Again?!
Let me guess, they are going to get away without paying customers anything because of a arbitration clause?
When are we going to ban arbitration agreements? There only purpose is to usurp consumer and employee rights.

This kinda falls on deaf ears at this point. Considering all data has already been leaked for the last 10 years

Call me stupid but i really feel tmobile is hella shady. They’ve been breached more than ever. Comparing this to hella scam calls. Those bar actors (scam callers) probably need new numbers. Idk but its hella sketchy

T-Mobile said a “bad actor” accessed personal data from 37 million current customers in a November data breach.

It’s time to admit it. It was me. I am the one who hacked T-Mobile.

This has been a recurring theme for decades. Do they not have everyone's personal information yet?

Your username is amazing.

Interesting. Thanks. I cancelled my service and switched to Mint because they refused to give me $100 bill credit for the breach. I don't think I was being unreasonable.
Mint is much cheaper and literally using the same network.

"AFTER T-Mobile (TMUS) learned about the data breach, the company said it hired an EXTERNAL cybersecurity team to investigate." 🤔

I actually suffered financial damages from my SSN and ID being used, so I'm not setting for anything less then 100% recovery of financial damages

That's terrible, I wish you luck. I guess I'm lucky that my credit isn't good enough to get anything substantial with it

They are an horrible company. Once I got 5-6 messages from them at the same time about being charged for some reason.
I called them and they had absolutaley no idea that happened. With tmobile representetive on the call, I called my bank and they actually confirmed that I was charged more than once at the same time. I had to dispute it via my credit card since tmobile didnt know they actually charged me.
Their engineers probably fucked up something and who knows how many people were affected.

Scam calls are a problem with all carriers not just T-Mobile. They’ve been in business for over 20 years shady company my ass.

You are not entitled to $100 bill credit. You are entitled to what the lawsuit grants you. Great username name by the way 😊.

It's really hard to find a great alternative because T-Mobile offers international data roaming without additional charges.
Other companies require that you buy day passes or simply don't offer it at all.

It’s paid for though I am paying 100 a month
RoboNyaa t1_j53xirn wrote
It's paid for, but imagine paying $0.20 per megabyte, or $10/day in additional charges

not likely, no one ever "recovers" from Identity theft, they just reach a point where they might be able to have some normal life with a bank account.

Ive been trying to get arbitrations removed, I contacted my senators but doesn’t seem like anyone cares. I’m sick of them allowing corporations to screw consumers when we make their businesses run.

Me too and they offer $25 because that should clear it up. I haven’t been a customer since 2006 and I keep being in their breach. All the damages I will never recover from

Not really the bank took my accounts away once I filed with the ftc and submitted docs to my own personal accounts. Now im out a bank account and out so much money when I don’t even have anything more than 1 Credit card now im on the hook for 8 for a total of $70k

Oh yeah unless you live in california they have laws you get a whole $100. If that depending on how many other people filed claims.

An internal cybersecurity team costs money. They probably just hire someone good with cyber when they need it (after a breach).

Ain't ever happen because of national ID antichrist fearmongering. The same people are fine with data brokers selling their info though.
In other countries you get digital ID and use it to setup new mobile accounts or credit card. It may be stored in ID card's chip. You can use your bank to verify your identity to third party instead of answering credit report trivia that may have incorrect info on you mixed with your relatives.
