Got a message today from t-mobile saying they are switching to online billing - so no more postal bills? Didn't even ask me.

No longer selling contract phones through phones4u for a six month period apparently having reached their target - whats that all about. Contract dispute between the two?

And had an email from them last week about recylcing phones. t-mobile now offering a service to buy old mobiles

Me thinks they are cash strapped.

  • On a personal level i think on-line billing is the way forward...

    Saving paper postage etc...good for the planet etc.

    As long as the t.mobile site allows you to download the bill ( if you want )
    then whats the problem ?

    I just was not expecting text message - I have just downloaded my latest bill today - does appear to have a cover letter mentioning change to online billing (but that bill and letter should be sent to me first to tell me of that change before a text message).

    Other thing is - I use my bills or will use them for cashback claims. Now I have a printer - just imagine if you don't and do have to make cashback claims.

    Or even worse - someone (with cashback deal) could forget the change has happened and simply do nothing and they lose their cashback.
  • OH was warned about this at least 6+ months ago and she has been reminded ever since.

    We don't have a printer though, so need to invest in one!
    This thread has me so pumped, I headbutted my dog and we both screamed.

    Is this still a free service? I want to be sure that I can get a bill for cashback purposes.

    Hope so - I texted them on the number they give on bill to say I still want paper bills.

    I dont think they have started charging for paper bills - would have said so on the bill.
