    Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

    in T-Mobile Merger/5G NR Deployment

    Frome here: https://www.theverge.com/2022/8/24/23320133/spacex-starlink-t-mobile-connectivity-5g-satellite-elon-musk

    This: Perhaps it’s a spectrum announcement of some kind? A partnership to strengthen both Starlink’s sometimes-overloaded satellite internet connections in rural areas and T-Mobile’s home internet product that doesn’t have quite enough coverage? A SpaceX deal for T-Mobile subscribers?

    While hiring that company is nice, it should have never gotten to this point in the first place. What is this, like the 3rd time T-Mobile has been hacked. There was no need to keep customer info on their servers like that. Its bad practice as per the NSA general counsel mentioned a while back. While my account wasn't affected, whos to say the next time (and there will be a next time) that it won't be.

    But as usual, all they get is a slap on the wrists and the customer has to deal with changing passwords, pins, locking credit cards etc.

    Agreed. I thought of the old adage “Fool me once shame on you …”. My Postpaid plan was not affected but my ancient but still active iPad Free 200mb for life plan was and I received notification. 

    Frustrated. T-Mobile outgoing Caller ID not working correctly on one (newest) line.

    I'm on T-Mobile and have 8 lines. All but the last (newest) line have outgoing Caller ID that works correctly.
    The newest line only displays City and State if I call other than another T-Mobile phone. I've tried calling AT&T U-Verse VoIP, Verizon and AT&T POTS lines. All display only CIty, State. Calling T-Mobile phones displays my first and last name as I would want/expect.
    Using this tool:
    https://apeiron.io/cnam
    I can see this line has City, State the other seven show First, Last Name.
    I've called T-Mobile support and they say their system shows the caller ID info was updated. If I use My T-Mobile (App or Web Site) Caller ID does get updated if I change it but only T-Mobile phones see the correct First, Last Name displayed. Everyone else gets City, State.
    It's as if the CNAM database isn't getting updated but only for this one particular line my other 7 lines are fine.
    I don't claim to understand all the nuances of Caller ID but I would like to get T-Mobile to act on this inconsistency.
    Any suggestions on how to proceed would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    James

      The Magenta Max looks like a plausible replacement for my ED1500.

    I moved my 4 line ED1500 over a year ago to Magenta. Later I upgraded to MAX for the full function Scam Shield and larger Netflix subsidy. I get my iPhones direct from Apple so loosing the purchased phone subsidy wasn’t a big deal. Service here in Chitown is every bit as good as it was on Sprint IMO. The only thing I miss is the way Sprint handled Apple Watch service activation and deactivation. On Sprint it was fully automatic through the Web site. Not so with T-Mobile. Deactivating an Apple Watch requires calling and dealing with support/retentions.
