No gaming on hotspot
Given how many of these threads there are that deal with T-Mobile restricting P2P gaming on their 5G service without acknowledging that they are doing it, it might be time for a class action lawsuit. I just got told that “Tech Support” came back with a resolution super fast to my ticket. Would you believe that they think it isn’t the network, it’s not my phone, it is my computer. LOL. They won’t even acknowledge that there is an issue. All you have to do is a simple google search of “I can’t connect to discord on Tmobile 5g hotspot” and you will find pages upon pages of hits, many of them on here, the Tmobile community website. I wish I hadn’t switched from Verizon to this...
