When you sign up for a service, you have to pay for it. In fact, companies would love it if all their customers paid on time. This means making the payment process as smooth as possible, right? Unfortunately for T-Mobile customers, the carrier could be implementing a new rule that makes paying the bills harder.
T-Mobile’s new rule will make paying bills a pain
In the past, T-Mobile customers had different options when it came to paying the bills, but the new rule has taken away a lot of it. According to T-Mobile’s website, customers now have only one option: T-Life.
Prior to this, customers had multiple options, which included paying via in-person visits to the T-Mobile store. There was also the option of using its automated phone system, or on the phone via customer service. There was a small fee attached to this method, but for some, it might be easier.
However, the new rule basically forces T-Life onto all of the carrier’s customers. T-Mobile’s website says, “Setting up a payment arrangement for your T-Mobile account is quick and easy. Payment arrangements are not available through representatives. When calling Customer Care or going to a Retail Store, our Experts will walk you through how to use T-Life to set up or manage your payment arrangement. This will save you the $10 payment support fee.”
Other changes T-Mobile is making
This new rule is actually part of T-Mobile’s larger plan. According to a previously leaked document, the carrier is planning to make customers 100% dependent on the T-Life app. This means that if you want to add new lines, activate your account, or upgrade, you’ll have no choice but to use T-Life.
We understand T-Mobile’s desire to move to a mobile solution. In theory it is easier and more modern, but the reality is that many users have complained about the user-friendliness of T-Life. Even T-Mobile employees have complained about the app. That being said, maybe it’s something that needs to be given time.
We’re sure that if T-Life was the only way for users to handle their T-Mobile account, they’ll eventually get used to it. Or maybe that’s wishful thinking. Either way, we’ll find out eventually.
