How long will T-Mobile let you go without paying your bill?
Your account can be less than 30 days past the due date to initiate a payment arrangement but if it's 31+ days past due, you may be required to pay a portion of your past due balance.
What happens if you don't pay off your T-Mobile phone?
Your mobile provider could cut your phone off so you're unable to make or receive calls. If you don't take steps to deal with the debt, your account will default and the contract will be cancelled. The mobile provider can then take action to recover the outstanding bill, following the normal debt collection process.
What happens when T-Mobile cancels your account?
If there is an active line on your account, any Equipment Installment Plan (EIP) device payments on a cancelled line will continue to bill as usual. If the entire account is closed, all remaining EIP remaining balances will be charged in full on your final bill.
What does it mean when my phone is suspended?
Suspending service means your phone will no longer connect to your carrier's network, and you cannot make any calls or send texts. It's not a permanent solution as most carriers limit the length of suspension to a few months, after which service resumes automatically and you're back to being charged your full rate.
