I believe I have seen other people posting about this, when I try to send .win links to people that have T-Mobile it simply gets black holed. They never receive the message, and I never get a response saying there was an issue.

Also take screen shots and have evidence
Yep. It's blatantly against federal law for telecommunications companies to censor speech.
Bad act by T-Mobile
Like ashit pie cares
I have TMobile. Been sending links all day with no issue.
Make sure you send it as a txt and not as an iMessage on an iPhone or whatever the equivalent is on an android device.
Same here. Our company phones are all T-Mobile, and I send .win links to coworkers all the time.
results?
RESULTS?
HO-LEE-FUK
WI TU LO
A while back tech companies realized that they could get away with anything if they implemented it via partial rollouts and temporarily walked back anything that anyone called them out on too loudly as a "bug".
Exhibit A.

Is this a BTFO or sharing with a like mind? If a BTFO, I wouldnt be surprised as to why they're quiet.
It was to my brother, sharing with a like mind
can you give a screenshot from the other side of the conversation and put them next to each other? That would be clear proof.
Works for me.
CAN CONFIRM. When sending with T-Mobile as a TXT message on an iPhone, I can send TDW links, but cannot receive them as TXTs. When sending them as iMessage between Apple devices, they send and receive fine (because it's not through T-Mobile, it's encrypted and through Apple) I AM PISSED!
Worked on my end....wife and I both have t-mobile and text went though.
I'm all about calling out shills and censors, but let's keep it real and stick to facts.
Are you sure you're sending it as a txt and not as something like an iMessage between Apple devices?
Yes, I'm on android, she's on apple.
metro/tmobile does the samething with my ecommerce site. fucking frustrating.
So basically T-Mobile is pulling a Pinterest. They put everything they don’t like into their spam blacklist. Pinterest was caught blacklisting pro-life content the same way.
Oh wow. Just tested it with Google voice and tmobile. It's true. GV gets it fine. Nothing. Win shows up to tmobile.
I usually just send screen shots
Me and my friends are old tmobile customers. We have trouble texting everything. Sometimes it blasts 5 or more copies while to the sender it says failed, sonetimes it never goes through. This is all kinds of messages just to say hey.
Unbelievable that T-Mobile will delete your messages!
I texted my wife, we both have tmobile. It worked just fine for us.
I have had SmartComm do this with emails. They never make it to the recipient and no message is returned. I haven't tried with the new TD, though I could test it
not true. I just sent a few links - they all went through.
Testing now.
In have T-Mobile, and am always sending .win looks to my family, who also has T-Mobile. Have never had an issue.
Related to this, can anyone successfully sign up for the official trump app???
I have ATT and they're not sending me the text-verification code required to create an account..
ALSO, the official trump site does NOT allow me to join their email list...
Can anyone confirm either of these?
I don't think iMessage goes over T-Mobile's texting service. It goes over data which is different.
Yep
No fucking way! That’s why, this is happening!! I have sent several
Sprint and TMobile merged fyi
Happened to me all morning on the 17th!
I have no problem sending .win texts.
I'm curious- those of you that can't send .win texts - do you all have iPhones?
What phone do you use.
I have a /coughGooglephonecough and I have no problem at all.
It’s not targeted. It’s because .win is not a top level domain and they would get it caught in their spam algorithms. More reason to get an Apple device for iMessage capability
Technically it is a TLD.
