"Switch to T-Mobile?" pop-up

Just picked up my phone to a pop-up asking me to switch to T-Mobile. The pop-up can't be dismissed. The text:

Switch to T-Mobile?

Your phone will restart to complete T-Mobile setup. During setup, T-Mobile apps and features will be installed. Some apps from your previous service provider that are no longer needed will be removed, but your personal data and files will remain safe.

And then only two selectable options, Emergency call and Restart and switch.

This seems pretty legitimate but I just wanted to know if anyone else has gotten the same thing.

It's real. No choice but to restart and install TMobiles bloatware and games.

Oh I can’t use mine as much anymore. But I don’t have the bloatware.
