Did you even *think* to call T-Mobile customer care? You may not know this, but you can dial 611 from your phone *FREE OF CHARGE!* and speak to someone at T-Mobile! Pretty cool huh?

Yea i *thought* of calling 611 cause its *free* but y not ask here first *SMART ASS*

You know, you're going to get absolutely nowhere with that kind of attitude. We try to keep things civil and friendly here, and this kind of response is definitely not what we're looking for. Would you care to try again with a better approach?

No disrespect to anyone, but XxLiTtLe D 11xX didn't make snotty comments, until someone was rude to him. How someone just answers his question instead of gives him crap? He probably figured he could get better information quicker on this forum instead of having to wait on hold for customer service....
However, I do agree with aleq on keeping these threads friendly. Have a good day.

Well, if you were willing to wait for the answer it must not have been all that important, eh?

You know, it's not as though we're in any way OBLIGATED to answer questions on this forum--it's on our own time and dime and as such a politely worded request goes a long way. We aren't answer dispensing human gumball machines here... 🙄

man the T-mobile people on this site act like a bunch of asses, no wonder there company is the smallest

Like littlefuzzbear said, the easiest way for you to change this would be to call customer care and have a CSR switch it for you.
The only potential problem would be if the account has a single line under it and the billing is under someone else's name. That person would be the primary user, and with only a single line to the account, there is no way (that I know of) to have a different 'primary user' come up on the caller ID. In that case you can opt to have it come up as unavailable to avoid having it show up in their name.
If this is a family plan, or if there are multiple lines under the primary user's name, it shouldn't be a problem to have the name on the line that you are using changed.
Hope this helps . . .

Interesting . . . that makes sense. Whenever I've asked CSRs to change the user name on a single line account I've been told that there's no way to do it, hence my comment "no way that I know of." 🙂
I always figured that there should be a way to do that! It seems like a pretty straightforward request.

Actually, I have 2 lines with T-Mobile and I personally don't use either one, so I called CC and they changed BOTH lines to say 'Wireless Caller" with the phone number. You can't change it to someones name if it is a stand alone line, but you can have the name removed.

BOOOO!!!! somebody already posted this exact same thing about a week ago!!! boo on you for not searching
