I believe I have solved this problem. At least, the solution I found is working, so far.I only experience this problem when I am in a group chat with iPhone users. Because Apple, being Apple, doesn’t allow non-iPhone users access to iMessage, I can only receive group chats as MMS. The solution to my problem is to open Android Messages settings, and allow automatic downloads of MMS
A helpful representative at my local T-Mobile store cleared up the mystery.Again, nobody needs a data plan to use a watch. A watch works perfectly well on WiFi for free, or tethered to your phone via Bluetooth. A watch only needs a data plan if it will use mobile data on its own. For example: You may want to leave your phone at home while you are out for run.You’ll also need a data plan if you want to take advantage of T-Mobile's discounted pricing on watches - since that's the only way to get the discount.A watch without mobile data capability is a bit less expensive and doesn't incur a monthly charge for data. Of course, this is not what T-Mobile sells, because they want you to pay them every month for mobile data. If you want a watch without mobile data capability, you’ll have to buy it from the manufacturer or a reseller.In all there are four Magenta for Wearables plans.

Here's what I've been able to piece together so far.By way of introduction: Nobody needs a data plan to use a smartwatch. A smartwatch works on WiFi for free, and it can also be tethered to your phone.You only need a data plan if you want your watch to use mobile data independently of your phone. For example, you're out for a run and you don't want to lug your monster of a phone with you.You also need a data plan if you want to take advantage of T-Mobile's discounted pricing on watches - since that's the only way to get that discount.First:The data plan(s) for watches are called "Magenta for Wearables." There is a separate data plan or plans for tablets called "Magenta for Tablets."Watches, with their much smaller screen and reduced feature set, don't require as much bandwidth as do tablets. So the essential difference between "Magenta for Wearables" and "Magenta for Tablets" is that the former is a data plan for low-bandwidth devices.Second:If your voice line is on T-Mobile, and you w
I want the actual voice message. DIGITS gave me the .mp3 file.
The voicemail is in my voice mailbox. Visual Voicemail doesn’t download messages. If you know an app that will send it to my computer instead of using DIGITS, I’d love to know about it.
And the answer is: No, it’s not possible.
FWIW, I saw the S21 5G in a T-Mobile store. From what I could see, T-Mobile added little to the phone:ScamShieldT-Mobile appT-Mobile TuesdaysT-Mobile PlayVisual Voicemail
