The TSTT / Bmobile discussion thread

how to not lose your credit

that disrespectful. that real disrespectful. bmobile knows pay-so-you-go rates is robbery and they make a video telling you to disable data if you don't want to get rob.

not a word about maybe changing the unit of data to something reasonable. Not price per gigabyte, nah.

we living in dial-up days, paying $2 for 1 MEGABYTE.

no forking shame.

worse part is the youth donno what a megabyte is. they probably think is a megabit like internet speed, so these dunce youth don't know why all the money done so fast. they have to watch a "hack" on facebook

yeah that's why i had mentioned TATT need to step in and put a limit to the payg price- for a LTE and even 3G network it should not be $2/mb. maybe 20c/mb. in fact at one point it was like 40c and they put it back to $2 to make us buy the plans.

Yea that cost is insane, they probably profit so much from people who accidentally forgot or aren't aware of the data plans.

I’ve previously filed complaints to TATT about bmobile (unrelated matters). They’re (TATT) actually very proactive and follow up with TSTT and you. Was quite surprised coming from a GORTT entity. TSTT called me the day after the complaint was lodged and told me they’ll try to rectify my issue (technical related). It took them a month, but it was done. Without TATT, I would have been still waiting. As I’m Postpaid, I can’t file a complaint for this issue, but I do think that’s a good idea and hope someone on prepaid could lodge a complaint as this is crazy.

I mean come on. Even if they’re trying to force people to buy a plan, at the very least - make PAYG data rates be opt-in. Such as by having a “free plan” you enroll and un-enroll in via *123# incase someone wants to utilize these eye gouging per MB rates. So at the very least, people airtime don’t vanish after one scroll on insta accidentally.

Aren't 1-day plans still available for about $20-$30? I would just toggle off wireless data.

Apparently data is still pulled even if mobile data is off. Never happened to me on Digicel but if bmobile says that it happens then I guess it's true

I think what they’re referring to is while connected to WiFi, iPhones use cellular data to compensate for when there is a low quality wifi connection without informing the user. Idk if android does this too. But if you’re not on a plan, it’ll be like you’re using WiFi but airtime disappearing.

hoss, u may not even be aware that your plan expire till u check your credit

and even if u are and u notice the sms tstt sends the fact is on an LTE network u can use 10 whole mb in a second! 10 seconds and that's 100 mb or $200 assuming u even have that amt of money! is like we have to constantly be watching for that txt and then rush to turn off data before we decide what plan we need!

tstt should at least limit the speed when this happens so it doesn't swipe ppl money away in just a few seconds!

Yeah but when I never used to buy data my mobile data setting was off and credit still used to dissappear and when I call they say I use data but when I check in settings it would say I used 0KB of data. Ever since I started buying the add on data that issue stopped.

Digicel blocks PAYGO mobile data when your plan expires. Not sure why bmobile doesn't follow suit. If you want to enable PAYGO on Digicel you have to dial *723# I think.

So some plan with data is out of the question for you? Because that seems like it would solve your problem.

[redmanjp]

bmobile just greedy- by making an ad like that they well aware of the problem but wont fix it as it forces u to promptly buy another topup and/or buy a plan.

as for informing TATT i probably tagged them on facebook a couple times regarding this issue but someone need to make an official complaint

usually take the 2gb 30 days addon for $15 but i see they replace it with the 7 day plan for the same price- that still wont solve the problem- actually it means the money cud potentially disappear more often unless i do like in the video and probably set an alarm every week- but no i not taking the unlimited plan as that is the trap bmobile wants me to fall into- i use wifi both at home & work so i use less than 2GB per month.

[redmanjp]

anyone having trouble checking balance or topping up today? both my work & personal phones saying 'invalid MMI code'

also data not working on 3G

Same issue.

[Chimera]

bmobile has calls/data/top up problems since last night

[redmanjp]

i can still check my balance by calling *123 and listening to the voice recording but not via *123#

[aaron17]

[joshuarshah]

Mines still.down

Anyone know what's happening with Bmobile's b-online website? I tried yesterday and today and it won't load. Saw a Guardian article from 10th October that it was down. I know that's when there were problems with checking mobile balance and topping up but didn't know that it affected their b-online website too. Has it been down since 10th October?

This works.

Anyone have any word about their eSIM activation being down?
