    Given T-Mobile's never-ending data breaches,

    speaking of 'never-ending data breaches', it looks like verizon has had
    its share, with more than 5200 of then in just under *one* year, from a
    total of almost 24000 incidents in that same time frame.

    <https://business.sharpusa.com/simply-smarter-blog/cybercriminals-come-o ut-swinging-5-key-findings-from-the-2022-verizon-data-breach-investigati ons-report>
    Verizon recently released its latest ³Data Breach Investigations
    Report² (DBIR) that analyzed 23,896 security incidents, of which
    5,212 were confirmed breaches*, in the timeframe from Nov 2020
    to October 2021.

    and at&t isn't immune either: <https://www.databreachtoday.com/att-reports-third-party-breach-a-6956>
    AT&T is notifying an undisclosed number of its customers that their
    personal information was compromised after three employees of a
    third-party service provider accessed customer accounts without
    authorization.
    From April 9-21, the employees of the vendor were able to view AT&T
    customers' Social Security numbers and possibly their dates of birth,
    the company says in a notification letter sent to the California
    Attorney General's office.

    few users
    will be willing to link their bank account to their T-Mobile account,

    why would they do that when they can link a credit card.

    One thing about me is my agenda is clear to always speak fact, and to understand the strange people on this child-like Apple newsgroup, like sms.

    I will agree with anyone who presents a logical assessment, where I agree with nospam on this point - so much that it's how I pay T-Mobile my bill.

    As far as I'm aware, I never received an autopay discount Steve speaks of.

    The thing about Steve is he's always running for political office, and
    since he's got a fiduciary relationship with Verizon, he has no shame.

    For _years_ Steve brazenly lied about the T-Mobile FCC coverage maps, for example, just as Steve lies about Covid and Global Warming politics.

    For Steve, no political lie is too big if it fits his agenda in Cupertino.

    I don't see any automatic payment credit on my bill either.
    Where does it say that any carrier gives you money back for autopaying?

    Fi is the only, or one of the only, T-Mobile MVNOs that offers coverage
    in areas where T-Mobile has no native network, like Alaska (on Mint, and
    other T-Mobile MVNOs there is no off-network roaming). On T-Mobile's own
    plans, you get some roaming onto smaller regional and local carriers.

    Also, T-Mobile is having an across-the-board $5 per line price increase,
    in May, by eliminating the $5 per line autopay discount if you pay with
    a credit card. Given T-Mobile's never-ending data breaches, few users
    will be willing to link their bank account to their T-Mobile account,
    plus you'd lose any accidental damage and loss coverage that many credit
    cards offer if you pay your bill with that credit card (this eliminates
    the need for the carrier's "protection plan" or for AppleCare+,
    SamsungCare+, etc.). In the T-Mobile sub-Reddit there's been a lot of subscribers saying they'll switch carriers, but the lack of 5G on Google
    Fi, for iPhones, was a concern.

    You are a badmouthing idiot and a known Troll.

    US-network-operators are of very marginal interest. This is a global
    news group about iPhones.
