Whats the problem here?
But really that's weird, I wonder where the pics came from.
@TheOrtega: well, at first I was like \"damn, someones life is way more fun than mine if thats his cel phone pics!\" then I realized \"Damn, someones life is way sadder than mine if they keep spankbank photos on their T-mobile account\", which is far more likely to be the case
@TheOrtega: That should be the question here. Are they pulling them from random people's phones? Facebook was doing that with their embedded ads, so it's not a stretch that t-mobile is pulling photo from other customers to advertise internally.
Did you censor these, or did they come with the black spots on them?

@floraposte: According to my roommate, who is well versed in these sorts of things, they're all porn-stars.

@Bhockzer: your \"roommate,\" huh? *wink wink* Anyways, porn stars are consumers too, no reason why they couldn't also be readers/commenters on this site.
![\"user-pic\"](\"/mt-static/support/assets_c/userpics/userpic-1004377-100x100.png\")
@B: Were that the case for these women, I'd expect them to demand additional royalties for the distribution of their work beyond the scope they agreed to.
So, T-Mobile, Andrew, Consumerist, and Digg, expect a letter from their attorneys soon!
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-929652-100x100.png\")

Yeah, I'm going to file this under non-issue, I wish alltel would do this for me
I really hope they figure out whose accounts these pics are coming from. There is something seriously wrong with these girls' breasts! I think it might be cancer!
I wonder if clearing out his cookies would solve the problem. Maybe there's an ad cookie that is causing XXX rated targeted ads to be displayed.
@Jesse: The guy looks like he's running IE6 - much more likely that this is a virus, browser add-on, or poisoned DNS than a T-Mobile fowl-up.
@Jesse: He got the ads on two different computers, one of which is at work. I certainly HOPE he hasn't been viewing porn at work. :)
@katstermonster: he never said where he worked though. Maybe he works at a porn site company? But I'm guessing this wouldn't be aproblem for somebody in that line of work.
This seems like a highly effective way to encourage T-Mobile customers to pay their bills on time...and regularly...
Very strange. At least they're nice boobs. T-Mobile had better hope that none of the girls pictured find out their images are being distributed though...and Consumerist might want to throw some black bars over the eyes, just in case.

![\"user-pic\"](\"/mt-static/support/assets_c/userpics/userpic-930037-100x100.png\")
I think the pictures are intended as an incentive to get you to pay your bill online, rather than mailing pesky checks or calling and bothering one of their reps. \"If you pay online, Boobies for you!\"
@Esquire99: I have my own boobs to look at. Looking at others who may arguably have better boobs than mine is not incentive to pay my bill!
@soloudinhere:
Clearly they will eventually implement a \"If you pay online, Beefcakes for you\" soon. However, given the current economy T-Mobile was only able to implement a program for one of the sexes, and given that males are statistically more likely to pay the bills (you can't argue with statistics), they decided to implement Bills for Boobies first.
@soloudinhere: you could sign up for the penises for pennies, dicks for dollars, netpaid nutsacks.....
![\"user-pic\"](\"/mt-static/support/assets_c/userpics/userpic-301060-100x100.png\")
They were offering this for free, and now he ruined it for all T-Mobile users. Next month they'll start charging 99 cents per picture in a scrolling slideshow.
THANKS A TON BUDDY!

I think the crowd has spoken and a link to the uncensored version should be added so we can decide if we need to be outraged or not.
My T-Mobile account has the same issue (though not as interesting set of pics) and the mysterious pics have been on my account page for about two years now. No idea who they are of and where they came from.
Not at all - I actually blamed my wife and she turned around and blamed me..
@Alex Chasick: Can you get Andrew to send in a \"view source\" from the page when those pictures are being displayed? I'm curious to know if those pictures are actually on T-Mobile's servers, or being embedded in from some other source.
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-219805-100x100.png\")
With Sprint, I only get to *talk* to boobs when I call Customer Service...but Andrew gets to see them when he pays his bill?
Listen up Sprint...TMo has the right idea!
Sorry, I don't see anything odd.
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-944482-100x100.png\")
If you look at the part below the breasts, it says \"Album - Click here to manage\". This means that he has these pictures on his phone, which means the OP took them.
Don't take naked pictures and save them on your camera's Album if you don't want to be embarrassed when you pay your T-Mobile bill, silly.
@almightytora: \"I assure you that I don't upload pictures of topless women to my T-Mobile account, and that those pictures weren't from my camera phone (which I don't use, and even if I did, look at what type of phone I have! That crappy Razr couldn't take anywhere near that sort of clarity that those shots provide.)\"
I have to confess that the first thing I did after reading this was logging into my T-mobile account.
But I didn't have such luck, and I see THAT as an issue!

I logged into my T-Mobile Account and was confronted with a single picture of someone I knew, with a message intended for me. Perhaps someone has been sending titty pictures to Andrew?
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-444699-100x100.png\")
Weird. I logged into my account and saw pics that I had taken a couple of years ago on a phone I no longer have. I guess the phone auto loaded them to MyAlbum. Never noticed that before.
I wish Verizon would do this when I log into my account.

I don't see any problem here.
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-188304-100x100.png\")
That means someone sent you a picture, whether on purpose or by accident and since the picture was too big for a txt message it went right to the website. Sometimes your phone will notify you and sometimes it wont. Ive logged in and found odd pictures too but thats exactly what has happened.
Apparently I need to log into my tmobile account more often!
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-1225142-100x100.png\")
I'm not seeing a problem here... and I looked really, really closely.
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-1092-100x100.png\")
Leaving Sprint RIGHT NOW.
Those pictures OP saved on some phone of his at some point in time. They could be pictures he took, pictures he received in MMS or pictures he saved from the web.
![\"user-pic\"](\"/mt-static/support/assets_c/userpics/userpic-161523-100x100.png\")
I just wonder if they are just tying into the OP's dialing habits? You know like targeted ads.
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-285595-100x100.png\")
The funny thing is that I have seen those pics on the newsgroups.
I actually had exactly the same thing happen to me. It turns out that a friend sent me the pics in a SMS.
I called TMobile, to raise Cain, as I brought up my TMobile page at work, to be greeted my NSFW pictures. They were able to determine the origination number of the pictures. It took them a while to figure that out, but, it was possible (and it turns out I was able to find the number myself on the website).
Bottom line, I bet the original poster received MMSMS from either Spam, or someone he knows, and they are displaying on his home portal on TMobile.

Could it be a computer virus? I have seen viruses do this before.
I believe that these are sample images that T-Mobile's software is pulling down from other albums. Crazy or not, but are those albums marked private or public?
Being a male that's awake, I think that I would have to file this under the list of things that I would never ever complain about. It would certainly brighten up a slow work day.

just another reason I have t-mobile.
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-125582-100x100.png\")
I just logged in to my tmobile account, had some pictures there too from a relative of mine (clean pictures). I remember when he sent it and I denied the whole picture album setup agreement. Now it seem as if all those pictures caught up with me (and the OP) even if you do not accept originally them.
Maybe one of his friends is playing a prank on him.
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-83382-100x100.png\")
I have seen it once or twice on the prepaid accounts. I thought someone in geekland is having some fun now.
This is the only thing T-mobile has done right lately as far as I'm concerned. They won't replace a phone when its under warranty even when it clearly should be replaced, and when it finally totally dies 9 days after the expiration of the warranty, they say \"oh well if you had called during the warranty period we would have replaced it.\" I pointed out that I did call and asked for a replacement and they said \"we're really sorry but you'll have to buy a new phone.\" Worst customer service ever. Hello I-phone or Droid, here I come.
![\"user-pic\"](\"/mt-static/support/assets_c/userpics/userpic-1114821-100x100.png\")
The OP's posting means nothing without the original pics...
\"Read More: It's Not A Bug It's A Feature\"
Ain't that the truth. (grumbles that AT&T won't even offer some pity sideboob)
The question I have is - when he got the email notification of his bill being due, did he type the T-mobile address into his browser to pay the bill... or did he click a link in the email.
(i.e. Was he phished - and did he give his account information to someone who then uploaded the pics)
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-17044-100x100.png\")
Umm...why would you call to complain? If you can pay your bill and see some titties what is the problem. \"Um hello, Comcast? I am getting the Playboy and Spice channel for free, just thought you would like to know.\"
I've had a T-mobile account for 10 years (back when they were Voicestream in the US). That section of the site is shots that are from his phone that he (or somebody) uploaded from his handset. If a customer hasn't uploaded any photos, then that area just says, \"Album: Save, share, show off your photos\".
Hmm... who can I get to take my handset, snap a few shots, and upload for me?
TMO entice you with the pictures so you have more incentives to log in and see the next set of pics.
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-846800-100x100.png\")
I have T-Mobile and I also like to look at boobs, so I just logged into my account and in the MobileLife section it says \"We're sorry but the Album Web site is currently unavailable. We're working to solve the problem.\" Thanks for ruining it for all of us, OP and Consumerist!
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-1240768-100x100.png\")
Verizon just recently tacked on a $3.50 fee for paying on-line by credit card. Verizon people are just plain boobs (apparently not like T-Mobile's!)
And you're complaining why? Epic boobs!
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-513780-100x100.png\")
i think the problem is that he's still using IE6...
Yeah, I'm guessing either a cookie saved on his browser or that they are picture messages sent to/from him. Just logged in myself, and it shows pictures from MMSs I have sent and/or received.
Working in the Web Security business, the first thing this screams to me is that someone's machine (yours, t-mobile's, t-mobile's ad server) was compromised and is serving potentially malicious links. Have you clicked on it to see where it brings you? If not, don't - at least on your windows machine.
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-1423828-100x100.png\")
Well I just tried to log onto my T-mobile account and it looks like they took down the site temporarily. Maybe they're busy cleaning up all the boobs?

If only all our problems were like this, our world would be a wonderful wonderful place. :)
I hope T-Mobile takes this matter seriously.
This is typically a sign of spyware.... Lots of viruses now replace ads and insert there own on websites.
Seen it before. Its crazy.
I tried to go to \"My.tmobile.com\" and I got this error:
You have asked Firefox to connect
securely to my.tmobile.com, but we can't confirm that your connection is secure.Normally, when you try to connect securely,
sites will present trusted identification to prove that you are

T-Mobile should learn how to keep their boobs safe and secure.

What makes the whole thing weird is at least one of those girls is a confirmed porn-star. It'd be one thing to be random pictures but another to have some porn-star high res photos. Really odd.
![\"user-pic\"](\"/mt-static/support/assets_c/userpics/userpic-405405-100x100.png\")
I bet the next thing he complains about is the no-clothes policy at the sorority house next door.
Ok, I'll be \"that\" guy...
Does anyone else notice that in the \"ScreenCap2\", that the girl in the middle of the larger photo is a porn \"actress\". I'm not guessing these photos were exactly candid shots.
![\"user-pic\"](\"/mt-static/support/assets_c/userpics/userpic-772833-100x100.png\")
@GlassWalker: thank you for being 'that' guy. WIN! and could you maybe also note that those are purchased boobs, not the lovely natural kind?
The first screen shot below the article. The one with the 3 girls I have seen on a website before. T mobile must have pulled these pics from a website.
![\"user-pic\"](\"/mt-static/support/assets_c/userpics/userpic-175166-100x100.png\")
I occasionally do research on this exact subject matter, and I recognize the two of the women as Natasha Nice and Gianna Michaels, star \"actresses\" in the adult entertainment industry.
THIS IS REAL. My friend at work sits right next to me and he just logged into his accoutn and there are plenty of pics of woemns bodys parts all over the place.
NONE of which he took.
I assume they are other T-mobile account holders uploading pics to share with other T-mobile customers.
...and by the look of it, t-mobile customers are pretty hot !!

it seems like they really want to keep you as a customer by showing you revealing pictures of busty women when you log into your account.
I bet verizon and att cant offer that type of service on their webpage?!?! I see a lawsuit coming from them two by using women as a lure to keep customers committed to tmobile! lol!
and I still dont see the problem...unless you have a gf/married. \"and why are there pics of topless women in your tmobile account page!?!?!...blah-blah-blah-blah!!!\"
Why is this guy complaining?? Is he a fag???? I'd actually expect to be charged extra.
I'm sorry, but this is probably in my top 3 Consumerist posts. I'm sure I wouldn't be terribly happy if boobies started showing up on my internets without me specifically looking for them (especially if I had kids at home), but this is just terribly funny to me.

I'm not sure I'm seeing the problem here. Especially in regards to the one on the left in the first photo...
@ophmarketing: \"With Verizon, there's a map for that.\"
@ophmarketing: Late to the game, but yeah, I agree: Seems like T-Mobile's winnin' me over here!
…AND my g/f. :-D Sweet.
@ophmarketing: Definitely makes me want to switch to T-Mobile.
@ophmarketing: Wow, sure didn't take long for the juvenile comments by the guys who have never had a girlfriend. Good grief, GROW UP.
@ophmarketing: You know, some people would say this is what's known as a \"good problem to have\"
@ophmarketing: Totally a non-issue in my book.
@ophmarketing: The problem is that AT&T doesn't do this for me.
I guess T-Mobile has to compete with the iPhone somehow.
@ophmarketing: Cheerful CSRs!!!
@ophmarketing: I see what you did there.
@ophmarketing: Ditto, Are we sure he didn't get a bogus link in his email or those are MMS's that someone sent him?
