T-Mobile's strange glitch is locking some customers out of this basic account feature
Every now and then, a strange issue pops up with one of the major US mobile carriers, and this time, T-Mobile is in the spotlight. It looks like the Un-carrier is mistakenly treating some of its customers as business users.
A number of frustrated users have taken to the internet, saying that T-Mobile suddenly switched their personal accounts to business accounts. The problem? They can't even view their bills anymore.
One user shared their frustration after trying multiple times to view or download their bill – on both mobile and laptop, across different browsers – only to hit a dead end every time. And honestly, being able to see your phone bill shouldn't be this complicated, right?
If you are dealing with this issue, there are a couple of things you can try to fix it. First off, the easiest fix could be uninstalling and reinstalling the T-Mobile app (T-Life) on your phone. If that doesn't do the trick, you can try downloading your bill in PDF form through the app by following these steps:

Been a customer for 16 years. Suddenly since the last 6 months my account thinks I'm a business account and I'm no longer able to view the bill. Has anyone seen this issue? I call the help desk every month and they are utterly useless. They say it will be resolved "with 24 hours" and it never is.

The reason T-Mobile is suddenly switching some personal accounts to business ones is still unclear, but it is probably a bug the company needs to fix behind the scenes. And this isn't a new issue either – it's been around for a while, and customer support doesn't seem to have a solution.
This has been a known issue for a while now, they just haven't fixed it yet. It sucks but it happens a lot. You can reach out to T- Force but they will tell you the same thing.
