The support for this service has been absolute garbage.

It seems this used to be a feature on the older models and this new 5G one can’t do it. I need port forwarding as a basic ability. We shouldn’t have to buy a VPN to use the internet we pay for. Have you got PureVPN to work with your settings? If so, is anything in addition to the instructions PureVPN provides at their website you did? Its a work around, but so far its the only way I have found to poke holes through that wall. The downside is that there is a cost to these services, but PureVPN also supports OpenVPN so you can use to connect other devices as a standard VPN. The benefit is that you will also have a dedicated IP which is super handy to have. This is actually easier than it might seem, and it works better than you might expect. Routers will vary with PPTP WAN support, but this should be a pretty common protocol so others might work the same. No need to open any ports or DMZ with the t-mobile router at all. Super easy to setup, and the dedicated IP you assigned becomes the WAN IP of the second router which means port forwarding is used directly. I use a second router with dd-wrt firmare and use PPTP to connect straight through its WAN connection settings. PPTP is hardly encrypted and is not standard to use for many VPNs, but it is very very fast and is minimal on latency / bandwidth compromises. It works with PPTP and L2TP / ipsec only but this makes it very easy to set up.

PureVPN has a service with their VPN that assigns your connection with a dedicated IP address and port forwarding. It works well with my phone tethering and hotspot though so I assume it will work the same. However, I have found a decent work around that has worked well for me, though I am still waiting for my device to come in for me to try on the t-mobile home internet. Unless t-mobile offers a service to allow a public or dedicated IP this probably will never be supported, even if the router they provide has it available in their settings. You will be assigned a shared IP to WAN which means there is no way to direct any particular port to your device directly.

The issue is that t-mobile and others use a carrier grade NAT which will never assign you a public IP when connecting to the internet. I have been using t-mobile hotspot and other carriers for years and have also had issues with the port forwarding.
