Why is Octopus merging with T-Mobile?
T-Mobile has long been our connectivity partner – powering our LTE/5G data plans and partnering with our team on tablet sourcing and advertising sales. Our strong relationship is now culminating with this acquisition.
This will help us introduce Octopus to more rideshare drivers across the nation while continuing to offer our driver partners the same great product and top-notch service you have come to expect from our team.

At this time, there are no changes to the Octopus platform, and we look forward to offering the same great Octopus experience to our partners. As we integrate with T-Mobile, we will continually explore ways to further enhance the driver and rider experience.
Do I have to send my tablet back or exchange it for a new device?
You do not need to send back your tablet at this time. If a tablet exchange is required in the future, we will contact drivers on an individual basis.
