Yes, it's true! Now that T-Mobile and BlackBerry have repaired their business relationship, T-Mobile has kicked off a bit of a campaign, letting BlackBerry customers know they're welcome to bring their BlackBerry smartphones to the uncarrier. Of course, there are some requirements such as the fact you need to purchase a qualifying plan, pick up a T-Mobile SIM and have a compatible unlocked BlackBerry, but those are all pretty standard things when bringing your own device to a carrier. In any case, it's nice to see this coming from T-Mobile. Now all they need to do to win some BlackBerry users love is push out some more updates with WiFi calling.

T-Mobile wants you to bring your BlackBerry to their network
I have an unlocked Q10 bought from Amazon I'm using a T Mobile sim card. I'm on 10.2 my husband subscribes to AT&T if I reset my Q 10 with his sim card installed and got 10.3 would it revert when I put my sim card in? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm not technical enough to side load things. Thank You in advance

Good. I like T... Mobile

I don't quite get this! While I'm happy for tmo support you can put any sim into a BlackBerry 10 smartphone so you have always been able to use tmo sims in an unlocked BlackBerry and for updates use Wi fi with the sim removed! That said I'm glad tmo and BlackBerry are buddies again.
My lubbly jubbly Z10. Shine on you crazy BlackBerry
No incentive. Just a demand.

And when will TMobile update the Z10s in their network ??

If you like T-Mobile service, check out Ting - it's a reseller running on the T-Mo infrastructure. I switched, got *exactly* the same coverage and service, and cut my monthly bill by a little more than 50%
It's an a la carte tiered service - the monthly bill varies depending on voice/text/data usage and is a great deal for low-volume users like me.
That being said, I'm still very annoyed with T-Mo for not updating my Z10's (bought from and branded T-Mobile) OS yet; we're still stuck on 10.2.1. Until they do so, I'm not recommending T-Mo since their existing-customer support seems to be lacking. And yes, I know how to sideload to 10.3.2, but I depend on WiFi Calling at home.
The woman behind the counter at my local T-M store snickered at my Q10 and held it like I just spit on it. Not a big deal, but not great customer service either.
Picked up a BB PP SE a few weeks ago. Signed up to try T-Mobile service using their no credit check plan and paid my $50 deposit. Seems to be working well although I have not driven outside the metro area. I've got 30-days to test the BB PP SE out and then make a final decision.
Was very impressed on my recent trip to Portland, OR. Stayed at the Downtown Marriott and they wanted to charge $9.95 per day for Wi-Fi. I turned on the BB Hot spot and ran my laptop off the Hot Spot and it rocked. Very nice indeed.
T-mobile never kicked off BlackBerry users from its network, untill last December I still used my BlackBerry with them but when I moved to my apartment I wouldn't have a signal and since they didnt make WiFi calling available I changed to cricket

I gave up on T-Mobile updating my Q10 to the latest OS. Bought myself the Classic straight from BlackBerry. T-Mobile can suck it. They only take care of their iPhone and top end Android users. Will never buy a phone from T-Mobile ever again.
Posted via CB10
After being with Sprint for about 10 years, I finally got fed up with waiting for them to offer the Z10, so I bought one and moved my service over to T-Mobile. I have since upgraded to a Z30. While I am glad to be rid of Sprint, my enthusiasm for T-Mobile is not very high. I am tired of being in the middle of a conversation and my call gets dropped. Then I get a message saying the network is not available or some nonsense like that. Then on other occasions, I get an error message when I try to make calls saying something along the lines that the network is not available. I loathe AT&T like the plague, but I have thought about trying them out if something does not improve. I live in a major metropolitan area, not the sticks. The one thing on their side that has kept me from bolting is the price I pay for unlimited everything.
Good Stuff

Their plans are nothing to write home about. "Starting at $50 for unlimited talk and text and up to 1GB of data..." I pay less than that on a T-Mobile MVNO and get 3GB of 4G LTE.
But what about the WiFi calling and txt?!?!??!
Posted via CB10
Now you want to back-track after you lost so many BB users? Too late with me Tmo...you fscked that all up when you stopped offering Blackberry phones and left my Q10 high and dry on BBOS updates.
Before T-Mobile even thinks about this step; they first need to do the right thing by their BlackBerry Z10 owners and release a long overdue OS update to this phone. T-Mobile Z10 owners are still running off of OS 10.2.1 and this is thoroughly ridiculous! T-Mobile has screwed over their BlackBerry Z10 owners and they need to rectify this wrong post haste!

I hope with deal....Tmobile pushes WiFi calling on all BlackBerry Devices. I'm still here waiting on my fabulous Passport.
T-Mobile USA Passport Unlocked
I've been with T-Mo for 12 years, and they have had their ups and downs, but nothing major for me to step away given the good data stream and value I get. I currently have 4 lines, 2 of them with unlimited data and two with 3 gigs, of which I pay $110 all in excluding ins ($3/phone), taxes (approx another 18% for taxes) and hardware finance charges. No carrier can even come near that, and I can get a new phone whenever I want so long as I pay the sales tax on its full value.
As to the announcement of T-Mo now accepting unlocked BlackBerry phones with T-Mo Sims, as of today, 8/27/15, T-Mo states they have no knowledge or announcement of such information. I've called 3 times since this post was released and nothing yet? Is the post 'bogus' or misleading information?? You then put a link to the T-MObile site, yet I have searched up and down and again no info??
Can someone at Crackberry confirm this information? Otherwise, it is a completely incorrect and false article.
Posted via CB10
Click on "there are some requirements..."
I brought my Leap and Q 10 to them
Posted via CB10
Meh.
I just ported OUT of T-Mobile.
Why? Because they still play games with some of their grandfathered plans (which I was on) -- specifically, they wouldn't stop blocking tethering, and wanted me to move to a "new" plan which was both more expensive and included less data. No, my grandfathered plan wasn't an unlimited one either; it had a 5Gb data bucket.
And by the way it wasn't a SMALL increase in cost either, it was a HUGE one to keep the 5Gb bucket. But even with a 3Gb bucket instead of 5 (a pretty major downgrade) they wanted 30% more money, and it was 55% more to keep the 5Gb bucket.
Tech should get cheaper over time, not more expensive -- and certainly not 55% more expensive. If I'm going to deal with "no tethering" then I'll go to an MVNO (e.g. Straight Talk) and get the better coverage with the AT&T SIM -- so that's exactly what I did.
T-Mobile is quite competitive if you have a family plan, but they utterly fail for individuals. Seriously folks -- 4 lines w/10Gb for $30 each is a good deal, but a 5Gb plan for $70 as an individual (half the data!) is more than double the price on a per-line basis for half the service. This sort of nonsense is flatly extortionate in comparison, and obviously my loyalty to the company, going back to when I was a Voicestream customer (!), was worth nothing to them.
Thus, I'm no longer their customer. Legere has good bluster but as they say in Texas, "all hat no cattle."
Thanks Karl, I am now going have to sign up with AT&T & NSA.. the carrier that really listens to you!
I think you're a bit nuts if you think T-Mobile doesn't cooperate exactly as fully and easily as AT&T does and did..... Let me know when one of these firms CEOs make a legally-actionable statement on the matter (that is, if they're lying I can sue their pants off) and I'll be impressed. I used to run an ISP quite a long time ago and even then there was always an extra circuit or two coming out of the cages of the majors... I'm sure you can figure out where it was going.
Absolutely correct to the WIFI calling. It is the one thing that keeps me tied to this darn Samsung Galaxy S6. I hate it!!
WiFi calling for Z30???? :)

So will my q5 run on 4glte?
Posted via CB10
If you have a SQR100-1, yes.
Why doesn't Tmobile support all BlackBerry phones?
Posted via CB10
Depends on your definition of 'support.' The SQR100-1 model of the Q5 is the only one that will get LTE on TMO because it's the only one that has LTE bands TMO uses. The SQR100-2 is the European model and the SQR100-3 is the non-LTE model.
The beauty of GSM/UMTS/LTE carriers is that you don't need the carrier to sell these phones--you can bring your own and as long as your phone has the right bands, it will fly.
But if by 'support' you meant why don't they sell all BB phones--well, that's their choice. Given the way carrier phone sales work, they have a right to decide which phones they want to buy to then sell to the customers.
Thanks that was an informative answer. Yes I meant LTE support. Howbout the Passport which model works best on tmobile USA?
Posted via CB10
All of them.
My older Q10 also had 4GLTE support on TMO.

Generally good in metropolitan areas, pretty bad outside. Mediocre on routes connecting them.
Supposed to get much better by EOY 2015 when they'll convert most of their 2G sites to LTE.
Thanks sir
Posted via CB10
I had LTE turned off on my Passport. Didn't see this 4g upgrade. Enabled LTE and now I am seeing a ton of LTE in rural areas. There is no HSPA+ on many of the newly upgraded towers so it is back to EDGE as soon as you make a call.
Posted via CB10
I'm in the UK, so this doesn't apply to me but WHY does T-mobile want Blackberry's under them? I don't get it, it's not like they will take them off you to resell or rebundle to new T-mobile customers or something? I just don't understand WHY
Posted via CB10
So this means VoLTE for the Passport?
Posted via CB10
Interesting

Without band 12 & wifi calling its useless on their network
I haven't had a phone contract in years! You people do realize there are other options nowadays right?
Posted via CB10
Does this mean Wifi Calling in my Z30 coming soon?
Posted via Z30
Lol you already know the answer to that one.
Yeah but maybe when they get it ready for the Classic they can port it. Sadly I'll probably be using something other than a BlackBerry before the Z30 supports it.
Posted via Z30
There isn't really any porting to do. The OS already supports it; TMO just needs to whitelist the devices and whitelist OSes for WFC. Which they won't do.
And you know what's crazy? The Z10 and Q10 (all BB10 phones for that matter) could have had voLTE as well. It's based on the same thing WFC is based on.
They updated their OS to 10.32 so why would anyone join them.
What T-Mobile should really do is offer the passport besides the classic and with that have it come with wireless charging and WiFi calling. If that hippie throwback can offer that kind of package people will leave Sprint and AT&T by the boat loads including myself.
Posted via the CrackBerry App for Android
The wireless charging they may not be able to, if the SQW100-3 is an exclusive to AT&T. But WiFi calling? They absolutely can.
I am glad to hear this. I hope it will woo back some old and make some new blackberry fans.
Posted via CB10
I was with tmo for many years. I recently changed to ATT. The reason why? The network. I always have calls dropped and no signal in very important places like my home and my church. If we were traveling, no GPS most of the time. No signal for calls in case we have an emergency. So,no more. It doesn't worth all the data Benefit if you can't have signal.

I have had an unlocked Blackberry on TMO for years. Not sure why they are bringing this to the spotlight. Half the people in customer service have no clue about my Z30 anyway.
My really kickazz Z30
EXACTLY! That is one of the reasons I took my passport to AT&T. At least they have some idea about the passport.
"Now all they need to do to win some BlackBerry users love is push out some more updates with WiFi calling" Yeah, right. Easier said than done.
The carrier than pretends to be the Uncarrier is the snakiest carrier of them all. They advertise BYOD, but not all Ds are created equal. WFC and voLTE are one thing, they're even controlling which radio bands should be turned on or off not on competitors' network, but their own. Oh...and conveniently it's to sell the phones in their lineup: http://www.phonenews.com/motorola-t-mobile-moto-e-lte-band-12-30715/8/
We get it, you have a hard on for T-Mobile. You hate them. Good. Now, go and read other articles. You've posted way too many comments on this one article, it's embarrassing.
Try sticking to disputing the facts, chump.
This fool wouldn't dare tussle with you in the forums, raino. Keep it up, you're a good man.
Motorola V3xx -> Nokia E63 -> Nokia N900 -> Nokia N9 -> BlackBerry Z10
I can't speak for raino personally, but I can say that is one of the most knowledgeable people around MobileNation when it comes to carrier branding/frequencies/handset compatibility. He does speak the truth in regards to TMO's latest Band 12 debacle. The TL;DR version: Motorola is rolling out their new lineup with Band 12 LTE capability (one of the few OEMs to actually do this). Simply put, "Moto E does not support VoLTE, and T-Mobile is only allowing VoLTE-capable phones to use LTE Band 12".
This does not seem very "uncarrier" to me, however, I have seen it noted that this may affect 911 services, so I will await to see what the official comment is on this. I do however know that Band 12 is needed for building penetration more so than the ubiquitous bands 2 and 4 currently in wide use.
I know I personally see the significant potential in TMO but time and time again I see squandered chances. I would absolutely love to see TMO become a rival to the likes of Verizon and AT&T with the strategies they have employed as of late, but more effort needs to be placed in areas such as these. With the upcoming (and highly anticipated) releases of the Motorola Play and Style/Pure, I would be thinking that TMO would be working with OEMs that are willing putting band 12 capable devices out there and not sticking their noses up at them keeping proprietary code standing in the way between the customer and a seamless end experience.
If people believe this is a matter of an OEM saying that they'll play ball, keep in mind that a behemoth like Google had to spend months with TMO directly testing their N6 and becoming "certified" before their phone was VoLTE certified by TMO. Motorola's Moto X Pure release is trying it's best to get away from being tied to carriers and market straight to the consumer, not become tied down to any carrier in any way.
911 access is a good point. I could buy TMO's 911 argument for the hypothetical "band 12 coverage only areas" if these same places didn't have AT&T's or some other GSM coverage network that the TMO caller could roam on to make their 911 call. How many such markets are there, where TMO only has band 12 coverage and AT&T or a local carrier (the Mosaic Telecoms, the West Central Wirelesses, etc.) doesn't have even a GSM signal to latch on for 911 calls?
Then there's also WiFi calling, voLTE's sibling (i.e. another child of IMS.) TMO could mitigate the no calling ability problem by opening up WFC to OEMs, if they don't want to open up voLTE. Open WFC wouldn't be the perfect solution, but it would help some people (of an already small subset of TMO customers) solve the problem, right?
My main issue here is that TMO has unilaterally decided that 'the needs of the few outweigh the needs of the many.' What if I--like the vast majority of TMO's customers--am in a market where there are other lower networks besides b12 LTE (that I can use to make calls) and I don't care about voLTE calling? Why am I being screwed out of LTE data on b12?
All questions I wish I had the direct answers for, to be honest.
"How many such markets are there, where TMO only has band 12 coverage and AT&T or a local carrier (the Mosaic Telecoms, the West Central Wirelesses, etc.) doesn't have even a GSM signal to latch on for 911 calls?"
When you put it that way, my guess would be not many. Heck, I would hazard a guess this doesn't even exist when you think about it. I cannot recall the last time I have heard someone claim that TMO had coverage somewhere AT&T didn't, let alone claim that coverage was Band 12.
Supposing even for a moment that the 911 access >was< the tipping point for this decision by TMO, why couldn't their engineering department code some type of fallback mechanism so Band 12 would not be the connecting band for 911 calls? I am no where near well versed in this area of coding, but I imagine this would be possible to achieve. If there did exist areas where TMO exclusively used band 12 and AT&T did not have a footprint, this idea of course would not work, but again, does a place like that even exist? I am skeptical one does.
I do agree that WFC would be a great backup in the event of a no call situation. Again, this would mean opening up the code for OEMs to implement it as they see fit, removing TMO's control, which I think we both could agree is not happening anytime soon. I like Motorola's stance on trying to get away from carriers in their latest offerings (my friend, go look at the LTE bands in the upcoming Moto X Pure release [B1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 13, 17, 25, 26, 38, 41] - a dream come true for those looking to use it on any carrier) but this is going to be a tall order with TMO unfortunately.
As for your last paragraph, raino, that is one I really scratch my head about. Why oh why would TMO essentially put forth a 'take it or leave it' mentality in terms of voLTE? While voLTE does offer some small advantages ("clearer" call quality, faster connecting calls supposedly, etc.), why would TMO bet the farm on that and systematically neuter Band 12 LTE which would otherwise suit everyone just fine? Why would you thumb your nose at Motorola who is trying to make Band 12 LTE happen? Areas are in dire need of TMO rolling out Band 12 properly for building penetration which would finally add some legitimacy to TMO's network; so once again, why this weird stance on Band 12?
If it all comes down to the bottom line that TMO wishes to control how OEMs play in their backyard, just say so. I would respect them a lot more if that were the case. Hence why I find this BYOD advertisement as odd, considering some BB devices won't receive any of the TMO extras being offered.
The fallback mechanism for 911 calls "simple" and it already exists--drop down to a lower network for the call. It already happens, for example, on my Q10: for data I'm on LTE, and when I make a call, it drops down to '4G.' Don't get me wrong--I'm not discounting that the theoretical problem indeed does exist that if a phone does not have voLTE and no network but band 12 to latch on to, it can't make calls--but is TMO just using this as an excuse to limit customers' choices and steer them towards voLTE phones they sell (all but two of which are branded?) This could explain 'take it or leave it.' Customer buying phone through TMO=likely to sign up for EIP (or hell, they may not even want to but get put on it at the retail store against their wishes--this really happens!)=customer is more likely to stick around for the duration of the EIP=a contract without a contract.
I've used a BlackBerry on T-Mobiles network since I started using the red 8300. All the newest BB10 devices have all worked just fine. So this isn't anything really new. Now it's just out there.

So tmo doesn't want to support their own branded phones but you can bring in an unlocked Q10 which is one of the branded phones they sold in the pass and get 10.3.2?
You getting WFC with that?
TMO Z10,STL100-3/10.2.1.2156
So inviting all Blackberrys back but not updating the OS's to include wifi calling is a lateral move. Many may find the service unreliable and leave again. If someone brings an unlocked Z10, they'll be out of luck because TMO want even update TMO branded Z10 's
Exactly. Note how they've left off Z10 and Q10. It's like as far as TMO is concerned, they don't exist.
At this point there is basically no reason to buy a tmo BlackBerry other than the payment installments. They are just selling stock Classics which would be ok, if it had wifi calling.

AT&T is not great but at least Group Texting works:
http://forums.crackberry.com/blackberry-z10-f254/group-texting-t-mobile-...
It is the one thing that infuriates my wife about her Z10 on the TMo network to the point that she hates her phone. Any time she responds to a group text it sends an individual reply to everyone in the conversation. She has an unlocked 10.3.2 phone and there is no option anywhere to "Enable Group Conversation". The only thing that works is to make all of her text messages go through MMS (the hack suggested over 2 years ago in the article above) and then people on other phones or carriers complain about that when she is sending them just a plain text message.
Still it is encouraging to see T-Mobile going after BB customers instead of pushing them away. Maybe if enough people switch over (and don't encounter salespeople trying to persuade them to ditch their phone) and complain about this feature not being supported, T-Mobile will finally fix it.
Works fine on my unlocked Passport with 10.3.2 once that came out.
Group texting works fine for me on my SE on TMO.

T-Mobile: Give us 10.3.2 with wifi calling on the Z10,Q10 and Classic and maybe more will come.
This. One of the major draws for me to T-Mo was having WiFi calling; having 10.3.2 and it not be available is incredibly frustrating at times; having T-Mo say, "sorry - we're not going to make it available [unless maybe you buy the Classic]" is just more aggravation on top of that.
Another question is if the wifi calling will be supported on factory unlocked devices from ShopBlackBerry and Amazon. Those devices have OTA updates straight from BlackBerry.
Q10 on 10.3.2.858
sadly that wont happen. i emailed legere about it and when their executive response reached out to me, they bascially said that bb had to give them the update. so basically we are out of luck. hopefully they will support the classic and slider (if the rumors are actually true) much better...
@hawklet00--and that's BS. BB has delivered 10.3.2 to carriers. How would the executive response team then explain AT&T and Verizon Z10s and Q10s having 10.3.2?
Is Legere playing from the same carrier play as Sprint? That the same BS excuse I always got from Sprint.
Sorry playbook.
One of these days I'll get used to this work flicky thing on my Z30.
Sounds like it, but IMO the TMO situation is worse: with Sprint you guys don't have a special feature on your Q10 that would be broken if you were to update via, say, Sachesi.
I have an unlocked (former AT&T branded Z10) running on T-Mobile and I received 10.3.2 via Link. Works and runs beautifully.

@bh7171--consider yourself lucky because 1) your phone is considered AT&T branded and 2) AT&T decided to release 10.3.2.
Those people who bought their phones from TMO are the ones screwed the most. Their phones are considered TMO branded, so their OTAs come from TMO.
Gave up buying phones from Tmo. Buying unlocked much more reasonable nowadays.
Wouldn't know about that. Couldn't get Sashesi to open on my new windows 8 laptop to try.
I know when I did load 10.2 before Sprint released it I had no problems.
Also turn on our VoLTE.
