Maybe I shouldn’t be as pissed as I am but, for me, I like using my Apple card for autopay because I get 3% back with T-Mobile charges. What I like to do is use my CCs to max my rewards / cash back and then pay off my card each month.

Maybe I’m overreacting, but I’m not happy about this. Of course I don’t want to pay an additional $40 a month on my phone bill so yes, I’m switching autopay to a Privacy card, but F—, man.

Okay, I’m done lol

Edit 6/6/1023: So I made a new virtual card but when I add it to my T-Mobile account the site adds it and says it’s not supported for the discount. They’re going to force me to enter a physical debit card or bank account or pay an additional $40/month.

T-Mobile really has been sucking with their service strength in NY. But they’re doing very well at driving me crazy.

    Switch carriers, why support a company thats actively annoying you and has a record of breaking customers privacy with data leaks?

      I just switched to T-Mobile after getting played by both AT&T and Verizon too many times. At this point, I don’t know what I’ll do if T-Mobile tries to screw me over worse than those two did.

        Switch again. Go with whoever has the best value at the time. Don’t get sucked into brand loyalty.

        You switch to one of the dozens of MVNOs, like Mint Mobile, US Mobile, Cricket, etc etc.

      Yeah, I switched away from T-Mobile after I saw that my nearly $600 a month phone bill was less than $200 with AT&T.

        How is that even possible? I pay €27 for unlimited calls and texts, plus 10 GB of data every day. In The Netherlands. You guys are getting scammed I feel.

          To be fair, I have 4 accounts (one for each family member). It’s still not as nicely priced as the Netherlands.

            That makes sense then, not as bad as I thought. And we live in a tiny country, so the mobile providers need to maintain a lot less infrastructure.

          $70 is typical for that, except it’s 30GB of data for the month before they reduce you to around 25kB/s.

      Yeah, I hear ya. To be honest, I’ve had AT&T, T-Mobile, then went to Verizon for a year, then back to T-Mobile in the span of about five years (I had AT&T, since they were Cingular before the switch to T-Mobile the first time). Looks like the three choices we have aren’t the greatest in the world…
