Can you get compensation?
After an outage a few years ago, T-Mobile offered credit to affected customers who requested it, according to consumers on Reddit.
However, it’s not guaranteed so you’ll need to get in touch and ask.
To improve your chances, it’s worth building a case of how you’ve been affected.
In August, T-Mobile admitted more than 40million customers were affected by a data breach that stole Social Security numbers.
It came after hackers claimed they had names and Social Security numbers of 100million customers.
