Re: will a unlocked sonim xp3 phone work for t-mobile after january 1 2022
I'm on a $15/month prepaid plan (because it's way cheaper than any of the post-pay plans and, since I barely use any data at all, I definitely don't need the maximum amount of the latest number of Gs). The promotion, I'm told, was only available either to those on a post-pay plan, or to those who upgrade to a prepaid plan that was 2-4 times more expensive (maybe both, maybe just the first one, I can't remember). I don't think they were making it up on the spot, either; they had to consult a table that had been printed out from corporate HQ.3Visto1like0ComentariosRe: will a unlocked sonim xp3 phone work for t-mobile after january 1 2022
I ended up stopping in at a T-mobile store and asked about this. The supervisor was eventually called out and he determined that my Sonim XP3 would work fine, and that I got these messages because they were just automatically sent out to everyone who didn't have some such-and-such kind of phone or something. Additionally, the promotion for the free replacement is only available to people paying for a much more expensive plan that I have, so in my case it would have been a very expensive replacement.3Visto2likes0ComentariosRe: Will my Sonim XP3 work after July 1, 2022?
MyCommID, This problem happens in places where my phone normally allows me to talk, text, and use data just fine. It even happens in places where I can also use wifi, like at home. By the way, T-mobile does offer the XP3, or at least it did at the time I bought mine about a year ago, and they still offered it the last time I was on this site (late April 2022, about nine days ago; I am too lazy to check today).12Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: will a unlocked sonim xp3 phone work for t-mobile after january 1 2022
Thanks again, that's aligned with my thinking too. When you say "persist/dig-deeper" are you thinking verbally, after calling 611? In person, at a T-mobile store? Is there some way to do this "digging" just through the website? In your experience, what's the best tactic?3Visto2likes0ComentariosRe: will a unlocked sonim xp3 phone work for t-mobile after january 1 2022
Thanks Al. They have offered me a new phone for $0 but it's a touchscreen smartphone that I don't want. I suppose if the XP3 does actually stop working I could get the free phone anyway and just use it as a stopgap until I find a new flip phone...3Visto1like0ComentariosSonim XP3 can't send or receive multimedia or group texts even with 4G or wifi on
My Sonim XP3 is awesome, one of my favorite phones I've ever had, BUT: the only thing that annoys me about it is I can't receive texts containing multimedia, or group texts. Instead I just get a message saying "Couldn't download..." and even if I turn on data and/or Wifi, I still can't download them. Needless to say I can't send them either. It's a 4G phone, and my previous flip phones were even less capable and even they had no trouble with these kinds of messages, even with the data turned off. Anyone know what's causing this issue or how to solve it?603Visto0likes2ComentariosWill my Sonim XP3 work after July 1, 2022?
Apparently people with a Sonim XP3 were told their phones wouldn't work after January 1, 2022. Well, mine still works. Now I am getting regular texts from T-mobile saying my phone won't work after July 1, 2022. Should I believe it? The texts say T-mobile is getting rid of 3G and that I should "upgrade" my device. The XP3 is a 4G LTE phone, so why should this affect me? I would consider any other device a downgrade anyway, since I hate both touchscreen phones and the KaiOS they install on most flip phones. Is this just a marketing ploy?888Visto1like7Comentarios
