They won't have information on this since this is a change for non-consumer business partners that have the ability to pump mass-text messages into the T-Mobile infrastructure. These changes have nothing to do with consumer activity and everything to do with stopping the mass broadcast of scam, spam, and phishing links.. I made a more detailed post up-thread. https://community.t-mobile.com/android-9/time-to-leave-tmobile-54982?postid=212555#post21255512Visto2likes0ComentariosRe: Time to leave Tmobile.

I've made a more detailed post in this thread if you would like to know what is really going on and how it differs from the popular misinformation on the topic. https://community.t-mobile.com/android-9/time-to-leave-tmobile-54982?postid=212555#post21255520Visto2likes0ComentariosRe: Time to leave Tmobile.
There has been a lot of reaction to this unnecessarily prompted by a defective understanding that Laura Loomer holds and has spread. Welcome to the world of misinformation. I'll explain what is actually happening and why there is no need for concern. There are a number of entities that are authorized to access parts of the infrastructure of various mobile providers for purposes such as transmitting messages. Some VOIP providers might use such interfaces so that text messages sent by their customers can be delivered. These interfaces may also be used by providers such as Twilio to support SMS marketing campaigns and provide a way for computer services to interact with customers over text. There has been a growing problem with dubious people and entities using text services to broadcast scam text, such as false reports of a package that could not be delivered, telling a person they can resolve the problem by filling out a form at an attached link. A person may think that by entering their name, address, and credit card number, that they are paying the $0.75 for shipping. Or that they are getting a refund for something. In reality, they are handing over details of their payment to dishonest people. In furtherance of obstructing suchefforts and other problematic messages, T-Mobile is informing non-consumer entities that they will bear a burden for pumping such messages into the T-Mobile network. The application of fees for violations may motivate some of these providers to filter these messages out and drop customers trying to scam people or engage in illegal activity. The parties on which this puts a burden are not T-Mobile phone customers. As a T-Mobile user, the likely effect this will have on you is that your chances of receiving scam text will go down. SCAM and SPAM text are a real problem, and T-Mobile is taking action to address it. Ignore those that are invoking fear and outrage with misinformation about this. This is something that lowers your risks. It was especially convenient of them to start this rumor at a time when people are taking off for the holiday and are away, unable to respond.6Visto1like0Comentarios
