Holy cow. This is scary.
With T-Mobile USA, the 2nd link correctly identified my phone number.
In the 2nd link though: name, current address, email address, phone number, how long I've had the account, when it renews, who my previous carrier was, my phone hardware details and my current latitude/longitude!
This is scary that anyone can access this with just a site visit.

- petilon 9y agoI have T-Mobile prepaid and they have all my info except my first/last name. They must have collected this info when I used my credit card for refilling.
- asddddd 9y agoIs it possible that you gave them your info to disable the web content filter, which is forced on unless you give them a bunch of PII?
- petilon 9y agoNo, I don't know anything about such a filter, and did not give them any PII.
- nerdponx 9y agoEven in the US, I always thought it was illegal to use payment information for anything other than payment processing. Evidently that is not the case.
- artificial 9y agoWhat is considered cardholder data may surprise you. I’ve implemented many integrations. It’s very specific and requires the primary account number. For example if the PAN is stored separate the name and/or expiration data isn’t considered cardholder data. For the record storing this information would be folly - can’t lose what you don’t have. Let the payment processor assume the responsibility by storing and handling that if needed.

- kevin_thibedeau 9y agoI have T-mobile prepaid and my caller ID info pops up as someone else's name. I've called to complain but they claim it's not possible to fix this for prepaid plans. I'm sure it's a massive E911 violation but, you know, computers are hard.
