Working at t-mobile: Careers | Join the Un-carrier Today

What is t mobile. Mobile Internet in Poland, mobile operators, what to choose. The cost of Internet data packages in T Mobile Poland when used in Europe

This is a real (not virtual) operator from Germany. It would be correct to say that T-Mobile is a large holding (a group of companies reporting to a single manager in the person of Deutsche Telekom) operating in the field of communications.

The brand is represented almost all over the world and is engaged not only in cellular networks, but also in wired Internet, telephony and many other specialized areas of the market. In the context of our material, it is the mobile (cellular) services of T-Mobile in Poland that are of interest.

Before proceeding directly to tariffs and packages, we recall that the virtual one, which we talked about in detail earlier, is one of the forms of providing T-Mobile services on the Polish market. Therefore, many of the services of both operators, implying work “within the network”, apply to both T-Mobile and Haya.

Where can I buy a T-Mobile Starter Pack?

Finding a starter package for this operator, as well as for any of its competitors, is easy. Cards can usually be purchased:

• Special sales offices in shopping centers.
• Representative offices of the company.
• In stores selling household appliances and primarily mobile phones.
• At dealers.
• In newsstands.
• At the post office.

Polish law requires mandatory identification of the owner of a SIM card. Without this, no T-Mobile (and other carriers) phone will work.

How to register and activate a T-Mobile SIM card?

You can register a new SIM card at any point of sale, except perhaps at newsstands. If the card was purchased there, you need to go to any of the official offices or points of sale and perform free activation
. To do this, you only need a passport or other identity card (Polish card, residence card, etc.).

You can also transfer to this operator a SIM card that previously belonged to one of the competitors. For this, T-Mobile offers bonus – 30 days free use
by its services. You can go to the operator on this page of the official website.

Now you need to activate the SIM card. In most cases, it is enough to make a call for the tariff/card to become active
.

The need to send various codes, words, numbers (for example, until recently it was necessary to send the word “SO” to the operator) is now gone.

Tariffs of mobile operator T-Mobile in Poland

Briefly recall what tariffs and packages are, and how they differ.

Tariff
– these are some conditions for using your phone / SIM card, laid down initially and permanently valid. The rate is subject to change.

Package
is a set of services that can be purchased separately. They are one-time, designed for several cycles or acting constantly. At the end of the package, you can connect any other or not connect any, continuing to use the phone according to the tariff.

For example
, 300 Mb per day of traffic are provided according to the tariff. Using it, the client can purchase a package for additional traffic. However, before connecting packages, changing tariffs, etc., you need to buy a SIM card and register it.

Tariffs are a variable phenomenon. The cost of minutes, megabytes and other parameters change quite often for marketing and other reasons. The rates below are current at the time of publication of the article. We will try to keep them up to date.

Before dialing the transition number to a particular tariff, make sure on the official website of the operator that it is valid.

PLN 25 for 30 days

This is one of the most popular tariffs, however, it is possible that the other two have appeared relatively recently.

All tariffs include service within Poland
. We will tell about the cost of services in roaming further.

PLN 25 + 5 for 30 days

The tariff is very similar to the previous one, but for PLN 5 additional you get a whole range of benefits.

Unlimited MMS has been added to the tariff, as well as unlimited video viewing on sites of a certain list. Since the next tariff implies the same services, we will describe the list of free sites in more detail below.

5 PLN for 5 days

The list of services is similar to the previous one. The main difference is that it is activated for 5 days.

Among other things, all tariffs imply the duration of accounts for 365 days.

T-Mobile promotion

The last two tariffs involve viewing free video. The following services participate in this promotion:

• Amazon Prime Video.
• Chili Cinema.
• Filmy Google Play.
• Netflix.
• Player.
• Showmax.
• TVP Sport.
• TVP Stream.
• TVP VOD.
• Vevo.
• VoD.pl.
• WP Pilot/Videostar.
• Wyborcza.pl.
• Youtube.

The playback speed depends on the quality of coverage at the viewing location.

Affordable Unlimited Communication Packages

There are three subscription options available to enhance your communication experience. You can switch to these tariffs both for old customers and when the “starter” is activated.

You need to understand:

1. The minutes, SMS and MMS parameters specified below apply both to Poland and to EU roaming equally.
2. Internet traffic specified exclusively
   for Poland (see below for roaming options).
3. The contract is concluded / extended for 24 months.

Packages can be activated at offices, points of sale or through your personal account on the website / in the mobile application. To go online, you must have an account (register on the site).

Roaming in EU countries

Despite the adoption of laws on the abolition of roaming in the European Union, operators still continue to indicate a different number of services for internal and external use.

Exact data on the cost of roaming can be found on the operator’s website. For example, this link will open prices for Ukraine. There you can also change the country to any other and see the prices.

However, two of the three above tariffs (“25 for 30” and “25+5 for 30”) already include some intra-European roaming conditions:

• 100 minutes (both incoming and outgoing minutes are taken into account).
• 50 SMS.
• 500 megabytes of traffic.

At the end of them, as well as for the “5 to 5” tariff, the following rates apply:

• 0.04 pln per minute of an outgoing call.
• 0.01 pln per minute of incoming call.
• 0.01 pln per SMS.
• 0.01 pln per MMS.
• 14.91 pln for 1 GB of internet traffic.

All these parameters are already included in the tariff plans and do not require an additional order
.

Special offer for Ukrainians

At the moment there are two packages, the activation of which will save money on calls to Ukrainian operators. Please note that the offer is interesting for calls, because. sending SMS will be equal to 1-2 minutes of the package
.

All letters in SMS are capital Latin. Writing in Cyrillic will result in an error.

How to additionally order online?

In the indicated tariffs, calls and SMS are provided without restrictions. In two of the three unlimited and MMS. Accordingly, there is no need to increase their number.

Additional packages for Internet traffic may be relevant:

These and other services can be activated both through your personal account by registering on the operator’s website, and through the automatic menu, which you need to call by pressing the combination *104#
.

How can I find out my number?

To find out if your number is activated (registered), dial *100#
– you will receive an SMS with all registration information, including phone number, current tariff, etc.

How to call the operator?

To contact technical support (“Hot line”), dial:

1. From your mobile T-Mobile: *9602.
2. From another number within Poland: 602 960 200.
3. From abroad: +48 602 960 200.

The above numbers are used for technical questions. Problems with the financial component of relations with the operator are resolved by these phones:

• Through the special website doladowania.t-mobile.pl.
• In the personal account “Mój T‑Mobile”.
• At T-Mobile sales offices.
• Buying coupons in shops, kiosks, stalls, gas stations.
• At ATMs.
• Through internet banking.
• With Bitcoin.

Of course, many methods intersect: for example, to pay through the above site, you can use a bank card, etc.

Useful codes

The operator stopped publishing various information access codes on the site, rightly believing that the personal account data is more than enough.

We will recall some old codes, but their performance is not guaranteed, and services may be paid
.

How to check the balance on T-Mobile?

The account was checked earlier using the code *101#
. The information was sent via SMS. Funds were withheld for the service according to the tariff.

How to connect to the Internet?

This question is often asked by our readers, however, modern tariffs are already sold with activated functions, incl. and internet connection. It is enough to register the card and you can use it. If there is not enough traffic, they purchase additional packages, which are described above.

Please note that Internet failure may be due not to the need for activation, but to incorrect / missing phone settings.

How can I find out the remaining Internet traffic (megabytes)?

By analogy with checking the balance, the rest of the traffic was previously checked by a special code. This is *100*860*1#
. However, it is currently recommended to check the parameters through My T-Mobile.

Conclusion

T-Mobile is one of the leading players in the mobile communications market in Poland. Having their drawbacks, the operator’s tariffs provide a lot of additional amenities. When choosing a cellular provider for yourself, be sure to compare all the available offers and connect the one that turns out to be the most interesting.

T-Mobile is one of the leading wireless carriers in Europe. As of March 2009, over 148 million people have joined the T-Mobile network. T-Mobile’s appeal to many consumers is support for the latest smartphones, cutting-edge accessories such as Samsung Gear smartphones, and reliable service and network coverage. With support for phones from other carriers and promotional offerings that offer subscription fees, T-Mobile has made it easy for people to get connected. A large selection of smartphones based on iOS and Android can be found on the website – http://tech2and.ru/

Phones available for T-Mobile

T-Mobile supports several different phones, including the Apple iPhone and many Android devices. The carrier allows new subscribers to use their old devices on the T-Mobile network whenever possible. He also unlocks his subscribers’ phones for use on other carriers upon request.

GSM network T-Mobile

Like all over the world, T-Mobile supports the GSM network. GSM phones contain SIM cards that contain relevant information for customers, and these cards are easily transferred to new phones. As a result, you can easily switch phones from T-Mobile. GSM mobile operators must allow customers to use any GSM-enabled phones, which means that any unlocked GSM phone works on the T-Mobile network. CDMA networks do not necessarily accept the use of all CDMA phones, and phone switching usually requires permission to be made in the device.

Bring Your Own Device Program

Those unfamiliar with T-Mobile can use their old phones or buy used phones to connect to the network. In these cases, they only need to purchase new SIM cards from the provider. Numerous popular devices are compatible with the T-Mobile network when using a new SIM card.

In addition to Samsung Gravity T, the Bring Your Own Device program only supports Android and iOS smartphones and other devices. From a consumer perspective, this covers most popular phones.

T-Mobile Smartphones

T-Mobile offers a variety of phones for use on its network, including the popular Apple iPhone and Samsung Galaxy S phones. The company has a wide range of compatible smartphones, and consumers can use the Bring Your Own Device program or buy new ones. or used phones for online use. With a choice between iOS and Android, smartphone users can choose the software they prefer for their T-Mobile phones.

Other smart devices

The T-Mobile network also supports the Samsung Gear family of devices. These smartwatches and gadgets allow wearers to access some of their phone’s features from their wrists. This includes making calls, sending text messages, and accessing weather reports. Various other accessories to add additional features, such as a Bluetooth headset, connect with smartphones.

Cell phone unlock

Unlocked cell phone works on different networks, including T-Mobile. Phones purchased through T-Mobile also work on other GSM networks that receive their own frequency. Because many subscribers have purchased phones at subsidized prices tied to contracts, carriers generally frown on this entirely legal practice.

T-Mobile Unlocks Phones

T-Mobile is always happy to help customers unlock their devices. This makes it easier for subscribers to sell or buy used phones and use their own phones across different carriers. Users can try to unlock T-Mobile phones themselves, but the process is very complicated and one wrong move can ruin the phone. Those interested in unlocking their T-Mobile phones should speak to a T-Mobile customer service representative.

How to buy a T-Mobile phone

Buying a T-Mobile phone and other accessories such as chargers and Bluetooth headsets is very easy. You can start your product search using the browser search bar. Just enter “T-Mobile phone” or “T-Mobile” or a similar passphrase. Then parse the necessary phone model attributes to find the product listings you want. In addition, filters are available on the results page to help you find specific phone models and accessories. In most cases, both locked and unlocked phones are presented.

Tinkoff Mobile summed up the activity of its clients abroad and in Russia from June 1 to August 31, 2018. This summer they visited 125 countries, but Turkey became the leader in terms of the number of Tinkoff Mobile subscribers registered in the networks of local operators.
.

10. Czech Republic

The users spent the longest time talking on the phone in Turkey, Italy, Bulgaria, Spain and Greece – here Tinkoff Mobile subscribers spent almost half of the total volume of minutes spoken this summer outside of Russia. At the same time, while on vacation, they equally actively made outgoing and received incoming calls. The average duration of conversations of Tinkoff Mobile clients abroad was 2.7 minutes.

Tourists most often used mobile Internet in Italy – it accounted for about 20% of all Internet traffic downloaded by Tinkoff Mobile customers. On average, this summer, each subscriber of the operator spent abroad 70 MB of mobile Internet per day. It should be noted that the average daily consumption of Internet traffic by Tinkoff Mobile customers is growing every month.

5G home internet comparison: T-Mobile vs. Verizon

Competition for 5G home internet is heating up in the US, with providers such as T-Mobile and Verizon offering big incentives to attract customers. Keep track of speeds, prices and details for each provider in our 5G home internet comparison.

Background

It’s only been about a year since Verizon and T-Mobile launched their 5G home internet services, and they’re both gaining momentum.

T-Mobile recently said its 5G home internet is available to 40 million households, and Verizon said in January that its 5G home internet is available to 20 million.

While Verizon increased its incentives in January by offering a 50% discount to existing customers, T-Mobile announced its own similar promotions in early May.

AT&T does not have 5G home internet, but does offer 4G home internet for rural customers and businesses. While it lags far behind Verizon and T-Mobile across the board, we’ll include it in the comparisons below for reference.

5G Home Internet Comparison: T-Mobile vs. Verizon

Speeds

Verizon offers the highest potential speeds for both download and upload, while T-Mobile’s service is more accessible.

In both cases, keep in mind that your average 5G speed will vary depending on your location and coverage. And yes, AT&T’s 4G home internet is awfully slow.

5G home internet T-Mobile Verizon AT&T (4G only) Download speed 33 to 182 Mbps 85 to 1000 Mbps 10 to 25 Mbps Upload speed 8 to 25 Mbps 10 to 50 Mbps up to 1 Mbps

One more detail: To access 300-1000 Mbps download speeds with Verizon, you need to select the 5G Home Plus plan.

Pricing, setup, small details

Both T-Mobile and Verizon offer very affordable rates, especially for customers who bundle their respective cell plan. This brings T-Mobile’s 5G home internet to $30/month, and Verizon’s even cheaper $25/month.

Even if you don’t use your smartphone through any of them, plans are still available from T-Mobile and Verizon for $50/month with auto-pay.

5G Home Internet Details T-Mobile Verizon AT&T Price with Cellular Plan $30/month $25-35/month $59.99/month Price without Cellular Plan $50/month $50-70 per month $69.99 per month Contract ❌ ❌ ❌ Taxes and fees included Additional data included header ❌ ❌ 350 GB Self install ✅ ✅ ❌ Installation cost ❌ ❌ Price $99 Lock 2-3 year validity ❌

AT&T offer more more expensive, but also much slower, has a data transfer limit and requires installation in 99 dollars.

Incentives

Both T-Mobile and Verizon have an enticing list of incentives to encourage customers to move away from traditional broadband providers.

Both make the transition free, covering up to $500 for early termination, have free trials, and add additional perks such as free streaming devices and streaming services.

5G Home Incentives T-Mobile Verizon AT&T Free Trial ✅ – 15 days ✅ – 30 days ❌ Up to $500 early payment ✅ ✅ ❌ Free streaming device ✅ ✅ ❌ T-Mobile Tuesday benefits ✅ ❌ ❌ Free Disney+ package up to 1 year ❌ ✅ ❌ Free Paramount+ for a year ✅ ❌ ❌

Verizon is offering its own Stream TV box for free, while T-Mobile is offering $50 to use on any streaming device, including Apple TV.

5G Home Internet Comparison Wrap-Up

As T-Mobile and Verizon work hard on an attractive 5G home Internet service, consumers benefit from affordable pricing, free trials, no contracts, and more.

With the launch of more C-band 5G coverage this year, we hope to see AT&T officially enter the 5G home internet space, bringing more choice and competition.

How to unlock a T-Mobile phone: contacting support

An unlocked smartphone is almost the same as a locked one. T-Mobile and your device manufacturer have worked together to ensure that you cannot use your device from them with another carrier until you have paid your debt to them. Once you do this, T-Mobile will be able to unlock your phone. You can then use it on any other medium that supports it. For example, after you unlock your T-Mobile phone, you can go to AT&T and sign up for a network plan without paying them for a new smartphone.

You can easily unlock your T-Mobile phone. Here’s how.

How to Unlock a T-Mobile Phone: Before We Begin

Before you try to unlock your T-Mobile phone, you will need a few things.

First you need the phone you are trying to unlock. Make sure it’s turned on and connected to T-Mobile or Wi-Fi. This is to allow the phone to communicate with T-Mobile during the unlock process. Also, make sure the T-Mobile SIM is inside your phone. Put it back on your phone if you deleted it for any reason. This card helps T-Mobile identify your account on their network.

If you plan to permanently switch to another carrier, you need a permanent unlock. Temporary releases may be requested for travel abroad. You should already know what type of unlock you need before you start the process. If travel is the reason for the unlock, please note that T-Mobile offers add-ons that will make traveling around the world with your smartphone less of a hassle.

Requirements before you can unlock your T-Mobile 9 phone0009

T-Mobile and other wireless networks will unlock your phone, but they are not required to do so unconditionally. This means that there are situations when they can refuse to unlock your device. T-Mobile’s requirements are based on the type of account you registered when you received your phone.

Regardless of the type of plan, to successfully unlock your T-Mobile phone, no one needs to report that your device is lost or stolen. Your account must also be active, with no late payments. Finally, the carrier says it will only unlock two devices per account within 12 months. These are just rules that everyone should follow.

Now for the specific rules based on plan type.

Monthly postpaid plans

If you have a monthly postpaid plan, your device should be active on T-Mobile for about 40 days. If your account is cancelled, you must also pay any pending charges.

Postpaid customers on T-Mobile typically have a payment setup plan or rent their device through Jump On-Demand. In both cases, these devices must be paid back in full. You can see how much you have left on your device in the My T-Mobile section of the company’s website. It is listed in your payment details.

Prepaid Plans

To unlock your T-Mobile phone on a prepaid plan, you need to spend more than $100 to top up the account associated with the device. This price does not include activation costs. You can bypass this requirement if you have been using the device for more than a year.

How to Unlock T-Mobile Phone: With

Unlock App Android boasts the official T-Mobile Device Unlock App. This means that any Android user can request to have their phone unlocked without contacting support. All you need is your account details. For now, this app only works for Samsung Galaxy Avant.

iPhone, Android and Windows phone users can contact T-Mobile directly to receive their unlock requests. Live chats and support calls work. Carrier phone: 1-877-746-0909. If you’re on a T-Mobile phone, just dial 611.

A T-Mobile support agent will ask you questions about your account and what type of unlock you want to perform. Again, if you want to switch from T-Mobile to AT&T or another carrier, you’ll need a permanent unlock. They will take some time to verify that your account is in good standing and that your device has not been reported as lost or stolen. They will also guide you through the process of redeeming the code on your phone.

We hope you can unlock your T-Mobile phone quickly and with minimal pain.

which mobile operator is best for you?

Buying your first phone in the US? Want to change carrier? The number of options available may seem overwhelming, but appearances can be deceiving. In fact, there are only four nationwide networks: Verizon Wireless, ATT, T-Mobile, and Sprint.

Here’s what you need to know to decide on your mobile operator.

Verizon Wireless: the largest carrier in the country

Verizon Wireless is the largest cell phone carrier in the United States. It has the most subscribers and it covers the largest area of ​​land. In many rural areas of the country, this network is your only choice.

Because of this size, Verizon Wireless tends to charge the most for their services. The company has an extensive support infrastructure, from towers to retail stores, as well as technicians and sales representatives. However, Verizon has a monopoly in some areas and knows that many customers are willing to pay more to have a better network.

Verizon – CDMA network

Therefore, you cannot change the SIM card between devices. You can only use Verizon-approved phones on your network, and you need to contact your carrier to activate your line whenever you switch devices.

If you are traveling overseas, Verizon may clear your bank account. The company currently charges $5 per day for trips to Canada or Mexico and $10 per day for other countries. This is in addition to your current monthly bill.

ATT: The country’s largest GSM network

ATT is the second largest network in terms of both subscribers and coverage. While its reach isn’t as wide as Verizon’s, the network still does a good job of serving many smaller towns and rural areas.

ATT prices are comparable to Verizon, but slightly lower. On the other hand, the carrier’s prepaid plans are very competitive compared not only to Verizon, but also to Sprint and T-Mobile.

Unlike Verizon, AT&T is a GSM network, so you won’t have to make many trips to the store unless you have a problem. Once you activate your SIM card for the first time, you can move it from one phone to another. If you have multiple phones and need to switch between them regularly, you will need a GSM operator. You can also get a prepaid SIM card in a store and activate your device at home on the same day.

Although ATT is cheaper than Verizon when traveling abroad, it is still an expensive option. The carrier offers an international package that includes more than 200 countries, but you expect an additional fee of $60 per month. This number increases if you want more data.

You can use the ATT network and save money by looking at Cricket Wireless. It is a subsidiary of ATT and offers cheaper plans without contracts.

T-Mobile: A Traveler’s Friend

T-Mobile is the third largest carrier in terms of subscribers, but its network is very fragmented. You can expect great speeds and performance in cities, but you won’t be able to make calls if you go to places where there are no interstate highways.

If you spend most of your time in urban areas, T-Mobile offers the best bang for your buck. You will most likely walk away with higher data allocation and other benefits like unlimited streaming.

Like ATT, T-Mobile is a GSM network. This means that you can freely move the SIM card from one phone to another. It’s also incredibly easy to pick up a T-Mobile prepaid SIM card at the store and get started.

T-Mobile travels internationally to over 210 countries with its current no-charge plans. On the top plan, you get unlimited 2G data and unlimited text, calls for 25 cents per minute. If you regularly leave the country, T-Mobile is the way to go. Keep phone calls to a minimum and your wallet will hardly suffer.

Want a cheaper plan? Consider MetroPCS, a subsidiary of T-Mobile, which is inexpensive.

Sprint: the best for your budget

Sprint is the fourth largest carrier. It has a fairly wide network, but you will also encounter the lowest national carrier speeds. On the other hand, Sprint sometimes does a better job of supporting smaller metropolitan areas than big cities. If you live in one of the country’s many small-to-medium cities, Sprint may well meet your needs.

Because Sprint cannot compete with network speed

This often comes out with cheaper plans and deals. So Sprint might be the cheapest way to get an unlimited data plan.

Sprint is a CDMA network, so you will need to contact your carrier when you are ready to activate your new phone. It also limits which phones you can purchase.

The unlimited plans offered here include unlimited calls and texts, as well as LTE data distribution in Canada and Mexico. In over 185 other countries, you get 2G data and unlimited text, calls are charged by the minute. Prices may vary by country. While not as nice as T-Mobile, it’s still a much better deal than Verizon Wireless and ATT.

Sprint owns brands such as Boost Mobile and Virgin Mobile. Both can get you a phone on the Sprint network for even less money.

What about other mobile networks?

You may live within range of a regional carrier such as US Cellular. It is the fifth largest carrier and serves 23 states across the country.

Most other operators are de facto Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs). They provide cell phone connectivity without the need to build and maintain their own infrastructure. Instead, they lease the operator’s nationwide network.

Project Fi by Google (our experience with Project Fi

), Ting and Republic Wireless are three popular MVNOs that use the T-Mobile and Sprint networks. There are more MVNOs that can cut your monthly bill in half

,

MVNOs are often cheaper if you’re not a big data user. On the other hand, these services do not have carrier stores, so you should be comfortable on the Internet and troubleshoot on your own.

Which mobile network is best for you?

There are many factors to consider when answering this question.

Where do you live? How often do you travel? Do you stream music and movies over mobile data? Do you buy unlocked phones?

“No carrier is the best for all purposes and in all areas. But hopefully you now have enough information to make an informed decision.

🥇 ▷ How to unlock TMobile phones (3 ways) ✅

0 5 minutes read

Unlocking a phone is usually easy for other carriers. But not if you unlock your Tmobile phone. Compared to Verizon, T-Mobile’s requirements and guidelines for unlocking are quite strict and difficult. This is mainly because you must meet many requirements before making changes.

Important information before unlocking

Always unlock your mobile phone so that you can use a different network operator’s SIM card. Therefore, it is important to consider the network operator you are using. T-Mobile works with GSM. Another carrier using GSM technology is AT&T, so after unlocking the phone, there is no problem using the AT&T SIM card.

However, this is not the same as Verizon and Sprint as they both use CDMA and not GSM. This means calls, text messages, and cellular data won’t work if you’re using 3G services. Like Verizon, you can still use 4G LTE. This is because T-Mobile Band 4 uses the same LTE spectrum as Verizon. However, the race is harder because it runs on a different LTE spectrum.

Before unlocking a Tmobile phone, it is also important to read the difference between locked and unlocked phones.
