24 May 2022
A change made on T-Mobile’s back end was to blame, but the issue has been resolved.

                                        My T-Mobile guy said I should upgrade. No I shouldn't. After that, he tried to help by following instructions. It did not help. I have followed the instructions several times. It has not helped. This article says its fixed. It is not. I have turned off my phone several times. When will this be working? This has gone on far too long. I'm in the middle of a big project at work, LG, FIX this, please.
