After that huge data breach T-Mo experienced, it's probably a good idea from a security standpoint.

Oh, I see what you mean. I thought the article was referring to swapping to a new device, not between devices you already have. That throws a wrench into the whole process. I guess my Note20U will have to stay wifi only in favor of my S22U.
I can see that would be a huge inconvenience for you as you have a variety of devices.

It's not clear to me -- does this mean if you simply remove the SIM from one phone and put it in another, it won't work? The article mentions that it affects users who try to swap the SIM themselves online or using the app. I've never had to access anything on the website or app to physically move my SIM from one phone to the other.

It would make more sense to me if they were talking about switching from your currently activated sim to a new previously not activated sim card.
It is a vaguely written article.

I think it's only for esim online or register a sim u could do those in your account so no longer a option but I can't see why sim from one device to another be a problem or least hope not . I have 2 T-Mobile device on esim and one with a sim.

I'm hoping swapping sims between your device is going be ok and only for trying to do online sim is what they meant

Right on! Good to know. As mentioned by P.Diddy, sounds like it's for new Sims ......

... In my defense, I didn't have my Fold opened. Now I see the "B"!! He probably changed it after his spilt from J-Lo..
