My husband and I had the misfortune of having T-Mobile for one year too long! Our first experience with T-Mobile was an employee that not only sold us a stolen phone but promised us a rebate for a phone that never came. When we called about the rebate, it never existed. Our paperwork was a fraud. So then we had to buy a new phone since the stolen one stopped working. We ended up paying at least 50 to 80 dollars extra a month for no reason at all and no one could give us a straight answer. Service is AWFUL! They sent us a signal tower that never worked. Always some sort of hidden fee and now that we changed serviced they told us last minute that they DO NOT prorate so we have to pay all our bill for 7 days of service. Awful customer service, shady fees and unreasonable prices. STAY CLEAR.

I signed up with T-Mobile (5 lines) around August of 2018. After realizing that the service wasn't great where I live, I ported four of my numbers to AT&T then canceled one. At that point, I expected to receive a final bill and settle everything. In late November I notice that my card was still being charged so I called them up. I was on the phone for an hour before being told that the line would be canceled and I would be refunded the almost $500.00 I was charged.
After a month or so, I noticed that they only refund me $100.00. Upon calling back, the call taker was absolutely horrible. She told me that there was still an active line on my account and initially claimed that there was not record of me calling to cancel. After going back and fort for a while, she miraculously found that record of me calling to end service a month prior. She then insist that I would need to pay more money to T-Mobile and even went as far as saying that I still owed them money for the current bill.
In all, they charged me around $535.00 after I ported out my four numbers and canceled my single line. I will never do business with this company again! Let this be a warning to all T-Mobile customer: DON'T GIVE THEM ACCESS TO YOU CREDIT/DEBIT CARD! THEY WILL STEAL YOUR MONEY AND GIVE YOU THE RUN-AROUND TO GET IT BACK!

Decent price on plans not best! Metro PCS & T-Mobile same company and different prices on plans??? Don't care about loyal customers. I'm about 15 years with T-Mobile. They don't have any deal on phones for long time customers. They just care about new clients.

Left T-Mobile last summer, after being on a road trip across the country. Had horrible service throughout the trip. Got home, told T-Mobile about it. Instead of trying to resolve the issue the rep told me I need a new phone. So I take my number and switch to a different carrier, by the way I have not had a dropped call and no issues. So I pay the bill of 115.00, then I get another bill stating that I owe them another 100.00 for the phone in order for them to unlock it. So I pay that and thought I was done with them. Nope, I get another bill for less than 30.00 and haven't paid it, because it is for service which I haven't even used and so now they send the bill to collections. So now I have to pay this so I credit doesn't get screwed up. Oh yeah I called them more than once about this and got the runaround. Sad thing is I was a customer of theirs for many years.

My name is Linda, I have been a customer of T-Mobile for years. And right now, I'm furious with the company services. I was mislead by a store rep. I was told by a rep that I was eligible for a new free phone. I explained nothing is free. He stated that I was customer that have paid on time for 10 years. I accepted the purchase over a two years payments. Not! I have just been informed of some disturbing options that had nothing to do with my two years payments. T-Mobile has trained their reps to lie to get customers to pay for something they don't want. This is not acceptable. And someone, should be held accountable, for this sort of practice.

The service is the worst, customer service just as bad. I always experienced Drop calls, so I purchased a new iPhone. The drop calls continued so I desired to go with a different company but T-Mobile would not give me the code to unlock my phone before I stayed as their customer for a minimum of 60 days even knowing I owned my phone outright.

I have been with T-Mobile for two years now. In this two years I have been paying for three lines with this company. I have requested several times to have this third line removed. Each time I am given an excuse as to why this line cannot be removed. There is no data being used. No calls no texts messages no SIM card. It is not connected to any phone and yet I’ve been paying 60$ a month for two years for this line. I have paid more than 4000$ to this company and they are very rude and provide little to no help. It has been a very bad experience and a waste of a lot of money. They have no compassion for their customer and do not want to provide any help for them.

I purchased a phone on Friday. It stopped working so I went to exchange it for another one. I was told I had to pay a restocking fee of $50.00 and a warranty exchange fee of $20.00. The Store Manager Treated me as if I had stolen something and would not make an exchange, I called Customer Care back and forth for 3 days to no avail because the Store Manager had the right to accept or reject any complaints as per Customer Care and they could not override any decisions made.
So I don't know why it's called Customer Care. If it were a case of Buyer's Remorse, I could understand the fee to restock the phone. If I have a 14 day manufacturer's Warranty to void the phone contract I could understand that too. But a phone that stopped working on the same day I have ZERO understanding. Beware of T-Mobile because they are SCAMMERS. They have nothing in place to help Customers with legitimate claims and as for Customer Care that's a SCAM too. It's all about stealing money from people who work hard for their money, only to have it stolen because of False Advertisement. They don't CARE.

Staunton VA - Service was horrible. They said service was good. Actually terrible. Promised towers would be better. I called T-Mobile customer service. Unbelievable wait times. Waited 3 hours for help. They tell me any smoke and mirrors about service getting better. Still to this day no longer better service. I switched to Sprint after this. I was frustrated. How do you pay full bill when your service wasn't working. T-Mobile scavengers. They just want your money. No matter the cost. I tried to keep my same number so I called to cancel.
Week later THEY STILL BILLED ME AND TOOK MY MONEY EVEN THOUGH SERVICE CANCELLED AND SPRINT was going to pay THEM in which they did and kept my money even though I turned phone in on which I acknowledged them. Worst ever. You want bad customer service talk and bad wait time and higher bill. Got Samsung Galaxy 9+. Bill cheaper than that T-Mobile Revvl Plus. Do not go to T-Mobile. It's bad for your health.

They have unfair billing practices. They give misleading information and will cut off your service and say they will not do it. Once they cut it off they have you where they want you so you agree to what they want so you can get your service back on. What they want is usually not helping you at all. They make you agree to their terms under duress which is illegal. Beware. This is what happened to me: I called customer service on November 15 to set up a payment arrangement for my past due bill. Spoke to Summer. She told me that she couldn't do that until the old payment arrangement was taken out of my account. She told me that she would call me the next day when it falls out and she told me that my service will not be cut off. Jessica calls me the next day, she left a message telling me that the payment arrangement was still showing so we have to wait maybe for another day until it falls out.
The next day Mary calls me, tells me that the old payment arrangement is still showing but will call again the next day. She assured me that my service will not be interrupted. The next day 11/18/18 during work my phone got disconnected. Called T-Mobile, spoke to Cristina. She told me that the only way that she could restore my service was if I made a payment arrangement for the full amount of my bill which was $380. Initially I only wanted to make a payment arrangement for $150 to be paid on the 20th when I got paid. That was only 3 days away. They couldn't even do that to extend a few days. She wanted me to agree for a payment arrangement for the full $380.
I use my phone for work and it was already out of service for two hours talking to Cristina and another agent previous her. I lost about $200 already and was losing more the longer my phone was out of service. So I made a payment arrangement to pay $150 on 11/20/18 and $199 on 12/4/18. I told Cristina the only reason I was agreeing 'cause it was under duress from T-Mobile. It was their fault & by giving me misleading information I lost income for two hours that day which comes out to about $200-$300. And it was under duress that I agreed to that payment arrangement. I told Cristina that on the phone which was recorded. Plus they charged $8.95 to make that payment arrangement. I called today 12/01/18 to make a payment arrangement because I can't make that payment. Spoke to Stephanie. She told me that they could not do anything for me. *I filed with BBB for this unfair and illegal billing practice. Waiting to hear back.

I went to a T-Mobile store in Lloyd Center, Portland OR to establish an account with T-Mobile under the military veteran plan on Nov 9. After I established and paid for the plan, T-Mobile kept texting me reminding I have only 45 days to verify my veteran status online. I logged in numerous times at t-mo.com/military3 and went through the process and the portal kept on requesting my date of separate from the military. But there was no way I could input that info because the portal did not have a box for me to input that info.
I called T-Mobile customer service three times but none of the customer agent knew how to do that either. Finally, the last call I made to T-Mobile, its escalation team leader "Max" could not resolve the issue, but Max promised T-Mobile would return my call and provide a solution within three business days. Well, today was the seventh business day and T-Mobile still had not called me. When I was at the store on Nov 9, I had my military ID card with me. But the rep who handled me, E **, repeatedly insisted T-Mobile would not allow him to verify my military status. I had to do it online. It has been an utterly frustrating experience with T-Mobile and no one at T-Mobile had stepped forward to resolve this issue. My question is: Is the T-Mobile military veteran discount a sham? Is it being used as a bait to trick military veteran into switching over?

Wright lawsuit against T-Mobile in Google search before you think to switch to them. He is my story: 11 months ago I went to T-Mobile to switch to their service from AT&T, they had the plan buy one get one free and they will pay what I have money on my phones with AT&T, they asked me to pay off my phones and they will give me the money, they told me I need to reserve 4 lines to make sure I am getting the deal and they want charge me for them, so after we paid and unlocked the phones we went back to them to switch, they said the offer is done we can't give you the same offer, when we asked why you didn't tell us that it will finish soon before they said we didn't know the company just decide to end it (which is so stupid).
After that I start receiving bills from them and we never switch to their service. So went back to ask why I am receiving bills for, they said sorry this is because of the reserved lines and no worries will deal with it, I kept receiving bills I went back to them, they told me will take care of it and you not gonna receive bills anymore. After that I received a notice from credit karma that I have T-Mobile collection.
This was 4 months ago, I kept calling T-Mobile and the branch (626 E Golf, Shaumburg, IL) I went to. They kept transferring me from one to another they told me in the end they can't do nothing to me because it's transferred to the collection agency. I called the agency. They said T-Mobile need to contact them, I called T-Mobile again and nothing happen. The only things will file a lawsuit against them they drop my credit a lot. I am a house flipper and use loan for that. Now I can't.Don't ever never think to switch. Even their coverage is so bad.

I tried switching to T-Mobile after almost 20 years with Sprint. T-Mobile like the other carriers offers 0% DOWNPAYMENT on financed or leased phones. Their website states that it's offered to "well qualified customers", "awesome credit". I was certain that that would not be an issue as my credit is awesome with all 3 main credit bureaus. To My big surprise after T-Mobile ran my credit they told me that I needed $600 down payment for a $750 phone (iPhone XR). I could not believe it since my credit is great and not even getting a car loan has required me to give a down-payment and with the lowest interest (it's a car loan after all).
I asked T-Mobile store clerks about why I needed to put down pretty much the whole cost of the phone upfront, but their answer was: "it's what our system shows and we don't know why". So I tried getting answers from a T-Mobile rep over the phone, T-Mobile Twitter and same answer: "we don't know". Lastly I email the CEO John Legere at john.legere@t-mobile.com. I got a response from his executive office team, a Sr specialist. She stated that the main qualifying factor to be a "well qualified customer" was T-Mobile's own scoring system which uses multiple "factors" to score a new applicant for service and get credit to finance or lease T-Mobile's devices.
I asked what those qualifying factors were, but she repeatedly said with conviction that no one in the entire company (T-Mobile) including the CEO John Legere knows what those factors are. Not even the team that created that very scoring system. So I asked her if it were possible that those unknown factors might be discriminatory, to what she said "No" even though she said that the factors are unknown. So we all can suspect that those factors may be discriminating customers. After all they don't even know.
One thing is certain, and that is how T-Mobile deceives new customers promising 0% down payment to customers with awesome credit failing to disclose that the "awesome credit or well qualified customer" is only based on their own scoring system which may be discriminatory and not on credit worthiness from the main credit bureaus. Want to potentially be discriminated? Like the lack of transparency from a business? Want to be scammed? Go ahead. Get T-Mobile.

A saleswoman and a guy in training came in my office yesterday trying to save me money by switching from AT&T. I owe $900 on my iPhone X. She said they would mail me a check for $900 to pay it off, also finance a new iPhone XR for 24 months. Today I started reading. First thing I saw was that the max credit to pay off a phone was $650. The very next sentence said that I would be issued a check directly to pay off my phone but that I'd have a credit issued on my T-Mobile account.
Well that isn't what I was told and I don't want a $650 credit on my T-Mobile bill and at the same time owe AT&T $900 for the iPhone X that I no longer would be using. I had intended on paying it off with the $900 and selling it. But I'm not coming out of pocket $900 to be able to unlock the phone to sell it and get $500-700 for it so I called their support number and the guy answered and said he worked for a company called Wireless Fulfillment. He tells me that I have to have paid my current iPhone X down to 50% of the MSRP of the before they will issue me the credit. So in other words the MSRP was about $1100 on my phone, I have to pay it down to $550 and then I'd get the credit on my T-Mobile bill but it's not going to be $900 credit or even the max of $650. It's only half of the original MSRP which would be a credit of $550.
The saleswoman that came to my office told me that she worked for T-Mobile directly. When we were talking the guy in training inadvertently mentioned their contract with T-Mobile. I looked at her and said, "You told me that you work for T-Mobile and specifically that you are a W2 employee of them." She said, "No, I meant T-Mobile pays my company and they pay me." I asked her the name of her company and unfortunately I didn't write it down but I do know that the name wasn't Wireless Fulfillment which is what the guy answering the phone told me the name of the company was.
Obviously I'm not getting straight answers. I realize the T-Mobile isn't directly at fault - it's the company they contracted to do the sales but they do share some of the blame for outsourcing their sales I suppose. Either way I'm cancelling. I don't do business with untruthful people. What a waste of 3 hours of time yesterday and an hour today on the phone. That doesn't count the time I spent typing this but this rant was enjoyable at least.

I thought no one could be worse than AT&T so I switched from AT&T to T-Mobile. Before I did, I spoke with 3 different T-Mobile reps to guarantee that my brand new existing AT&T Samsung phones would work on T-Mobile - that they would do WiFi calling, and that I could continue to download contact and calendar data daily WITHOUT BUYING A NEW PHONE. Once I went through the expense of converting and porting, and after I spent 4 days and 20 hours on the phone trying to make it work, they admitted that I DID have to buy a new T-Mobile Samsung (to the tune of $900) to make everything work. Not only did I incur hundreds of dollars in T-Mobile costs and days of my time, but I had to pay hundreds MORE to go back to AT&T when they refused to honor their promises.

Made the horrible decision to switch from Verizon to T-Mobile after being with Verizon for over 20 years. Thought I would save a few bucks so went ahead and made the move of 4 lines over to T-Mobile. First off, cell phone coverage a mere 5 miles from their store is non existent. Before I even got home, my phone showed "No Service". Not only there, but in the entire area I live and work in. T-Mobile said that they had towers there and I shouldn't be having that problem. Big help. They also lied about getting a "Free" iPhone XR for trading in my iPhone 6S Plus. What they don't tell you is that the free phone is locked for 3 years or until you pay them off for the phone before your $20/month credit pays it off. Horrible coverage, lied to from the start, and zero interest in helping once I became a customer. Avoid at all costs.

T-Mobile lies. I was encouraged to switch to a lower cost plan as I told them have no need for the 4th additional line that I have had for so long. They told me this will be the best plan as it is cheaper and faster speed, unlimited 4G data plans for my whole family plan (3 lines). After the switch over I realized my internet service has slow down substantially. I have more difficulty getting internet connection as well. Today I tried to make a call to Texas and I was shocked to hear the voice recording saying that my plan no longer serve that location. That I will be charge per minute if I proceed. This is outrageous lying. They are thieves!
Three years ago they have a special promotion for Alcatel tablet. I fell for that trick. It was the most ** tablet. It is almost impossible to use as the typing function was so slow and correction was difficult. The whole tablet is not a basically a ** device. I can’t imagine they even can sell such useless device. They got me hooked to pay monthly for 2 years. Lately the charger/device even stopped working completely, It is a unethical to even promote such a useless product. I complained but they turned a deaf ear.
Now again I am tricked the 2nd time with false promises. They told me I will get a much higher data speed (4G) & everything will be the same. After I changed plan it is not what they promised. All said were lies, I can’t believe I have to pay per minute to call Texas and who know where else. I wish I could find a lawyer to sue them.

I had been with T-Mobile for over 15 years. I called them several times. Let them know my service in my house, different areas I would lose service or no connection. They always gave me the run around. So, I switched mobile service providers. I had a bill sent to me for 414.00, when in fact I had checked with them how much I owed them so; I wouldn't get a bill later. Well I call them and of course my call went to a foreign country where English was spoken very poorly. I asked to be sent to the United States and was put on hold for 2 hours.
Finally, I was sent to the States. I explained my situation and informed them I would send payments until paid off. Payments of 50.00 dollars which I have been doing for three months diligently. But now I get a notice that I have been sent to collections. Which will mess up my good credit.

I have been a customer with T-Mobile for several years, but due to certain circumstances, decided to switch carriers (with advice from family). The process seems simple enough. You pay off your phone charges, you contact T-Mobile and cancel your account, and then you have T-Mobile unlock your phone so you can use a new SIM card with a new carrier. But how silly of me to assume it would be so easy.
I have contacted T-Mobile several times about unlocking my phone, with no luck. It's been several days, and I am effectively cut off from phone service. I have been shuffled through several different employees, with no luck. At this point, if my phone is not unlocked, I will not have cell service for several months - as I am going to another country to stay with family. I have a contingency plan for this, but the fact that this is happening at all is ridiculous. My phone is essentially being held hostage. If you are in dire need of the use of your phone, and are planning on switching carriers away from a T-Mobile plan - BEWARE! It seems that the solution to this is simply not to get a plan with T-Mobile in the first place.

How on earth do a online server give you a "too busy" error. We are not living in the stone ages. I am an IT professional and have never had to reject a customer because my server is too busy. What is the probability that the server would be busy 3 days out of a week.

11/20/2018. On October 20, 2018 I switched from Sprint to T-Mobile. I specifically asked if they would pay off my phones? T-Mobile said yes up to 650.00 per line. I had 3 lines and owed 366.57 per line, so I was ok with that. Not once did they say it would only be a portion of what was owed and the rest would be T-Mobile credits. I submitted my final bill to T-Mobile on 11/20/2018 and received a text saying they would reimburse me for 449.71. I was expecting 1099.71.
I called customer service and was informed that the remaining 650.00 would be in bill credits. This is absolutely NOT was I was told, or I would have not switched!! Customer service said that there was nothing they could do. My account is still new and I asked them to not make the credits towards my account but rather to reimburse me so I could pay the phones off and not go into collections. Again, NOTHING they could do. They were NOT honest at all about the buyout program at all.
The store I visited is at 1831 Blankenbaker Pkwy Suite 200, Louisville, KY 40299. ALSO. When I switched I could not have everyone present that day to do the switch. Said that would be ok, the other person could just come in when they could and switch their phone. I was told I would have to pay all the activations and taxes of ALL phones that day I was there, and when the other person switched, then all would be paid for. When the other person arrived to do the switch, they were forced to pay another 160.00. I had already paid for that!!! I had to pay her back the 160.00, because there was supposed to be NO charge. T-Mobile owes me 810.00. I would like that back, NOT IN CREDITS!!! NONE of this was told to me at time of switch.

That's fine, but my 14-years loyalty discount & the Government Corporate discount will be stripped away.
I requested to speak to a supervisor who refused to provide his real name but just go by a nickname "C.J". "Mr. CJ" advised that the T-Mobile policy is not allowed him to provide his real name nor his manager information such as Email or Phone number. The best info that Mr. CJ can provide was his manager name "Maritza **." That's it! I have been with T-Mobile for over 14 years. "Mr. CJ" said that I am just like their "T-Mobile's Family".

I have been a LOYAL client of T-Mobile for 4 years now and have had decent customer service from them up until 11/16. I called on 11/15 and 16 to ask about deals on iPhone and was told I could get it for free when adding a line and trading in my phone. The last representative I spoke to we went through the verification, pin send, and were almost ready to have phone shipped with 0 down but decided to go in store because I wanted the phone today. Waited in store standing for almost 2 hours in pain (I have sciatic nerve damage) only to find out I would be charged a down payment.
Team members in store were amazing and tried to help me by contacting team support and trying to fight for me to at least get my down payment lowered. Spoke to someone who was very unintelligent in the information she gave and stated there was nothing they could do. I will now be switching my carrier after 4 years of loyalty to this company because of the lies and wasting my time to leave with nothing. Seems they only treat their new customers correctly so I will be treated as a new customer somewhere else. Stay away if you do not enjoy being tricked.

I am a FORMER T-MOBILE customer. Having recently switched to another carrier to save a lot of money each month, I have been TRYING to obtain my credit for unused service. Trying to get through to an agent (they call themselves SPECIALISTS) but are NOT! I have dealt with snarky people on the phone, and most recently in PERSON at my local T-MOBILE store. Because I was given conflicting information by phone, and by mail, I decided to visit a store to see if someone could find out EXACTLY what has transpired. After telling the agent what my issue was, he looked at me like I was BOTHERING HIM, and wasting his precious time because I wasn't buying a $900.00 phone.
He resisted all of my questions and finally called customer care, but acted like I was a low life fool. His tone, demeanor, and very CONDESCENDING & aloof manners were very RUDE & INSULTING to me. I am a life long retail sales and management professional. If I treated my customers the way he treated me, I would DESERVE to be reprimanded. I will refrain from mentioning the store.

They have the worst customer service that I have ever seen! Every single person I talked to gave me a different answer. I placed an order for 6 SIM cards and 4 of those lines were getting new phones and they totally screwed up the order. Order was "held up/reversed for some reason that they do not even know what it is", yet no one gave me a call. I have been transferred numerous times and no one has been able to help me. I have spend over 3 hours on the phone with them and I am nowhere closer to a resolution. Let me also fill you in on the T-Mobile scam about no contract and their carrier freedom.
1. The reason there is no contract is because you have to buy the phones by either paying full price for them or financing them. You can do the same with any carrier.
2. Them saying that they will pay up to $650 for you to be able to get out of the contract with your other carrier is a scam. Unless you have a phone in good shape to give them they will not pay anything for you to get out of your contract. So if you have a phone that might be a little damage you do not get anything. It is a total scam!
How are these people still in business I have no idea! I highly recommend that you look elsewhere or prepare to have lots of issues. On top of that their coverage sucks, I have 2 friends that have t-mobile and they are constantly complaining about the service coverage area. Good luck if you decide to go with this company. Just look at the rating, B- on BBB and 1.1 Stars on here, tells you everything that you need to know.

I was promised over $200 for every iPhone line that I switched to them. So I wait. And wait. Today I call them about what their hold up is and get this — whoever signed me up over the phone never made mention of my promotion. So that promotion is over and nor will not be honoring it because it wasn’t even mentioned in the memo of my account. Hahahah. What a scam. Keep in mind, it cost me out of pocket money just to switch during that time period from AT&T. My goodness. I feel so scammed right now.

I came over to T-Mobile in March 2018. I went to their store on June 1st to take advantage of the Buy One Get One on the Galaxy S9s. Now initially I had bought the phones with the T-Mobile telesales department but when I called days later to check where the order was I was told it was a system error and it got stuck and never shipped. No one called me, but my money was pulled from my account for more than $900 (because even though the other phone is free you still have to put the deposit down but you get it back). So they canceled the stuck order and told me I could go in the store and pick it up same day and they would waive activation fees. I activated a new line and upgraded the other to get the promo. When I tried to test out the new line it didn't work. I was told it would be active in a couple of days, the line was listed on the contract but was put in reserve.
Long story short after at least 50-60 calls to customer service they finally activated the line in 2 months later in August. I was told the adjustment would be made so that the added line's phone would be free. It is now November and the other phone was never credited. T-Mobile is now saying they can't do anything for me because of the timeframe. I called them weekly to correct the issue. This entire situation is beyond me and once the lines are paid for I'm just going back to my previous carrier. It's not worth saving money monthly to get taken advantage on other things. Verizon may be high but honestly I was never had an issue like this and customer service was always on point. I wish there was an option to leave no stars but 1 will have to do.

Every time I've talked to a T-Mobile team member, I have had the absolute best customer service. People are friendly, local, and genuinely seem to care. On top of that, I haven't had to deal with a bunch of high pressure upselling and I've gotten calls from them just checking to make sure my service was working okay. People are more than willing to give you their business card and send you a text with a code so that they can be held personally accountable for the information they've given you, which I think is fantastic.
My biggest complaint with previous companies was one person giving me some wishy washy explanation and then the next person I talked to had a completely contradictory answer and then the bill would reflect something that didn't match either. The bills and plans and payment options to make payments directly on your device are much simpler than other companies I've experienced, and I really do feel like most team members know what the heck they're talking about. Things are easy and simple to do both on the website or via phone call. Plus, they have cool promos and they're affordable. I feel like the company is doing the right things and they've definitely earned my business.

Great phone company, Horrible follow up customer service - I have been a T-Mobile customer for over five years. I was pay as you go for four years and then this past year and some change I was a "regular" customer. I have several issues all at once that I have spent 15 to 20 hours at the store trying to resolve and about 8 hours total on the phone trying to resolve them. There is a lot to unpack here so I will start from the beginning.
When I was crossing over from prepaid to regular I was told I could 3 unlimited phone lines and an unlimited hotspot device line for a certain price, but I forget what it was, but it didn't matter anyway because they said they couldn't make that deal. This is what happens when you think anyone at the T-Mobile store can help you. Now I always make it a point to try to go to the same person every time, no surprises - usually. I ended up getting roped into an unlimited tablet line - which I didn't need because I didn't own a tablet - for the 4th line.
Still, to this day, almost 2 years later, I still don't have primary account holder access. It shows my phone number AS primary and they politely tell me this over the phone, but I can't make changes, I can't use Netflix, I can't set parental controls for my kids' line if they have such a thing. I wouldn't know because I don't have access. I have tried calling in about, but they are full of energy and no follow through. They are nice as can be and excel and being ineffectual. That's not even the most frustrating part.
Some time ago, not sure of the date, but they can pull it up... But I got a phone for my wife because hers broke. While I am there, they ask me if I wanted a free tablet. Reluctantly I said yes. (Word of advice - just say no.) I was told I would put $80 down, but would receive it back in $3 bill credits. This never happened. Actually, the opposite happened and the same people in the store who made it to happen couldn't make it unhappen. (Frustration building) After spending hours in the store trying to resolve said issue I called in about it. They immediately gave me $15 bill credit and said they would escalate it and the primary account holder issue, but I didn't hear back from them and the issues are still there.
Finally, I got my wife the S9+, purple, lilac as they call it. I remember talking with the representative about being crazy not to have insurance on such an expensive device. Well through the unnatural course of time and very unfortunate event - my wife lost her phone. When she goes to the store she is informed that phone DOES NOT have insurance in it. The representative remembers the conversation I had with him after I tell my wife about what I said. He then, with the manager onlooking and giving advice, he says he will try something, for us to wait 48 hours and then submit the claim. We do so. Less than 24 hours later the insurance company tells us that "after a thorough investigation the phone was not covered during the time of the loss." I am beyond words despondent over the situation because The phone cost almost $1,000.
Shortly after they denied the claim, my wife goes into the hospital for five days. I go into the store to get a new sim for my phone and to ask about the disposition of the S9+ and he and the manager both say, "nope, sorry, there's nothing more we can do." It could have been just my imagination, but it looked to me like he and the manager exchanged looks, but I dunno. Basically he tells me I just have to eat the cost of an S9+ because of what he later called a "system failure to register the insurance" at the time of the sale and there was nothing they could do. Does that sound legit to you?
Anyway, about a week or so after that encounter I call 611 to complain about the situation because the more I think about it, the madder I get. After speaking with them and their supervisor, who I didn't ask for - they volunteered to get him, he told me he would apply $50 toward my bill. However, when they applied the credit, they applied it to the tablet they told me would be free that they charged me for. So they applied $50 to money they already owed to me. Anyway, I honestly thought the rep simply forgot to add the insurance and tried to fudge the system somehow, mainly because of the sheer lack of support. Don't get me wrong, they some of the very nicest people you will ever have to deal with. Albeit, they claim it was a system error that didn't attach the insurance to the sale so it opens the door to reasonable doubt, but it opens other doors too.
Like, if that was the case, then why not go that route in the first place vs. telling me there's nothing they can do and to keep paying for a phone that I don't have that should have been covered by insurance in the first place. A "T-MOBILE EXPERT" calls me after I complain the first time and I have to start the whole story ALL over again because he kept trying to tell me the phone was an LG phone, (which the CURRENT phone was), and that the line already had insurance on it and... By this time, it is all I can do to maintain composure. I would pack up and go somewhere else, but there isn't anywhere else to go - I like T-Mobile, I don't want to have to switch - I can't stand the other choices out there for varying reasons.
So after a series of being put on holds he tells me the S9+ was a leased phone which automatically has insurance, to go back to the store where I got it, ask for a manager to open my account and read the notes, pay the $175 deductible, and get another one. Not so. Not in the slightest. I couldn't remember his name. I was working outside in the mud trying to tell him to call me back after work, but to no avail. (It seems to me that a high tech phone company could see when my phone number came into their call center and which station it rang to and which tech was working that station. I dunno.) Anyway, I get to the store, and wouldn't you know it? The notes do not reflect no such an activity.
So I called the ”Expert" line that called me on Monday and I had to start the entire process all over again because the rep said the notes weren't clear and when he tried to call customer support they didn't have that information. While on the phone I ended up having to ask for the supervisor because the tech on the other end was only following protocol and not really able to think for herself, just read a script and move on, very ineffectual. (The phone is an LG phone and it has insurance on it... Over and over again) Finally, FINALLY, I get a supervisor. Finally I get somewhere with someone on the phone, her name was Mari, OUTSTANDING professionalism and people skills. I could immediately see why she was a supervisor.
We finally get to a resolution center to resolve my issue. However, the tech who told me the bit about all lease phones automatically having insurance... I don't remember his name because, like I said, I was working, outside, in the dirt speaking to him on speaker phone so I can keep working. He also told me that my tablet issue was taken care of and that my issue with me being primary account holder and having primary account holder authority were resolved too... Nope, is as it was except the S9+ issue is resolved... I think. You see they tell me it will "appear" like I will be charged the full amount for the phone, but when it cycles through they will take off everything except the $175 I already paid them.
So far it looks like I'm getting fully charged, but we will see. I really would like to have the two other issues remedied someday and to get the money they owe me for the tablet too. I would be ecstatic with a bill credit, but it seems customer service can't get their poop in one sock unless you call... And keep calling and repeat your story every-single-time. It's exhausting. I wonder if they do it on purpose, to make extra money. Most customers just forget about stuff like this and take it I guess. I used to be one of them.

It was my Birthday and I had received a gift of an Apple watch from my partner. He had bought it just a few hours before giving it to me. Upon receipt I saw on the side sticker it was black so I said I'd go to T-Mobile to change it to my preferred rose gold. The first person I met in the store responded with a snooty "oh am well that will cost you $50!!" I was completely blown away, I was like... This was just bought a few hours ago. It's completely untouched, in the T-Mobile bag with receipt. Didn't matter! What kind of appalling customer service is this, to literally treat your bill paying customers in this manner, literally robbing customers. RESTOCKING FEE a few hours after buying something.
I then spoke to customer service. Then the manager and another two T-Mobile employees. None of whom were budging and could not care less that they had caused me so much upset on my birthday! One of them actually said that it was a charge from Apple. Well I spoke to Apple and that is not the case, if I was to do this exact exchange with Apple I would not have been charged this penalty. It is a robbing fee from T-Mobile. I will now go into T-Mobile today RETURN the Apple watch for my money back. Cancel myself and my partner's bill paying phone accounts. Go to Apple and buy my product DIRECT and switch to another phone company. It is NOT the $50 (which I still think is robbery) it is the principle of the care I was given and the fact it left me so upset. I WILL NEVER darken the door of T-Mobile again. I deserve better as a paying customer!!!

About 8 months ago and probably even more, I was having problems with my phone line. I was calling in multiple times and letting them know that I wasn't getting any services, my calls were getting dropped and my text messages were coming in late. They supposedly troubleshooted it and it was supposed to work now. Well surprise, it was still NOT working. I kept calling back and paying my phone bill every month. Finally they said to get a new phone and it was the phone, so I went in and got a new phone. Surprise! AGAIN it still was not working. I got upset and didn't pay my phone bill. They suspended my line and when I called in, they not only charged me a late fee for EACH line but refused to hear me out or try to resolve my problem.
I called back and their solution this time was that, "my lines were under Verizon and that's why it wasn't working and now it is under T-Mobile and should work now... and it STILL was not working properly. Now, I finally said, "Screw it, cancel my lines, I will go elsewhere," and then they apologized and said they would take care of my bill and the late fees that they kept stacking on my account. I wasn't going to keep paying for services I was not getting and so the customer service rep for the "LOYAL" team reached out and said they would pay for my bill. She promised to call two days later to see how my service was working and to proceed with the promise.
Two days later, I never got a response or a call. I called them and all of a sudden, that promise wasn't noted. Mind you when you call T-Mobile, they state that all calls are recorded. I was transferred to 3 people, one of them a supervisor. She didn't care what I was going through and what I have had to deal with already, she just didn't care. Finally I told her to have the rep who promised me to call me. So we set up a time, they called me and asked for a specific appointment call and then I waited. I never got a call and about a day later, the rude supervisor called me back, apologized and said they would take care of the bill since it was promised. She said to give her about 2 to 3 days and she would clear my account.
Well a week went by and the charges were still there. I called back today to talk to someone and they practically told me that they weren't doing anything and nothing was noted. When I asked to speak to the supervisor I talked to since everything was "noted", they rejected my request and said they couldn't do that and that their policy changed. I will be changing carriers and making sure to pass it along to friends, family, customers, clients, co-workers and everyone I know about T-Mobile's service. I work in sales and now to be on the other end and get treated this way after PAYING money to have service and get told that I was practically "lying", I will never use them again. This is not the last time I will be posting a review.

T-Mobile is horrid. Do not do business. I have had my service for 4 days and I can't use it. I asked for a refund and was told no. So I paid for something I never received. When I asked to speak to a manager, I was hung up on. I was promised to keep my current number and that was a lie as well. I live in Oregon and they gave me a Florida number. My name doesn't even come through on caller id... therefore... T-Mobile is stealing money from people and they don't care.

I have never in my life had such a ridiculous phone company. It is one thing after another with these people. Just of recently we tried to upgrade my husband's phone but they was out of the one he wanted so they had to ship it to us. That was fine until the guy refused to listen to us and get our address correct because he was too busy trying to sell us everything else that we did not want. Well I have had to fight with T-Mobile and UPS to get this phone over the last few weeks. We went into the store today to see if we could just do it all over again since UPS sent the other phone back to them and We was still not able to upgrade his phone as apparently they have not received the other one back yet. Even tho we showed them where UPS sent it back.
Then I tried to call customer service for them to tell me They can not talk to me because I am not authorized on my account... It is my account. How am I not authorized on my own account. Not only all of this but the service sucks in general. There is only very few places me or my husband actually have service on our phones unless we are on WIFI. Most ridiculous thing ever. I can not wait to switch and go to a new carrier. T-Mobile is the worse phone service I have ever had and their in-store people are a joke and so is the customer service people. Total Joke!!!!

I have had two different accounts with T-Mobile on two different occasions. Both times there were issues. First we were told yes we would have service in our area. The service was very spotty. The coverage area was inaccurate. We had problems getting them to "unlock" our devices after the balance was paid in full, and then found out later that our iPhones would not work on another service provider's network. Most recently I had an account for 26 days and was billed $140. Customer service is poor. When you finally do get to talk to them, someone will tell you one thing, then another representative will tell you something completely different.

First off, nationwide coverage may be stellar, but I seldom get anything but choppy signal at home (large city). For the past three months, I have had to call my "team of experts" every month to correct billing errors. They give a $10 discount for auto-pay - but more than make it up with errors. CHECK YOUR BILLS CAREFULLY MONTHLY!!!! And, I just discovered that we are paying monthly (yes, that's monthly) charges for a SIM card, screen protector and case. These three items will have cost us nearly $200 in monthly fees before they is paid off. I also (foolishly) purchased a tablet at the TMobile store that did not function as described. In addition to paying a $50 restocking fee, I discovered later that I was being charged for the associated "line" - even two months after returning it. Do not trust them to get the billing right - check it carefully every month. We will be seeking another service - as soon as we have paid off these ridiculous charges.

I've been a loyal T-Mobile customer for 5 years and haven't had any problems until recently when we switched to the military One plan under my dad. Since then, we've had nothing but problems with everything from billing to no one being able to figure out how to put us on the correct plan. Every time we call in, we are told something different and now T-Mobile blames us for issues they caused! I was told that I needed to turn in my S7 Edge under my old plan or pay for it, so I turned it in and got a new lease under my dad's plan. I was then given a credit for the S7 lease of nearly $400, but now they are charging me that $400 and threatening to take me to collections if I don't pay it.
Nobody seems to know what they are talking about, they apply credits and then take them back, put us on the 7 line plan when we only have 5 numbers, upgraded the plan to the more expensive base plan when I specifically said we didn't want that plan, and tell me that they have corrected the issue and it will be applied to our next billing cycle (but in the meantime, we pay the premium for their mistakes)...it has been a NIGHTMARE!!!! Then the retention department wants to make "it right" by just saying "sorry you were told wrong the previous 7 times you called in." T-Mobile should be ashamed of itself for treating our military and veterans this way! This is the WORST customer service I have ever received of ANY company I've ever done business with!

Ok so I have been with T-Mobile for 11 years and there was never an issue, until they thought I was no longer their customer. So let me explain. After 11 years of loyalty to this company I hear they had military discounts and my husband is a veteran so we switched my account to his name to save money, so far everything seem awesome until I got a bill for over 1000 saying I owe them and I knew that was wrong. We were up to date without bill, so I went to my local store. I explained to the gentleman what happened. He call their home office and they all agreed it was a huge mistake they had made. They were charging my phone which was transferred to my husband’s account and he was making payments for it but at the same time they were charging me for it.
He said it would take a few weeks to come off my bill from my old account. Well I got a new bill saying I still owe them over $900 but when I went into the store the guy said I only owe about $280. And yes I agreed because two of the phones could not be transferred to my husband account. They were also charging me for a hotspot I have in my house because we get no signal so I explain to them why I still had it because we were still customers with them so they say to keep it. Well a few weeks after that I got another bill saying they send me to collections after me talking to many of their customer service people and even some supervisors and everyone agreed it was a T-Mobile mistake.
Well after calling and calling and calling now they are telling me because my old account is close and there is nothing they can do about it and I have to deal with the third party company, so I told the supervisor “You are telling me I have to pay money that I clearly don’t owe you guys." He said they have no record of my account anymore because my account is closed now. WHAT??? They are stealing my money. I agree to pay about 300 probably even less than I owe them but where is the other 600 coming from. And why would my account go to collections when I’m trying to fix their mistake. Ahhhh I’m so frustrated. How can they expected the third party company to believe that it was T-Mobile mistake and I do not owe that much money? Of course they are not.
I called the collections company and I explain what was happening and the lady probably thought I was out of my mind and all she said, "Well how are you planning to take care of this??? All we know is that you owe T-Mobile $890." OMG. Plus we still customers with them just under my husband's name now.I’m so frustrated with this situation. They are obviously going to get my money since I can that affect my credit. I just want to cry right now and yell. They are washing their hands and stealing my money???

I've been with T-Mobile for about two years now and after going back to single line my bill was just too high. I wasn't happy with the quality of the service either, my internet was constantly cutting out and my service signal never had more than 2 bars. I've decided to switch to a prepaid service through Family Mobile (Walmart brand, powered by T-Mobile) to save.
After I transferred my number I made a call to T-Mobile to check if I needed to formally close my account. The custom service representative told me I have an outstanding debt of over $1000. This was a shock to me since I pay for all of my bills with autoplay and my device has been paid off in full after about three months. I've asked her to explain why is this showing up she said she doesn't have that information and gave me a phone number for collections agency. I called the number she gave me and they told me there is no debt associated with my name, phone number or SSN! That was just the beginning of my troubles!
After receiving my next bill I got entirely confused by the dates on it. My billing period was from September 11th to October 10th but in the detailed description it said I was paying for services from October 11th to November 10th. And I had already canceled my service on October 11th. After calling customer service to clarify what I'm being billed for no one could explain anything and I kept being bumped to next level of expertise. I've spent over 90min on the line speaking to multiple "experts". I've been told multiple contradictions such as "your account is postpaid so you're paying for the services you've already used" and then 5min later "you are being charged for the month in advance because that is the type of account you have with us, I'm sorry if no one told you this before".
After going back and forth for what seemed like an eternity I finally gave up trying to understand what I'm paying for and asked if that will be my final bill. Imagine my surprise when I was told no. Turns out because I had ONE day of service in the next billing period I am required to pay for the entire month! The explanation behind it was because I transferred my number to a different carrier that's also powered by T-Mobile. This made absolutely zero sense, I've never heard of such a thing so I started arguing. The customer service representative kept intentionally putting me on hold over and over again and pretended that he couldn't hear me while I could clearly hear him.
In the end he said I have to pay this bill (for whatever period it is) and after that I will get a final bill for only one day (instead of the whole month). He said he had put a note on my account for me to only be billed for one day! Apparently you need to call and argue if you don't want to pay for the services you haven't used! That is considering they actually honor that and don't bill me the full sum next month, we'll see! I'd advise everyone to stay away from T-Mobile. They will rip you off any chance they get and provide poor quality service for the money!

I had changed my services to T-Mobile last year, had had nothing but issues with billing. Last month I finally brought down my bill to $155.00. I asked my supposedly assigned account manager if that was going to be my bill every month, she said yes! Since last month my daughter added a new iPhone. The equipment charge was $33.55, which adds up to $188.55. I received a text message that my recurring bill will now be $211.36. Whattt???
So I called, on the phone with them for over an hour trying to tell me that my charges were this and that, I said, "How is it that if you add $155 and $33.55, you come up with your amount," then I was transferred to the supervisor who said “I believe you wanted to speak to me?" I said, "I didn’t ask to speak to you, your rep transferred you to me," she then tried to break the charges to me once again! How is it that my bill last month was $155.00, ok so you get the idea!!!

I recently ordered phone service from T-Mobile through my employee promo program. I got a sales rep on the phone who was located in TX and he happily walked me through the process of what was being offered and finally explained to me. I would be paying about $500 down to process my order. If I wanted it to be overnighted I would pay about $518 and some change. I agreed to do that only to later find out it would not be sent overnight but a few days later. Then I see on my bank statement I was charged about $668 and change. I don't know where this amount comes from. I am very angry about this. I'm a reasonable person but I was not told I would have to wait for any reason for the phone. Having to wait for it is not even the biggest issue. It's the fact that I was lied to.
I called T-Mobile back about this and was told they did not charge that amount. At first I thought it was a connection fee but the rep told me that would be waived. T-Mobile said they did not charge a connection fee when I spoke with them so now that cost is a mystery. To make matters worse, I received documents to sign by email and after signing it I saw where the color on one phone is wrong (I ordered two phones). When ordering the phone I was very clear of the color I wanted. I asked for both phones to be ocean blue. The document states blue and one purple. I called T-Mobile back about this only to be told when the phones arrive I would have to send the wrong one back, pay for it to be sent back and then get reimbursed.
This makes no sense at all! I did not make the mistake, the rep did! I'm not yet officially a T-Mobile customer and already I have a bad taste in my mouth about the experience. I'm at the point I want a full refund and T-Mobile keep those phones and I'll go elsewhere! This overall experience has been highly disappointing. At this point I don't want to recommend T-Mobile to anyone and it's sad because I feel they used to be a good company at one time. I don't know what happened.

So here's the issue. I went into T-Mobile local office (Grand Junction Colorado) 1 year ago to purchase their services. I already had 2 phones and a tablet. I needed 4 lines and had 3 devices. I was purchasing a new Samsung but the manager at the store said I could get a second phone that I had to pay some of the bill upfront. I told him I just needed 1 phone and he said in would get the rebate of a little over 800.00, after being pushed via a hard sell, I grudgingly agreed to get the second phone. The manager then submitted my claim via the internet and was told it could be up to 2 months before I received the prepaid debit card. I waited the full 2 months and heard absolutely nothing from T-Mobile. Went back to local store and the same manager was there. He looked up my account and said something was wrong and he submitted it again (although he couldn't or wouldn't tell me what was wrong).
So once again I was told it could be up to 2 months. So here we go again. I waited a full 2 months and heard nothing from them again. At this time I was pissed off because I really didn't want or need the phone they SOLD ME. I then called T-Mobile and went through several different operators. I finally got someone that spoke English that I could understand and they told me that in order to get the rebate you have to be 100% payments on time through the entire process. So here's the deal, you sign up for a BOGO free phone and they sit on your account for, I'd guess 4 to 8 weeks. If anytime during this process you get behind, for even 1 day, then you lose the deal and you pay full price for a phone you would have never purchased if they didn't HARD SALE it to you.
Now don't get me wrong. I understand 100% that you should pay your bills on time, all the time, and giving you an incentive to pay your bill on time so you get the rebate, but here's my problem. I was never, not 1 time, told that if I was 1 day behind on my bill that I would be disqualified from the BOGO phone. I was also never shown a paper or a digital EUA. The BOGO deal is a scam and they don't give, even 1 week, of a buffer. I mean literally that if I got sick and went into the hospital. And got out 1 day after my bill was due and I went down to the local store and paid my $135.00 bill that it would cost me $800.00+ because I was penalized for getting sick.
After I found out what happened they did agree to extend the date and give me a chance, but by this time I had lost my job and couldn't get my account current.I was depending on that money and if I hadn't been lied to then I should have had that money 8 weeks after I signed with them in would have just paid the phone off and my bill would have sent down, but this was like a domino effect in the sense that I didn't want to have to pay the extra 35.00 per month for this phone. Now I'm basically screwed and I end up paying 800.00 bucks for a phone I wasn't even trying to buy when I signed up. Folks this is criminal, unethical and immoral. If I did something like that to someone I'd go to jail, but big corporations get away with these deceptive unethical practices.
My advice, if presented with a BOGO deal please make sure to get a copy of terms and conditions, read every single word on it. I don't care if it takes 2 hours. If you don't understand ANYTHING AT ALL, make sure to record their responses to your questions. If you walk into the store 10 minutes before they close you make them stay there until 100% of your questions are answered and answered in a way you understand. T-Mobile probably isn't the only lying, thieving, deceptive company out there. BE CAREFUL.

We just switched to T-Mobile this September and it's already a big headache to us.

He said we will get a credit card to pay our contract off. We paid almost $700 upfront and $215 for our first bill, after a couple of days the problems just started happening, from mixing our phone numbers to disconnecting our networks to changing our sim cards and everything, it was a mess! Every time there's a problem we send them msgs or call or go to their store in Biloxi.
We go to their store almost twice a week just to fix the problems, the lady even told us to just bring our pillows and stay in their store because of these neverending problems. When we sent the final bill, they sent us a text msg that we will get the $233 credit to pay our contract but after a couple of mins they sent us another text msg stating that they made a mistake and that we will only get $49, I called them right away asking why we will only get $49, the lady told me that that's what my cp's worth and they will not pay for the contract, I went back to the store, the employee told us that it's just for the phone and they will give us money for the contract, I told him that's not what the Carrier Freedom is saying.
After that they called Carrier Freedom and they said they will give us two separate cards with $173 credit which we will get that night and the other we will receive after a month because they said they still dont have the other phone which is a lie because the USPS told us that they've already received it. After 2 days we didn't get nothing, so today we went there again. The girl employee told us that we will only get $49 and that they will deduct $184 to the cp that we got from them, we asked for more information because this is not what they told us upfront, she was saying it was a miscommunication and she was already getting irritated with my mother in law.

Lesson learned! T-Mobile does not warranty $1000 phones that are 4 days old and requires a $99 deductible after paying $1000 4 days prior. I will not refer anyone else and am now thinking about switching to Xfinity mobile. I use my phone for business. My years of loyalty and $1000s spent means nothing to this company!

All their representatives lack the necessary knowledge to assist customers due to T-Mobile's pathetic policies and regulations. I added my brother to my account and it was like sealing my fate. They sent me the wrong equipment to "Boost my signal" and after 3 weeks of correcting their errors I finally received the right "Booster Box" of which boosted nothing. I finally had enough and switched to Verizon of which I deem as good service.
After switching and removing my brother the games began. They deliberately entered incorrect info, wrong dates, and did not remove me from autopay as I requested... Therefore the bills kept coming even though they assured me it was my final bill. I still have yet to receive my final bill after 2 months of harassment and lies from T-Mobile reps. Also when I went to pay the overcharged bill at a T-Mobile store they informed me I could not pay by check, now wasn't that convenient. I strongly urge people to avoid T-Mobile like a plague because sooner or later they'll wish they'd never signed up.

This review is about my experience with T-Mobile's prepaid data-only service. First, the data-only plan management is not integrated with the My T-Mobile site: it requires a login to my.t-mobile.com, then a redirect to mim.t-mobile.com, then another login. The credentials may need to be different because the first will accept a phone number and the second will not. Also, a different email is required for each account, even if old accounts are inactive; this may require the user to have many different email addresses in order to use the service.
T-Mobile has "on demand passes" and "monthly plans". These are the same except that the prices vary and the monthly plans require auto-renew. I chose a monthly plan because the price was a bit lower. When I no longer needed the data plan, I decided to unsubscribe from the auto-renew. I had trouble finding the way to cancel the plan. Finally I found a tiny "Looking to cancel?" link on the "add plan" page. I was concerned about clicking the link because I was planning to use the rest of the data during the remainder of the cycle. Instead, in a few days the plan auto-renewed and I was charged an extra $100 for service I did not need or want. I contacted T-Mobile about this and explained the situation.
I had not used any of the service. In fact, the associated device had been powered off for several days so exactly 0 bytes of the new plan had been used. I was told that the charge could not be refunded. I did not find this to be acceptable, so I opened a dispute with my credit card provider. I was given a refund for the charge. Many months later, I was interested in activating the service again. I tried to purchase an on-demand pass, but the payment failed. I called T-Mobile and was transferred about 12 times (seriously), had to call back about 4 times, was somehow transferred to AT&T; Prepaid support (what?!)...
I wonder if part of this is because their "call back" feature was sending me to postpaid support when I called prepaid support? Anyway, I finally found out from a payment department supervisor that the payments were failing because of a block on the account from that $100 disputed charge. So, in due course they treated me like a criminal and told me my account could not accept payments by phone or credit card unless I paid the $100 amount. My next attempt was to close the affected account, but after again being transferred around repeatedly, I gave up. I have moved to Red Pocket's GMSA (AT&T;) plan.

I have been with T-Mobile for over 8 years and the longer service I have they continue to change the plan without permission and charge more and more. It first started from internet AD, it said "Special, 3 line for $120 month plus 1line add free". Called and got the service and time goes by bill change to $150 a month, and now 180 a month. Each time increase the rate, I called and their response was they do not know what had happened. But the record does not show that I had contracted as Special, "3 line for $120 month plus 1line add free" And they never offer such deal! (big lies)...
So, I ask a customer service that I do like to better plan for all I need 3 line and not use much internet. And customer service lady said I have best plan and price. Another lie, because the T-Mobile Ad (Sept 22, 2018), shows $35.00 month for a line, which means they are not given their old royal customer best deal but to scam badly. I do not know why this company people lies so much!!! Be aware of this problem for your info...

T-Mobile told me to get insurance from them because it's the same exact coverage and only $99 for broken phone claim. Well not to find out over a year later that it was all a freaking lie and it's actually $175. What a bunch of liars. Don't EVER trust T-Mobile -_-.

I have been with T-Mobile for over 15 year and it is a shame that in the last 15 year the service have suck more and more as the days gone by. How is it the I know more about the solving the problem then they do let start by saying I put a order for iWatch 4, got charge, got the email for the order which I find weird because they claim to send the sign email twice alongside the order confirmation and I order got the order confirmation twice and never got the sign email. Now to make matter worse they charge me or as they say put a hold of the amount 35.11 and now wants me to redo the order and recharge me the 35.11 instead of listening to me and resend the sign email to my phone number in which they can't do because the girl seem useless and not really understanding of her job.
She know who she is and then has the nerve to transfer me to another person after being on the phone for 2 hours. Sad to say but this happen more often than it should. On top of that every person you have to speak to you have to give them the info again. Don't they have the computer in front of them and when transfer don't they suppose to communicate with each other so they know the problem. How can you transfer a call to a person that has no idea unless you tell them the problem? So let me get this straight. You can't fix the problem and you have me on hold and then you transfer me to a person and now I have to tell that person my whole problem again after being on the phone for two hours.

Switched from Verizon to T-Mobile 2 3/4 years ago, because we didn't like being tied to a two year contract. We signed up for T-Mobile's Jump on Demand service, which lets you upgrade your phone up to three times within an 18 month period. Last year, we stood up until 3:AM to grab an early order for the iPhone X which we were told by the phone rep, we'd get on launch date. Launch day came, iPhone X arrived. All good.
This year, it was entirely different. We decided we wanted larger screens, so we went for the upgrade to iPhone XS Max. Once again, we waited until 3:AM as we are on the East Coast. At 10 minutes to, I called customer support to ask what is the best way to go about upgrading. My reply was - "Just go to our site and order it from there when it's time because over the phone we will charge a fee, plus you will have to pay for shipping." What? Last year we did it by phone and there were no additional charges. I asked if he could at least let me know what our upgrade price will cost. He said, "Based on your Jump on Demand Plan, $99.00."
At 2:55:AM, I go online and notice the new iPhones are already up, but our upgrade price shows $379.00 per phone (we have 2). I was flipping out. I called back, and once again, I get an outsourced rep. I tell her my situation and she says "don't worry, the reason why the price is high is because it's not 3:00 yet. At 3:00, you will see the price will be $99.00". I get off the phone and wait - and wait... it's now 3:10, and the price hasn't changed. I knew she was wrong! We decide to add the phones to our cart to see what the total will be. It won't even let me check out as the message shows Jump on Demand customers must upgrade by phone or order directly through one of our stores. So, first customer rep was incorrect, second customer service rep was a joke. I call back a third time, and now they're closed. So I do some research and find another number.
Now I get a US agent. I explain my situation, and he tells me I was given wrong information. "It's definitely $379.00 per phone to upgrade because you haven't been with us 3 years and actually it's not enough months to even qualify for an upgrade at all." I was like WHAT? WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT??? He said, "Hold on, let me check something." He gets back on and apologizes that he made a mistake. "Yes, you can upgrade, and I can take your order by phone." So we give him our credit card, and have to pay 2 x $379.00 plus tax = over $400.00 per phone and $25.00 for 18 months. He was all chummy and patronizing with his fake, overly friendly "we're there for you" nonsense. I asked him twice... "We ARE getting these on Launch day right?" He said, "Oh for sure - it's very cool that you'll get both phones on Friday, the launch day - you made it in!"
No info all week. Website says "processing". The day before launch arrives and people are starting to get tracking numbers, but many don't, us included. I now see a lot of people complaining that their order is shipping UPS GROUND with delivery the following week. I decide to hit Twitter and grab the attention of customer service with a little public complaining. A rep was able to find my tracking number. I key it in, and sure enough, it shows it will be shipped Ground! How will our order get here in one day if they're using Ground? Maybe the hub is close enough? Later in the day, it finally shows the more details as it is now in transit with an ETA of 4 days for transit! Forget Friday, it's now scheduled for Tuesday, the following week.
What's the point of staying up late to get a phone on launch day if it's not arrive on that day? Non-Jump on Demand customers were able to use the web or app to order, but they had shipping choices, so if you wanted it on launch day, you had to pay for overnight. These are all new rules that T-Mobile implemented this year but never explained this to anyone! Not to mention, Jump on Demand customers had no choice of shipping options by phone.
It's not just this iPhone launch that has me angered, but during our time with T-Mobile, we've gotten offers to change our plan around which they claimed would save us money, only later to see our bill rise in price. We were once again given incorrect information and had to switch back to our original plan and demand credit (which they did give us). TWICE we changed plans based on recommendations and TWICE they cost us more. T-Mobile customer service is absolutely a disaster. Every time you call you will always get different answers. They are the most ill informed employees ever. I will not upgrade through T-Mobile ever again. I'll just pay off the phone in the least amount of months possible, then, the next time I need upgrade, I'll go direct with Apple.

Excuse my language but I am frustrated and T-Mobile is ** stupid. Don't EVER get it. I used to sell T-Mobile and I'm saying this so you know I am unbiased. I had a business line where I ordered 5 phones. For the first like 2 months it was fine. After that, it all went to **. We got our bill and somehow it was $500. We just ended up paying for it for a while because we didn't have time to go over it in detail. Finally in July we looked at the plan and found out we had been paying on 11 devices. ELEVEN! Remember I only ordered 5. So I call in over the course of 4 months trying to get these lines taken off our plan only to be lied to by multiple representatives.
Every time I called in, they said "we will send this to escalation and have the fraud department look at it" only to find out today that they never sent the escalations in!!! So I had been calling into T-Mobile every other week just to run around in circles by these idiots so they could scam the ** out of my family and business. I will always tell everyone to avoid T-Mobile like the plague.

If you bought a device from T-Mobile, make sure you unlock it as soon as it is eligible. Otherwise, you will have to get all the frustration coming from the unlock process. When I requested to unlock my iPhones, the process was so easy. I accidentally mentioned the reason I wanted to unlock because I want to change my carrier. It is probably the reason leading to all the problems. Within 12 hrs, I received an email with unlock reference and unlock instructions (just plug in non-T-Mobile sim card and that's it). I thought T-Mobile was so nice, but it's not. The unlock didn't work. I called back and forth like 10 times. They push responsibility to Apple, but Apple insist that they do nothing with lock/unlocking devices. It must be done from the carrier.
After the last call, there is a lady called me back and convinced me to go to T-Mobile store for physical assistance. I already insisted that it's not necessary. But she insisted that she would be on the phone, and both representatives would be able to fix the issue within the day. She told me to call her back or she would call me back in 30 mins. An hour later, I didn't receive her call back, and I'm not able to reach her. The current representative could identify who called me earlier but refused connecting me to her. And then this representative started a new request. It is like starting everything over again while this has been done a week ago. So I insisted to talk to the previous representative, and then she told me that the previous lady asked me to go to Apple store, not T-Mobile store.
I was like wtf??? She fooled me to waste more time, because I was an annoying customer? In 10 calls I made, they all mentioned that I should have my phone unlocked by 24 hrs. Probably they had to say that because of the law. But seems that they want to keep me for another billing period or as long as possible. I'm going to report them right now.

We were T-Mobile's customers for 14 years! That's right. 14 years. We weren't under any contract, nor were we satisfied with their customer service, we were just too busy to switch. In June of this year, we moved to Europe. We weren't under any kind of contract with T-Mobile, but we notified them a month in advance that we are leaving the country. They said, "No problem, we have to bill you in advance, because of our billing cycle, but then we will refund you."
Instead of them refunding us for a month, they made up a debt of 2.5 times our monthly bill and sent it to collections. My husband even talked to them twice on the phone, and both times they promised a refund, but instead they sent this made-up sum to collections, potentially damaging our credit and wasting our time, not to mention that they still owe us money. They charged us for a month we cancelled and were in Europe not using their services. We will definitely be using another provider when we move back to the States.

Then finally at the end with none of my questions answered she told me she would send me emails that would answer everything in detail and when I saw the emails they had no information.

At that point I asked to speak to a manager and when he got on the line he said all he could do was apologize and that they are working on making sure this doesn't continue to happen but that this was an issue for them. The customer representatives push orders through just to meet quota and they do not tell you the truth on the phone just to get you to agree but when you receive your order it's wrong and when your bill comes it is nothing like they say. It's always more. So be careful if you are going to purchase anything from T-Mobile...

However, upon speaking with 2 representatives one of which was in the "Customer Satisfaction Department", I was still left as an unsatisfied customer, and told that the promotion had expired and that the web department needed to remove the ad. However, the representative originally indicated that since the deal was still posted on the website with no expiration date notated, they would need to honor it.
However, by the end of the call I was told that since they don't have any phones presently in stock they could not give me the deal. I pointed out that the ad gave the option to find the phones at the "nearest store" as well, however, the representative was unwilling to contact them on my behalf in order to get the deal processed. I was instead offered a higher family plan as well as a more expensive option iPhone to purchase.

On 4/7 I was offered buy you out of your contract, 4 lines at #140, Netflix, & buy one Samsung Galaxy S9 get the second one free. I was sent the wrong phone & billed for both. After an apology, receiving the right phone & returning the wrong one, I was billed for 3 phones. I spent 3 months arguing & was then told I couldn't have the rebate & buy one get one free. I settled for the buy one get one free but it's 2 months later & I'm still being billed for 2 phones. The 4 lines for $140 was also denied, I was advised the sale ended 3/31 & the sales rep was wrong. T-Mobile refused to honor the deal or to even look into it. A rep even said the sales dept will do anything for a sale, but won't honor the quoted price even though it was their error.

I signed up with T-Mobile because of these 5 star reviews which now I do not believe are legitimate AT ALL!! It took me nearly a year to finally drop T-Mobile. Anytime you call, it's an automated system and there is always a problem with talking to a person that can solve any problem. The people are ALWAYS in India and try to hide their thick accents. I finally was able to switch to my present phone service and now two months later... I get a letter saying I have a 4 cents credit. But, at the bottom it says I have a 4 cents PAST DUE bill!!! I call and call and as usual it's a part time job for anyone to talk to me and of course it's an Indian dude who can't help me because my acct is closed and my code doesnt work. TWO MONTHS LATER AND I'M STILL TAKING TIME FROM WORK TO DEAL WITH THESE PEOPLE!! I now have Verizon and I will NEVER go back. NOT EVEN THEY OFFERED TO PAY ME FOR USING MY PHONE!!

On my 3rd visit to finally start the process of leaving ATT I was confronted with previously undisclosed details which caused me to keep my ATT account with 3 cell phones. The manager claimed I had been told that one could only choose one special when in fact his salesman offered the pricing detail with the special on the phone. Had they agreed I would have saved $45 a month versus my ATT using the fact that I was a military veteran. Good deal gone sour, the $45 savings gave me new phone when I did not need them so really there was no savings. Just a slide of hand.

T-Mobile great deal till phones wouldn’t work. Customer service. Wow, answered phone right away, the 3 days I called. Only one I could really hear and understand and I’m not hard of hearing. Phones were fixed till you hung up. No stores within 100 miles. Went to store. Treated rudely. Same thing. Quit working. Doesn’t matter how fast they answer phone if they can’t fix the problem. Doesn’t matter how cheap the plan if you have 2 phones that don’t work. Funny both phones worked fine for a few weeks. This was not just a dead spot but everywhere. Offered to drive 100 miles for different phones, ha. Decided to drive 20 miles to different cell phone company. Summary - Cheap plans. Customer service stinks. No stores in most areas.

I get routed to a supervisor and she says she can file an incident report, but when I ask about getting reimbursed for the auto pay charge, the connection 'suddenly' disconnects. The supervisor explicitly asked for a callback number but I haven't received a call back after the phone call disconnected. Very horrible service from a company that I don't even use. Ironically, on the same day T-Mobile announced their "team of experts that will handle your issue from front to end."

I got a pre-paid sim card and I paid close to $70 for a month. A few days later I register on their website so I can review my options and downgraded my plan because their service was so bad. Definitely not worth the $70 per month. Their website gives me an error message that I am not authorized to access my account. I call their support and after waiting, on hold and two transfers, I get in touch with someone who barely speaks English and she assures me that she is the technical support and this is a known issue and she will open a ticket and they will fix my account in 48 hours. A few days later I get 3 text messages from T-Mobile assuring me that they fixed my account and a weird message that my pin code has been changed when I clearly did not request a pin code change.
Three weeks later I am asked to refill my account and I go on the website to choose a cheaper plan and refill my account by credit card. Guess what? I get the same error message that I am not authorized to access my account. I call the support team again, I have to go through 2 people to explain how I did not change my pin code until they finally change it back. Then I get to talk with someone from the technical support and explain how I have the same issue from 3 weeks ago and I cannot access my account and I have no phone and they tell me the same, it is a known issue and you have to wait for a ticket.
I insist on escalating and talking to someone who can resolve my issue now because I don't trust their offshore who were supposed to fix this a month ago and I need to refill my account today because they suspended my service. After 2 hours on calls and on hold, the call just dropped and they did not resolve my issue. I talked to multiple support representatives, they told me all kinds of excuses like: "This is a known issue that just happened today", "We don't have access to fix your account, we need to send a ticket for the back office. The back office does not have a number so they cannot call them. The back office is not available now, they are off hours." This happens at 6 pm EST which is really working hours in most of the US timezones.
"We will give you a credit to compensate you." But then he has no access to give me a credit, he has to ask a supervisor, then I wait on hold for 30 min and they just drop the call and disappear. I call back and I get to another person who knows nothing about my case and starts all over with the lies." So they have this known issue for the accounts on their websites for at least a month maybe even more and they are doing nothing to fix it and they have the worst customer services ever. They outsources all the jobs to some offshore location in India and most of the people barely speak English. You spend hours on hold and get transferred from one person to another and your issue is still not resolved at the end.

I went abroad for three months and I set my account to “Pay as You Go”. When I landed in New York July 28th I switched my account back to “Simply Prepaid” by paying the corresponding fee. I received a confirmation message: 7/28/2018, Free T-Mobile Msg: We made your requested change to your monthly plan effective 07/28/2018. Visit http://My.T-Mobile.com for your plan details. On August 6th, 9 days later, I got another message asking me to refill my plan again as it would expire on August 8th. I thought, this is obviously a mistake: 8/8/2018, Free TMO MSG: If you haven't already, please refill your plan to ensure continued service by visiting t-mobile.com/refill or calling 611 before 12:01 AM in tomorrow. Please disregard if you've already paid for next month's service.
I called Customer Support by dialing 611. After a 2-hour wait for a callback, I got on the line a rep barely able to speak in English and plainly not eager to help. After a few minutes trying to explain the problem the line went dead, and that was that. Next day I tried again. This time I waited almost 3 hours for a callback. The rep was also barely intelligible, but at least he was enthusiastic. He said his name was “John” and he was there to help me. He kept repeating it. After explaining than I could not be charged for 2 refills within a 9-day period, he put me on hold. When he came back on the line, he said he had “good news”. He went on in an incoherent and unintelligible babble I could barely follow.
I understood him saying that because I was such a “old and loyal customer” he had been authorized to extend my refill for a month “free of charge”. I didn’t want to complicate things my reminding him I had paid for the refill just 9 days before. He reminded me his name was “John” and he was there to help me. I thanked him. He reminded me one last time that his name was “John” and he was there to help me. We said goodbye. He followed with a message: 8/8/2018, Thank you for allowing me to assist you today! Please rest assured that I addressed all the concerns you shared with me. - John @T-Mobile
Next day, August 9th, I checked my account. It had not been reset. I tried to make a phone call. The service was interrupted. “John” had failed to help.

Wow, what a disappointment T-Mobile turned out to be. I had been with AT&T for nearly 20 years when I made the switch to T-Mobile. The person at the store was very friendly and helpful up to the point where I was told I had to put down a deposit on the new phones we wanted. I asked how much of a deposit we have to put down for the iPhone 8's we are wanting. The clerk tells me $360.00 for each phone plus I have to pay the taxes up front on both for a total of more than $800.00. I asked why such a high deposit. The clerk tell me it's my credit. I have an excellent credit rating with all three credit bureaus. So I asked for more details and was informed I would have to call the credit department at T-Mobile.
They turn out to be as helpful as the clerk at the store. So the iPhone 8 is $699.99 each plus tax and you get a gift card for $700.00 when you sign up for a 24 month plan. You pay an additional fee on your plan for the first iPhone of $29.99 for that 24 months or until you pay off the first phone. T-Mobile wants me to pay $720.00 plus the taxes on both phones up front, then I will get a gift card for the second phone in the amount of $700.00. At which point both phones will be paid off and I will no longer be under a contract. Looks like the T-Mobile BOGO promotion is a scam. Also I was told, that if I stayed with T-Mobile for a year and didn't miss any payments, they wouldn't check my credit.

For Christmas in 2017 I added my grandson onto my account and got him a phone. While adding him on I was told I should be at the 55 plus rate which would bring my bill down to $35.00 a line. This was offered to me and not something I requested. The way it was explained to me was that it was an add on to the plan I had which would lower my cost $5.00 per line. My grandson has enlisted in the military and decided to get his own service. He went to Verizon and got a good deal and new phone with the trade in for the one I just got him.

I get my bill and my account is still being charged for both lines but they prorated the insurance coverage and removed his account. I called them and was told they were sorry and they could fix the issue. The rep said that it appeared no one put it back to the original plan of having only one line. I thought 'well this is working out without any hitches'. But I was wrong.
The rep started to say that I had been being charged $75.00 per month for one line and that she could put me on the 55 plus which would lower it to $55.00. When I questioned her why it wasn't going back to the $35.00 she told me it was because I had switched plans and that she couldn't recall any $40.00 per month plan that they offered! (Remember the commercials for it and the big pink posters in their stores?)
I informed her I was not okay with that and that I expected the same plan I had before I added the extra line. She put me on hold, came back and said her manager said they couldn't do anything for me and that they too didn't remember the $40.00 per line w/taxes included promotion. I told her to look at my bills and see how much I was paying. She said she did but there was nothing she could do except put me on the 55 plus plan. I will be going back to Sprint.

They probably dropped the phone when they received it, then took a photo and blamed it on me. Now I'm being charged $439. I could have gone through the insurance for $150, but wasn't even given that option with the representative and no of this was explained to me beforehand (using insurance verse warranty risks). They have me over a barrel and can say whatever they want about the phone now that it's in their possession. They just didn't want to honor my warranty. I'm going to leave T-Mobile after I pay off this scam. Smarmy business practices.

After signing up for T-Mobile to facilitate my frequent European travel, but also experiencing years of paying too much for shoddy US coverage, I decided to dump T-Mobile and switch to AT&T. I was then surprised to find that the phone I had paid off nearly a year ago was still locked. I called T-Mobile to have it unlocked and was assured this would happen in 24-48 hours. After 5 days of no confirmation I called again to check status and was told the phone was unlocked. I then proceed to open an AT&T account and had the number ported over, only to find that the phone had NOT been unlocked! At this point AT&T could not proceed, and in the process my account at T-Mobile was discontinued and no one at T-Mobile could give me a firm commitment of when my phone would be unlocked. Some said 24 hours, others said perhaps a week.
I am now going on day 2 without a cell phone or voicemail which I use routinely for personal and business. I must have spoken to half a dozen T-Mobile customer service people, if you want to call them that. My experience is that 90% of them read off of sheets and couldn't give a rat's ** about something as inconvenient as a customer. Only one tech was brave enough to give me his ID number while all the others hid under first names like ** actors. I even stopped into my local T-Mobile shop in Westford, MA where I met two people behind the counter in an empty store. They clearly had no interest in me or my problem and I was finally told there was nothing they could do.
It is obvious T-Mobile has made a big push to compete with the dominant players in the industry even though their coverage sucks in comparison. They like to lie about that also. I've had to rent signal boosters in my 'good coverage' zone to use my phone at home. But the latest antics holding a customer's phone hostage in order to cling to an account should be a criminal offense. They have cost me hours, and nowadays of lost time and aggravation, who knows how much business, and personal stress. Is there no recourse for such gangsterism?

We were with T-Mobile in the past and did not have very good coverage. The last straw was when one of the specialist switched the auto pay from my son's card to my bank account without our knowledge or permission. When we heard that the 600 and 700 mhz service was good in rural areas we decided to give them another try. Two months in and I have spent half my life trying to work with the office of the president to no avail. When we went into the store we were told that they would pay our switching fees from our old carrier. I even asked them to "double check" and was assured we would be paid for all four of our devices. My son and daughter live in another state and the salesperson at that store sold him a phone which apparently deducted 310.00 off switching fees which was never explained. My daughter turned in an Essential which we still to this day have not been reimbursed for.
When we asked for the phone back since they were not going to pay what they promised they will not return! Basically they hijacked the phone. We waited as we were instructed for the last bill from our previous carrier. We turned it in only to have them tell us a phone was reimbursed the last time we were with T-Mobile, however, my daughter never turned in a phone and the two of the specialist verified that no phones were turned in. Consequently, I wrote the Better Business Bureau and the Office of the President has now given us different information. They claim a phone was turned in and a card was issued for it in in the past, however, they sent the card to someone other than the account holder. They are so disorganized at the expense of an innocent consumer. This has been going on for a month and now it puts us past the 14 day return period.
Bottom line is that T-Mobile sales associates lied to us and gave us bad information over and over until it was too late to change our minds. Had they given us correct information to begin with; we would never have switched back. Nobody at T-Mobile has access to the proper information to give to consumers to base their decisions on. This is very deceptive and should not be allowed. They "took" my daughter's phone and will not return it and haven't reimbursed what it was worth. We would have turned the phone back to the previous carrier and gotten more than what we were given for the phone had the T-Mobile rep given us accurate information.
We are senior citizens now stuck with a huge bill from our previous carrier we were not anticipating based on lies told to us by several T-Mobile employees. We will have to pass on needed medical appointments in order to pay our previous carrier. We could never recommend T-Mobile to anybody. They lie to the consumer and they took our phone without reimbursement. T-Mobile has been a NIGHTMARE for us and we wish we never switched back.

My experience with T-Mobile has been mostly good, but lately, it has been so awful. I have been a loyal customer of theirs for almost 15 years. I have brought them so much customers and business and I've been doing that for free. Yes, FREE. During a hard time (hitting rock bottom with two kids to feed and bills to pay) in my life, I thought, "Why not get paid for what I'm already doing - which is pushing the company's name to different people?" I thought to apply, send my resume online, and even check up on my status. T-Mobile decided not to move forward with my application with no contact except to tell me... "T-Mobile decided not to move forward with my application." Then I've decided to move on and try a couple of the independent stores utilizing the same brand.
One store tells me to fill out the application using Indeed. I did just that and never heard back from them. The other store (which is located in the same town I reside in) only had TWO employees which dropped to ONE employee after the store manager left. When the store manager was there, I heard excuse after excuse on why I haven't been hired yet and when he was gone leaving the roster to ONE employee in that store, nothing got any better. I had to listen about how they lost their district manager to the store manager leaving to store managers aren't responsible for hiring people; but no phone call, no interview, not even one bit of communication from a "communication company." No loyalty whatsoever and no one to talk to about this problem.
I had T-Mobile's back when it came to pushing their name for almost 15 years and when it came down to working for them, I feel like a heavy door just keeps being slammed in my face over and over. I went back to the store in my town and over a short few days including a weekend, they have managed to hire one new person who was one of the rudest sales associates I have ever seen and talked to. So, the company decides to go with someone else based on experience from what I am hearing and seeing instead of hiring someone brand new or (my personal favorite) bringing in both parties seeing as the entire store only had ONE associate.
T-Mobile decides to leave one to hang dry and hire the worst kind of sales associate. I do hear a lot of smokescreen talk like what corporate stores and independent stores do and how they are ran differently, which is complete trash, not that it's true or false, but that it is complete trash and a fail-safe. You are given a brand to represent, yet everyone is on a different page. This is why stores are one brand like T-Mobile one day and tomorrow, the same building is an AT&T store.
Hiring should be done in a process which ALL stores utilize. Also, store managers should be in charge of hiring. Having to go through an extremely busy district or VP manager that would forget their own head if it wasn't attached due to how busy they may be makes for a bad way to fill a store with much needed and good associates. At this point, I am undecided on whether I even want to stay with a company that isn't even willing to at the VERY LEAST speak to me about employment. I completely understand checking on the status of an application, but when I FEEL LIKE I am now harassing the store for a conversation or an interview just to have the store tell me to go to another store in another town and apply there is a problem in itself.

I called them and told them their error. They said they would refund my money and close my account. They refunded me $100 and still owe me $100 and only remove my credit card from the account, they did not close it. Since then I have received a bill saying that I owed them more money, a letter from one collection agency and then a second collection agency. After receiving each of these, I called T-Mobile to get this taken care of and ask for my $100 dollars.

I was given a phone by a relative who used it to develop apps, and he never bought a sim card in it or used phone service on it. I wanted to use it while in Korea, but found out it was locked to T-Mobile. I called customer service, they checked to make sure it was not stolen, etc, and told me I could unlock it if I bought a sim card and had service with them for 40 days. So I bought a sim card from them, and signed up for service. After 40 days, I called back, but was then told I could not unlock it because there was an unpaid balance on it from before I had it. I thought this was very very unlikely, given what my relative told me of its history, and asked if I could simply pay the balance owed and get it unlocked. Nope, they wouldn't consider that, nor would they tell me anything about the balance.
Since my relative got it new, and never activated it, there is no previous owner I can contact about the balance. So customer service basically said there was nothing I could do to unlock it. I then asked for a refund of the money I paid for the sim card and 40 days of service, but they refused. I pointed out that the only reason I bought the sim card, and signed up for service, was because they told me if I did so I could unlock the phone. Furthermore, I didn't use the phone at all during those 40 days; not a single phone call. Even though the agent seemed to admit that I'd been misled, she said that I'd had service for 40 days (even if I never used it) and needed to pay for that.
To the agent's credit, she seemed to realize that I'd been treated badly, but she wouldn't do anything to make it right. I would not have complained if I was told in the beginning that it couldn't be unlocked, but they checked the IMEI number of the phone in the beginning and told me there would be no problem unlocking it if I got a sim card and got service for 40 days. Needless to say, I'm never using T-Mobile again, if this is how they treat customers.

We told the customer service rep that we called earlier and was told it was going to take only 24 hours, then she replies: "Oh yeah, I can give you an exception and it will take just 24 hours". So, just to validate what the 2nd customer service rep said, we called the 3rd time, this time the customer service rep told us she could not find any record showing that we have requested unlock our phone, and she will need to submit a new request.

Customer service is also worthless, not being able to correct anything for you. My advice to anyone is to shop Verizon or AT&T.

Tried to file a claim for my phone (mechanical failure) but T-Mobile and Assurant went around in circles on who was responsible in replacing my phone. It was because my phone was already a year and a half yr old. It passed the warranty. However I took the insurance that way, when something goes wrong they can replace it. Apparently they won’t because I originally got the phone from another carrier. I got passed around so many times (between T-Mobile/Assurant/Apple). There’s even one rep (lady) that she said she will put me on hold to verify info, then she just hanged up. Maybe because she did not want to hear me because I was so frustrated (who wouldn’t)?... can you just imagine how I got more frustrated when she did that. It meant I needed to call T-Mobile again and wait another time to get in touch again.
T-Mobile needs to improve their customer service. Every time I call T-Mobile CS it usually takes 5-10-15 minutes before someone picks up the phone. Then after customer rep answers the phone she again transferred me to another department. Then another then another. Back and forth between T-Mobile, Assurant, and Apple tech dept. literally, it took 5 hell long hours to resolve the issue. T-Mobile sucks big time when it comes to customer service.

They also give away all types of free items through the app. Their app is a plus because it is able to handle many problems.
One more BIG plus is they are transitioning to where all call centers will be in the USA AND the next step is when you call you will be assigned to “that” call center and from then on there will always be someone who has either spoken with you in the past or their coworker has assisted you. They all know each other in each specific call center so that will be fantastic. I wish every company would do this but I feel they are a first and therefore I will continue to deal with poor reception when out and about for that reason.

So I tried to call **. It’s a conference calling service I use for my job located in IA. I get charged 1 cents a minute because T-Mobile doesn’t support it?!! How come?! Same PSTN as everyone else. I transferred from AT&T to T-Mobile... Big mistake so far. I understand why Att and Verizon charges more. Their customer service is great. Here is the structure model. Verizon - Rich people, ATT - Middle class/rich, T-Mobile - poor, Metro PCS - very poor. T-Mobile advertises all these great things at low prices, but people don’t understand you are losing a lot on the backend. Better customer service, real features, better call quality. The free stuff they give on Tuesdays are just bones they throw at people so you don’t complain. All this to save $20 a month, I’m good!!! I’m within my 2 week period, I will be returning to ATT!

I had to cancelled the family plan due to not enough people. I tried to switch my mom's number to prepaid because she travels a lot. The agent told me everything is being taken care, I don't need to do anything. After few weeks I got $120 charge from T-mobile. I called them. They said it was because the line was never transfer out so it stays in the regular phone line. I explained to them the first person told me she did it but they said I need to actually called the prepaid dept to finish the transaction.
Anyway, they said there is no documentation so they can't help me even though I spoke to few different people already. They all said I will get the full refund. They don't admit their fault. They want the customer to take their mistake. (They tell you one thing but they don't document it so it doesn't count. According to them IT DOESNT COUNT). WORSE COMPANY!!! THE 4G IS A LIE TOO!!! I really think all their workers are not train at all. They don't know what they are saying. Switching my mom's prepaid to other company. Get away from T-mobile!

As far as I can tell, and given known service strength issues at my home, T-Mobile provides service equally as good as Verizon, which I had for about ten years, at about half the price for a comparable plan. There is no contract and I pay a flat rate every month. I receive a text that my bill is due, I pay it online, then receive a text my payment was received. Very clean, and not fancied-up with a lot of advertisements or promotional material I have to read to see that my payment was received. T-Mobile has provided good customer service, when I've needed it, and that hasn't been often because their product, i.e., system software, is intuitive and dependable. I do have to boost reception when at home by using my WiFi connection for faster Internet. But that's likely due to generally poor reception in my area. The T-Mobile service strength is very good otherwise.

After having been with Verizon 20+ years I attempted to save a few bucks. Well hard lesson learned. You get exactly what you pay for. T-Mobile has the worst coverage. I had no service in my house, in the neighborhood, at work, or when I moved 30 miles across town. I live in Phoenix metro not a field In the middle of nowhere despite what the horrible reception would lead one to believe. Boosters did nothing to help. The non-stop “wait another month or two. We will have towers build there next month” blah blah. I heard it for 9 months. So I had enough and lost the 1k I spent on the phone and went back to Verizon. Paid off everything I owed in full according to manager at the store.
Due to the nightmares I have heard and read of T-Mobile ripping people off, charging for services not used, and numerous devious practices I insisted on meeting with a manager in person and obtaining receipts (too bad I didn’t audio record looking back). Done. Whew! Nope... threats of owing $350 for a booster I returned. After 3 phone calls and a receipt proving they were wrong they drop that. Next comes a bill 6 weeks later saying I owe another $20. Fight with them on the phone to no avail. Pay it to rid of the nightmare.
Well today I get another bill. Mind you 3 weeks after that for $30 and a threat to take me to collections. This time I recorded everything. I’m quite sure these unscrupulous thieves will continue to send nonexistent bills to further attempt to recover for the hemorrhaging clientele. This company is horrendous and if they continue as they are will once again sink as they did before. The store will tell you one thing, the phone staff will tell you many other different things. None of them take responsibility for any of their actions. Worst company I have ever dealt with. Bon voyage criminals.

They have great service altogether! The cell phone service is awesome. They are a little high in what they charge, but they deliver what they promise. I would recommend them. Word of mouth is the best advertisement!

Just stay away from T-Mobile in general. If you call their customer service - they’re absolutely worthless, 99% they gonna tell you to go to local T-Mobile store, at the store they will tell you to call customer service. It happens multiple times. If you are military forget about your discount, technically it does exist, but nobody will move a finger to help you get it.

We live in the middle of midtown Phoenix and we get lousy service only in this hood! At the most I get 2 bars and calls are dropped constantly. We’ve told T-Mobile but they don’t care. If it hadn’t been for T-Mobile's no contract and competitive pricing for smart phones and service we wouldn’t be able to have a smart phone. So I don’t want to complain too much, however I find it very disappointing that when I go into my neighborhood and want to talk on the phone in my house or even my backyard my connection is just completely poor and calls drop all the time. This does not happen when I leave my neighborhood and I travel and work elsewhere in the city. Furthermore, customer service has been really bad at times and pretty decent at times but no one has ever been able to tell me why my reception is this way.

Stay Away from T-Mobile. Don't fall into their trap into getting free signal 4G LTE Boosters and a post account phone on payments in a contract with zero no coverage and no dependable signal, crappy customer service in 4 different countries and a corporate office that lies about everything in the business of getting your bank information to screw you and take money out of your account without your consent. Also they constantly will remove you as the primary account holder and before you know it your privacy and account information is stolen by hackers and T-Mobile.
The T-Mobile phones, watches, devices even if unlocked will not work with any other provider so it's useless unless you stay with crappy T-Mobile. T-Mobile will throttle your 4G LTE data speeds and tell you lies saying it's coverage issues. Also all T-Mobile stores are not corporate stores. They are 3rd party stores in the business of harassing you, telling you lies to scam you and make sales off you, they will even use your family's death to sell you a phone with service and will threaten and harass you when you make complaints banning you from their store.
Their employees constantly complain they have no money and will ask to help them to pay their Bills. T-Mobile expect consumers to return devices if they choose or you choose to cancel service then you lose all the money you paid on those devices, if you don't return devices you will get reported to credit bureaus and they will screw up your credit, either way you lose and T-Mobile wins. T-Mobile has no morals, no respect, no liability, no dependability, no credibility and no honesty. Stay away from T-Mobile.

Having been with Verizon for 20 years before falling for T-Mobile's buy one get one free phone ruse. This had to be the dumbest move I ever made. Every aspect of T Mobile from walking into the store to eventually having my phones unlocked was made living hell. I could write book but lets get to the point, DON'T SIGN UP FOR T MOBILE. YOU WILL LIVE TO REGRET IT. They lie about their service and their coverage map is a joke. My wife was involved in a car accident 50 miles from Burlington, VT and couldn't make a phone call or dial 911. I documented no coverage on Route 22 for 30 miles as well as parts of upper NY state. In Palm Beach Florida the reception would go in and out on a regular basis.
In New Hope Pa which is between Philadelphia and New York way many areas have no coverage or just 1 bar. Their customer service is nonexistent and all calls are routed to Taiwan where the people might speak English but have no communication skills. The 2 for 1 deal turned out to be a gift card that I had to apply for online and wait 3 billing cycles to finally receive the card. This T Mobile ruse had you making at least 3 interest payments before my phones were paid off. They never unlocked my phones falsely stating I owed them money. Finally someone in their resolutions department took pity and straightened things out. I have had 19 hours of my life wasted dealing with this awful company run by fools and liars.

They were my provider for a long time and I never had a problem with them. If I had a minor dispute customer service was excellent. This company bends over backwards to help their customers with any problems. The best part is that there’s hardly ever a problem with their service but it’s nice to know if you encounter a problem the people at customer service are a pleasure to speak to. I recommend this provider highly.

I switched my family plan from Sprint to T-Mobile about 3 years ago. I've always had reliable service on my devices and whenever I needed to upgrade a phone, add a family member, fix the rare billing issue, amazing service. When I've needed customer service, they've taken great care of me. Always had great coverage too.

My son bought a T-Mobile phone and phone card just to find out after hours of dealing with customer care to find out that they don't have service in our area and yet their phone's still gets sold in our area. The customer care also stated that I had ** amount of time to send receipts for phone and card. They also gave me the wrong mailing address in which case they corrected it at the post office. So it's like they wanted me not to have it mailed there in time. It still cost me a certain amount to mail it in which they refused to reimburse. I really feel like there is some very shady people that work for T-Mobile and it was someone high up the ladder that gave me the wrong address. I would not go with T-mobile for anything, even if it was free and I really think that their service probably sucks.
