T-Mobile these days is a gift that keeps on giving, and that too of the toxic, malignant kind, and not the cutesy ones you'd want for your birthdays.
First, the carrier foisted its T-Life app on its customer base, and now it wants to populate the app with "richer account profiles," presumably in a bid to serve you targeted ads.
T-Mobile says that it's "expanding personalization through richer account profiles and interest-based preferences [within the T-Life app]"
T-Mobile has just published an official blog post to declare that its T-Life app is "evolving beyond account management and becoming the primary home for our member experience."
As a part of its efforts to revamp the T-Life app to enable more "human experiences," T-Mobile has disclosed that it plans to expand "personalization through richer account profiles and interest-based preferences."
While the carrier is positioning this measure as a gambit to "surface benefits and experiences tailored to each customer," the revamp will likely also be used to show more personalized and tailored ads in what might eventually become a lucrative monetization layer.
After all, no corporation invests resources in a revamp out of the goodness of its heart. And T-Mobile's proverbial heart has taken a decidedly mercantile turn of late.
For instance, it has just terminated its promo-type $800-per-line cellphone subsidy for existing customers, and has axed nearly all of the legacy and grandfathered plans, bumping up their users to newer plans that entail an average price hike of around $4 per line.
