Users report login errors and frozen screens
The T-Life app, which basically handles everything tied to your T-Mobile account, seems to be acting up. According to multiple reports, users are getting a “Network Error” message when trying to open it – and even if they manage to log in, nothing really works after that.And what’s even more odd is that biometric login fails, but password login still works… sort of.
…I was trying to log into my account, I was using Biometrics and every time I do it’s a server error if I use my password I can get into the main page but it won’t let me go to home it just is it possible it doesn’t recognize when I click home.

I’m having server error also. I thought it was just because I switched devices.

Getting “Network Error” here. Can’t even SIM Swap to my new phone. I have tried both Cellular and Wi-Fi along with another device.

And then there’s the really unlucky one who got their account temporarily suspended after too many failed login attempts – even though they say they barely tried.
Just went through this and spent an hour on hold to find out my account was temporarily suspended because of too many log in attempts.. what constituted “too many” is beyond me since I tried twice at work then 2 times at home before it triggered a temp suspend call customer care notice…I’m fed up with this whole TLife bull crap, after 25 years I think I’m done with TMobile, I have spent more time on the phone with the Care Teams in the last 6 to 8 months then i did in the last 2 decades and I’ve had enough.

Why T-Life issues matter more than they should

The real problem with T-Life being down is that T-Mobile made it central to everything. You need it for purchases, plan changes, upgrades – even in-store stuff. So, when the app doesn’t work, it affects not just users but also store reps trying to help them.
And it’s about to get even more important. As we’ve reported before, T-Mobile reportedly plans to bring in new customers directly through the T-Life app, potentially cutting down on the need for store staff. That makes a stable, working app even more critical – because if this is the platform for T-Mobile’s future, it has to be rock solid.
My take on how T-Mobile should handle it
I usually try to be patient with tech – bugs happen, servers go down, and fixes take time. I get that. But patience shouldn’t replace accountability. If a user’s account gets locked out or a payment gets missed because the app failed, then T-Mobile’s support should fix it fast, not make the user feel like it’s their fault.
That goes for all carriers, really – Verizon, AT&T, whoever. We depend on these apps for more than ever now, so when they fail, it’s on the companies to take better care of their users.
We’ve reached out to T-Mobile for a comment and will update the story when we have a response.
