My T-mobile app for prepaid
The My T-mobile app hasn't worked for almost a month. I called 611 and they said it doesn't work with prepaid accounts. Is this true?
Hey Everyone!
We did a bit more digging and did find this to be true for most prepaid accounts. We're in the process of upgrading the MyT-Mobile App experience for our prepaid users which will hopefully provide more options than you had before. Sorry you weren't notified a head of time, however, while we're fixing it up, you can have a few other ways you can manage your account aquí.
There is absolutely no acceptable reason not to notify users when an app is disabled for an entire class of customers. I'm a prepaid customer - in addition to the app not working, I haven't been able to get the website to work for about three weeks.
When I called 1 (800) 866-2453 on the phone earlier I was notified that the app no longer works for prepaid accounts. There are easily four different ways T-Mobile could have told me this - they have my phone number, my e-mail address, my mailing address, and whatever app permissions I gave them initially. (Or they could have just posted a notice on the website remarking upon the change, so that's actually five.)
The first woman I talked to told me I had to pay for next month in order to talk to technical support. When I protested because my plan is not due for 5 or 6 days, she told me it was optional. The "technical support" woman I talked to wanted to change my rate plan so they could troubleshoot the website, and tried to convince me that I could change my plan back if I didn't like the new rate plan. Something fishy is going on, and as much as I love my stupid-cheap prepaid T-Mobile plan, I'm looking for a new carrier immediately. Seems like they're trying to push us out of existence.
