Rant Upcoming Change to DIGITS
EDIT: Should have clarified, this is for DIGITS (Paired) lines.
Just got an email from T-Mobile informing me that starting 11/9 incoming SMS and MMS messages will no longer be sent to my DIGITS (Paired) with Highspeed Data line and only sent to my main line.
This kinda defeats the ENTIRE point of this service for me as what I wanted was the ability to have two phones active at the same time that could both send and receive texts and calls from one number natively (not using the awful DIGITS app).
I know this is a niche service offering, but it was really cool and let me use both an iPhone and an Android day to day, switching between the two on a whim without needing to move a sim around or be missing portions of conversations on either device (aside from the portion that I sent).
Definitely going to be cancelling my DIGITS line now, and possibly changing providers since T-Mobile provides shit coverage and it was this functionality combined with the fact I can bring basically any device to the service (using a Sony Xperia 1 VI atm) that was keeping me on it. The latter point may still be relevant and decisive, but I'm not a happy customer overall.
I'm considering calling into customer service to complain and let them know it's probably a when, not if, I stop being a customer thanks to this, but I kinda doubt anyone at Customer Service will have any idea what I'm even talking about.
EDIT2: Just got the same notice over text too.
