Well yeah I was pretty much saying that you can request but it's not a guarantee removal. So no hidden secrets here sorry about that.
Unfortunately that is not an available feature at the moment. However, that option may be added in the future. Keep an eye out for that every time you update the DIGITS app.
You may request to remove this feature through T-Mobile Customer Care (1-800-937-8997 or 611 from T-Mobile phone). It may take 5-7 days to take effect if approved.
T-Mobile has representatives available 24 hours a day through the chat option on the T-Mobile app for iOS and for PC.
I've experienced this issue before. Normally it requires a trouble ticket to be filed with a technical support representative over the phone. If you escalate this to the right person it will be resolved. Unfortunately I've only seen it successfully done over the phone, specifically with the Technical Support department. I hope this helps.
I'm actually experiencing the same exact issue right now. I spoke to a couple of representatives over chat about it. Apparently there's an issue right now with the Profile Settings on My T-Mobile which is impacting this. I hope they get it resolved quickly as I have many lines on my account and I rely on that nickname setting to tell numbers apart. I will be following up with them in the next 5-7 days to see if there is any update. I hope this helped.
You simply need to provide her with the T-Mobile Account Number which can be found on any retail store receipt or billing statement, as well as your Account PIN. If you did not set one it is defaulted to the last 4 of your social security number. With that she will be able to take her number to another carrier. Be advised you must not cancel the line it will be done for you by the new service provider.
Just a heads up, you must be using a T-Mobile SIM card in order for the T-Mobile APN settings to work properly. Also be advised that any unlocked non T-Mobile device is not 100% guaranteed to work. Below is the APN setting for T-Mobile.fast.t-mobile.com
