New 4-character Access-code for Tuesdays
I use the 5G Internet but DO NOT have a T-Mobile phone. When I attempt to use the Tuesday App (on my non T-Mobile phone) the App occasionally requires me to log-in again. In order to do that, a 4-digit access-code is sent to my modem… which I must then enter into the App. My modem is mounted on a very high shelf in order to obtain a good signal --- so I must then use a step-ladder to view the access-code. QUESTION --- is it possible to obtain this access-code via a TEXT or an EMAIL instead? If so, I could avoid using a potentially dangerous stepladder. The currently scheme is not user-friendly.
Download Whatsapp. Load the phone number for your gateway into Whatsapp. Texts will show up in your Whatsapp.
It must be via text to confirm that you are the person requesting access to the app to redeem promos.
Well… yes… the TEXT is sent. It arrives at the MODEM… which is located in an awkward location. I had been wondering if this TEXT (or equivalent code) could be sent in an alternate manner… to a non-TM phone or to an email address. The current scheme continues to be non-friendly since I use a step-ladder for each access. (but if I relocate the modem to a lower/accessible location, then my signal is diminished)
It's a T-Mobile perk for T-Mobile customers. To confirm eligibility and that it only applies to one sign in for the app. It is a text to a T-Mobile number. As an alternative, you could always bring your non-T-Mobile number to T-Mobile or add a new line to your T-Mobile account.
The WHATSAPP technique sounds interesting… but ??? I researched this and found several sources stating that the WHATSAPP needs to be installed on the "phone" receiving the original text. If so, I cannot do that because that "phone" is only a dummy-number assigned to my modem. REMEMBER - I don't have a phone-account at TM.
Please clarify… is it possibile to load WHATSAPP onto my non-TM phone so that it will then receive TEXT-messages from my gateway? I am a newbie and somewhat uneasy when using cell-phone apps.
At any rate, I appreciate your response.
