T-Mobile to share customers' data with advertisers unless they opt out

I've had good results with Ting since 2016, and their telephone and chat customer service in particular has been excellent, but Dish recently bought them to rebrand as "Dish Mobile" and I don't know how that's going to play out.

Their staff on Reddit are denying this applies to them.

I assume by "this" you mean the latest Tmo privacy abuse, and I wouldn't expect it to apply to Ting. They're a Tmo MVNO, but all that means is that they resell Tmo's wireless backhaul; they are under no obligation to otherwise treat their customers the way Tmo does, and in my experience, they don't.

Ting's privacy policy says this about it, and has done since I've been a customer:

"We do not sell or share your information with any third-parties so they can market to you."
