Thank you.  While I was in there I updated all the marketing

The settings are all buried quite deep.  I can see people never knowing
or noticing them.

Hi badgolferman,

Thanks for responding so that everyone knows more information than I did.

I knew you might be interested as both you and I received free phones from
T-Mobile way back in spring of 2021 (where since then we both received new
iPhones from T-mobile, although I'm still on the 3 Androids - actually 5).

I don't have the app, for whatever reason, likely because I debloat on
Android, but I have to check the iPhone which one of my kids have since
they're still on my plan even though they're married with kids, given I
didn't want to change the grandfathered price and terms as they were.

Thanks for letting us all know we have to change the settings, line by
line, which is obnoxious (and they know that when they designed the GUI).

Did you change the settings on the T-Mobile T-Life app or in the web page?
I'm presuming you changed the settings on the app itself on the iPhone.

Thanks for responding though, as the whole goal is to help everyone we can.
