How Can I Setup My T-Mobile ID for My Home Internet Account...???

Refer to my post noted above; inability to create a T-Mobile ID is resolved thanks to a female super-tech based in the Philippines  It may be a solution for others. Although other techs I spoke to did not resolve issue, they made an outstanding effort to do so.

My brief experiences with the gateway setup/performance and technical support is quite positive.

Here is what I get when I try to login to my account for the last 8 months

I just tried this, but apparently I was already enrolled in e-billing, so that doesn't seem to be the underlying problem. Thanks for the tip, though. Anyone else got any other ideas to get past the "Service unavailable F451: Uh-oh, it looks like we have our wires crossed.  Please try again later." error message?

Finally got my issue fixed and have a fully working ID. Basically, home internet tech support opened a ticket for me and handled the ticket by deleting the ID that I created for the forum when I was trying to find a workaround for the fact that my email wasn't being recognized when I tried to create an ID the other ways. When I called tech support today to check the status of my ticket, they were able to quickly create a new ID for me from scratch with no issues. My advice to anyone running into the "email not recognized" error message when you try to create an ID: Don't create an ID for the forum and don't call 800-937-8997. Call 844-275-9310 and have tech support create the ID for you.

Just in case this helps anyone else….

I am a SMALL BUSINESS INTERNET user. Same technology, and I wasted about 3 hours with customer service trying to get the Tmobile ID figured out… they really have no clue.

This may not help all (or specifically the home internet users), but I found this thread while I was searching for answers, so I figured there will be other business users that come here…

Customer service is giving business users the wrong information. Visita tfb.tmobile.com/signup NOT the usual tmobile.com/isp that they try to send you to. Enter your email that you provided for order and your business tax ID number. create an admin account - and your golden.

F451 Service etc is the exact message I got when I keyed my gateway phone number into the link field.

As I mentioned in my post today, the tech "TOGGLED THE HARD LOCK SET" and that resolved my issue. After she performed that action, I keyed in my phone number into the link field and I'm into my account. It MAY be a solution for you. Find a tech that understands what her action involved and you MAY have a fix.

 

Worked perfect,, thank you

Hello I hope someone else finds this useful. It's Feb 2022 for me and the solution is that you have to wait until your equipment gets shipped out and starts heading to your house. After that you will receive an email so make sure you keep up with their emails. In this email they'll tell you it's coming and that you can now officially set up the T mobile ID. You will then download the app. Copy and paste the number they gave you (this is the number for your WiFi btw) and make your account so you can make payments, do autopay, and sign up for your first free month and Paramount Plus etc. Hope this helps because I was freaking out myself trying to figure things out, ALSO IF YOU HAVE ANY SET UP PROBLEMS THERE ARE PLENTY OF HELPFUL VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE AS WELL AS REVIEW VIDEOS FOR ANY STREAMERS, GAMERS, FAMILIES, OR STAY AT HOME WORKERS. 

Ok I figured it out - in order to sign in to your account on the main page, you have to enter the credentials that are printed on the bar code sticker on the bottom of your T-Mobile Home Internet Gateway/Router; for me, the username was ‘admin’, and the password was a bunch of random letters and numbers. 

Therefore, you do NOT need to create a new account of some sort; you simply use the pre-existing admin account whose credentials are printed on the bottom of your device.

Everyone that’s having this issue, try this link : 

https://www.t-mobile.com/isp

In the upper right hand corner, click “My Account” and below that there is another link for Home Internet customers to sign up for a T-Mobile ID and it doesn’t require a phone number. 

Hope this helps!

I was stuck until I followed the instructions as per this post. Thank you very much Bjn1104.

I signed up for the Home Internet and got an email that I was activated on 04/01/21... A few days later the cylinder device arrived and connected to the internet easily. Nevertheless, I cannot register to get a T-Mobile ID for this account. I cannot login online OR use the T-Mobile app because it keeps stating they don't recognize my email. I've had two lengthy phone calls with support and visited a store (whom in turn called support)... As of now I STILL can't create a T-Mobile ID to manage my account. (This account was created using my Pre-paid phone account...)

 

At first I thought it didn't matter that I couldn't access my account since the service is working so-so... But at the end of the first month my service was cut off as the person who initiated my account did not ensure that I was signed up for autopay. I never received an email about my bill. When I called telenor call packages about my service they wanted me to pay the $65 + restoration fee + plus a fee for making a payment manually over the phone...?!?  It would have all been over $90... It should have only been $60... After admitting their fault they charged me $67 to continue with the service... I'm told I'm signed up for autopay, but we will see…

 

I STILL CAN'T REGISTER FOR A T-MOBILE ID so that I can manage my account. I've been working with the store and they're having trouble getting the techs to resolve this problem as of... 06/02/2021... 

 

Internet quality is lacking... The speed is inconsistent; 5mbs - 25mbs... I can't visit some websites using the Home Internet device yet have no problems visiting the same sites/pages using my T-Mobile prepaid phone account as a hotspot. Reviewers should look into the issue as to why this ISP (T-Mobile Home Internet) cannot be used to access some websites. There are quite a few pages I cannot access, but yet I can access them using T-Mobile's prepaid phone account as a hotspot.

 

I am also having the same question’s answer.

I am having the same problem. It keeps saying it does not recognize the email address when trying to set up the ID...even though I received emails regarding my order at the same address. The welcome email only lists the router and the router's phone number.

This seems to be a persistent issue for T-Mobile. Luckily, this is not our only ISP. I'll give it a month and then cancel if this issue is not corrected. 

Edit: I have solved my problem at least. When you create an account for the forum, you are basically setting up your T-Mobile ID. If you log-in to the main page, it will ask you to link your phone. I used the phone number for the router, entered the last 4 of SSN and now my account is linked. 

For the prepaid folks, maybe there is an option to add phones to your account. If so, just use the number for the router and add it. Best of luck!

I just tried this and it worked as well. Might be the only solution for it for now.
