Well here are our reasons:
2. Extremely great listeners.
3. About the business of resolving and making sure customers understand what's going on with the phone or service.
4. They somehow manage to teach you about your phone.
5. They Always share updates and specials going on.
6. They don't badger with trying to upscale products or services. They tell you about it, pros and cons but never forceful.
7. They follow-up and know when to escalate.

We have 5 phone lines, 2 watches and 3 tablets on our account at T-Mobile. My daughter deals with all the billing, specials,upgrades, all of that. I deal with the 80 yr old with poor eye sight & panic attacks over her phone, the 65 yr old non-phone using person and my own issues. We always go to the Arundel Mills Mall store & I usually ask for Big Kevin but today I had Blake. They are both very thorough, knowledgeable, patient & easy to understand. Today we were making the new Samsung be set up EXACTLY like her old Pixel with the same fonts, set ups and transferring all texts from 1 phone to the other. He fixed everything, made it all look easy, explained why I was having trouble doing some things & made it over all a very pleasant experience.
If you are not tech savvy or just need things simpler or fixed when you are stumped, these guys both are wonderful, all while not making me feel incompetent. We do not use a Gmail for our email, can never remember the correct Gmail address or know the passwords. That does not cause them any issues but drives me crazy. I highly recommend TMobile & I fully appreciate all the extra effort Blake went through for me today. You can go to the store for any issue or to get things set up on the phone, not just for broken phones.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ **Outstanding Service from Wesley—A True Mobile Expert\!** After more than 20 years with AT&T, I walked into T\-Mobile simply to explore my options and left as a new customer\. I traded in my paid\-off iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro and walked out with brand\-new iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro phones, along with cases and screen protectors\.
After a recent AT&T outage and frustrating congestion—especially when using my phone as a hotspot for backup internet—I did my homework and decided to seriously consider T\-Mobile for my area in Deer Pines Subdivision in Conroe, Texas\. That’s when I met Wesley, a T\-Mobile Senior Mobile Expert, and he truly deserves the title\. He was knowledgeable, professional, patient, and never pressured me\. He explained the military/veteran plan options, compared plans and phones, answered all my questions, and handled the entire transition from start to finish\.
Wesley made what could have been a complicated process incredibly easy\. I left the store confident that I had made the right decision and excited to have my new service before heading to Austin to celebrate my birthday with my son and daughter\. Thank you, Wesley, for your professionalism, knowledge, and outstanding customer service\. You represented T\-Mobile extremely well\. As they say in the military, I salute you\! 🇺🇸🫡 If you’re considering T\-Mobile, ask for Wesley\. He knows his stuff and truly takes care of his customers\!

I had a wonderful experience with Helen **, Mobile Expert Representative at T-Mobile. I came into the store extremely frustrated after my phone had been stolen, and Helen was so attentive, compassionate, and helpful. She took the time to explain everything I needed to know, gave me the information I needed to move forward, and even offered to call the phone insurance company to help me with the process. Helen is extremely knowledgeable and provides exceptional customer service. She truly went above and beyond to make a very stressful situation a little easier.
While I was waiting to be helped, I also observed Helen assisting another customer who was very upset and blaming her for the situation. I was impressed by how calm, patient, and professional she remained. She explained the process to the customer several times, and each time she did so with the same patience and professionalism. She never showed frustration or allowed the difficult situation to affect the way she treated the customer. Helen is a true asset to T-Mobile. Her compassion, patience, knowledge, and dedication to helping customers really stood out to me. Thank you, Helen, for making a difficult day a little easier. You are truly appreciated!

I have been a T-Mobile customer for more than a decade with three lines, and I have always been very happy with their service and network. Recently, my plan was no longer compatible with 5G, so I needed to upgrade. The representative who assisted me was very efficient and helped me find an affordable and convenient monthly plan that worked well for me. Later, I experienced a small issue regarding a promotion. I called customer service several times, and Matthew was very helpful, although the issue still wasn’t resolved.
Then I had the opportunity to speak with Ms. Wendy, and she was absolutely awesome. She was extremely professional, patient, and helpful. She took the time to fully understand my problem, promised to call me back—and, most importantly, she kept her promise and resolved the issue. I truly appreciate your help, Ms. Wendy. I’m very glad that T-Mobile has employees like you who genuinely care about their customers and follow through until the problem is solved. Thank you again, Wendy, for your outstanding service. You are a great example of what excellent customer service should be!

I canceled my internet service and requested a return label within days of receiving it. It was on my first bill I called again and was told I'd be receiving a credit and my return label would be in my email on the next billing date. Well I was billed and didn't get my credit or return label. So not only didn't I get a credit or return label but I got billed for another month.

In May, I left T-Mobile and went to Verizon, after my bankruptcy was filed. My T-Mobile account was closed as part of the bankruptcy. Over the summer and fall I grew displeased with Verizon's service where I live, as T-Mobile's was much better in speed and reliability. I went to a TMO company store in July to reestablish service after my bankruptcy discharge was granted. The TMO store informed me there was a watch line that had not been cancelled, due to error, so they cancelled it and told me I needed to wait 90 days from the cancellation of the watch to open a new account. that happened on 07/20/26. So I had to wait until 10/30/26, to come back and reestablish service.
I waited the full 90 days, and came back on 10/31/26 to the the TMO company owned store in Richmond, Indiana. As i was working with the representative, he was having issues getting my credit check done with his resources. So he called a back office, to have the, create an account with a temporary number, so he could then order a phone for me and have it shipped. In the process of making that account, the phone representative failed to provide a way to authenticate the account via email. So now this account is stuck, and I cannot do anything because TMO requires a SMS authentication code to a device, so we can access the account.
I go to the TMO store, they tell me to call customer care, I call customer care, they tell me I need to go to a TMO store, both avenues require I have a device to receive the SMS code to move forward, same issue with doing it through the T-LIFE app. I have had dozens of phone calls since to customer care only to hit dead ends or be hung up on when I ask for escalation. The TMO owned store will not help either, even though they CREATED this MESS!!!!!! I am at my wits end. I want this corrected, so I can order my iPhone DUO! Ridiculous. I have spend over $200 in gas as well getting too and from the TMO store. I feel TMO should compensate me for my time and trouble!

I am yet another unfortunate and poor soul who got "rear ended" when T mobile bought out US Cellular. Since this takeover i am "existing" with multiple/repetitive lost signals. Lost connections and it just keeps happening. Next, T mobile closed out the only service center within 60 miles of us. That's pretty pathetic. And now if you try to get support over the phone you find out quickly that it is a total waste of your time. There is NO customer service. I am looking forward to the day I can dump them and their overpriced crap service.

We cancelled service because they could never solve our problems with phone service. Dishonest about billing, sent email final bill with no explanation of the extra cost. Could not get into account to look at the bill. After waiting for 15 minutes, finally able to talk to rep in billing. Her explanation was absolutely unacceptable, and intentionally meant to confuse. She refused to get rid of that bill, saying it was impossible to do that. When I told her we were not informed of these extra costs, she tried saying we were. WE WERE NOT!!

T-mobile store and customer service sucks really bad. Today they send me back and forth from the store 3 times and then asked me to go back again for the 4th time and that’s when I said no. I don’t have my number at t-mobile, I transferred it to another carrier cause they sucks but my son’s number and my watch and tablet is still with t-mobile. My tablet and watch has been broken for months now and I haven’t had the time to go by the store to see about canceling those services. Now my son’s phone is not working so we are trying to go in and cancel the tablet and watch line and make changes to my son’s line but need verification. The store send me to call customer service, customer service said I need to be at the store cause I didn’t have my point code so I went back to the store for the 2nd time.
Store helped me changed my pin and send me to call customer care cause they can’t cancel these two lines, customer care said I need to go back to store for 3rd time and have them ID me to have code send, store send me code to my email and again said call customer care cause care to help with everything else. Customer care said I need to go back to the store for 4th time and have them call customer care and that’s when I told them no I’m not going back to the store for the 4th time. You guys already over verified me what else do you need to verify it’s me who is the account holder before I can make these changes to the account.
I asked for a supervisor, the agent kept saying it’s a long wait and I need to call back which I refuse to but then she hung up. This service I was provided was unacceptable, no one should be treated that way especially when my bills paid on time every month.

This is the worst internet company cancellation. I didn't get good internet coverage, so I wanted to return this after a few months. The online customer service where they outsource from the Philippines, they are circuitous, evasive, and will not give written verification of cancellation. This is the company's fault! T-Mobile charges you for service even after you return the box. This should be criminal! And T-Mobile internet needs to be investigated. The stores won't accept the box. The UPS return label gives a receipt and proves delivery, but there is no verification email sent. The customer service warns you that if you don't cancel on the day the service ends then we will be charged for the box, which is about $400 -- again, part of the circuitous process which ends nowhere. Please save yourself a headache.

We a customer for over 25 years and had tears of the best customer service imaginable. About 2 years ago the rate hikes started and customer service was exported. Wait times tripled and reps were rude to say the least. We finally decided to switch after the last unspecified rate hike. My plan started at $55 and ended up costing $88. All access needed to be done over the cellular website, not by phone, not on a PC. When I switched, I was relieved that the new company handled the transfer and cancellation for me. They canceled my plan before my billing cycle ended and activated my new service. I was billed for the following month. When I tried to call to inquire about the reason, I was told that they couldn't access my account bc it was closed! When I began to question how to go about taking care of it, they were unconcerned but never sent it to a supervisor and I was hung up on.
I received another bill the following month and told it would be sent to collections. I called again. Was told I needed the pin number which I didnt have. I was told I had to go to the store to get it and was then, again, hung up on. I went to the local T-Mobile store, waited in line and got the pin reset. They could not help with other issues. I called again with the pin number. I was never asked the pin number and we discussed the billing issue. Apparently, when we canceled prior to the end of the billing date, it was not put thru for 4 more days and were charged for the entire month. That sounds like a T-Moble problem!
Fortunately, I had finally gotten an associate that cared about customer service and tried to get a supervisor to help after asking to speak to one. She made the decision to cancel out the outstanding bill and was very polite! Kristen deserves a bonus. She is the only one in the current T-mobile customer service team that knows how to do her job and perform customer service!

**★☆☆☆☆ — Misleading Promises, Broken Expectations, and Terrible Customer Treatment.** I am extremely disappointed and furious with T-Mobile and the misleading promises made to me regarding my Go5G Plus plan. When I originally signed up for this plan, I was specifically told that one of its benefits was receiving a **FREE new phone every two years**. This was a major selling point and one of the reasons I agreed to pay for this more expensive plan. I was not told that I would simply receive a partial trade-in credit or that I would have to commit to another two years of service to receive the full value of that credit. I was told I would receive a FREE phone upgrade every two years.
Tonight, November 2, 2026, I visited a T-Mobile store to ask about upgrading to the iPhone 18. I was shocked when the representative told me that the free upgrade benefit I had been promised no longer existed. I was even told that the promotion had supposedly been discontinued a couple of months ago and that such a benefit had never existed in the first place.
Which is it? Was the promotion discontinued, or did it never exist? Those two explanations directly contradict each other. What makes this even more infuriating is that T-Mobile originally advertised Go5G Plus as a plan that guaranteed customers the opportunity to upgrade their phones every two years and receive the same promotional deals as new customers. This was one of the plan's major advertised benefits.
Instead of honoring what I was originally promised, the representative told me I could trade in my current phone for approximately $600–$700 toward an iPhone 18. However, to receive the full promotional credit, I would have to remain with T-Mobile for another 24 months. That is NOT the free phone upgrade I was promised when I signed up.
**And here is my biggest question: Why the hell am I paying over $100 a month for T-Mobile when I could have gone with Mint Mobile for as little as $15 a month?** That is a difference of more than $85 every single month, or over $2,040 across two years! I could have saved that money and simply purchased a new phone myself instead of paying for an expensive plan based on promises that T-Mobile is now refusing to honor.
What exactly am I paying all this extra money for? Why should anyone pay a premium for a plan when one of the major benefits they were promised apparently disappears when it is time to use it? I chose Go5G Plus because I believed I was getting something valuable in return for the significantly higher monthly cost. Had I known that the free phone upgrade I was promised would not be honored, I would have seriously reconsidered signing up for this plan in the first place.
I find this extremely misleading and unacceptable. If T-Mobile representatives are telling customers that they will receive free phones every two years to convince them to sign up for more expensive plans, the company should be held accountable when those promises are not honored. I am not asking for special treatment. I am asking T-Mobile to honor the specific promise that was made to me when I became a customer. I am also extremely disappointed that the representative tonight could not provide a clear, consistent explanation of what happened to the benefit I was originally promised.
**I want T-Mobile to explain why I was promised a free phone every two years, why that promise is now being denied, and what the company intends to do to make this right.** Until this issue is resolved, I cannot recommend T-Mobile to anyone. Customers should seriously consider whether paying over $100 a month for this service is worthwhile when significantly cheaper alternatives exist. **One star. If I could give zero stars, I would.**

After over 20 years with Sprint/T-Mobile, I was lied to. In January 2026, a salesperson pushed a plan change despite my objections, promising a better deal. Instead, my bill went up $100 a month—$1,200 a year. The supposed phone discount was outweighed by the higher plan cost. T-Mobile refused to reimburse the additional charges (fake promotion). Buyer beware: do the math, ask to simulate the bill! Don’t trust sales promises—get the full costs in writing before agreeing to any changes.

I switched to T-Mobile from Verizon over a year ago. I was driving commercial semi-trucks internationally and was having the worst time with my connection. As a truck driver, you are relying on your phone for more than just keeping in touch with friends and family. Brokers, tracking apps, navigation, checking in and out of shippers and receivers. It’s time-sensitive, and still, anytime I’d need to call 611 for help, I’d have to pull my truck over and park. Sometimes along the interstate because it’s where I’d finally get a connection.
I kept seeing T-Mobile’s advertisements about reliability and satellite. When I called them to assess the cost for services, they were giving me a much better deal than what I was getting at Verizon. And then when that cynic Billy Bob Thornton endorsed their brand, I was sold. You can’t drive a truck these days and pay the bills unless you’re always over the road. One day home for every week of driving. So I wanted the best plan they offered with as much hotspot data as possible. I signed up for the Experience Beyond plan.
Actually I guess I signed up for the Supermobile plan and at some point I’m not sure when or why was switched to Experience Beyond (perhaps this is where my problems started.) I’m told they’re almost identical except Supermobile provides 300 GB of hotspot and Experience Beyond only offers 100 GB per line. This is what I was told but, when I go into my Super exciting T-Mobile Life App (useless unless you’re a teenager with time to find a 7-Eleven in what might otherwise be a 7-Eleven ghost town in the West (just to get a free Slurpee?) When I go into my account, my plan definitely indicates each line has 300 GB of hotspot data.
Honestly, sales was having such a hard time understanding what I needed: “the highest tier plan with the absolute most hotspot data.” I must have expressed to them unquestionably that I needed their absolute best plan with the most hotspot data 6-12 times. Their available plans seemed to fit the bill plus all the bells and whistles… I couldn’t go wrong. As is the case with all things, our honeymoon period went off without a hitch. Then, several months into it, they stopped crediting me for the “free” phone on the free additional line with qualifying plans and service.
I still to this day can’t tell you what happened. You really have to pull teeth to get detailed information about a problem. I learned this through a more recent experience after 5 physical trips ranging from 1-5 hours (not including transportation time to and from) to Costco T-Mobile and endless conversations (more than 6) with service reps dialing 611, which also required at least an hour more on the phone.
All I know to date is that in order to get them to honor the original promotion, I have to call in every other month, and then they backdate the credit to include two device payments. A super frustrating way to spend 1-2 hours of time I don’t really have to spare. Every other month, going over the same tedious details that just seem to drag on more and more every time. Well, now I’m stuck with it, so what else can I do?!
One afternoon around the year mark, passing by the T-Mobile kiosk in Costco, they were offering an exceptional trade-in deal. I thought I was going to upgrade a line on my plan utilizing their annual jump benefit. It took the aforementioned time in person and at stores (so many exhausting hours for someone who doesn’t enjoy shopping) to finally figure out that they weren’t allowing me the upgrade because I went with AppleCare Plus over a year ago instead of their 360 plan (which they’re always quick to correct is not there’s, it’s Assurant.) I’m far too drained after all this nonsense to spend a minute more figuring out what contractual issue makes this distinction relevant.)
It still doesn’t distinguish anywhere in fine print, when you’re going over all the details of the Experience Beyond comparing plans, that this is a prerequisite for utilizing this annual jump benefit. In fact, I only figured it out while collecting piecemeal information from all the previously mentioned encounters while wasting over 15hrs of time, money, and gas. And then making a final call in which I strategically asked questions built on the previously gathered information, in an effort to get to the bottom of what was going on.
Another thing, having my phone extensively insured while traveling all across the nation for work is the only obvious option considering theft, possible damage, and the fact that I could be 400 miles down the road before realizing a business, personal phone or device is missing; depending on the circumstance. If I go through Apple Care Plus directly, I can save almost 20 percent by paying two years in advance. Assurant only offers monthly payment options ranging from $7-$19 per device, with rapidly stacking costs, even with the trade-in and monthly credit towards your phone promotion.
No one mentioned at any point this make or break detail until the last conversation I had, asking targeted questions in order to obtain information I feel should have been provided from the get-go. If you go over the benefits page of the Experience Beyond plan nowhere is there an asterisk or fine print indicating this stipulation. You might make the connection if you go into the Assurant Insurance plan details, where it lists the Annual Jump Upgrade Benefit as a bonus. And even then, there’s still no fine print making it part of the stipulation.
To top it off…I’ve been running loads regionally lately, which keeps me mostly in California, occasionally in Las Vegas, and sometimes in Texas or New Mexico. After struggling with continued interference during calls, navigation, and other required apps a fair part of the day, when I finally park for my 10hr break after running freight through these cities for 14 hours, take a quick hot shower to ease my aching back, and go to my bunk expecting to wind down over a movie and a call to a loved one, I still can’t rely on a signal.
And what of this Satellite? Doesn’t apply to me. The kicker is this was all through Costco’s T-Mobile. Wouldn’t they have known this detail? I specifically opted out of Assurant, explaining the history, savings, and lack of desire to pay another monthly subscription while upgrading a 16 Pro Max successfully the first night. They knew I didn’t have the 360 or intend to purchase this. If this was a stipulation, wouldn’t they have made the connection and explained it to me?
It’s not like Costco to contract with questionable vendors. I can’t believe they’d let me come back at least five times in person. They were on the phone with T-Mobile trying to work it out. Every time e we got a different answer and assurance that after escalating the problem we’d be able to upgrade. Just give it 24-48hrs.Well, thank God it was Costco with their generous return window. No way am I going to be married to T-Mobile another 2-3 years. At best, maybe we'll keep dating a little while longer!

T-Mobile is the worst. They sell you a bunch of lies at the store, and when you get your bill, everything changes. The customer service is nonexistent. I have been with them for 19 years. No more, I'm done with them! Don't use T-Mobile unless you want a bunch of regrets. I will be seeking legal action against T-Mobile for their lies and deceit.

Recently T-Mobile bought out US Celluar. Since that time a couple things have happened to my phone regarding messaging services. Not sure why since it did not seem to correlate to the take over as it happened down the road one time 3 months and now again several months later. My contacts are now unable to test me a message or rather the imessage is not working properly. And it directs thing to my email - frustrated in Wisconsin.

Worst experience ever for first time customers. I was lied to over and over in the course of spending over 6 hours on the phone with support. No accountability for lies, no acceptable resolution offered. Informed they do not care if I keep service and can't return devices back and that they will not honor promises made.
