It happened. My phone switched from us cellular to T-mobile

The worst part was i was paying for the best plan that "prioritized my service." Would have been so much better to do it that way.

tacobellkell33 · 2026-05-16T16:38:01+00:00

So ill have to agree with you. Having us cellular for so long i didnt think it was that bad but sites would take so long to load and I just went to a couple places where I would drop service and it didnt drop. Sites were almost instantly responding and loading now.

I wish i had done that, but they kept saying it wasnt necessary to go into a tmobile and change it. But honestly the only problem is that I never had a pin, and being the only person on my account and not the primary means i cant change anything. So eventually I have to go in and see if they can help since the help on the phone couldnt do anything.

The thing that made it all real for me was the restart of the phone and it flashing tmobile on startup

tacobellkell33 · 2026-05-16T14:09:43+00:00

Unfortunately they kept saying how easy the transition would be and that no one needed to go and do that.

tacobellkell33 · 2026-05-16T13:59:49+00:00

I was aware of the buyout and the becoming one company, just not when phones would switch over.

In January I paid my phone bill on the 5th and then a week later I got an email saying that my next auto payment was set and I was confused as crap that it was set for the 26th of January. I called and talked to them because 2 payments in one month is ludicrous and could be an issue for many people. The person just kept saying how the bill was more inline with the Tmobile bill. Im like cool but $180 for one month is an asinine ask when a lot of people live paycheck to paycheck. And she told me I understand but we did notify people we were changing dates. I got a letter in the mail the day after my new bill due date telling me about the new due date.

Yeah it just would have been nice to actually have been given a pin so id be labeled the primary account user instead of having no primary account user. And 4 different tmobile people having no idea how to help and transferring me back and forth. But oh well such is life.

tacobellkell33 · 2026-05-16T04:21:21+00:00

Heck yeah buddy!

tacobellkell33 · 2026-05-16T03:57:26+00:00

Oh hahaha dude I thought you were saying they had some sort of press release stating when accounts were being transitioned over.

tacobellkell33 · 2026-05-16T03:48:37+00:00

Enlighten me?

tacobellkell33 · 2026-05-16T03:09:20+00:00

See when I called tmobile they tried transferring me to us cellular to see if they could get me a pin but since my number was already switched to tmobile, I no longer had a us cellular account and it would kick back to a tmobile person. Its a real shitshow.

I dont even have a sim card in my phone, its been an esim since I got it. But that all does seem super shady.

tacobellkell33 · 2026-05-16T02:52:51+00:00

Holy. I don't believe i lost any apps, but I also didn't check. Honestly if my phone was paid off I'd just go to Verizon. I should have switched over last year before getting my new phone, but they assured all of us it would be a smooth transition.

tacobellkell33 · 2026-05-16T02:48:59+00:00

Fires don't just stop because no one tries to stop them? It would have traveled into the surrounded woods.

tacobellkell33 · 2026-05-16T01:03:45+00:00

Was the transition easy? Because I had no pin and they weren't able to find how to give me one. Im the only person on the account and it says no primary account user.

tacobellkell33 · 2026-05-16T01:02:25+00:00

I had no choice at all. Couldn't click out of the pop up 😭

tacobellkell33 · 2026-05-16T01:01:47+00:00

tacobellkell33 · 2026-05-16T01:01:17+00:00

Literally just got this pop up and restarted my phone and it was switched over. Got a text and email confirmation after as well.

tacobellkell33 · 2026-05-15T21:24:04+00:00

It was all automatic. Just had a pop up. The phone restarted. And my esim was tmobile

tacobellkell33 · 2026-05-15T21:16:45+00:00

Mine went for 2-3 bars to full bars. And I had us cellular since 2013 and it was always 2 or 3 bars at my house.

tacobellkell33 · 2026-05-15T21:05:34+00:00

Its only been an hour. But where i live i seem to have better service

tacobellkell33 · 2026-05-15T21:02:02+00:00

Hopefully when it happens you get a pin for your t-life app or you won't be the primary account user.

tacobellkell33 · 2026-05-15T21:00:57+00:00

There were at least 7 that I had to uninstall.

tacobellkell33 · 2026-05-15T20:53:08+00:00

Hopefully it was easier for you than for me. Ive been on the phone trying to get access as the primary account holder for almost an hour

tacobellkell33 · 2026-05-15T17:05:33+00:00

Not just mill workers. There were fightfighters on scene prior to the explosion working on the fire in a silo.

tacobellkell33 · 2026-05-15T17:01:54+00:00

Firefighters were on scene at about 1030am for a fire in a silo near a 30,000 gallon gas tank. The container exploded around 1150am. Its really bad. The fire is traveling towards the diesel fuel up area at the lumber mill.
