Porting Number Nightmare

I’ve been trying to port in a number into my tmobile prepaid account for over a month.  Apparently there there is a glitch in T-Mobile’s system where my current number is stuck so it never even tries to initiate the port-in  process.  I’ve  talked to support on the phone multiple times, I’ve been told it’s been escalated to engineering, and then that engineering is still working on it.  Now I haven’t heard anything in over a week. Is there anyway to escalate this to someone who can actually fix the issue.  This is getting beyond ridiculous.

Prepaid Plan: Whitelisted vs Data

Hello. I apologize if this question has already been asked and answered--I just couldn’t find a satisfactory answer through a quick search or when calling T-Mobile customer service.I just signed up for a $10 Connect prepaid plan with 1GB of data. On the usage details (under data), I see both categories called “whitelisted” and “data” under category for the service of internet access (a copy of the usage detail is attached).Can anyone give me an easy to understand explanation of why there is two categories of “whitelisted” and “data,” both of which really reduces the overall data anyway?One site (https://techshift.net/what-is-t-mobile-whitelist-and-regular-usage/) seems to indicate that “whitelisted” “doesn’t count towards a plan’s data bucket.” I’m not sure what that really means or if it is even accurate since there aren’t many similar explanations that I could find.Any assistance would be appreciated.

Transfer / migrate from the physical sim to eSIM

Hello! I have the physical t-mobile SIM and I want to transfer phone number to my eSIM account / to convert it into eSIM. At the moment I have two tmobile accounts and numbers, is it possible to merge em? (both accounts are prepaid)I talked to the tech support - and every time I called I had a different information:1st time i was told that in 24hrs everything would be done smoothly (nothing happened so I called again)2d time I was told that T-Mobile doesn't support a feature to transfer the physical sim into the eSIM (when both numbers are tmobile numbers)before the first call I tried to reach a text support online - they also didn't resolve any questions and just said that tmobile doesnt fully support eSIM.What is the truth here? Is it really not possible? Also an extra eSIM question - if I want to use the same eSIM on a different phone, how to achieve it? Or it is impossible now to perform any kind of eSIM transfers?Thanks for understanding.

Porting number problem!

I decided to switch from straight talk to T-Mobile prepaid. I paid for a month of service and received a Sim card. I wanted to port port my number from the previous service and T-Mobile said they could. The new sim can make a call but not receive one. Can use data just fine. Cannot send or receive texts or MMS unless it's from T-Mobile. This morning I got a T-Mobile text saying there was a problem porting my number and that they'd call me, however this Sim cannot receive calls. What do I do? I called them and they said they would port it and that my issue was that the PIN I gave them was incorrect. They asked for the correct PIN, but I NEVER made a PIN or provided one. This whole thing is a mess and every call goes exactly the same.

Esim with existing t-mobile number?

Currently have a simply prepaid plan with T-mobile that I am very happy with.  It uses an old fashioned SIM card.  Looking to buy a new apple phone and use the eSim technology.  It looks like my plan is offered on eSim.  Question is - can I keep my existing number?  I know you can port an existing number but this is essentially porting from T-mobile to t-mobile.  Want to be sure before I drop $700.  Has anyone done this and if so how?

Activate new number without visiting a t-mobile store?

Hi, I live overseas and I use my prepaid T-Mobile sim card & number for when I come to work / visit the US. I have not been to the US in a few months now and it looks like my number has been deactivated. Is there any way I can get assigned a new number without having to go into a t-mobile store?
