T-Mobile ID

Does any one know how to create a T-Mobile ID and access the account? I started T-Mobile 5G internet service on April 22 and have been trying since that time to create a T-Mobile ID. Despite numerous calls to customer service no one has been able to assist. The error message I kept getting was "We're sorry, we don't recognize this email." Yet, I input the exact email I used when signing up for internet service, and T-Mobile has sent me several emails (including the "You're In" email, confirmation of order email, terms of service mail, as well as several marketing emails).

Finally (May 12), when trying to create a T-Mobile ID I received a message that there already is a T-Mobile ID associated with my email address. FINALLY (after more than 20 attempts at various times and using different browsers).

However, now the issue is that when I try to log-in I get a screen asking for my telephone number to link to my account and a confirmation code will be sent. When I enter my telephone number (non- T-Mobile) an error message pops up "Please verify your 10 digit T-Mobile phone number is correct." 

I am stuck in a maze of never-ending loops -- first I could not create a T-Mobile ID since my email supposedly was not recognized, and now I cannot access my account because I receive an error message that I am not entering a T-Mobile phone number. I do not have T-Mobile phone service, and when I enter the phone number listed on my 5G internet gateway I get the error message that I was getting when initially trying to create a T-Mobile ID: "We're sorry, we don't recognize this email."

    Thanks for the reply, although, unfortunately, that does not work for me.

    As noted in my initial posting, when I enter the phone number listed on my 5G internet gateway (modem), it takes me back to the error message that I was getting when initially trying to create a T-Mobile ID: “We're sorry, we don't recognize this email.”

    I have received numerous text messages from customer service to my 5G internet gateway (modem), but when trying to access my account, the webpage will not send me a one-time verification code to the modem. Instead, I simply get the initial error message: "We're sorry, we don't recognize this email" even though my email already has been recognized.

    It is a maze of never-ending dead ends.

    Yet, T-Mobile has sent more than a dozen messages to my email, including an email message on May 12 that my “T-Mobile ID is officially ready to use.”

     

     

    Just to understand, are you able to log into T-Mobile ( https://account.t-mobile.com/signin ) using just your email address and password?

     

    Seems you were able to log into this community without a phone number.

     

    Now that probably doesn’t solve whether your gateway and the gateway phone number are in your T-Mobile account.

     

     

  • I will comment on each of these issues/comments in hopes that they will resolve this issue. I am having the same problem and T-mobile refuses to resolve an issue.

    Hello, I had that problem and I called T-Mobile "again" and a customer service representative did a complaint ticket to restart the process with the email you want to use.  It takes a few hours and you can go back in to make a new T-Mobile I. D.

    I gave up on registering on their website.It seems for their posts that it has been a problem for a long time and no one want to fix it?
