T-Mobile eSIM is an app that lets Apple iPhones with dual SIM support activate new T-Mobile prepaid service.

 

No trekking to a store or juggling two different physical SIM cards – adding a line is done from the app, wherever you are.

 

 

 

About the app

The eSIM app was built for travelers coming to the U.S., existing T-Mobile customers who want a secondary pre-paid line, and anyone who wants to take the Un-carrier out for a test drive to try out America’s fastest 4G LTE network.

 

  • The app can only activate a T-Mobile prepaid line.
  • For postpaid accounts, check out T-Mobile eSIM.
  • Only available for Apple iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, or iPhone XR running iOS 12.1.1 or later.
  • The app requires:
    • You have a data connection, through either Wi-Fi or Cellular.
    • You either purchased the iPhone from T-Mobile, or else you must first SIM unlock it. (Contact the original provider if you need help.)
  • There are no fees to activate an iPhone with an eSIM.
  • To activate your iPhone eSIM on another wireless provider or manage eSIM settings, see eSIM settings: Apple iPhone on iOS 12.

Anonymous callers

The FCC mandates that mobile carriers allow callers the ability to block their caller ID information and place anonymous calls. T-Mobile is obligated to honor the privacy of the caller in these circumstances. T-Mobile can't block anonymous calls or override the privacy choice of the caller, but you may choose not to accept them. To make an anonymous call yourself, dial *67 before dialing the number you are calling.

 

For more information about privacy and security, please see our Privacy Center.

 

Caller Verified enhancement (STIR/SHAKEN)

  • New FCC standards of STIR (Secure Telephony Identity Revisited) and SHAKEN (Secure Handling of Asserted information using toKENs) have been adapted to help fight scam callers industry-wide. T-Mobile’s implementation of these standards is known as “Caller Verified.”
  • As of January 7, 2019 T-Mobile was first to market for calls between customers on our network with Caller Verified Enhancement, a new technology aimed at reducing spoofed calls to customers.
    • If you have a Caller Verified enabled device, you will see "Caller Verified" on the dialer when you receive a call that has been verified as authentic, not spoofed.
    • Caller Verified has expanded to include interoperable partners.

      T-Mobile to T-MobileJanuary 7, 2019
  • Spoofed calls occur when a scammer temporarily hijacks a number to match the area code and prefix of the person's phone number being targeted. SHAKEN/STIR technology lets consumers know that an incoming call is really coming from the number listed on the caller ID display – not a spoofed robocall or scammer.

Data Stash

$
0
0

Data Stash is only available for select plans that were previously offered, such as Simple Choice, and lets you roll forward your unused 4G LTE data – up to 20 GB worth in most cases – into the next month at no additional cost.

 

 

How Data Stash works

  • Every month, any left-over high-speed data is automatically placed into your Data Stash (up to a limit of 20 GB for most customers).
  • Once you use up your included plan high-speed data, you'll automatically use your oldest stashed data first.
  • You'll receive a text message letting you know how much Data Stash is available.
  • Once that is used up, you still have Internet access at a reduced speed.

 

Traveling in Canada and Mexico

If you're traveling in Mexico and Canada, you won't be able to use your Data Stash. However you can still accrue Data Stash from your unused data.

 

No overages

You'll never be charged overages for going over your data bucket. The next time there’s a month when you have unused high-speed data, that data will roll into the next month and into your Data Stash.

 

Eligibility

  • Data Stash is eligible to Simple Choice, Simple Choice with No Credit Check, or Simple Choice Prepaid (with 6 GB or 10 GB of 4G LTE data or more).
  • Data Stash is available and automatically active on each line of an eligible plan.
  • Unlimited data plans are not eligible for Data Stash since the plan is already unlimited.

 

Check Data Stash balance & usage

  • Check via text messages: If you use up your allotment of data, you'll automatically start using your stashed data and receive a text messaging letting you know how much Data Stash data is available.
  • To see how much data you've been using, you can check your usage.
  • If you want to know exactly how much data you have stashed, you can contact T-Mobile Customer Service to check your balance.

 

Need more data?

  • Stop worrying about data limits and make the switch to Magenta where you'll get unlimited talk, unlimited text, and unlimited 4G LTE data on your device. Learn more about Magenta.
  • If you're looking to change the amount of data for your current plan and see the different price options, follow add or remove services.

 

Data Stash FAQs

Why does my Data Stash look different?

The information listed above covers the Data Stash experience on most eligible Simple Choice plans, so your Data Stash may be different.

  • If you’re still on an older plan and are looking for more data, you can sign up for Magenta, where you don't have to worry about how much data you're using. Learn how to change your plan.
  • Use the T-Mobile app (from a phone) to see what your plan includes or log in to My T-Mobile for more information about your plan.
What happens if I change my data amount?
  • If you change the amount of 4G LTE data on your plan within the 6 GB to 10 GB range, you won't lose any stashed data, as long as you haven't reached your cap.
  • For example, if you have 10 GB on a Simple Choice plan and you move down to 6 GB, you won't lose any stashed data. But, if you change from 6 GB to Unlimited 4G LTE on your smartphone, or from 6 GB to 2 GB, your stashed data will not be saved.

Netflix supports

Check out the Netflix Help Center or contact Netflix if you need help with:

 

  • Changing your method of payment from T-Mobile billing
  • Netflix account help (such as subscriptions, DVD support, or credit card billing questions)
  • Streaming issues when off of the T-Mobile network
  • Troubleshooting and using the Netflix app or website.

  • T-Mobile billing questions
  • Recovering your Netflix email address or if you see "No account found" when trying to log in.

Additional Netflix accounts

 

  • If you have a DVD subscription: If you have a Netflix DVD subscription and you want to keep it, you'll need to set up a new streaming membership under a different email address when opting in to Netflix On Us. This way you get your streaming membership on us and you'd continue to be billed for your DVD service. If your DVD subscription also includes a streaming subscription, you may cancel that streaming vat any time with Netflix.
  • If you simply want to start a new Netflix account: If you want to create an additional Netflix account when signing up for Netflix On Us, you'll need to use an email address that’s different from the one linked to your existing Netflix account. You'll then have two Netflix accounts: one billed directly through Netflix, and the Netflix On Us streaming account paid for by T-Mobile.

Use DIGITS on a corporate network

To use T-Mobile DIGITS on devices within a corporate network, your IT department may need to configure security policies or devices to permit DIGITS traffic. These settings are meant for IT professionals with specific knowledge of their corporate firewall, and familiarity with making changes to the firewall configuration. If you are not an IT professional, please pass this info along to your IT folks.

 

  1. Verify that all outbound proxy servers permit *.t-mobile.com.

  2. Ensure that the firewall permits the following network addresses and ports outbound to T-Mobile:

    • Destination networks
      • 66.94.0.0/19
      • 208.54.0.0/17
      • 208.54.128.0/19
    • TCP ports
      • 80
      • 443
      • 3030
      • 3478
      • 8080-8085
    • UDP ports
      • 500
      • high ports > 1024

 

If your firewall is configured as described above and your corporate network uses simple Network Address Translation, but you're still unable to use DIGITS devices behind the firewall, determine which network solution (SNAT, STUN, ICE, VoIP, or others) is appropriate for permitting UDP voice traffic (WebRTC/SIP) between the DIGITS device and T-Mobile in both directions. Stateful Network Address Translation devices aren't affected.

 

Log out
