Why do I need to update my account to a debit card or a bank account. I am under contract for 2 years and I can’t drop out of plan. I don’t know if T-Mobile can do that for contracted plan. Any thoughts ! Please share it.

You just need to update it if you're using a credit card and want to keep the autopay discount. Tmobile is requiring a debit card or bank account for the autopay discount.

The EIP contract you signed allows for T-Mobile to change the terms of anything as they deem necessary. That is also in your service agreement.
If we can’t use our credit card anymore and receive the AUTOPAY discount, why should I make it convenyent for Tmobile to receive paymeent? I’ll reverting to slow boat check by mail.😁

Better hope it arrives on time so you're account doesn't get suspended. USPS is even letting customers know not to pay bills by mail.

This is according to the US Law:
(a) General rule. Section 7502 provides that, if the requirements of that section are met, a document or payment is deemed to be filed or paid on the date of the postmark stamped on the envelope or other appropriate wrapper (envelope) in which the document or payment was mailed.

and since you are sending it in snail mail what do you think the odds are of it NOT making it due to any possible issue on their end? now would that make that payment being late their responsibility or yours?
if you said “yours” then you are correct..

The Autopay discount is just that; a discount from your contracted plan price. You can keep paying with a credit card, you just will not get the discount.
T-Mobile is forcing customers with AutoPay to choose one of the following options:

You forgot, keep it on your credit card and lose discount.
Also Tmobile is going to start charging customers $5 to pay their bill in a store.
I NEED a way to complain that my good credit rating (834) is not being used to my benefit at T-Mobile. T-Mobile wants me to link my auto pay to my bank account instead continuing to use the credit card I've been using for years. WHY? I'm not security risk, nor a financial risk for T-Mobile, but T-Mobile potentially being hacked and my bank account being exposed is a significant risk, as it is with ALL companies. As a result, I DO NOT WANT to share my bank info with T-Mobile. This is a horrible new policy!!!
Fact: The sales flyer that got me to sign up states “2 Unlimited Lines $27.50 per line with Auto Pay + Tax”
Fact: I have 10 months that state “Regular Charges $55.00” no mention regarding AutoPay
Fact: I now have my latest invoice that states “Regular Charges $65.00 that’s a 15% increase
Fact: My Price Lock document states “The Price Lock protection applies as long as the qualified plan is not removed”
Looks to me like T-Mobil has breached the contract?
I’ll wait for the class action dudes to arrive.

I cannot in good conscience give my bank account or debit card information to a company that has had 9 data breaches in the past 5 years including two so far in 2023, so I guess I’ll have to give them another $15 a month instead 😡
