    I probably shouldn't complain because this product is so cheap. I use it infrequently for my side business, but it needs to be reliable. Unfortunately, the payment model is a little shady and they deactivate your account WITH NO WARNING and no feedback until it's too late, so you need to be vigilant about checking your account status.

    The $3/month claim is kind of shady. You have to pay a minimum of $10 at a time, and if there is not at least $3 in your account when the month rolls over, your account is quietly deactivated. So you're never really able to use the full value that you put in, which is frustrating, even though it's a small amount. On top of having your service go dark out of nowhere, they charge another buck to turn it back on. I'm sure this adds up for T-Mobile or they wouldn't do it.

    Somehow I got charged for extra texts within the first 3 month period, despite not having gone over my minutes or texts. I counted them like a crazy person, and complained to customer service until they appeased me in some way I don't remember. Definitely don't leave it up to them to track your usage or warn you when it's time to load your account.

    Just got back from a twenty-five day trip to Europe - Paris, Munich, Salzburg, and London. I have the T-Mobile 1 plan that claims unlimited texting and unlimited data. The texting worked fine, sometimes a bit slow when adding a photo to the text, but generally OK. Unfortunately, the “unlimited data” that T-Mobile claims was so slow and spotty that it was next to useless. I mostly tried to use their unlimited data for Google Maps.

    While everyone is extremely nice... don’t fall for it. I switched from Sprint to T-Mobile in March. I had to pay off one phone with Sprint, pay the bill, and turn in 3 phones before I could activate with T-Mobile. T-Mobile stayed by 2 people that the Promotion was 150.00 gift card per line and I didn’t need to do anything else. Soooo, cards never came so I called. Now told that I had to submit my final bill, which I did but they have no record of, and that they never had a promotion like that. They now say I’m outside the 30 days to submit for the promotion. Each bill is different... never consistent. The service is ok but I don’t like false advertising and liars. Will be going elsewhere at the end of my contract.

    For years I have had this company for my cellphone usage. Probably for 20 years. Last October I lost or accidentally misplaced my phone. I usually find it within 2-3 weeks and when I didn't I called to have them temporarily cancel my service until I found my phone. They told me they would and I would no longer receive any bills. Since I am partially blind I was trying to buy a new phone in a bright color so if it would get misplaced I would be able to see it, unlike the current one that is missing.

    I am a Senior and disabled so I could not afford to pay full price for one. I did find a phone but when I took it to the store to activate it I was told it would not work with their system. I tried several times with different phones and the last one was almost 100% sure it would work. When I called T-Mobile they told me I would need a SIM card and would send me one free since I had been a customer for so many years. I never did receive it and called them and was told to buy one at the store and they would give me a $25 credit. I expected my service would at that time be resumed and this would go toward my first month bill. Well this phone also did not work.

    After so many months of being without one someone suggested that I contact T-Mobile since they were losing money as I did not have the service and ask them to provide a phone for me. I contacted them yesterday and it seemed the whole deal they made with me was nothing but a lie. I was told that they were billing me every month but then crediting my account. This money that I paid out of pocket was used to credit my account back in Feb and that I would not receive it. This was not what I agreed on nor was it what their representative told me. Another lie!!!

    This makes no sense to me. Right here you can tell that they owe me. They agreed to send me a free SIM card which they would not charge me for so why are they flipping this around on me? Now I find that they put a charge of $8.68 on my credit card that I never agreed upon. A lesson learned. Never be faithful to any business as they are only interested in you to obtain your money and will lie and cheat just to keep you hanging on and using their product.

    After trying out T-Mobile for a couple of years with countless dropped calls and virtually no reliable service I finally decided to get service from another provider. That was only the beginning of the debacle that ate up hours of my time attempting to call the correct person to cancel my account. Still, after my account was cancelled I was hit with an auto payment for the next month's service and after that was resolved I received one more bill for $0.33. That's fine, I guess I managed to make a single call after my service was cancelled?

    I went to pay the bill online only to find out that I can no longer access my account. I would never ever recommend T-Mobile to anyone. I am sure the individuals that work there are great but the company itself is a **. I have literally never been compelled to write a review like this before by any other product or service, but I have had nothing but headache after headache when it comes to my interactions or use of T-Mobile service.

    When first signed contract with T-Mobile the sales people offered free tablets... They were not free and we had to pay for that mistake. Also they had a promotion where they were supposed to pay the cancellation fees from previous carrier... They never did. After two years finally I was able to get rid of these crooks and moved all my phone lines to Verizon and cancelled the account, they sent the final statement (big bill) which I gladly paid just to get rid of them and I thought that was it, I'm done!

    Nope. They kept billing me for the tablet's service like if they were active, called customer service and got no help, the response I got was "The system says you owe money and you have to pay." So I paid the total final statement again and they assure me that this time the account was closed and never will receive another bill from them. Will see. Do yourself a favor and stay away from T-Mobile. You've been warned.

    I have spent thousands of dollars on phone upgrades (recommended by T-Mobile), New sim cards (also recommended by T-Mobile) the bills any hours upon hours of effort on my part to make a single cellular phone call. I have given this group many, many attempts to correct the issues. It has all to be told "well we don't know what to do". It is a tragedy of American innovation and business in general that allows this conflagration that the American public must withstand. Furthermore that they have the audacity to attempt and swallow another business for that "Purple Mans" vanity is an affront to every working person who has EVER existed. Stand as clear of this group of goons as you can, they destroy the very fabric of reasonable to fill the pockets of Purple Man and should be rendered to the dustbin of business extinctions.

    This occurred in early 2018. At the time, T-Mobile offered a promotion to buy out existing phone plans when you migrated your lines. We decided to move our family plan from AT&T to T-Mobile and in exchange for this offer. When we signed the agreement, T Mobile applied the wrong promotion, which shorted us about $1,200. I understand that errors happen. When I called in, however, the agent told me that they can only apply a single promotion to each plan. In addition, T-Mobile would not be able to go back and change the applied promotion. I explain how T-Mobile promised a certain promotion. They said I would need to talk to another department.

    I spent much of the following 6 weeks being bounced around to different agents and teams. I had to 1. spend a lot of time on hold, 2. call back at certain times, and 3. be by my phone at a certain times to receive calls. After at least 10 conversations, T Mobile agreed to close part of the gap of what they owed us ($800, still shorting us $400). T-Mobile failed me and didn't make it right. The company bounces customers around to different agents without reaching a resolution. The process protects the company at the expense of customers. T-Mobile lost my trust in this experience.

    16 year Customer. Calls dropped more and more over past years. Now all voice mails gone by forced change/update to T-Mobile visual voice mail. Leaving T-Mobile. Wonderful person helping me and checked all angles after about 1/2 hours on phone but no solution. T-Mobile admits having problems but no solution. T-Mobile basically says "screw you" customer by these actions let alone increasingly more dropped calls particularly during busy time so day. Clearly dropped calls are intentional. Direct to voice mail and then deleting all my voice mails. No compensation if any was enough. Loved T-Mobile for many years but clearly this company is no more. Still the best deal in Germany on a minute basis but not on a total package when in fact competitors allow fixed daily rate that give far better service. Sad and quite a hassle but leaving after 16 years and multiple lines.

    When I spoke with a T-Mobile representative on May 31st I was calling to complain about my service for over a month now we have been dealing with. Service problems. Something about a tower being down in my area but it's not right and it's not fair we pay almost a $400 phone bill every month. We've been a customer for 19 years and if it was up to me I would leave this company ASAP. We can't use any of the apps on our phones, we can't make or receive any phone calls no texts, we can't use the internet. Yesterday I started a new job and I was going to my job shadow.

    I was late because I couldn't even use my GPS to get there because of this and service problem they've been having. Can't read my audio Bible or any of the other audiobooks. The past month my phone has been pretty much useless. Yesterday when I called in while troubleshooting the phone line was disconnected and no one called me back. I give T-Mobile a BIG O!!

    My wife and I switched to T-Mobile's prepaid plan after having a terrible experience with Xfinity Mobile. We had previously used T-Mobile's post-paid plan and been very happy. Under the new T-Mobile plan we setup autopay to renew our service. Twice now, our service has expired on the renewal date and our service was cutoff. In both cases I had to manually renew our service only to find out through our credit card bill that T-Mobile billed us 2x for the same transaction. The first time this happened I called T-Mobile and asked them to fix our autopay and refund us. They "fixed autopay" but said they couldn't refund us because they didn't see more than one charge.

    Since they were being unhelpful, I disputed the charge through my credit card company. The second time I was overcharged I called them immediately and they promised me a full refund and that another agent from the billing department would call me the next day. That didn't happen and it has been a week and a half. To say that I am extremely frustrated with T-Mobile's lack of customer service would be an understatement. The only reason I'm still with them is that I'm tired of dealing with customer service and don't want to change carriers again. I'm planning to just manually pay my bill early each month. If another reputable carrier comes along and offers me a better deal though, I'd be more than happy to switch carriers.

    T-Mobile suspended our phone and told us they did it because I had said that I didn’t want to activate my account to begin with. I have been a customer for 5 months, am on auto-pay, signed all the paperwork when I signed up. I have worked with 6 different reps who had me go to T-Mobile store to show my IDs. They didn’t have a working fax so told us to go next door to the UPS store to fax them and now I get told that the fax didn’t come from a T-Mobile store so we have to go to another store that has a fax.

    By the way, the reception is terrible. After speaking on the phone with someone, about 4 minutes into the conversation, they can’t hear me anymore, they tell me I’m breaking up. This happens to all of the 3 phones with T-Mobile and with everyone we talk to. I don’t know what we are going to do. When I asked them why the phones were turned off, they don’t know.

    I have been a T-Mobile customer since it was Voice Stream. I have had many phones over the years. Most of them Samsung. On all of them I could go to System Volume and eliminate the disgusting T-Mobile jingle. I recently upgraded to the LG G7 ThinQ. Nowhere on there can you silence the jingle. You pay hundreds of $$$ for a phone and you are told you cannot mute it. You can lower the volume when you turn it off. That is not a solution. Why should I keep a phone and stay with a company that thinks I need a annoying jingle. It has been a long time but maybe it is time to move on. Know AT&T would like me to switch.

    I have been a T-Mobile customer for four years. Before taking a trip to Europe, I contacted T-Mobile about using my iPhone in France to call or text the United States. I made at least two long extensive call to T-Mobile to get all the details about 'Simply Global' and how it works. In addition I arranged to have faster data for two months for a charge. I was repeatedly told I could call the US and receive calls just as if I was in the US. Not true, a big piece of information was left out. I was not able to make calls or texts to US numbers from France. I tried many times and many ways and also tried to reach T-Mobile. No calls or texts worked. I also tried to use wifi calling but T-Mobile kept asking for my address and then deeming it 'Invalid Address."

    Back in the States I spoke with a T-Mobile manager and found out what had happened. Upon arriving in Europe I had to turn on phone roaming by dialing a certain code. But I hadn't been told to do that, how was I supposed to know to do that? T-Mobile 'welcomes' you when arrive in Europe, why not include message about data roaming code in welcome message. Also the wifi calling didn't work because T-Mobile needed to add my 911 address to their records to make it work. They could have checked that when told me I could use wifi calling for free.

    I wasted time, couldn't reach anyone in the US if I had had an emergency. I think cell phones are complicated. Why not have a standard letter of information they send out when customer going to use 'Simply Global'. It wasn't simple and it was not global. The Manager I spoke to did realize what the problem had been and explained it well. He also gave me credit for the 2 months of extra datas. In general I think TMobile should work more on clear information to the customer and less on asking us if we are satisfied with the last interaction.

    I’ve been a T-mobile customer for 10 years. I brought my mother, boyfriend, and his mother over to the company in November. My boyfriend and his mother were with Verizon before. We are all on a group plan. Since my boyfriend got his Samsung S9, it has been nothing but problems. The phone drops calls, misses calls and doesn’t receive texts for hours after they are sent. He has complained and taken it into different stores with no resolution. No one else has had problem with service which leads me to think it was the phone. I went online to upgrade the phone, and when I went to process the trade in it told me I only needed to pay $220.

    When I went to process the payment it had an error message saying I had a duplicate payment. When I called customer service they told me I would have to pay twice what was stated online. When I complained about the price difference they kept me on the phone for an hour trying to reproduce what I see, and then finally told me to go to a store after not being able to resolve my issue. I had screen shots of the online price difference and they refused to honor it. I wasted an hour of my evening for them to tell me to go to a store. I’m so embarrassed I brought people over to this company.

    Not only are they not consistent between the phone help and the online portal, but they care nothing about my boyfriend's experience as a new customer with a faulty phone. Multiple complaints to store sites and now over the phone, with no resolution. I’ve never had a problem with them until I brought more customers to them. Seems like they don’t want more customers, and they could care less about keeping them happy.

    Service keep getting worse and worse, to the point I have to borrow someone's phone so I can make a phone call. I have called multiple times to T-Mobile to report the problems with the service and they just said I need to buy a new phone. Even the people around me with Cricket and Boost Mobile can used the phone with no problem and they are cheaper. They used to be a really good company with a very good service but now I won't recommend the company to nobody.

    I called T-Mobile to close my account since me and my wife were switching to ATT. After confirmation that my account would be closed, I get the news that my account was never closed and that I owe them a balance on service that wasn't even used. They informed me that I need to go into a store and pay the balance. I go into the store a few days later and they have moved my account into collections stating that they can no longer do anything about the situation and I have to deal with the collection agency.

    All I have to say that I got the runaround from T-Mobile and I have never experienced such horrible customer service. Not only am I left to deal with a collector but I am also out of hundreds of dollars. Steer clear from T-Mobile if possible, I have come to figure out that ATT and other providers have a better way of treating their customers. Oh, and to make the matters worse is that the collector informed me that this is a common occurrence and there is nothing much I can do other than pay the balance.

    This is my experiences from a purchase or lease from a plan. I picked the monthly plans which was "unltd" data. Cost was $55 because I'm considered senior. I was very ill informed about additional charges which appeared on my online bill like how it went from $55 before tax to $70. They put add on calls to Canada and and Mexico which I didn't need and that was removed. And I know I have to pay taxes but to inflate to $70 a month so I added auto pay but that wasn't a huge help at all.

    But the real problem started when I lost my phone. Had insurance so I temporarily halted service so whoever finds phone wont be able to use it. Got replacement week or so later. I thought it would be a new phone but it was a crappy scratched refurbished phone. I really didn't notice how scratched up it was until a few weeks or so later when I couldn't make or receive calls. I found out I had 14 days to return it. Now it's too late to return it. The sim card I received was not turned on properly by tech support. They had turned the lost sim card back on. I figured this out when I called customer service and tech support wanted me to read off sim card number. It was a stressful call because they kept saying they show it working. I'm talking to tech support in another country. I finally got them to read back the sim card info and it did not match what I had. I was without a phone for 30 days.

    When I wanted them to take off the charge for the month of no service because they turned on the wrong sim card they refused and refused to let me talk to any supervisor. This went on and on until I was able to get a phone number to the stateside office online and not thru these people in this outsourced office. I wanted to just cancel the plan and return the phone. I was told it would cost $400 to cancel. This was very strong-armed tactic and I hung up and called back to speak with a supervisor. Again no one would let me talk to one.

    I called at an earlier time and managed to talk to a rep who said I would only have to pay $120 if I elect to keep phone or return it and owe nothing. When I asked the rep to send me what she just told me in writing she just said it's recorded and T-Mobile has this type of record but I wanted proof of my conversation and this result but said wasn't necessary to send me a letter. I had no choice but to agree since I'm thinking I finally was able to cancel and walk away since I didn't want to keep the phone because it was still defective.

    I returned it to a T-Mobile store where I live. Nothing was said about owing a balance since I cancelled plan and paid any balance from the actual plan. Within 2 weeks I received a bill from T-Mobile saying I owe $100 for cancelled lease and that was the buyout fee. Here we go again. I called and mentioned I straightened all that out previously but they told me whoever told me I wouldn't owe anything was wrong. They refused to even give me the benefit of doubt. I wouldn't make this up because I don't want a bad mark on my credit. Then they sent it directly to collections. I paid $50 because I really can’t afford ridiculous charges at the drop of a hat and hoped to work it out but I got nowhere in talking to anyone. I didn't opt out of any arbitration and when I saw that I supposedly did I said something to salesman and he said that's for new customers and didn't apply to me.

    I'm very disappointed that a company like this resorts to holding a person to a what I think is one sided agreement and to constantly give me conflicted info. I paid everything I believe I owed but they want more and almost got me to suffer thru a 2 yr lease. It was a monthly plan that they say I could be free to cancel any time but that was far from the truth. Why does 1 rep say 1 thing, another rep say another and in the end it's all in conflict. This is wrong and now it's on my credit as a bad debt for the $50. Thanks T-Mobile and I will never trust your company because of the many lies that was told to me. You can type reports to fit what you claim to tell me but in the end you shook me down to get another $100 away from me who is on a fixed income. Do research diligently before you agree to any cell phone plan AND company.

    Coming over from other cell provider which was so overpriced, I was keen to start fresh with T-mobile. It seemed like a amazing deal - start 2 new lines of service and getting a free iPhone XR on a monthly plan to be credited. After calling and not seeing credits I was told it takes 2 bill cycles for them to show. Ok fair enough, yet on month two no credits showed. I also realized I was charged a whole month of service on my first bill, despite having only had 10 days of service. They did refund the difference on that.

    I wonder how many people catch this. Next I called again in credits and was now told, it was a trade in deal and so owed the monthly payments. It was no free offer. Haha so completely misled and never once did sales rep mention trade in deal. Long story short after 4-5 hrs back and forth I was credited $350 towards the device and higher customer service was decent. Supervisor I talked with was rude and had a follow up call for 40 minutes on the issue that just cost me time and no change. Pretty shady like the rest on this- no recording of call supposedly and am curious if this has happened to others. Read your new contract in full seems only way these days as what is said can be complete bollocks. Be careful when signing new deals today and with insurance car and cell companies.

    I changed my cellphone service to T-Mobile in December, 2017, enabled auto pay. I wasn't able to create an account online, so I went to the local store. The clerk told me to go online in a day or two and create an account. I was never able to create an account. The first month when payment was due, the payment was never taken by T-Mobile, so I went back to the store and paid and was assured that the payment would be deducted from my bank each month. It took another month and another visit to the store to pay my bill. When I call, the robot says that auto pay is enabled and the payment will be taken at the beginning of the month. That worked for 3 months, and my phone service is disconnected and T-Mobile says they will insert a ticket for the fifth and final time. I just bought a year of phone service through Red Pocket.

Since 2 weeks ago I've had to call this company 3 times and they were not helpful at all. My old account was deactivated and the email address I have apparently is still in use with my old account which they keep looking up.

    I have been told 2 times now that a request has to be put in to completely remove my email address which was done last week and the week before... I have been told 2 times now to wait 48 to 72 hours to make a new account which I cannot do still. The people who work for T-Mobile customer service need to go back to where they came from and learn way better English. They there even more disrespectful and telling me to not to use bad words.

    I purchased a Galaxy S10 after being offered a deal by T-Mobile's sales department through its app. I went to a local T-Mobile store and was sold the device according to their offer. I was told that I would have to wait for the agreement to process and it would show on my regular bill in the next cycle. After that did not happen and multiple calls to T-Mobile, I was told that my purchase will not qualify for the sale. I am now forced to overpay for the phone or send it back to them and incur any fees they want to charge. It is hard to understand how T-Mobile could treat me like this after a decade of loyalty.

    T-Mobile is a horrible company with unacceptable customer service. They will mislead, cheat, overcharge and lie to their customers, while assuring they’d take best care of you. I’ve been loyal customer of T-Mobile for 15 years, and have had enough of their lies, overcharges, I’ve been with them for 12 years, when they took away my unlimited data plan and substituted it with 2 GB data plan, no explanation. Nothing! Completely unacceptable! So they can force me into $70/month plan - $20/month higher than I’ve been paying for many years. Today was my last day with T-Mobile. I know… This should have happened way sooner. But it’s better late than never. I switched to Sprint and will be saving $45 per month! My plan is only $25 per month and has exact same features. Do not go to T-Mobile. Avoid by all cost. There are many companies out there that deserve your business! T-Mobile absolutely does not.

    I transferred eight lines to T-Mobile from AT&T for a better deal. I only swapped the sim card for one phone to test the service. It was terrible. In the Bellevue, WA, and Lynnwood, WA (Alderwood Mall) I was getting less the one KB of speed. It was so slow it's not even worth trying to use. I talked to the engineering guys at T-Mobile, and they said they had no outages and it must just be congestion.

    I immediately canceled 3-4 days after signing up. I received a bill in the mail for $65.47. I called the rep and told them that I canceled because it was too slow, I canceled immediately after talking to T-Mobile engineers and that I shouldn't be charged. They told me it was "pro-rated" and that all companies do it– which is not the case. I would avoid T-Mobile as much as you can. You pay more for AT&T/Verizon, but the speeds are incredible.

    DO NOT SWITCH TO T-MOBILE UNDER THEIR FREEDOM CARRIER, OR OUT OF THE RED BUYBACK SCAM. T-Mobile sent two specialized dealers to my shop to try to convince me to switch. Three hours later, with all sorts of promises on reimbursing our Verizon Bill/Phones and crediting our T-Mobile Account. We cave and sign up. Fast forward, and T-Mobile is charging me for my bill from the beginning instead of crediting our account. Spent hours on the phone with countless T-Mobile Experts and nobody knows how our account was set up by these dealers. Come to find out we had to submit a copy of our final bill from Verizon for our reimbursement. Took 3 weeks to come in.

    By the time I submit the bill to T-Mobile, they tell me I am out of the time period allowed to submit the bill and will not reimburse us for any of our Verizon Charges. So now I am $1800 IN THE HOLE with Verizon, and I still have to pay my T-Mobile monthly bill. Everything they promised me and told me would happen, which convinced me to switch over, they ended up denying me in the fine print.

    This company does NOT care about customer service, and will do and say anything to get you to switch, then dump the astronomical bill on you, and not follow through with anything. Even though T-Mobile did not properly notify me that I needed to submit documents or that they were charging me for my first bill until it was already done. Then they relied on the fact that Verizon was dragging their feet on getting me a physical copy of the final bill (something that you cannot call in for or visit their store for, after you have closed your account). This is the biggest scam I have ever been a part of. Will not be using T-MOBILE or Verizon, greedy businesses all the same.

The phone was not blacklisted, (i.e., there was no outstanding debt on the phone or the previous owner's account.). T-Mobile refused to unlock it because I was not the original owner.

They hooked up one line with the others to be hooked up in two days.

    We went back in two days later and they wanted us to pay $400+. So, I asked to close everything and return my phone. They wouldn’t return my phone and told my husband they didn’t have it but, I had just unlocked it 20 mins earlier. Robert (manager) told my husband to go to Sprint as soon as possible switch back to them and call him so, he could close the account. Which we went to Sprint and my husband called Robert back and he wasn’t there. The manager at Sprint had told us they should have given the phone back to me. We had to wait until Monday. We call Robert on Monday and he tells my husband that he would have to call customer service to close account. Another lie!

    We called corporate to see if we could get my phone back and close the account. They wouldn’t return my phone and had a hard time trying to close the account.

I send back a "refurbished phone" that I got from them because it wasn't working properly and my screen went completely black (second time this happens) by the way!

He told me that I was getting charged that because they received my phone analyzed it and that it had water damage and that it had a crack! Which is 100% not true. My phone had NEVER been close to water and there were no cracks when I send it in via UPS. Yes, his answer was "I can send you pictures of what I have", well ok!, you can send me whatever you want because I know that I did not send you guys a water damage nor cracked phone.

    I hate saying this but it feels like a set up almost. Why? Because like Alan said, I can't prove that I send it without those issues. So they can just ding me with a $441 fee and I just have to eat the cost. It is the most unfair fee I have ever encounter because I know for a fact that my phone didn't have either of those issues. Shame on you guys, a loyal 15 year customer has lost all trust in you, your ethic and professionalism. I will never send in a phone without taking pictures of what I'm sending because now I know that "water damage and cracks" can magically appear and you will have to pay for something you did not cause.

    I have never been more disturbed or aggravated over something as I am now. Let me add, best believe that if I would of cause these issues I would own up to it and paid whatever I had to pay. However, paying for something you didn't do is the worst feeling ever! Hope this report help someone and that a picture saves you from having to pay anything. I wish I had done that.

The moment I landed in China for my transfer flight further I opened my phone and it did not work. At first I thought it was the Chinese airport that did not allow phones for security reasons or something, but when I still could not get network at my final destination (Bangkok, not exactly a remote and uncovered area!), I called T-Mobile, and from then on I spent almost a week calling them for hours at a time.

    Customer Service seemed endlessly patient with me and advised me to do all kinds of things to my perfectly good phone, until they concluded that it "must be my SIM" card, or my phone was "too old" (exactly 3 yrs since I bought it from T-Mobile!). So, I spent the entire trip dependent on wi-fi - until I landed back in the US, at which point my SIM card "miraculously" accessed network within seconds of landing. I sent the final email to the Customer Service associate who had been lying to me since the beginning, that I knew they were lying to my face and were deliberately blocking my phone - and received neither an apology, nor a denial of my accusations.

    Finally, I got so sick of the service that I switched cell providers. After doing so, I contacted the customer care to ask what my final bill was and how I could take care of it. They would give me no info other than it would be mailed to me in a couple of weeks. A week or so later, I got a call from a debt collector. So they would not let me take care of the final bill a week after canceling my service and then within 2 weeks turned it over to a debt collector rather than sending the final bill.

T-Mobile claims to care soooo much about their customers, but they just can't seem to care enough to enable their customers to avoid their overpriced suspension fee.

    Got basic service from T-Mobile. Voice-only. Prepaid. I think they had expectations I would upgrade because over time, voice-only prepaid has LOST functionality. They removed the ability to manage phones via Windows, removed the ability to check voicemail via Windows, and made it harder to interact with chat support, setup extreme wait times for responses from 1st level that are at best, canned and at worst, just wrong. They have been unable to support a phone that I was told could be unlocked and they make changes to their business method that actually make it difficult to find your balance and pay your bill? A lot of the degradation seems to correspond with the time since they were bought by Sprint. I think this is one of those cases of "buy it and burn it down."

    My friend's Facebook account accidentally got deleted and with my help, we just couldn't get it back. So we called T-Mobile for Facebook's number. They gave it to us, or so we thought. We called and they informed us that his account had been compromised and that some hacker was using his information on the dark web. The ONLY thing he could do would be to let them, Facebook, take over from there. But there would be a fee. For a 1 year protection plan it would cost him $199.44, for 5 years, $499.99, and for a lifetime of protection, $799.99. I told the man I would talk it over with my friend and we would decide what to do from there.

    I went on the call the 7th precinct in Manhattan to speak to the cybercrime unit. She told me right away, it sounded like a scam. I thought so too. I wondered why Facebook would do something so blatantly illegal?! So I asked my friend to call T-Mobile back and ask a different representative what the number to Facebook was. When he explained to her the situation, she said that was Google's number. So now I was furious! I did a reverse phone number lookup on Google, and in black and white, it stated it was a "BIG SCAM!". This was not the first time T-Mobile told him a faulty number before asking for money to fix his Facebook account because of 'hackers'. I reported them to the BBB, and now to Consumer Affairs. I pray nobody else gets duped out of money from a 'reputable company.' Shame on you T-Mobile!!!!

And if your TMob phone doesn't work, and that's why you need support? Well, that's your problem now, isn't it? You can fly home and walk your way to the nearest store location. Good luck!

    Around the 19-20 of March I contacted T-Mobile about changing my cell phone from AT&T mainly because I could save about $75-$80 per month. 2 days later I received my 3 new phones but did not like 1 of the phones so I requested a trade, which was not a problem. The replacement phone was sent out to my PO Box, which I was told that T-Mobile never sends phones through USPS. About a 10 day later I contacted customer service to get an update on the location of the phone and 2 different times I was told "we do not know where the phone is." They sent another phone out and 14 days after the replacement phone was ordered I received 2 new phones, in which I sent one back.

    Long story short 26 days after the initial order I made the switch and was then told it would take 24 hours for my phone service would not be available for an additional 24 hours. My phones came on last night and that opened another mess. I was told that I would have excellent 4G service and internet. I have NO SERVICE and NO INTERNET! I had contacted customer service on April 5 and requested to cancel my service and was told multiple times that I could not return 2 of the phone because I had passed my 20 day buyer remorse. I could not get them to understand they have not fulfilled their promises and that I didn't even take the phone out of the boxes because I hadn't received the last phone. How could I be expected to know whether I liked the new phones if I couldn't use them.

    I was hoping that T-Mobile would be the answer to high cell phone bills but and you can see it has been a nightmare. I WOULD NOT recommend T-Mobile to anyone after this fiasco. On a side note I have in the last 2 days been talking to LaTonya from T-Mobile and she is working real hard to resolve these issues. She has been an excellent source of help. My only advise for her is that she should find a better company to work at.

    I have been with T-Mobile prepaid for 15 years in NY. Back in 2004-2006 they were probably the best wireless company in terms of customer service, trying to get market share and brand recognition. Their signal reception and network coverage was rated as average to pretty good, up until about 2012-2014 probably. Since then, both customer service and product/wireless service have fallen off a cliff.

    1. Signal strength in midtown Manhattan is practically a joke. Go to cellreception.com, enter a ZIP code and you'll see the reviews. People have to go outside of buildings hoping to get 1-2 bars.

    2. Getting simple, straight answers from T-Mobile is like pulling teeth. For example, if you ask customer service "are calls to 611 and Voicemail charged?" You'll get different answers from their representatives.

    3. Customer service at certain stores is not much better. The other day I walked into the store on Third Ave and 55th Street and upon telling them about the horrendous signal and that I've had the SIM card for 12 years (indicating how long I've been a customer), they blamed my phone. Their exact wording was "We don't support this phone(!)" Am I supposed to educate them about wireless? It's prepaid and it's GSM phone, it's supposed to work with any prepaid GSM card.

    4. Website design and engineering leaves a lot to be desired. Last month the twice requested email to reset my password never arrived, Today the "My T-Mobile" account page would not load. People could not log in to their accounts for hours. See attached.

    Yep, "something's definitely not right," T-Mobile. Perhaps some execs from parent company in Germany need to come and clean up the mess.

    I have 3 phones with Sprint, no real issues until I moved to an area where they have no towers close enough to be able to use their services. I have spoken to technical support multiple times & there is no way to resolve the problem. I have no choice, except to switch to a different mobile service provider. My problem is in getting any response on getting early cancellation fees waived on the facts there is no way to continue service with Sprint as there is no service in my new home town. I would have to pay $900 in penalties if I return the 3 phones & over $2000 if I choose to keep the 3 phones. This is a real inconvenience as I have no other options than switching service providers.

    In the last couple months their poor service deteriorated even more. Did renew for a couple more months, based on the T Mobile clerk telling me they were installing updated towers, and service would be better than before in early April. What a lie. For the last two weeks, unable to make or receive a phone call, send text with picture, and had to go into the street, to try to get one bar. Cancelled and asked for money back because they could not provide service they were taking bucks for. They refused to refund anything, even though they could or would not provide even basic service. Smells like fraud. Has anyone contacted the FCC or Attorneys general for their state on potential fraud charges? Taking money for promised services or goods, and not delivering, is a crime.

    I initially changed to T-Mobile because of their cheap plan to travel internationally. On that note, the company did have a good package and even though I was without service for couple of days (nobody knew why?!?) the price was very good. That being said, that’s the only positive thing I have to say about this company. I switched companies in November, lead by the international package and a promotion where I would buy an iPhone and would get also the iPad. Well, not only I did not receive the iPad on time before I had to travel out of the country, I just never received it! After hours spend with T-Mobile, several complaints and a lot of headache, my package was lost by UPS. An associate then told me to cancel the delivery from UPS so they could make any necessary changes in their end. Well it turned out, they couldn’t. The iPad got returned and I ended up with no iPad.

    I complained several times and spoke to several people, nothing got done. No follow-up was never made and I got one incompetent associate after the other. Wait, it is not over... When back to the US (and without the iPad), I noticed I was being charged for the iPad line. I called, canceled and got a credit for the next cycle. A month later, I get the bill, the iPad is still there. I called again. 3rd month, guess what? Oh yeah, the iPad is still there... I just called this week for my 4th time to cancel the iPad I never ever received!!! I just don’t understand how a company can be so misleading and disorganized and still be in business. What upsets me most is the disrespect with my time and my money.

    I really wish there was a regulator for companies like T-Mobile so situations and disrespect like this would never happen to a consumer... in the end of the day, nobody was doing me a favor, I pay for this awful service! I was not crying about an iPad, I was disappointed because I was made a promise and never got what I was promised. I will never do business with this company again, will never recommend it to my worst enemy and will ever have any good thing to say about this company. Put your money and time elsewhere, at a company that at least knows what they are doing.

    T-Mobile is comprised off the biggest liars and thieves on the planet. Believe the stories. If I was told that T-Mobile was actually a front for the Devil, and made most of its money dealing in human trafficking, forced child labor, and supplying illegal weapons to third world dictators, I would completely believe it. Signed up for 2-for-1 special in Fall of 2018. The Offer stated you had to turn in your old phone first. Five days in and there is a major security breach...10% of T-Mobile's customer accounts get hacked, including mine. I was forced to stay with them because my wife's old phone was now on a boat headed to Nigeria along with 5 year old American Baseball jerseys. As stated by others, their cellular coverage is terrible; bordering on comedic. But my biggest complaint is their corporate policy. I've going to itemize everything for the sake of simplicity:

    1) They routinely over-bill and try to cheat you out of money at every conceivable opportunity. They doubled the amount owed on my balance and then pretended like it never happened. They also stuck me with a Samsung phone that was incompatible with Sprint and Verizon without telling me (a tactic they use to prevent people from leaving them for another carrier). After paying off my phone I was forced to go to AT&T because they were the only other network provider that was compatible with my T-Mobile Galaxy Note 9.
    2) Reaching a representative on the phone can take forever. Half the time you end up talking to some outsourced low level grunt on the other side of the planet who sounds like they have a mouth filled with marbles.
    3) The customer support personnel are also trained to stonewall the customers. You'll waste half an hour explaining the situation to someone and their response will always be "I can't do anything." Then you have to speak to a manager and repeat the entire story again. Sometimes you end up doing this three times as you move from tier to tier up their corporate dung ladder.
    4) They Lie. They lie. And then they lie some more. They routinely delete memos, customer audio logs, complaints, and everything else that makes them look bad. When you bring previous phone calls to their attention they pretend it never happened and act like you're the crazy one (I had to download a recording app for my phone just to protect myself).
    5) They intentionally meddle with peoples accounts. They throttle data and restrict phone access even if you're fully paid. Sometimes they do this purely out of revenge if you have the audacity to call up and complain. I've literally had managers hang up on me when they ran out of lies...then they intentionally restricted my phone service to cover their tracks and pretend that hanging up on me wasn't a deliberate act.

    6)They will do EVERYTHING in their power to stop you from leaving. When it comes to getting the unlock codes to the phone (you know...the one you paid off) they will stall as long as possible. They even changed my private login codes to my account...then a AT&T representative had to spend two hours helping me switch my number! After finally ridding myself of these demonic children I was sent a bill for $15 dollars the following month, even though they assured me my debt was fully paid. And when I mentioned how T-Mobile deliberately changed my account login information to push me into the next billing cycle they lied about that also!!! Honest to God, avoid T-Mobile like the plague. I hope this corporation gets what's coming to them.

    I have been a customer of T-Mobile for nearly twenty years. The customer service was never great, but when I switched to Sprint to take advantage of the free year I learned what truly bad customer service looks like. I was originally told my phone was unlocked, but after porting to Sprint it turned out it wasn't. I called T-Mobile repeatedly and over the course of two days, with a non-working phone, I was given conflicting information, misinformation and in the end it will likely be a full four days until my phone is unlocked. With other carriers offering great deals, better than T-Mobile, there is no reason to settle for appalling service. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere for your phone service provider.

    I have been a customer of T-Mobile for about 15+ years. My son recently started working for Verizon and switched us all over to Verizon for the discount benefits. I really had no other reason for leaving T-Mobile except for the fact my son wanted to pay for our phone service. This was the beginning of my nightmare. We had our numbers ported over to Verizon 3 days into the new billing cycle at the end of January. I should have received a paper bill for the December to January cycle around the beginning of February. I never received my bill instead I received a past due notice near the end of February.

    I called requested a summary bill which I received at the beginning of March. On March 9th I received the next bill for the January to February cycle which included my past due balance for Dec – Jan cycle and a full month’s service for the Jan – Feb cycle. On March 11th I received a letter from a collection agency for the total amount due. This started the series of phone calls, lies and empty resolutions from T-Mobile. First, I was told that they read me a disclosure stating that I would still be responsible for the entire month of service.

    My next phone call I was told that my account was not in collections and that they would review my account and someone would call me back in 3-5 business days. No return phone call. Next phone call I was told I had to wait for the system to recalculate my bill which would not be generated until the end of the billing cycle on March 26th. March 29th, I received another past due balance for the Jan-Feb billing cycle. I called again and they still had not prorated my bill for the 3 days of service. This time they stated they were working on it as we spoke. April 4th, received the bill that was generated from the close of the March 26th billing cycle. Called again, received the usual apologies and please hold while I open your account.

    My son called and thought we had it all straightened out but that was false hope. He was disconnected during the call. We waited about an hour and then called back. This time they were going back and forth and stated that I still owed the original amount billed. They put me on hold again several times. They came back and said the original amount was a valid amount owed because I had a history of late payments and had an outstanding balance from November. This was not true, I have all my receipts and if my payments were late, I always paid any late charges associated with my bill.

    I handed the call over to my son who took over the call and then they told him that line about the disclosure and having to pay the entire month of service. I am thankful to my son who has been a T-Mobile Sales Rep and now a Verizon Sales Rep and knew the policies. He worked with T-Mobile and got the account prorated and I ended up being billed only for the 3 days of service that I owed. Before this whole experience I would have considered returning to T-Mobile someday but now I will never return to T-Mobile.

Every time I have called back they state without the PIN they cannot help me. This is 2019 I have an account # with my name on it, but they can't or will not help.

None of the changes are made to the account. Right now, this is my last alternative to get my account rectified. First, when I took full responsibility of the account T-Mobile incorrectly spelled my name which I had no access to the account and I had to wait weeks in order to set up an online account. After several calls, I went into the Southfield T-Mobile and provided my identification and was informed my name has been updated and well at least I thought the information updated. I’m still not shown as the primary account holder also, when I sign into my T-Mobile app the name Latricia is still showing on my account.

    The beginning of the year we partook in the promotion for the iPhone XR and was informed that there was going to be a free line and a credit for the device over the next 24 months. I was charged for both lines on the February bill which was paid and the credit was applied to the account for the XR device. In February, my sister visit the store and was assured that it was a free line and the fifth line was our month to month duty which gave us six lines. Now we are only using 4 lines. The upgrade promotion was still on the account and there was need to worry. I went to the Southfield T-Mobile location to make sure I was the primary account holder and that I was not being charged for any additional line other than the iPad data plan and was told I was all set, my lines were on the discount account and to my surprise my checking account was being debited additional $189.84 from T-Mobile in the month of March.

    Ladies & Gentleman, Do not ever ever deal with T-Mobile in general, however, if something still made you interested and that hopeless journey, certainly and by all means do not borrow anything from them (i.e. devices to improve cell signal reception in your living place). That’s what typically being offered whenever you report weak reception at home, which is quite common to T-Mobile. Rather than invest into better network coverage they do it like that. I haven’t done any studies to see how many other people affected with the similar story, but I am sure I am not alone with this.

    I’ve been T-Mobile customer twice and both times was stupid enough to get engaged with their offering of ‘signal boost’ devices. First time it was actual router they gave me and when I decided to part ways with them they wanted to router back obviously. They’ve sent me a return kit and I happily sent the router back. Few week later invoices started to come with router value showing as outstanding. I do not exactly remember how I got this fixed first time. Certainly couple phone calls and emotional talks with T-Mobile reps and finally they acknowledged that I’ve returned the device and I don’t owe nothing. This experience was already indicative and I made myself a note to be more careful next time (i.e. keep records of me returning device and all associated emails). Well, that didn’t help.

    Here is the second story. Once again I stupidly decided to engage with T-Mobile and of course since nothing changed with their cell signal quality, they offer another ‘signal boost’ device. This time it was so called “4G Cell Spot”. Fast forward about 9 month from that, I decided to change carrier. Same story repeated. They wanted their CellSpot back obviously and I was ready for potential issues but apparently not well enough. On July 9th 2018 they sent me two emails. One to inform about “CellSpot cancellation and the need to return it within 30 days” and second one about the return kit that was sent my way to return it. I have waited for the return kit for couple weeks and begin worried about the 30 days deadline, I have called T-Mobile myself. They basically gave me the way to issue another return label so that I could send the CellSpot without waiting on return kit.

    On July 24 2018 I went to UPS store and dropped off the CellSpot and made picture of that with tracking number of the box. On July 26th 2018 I received an email from T-Mobile that CellSpot was received. I have relaxed at that point, but I shouldn’t. Couple weeks later the return kit arrived, which I discarded of course, since I already sent the device out. Few more weeks later invoices with outstanding CellSpot value started to come in. Painful journey has started and after hours of phone calls, 3 visits to stores, assurances that investigation is closed and confirmation numbers given out to support that, I ended up with collection agency and 1 derogatory account that is now spoiling my excellent credit history. If you don’t want to run into a chance, just stay away.

    Needless to say that after collection agency took away the deal, T-Mobile, washed their hands despite the fact that I’ve had all the evidence to prove that I don’t owe nothing. They obviously lost the device within their own premises but chosen to blame the customer instead of fixing their processes. By thy way, attempt to fix this with collection agency itself has failed as well. Those guys don’t even know what they are collecting money for, they just want the money.

My bank records shows one clearly paid by debit card and the other one was after service was cancelled. Like the title says, absolutely unimaginable that T-Mobile can even attempt to get someone to pay a bill they’ve already paid and have bank records to prove it.

I called to get a refund of my existing balance and was advised I need to have an active account to receive a refund. I spoke with agent "Jane" and was transferred to Supervisor "Aries" who said they will not give me a refund even after I explained I was never forewarned of this requirement. Then Aries said I can take the matter up with T-Mobile Legal Department at 12920 S.E. 38th St. Bellevue WA 98006-1350 in Writing. They are effectively STEALING my money where it would be a simple matter to send my refund on MY money.

    I'm being sent a random person's account details and information to my email address. I contacted T-Mobile to ask them to remove my email address from this random person's account and they wouldn't. I went through 7 people and none of them could help. Subsequently I'm still receiving someone's private and personal information, which is annoying for me and a breach of privacy for the other person. T-Mobile should have a policy and procedure in place to solve these data breaches.

    I was with T-Mobile for over 10 years. Towards the end T-Mobile could not give me a plan offer for two that could beat competitors as I was unable to keep up with my plan due to a auto accident I was in. I fell behind 2 payments. I called T-Mobile to pay both payments and my equipment off. Come to find out T-Mobile canceled my acct and sent to collections without notice 3 days prior to my call to them. I paid my back pay and my equipment same day to collections. Since February 2019 and now it is March 20, 2019 and I still can't use my device. T-Mobile keeps giving me the run around between them.

    Lie #1 First we go in to sign up for the veteran plan. We were told it cost more than what the internet stated. After a small standoff and we were getting ready to leave. The rep said the plan we wanted was available. It just didn't have that strong of a hotspot and this is why she suggested the other plan. We finally get through this mess, the rep hands me the iPad to start signing up, it isn't even our phone numbers, she comes up with some excuse, hands us off to someone else and stated, "I don't make any money past this point" and then went to lunch! An hour half later we are finally finished. I receive our 1st invoice statement. It says our monthly charges are $270 not the $100 per month we signed up for.

    Lie #2 Apparently the rep had me sign up for new lines then changed it after the fact, back to the plan we wanted. Well in my opinion the rep just committed fraud, told me I was signing something that wasn't what she stated, lie. I spend 45 minutes with customer service, they research everything, then tell me that I am signed up for the plan we wanted and the charges are what I expected. Great, please send me a corrected invoice. The rep can't. Really? But she states, "Trust me. It is all taken care of." TRUST her! I don't think so, I had already been mislead twice. Oh I didn't mention the rep helping us was the assistant store manager... How pathetic, my ratings are 0 for honesty, 0 for taking care of the customer, 0 for consumer resolution.

    It's so frustrating that I was maintaining an account with T-Mobile and there was one iPhone which I took responsibility by mistake and lately I realized it (between I called them more than 4 times to make this request) and other person to take it back (she called more than 4 times to get it back), she called T-Mobile and they said it will be done in 5 business days. Since then I didn't receive any bill on my line and I thought it's done completely. I moved to my home country and cleared all my bills. After 6 months the address where I lived got a mail saying, "Your account is in collections." I'm so frustrated that I called them and they said, "It's in collections. We cannot do anything for now." I've no option other than calling collections and it's all because of T-Mobile. Never ever recommend T-Mobile to my friends.

    After 5 years with T-Mobile I switched to a different carrier and a new phone (and a new phone number) after learning that T-Mobile executives spent hotel nights at Trump International Hotel and spent $195 million in such charges in order to bribe Trump's administration to approve their merger with Sprint. When I called to verify I canceled the account the tech told me I had to pay for the March statement even if I had not used the old phone at all since March 8th. Well I paid it just to get out of the contract. All I really needed was a flip phone with camera as it turned out, after paying $300 for a smartphone which was little more than an albatross. I got spam calls and text messages from people I did not even know. I put the old number on the do-not-call list and the spammers ignored that. So now I have a new number and a better phone, and I pay half what I used to per month. Goodbye T-Mobile. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

I was on prepaid before with different providers and this never happened. Prepaid is no contract and can be terminated anytime. I was so disappointed.

    I have been a T-Mobile customer for many years. I love the cellular service and I have 6 personal devices that I pay a monthly bill for. I actually believe it is the best cellular service available. As for their customer service, well that's an entirely different matter. T-Mobile customer service is the second worst customer service in the industry. The worst customer service is A-t--e but T-Mobile is a close second. They Lie and deceive their customers and do not take responsibility or ownership in anything where they dropped the ball or LIED to their customers. They run promotions and giveaways to entice new and current customers into their stores only for them to find out they were LIED to and deceived. This is a weekly process that they call a marketing tool. I call Lack of Candor and shameful on behalf of the company and their CEO.

    They have a great product and service. They do not need to conduct business in a deceitful manner. When you ask to escalate your complaint they fall short every time. In my opinion T-Mobile gets a TWO THUMBS DOWN and I will be personally reviewing my options and probably switching to either Verizon, AT&T or Sprint. It's not about the cellular service or the product, but rather about respect for their customers which they DO NOT HAVE!!!

    If you are thinking about where to spend your money when it comes to your cellular company go elsewhere as T-Mobile will not value you as a customer. This is my professional evaluation of my interaction with T-Mobile after multiple customer service problems that they have no desire to resolve and continuously fall short and do not care if you remain a customer because you have no value to them and therefore no reason to resolve your issue.

    On December 16th, 2019. I opened up an account with T-Mobile because I was traveling overseas and needed the international plan. Prior to opening up the account I spoke to the online reps concerning the prices. They told me that it's $50/month for the international plan. I asked how much in total? They told me I would only be paying for the international plan since that's what I'm using. Fast forward in the T-Mobile store. I opened the account. My bill came to $120/month! I was angry because this wasn't what we discussed online. BTW, I had my own T-Mobile phone already. They only told me the price AFTER I signed all documents and gave my bank information. I cancelled the account the very minute they told me that nonsense.

    Two months later I saw my bank statement on February 20th from T-Mobile for the amount of $245!!! I called them immediately for a refund. After 24 hrs my refund would be declined. According to them, the account has to be cancelled for over 30 days before a refund can be issued. Just imagine, I cancelled on the same date it was opened. But T-Mobile waited until February 11th to cancel the account officially. Why?? So now the 30 days is up and it's time to get my money back. T-Mobile told me I have to wait a full billing cycle before I can get my money back!! And the games never end!!! Don't go to T-Mobile... Trash company with a bunch of thieves!!

    Recently became an iPhone user. Researched all plans and went to the stores to clarify. T-Mobile was offering new iPhone to new customers (commercial every twenty minutes). Other carriers were offering free older model iPhone at the same time. My goal was to get lowest monthly plan. I signed with T-Mobile and got a free iPhone which turned out to be an iPhone 7. I qualified for 55 unlimited. The price was 55 a month 50 with autopay. I have now been getting calls from T-Mobile that my plan does not exist. The cost is actually $89 a month. I am now required to pay for free promotion phone at price I could have paid for new phone from other carriers at lower amount. According to their retention department there is also a data fee and unlimited means something else. I explained the plan I signed up for and they said it does not exist and it is too late to opt out of service and therefore their no contract claim is false.

    T-Mobile continues to call me telling me my plan is 89 dollars a month. Apparently there was an error the plan and promotion I received does not exist. I now am stuck with their error and have to pay 89 a month. Not only am I being forced to pay for their error and false advertising. I missed out on two promotions for service at lower cost from two other carriers. In addition to the harassing phone calls I am forced to watch their fraudulent commercials every twenty minutes. Beware the 55 one unlimited plan does not exist! Do not accept a free phone on promotion they will charge you! They charge the agreed amount for first two months and then start the increase. I did catch it last month but store manager said it was a website thing. Customer service said someone gave me a manual credit although he denied.

When you call them you get someone that definitely doesn't speak English as a first language because you have to repeat everything and don't understand anything that they say which is fine except then they get mad at you for it.

    If I could give 0 stars I would. I rarely get irked enough to write a review for anything. They are going to shut off my current line because I've been in roaming range " too much." I live in Maine, an area with limited T-Mobile service, and as such I almost never use data. I only use WiFi, unfortunately the few text messages I send when not on WiFi seem to be enough for them to threaten to shut off my line.

    Honestly their customer service was very polite albeit unhelpful but that isn't really their fault. If anything this is a deeper issue with a company that won't expand coverage or have a reasonable solution to having customers in remote areas. It doesn't help that on top of paying out the lease on my phone (to unlock it) there is another $160+ fee. I will never be doing business with T-Mobile again, I suppose one positive to take away from this is don't lease your phones and don't do business with T-Mobile.

After waiting for the 72 hours, in fact, more than 72 hours, on day five I called again. The agent said that he will take care of my ASAP request. He tried to find out if my request was done. Then he said, "I am sending you a text with the instructions to unlock, but wait until you get the e-mail from Apple stating that the device is unlocked." I wait two to three more days.

    Here I am calling again on day 9, and the guy who attended my call assured that the unlock was done. He instructed me to reset to factory my iPhone after backup. So I did! Then to verify is unlocked I tried by using one of the recommended methods (another sim card), guess what? Nothing! My phone was not unlocked. Here I am again calling T-Mobile experts. This guy said he had to resubmit my unlock request to Apple, and sent the request confirmation e-mail.

    My daughter purchased a phone outright to connect to T-Mobile's service. She decided it wasn't any better or cheaper using the same benefits so she terminated it after just a few days. The representative she spoke to said it would be cancelled like she never had service because she had it less than 5 days, but would have to wait until after the 15th of the month when they charged my credit card to then request a refund. She received a bill like it was still connected so we called again. They said it would charge then credit back & it did. Then we receive another bill for $145 for the $70 that was credited plus a late fee and the next month's charges.

    We called again & the rep apologized, removed my cc from the autobill system & confirmed he had everything cancelled yet again. Today, after 3 months of arguing... my young daughter receives a collection notice from Convergent for $86.21. T-Mobile is the WORST CELL COMPANY I'VE EVER EXPERIENCED. As a financial advisor, I've instilled the importance of establishing good credit so this has been even more frustrating since SHE HAS NO CONTROL OVER THIS FRAUDULENT BILLING PRACTICE.

    I contacted T-Mobile representative regarding my son's phone only able to talk on phone via Bluetooth and not thru the handset. He could play his music fine and go on the internet however could not hear when answering the phone. He had just finished paying it off when this happened. After trying various troubleshooting updates, backups, reboots, the problem still existed. The representative stated that it sounded like a software issue and that since she felt that people are not told about the importance of extending warranties she would add on the extended warranty for $13 and initiate the process. I had asked her if it would be better to take it into the store and she stated that it would be better to mail it in so that I didn't get a hassle about the warranty.

    We did receive the replacement phone on the 14th. I immediately placed my son's phone in the return box and sealed it up and returned it on the same day. I checked the tracking and it was received at their Texas facility on Feb 19th. I then received an email at 11 pm Feb 23rd stating that I was going to be charged $438 as the phone was never received. I contacted a T-Mobile associate once I got home from work and read this email at 10 pm, so do believe they were out of the country as I could hardly understand their accent.

    I gave the associate the UPS tracking number and she saw for herself that it had been received in Texas on Feb 19th. She told me that she was going to put in a report with support and that I would not be charged as the returned phone was received. She told me that I would be receiving an email from support. I waited for an email and checked on Monday Feb 25th and never received an email from Support. I checked again on Tuesday Feb 26th and saw that my account had been charged $443 for out of warranty phone.

    I then contacted T-Mobile customer service, once again after work at 10:30 pm and of course got someone out of country again. After explaining everything to him he referred me to a supervisor. The supposed supervisor stated that the phone we returned had been determined damaged, but she didn't know what type of damage was determined and I would have to wait until the next day for her to find out what type of damage was accessed.

    I told her that the phone was working fine - it was simply the fact that my son couldn't answer the phone utilizing the handset and only thru his Bluetooth device. I told her that I had been promised that the phone would be covered under the warranty and that is why I agreed to send it back instead of taking it in to a local T-Mobile office so as not to be hassled regarding the warranty. Nothing was ever stated that I could automatically be charged this large amount of money or I would never had sent the phone in. I would have researched another venue as I would not have agreed to this large of an amount for a refurbished phone. I am very upset about the way T-Mobile has handled this by just charging me and never disclosing anything to me about any additional charges.

    On Feb 27th I contacted them once again since I still had not received a return call nor email from the first representative who started this fiasco whom I had also reached out to. I requested T-Mobile to return my son's phone and I will send the refurbished phone back to them. Then I was told that the phone was probably destroyed since it was deemed damaged yet they can't even tell me what kind of damage they are saying was determined.

    When I told the gentleman that they can't simply charge me without disclosing that to me beforehand. He stated that the first representative could not have applied the warranty without having disclosed that information to me. I told him then he could go back and listen to the conversation with her and he would see that she never stated anything about any additional charges. He stated that he would get with his supervisor and that first representative and go over the recorded phone calls and get back to me. I have yet to hear from them and don't believe that I will. I do plan on taking this to the FCC and to court if need be as I believe they are simply running a scam. Since I kept the tracking information and they couldn't charge me for not having truly received my son's phone back they decided to claim that the phone was out of warranty and charge me that way instead.

    There was nothing physically wrong with the phone when we sent it in - simply the issue with not being able to talk on the phone utilizing the handset only via Bluetooth which she stated she believed was a software issue. Don't ever trust T-Mobile. Like so many of these other complaints they are scamming people to try and get money out of them.

    I have been a T-Mobile customer for 25 years. Changed plans with them over the years. Been satisfied. But BEWARE - I recently changed plans within the system to get a better rate. It is so ridiculous that I will just give you the highlights of their incompetence. 3 weeks of going to T-Mobile store to accomplish a simple change. Managers asking T-Mobile employees if they had any training at all. More the a dozen calls all with promises that everything was Ok and it would start within a couple hours. (Every time it was a bold lie.)

    I had to return my booster from T-Mobile so they could replace it with the identical unit because they could not figure out how to just let me keep the original box.

    My account was locked out once I initiated the new account so I could not pay the partial bill due at that time. Got a collection agency bill shortly afterward. (About 10 days) Called them and they said not to pay it until they figure out a final bill. Another false statement. They sent a final bill later. When I tried to pay they would only accept if I added the $21. collection agency fee. I asked them to waive the fee as they initiated and caused all the problems, the answer was NO! Dealing with T-Mobile personnel can be an absolute nightmare. Although there are some employees that are great. I would gauge your odds at 80% -20%. So if you are feeling lucky, spin the 'Wheel of Destiny' and stop in to a T-Mobile store or call them. Good luck.

The sales rep on the phone said that if I traded in my phone and carried service for 2 years that the new phone would be mine free and clear.

No indication about wait time. No option to get a call back. I'm kinda starting to think this is a deliberate tactic. Wait out the caller who wants to cancel.

    Do not switch to T-Mobile, it's a waste of your money! They are thieves and money hungry hyenas. We've been with them 1 month and switched to another reliable and reasonable carrier. T-Mobile internet is the slowest compared to all other companies, they overcharge you for international talk/text/roaming. While abroad their service is even worse due to roaming, internet is so slow you cannot rely on it. I had to use local wifi to use internet. After we switched they also charged us additional $180 for cancelling and switching to another carrier. Fees are different than our original bill and they couldn't provide me a written policy to prove they have the right to charge me for next billing cycle even though we'd cancelled. What's even more interesting our original charge was $135 for 2 lines. On their final bill it went up to $150 plus $30 additional fees for both lines, total of $180.

    T-Mobile is a money hungry company which provides absolutely the worst customer service, worst phone service and slowest unreliable internet service. They do not tell you all the charges upfront and are not clear about their fees when you sign up. Save your money and do not give business to unethical money hungry people who do not know how to provide good service to paying customers.

After 10 minute hold in silence, I was directed to the manager "Chris," just "Chris." He then explained to me the concept of insurance and how it works in a condescending voice. He took 10 minutes implying that I should be grateful for the service. Then he patronizing, asking if I plan to cancel the insurance service right now.

    After using T-mobile for 10 years, this experience compels me to write this review. I want to let people know about bad customer service from one single terrible manager.

For instance, I bought my iPhone outright from a T-Mobile store, yet 18 months later it took FIVE phone calls to customer service to unlock my phone. T-Mobile had misregistered my iPhone serial number as a Verizon phone. Additionally, T-Mobile made me pay a last bill, even though I had shut down service, then turn around and said I had a $69.85 credit, which I was never properly refunded. When I call their Customer Service about the missing refund, T-Mobile was going to make me call Citibank to reissue the check (if T-Mobile had been willing to give me a credit to my credit card number, WHICH T-Mobile HAD ON RECORD, a check never would have been necessary). Horrible, incompetent customer service. Avoid T-Mobile!

After spending 3 hours on phone, they misspelled my incorrect name and when I asked during the same call that the spelling of my name is incorrect, they asked me to go to the store to get it fixed.

I made a phone call I thought was $40, the next morning nearly 24 hours later I get a text telling me my bill is at $973 and I need to call customer service to keep from having my phone turned off.

    So I call to find out I’ve been charged $6 per minute. They put me on hold for over thirty minutes at $6 a minute and when I inquired if I was getting charged they said no, that was not true! Then they shut my phone off anyway! Leaving me with no cell service while I was on vacation. I had to spend my first day of vacation finding a T-Mobile store to turn my phone back on, even though I did everything they told me to do and have never fallen behind on payments they shut my phone off anyway.

    They told me they’d settle the bill for $620, then charged me almost $1300 then said the best they could do was take off $200, then offered me 9 monthly payments of over $200 per month with a downpayment upfront. I told them it’s not just about the money but about the principle! They blamed me, took no responsibility for all of their misinformation, or for the fact that I was never notified within 15 minutes of my rates as I should have been.

Today is 2-1-2019. The SIM card has an expiration date of 6-28-2019... BUT... What T-Mobile won't tell you is that you have 60 days to install it before it goes *poof*... Never mind that the card hasn't expired yet.

    After being shuffled between 4 reps in India and then finally to a US rep and her floor manager, I ended up with absolutely no attempts on their part to make this right by me. They would speak over me, answering any question I had with the same reply that the card had expired and they were happy to send me a new card for $25. Over and over! I'm not sure where they were trained to think that rudeness would be a sure-fire way to turn me into a happy customer. I didn't even get an offer of a $10 refund or $10 credit toward their SIM card that now sells for $25. I can only see that this is a bait and hook scam or consumer fraud. Hey, I wouldn't be so upset if someone had told me I had 60 days or if there had been something in the envelope or within the starter kit packet explaining that, but their failure to inform me doesn't justify ripping me off.

They promised me to take it off and all will be OK. Sure enough, 3 weeks later, I was charged automatically on my debit card the full month fee.

    I called them up and spoke to a rep. T-Mobile refunded me 3 weeks and kept 1 week "for the services they provided". I was OK with it. Sure enough a month later I get a bill for the balance. Called them up... Was told it "will fall off the account" and I should not worry about it. Month later...another bill. Called them up again. Credit department will take care of/ back office!!

    I was a T-Mobile fans and convinced my husband to switch from Verizon about two years. During the switch, the store rep said T-Mobile has improved coverage and we will have no issue using our Verizon S7 phones. After switch, we spent numerous hours talking to the T-Mobile staff for various issues, different staff have different levels of training and offered different theories. Some said it's APN, some said it's sim card, some said it's signal and coverage, some said it's the phone.

    One time a T-Mobile staff transferred the call to a Samsung rep who stated it's not the phone issue. We were confused, exhausted, frustrated, and disappointed. How come the store did not tell us when we switch? How many calls, business, and trips we missed and affected? Our friends and families are frustrated and telling us to dump the phones and the service. The T-Mobile reps tried to convince us to purchase new phones, we felt this is another trap. We just changed the sim cards, still have hope the issue will be resolved.

    When I signed up with T-Mobile I just had ID Theft so chose prepaid as my account. I was told, by several reps, if I paid my bill on time for 13 consecutive months that proved to demonstrate my good credit more so than a credit check. It’s been over 13 billing cycles I’ve paid my account on time. I’ve called T-Mobile 4 times and they're telling me they never heard of such a thing! They're liars. I’m 55 and now eligible to get a lower rate but only if I’m on billing, not prepaid. This company makes me so sick I’m dropping them like a bad habit Monday morning.

    I went to a T-Mobile store to move from a pre paid wireless plan to a post paid wireless plan on Saturday 1/19. My husband and I's number needed to be ported to our new post paid account. The team at the T-Mobile store were absolutely amazing and helpful. However, there was some difficulty porting our number. The associate at the store was transferred numerous times and put in a very difficult position. We were assured the numbers would be ported by a representative. They said it could take up to 24 hours. Fast forward to today 1/23. The numbers still have not ported over. My husband's number is still active on the prepaid account yet mine was deactivated. We have contacted T-Mobile at least 6 times to get this issue resolved.

    All customer service reps were very kind, however none of them were able to find a resolution. Numerous tickets were placed for the software team and no resolution has been found. We were just told "there is no eta on a fix, but it will be fixed." This is absolutely unacceptable that I cannot use my phone or phone number. I utilize my number for my own business. I am losing money daily as I cannot receive my client's calls. I understand that it can take time for a port, but this is ridiculous. Even worse, it seems this is a well known problem that has not been corrected. I am extremely frustrated and disappointed.

I wanted my old phone back and they tried to charge me a 50 dollar restocking fee. I never left the store or put my hands on the phone. After yelling at the staff they gave me my phone... No charge.

    I have two lines with T-Mobile and neither are functional despite having paid for service. I’ve spent the better part of the past three days attempting to resolve this, still have no resolution, and T-Mobile outright refuses to refund my money. Since I’m paying for something and not receiving it, they’re just stealing my money at this point. They’ve meddled with my account so much it’s an absolute mess. I’ve now been charged three times for this month’s service (which doesn’t work) and switched to a more expensive plan without my authorization. Previously, I had to discontinue Autopay because I was being double billed for the old data plan I upgraded from as well as the new one. The billing issues are ridiculous just in themselves, and now my service doesn’t even work. Avoid this company. They’re horrible.

    This is the email I attempted to send to the CEO of T-Mobile using the email address I was given by a T-Mobile customer service rep. I tried to send it 4 times and each time it was refused. Obviously he doesn't care anymore about his customers or customer service than anyone else at that company: "Dear Mr. Legere, my name is Amy ** and I am at a loss as to where else to turn so I decided to go straight to the top of your company. On 5/8/18 my sister and I signed up for the T-Mobile ONE Unlimited 55 plan and purchased two LG V30 phones on a BOGO program. When we made the change we were showed a map at the store that showed coverage in the area where we lived and worked because we both travel for our jobs. We were coming from AT&T and were excited because it was a much better deal than we had at AT&T.

    At first we seemed to have some coverage in certain areas but not that great. By the time I had any jobs in other areas and found out I had no service whatsoever it was past the 14 days. I was even in Asheville, NC which is a pretty large city in NC and I had absolutely no service for talk or text for two days. I decided I had to try to do something. I called T-Mobile and talked to numerous customer service reps for over a period of 5 1/2 hours on one day. I was told they had had complaints from other customers in my area. It was decided by your reps that it would be best if we would cancel the service and be put on an EIP (equipment installation plan) and buy the phones from T-Mobile and take the unlocked devices to AT&T and get the service back from them. They were aware that we were cancelling both lines and buying both phones.

    I was told that the charge per month would be $54.00 which was $30.00 for both phones ($15.00 each) because they were on a BOGO plan and $12.00 per phone for insurance. A few days later I received a later saying that the insurance on the phones was cancelled which brought the monthly fee down to $30.00 which for 22 months was $660.00 but because of payments already made I was told we still owed $638.00 to pay off the phones and close our account. When I received the August bill it was for $668.17. I called and talked to a rep named Renee and I asked if I could break the amount down into a few payments without any additional charges or fees and she said I could so I made a payment of $170.00 on 8/23/18.

    On 9/23/18 a collection letter was sent out that said I owed $532.17 even though I was told I could make the payments. When I called about the letter, I was told in order to break it down into payments I needed to go back to the T-Mobile store and buy a SIM card and that she would call me back after I made the purchase and get the card number in order to set it up on a payment plan. After I did all of this and talked to various reps it was determined that that was not going to work and that it had to all be paid off. So now I had to come up with the $532.17 plus I was out the money for the new SIM card. My sister and I came up with the money and I paid it in full on 10/11/18 and was told by Rey that that was all I owed.

    After making this payment I thought it was over but it was far from it. The next bill I received showed that I owed $566.17 with no explanation as to why. I called and spoke to Marquita who said she had no idea what the charge was for and she said she would have her manager call me on 10/22/18. I never received any call from her manager. I have my phone with me at all times because of my job and I had no missed calls. I called again on 11/15/18 and talked to Fonz and then to Mary Jane, a supervisor and she said she would have her supervisor call me on 11/16/18. Of course that call never came either. Somehow the bill went down to $71.00 and I called to find out what it was for on 11/20/18 and talked to Jameka who said she was located in Charlotte, NC and that she would look into the problem and definitely call me on 11/30/18 so that she could make sure everything had cleared out.

    So now three for three, she also never called me back.One of the problems was that we were being charged for the number associated with the SIM card that they used in an attempt to set up monthly billing which never worked. And I was also being charged for some reconnect fee when I had no service with your company. I have now received a bill that is back up to $571.10. They say this is for the other phone. When I cancelled the service in late May they knew we were cancelling the entire plan for both phones. All the reps I talked to at that time quoted me the same pay off amount of $30.00 x 22 months left to pay off. They knew it was BOGO and they told me that was all we would own.

    I am sure this is not something you normally deal with but I am begging for your help in this matter. I am asking for a credit to my account for all I have been through and to have my account closed once and for all. I have been very disappointed with the lack of concern by so many of your company's representatives who have promised a callback but have never followed through on their promises. I have never had so much stress and anguish trying to get something taken care of in my life. I appreciate any assistance you can give."

    Be careful with these guys. They will offer you deals that they don't honor. This is a shame. They all apologize but don't solve your problem. I was expecting a bill around $120.00 a month and is now $168.59. I called them so they could explain to me the amount and they said they offer me a deal that they were not supposed to offer. "Human error." That's what they called it! This "human error" was made by a manager.

    Be aware. Make sure that you really want to be with this company before you sign any contract. This is a bunch of irresponsible people just trying to play with other people's wallet. I broke my phone and for the first time, I called them. They were supposed to replace my phone which they did with a used, broken phone that I sent back to them... After a couple of months, they decide to charge my account $652.60 which $480.32 plus taxes was for the phone that I have returned to them already.

    Date: July 16th, 2018. After many phone calls, they said they would return my money but what they did was: they kept the money and every month, until now, they are discounting my monthly bill from that amount. Besides that, after all the hours I spent on the phone talking with all different types of employees and managers, comes this manager (I am sure she was ashamed of everything that was going on with my account) and offers me a plan for the people that are over 55 years old (I am 51 and my husband 54) which would bring my bill to about $102.00 a month all inclusive (about $120.00 a month after I added a Galaxy Note 9 and I paid half of it right away).

    I received a text message from T-Mobile to let me know about my next payment and today, I called them to understand why my bill is $168.59 instead of a bill of $120.00 +/- and the explanation is "human error"... This manager should never offer what she offered. They do whatever they want and don't honor their word. I have been with T-Mobile for many years and all of these problems just begin since I claimed a broken phone (I pay the insurance for all these years, never claimed anything) and the first time I do claim I ended up paying for the replacement glass myself because my phone is a very good phone and the replacement that was sent to me was a used phone and I couldn't work with it. That is why I send it back and guess what? All the trouble started since then. BE CAREFUL! SHAME ON T-Mobile.

    We joined T-Mobile 2 years ago. We were told that our phones were free and that our monthly bill would be 120 a month. Our first bill was for over 400. We called customer service and was told that the phones were not free and that this is the standard for 4 lines. I was furious. I went to the store and spoke with the sales rep that signed us up. He explained that the customer service aka headquarters does not have the same info due to their computers and headquarters do not communicate with each other. The sales guy calls them and gets our bill lowered. Ok fine. The very next month our bill is over 300. Go back to the store and once again get a runaround but the bill was lowered. Every month our statements were always high and never the same amount.

    After about six month's of this bs we call them to cancel the service. They told us, "Ok you will need to pay 2500 to cancel." We were blown away. We did not have a contract with them. I asked what that was for and they said, "For the 4 cell devices and the tablet." I said, "We only owe for one phone." When we joined the deal was buy one get one free for the Samsungs. So we had done that. The other two phones were both LGs and they were free. They informed us that in fact they are only "FREE" after two years. So in essence that's why our bills were so high. They had been charging us for all the phones. And the tablet which they said was free.

    Now fast forward our two years are up. We call to cancel the service for three phones and transfer one of the lines to another account. That took 4 days of calling because every time we called we were told it was taken care of. Everything finally got done except now I am due a refund since we canceled in the middle of the billing cycle. That was in Nov and it is now the end of Jan and still no refund. Instead they sent me to collections. I called customer service again. Now mind you since canceling with them I have had to call them now 7 times.

    Here is the biggest issue. You can't go to the store to get things handled in person. Everything has to be done over the phone with people who are incompetent and barely speak English. I still do not have any resolution to this issue. I am supposed to get a confirmation call this coming Tuesday that the collection issue is resolved and my refund processed. We'll see. I'm not holding my breath. Do not join T-Mobile unless you like being lied to and given the runaround.

    Location: 6181 Livingston Rd Oxon Hill, MD 20745. 12/29/18 I go to the T-Mobile store and ask if they would accept my daughter's phone as a trade-in when I purchase the iPhone 8. The salesman, **, refers to a red hair Spanish lady who calls the manager on the phone. After the manager receives a photo of the phone he says he'll accept the trade-in. Between ** communicating with someone on his watch phone, singing, dancing and cursing we were able to purchase the phone.

    The store does not transfer data via cables and there was a lot of data on the phone which was not previously backed up so transferring data was impossible. ** told me that I should go home and try to backup the data on the old phone from home so that when logging into the new phone with iCloud the next day all of the apps, contacts, etc will automatically be transferred. He told us not to touch the phone today, but by tomorrow the new phone will have the transferred number and all the apps and contacts. ** also tells me about a bundle deal if I purchase the screen protector and case together. The bundle is $39.99. I initially say no but go ahead and do it anyway. We go home.

    12/30/18 After being told to go home to increase the storage space so we can upload and transfer the contacts, apps and photos, which never worked... Even when they tried in store via WIFI... NO CABLES??? While in store I inform the employee, "You NEVER put a receipt in the bag." He tells me he used my phone to take a picture of it... Whatever happened to a paper receipt!! In looking at my photos no receipt was there. Mysteriously he's able to print a receipt. On the bill I see he charged me $39.99 for a case and then charged me $39.99 for a screen protector but when he was selling it he said that I was getting both for $39.99 as a bundle. I also noticed a phone number on the bill that wasn't mine and never saw my number on the bill at all... He said that it was the temporary number that you get when pulling existing numbers from a carrier.

    At this point the new phone still is not working with the new number. I also notice on the bill that my phone number and not my daughter's, who the purchase is for, phone number is attached to the items purchased that day... I'm not sure if that's because my phone is the main number on the account. At this point I'm truly frustrated with the service received. A phone purchase should not take multiple days.

    12/31/18 After further looking at my bill I realize that ** did not take anything off the bill for accepting the phone as a trade-in and her phone number STILL has not been pulled over from the other carrier. The old phone is still running and the new phone isn't. I received a call from a T-Mobile rep regarding the number I wanted to pull over because the store rep entered in the wrong number. Within minutes the online rep got the new phone to final have the number and the phone works properly.

    1/1/19 I return to the store because the receipt received does not reflect a trade-in deduction. I again approach the same salesman. I do this because I won't have to explain what happened between myself and another person so I decide to continue to work with him. I ask him to show me where on the bill does it show you accepted my trade-in. He looks at the bill and says he must have forgotten. He tells me there's nothing he can do since the transaction is already processed. He says that I need to come in the next day when a manager is on duty.

    I explained to him me coming in AGAIN is extremely inconvenient. He said that since the transaction is processed only a manager has access to make adjustments and that the manager needs to see the phone in order to determine the amount that will be discounted for the trade-in which made absolutely no sense to me because the manager was not there when I made the initial purchase, so who was going to determine the trade-in amount at that time? Frustrated I decided to ask for the manager's name and number. I leave the store and decide to return the next day to speak with the manager face to face.

    1/2/19 ** informed me that the manager would be in at noon. I arrive at 12:15 and was informed that the manager was in a conference call that would last about 1 hour 45 mins. The lady at the front desk tries to be helpful asking for background info thinking she may be able to help. After briefing her on the situation she relayed the info to the manager. It was decided at that time that he would make a copy of my bill in order to have my account info and the salesperson would look up the value of the phone. Once getting the value on the computer monitor she showed me and she informed me that after his call the manager would apply the credit to my bill and that I did not have to stay. Also she explained to me that when they refer to a "bundle deal" they are offering 2-3 items that you do not have to pay for upfront and will appear on your monthly statement to be paid in increments... Totally not the way ** presented the package.

    1/3/19 In looking at my bill I do not see the credit that the store manager promised to give. I call the store because I notice that on my 12/30/18 receipt that I paid $130 did not even go to the correct phone number so someone else is now walking around with my $130 credit. I call the store manager who when the salesman picked up the phone said was available, but somewhere between finding out who was on the line became busy with a customer and would have to call me back. Let's see how long this takes. Call was placed at 12:46pm. So it's 3:10 and I still have not received a call back from the store manager.

    At 2:11 I started an online chat with a T-Mobile online representative. ***Side note---both online representatives that helped me on 12/31/18 and 1/3/19 were absolutely wonderful and helped fix my problems.*** Today's representative after reviewing the credit that was erroneously applied to someone else's account advised me to return to the store and have them do a refund and then ring up my payment so it can be applied to the correct account. While she was looking at my account I asked her if she saw the credit that the store manager was to apply yesterday and of course she didn't... Even though when I called the store earlier today the manager relayed through an employee that he did.

    After getting this refund I will NEVER return to this location. I will give another location a try due to the superb customer service I received online. When I arrived at the store a female employee tried to assist me and when she couldn't figure out what to do ALL of the female employees worked together to help me and for this I'm truly grateful. By the time I left the store my issue was resolved and I truly appreciate the ladies coming together to assist and they all were professional. At this point, if I have to deal with this location I'll give the ladies a chance.

    I traded in an iPhone under the $750 rebate program for the new iPhone X series. They advertise that you are getting $750 reduction in price for the new phone, but they don't tell you that part of that is the value of the phone you have to trade in. So, in my case, I ended up with a whopping $59 trade for a phone easily worth twice that. Then, they deducted the $59 from the $750 promotion rebate. And that is rebated each month, toward the financed equipment price. So, the end result is that you end up getting nothing for your trade in, and paying more than retail for the new phone. Very deceptive, and not ethical, in my opinion.

    I had a grandfathered plan of the Simple Choice with the added 4g LTR 6 gb of data. Music streaming is supposedly free. BingeOn was enabled and according to the advertisement, explanations, and FAQ, BingeOn should not affect the 4g LTE 6gb of data and that I can tether my phone to my laptop and watch streaming qualifying streaming video without it affecting the 6gb. Great. I get a text message two weeks into the billing cycle saying that I’ve reached my limit. Wtf. So I go to check my data usage and apparently they had been deducting my from my 6gb for the “free BingeOn” video streaming and on top of that the WIFI usage. I’m using WiFi. Not the ** data. Utter bull.

    So I call customer service and she basically steers me to the T-Mobile ONE plan saying that I have 50gb of 4g LTE data I can use and I won’t need the BingeOn and I can watch all the video streaming blah blah blah. Great. So I switch. Also, she explained that when using the WiFi, the phone will automatically switch to data if the connection is weak, which I found out later that my phone has the function disabled so it should’ve only been using WiFi. Anyway, not only am I unable to watch any streaming while tethered to laptop now, I can’t even load ANY streaming sites on my phone and I haven’t even gotten near to using half of the 50gb.

    I called customer service and they explained that ya, when you tether you get throttled to 3g service, which explains why I can’t even load the pages. I didn’t even know at the time when I spoke to CS that streaming wouldn’t load on my phone. They also tried to upsell me the ONE Plus plan for $15 more which would allow me to tether up to 10gb. Something very suspicious about that. In any case, I demanded to have my old grandfathered plan back and had them confirm that the BingeOn should not affect my data usage etc etc. It’ll take 1-2 days to go back into effect. So I’m still waiting on that.

    As I’m researching the internet it turns out there are many others who switch to the ONE plan, whether it’s military or not, and are experiencing the same issue of not being able to load any streaming sites from their phone using data (WiFi it works fine). One customer said they had the ONE Plus plan and it worked fine. The streaming worked for the worker who switched their SIM card into the customer's phone. So basically, they sell you on the ONE plan saying you get 50gb of 4g LTE and you can stream movies from your phone from the streaming sites (YouTube, Hulu, Netflix) but the problem arises that you can’t even load the sites on your phone. Then they try to upsell you getting the more expensive plan so that the streaming will work. It’s a huge scam and I don’t even know if people are realizing this and it seems to be a prolific problem with this company. Something needs to be done to stop this.

    I upgraded because I was told I'd have 20g of 4G LTE Hotspot mobile tethering. This includes HD streaming. In the description it states you can stream HD videos through your mobile Hotspot. This is a scam. After only a few days of streaming a few TV shows each night my actual data plan shot through the roof. On my T-mobile app it shows I've only used 2.2gs of my 20g mobile hotspot allowance. However in my phone's data usage log it show my hotspot has been using 30gs of mobile data. This a scam because sure they give you an allowance of 20g of mobile Hotspot they fail to mention that you'll never reach that because you'll somehow use 30gs of mobile data for every 2gs of Hotspot data. I'm sick of these carriers calling themselves "uncarriers" and advertising unlimited data plans. There is no point in having a data plan if you're throttled to 64kbps after 50 gigs. It's absolutely useless at these speeds.

    We had T-Mobile for a little over two years. During this time we never had good service and called every single month when a bill came out due to erroneous charges. At first their way of fixing it was to simply throw money at our bills. When we told them we would rather pay the bill and have service they still never actually fixed the issue. We were constantly waiting on tech support or someone to call us back, which they never did and the problem was never resolved. Finally I asked them to just get rid of the lines and send us a bill for the equipment charges that were left over. We did not have a contract with them so there should not have been any further charges after our last bill. We never received a bill from them for the equipment.

    Fast forward six months and they had sent us to a credit collection agency for an outrageous bill that we had never seen! When I asked the credit agency about it they said the company stated it had been sending us notices for 6 mos to a made up address, and the email on file for us. Since the email on file was actually correct we went to check it, there was nothing from them since our last bill that we called about prior to cancelling service. No notices, not other bills, nothing. This company instead used the shady practice of debt parking and just sent this final charge straight to a debt collector.

    We are now trying to get this resolved and I am spending more time and energy on something that I should have never had to deal with in the first place. I cannot begin to explain the amount of frustration this company has put us through. This was the biggest scam and waste of my life ever. Please learn from my mistake and do not use T-Mobile, you will regret it.

    Ordered a family plan end of November with international calling and unlimited internet. After activating 2 lines, started receiving international call charges notifications. So called them. Reported the issue, so customer rep accepted the mistake and gave a waiver for international calling for 1 month accepting their mistake. I received a bill with $ 700+ for 2 lines this month, while I called them they are stating that, "Waiver was applied only to one line and not the other line because you called and mentioned about 1 line and not the other line." It's completely ridiculous, while I complain about international charges, how they can add waiver for 1 line and not my account.

    For your corporate store in Waimalu Shopping Plaza in Aiea, Hawaii, I would rate this store a "0". I had to wait 17 minutes to do a 1 minute transaction and that was to pay my bill. I started to take pictures of my experience in the store and this finally got the manager's attention. I think his name was SAM. He was more concerned about me taking pictures and said that he would ask me to leave the store. He told me that I can't take pictures and replied I certainly can. Poor customer service is needed to be shared with everyone. Having been in business operations myself having a customer wait that long for a transaction of this type is poor customer service protocol or business objective. And instead of taking my payment I was asked to leave the store. I have been a loyal customer of T-Mobile for years now and find this type of treatment as hostile and is a result of poor management at this store.

    I had to travel 5 miles to another T-Mobile store where I know has better customer service to pay my bill. The Beretania store near Safeway promptly helped me as soon as I walked in. I was out in 2 minutes. I would rate this store a "10". Your employees should learn to multitask when someone needs to pay a bill. This transaction is not time consuming. Making a customer wait is an exercise in negative goodwill. Your company has taken the convenience of using the pay machines out of the stores so your customers have to go to the counter. Please make this experience more efficient by setting it up as a goodwill priority for your PAYING CUSTOMERS. All customers need to be serviced in a timely manner. A satisfied customer will tell about 10 people about their good service; a dissatisfied customer will tell a 100; and a customer like me will tell 1000's...

    I had T-Mobile for 3 years and was never overly satisfied or dissatisfied with them. But, then, I lost my job very suddenly (Christmas-time. "Merry Christmas, we're closing our doors forever, immediately.") from an employer who would not provide me a severance or any additional support. Suddenly, I'm counting pennies and realize the necessity of cutting down on my bills in every way possible.

    One of my first decisions was to go to a new phone service provider, where I would save about $70.00 a month based on this new company's rates and the service changes I was willing to make. I called T-Mobile immediately and asked them to clarify for me a shut-off date based on what I've paid for (I had been carrying an out-of-state phone number for years, and decided that if I was going to change providers, I might as well finally get a local number. So, if there was time available to contact people using my old phone number and let them know of the phone number change, I was going to use up whatever time I had already paid for). They gave me that date, and I expected my phone to be shut off, ending my relationship with T-Mobile. So far, so good - the representative had helped me with the info I needed and I acted accordingly.

    The shut-off date came and went. But 2 days after the supposed shut-off date, my credit card got charged with another month of service. I got out my old phone from where I stored it (I had already factory-reset it and put it away), and sure enough, the service was still turned on. I immediately called them, explained the previous request detains to a new representative, and he promised me a credit to my card. That call was 2 days ago.

    Now, today, 2 days later - no credit and the phone is STILL turned on. I called again, and this representative basically said I received erroneous info from both of the other 2 representatives and told me that the new charges were what I owed. When I pointed out that his own company's representatives were why I was expecting a first-of-the-year shut off date and a refund for the new charges, he summarily dismissed my concerns with a general expectation that they would be keeping my money and that there would be no other resolution.

    So, essentially, T-mobile is saying they can tell you whatever they want, whenever they want, but that we have no reasonable right to expect them to stand by the information dispensed by THEIR OWN REPRESENTATIVES. All of my expectations were given to me by their employees and every one of those expectations were shattered by a simple statement from a disaffected employee that I was given "incorrect information from previous representatives."

    Even my angry insistence that they stand by the information they have given out to their customers was dismissed. "We do not keep notes of the actual conversations and what was said or promised," the guy said. Really? Because I heard a message just before he picked up the line saying the calls are recorded. AND, his statement implies the potential that he's calling me a liar. Wow, screw me over on money I can't afford AND call me a liar, and all this without even an apology for their misinformation?? DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THEM OR THIS IS WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT!

    In December 2018, I contacted T-Mobile to see if a better plan existed for my 2 line phone plan. Turns out there was a much better plan that would lower my plan charge by $50/month if I went on auto pay. I also would lose Netflix - which I never asked for and never used - getting a much better deal to lose something I never used was a no-brainer. The rep I spoke with said that, if I waited until the cycle ended for the month, I wouldn't get pro-rated charges. Again, not a problem; So I went off with the assumption that once the next billing cycle began, I would see the $50/month decrease.

    To my dismay, I logged onto my account today and found that my auto-pay for January IS NOT at the reduced rate. Called them, and after a lot of rate plan blather about when this would actually take effect and that the higher rate was still valid for this month's autopay, I just hung up. While I was given the impression that my payment would decrease starting January, what they said is that the new plan would kick in in January, and the autopay wouldn't decrease until February. To say this was less than clearly explained when I changed plans is an understatement. I am not happy.

    I've been a customer of theirs for many years, and it is just lately that I constantly have to monitor my bill for charges that shouldn't be there and require a phone call to get them resolved. I don't know what has caused the mindset that seems to dominate T-Mobile now; but perhaps it is time for me to go shopping for another provider. Not that I expect the others to be much better; but perhaps they'll try to work harder to keep a long-time customer. It seems like trying to drum up new business is more important than keeping the customers you've had for a long time happy.

    I've been a T-Mobile customer for over 14 years. We gave my older, fully paid for iPhone SE to my son as his first phone and decided to go with T-Mobile pre-paid, or pay as you go, service. It was a great deal at first, then when I refilled the account by phone, the $40 instantly disappeared in a matter of days. I called their customer service from that phone and after quite a long wait and eventual callback, was told that $20 of that payment "mysteriously" disappeared, so they put it back.

    I started trying to check the phone account more often, but the website showed almost nothing about the account, not even usage info. Smelling a rotten egg, I researched Verizon and it sounded like a much better deal. I soon learned while trying to port his number over that the iPhone SE was locked. We'd never had to unlock a phone before, but I had to go to T-Mobile to have it done. I tried calling customer service at T-Mobile that evening, got immediately put on hold to be transferred to the terrible pre-paid service again. After 15 min. on hold, hung up as I needed to head out.

    Next morning, called customer service with my phone (on a post-paid plan) and the much nicer, more sincere cust. rep answered immediately. She explained the pre-paid phones have a different customer service to assist, and she only could help with post-paid. She also said it's no secret that customer service for prepaid is indeed a joke. Later that day, I went into the downtown Seattle T-Mobile store and a few helpful employees (Mani mainly) took around an hour to figure out how to just send a request to unlock the phone. Their primary concern are post-paid "normal" plans, not prepaid, so it took quite an effort for them to even find my phone in their records to start the process.

    Eventually they completed the unlock request, saying I'd get an email from whoever unlocks them. All they left me was a reference number, no actual official paperwork with any details or explanations on what happened next. Just said, "it'll take up to 24 hours to get that email". They also agreed the pre-paid customer service a completely different animal in terms of service from post-paid.

    24 hours later, nothing, so I went back to the same store to check. The same customer service rep, Mani, challenged that it hadn't been 24 hours yet, claiming I'd come in a few hours later the day before when I knew I hadn't. He checked, seemingly dismissive as to why I was in his face, and said no info yet. All he could do. And that if I had called customer service, they could tell me the same thing.

    After that, I stopped worrying about it, seeing from google reviews that sometimes this could take days. Then about 40 hours after the unlock request that fabled email finally arrived. Excited, I followed the steps and it didn't work. Not a lot of options on how to fix this, I called T-Mobile post-paid customer service as Mani suggested. The very nice woman said she had no info for me and refuted Mani's suggestion that she could help me. But she dug in and together finally pulled up info - only it was just the same email I'd gotten. I appreciated her hour with me on the phone even though no solution was evident except she told me I should go back to the T-Mobile store to get help again.

    Eventually I figured out the solution on my own and got the phone unlocked. Two store visits, a handful of phone calls, and a useless website over four days was a bit of a nightmare just to simply unlock a phone. It seems T-Mobile is just too big - to completely offshore the pre-paid service to a company woefully inadequate compared to its post-paid service astounded me. I wondered how they keep any business. Sure, they seem to have lots of bonuses, "free" phones, etc., but if you try to switch, good luck. Congrats to Verizon on your new customer. After this exercise I'll be better prepared when I leave T-Mobile soon.

    Nothing but problems since I joined them 3 years ago. I have one phone that’s on “jump” which is basically a phone lease. Once that lease is up, you can opt to extend payments to keep it and pay it off, or you can trade it in for a new phone. I opted to keep it and did what was necessary to extend the payments. In September I get a $400 bill. I was told they never received the documents I e-signed to extend the payments and they would call me back after they research my options. Over a week later they call me and tell I’m ineligible to extend payments and needed to pay the bill with the cost of the phone included. All they could do was split up the bill into 8 month increments of $50. I agreed.

    Now, In December I’m getting a $275 bill. I called and they said I have to pay the $50 payment plan agreed upon plus I still need to pay the $20 device rental I initially tried to sign up for, and they said I was ineligible for back in September. The rep I talked to in September did NOT tell me this and the rep I spoke to in December acknowledged this. So I’m paying $20 for the phone AND an extra $50 for the phone AND the bill from September... How does this make sense?! An extra $70 a month when all I owe on the phone is $163.

    I never got any communication about this, and apparently they credited my account in October $197, which I had no idea about because I’m enrolled in auto pay and assume that the payment is automatically made the same way it has been for nearly 2 years. So they blamed me for no payment in October, even though it should have been taken out and they said a letter was sent to my address. However once I again I received nothing. I offered to just pay the phone off at this point, but the rep said I’d still have to pay the $50 for the next 7 months because that’s what was agreed upon. Basically I would pay for the phone and continue to make payments for the bill from September and the phone, I’d be paying double what I actually even owe. I’ve always paid my bill on time, I’ve done everything T-Mobile reps instructed me to do and somehow they are charging me more. Once my phone is laid I’m off, I’m leaving and never going back.

This is the first time I have written a review that was not a complaint, but I do think they have achieved an ethical model at a fair price... Old school!

    We had a family plan with 2 phones for almost a year, one of which was for my disabled spouse. Prior to joining the family plan, my husband was a loyal T-Mobile customer on an individual plan and had no issues with his phone. After the T-Mobile rep suggested that we set up a family plan, my husband's phone stopped working instantly. When we got home from the T-Mobile store, he was no longer able to receive calls or make outgoing calls from inside the house. Anytime he received calls from the doctor, he had to schedule them and was forced to go outside to sit in our vehicle for the duration of the call. Again, he is disabled and this was a HUGE hassle. I was also not able to reach him via phone, when he was at home by himself, because his phone did not receive incoming calls. This meant that I had NO way of contacting him in the case of an emergency, or vice-versa.

    For the next 6-8 months we spoke with countless T-Mobile reps and technicians and a handful of supervisors (i.e. Jill, Arias, April, etc. ), all of whom made promises they didn't intend to keep. They told us what we needed to hear, to get us off the phone. We were promised only a hundred dollar refund for paying full price for a family plan that only had ONE working phone the entire time. They refused to prorate the bill, in any way, knowing that the phone never worked while on the family plan. We received 2 SIM cards that still did not correct the issue. They blamed my husband's phone which was the same phone he used with his individual T-Mobile plan,in the previous months.

    The fact of the matter is that, the phone did not have any problems until the T-Mobile rep tried to configure it for a family plan. We even asked if they could send over another phone, an older less desirable model, if that would be easier. T-Mobile refused and wanted us to purchase a brand new phone. Many of the reps that we spoke with (well over a dozen reps now) seemed to purposely avoid making note of the issue on our account. Each time we called, they made us explain the whole ordeal over and over, while they pretended to have no knowledge of it. Even after stating that they'd make notes on the acct, once the call ended. We normally spoke with customer service a few times a month, to see if any further progress had been made. After all, we had the same ongoing issue from day one.

    The only thing that the reps managed to fix was the phones ability to receive texts and the web access was still touch and go. It was completely unacceptable. We finally got tired of the games and switched to a new service. About two weeks ago, we noticed that T-Mobile had gone into my bank acct and charged us $173. I spoke with a supervisor and explained that we no longer had the service, along with all of the other unresolved issues. The supervisor promised to refund the money to my account and to remove my info from autopay, since I no longer authorized T-Mobile to have access to my bank acct. We were even given an refund reference number.

    They refunded the money and then took the same amount of money out AGAIN, from my other bank acct, this week. Since December 10, 2018, I have spoken with at least 5 additional reps (one of which pretended to be a supervisor to avoid transferring us to a REAL one) and 1 actual supervisor named, Arias, who was not helpful at all. Leine, one of the More recent T-Mobile reps, was completely professional. She did not even attempt to listen, laughed and played games on the call. We were on the call with Leine for over 30 minutes, and we asked to speak with a supervisor at least 8 times. Each time, Leine refused and ignored the requests, until we notified her that her behavior was unacceptable and we would be contacting the BBB and corporate. At that point, she said, "She (she being the manager) is on a call." I asked if "she" was the only manager there, and Leine stated that there were "a lot of different managers" there.

    I said, "Great, then one should be available now." Leine assured me that she would to put me in touch with a manager and then transferred me to a rep named, Monica, who tried to pretend to be someone of authority. When we asked what role she played in the company, she stated that she was just another rep. Leine was apparently still listening in on the line. Leine finally transferred us to an actual manager named, Arias, who had a demeanor as if he were the dissatisfied customer who had been jerked around for the past 6-8 months. Arias flat out said, "There's nothing I can do."

    So, I'll be contacting several people regarding this issue. Maybe even the consumer segment on the local news. T-Mobile has done those to too many people and they need to be held accountable for their actions. The reps believe that there will be no consequences for their behavior, since the customer service department is not located in the U.S. So, they are fine with providing service that is less than satisfactory. After all, who can really penalize them, other than the company itself? They are, by far, one of the worst wireless service providers I've ever encountered. I have no problem with outsourcing, at all, just be sure that your customers are receiving quality service. Otherwise, you won't be able to retain them.

    On December 3rd 2018 they ported my number from One prepaid plan to another. It's now December 12th and my number has still not been ported. Every time I call them they tell me so it's coming soon. I was lied to so many times. The customer service agent told me that the reporting should take about two hours at the most. Just the worst. They offered me one month credit for the inconvenience. I have filed a report with the Better Business Bureau. I don't know if it will do any good since this company has such bad reviews other places. Be careful.

    I have been with T-Mobile for 19 years. They have not given me any rewards or bonuses for being a loyal customer. I have 3 lines with them and pay my bill every month but my bill is extremely high. When I get an upgrade on 1 of our phones there is ALWAYS some type of fees that they say would be subtracted every month, but no it is added on my bill every month. They sold my family a tablet and told us it was a TABLET ON THEM, but that was a lie. I am still being billed for that tablet EVERY month.

    T-Mobile is nothing but a scamming company. They DO NOT reward their customers AT ALL. My son and me were in the store upgrading his phone and the store rep had us in there for 3 hours. She shopped for 2 screen protectors and 2 phones cases for us. All totaled $120.00. It WAS my fault for not asking about the prices but we were in there for 3 long hours. I have never bought accessories from T-Mobile and did not know they were that high. I will be leaving that provider after I pay off my HUGE bill with T-Mobile.

    I wish I knew better than to have T-Mobile as my service provider, they always made me go in debt!!! I was told how much I would pay monthly when I first signed up. Little did I know that they were just telling me a lie! My monthly bill would change EVERY month, and EVERY month I would call them just for them to credit my account and guess what? I would still have to call which got annoying. It got to the point where I told them I would switch mobile providers and they ended up paying my bill. But I have since left T-Mobile now. I would not suggest this company to anyone, they are a bunch of scammers. They always have hidden fees! *** ALSO you will be on the phone with them for HOURS just to get a problem resolved and they end up hanging up on you! They are a total waste of time.

    I am in the military and T-Mobile refuses to unlock my phone for deployment. Yes it is paid off! Do not waste your time or money on them. Their reps have also lied to me stating that something was free while I was secretly being charged for it for months. Very unprofessional.

    I contacted T-Mobile on a Friday to make arrangements to pay off the least to purchase on two handsets. I was given two different dollar amounts, one for each handset. I made two separate payments while I had T-Mobile on the phone. I was told it would take a day or so to process the payments. On the following Monday, I contacted T-Mobile, first by chat (complete waste of time - the agent simply went away and never came back). Then I used the "Call me" option from their website.

    T-Mobile acknowledged that they had received the monies. They also told me that they had "messed up" and had no way to apply the monies they had received towards paying off the two handsets. They said the only thing they could do was to refund the monies back to me, and for me to start the whole process over from scratch. I refused the refund for the moment, since accepting the refund would put all the effort to make this payoff happen back onto me. For a multi-billion dollar company like T-Mobile to be unable to process a lease to own payment.

    This is a scam company. Network coverage is terrible, the network works well only in the city, if you travel a long way away, change your carrier. I switched to another telecoms operator and saved my number, so T-Mobile drove me into debt like for another month of use ($75), and not talking about it! If I knew this, then I would not have left this phone number for myself. Very expensive internet and very few gigabytes.
