**** DONE ****
I dumped T-Mobile thanks to
@14Accent Before T Mobile I have used MVNOs for well over a decade. Mostly Straight Talk and then onto RedPocket and only reason at the time 2 years ago to TMobile was a specail
You would have to read my previous posts in this thread and many other threads regarding Cell Service.
First I did my line, then my wife's line. Since the TMobile account was in my name I should have done her line first as when I went back to sign in, it no longer recognized my phone number as it was transferred to Verizon (US MOBILE)
Anyway, long story short, I did my line first and was pretty simple once you understood the system. Never needed to talk to anyone, signed up with US Mobile and got Transfer Pin from my T Mobile online account. I am now on Verizons network because I wanted to try Verizon, never in my life of cell phones did I ever use Verizon and that goes back to around 2001/2002
With that said, I still one day might go back to GSM. Im not really noticing any benefit in our sort of rural coastal area with Verizon but haven't left the house today *LOL*
Then I did my wife's line but since I lost access to my online TMobile account (sort of, it still worked but was having issues) we had to call TMobile for a Transfer Pin. No big deal, Amazing how the process has improved.
Bottom line is I used US Mobile E-sim and everything was done in a short time, once that is done you go into apple cell settings, make the US Mobile (labeled as Verizon) your primary and delete your Tmobile E-sim. I would be very careful if using e-sims that you confirm your phone is working with the new service before deleting the old one. Meaning make sure your number was ported in case you messed up you dont want to lose your existing number.
The process was pretty straight forward, better then years back as I have for the last over 10 years set up my own phones. Except for 2 years with T Mobile since they sent me the phones. I was impressed that TMobile automatically unlocked my phone when my arrangement was done with them, but even then they gave instructions and simple to do online to check and do it if they didnt.
Also was equally impressed with getting a transfer pin to cancel TMobile and go to US Mobile. Both on line for mine and on the phone for my wife. Just enter the transfer pin on US MOBILE SITE and wait a few minutes.
It feels empowering. TMobile is no longer the "uncarrier" They sent out a rate increase to me yesterday and today I cancelled and saving $47 a month. Sweet deal. Also in the last year they stopped giving a bill credit if you enabled autopay with a credit card. They forced your to change to a debit card. They lost me as a customer forever but doesnt matter to them. The profit increase will be huge. Wish I didnt sell my stock holdings in them *LOL*
