Recently my wife, without any identification, went to Tmobile and was able to have my account automatically canceled and added to a new joint family account.

She went with my knowledge, but TMobile never called to confirm.

After which my phone no longer had service, and I had to install a new sim card prior.

While she did this with my knowledge, I no longer have access to make changes to the account, until she adds me to the list of authorized people, and I lost all my voice mail.

It's very disturbing that she could do this, without any sort of checks and authorization.

Also, FWIW, my wife and I do not share a last name, and she did not provide anything other than my phone number to TMobile. She was a new Tmobile customer, and I was an existing customer, albeit on a very cheap pre-paid plan.
