T-Mobile is hosting the Second Annual Hacktober hackathon at UT Dallas Makerspace October 27-28, 2018. We invite fresh and seasoned developers alike to use technology to help us give customers rock star status with our Team of Experts. No bots. No bouncing. No BS.

This Un-carrier move ends the biggest customer service pain points: the hated phone menu & the call center runaround. The best customer service in wireless just got better.

Use your smarts, creativity and innovation to help us use technology to get closer to our customers and to give our experts superpowers.

T-Mobile will also make available its own open source Jazz Serverless platform for you to optionally use in your solution! Use of these services is not required.
