T-Mobile Releases My Account To Android Market

Tweet


How cool would it be to access all your T-Mobile account information directly from your Android phone?  No longer would you have to call customer service or wait in line at the store.  Would a mobile carrier actually allow you to view your minutes and messages used so you could avoid overages?  What about providing support for Android directly on the phone?

I wonder how many minutes...

I wonder how many minutes...

T-Mobile has done all that and more with their first Android application “My Account”.  Inside the app you will find heavily requested features such as current activity, bill summary, plan information, online payment, help guides, forums, battery info, storage info, and more.  I’m having a hard time coming up with the words to explain how awesome this application is and it’s only the first release.  If you have the G1, this is a must download.

Who would ever think that T-Mobile would become involved as an Android developer?  They continue to surprise me every couple of months.  I’ve been a T-Mobile customer for years, but I have never been happier to hand them my money.  The G1 is the most useful phone I have ever owned and is the only reason I extended my contract.

With all the useful features and information, I expect this application to become standard on all future T-Mobile Android phones.  I also think this signals T-Mobile’s long term dedication to the Android platform.  While other carriers delay their plans and twiddle their thumbs, T-Mobile continues to innovate in the mobile space.  I’m excited to see what other applications they release to the Android Market.

My Plan and Services Information

My Plan and Services Information

While most of the apps on my phone would get labeled as nerd junk, I see My Account appealing to all T-Mobile G1 customers.  Everyone can benefit by seeing their information in real time and I think it’s a new selling point over other phones.  Even if you don’t plan to utilize all the power of Android, the ability to save money from overages is yet another reason to convert.

If you have been following the Android buzz but were waiting for an excuse to jump in, this is it.  With the new low $97 price point on Amazon, you could be holding your new phone tomorrow.  Units were initially on back order, but Amazon has received another big shipment.  Place your order before they are snatched up again.

If you have downloaded and played with My Account, please share your thoughts with us.  What other features would you like to see added?

    I downloaded the app last night and I couldn’t believe it was made by T-Mobile. I thought they purposely wanted you to run out of minutes, but with the new “My Account” app they have gained my respect. The only app I’ve seen that was similar was “SelfHelp”, it was useful when it decided to work. My Account is very clean, and they even decided to put beginner tips & tricks and How-to’s. Seems like it was really well thought out. Till now I haven’t got any force closes, I give them 5 stars! Maybe they can add a feature where you can see the apps that you most and least use, but thats just me pushing it. Nice job T-Mobile!

    I downloaded My Account with very low expectation but was very surprised. It’s actually a clean, straightforward app. I agree this shows that T-Mobile is dedicated to the Android platform. I look forward to what the future will bring.

    This is an awesome app! Yeah, you can get this online or by calling T-Mobile, but this just makes life easy.

    Way to go T-Mobile!

    I’m loving this app. If it provided a way to login when on Wi-Fi it would be perfect. I’ve been using the shortcodes #msg# #bal# #min# but this is so much better.

    This is nice utility application who want to track their usage, though some of the information is available through short codes. On iPhone most of this information can be accessed through Settings. By providing MyAccount application not only providing an utility application, but also potentially can save a lot on G1 customer support.

    In three words: The Best App. This app is basically a must have for EVERY G1 user. I’m also surprised that T-Mo developed this app. It not only shows your subscribing info like minutes, texts, data etc but also your phone related info such level of battery, battery condition, storage. The app even has a HELP section. How good is that? The app is a really nice essential and I’m happy T-Mo got involved like this.

    I had to swap out for a new G1 because my first one had bad hardware and now I can’t find this in the Market when I search under any string:
    My Account
    T-Mobile
    TMobile
    T Mobile

    How do I pull this app back to my phone?

    I can’t find it either. This is a killer app. I had it before, but I cannot find it now. Searched everything. And browsed the “tools” section. Cannot find it.

    TMobile! Put this on a dedicated link on your website! This Thing Rocks and I NEED it back!!!
