with a few different T-Mobile support reps and each have acknowledged the problem, said they're working on it, and was told wait 24 hours and keep trying. It's been a few weeks since I got the service up and running. On the bright side, the internet speeds are generally pretty impressive and service has been reliable.

    I managed to get a T Mobile ID and I am able to log in with my email address and password but THEN it ask for my T-Mobile phone number to send the confirmation code to.  It gives me an error when I input the number from the gateway and it ask for a valid T-Mobile number when I input my non T-Mobile phone number (the number I provided when I opened the account).  Seems to me it is a quick and easy fix but who am I?  Just a meaningless customer.
