The utter and abject failure of my encounter with T- Mobile support of the Cellular option provided by Apple Watches. Original problem: Lost the ability, that originally worked, to make or receive cellular VOICE calls when out of range of cell phone, or when cell phone was turned off….. EVEN THOUGH I was still on the T-Mobile LTE network and had the use of text and GPS. After working with T-Mobile tech, I lost the ability to add a cellular plan to watch (getting Error code 406.) The watch works as normal, when able to go thru the cellular phone. But without being able to use the phone as a conduit, the calls always fail. Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max / Apple Watch Series 7 / All with current software Two hours on the phone with T-Mobile Front end and backend support 4/3 Two hours at a T-Mobile store with representative and backend support 4/4 Two hours at the Apple Store ALL WITH NO ONE WITH ANY CLUE WHAT WAS WRONG Apple sent my Apple Watch off to the regional repair location 4/5 New replacement Apple Watch Series 7 with Cellular received Problem persists on new watch Another 3 hours on phone with T-Mobile backend support New error in addition to old problem T-Mobile error "The maximum number of devices allowed to be paired to this phone has been reached. To continue you will need to unpair a device."Error code 406" T-Mobile representative was unable to figure this out …… Back on the phone to Apple L2/L3support… confirms message is referencing T-Mobile configuration or processes. Another call to T-Mobile T-Mobile backend support unable to make any inroads toward a solution, advised they are sending me out a new cellular phone. My cellular phone has consistently been the only thing working properly, so I am hesitant to change anything with that regard. THIS HAS BEEN AN ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE. I love Apple products, but their partnership with T-Mobile is a ghastly abomination of inadequate training or processes that are too complicatedfor their employees…. It's been a week since my ordeal began, and there is no end in sight… My advice, STAY AWAY FROM T-MOBILES implementation of the cellular capabilities of Apples watches. DIGITS is a failure, either by complexity, process, or employee training and expertise.
Phone promotions for new watches only
I'm so frustrated with T-Mobile! I have been with this company since 2004 and continue to be punished for being a loyal customer. I have a series 4 watch purchased in 2019 with a line and have been looking for any offer on watches for the last 2 years and the only deals they give are for new lines. It's upsetting because my cellular doesn't even work on my watch anymore like it should and so I'm willing to get a new watch but would like to purchase on a promo. So to do so Ihave to be inconvenienced for 90-days and then add the line back on. I find this upsetting. I've been patient and I just don't feel like TMobile cares about existing customers. It makes me really sad
How can you get Web based texts on your DIGITS Line?
I am not able to receive any web generated text messages on my DIGITS line any long. I used to be able to. A few versions back it suddenly stopped. This and Tmobile is my business up. How can this be fixed? I can't find any settings for this. HELP!!!
