    I was really pleased with the customer service I received at the San Luis Obispo location when visiting from Canada. I had a bad experience with a sim bundle I bought from Best Buy that I was told would work on my iPhone 6 but didn’t and then I couldn’t get a refund after wasting an hour of my time. The next day I walked into T-Mobile and in a couple of minutes I had a working phone with unlimited everything for next to nothing for the week I was in the US. Such helpful and friendly service, T-Mobile is my go to for my next trip south of the border.

    I am very disappointed with T-Mobile I… I am very disappointed with Metro T-Mobile at 110 Steamboat Bend in Hannibal. I have a very weak signal. I get disconnected a lot. My internet is extremely slow and my SIM card is barely recognize most of time and I have to constantly restart my phone. I went to the store at 110 Steamboat bend in Hannibal Missouri to see if they could help me and they could not help me in the store but they said that they could replace my phone and would call me when it gets in. When ever that will be. The Lady I spoke with seemed to be very grumpy or in a bad mood. I feel the store in Hannibal could care more about its customers and have replacements for defective phones. I'm starting to regret leaving US Cellular. I feel so sad about getting a defective phone???

    My complaint today goes way beyond the 100 words that I am allowed to post here. I recently experienced the worst and most unprofessional customer service from the company T-Mobile that I have experienced in my entire life. The company currently is employing the worst of the worst when it comes to their choice for staffing employees. They offer nothing but poor customer Service. The customer service department is very argumentative, they do not believe in satisfying the customer needs or offering quality customer service, in fact they do not believe that the customers is always right. Their attitude is that they right and you the customer are not.. They work hard at making your experience one of unpleasantness and they do it at all cost.

    They even make up lies in order to charge consumers for faulty products that they represent and sell to consumers leaving you the customer to pay for these faulty devices and charge you excessive. **HEAD THE WARNING.** If you have T-Mobile as your current phone service provider I urge you to choose another provider one who will be honest and put you the customer first... Do Not use T-Mobile as your phone service provider. You will only regret your decision. I have so much more that I could say about this experience as I have mentioned above that 100 Words will not be enough to describe this horrific experience. **DO NOT STOP, KEEP WALKING PAST T-MOBILE. THEY ARE NOT A GOOD CHOICE PROVIDER. **

    This company is one big $43 billion dollar rip off. The reception is horrible. I have a collection of screenshots where it said I had full 4G service yet my Google search timed out due to lack of connection. Their customer service is atrocious! They either don't know what they're talking about or they straight lie to you. A couple years back they changed my plan without telling me and when I called them out on it they lied and said my old plan never existed, like I had imagined the previous year and a half.

    I just moved 20 minutes outside of a major college town and now my service inside my house wavers between 1 bar and emergency service only. Their Tuesday thankings are a joke 95% of the time. I'm paying $120 for one line of service and this week the only thanking is a BOGO pizza coupon, cause that makes up for over-priced crappy service. Save yourself the headache and go with Verizon. As soon as I'm done paying off this phone that they lied to me about I'm out!

    I have been a loyal T-mobile customer for several years, and recently received a promotion to add a 2nd line for a specific price. I took my son in with me, and we spent a couple HOURS changing him over to T-mobile to get the deal. Both lines work fine, however I can no longer log in to My T-mobile online account. I called and was told I had to create a new email account to go with my new number. Except, I do not have a new number. After a few more phone calls, including a lengthy one with technical support, I decided to try and link my number to a new email address, but I received the same error message.

    In the meantime, I also received a text notification that I would be billed for my old amount (after I already paid the new amount less than a week ago). So then I was told I need to contact my credit card and have them dispute the charges for any future old amount billings. I still do not have any way to access my account online. I do not have any way to set up auto-pay for the new service deal. And I have not received any call back in over a week for the customer support ticket they created. I am extremely frustrated and disappointed, and if I find a similar deal with any other carrier I will immediately be switching our service over.

    I recently spoke to a customer service rep at T-Mobile and have now decided I am switching providers. I have been having network issues, I explained to the rep that my coverage and my service have been quite bad recently - after moving to Queens, NY. He didn't seem to care a lot and just kept repeating "we'd hate to lose a customer" without providing any solutions to my issues. Just yesterday I had no internet for 3 hours straight!

    In addition to poor network and bumpy internet I got an extra high bill this month, here is why: I made a call to Spain that lasted 8 minutes, I do not have an international plan so I was charged per minute - the total, including taxes, came to a little over $26. T-Mobile's rate is $3 per minute. My bill was obviously more expensive than usual and when I contacted them and came to learn about their shocking rates I was extremely dissatisfied. Then the rep went on to tell me that they have the cheapest international rates in the market. This is simply untrue, after a quick google search I found that Verizon has a rate of $1.99 and an option to add an international plan for $5, instead of the $15 that T-Mobile charges. They are quick to overcharge (above market rates). Not so quick to provide the service that you are actually paying for. Well T-Mobile you didn't just lose one customer, I'm leaving and taking my entire family with me!

    Their service is terrible. Generally only 0 to 2 bars even when there is a T-Mobile tower close by. Had to get rid of T-mobile which meant I only got $30.00 out of my trade that they said I would receive $175.00. They cost me a considerable amount of money since I use my phone for business. I feel totally ripped off as a consumer in lieu of what I was told at the corporate store at Summit Mall in Fairlawn, Ohio.

    I have been with T-Mobile for 19 yrs and I have 6 lines with them, TMobile have promotion on the Note10. Buy one get the second free. So I called to take advantage of the deal, I was told in order to get the deal I have to add new line which is I have now problem but also they wanted to change my plan and thats the part I didnt like because I'm happy with my plan and I dont wanna change it. So they refused to give the deal and I called more than one time hoping that I can talk to a nice person who can override the system and make it happen without changing my plan but didnt happen also. I have talked to more than one supervisor and the answer was no. The point is that T-Mobile doesn't appreciate that I have been a loyal customer, how come they make it happen for new customers. So now it's the time go to another carrier.

    My experience with T-Mobile was relatively decent until I decided to switch the cellular carrier. I was T-Mobile's customer for 21 years until my new boyfriend has suggested that I overpay for my service ($120/month for 2 lines) and advised to switch the carrier. I have requested to post out my number, but could not complete the transaction because apparently T-Mobile has locked my device. This was the 2nd telephone that I was buying for cash intentionally paying the whole price without any 2-year contacts, so I could use other carriers outside the USA on my travels. Imagine how surprised I was when I learned that my phone is still locked by T-Mobile without any reason and my knowledge.

    I called them on Tuesday to unlock it and was told that I have to wait for 72 hours to get this unlocked. I did not believe this is fair because my phone should not be locked on the first place. I have requested my case to be expedited and they promised to do it within 24 hours. Well, after 3 days and countless calls to the customer service and/or customer care department, I am still without the phone. They also told me that they lock all the phones for 40 days regardless of method of purchase. In my case, I purchased the phone directly from Samsung, but T-Mobile still locked it. I could not possibly give T-Mobile a lower recommendation. The service is terrible and the employees are incompetent. They do not know what they are doing. I just need to get my phone back. It is very expensive phone for almost $800 and I don't want to lose it because their technicians are low-skilled.

    My experience with T-Mobile was relatively decent until I decided to cancel service. I will say that I believe their coverage maps are deceptive. T-Mobile was by far the poorest coverage I've ever experienced, and outside of a major city you can pretty much count on zero talk/data coverage with rare exceptions. Early in June I cancelled all of my service. However, the agent I spoke with failed to cancel one of the lines and I received another bill the next month for the full family data plan and one line. I called to dispute the bill and the agent assured me that I would be credited and not to worry about it. A month later, I got billed for another month! It has now been almost 4 months and approximately 10 calls to customer service since I cancelled. Now I'm getting late payment fees on their errors. I could not possibly give T-Mobile a lower recommendation. The service is terrible and the employees are incompetent.

    I switched my mobile phone service from T-Mobile to another carrier. But they were still charging to the mobile hotspot. I contacted them by phone to cancel that service. They needed a pin to access my account and my old pin did not work. I called and spoke to a person and she said she will take care of canceling my account. But it looks like my line was not canceled. I kept calling them several times, and they keep saying they can't access my account without pin and asked me to go to the store.

    I went to T-Mobile store in Tysons Corner and the woman said she cannot help with canceling, If she does it, she said she will lose her job. We kept doing this for several times. Finally, I went to the store and begged the person to help. FInally she helped to cancel the account. The person who spoke to me over the phone said she will take care of crediting all bills that were charged to me incorrectly. But now I am getting calls from the collection agency. When I call T-Mobile they keep asking for pin # which I don't have. They cannot help me without pin # and store people won't talk to me. I wasted more than 40 hours of my personal time dealing with switching phone service and I am stuck with bills for more than $200 without any recourse. I am getting harassment calls from a collection agency on my mobile phone during office hours.

    T-mobile is telling me that the two iPhones that was purchased using my account which I knew nothing about until after it happened I was charged 443 00. I was told by a person who called to send the phones back to T-mobile through FedEx which I did well. T-mobile won't refund my money till they get their stupid phones back. They also charged me for two extra lines that I did not purchased. I have talked to 12 reps and all I get is the same ** line saying, "We can't help you." Yet I filed a fraud report with them and with my bank also a police report. If you sign their agreement terms you're stuck because you have to for the company to make a decision on your account.

    I went to our store located in Wenatchee WA. My husband and I did the bogo promotion on a Galaxy watches. Later I paid the one off and we decided to disconnect the lines connected to them seeing how our watches never worked properly with the lines. I was told by a supposed expert that disconnecting the lines would not bother the bogo promo seeing how I paid off the watch already. However they were wrong. Now I am paying full price for the second watch too.

    I also had cancelled a phone line (seeing how the person we were paying for that line had passed away). I was told it was cancelled. I just trusting their experts assumed they knew how to do something that simple but I was wrong. Months later I realized we were still paying for the phone line. I DO NOT RECOMMEND T-MOBILE TO ANYONE INCLUDING MY WORSE ENEMIES. THEY HAVE NO EXPERTS THAT KNOWS ANYTHING! And if you do decide to go through them do not believe everything they say.

    I am 63 and my significant other is 57. We were looking for a reasonable phone plan in our area for unlimited data, text, phone for 55+. We saw T-Mobile had a $90 plan for the 2 of us. We are located in a remote area of The Thumb in Michigan; so we called T-Mobile to ask about this plan, if our area was in their network, and to place an order based on our findings.

    We were connected to a sales person on Saturday, August 30, 2019 in New York. He walked us through a great deal that we jumped on for $90 a month billing with no taxes. He told us he'd send us two phones with sim cards; we'd receive them by Tuesday and we could set them up with no problems. He guaranteed us T-Mobile had service at our address. Wish he did his homework better because now begins our nightmare.

    Upon receiving the two new phones on Tuesday as he told us, we installed the sim cards and called T-Mobile customer service to set them up. We could NOT get a signal. We could not use these phones to place this call. The guy we talked to this time on Tuesday said we DO NOT GET SERVICE AT OUR ADDRESS! So why did the guy in New York tell us we did?

    T-Mobile may be able to offer service for our zip code, but not at our address and that doesn't help us. So, this 2nd person we spoke to called the Shipping Department and this 3rd person (a woman) sent us a return address label via email and with instructions from both these people (2nd and 3rd) we were in touch with, we packaged the phones up in the same box, placed the return shipping label on the box and prepared it for UPS shipment. This box went out UPS on Friday, August 30, 2019. It was tracked and received in Fort Worth, TX, on Thursday, September 5 (after Labor Day) at the T-Mobile dock as it should.

    It is now Monday, September 23, 2019, and we have no refund of the $74 for sim card charges and T-Mobile is billing us for one month of usage! We never were able to use these phones, but now are getting billed for usage. My significant other has called T-Mobile many times and they claimed they haven't located the phones and they claim the account is being charged monthly. He asked to talk to a supervisor and got hung up/disconnected numerous times trying to resolve this issue, explaining to every new person he'd get the problem which never ended in a solution so he asked me to try.

    I contacted my first T-Mobile person down in the Texas on Wednesday, September 18. I explained the situation and gave her the order #, account #, UPS tracking #, both phone numbers they gave us, everything I had. She was able to open up TWO research orders instead of just the one that someone else opened AND she put in the detailed information of the UPS tracking #. She also saw and understood that we never used these phones and that we were erroneously being charged for an account that was never actually put into usage. She said she would call my significant other back 4 days later. That call never came on Sunday, September 22. I had no clue why.

    Now, it is Monday, September 23 and I placed a call again to T-Mobile and was connected to Miranda in Idaho. Idaho happens to do the training for T-Mobile. She looked at everything using our order # and said that on Thursday, September 19 the review department looked at this issue and a return order was finally set up stating the phones had been returned. However, some newbie dismissed this issue at the next step seeing that this account was in usage without ever reading any notes!

    You can imagine how someone 63 feels when they keep hearing of the incompetence of the employees our issue falls into the hands of and how they will just dismiss it without any further investigation because they are either new or too lazy or incompetent to do their jobs correctly! Really now? What does one have to do to get proper handling of a situation like ours? Certainly, and through no fault of our own, a refund has still not been made or this account closed to this date because T-Mobile employees lack the proper experience to understand an issue and follow through the correct procedures. The two women I have talked with in Texas and Idaho have been conscientious and knowledgeable and the only ones that seem willing to help us.

    Today, while talking to Miranda, she was going to talk to the order support team located across the hall from her. She put me on hold and eventually I must've been on hold too long because my call went back into the queue and some younger customer service person answered it with "Can I help you?" and I tried to tell him I need to go back to the Idaho office to Miranda who had me on hold. He couldn't do that of course so I am back to trying to get someone in the United States by calling the customer service number again. I was waiting over 15 minutes twice already and got someone overseas each time and told them I need to call back and now I will not be calling back because the wait is 30 minutes!

    So, folks, if you are 55+ and looking for this same T-Mobile plan, go to Verizon because that is what we had to do. They offer a similar plan for $45 up to two people but you have to have an IL, FL or MO address. I am from IL and am using my family address there. I get great reception out here on The Thumb with Verizon. Got none with T-Mobile. We tried to do the right thing, tried to get what we thought would be a great plan at our age only to be told erroneous information and now are getting ripped off because of it. T-Mobile got their phones back, but we are still getting billed on an account never used with no refund for phones or account closed properly, T-Mobile has done nothing for us but given us grief and aggravation. What can we do? No one that can seem to resolve this issue.

    T-Mobile has randomly cancelled my cell coverage twice in the two months I've had their service, despite having prepaid for my account. They've provided no explanation and customer service hasn't been quick. Their app also won't work for my prepaid account on my new T-Mobile phone and their customer service can't fix it. And their online website keeps crashing and not letting me make changes; everything has to be done over the phone, which would be easier if my phone actually worked.

    They called themselves the Un-carrier in the past and bragged about all the things they brought to the table that other carriers didn’t. Of course, once you’re with them, you are excluded from many special promotions, or they create offers that guarantee new customers will buy in while existing customers will get screwed! I paid off my iPhone a few days before the launch of the new iPhone and waited for the preorders to begin... Well, T-Mobile never bothered to release any pricing or promotional information on the launch of the iPhone, until the morning it launched!

    So what did they do? Well, they decided that their promotion would be that you could trade in your phone in exchange for bill credits! Yes, that’s right, you still have to pay the $300 out of pocket, and they will give you what amounts to 50 cents a day over 2 years in exchange for your old phone! This scam is designed to optimize profits and inventory, while creating market conditions where existing customers are force to beg for scraps on launch day, unless they want to shell out $300 and their existing phone for a preorder.

    Of course, they refused buy one get one deals to existing customers as well and this is just because they’re trying to get more money while doing very little to try and retain your business! I’m done with this company, my family will begin moving our 6 lines to a competing brand as soon as possible, and I would advise anyone considering T-Mobile to consider other brands, as T-Mobile has clearly shown me they don’t care about my business and they’ve done this on multiple occasions.

    I used to the best customer service worth T-Mobile- until I because a “new” customer again. I’ve been with them for over 20 years. Every time I would call for something, I was thanked for being with them for such and such amount of time. They always told me that I was speaking with a special customer service department that was just for the clients that were so long standing and that they were there to offer me excellent service. And they did!! They were amazing!! But I figured they just told me that to make me feel special and that everyone was actually getting awesome service. Wrong.

I called them tonight to get an extension on my bill. I owe $103 and I’m waiting for my new debit card to come in the mail.

(I had to cancel the card, I lost it.) The NEW bill hasn’t even come out. I’ve barely entered the grace period! He was condescending and then said to me “miss, let me enlighten your brain for a moment.” I didn’t even hear anything else after that, I told him I would take care of the past due with a different card immediately online and would be cancelling my account ASAP.

    I have been with all four major carriers and have never loved my Cellular company until now! I've been with them 3 1/2 years. Not everything has been perfect, I've had some issues here and there. But that has to do with a few sales reps and not the company itself. NOT ONE SINGLE company can say that 100% of their employees are stellar! It would be impossible not to have a few bad seeds squeak through. All in all it has been a great experience.

    I had bad credit and after making 12 months of on time payments they financed me a Galaxy S9 no credit check and no money down! No other company cellular or other would give me such a chance to rebuild my credit! Customer Service has been pretty great! Never on hold more than 1-3 minutes, and they almost always can address my needs! I've only been overbilled a few times which they quickly credited me for. I have a signal much better than Verizon's!

I called T-Mobile to pay my device off and leave and finally a rep advised "we were overcharging for the past several months". I advised rep I've called in and had several reps audit my account, but it finally took me leaving them for them to come clean with me about overcharging me. SMH. This is awful billing practices.

    I purchased two phones under the "55 and over" plan. Based on the promised by the salesperson that I could get two free phone upgrades once I paid half of the initial purchase under the JUMP program, I agreed and purchase the JUMP. In August 8, 2019 and after my balance was half+ paid, I went to get the upgrades. All fine up to this point, now I am stuck with $1,554.50 for the phone upgrades. So, I will have to start from scratch paying for two years when they told me the upgrades were free. I will never make business with T-Mobile again, period. Future customer: make sure you can get what they verbally tell you in writing so you will not get any surprises. Beware!

    T-Mobile has horrible service and customer service. I get a discount for setting my account on auto-pay but what they don’t tell you is that gives them permission to charge you any amounts they want to. Since my service was so bad, they shipped me a cellspot tower, which I was told was free of charge, and by the way the Cellspot still didn’t fix my service. I’ve had this cellspot for over 1 year and only used it for 6 months because it stopped working all the way.

    A few months ago I canceled the data service on my tablet because that stopped working as well and not once was I told that the tower was linked to that tablet number and if I canceled it I would get charged $105 for the tower, the customer service agent failed to mention that when she shut the data on the tablet off. Well they took that amount out of my bank account without my permission, thieves. Now I have to inconveniently take time away from work to go to UPS and drop the box off and wait 7-10 days for my refund, T-MOBILE IS A BUNCH OF NON-WORKING NETWORK SCAMMING THIEVES...BEWARE.

They tried to tell me it's not meant for people who "live there" -- he doesn't LIVE THERE. HE'S AT A HOTEL. Then they tried to say he was using his phone more than 50% of the time in Mexico -- uh, yeah CUZ WHEN HE'S HOME HE'S OFF WORK AND DOESN'T NEED TO CALL ME -- WE LIVE IN THE SAME ** HOUSE!!! We called multiple times and were repeatedly told under the circumstances (being his work) there would be an exception-- NO ONE AT T MOBILE EVER GOT BACK TO US!!

    He just got off his flight and tried to call from Customs and his phone service didn't work. THERE IS A VERY GOOD REASON WE ARE SWITCHING TO VERIZON ONCE OUR NEW NOTE 10 PHONES ARE IN!!!! I guess no one at T Mobile understands the meaning of UNLIMITED--I just got off the phone with Cesar the supervisor who states it is too costly for T Mobile to allow accounts to use the phones even if it says unlimited. So T Mobile sold us a plan they never intended us to use.

    Went to a T-Mobile store in Vernon Hills, Illinois. Was told if I switched from Verizon my bill would be cheaper with unlimited talk, text and data for a total of $50.00 per month. The rep then suggested I get a new phone. I told him no thanks, my Iphone 6 was just fine. He insisted and told me I could get a Iphone 8 for ONLY $3.50 more a month for 24 months. I repeated what he told me, he confirmed it and I took the bait. Unfortunately he misled me purposely and each month for the first three months I was billed a different amount, I called T-Mobile apologized promising they would "fix it" and I would be billed accordingly.

    This month I get billed $77.00, I call and now I'm told that this IS my bill contrary to all the assurances that it WAS IN FACT $53.50 supposedly and they go on to say I have passed the TIME LIMIT on returning everything. I was led to believe they would 'Fix it" and now told "too late". Bad news, dishonest company. Going back to Verizon. Hopefully they will be honest. T-Mobile is a bait and switch company and we are filing a complaint with the Illinois Attorney generals office to expose T-Mobile deceptive underhanded business practices on Monday.

    I just got through with an unsatisfactory response from T-mobile's "Office of the President" about a month I spent volunteering in Kenya--important point--across an entire billing cycle. I got the message that I was using too much, called (on wifi) to ask what I could do and was told basically nothing--there's no way to BUY coverage on top of the generous international roaming plan. When I got home, they PERMANENTLY withdrew my international roaming privilege!! Three concerns: When the criterion is a percentage and you’re out of the country through a billing period, ANY usage—1kb—is over 50%. They make it sound like it's amount, but it's entirely about percentage. If you're only out of the country for PART of a billing cycle, the "watch lots of videos" idea works, but if you're international through an entire billing cycle, ONE call to Uber=100% and puts you in violation.

    In that situation, the lack of an add-on international calling package as an option means T-mobile doesn’t allow people like me to “do the right thing” even when we offer to do so. It creates a corporate “gotcha.” (If T-mobile offers daily or monthly international usage plans, they didn't tell me about them when I inquired, but I'd still love to know. They offer a SUPPLEMENTAL plan on TOP of the free plan to get faster coverage, but no temporary plan for long international trips that I know about. Glad to find out differently.

    Permanent revocation of the privilege when there is no “approved” recourse is not in the spirit of the “uncarrier” at all. As you can tell, more than aggravated I’m just disappointed. At least in this situation, T-mobile is not who they say they are. Really love lots of things about the company, but in this instance they are not the "uncarrier"--they are TOTALLY "corporate.

    I bought three new phones Christmas 2018 and had insurance put on them, my son’s phone was stolen. Reported it to police. Got a case number then called T-Mobile. After 2 hours on the phone nothing was solved. They kept telling me I didn’t have insurance on my son’s phone so we pulled up past bills to find out T-Mobile made a mistake and insured the phone that we replaced instead of my son’s new phone.

    They refused to accept any responsibility saying over and over the old phone had insurance not the new phone which I have been paying monthly which I was told it was against T-Mobile policy to insure older phones but somehow they managed to insure a phone my son doesn’t even have because I bought him the new phone that was supposed to be insured. Their solution was for me to upgrade pay full price and still pay 500 still owed on the old phone on top of that. What a horrible company. I only gave them a rating of one because that is the lowest rating. Reality they’re not even worth a rating of one.

    I left AT&T to go to TMobile with a promise my monthly payment would be cheaper, it was cheaper with $5... Wanting to give them the benefit of the doubt I switched...worst mistake ever. Their stores apparently can do nothing else but sell you merchandise. Everything you would like to do has to be done with a phone call or on your online account. Only problem is everytime I enter my password it is incorrect yet when I try to set my password (using the same password I always use and tried to log in with) they tell me I can't change my password to what it currently is. Then you go and answer security questions (which I didn't set up) and when you type the response to the question (My grandmother's maiden name has never been anything but her maiden name) the answer is incorrect.

    Every single time I have had a problem they have been ZERO help. I finally decided to switch back to AT&T. I went to the Tmobile store right next door to AT&T to get my phone unlocked, "Oh, we can't do that you need to call." I asked if I can at least pay off whatever I owe. "No you have to do it online." I called to get my phone unlocked. The person who helped me manage to unlock my phone but refused to take my payment or even process payment with my card on file saying I have to wait for Tmobile to bill me at the end of the month or go online??? Like WHAT? So I try to log into my Tmobile account and guess what - I yet again cannot log in for the same exact reasons as I've mentioned. So I start with the online chat (delusionally thinking they would be able to help) first I get told to log into my account (thanks, great suggestion).

    After explaining I get told that I am being transferred to the customer care unit who would be able to help me.... I waited for 15min for someone to respond but they did not. I finally sent a message telling them exactly what a waste of time their service is. It is currently 45min since my message and I still have no response. Regardless of their pathetic customer service their signal is also terrible. Wherever I went everyone else would have signal yet I would not (being the only one on tmobile).

    T-Mobile is the worst mobile provider, in my opinion. Their coverage is sub-standard to missing in most placing that I have lived so far. The customer service appears nice when you talk to them but lacking with implementing what you talked about. For example, I thought I cancelled my plan one month and paid what I thought was my final bill. But later received a bill and called to find out that the account was still open with lines that were transferred to another carrier. So then I had to pay yet another bill and "cancel" service yet again. Oh yeah, they cancel your account account so you cannot log in and see your bill (for yourself) and pay it. When you call they cannot update your address to send you the final bill and it seems that emailing it is off the table, as well. I will never be a T-Mobile customer ever again.

    Moving into a new home and wanting to bundle cell, TV, and broadband services I tried to cancel my T-mobile service. I made a call to customer service and was told by the rep that my bill was paid ahead and by paying off what I owed on an iPhone would settle my account. Since the system did not recognize my PIN I was required to visit a store to settle the account, which I did. Days later I receive a letter that says my account is in arrears and I owe for the last month's service. A phone call to a rep and then their supervisor is a waste of time as they can't authenticate my account and I must visit a store.

    OK, two days later I receive a phone call from a collection agency! Who turns an account over to collection in less than a week? I have an excellent credit history with a FICO score in the 800s and I've never had a call from a collection agency. I haven't made a late payment in over 30 years. I'm left to wonder if this is some sort of retaliation on the part of those phone reps that I've been dealing with?

    Another gripe is that in order to provide my 98 year old mother with a simple flip phone T-Mobile's choice was an Alcatel flip phone. The first one failed within 3 weeks and 3 subsequent replacements also failed within a few weeks, each replacement costing us $30. After the last failure I would not accept another Alcatel model and T-Mobile said they could not provide any other model simple phone and it was up to me to purchase a phone that would work on their network. Wasted time and money for zero support. Given the ineptitude of the phone and store reps and shoddy equipment I would advise anyone to avoid T-Mobile like the plague.

    I switched from Verizon to T-Mobile about 4 or 5 years ago. The service has been so so, depends on where you are. I have no reception at all at my house (1 bar and drops every call) and I am in a town of 100,000 in the bay area. Over all I could deal with the sketchy service but anytime they come out with a new promotion it is geared only toward new customers. So let's forget about the current customers that keep the lights on every month and pay the employee salaries and let's put all our promo money into new customers instead that may or may not stay!! Brilliant marketing plan!! So we needed new phones because we have the Apple 7 phones that only have 16 GB of memory and with all the Apple update there is not enough room on the phone.

    So I called customer service to see if there was anything they could do to get us two new Apple XR phones (2 out of our 4 lines) and they talked about special programs that we could get like 400.00 as trade ins. I said thats all you can do, they said yes. So we started to look around at other carriers and happen to be at the mall and we said to ourselves that if they gave us 400 bucks for each of our phones that would be half off a new phone. Not as good as being a new customer and getting a free phone but would be less hassle, no start up fees with a new customer sign ups etc. So we went into a T-Mobile store and they offered us like 100.00 for each phone, WHAT A JOKE.

    One hand doesn't know what the other hand is doing. The two people helping us had no knowledge of the new iPhone nor what happens when you change plans etc because we have one free line so we just wanted to know if we change plans would we still get the free line or not. One person said yes the other said no, NICE, we have no idea. So we went ahead and spent like 850.00 on a new iPhone which they were giving to new customers because we figured we own it and we could just port our number when we change carriers.

    The next day we received a survey to ask what we thought of or visit to the store so I answered it honestly. About a week later I get a call from T-Mobile customer service asking about my survey which I thought was great they cared enough to call!! About a minute into the call it dropped due to bad service, doesn't look to good when you are on the phone with a cell phone provider and the call drops! I figured they would call back, NEVER DID, NICE CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! As of now we are just waiting for the best deal to come along for ATT or Verizon.

I now have to settle for wireless charge which is extremely slow and inefficient. My phone had only been on the charger for a few moments before I began to smell that it was beginning to burn! The phone was not near water or hadn't come into contact with water or any other object that could lead to this.

    T-Mobile instructed me that I had to pay $100 in order to receive a refurbished device. I did not cause this in any way shape or form. There is no water damage, the phone has never been dropped, and the phone has never been out of the case since the day I purchased the device 3 months ago. Besides having to pay $100 to receive a refurbished phone I have to wait 3 days for it to get here. In my opinion this is terrible customer service and I will definitely be switching carriers.

The added services on top of it at random times. Bill should not be more than 180 and it was always 265$ each month for last 12 months.

    I called the customer care and asked them to rectify and refund the amount and they said they can only do for last 3 months. That is max. I told them, I am not liable for this mistake and the person who made the change to account and miscommitted, should pay for it. The customer service rep was very arrogant and said he can not do anything. If I want I can take the 180 credit or else nothing can be done. Most pathetic service ever. I am planning to pursue legal complaint so they do not do fraud in billing with other customer ever. They make you setup autopay and then keep charging new amounts and when you find that they DID financial fraud, they say they can not do anything and I can go to hell.

    A sales me walks in my store and claims to be a T-Mobile business to business dealer and he can lower my bill and give me better quality service then my current supplier which was Sprint. So we purchase 2 s10 and the promo is buy one get one free in the form of a credit every month for one of the phones with no money down because of our stellar credit rating. So later that night my wife and I are looking over the papers and discover he ordered the s10 e which our the lowest quality s10 not what we wanted he never explained there were three options and took it upon himself when we clearly said s10.

    Next day I call and they say no problem when UPS delivers just refuse delivery and they will send out correct phones. I call back and order the correct s10 and s10 plus now they tell me since we sent the others back I'm required to pay a deposit why am I being punished because your sales rep ordered the wrong phones. three days go by and they call three different days with different down payments 149.00 then it was 500.00 then it went to 700.00. Know im getting mad I call and he agreed on 49.00 per phone but I had to take two s10 I told him the s10 is to small for my big hands and I want the s10 plus well that's a 249.00 deposit I'm being forced pretty much to take the smaller phone.

    So they arrive and sure enough it's too small for me. I call them and at this time I discover that they are not T-Mobile but a third party dealer and also I have no insurance on my phones but the sales rep sold to me so I have 2000.00 dollars in phones and no insurance at this point I'm livid and there's nothing he can do I can only return once I'm stuck. Oh and also I can't have the same plan because it's no longer available. It changed that morning but I signed up a week ago. Oh well nothing they can do. So now my bill is 60.00 dollars more then what it was with Sprint.

    I decide to call T-Mobile directly now that I know they are not who they claim to be. I get a manager on the Phone by the name of Edward and he's so apologetic and they have nothing but problems with these third party dealers. He looks over the account and says, "Oh my. You had thirty two calls in three days. What can I do tho make it right." In the end he credited all my money back with totaled 359.00 but it was credited to the account I was ok with that he told me to go to an actual store return the phone and get the one I want I did all was good in my world for 4 days.

    Then I get a text message from T-Mobile because I did a buyer's remorse which is what the manager told me to do I no longer qualify for the buy one get one they will no longer be giving me the credit for the phone screwed again. I get on the phone with another manager they can no longer give me the plane because it's not available but it was when I signed onto your service. They rescinded the credits the other manager gave me so I say enough I want to cancel and send your phones back.

    They say you can cancel but you're responsible for payment of the phones which total about 1900.00. I only had fourteen days and today is 15. Funny how the text message came on the day after. I plead my case how they are very dishonest and after going back and forth for an hour she is going to send me some kind of credit card for 450.00 and along with the 350.00 the first manager gave me to cover everything they charged me already I can apply towards the cost of the phone which in theory gives me a free phone. Fine but what about the 350.00 you already got out of me that the manager gave me credit for you our now taking from me to pay for the phone. They screwed me hard stay away from T-Mobile my bill is now after everything still 30 dollars more than Sprint was and can't cancel or I have to pay them for the phones.

    I live in a city of about 23,000. According to T-Mobile’s coverage map, I should have had no cell phone reception problems. However, coverage in our house was spotty which made me nervous as I have a child responsible for getting themselves on the bus and I call on my way to work to make sure they’re ready to go. 95% of the time, I was unable to reach them due to coverage issues in our house. Myself and my spouse both drive great distances for work and encountered several dead spots which led to a lot of frustration.

    We had switched from Verizon as I liked the extras T-Mobile offered and it was $100 cheaper. Well, you get what you pay for and after yet another dropped call in our house, we switched back to Verizon today. Also, when we switched to T-Mobile we were told coverage area would be improved within a few months and that never happened. I’m sure our results would have been better in a large metropolitan area and no visits to rural areas. Nothing is more frustrating when you have no coverage when you really need it.

    I was a T-Mobile customer for 14 years. Last May we changed our family plan to Sprint. I spent several hours on the phone with T-Mobile and with Sprint trying to move our numbers over and close the account. T-Mobile took a payment out in June and I figured I must have had an outstanding balance. They took another $150.00 out in July. I called and spoke to a customer service rep who told me I still had an open line. I told him of the HOURS I spent talking with their customer service and that I had been very very clear that I closed the account. He took some time to look into it and came back on the line and apologized and said the money would be refunded to my bank account in 3-5 business days.

    I called back today because no money has been refunded. I was told today that the other employee misspoke and that I will only be getting a $50 refund and in fact STILL showed an active line and another $150 was about to come out. I asked to speak to a manager but got the same answer. Unbelievable. The best moment was when he asked if I wanted to come back to T-Mobile. He wasn’t kidding. I don’t understand how this was even legal.

    I have been with T-Mobile since 2012. In few years they upgraded my account to priority and after few months offered me two "FREE" lines. I took them and gave them to my relatives and visitors coming from overseas. After few months they started charging me for these 'FREE' lines. Then early 2019 I decided to move my lines to a different carrier. I asked them to close my lines and account. After repeated calls somehow they kept one line open in the account for months and kept me out of billing related communication for 4 months. My credit card information had changed meanwhile and they could not charge my card anymore. I was travelling all over the world during this time.

    And one fine afternoon I got a call from a collection agency for unpaid bills in my T-Mobile account. It's been 3 weeks since then and after numerous calls with various reps and multiple stops at the stores I can see that they are hell bent on getting paid unfairly maybe because I moved my business over to another carrier. Be on the caution while doing business with them, keep an extra pair of eye to all your transactions at all times, especially when cancelling your lines.

    But, no instead they making me go through this BSinsurance claim!

    I have had multiple cases where T-Mobile has lied to me just to tell me what I want to hear. First example is when I signed on. They told me I got "Netflix on us" but after signing up a couple days later I inquired how to take advantage of that. I was then told I did not have "Netflix on us". The next situation was when I asked about "Binge On". They told me I had "Binge On" even though I have unlimited data. I wanted binge on so that I would not use my high speed data. Even though I have unlimited I still only have 50ish GB of high speed data. They told me I had "binge on" and I had no need to worry. A couple months later I asked if Hulu was included in my Binge On and I was informed I don't have "binge on" and they can't do anything about it. So I have come to the conclusion they will mostly tell me what I want to make me happy. They are liars and not practicing a good business.

    Beyond appalled by T-Mobile's horrid customer service. I paid $15 a month for top insurance they offer on iPhone 7+ for almost 2 years. On the 21st month, my disabled mother drops her phone and cracks screen. T-Mobile was unhelpful and uncooperative trying to charge me $300 to replace the phone with the $15 a month insurance. Don't believe their scam they cover the dropping it because the simple answer is THEY DON'T. Buy Apple Care and be done with it. So, I dropped the coverage, and said took the bail. Bought an iPhone XS Max and this time purchased the Apple care. Intent was to give my 85 year old grandma the iPhone 10 and then pass down to my disabled mom the iPhone 7 that my grandma is using that I gave her a while back.

    I told her to go to T-Mobile they should be able to help her out it's me and my mom and I spend $200+ a month with T-Mobile. MY 85 YEAR OLD GRANDMOTHER HAD TO GO TO THIS STORE 4 TIMES AND THEY STILL WOULDN'T HELP HER. 1st time. They said they can't help phone is not in her name is nothing they can do. I call TMobile they get her added on account. I told her tell them to call me if there is a problem so 2nd time they say the phone is locked there is nothing they can do goodbye.

    I call TMobile they say how embarrassed they are an apologize tell me the phone should be unlocked she can take it back up there. She goes up there and again they turn her away no one again contacts me no one is interested in helping her since they can't make money off her in the store. I call T-Mobile again same song and dance how sorry they are they are treating my 85 year old grandmother this way and this time send me an email authorization saying the phone unlocked. Follow these steps. She goes back up there trying to get help a 4th and last time before giving up. They said phone needs to be connected to iTunes they can't and won't help her.

    As a previous Apple Engineer for iPhone these are some of the most unintelligent and cruel individuals in their handling of helping an 85 year old grandmother and my disabled mother. I would not EVER recommend this store. AVOID THIS STORE AT ALL COST, IN FACT, AVOID T-MOBILE!!! ! Don't condone this nasty behavior and let them know that the grandparents and disabled people deserved to be help even if not being squeezed for extra cash by all means their son/grandson is fitting the bill for two families and just bought the iPhone XS Max from that store a month ago. Follow up: I did follow up with T-Mobile I reached out to the CEO directly after not getting adequate feedback from the support that replied here.

    Their response was unsympathetic at best doing their clever best to shift blame and quote policy. While I did entirely expect this I thought as their CEO touts a customer centric experience I would not get the typical well technically it’s not our policy to not help non customers. Mind you my disabled mother is actually a customer just so happens I pay for her like. Regardless, the end result was that they took advantage of my complaint to actually try and UPSALE me. Sorry we treated your parents horribly and ultimately led to them trying to do things on their own which broke the sim on phone but we would love to sell you a new device. Not that the XS Max wasn’t enough then they said they don’t make any money off selling phones...

    I lost all respect for this company and my cancellation is for Aug 14 for all extra lines but me and my mother. Those two lines I will be taken to ATT. Sorry John ** at T-Mobile your customer practices are terrible. 1 star. And worst yet over the past year the 4G LTE has went from an average 25mpbs to 3-5mpbs and that is without being anywhere near a large data user!!!!

    Just over a year ago I got a Revvl phone from T-Mobile. Recently I started having problems with the charging port like there was a short in it. I took it to the T-Mobile store and they looked in the charging port and said their phones were prone to corrosion damage from the high humidity, thus any warranties are voided because that's considered water damage, thus any warranties are voided and offered to sell me another phone. I've been with T-Mobile for 19 years and all of my phones lasted for years, and I never had a corrosion problem to a charging port.

    If these phones are so sensitive to humidity then why don't they put a cover over the port when it's not being charged? Needless to say I did not get another T-Mobile phone since evidently their newer phones are designed to fail in only a year's time. Evidently they're not making them like they used to!

    T-Mobile, from Customer Service, to Technical Support, to Billing, to Supervisors, and Management, Thank you! To current customers and non-customers please take note as T-Mobile is where you want to stay or be in the years to come. They have amazing things coming around the corner and you will want to be a part of it. I know this because they listen to their customers and respond appropriately exceeding my expectations. My experience the last six years from both a personal and business account perspective has been most incredible, most uplifting, and most desirable a consumer could experience. When I switched carriers from Verizon to T-Mobile I was looking for an economical and quality carrier. I not only found that, but much more that exceeded any customer experience in my many decades on planet earth.

    I have had some great company experiences in my lifetime and personally I have delivered top-notch Customer Service and Technical Support as well. In Aerospace I received letters of accommodation and recommendation from Japan Airlines and the Boeing Company including a Memorial from JAL. I know customer service and technical support. T-Mobile, hands down the number one company experience in my lifetime. It started six years ago when I was located in an area that had no service by any carrier. T-Mobile found a way to get me at least 2G to my phone. I did not know 2G still existed. No carrier could penetrate this structure, but T-Mobile did. They used engineering and finagled phones until they found the right combination. They never gave up to fulfill my service in a desperate situation. Two years later I switched over to a business account.

    Again, out of nowhere they made my experience 100% better by assigning me a team! A team of people available to me 24/7 all seven days a week. This team knows me better than any company has in the past. They are at the meat of my business keeping my operation alive and well. T-Mobile has never wavered. I believe in their customer centric mentality throughout the company. They look at your circumstances and make decisions based on your needs and situation before their own. Their genuine concern and expertise in resolving technical issues is exemplary and unparalleled in the cell phone industry. They have helped me immensely in overcoming a changing economic landscape and every day challenges life can throw at you like theft and technical issues.

    At the end of the day their actions are what separates them from any other organization. T-Mobile is behind me, in front of me, and they will be, by my side as long as I buy cell phones. One of the most impressive moments recently was when they got LG on the phone with me. The actual manufacturer. I needed backup completed beyond three phones, to help me with recovery. That was a first as they wanted me to be assured they have no limits to deliver exactly what you ask for. I want to acknowledge my team at T-Mobile with this endorsement. Thank you very much Team!

    After visiting the T-Mobile store a couple of times and debating on switching from my expensive AT&T I decided to switch and go with the plan that I was offered. Upon arriving at the store with my husband and two of my sons, I found the salesman that I had originally spoken with and we went over all the deals again. I had two iPhones 8 Plus that I still owed part of it to AT&T, one iPhone 5c that was just being transferred, and I needed a new phone to replace a broken one. The deal offered was the same he had originally given me. The two AT&T phones would fall under the buy back and part would go for an upfront credit that would be enough to cover the taxes for the new phones and the accessories and the rest would be sent to me in a cash card for the replacement of the broken one I was told that since I was bringing in a new line and there was no buyback I would get the new iPhone XR free offer.

    It took us about five hours to do all the switching and when we left everything seemed fine. The next evening I downloaded the T-Mobile app and when I checked for my purchases things did not seemed right and one of the buy back credits was no longer there. I called the store and was told not to trust the app because things are never listed right in the beginning. I had red flags going up and requested that they hold on to the phones that I had. Turned it in just in case but they told me that the phones were gone and that I had no right to them. I returned to the store after work and questioned the salesman what was going on. He told me that after I called they checked into it and found out that the offer he had given me had expired and T-mobile had switched my contract to the new one.

    In the new contract my free phone was no longer free and one of the phones that was part of the buyback was changed to the free one and I was no longer getting the money to pay AT&T. As a result the bill had gone up and the accessories that were originally covered by the buyback was now in installment plan. All the salesman could tell me was that I could lower my plan to a basic one and not trade in the third phone that I did not have it with me on the original day. That was unacceptable since that was not the plan that I signed up for. I contacted the main customer service who originally could not make heads or tails of what account because nothing matched (what a surprise) then after sending my issue to two other people, waiting for days for a response and having panic attacks over all of this, I finally received a phone call and was told that there was nothing they could do because the deal I was sold did not exist.

    I requested that they cancel all my contract, take everything back without fees and either give me my phones back or give me what I owe AT&T for it. I was told that I could cancel the contract because it was still under 14 days but that I would have to pay $75 return fee for each of the three phones and that I would receive anything for the phones I traded in because they were no longer my phones. After telling me that that was not acceptable they told me that they would see what they could do because they did not want to lose me as a customer, but now I’m getting the silent treatment even after an attorney that I contacted gave me the VP of customer service number and I left a message. My 14 days will be up in two days and I have a feeling that they are waiting for that so they can claim that the 14 days have passed.

    I have been with AT&T for almost 20 years and was NEVER treated this way. My only reason for leaving them was to lower my bill so I could pay a hospital bill. Now instead of owing about $1100 in phones and paying $320 monthly, I have all that plus $1500 in T-Mobile phones, and a monthly bill that is the same as AT&T! I may have gotten screwed by T-Mobile, but at least by posting this I hope to prevent anyone else from making the mistake of going to T-Mobile! And by the way, the “free phone” is not free. After paying the taxes up front, they charge your account about $32 monthly and only credit you $22! On a 24 month plan you are still paying $240.

    I have been a T Mobile customer for 7+ years. In the last two years, they have turned into a horrible company to work with. Their customer service is disorganized and ineffective. Customer complaints and follows ups get lost, improperly documented and not followed up on as promised. In the last two years I have had multiple billing issues resulting in more than 10 hours spent calling their support teams to address. None of the issues have been resolved as the next steps promised are not taken and I don't receive a call back when I'm supposed to.

    The only reason I haven't left T-Mobile is I am on their Jump! phone upgrade program and haven't made it a priority to pay off a full phone to be able to leave their service. After the latest series of events, I will be taking action to discontinue my service with T-Mobile. I had a smartphone stolen and it took several days to file a claim due to the insurance website being down and me needing to call- something hard to do without a phone. I was told 4 different amounts that I would have to pay for my deductible which resulted in delays as well.

    The insurance program promises a phone the next business day if claims are filed by 8PM EST. My claim was completed yesterday by 3PM EST. I still do not have a phone today, Assurant can't give me any update and doesn't know if there is even a phone they can ship. I spoke to T-Mobile who states they can't do anything at all and I have to work with the other company. After multiple escalations to supervisors and additional customer service with both T-Mobile and Assurant, I am still with no update as to when I will have a replacement phone.

    - Incorrect configuration by T-Mobile's staff resulting in my port status being successful when in fact it was not.
    - Zero communication from T-Mobile indicating any issue occurred.

    I've been with T-Mobile for five years on a prepaid plan $80 monthly.

So I called them last month and they told me to go to the store. I did it and when I told them my intentions to switch they said the system was down. Went to another store and I was told to wait until the end of my monthly cycle. Today was my last day of the Cycle so went to the store and they asked me to call customer service. Called them and according to them I need a new Sim card. At the end I paid for the grandfather amount. I feel played out by T-Mobile like they want to keep charging me the higher amount. Loyalty is not considered by them so this will be my last month.

    We just switched to T-mobile. The phone service is fine. The purchase experience was terrible. The T-Mobile store staff did not fully explain the costs of the program and the overall process took more than two hours. The language on the website is misleading with respect to trade-ins and the reimbursement when you switch from another carrier. If you talk to T-Mobile make sure you understand what you will actually pay for. There is a bit of subtle bait and switch the staff and website employ.

    Let me just warn anyone who fell for the promotional offer where you switch from another provider to T-Mobile and T-Mobile will pay your cancellation fee. DON’T BELIEVE THE HYPE! I switched from AT&T and was guaranteed that T-Mobile would pay off my $648 balance. DIDN’T HAPPEN. They totally reneged on their promise. Because T-Mobile did not pay off my balance, AT&T charged me penalty fees along with delinquent payments fees. The final total I ended up paying for my new T-Mobile phone was almost $800! Classic BAIT & SWITCH. I foolishly believed that I would be getting a free iPhone and better service when I switched to T-Mobile. DIDN’T HAPPEN. I would never recommend this provider to anyone. Worthless.

    T-mobile is a scam that provides customers with fake Samsung phones, then refuses to back the product. I think T-Mobile's phones are simply market ripoffs. I had insurance and it did nothing for me. All they provide are more refurbished phones with the same problem as the new ones. I had to cancel the service after just 3 weeks of sheer torture trying to get someone to help me. Literary 6 hours on the phone, and nothing. Even months later, I am still being billed for the refurbished phone that didn't work. Whatever you do, stay away from this company and NEVER give them any personal information. They use the same servers as Experian. In the aftermath of my T-Mobile adventure, I went for an unlocked phone and that's working for me.

    I just wanted to let you know that I was I trying to switch from ATT to T-Mobile and asked about a buy one get one iPhone XR at your Saint Johns FL store 269D

    What a disaster! 1. We have 5S models so I told them 3 times no trade-ins and they replied the current promotion was for a new line and bring your #s with no trade-in required – we had that covered. I was alone and looking on Wed 5 June 2019 as my wife hates the process and was at work. 2. We both came to the store the next day, 6 June 2019, to buy 1 get 1 free on the unlimited 55 plan. Confirmed again about the offer and no problem. Phones bought, accessories, phone #s switched, Visa charged, then as we were almost done the rep said: “Oh, looks like I messed up and trade--ins are required.” (6 and up).

    3. So the old bait and switch approach as the store manager quickly disappeared as the rep looked at us. I said, "NO WAY," so now we had to spend 2 hours switching back to ATT as they would not do anything on the deal as promised. Total of 4 hours wasted! 4. I plan on telling everyone I know about my wonderful T-Mobile experience and beware of what you are told! 5. Just wanted you to know about the local store performance. You would have had 2 new happy customers and now you have 2 very unhappy consumers. No excuse for this happening and I do not believe it was an honest mistake. Hard to gain market share like this. 6.

And when I decided to just buy a new phone the sales representatives repeatedly made offers that sounded like a great deal but had charges they was not mentioning.

    On May 25th I went to purchase the T-Mobile base prepaid plan because I only needed service until I moved out of the country for a new job on June 30th. My phone at the time was issued from my former employer and had to be returned before I departed the country. On June 4th, I called to add data to my plan, as I had to return my former company issued phone on June 7th. I was told that the only way to add data to my plan was to switch to a different one that costs $40/month. I went ahead with these changes because I needed data for transportation apps. During the call the representative never told me that I was making this change "mid-cycle" and that despite paying the $40, my service would only be good through June 25th since I originally signed up May 25th.

    On June 25th, I was forced to pay for another 30 day cycle at $40/month + tax for a total of $44.99 because I needed data for transportation apps. I didn't think about it at the time but once I reviewed my bank statement, I realized that I had paid on June 4th, I called to question the charges. I was told that because I activated the card on May 25th, changing on June 4th to a plan with data did not mean I received a full month of service (in my mind July 4th). I questioned why the prorated amount was $40 since I did not receive a full month of service but was given the runaround and no clear answers. After questioning this and asking to cancel, I was offered a CREDIT of $10! Not even worth my time to make this extremely ridiculous phone call. I was on the phone for 30 min, lost 84.99 for service used for 36 days despite being advertised as $40/month. I don't recommend T-Mobile at all.

    Insurance is fraud. I have a iPhone 7. Haven't had the phone a year. Started having problems out of it. Called my carrier they said it was still under warranty and that they would send it to Apple for replacement. They said in order for this to happen, they had to inspect the phone for any physical damages. I had to carry it in a T-Mobile store for inspection. Once T-Mobile inspected the phone, they said because of a feather scratch they couldn't send it back because of Apple policy. They considered the phone as damaged. In order for me to exchange the phone, I had to file a claim through the insurance. I had to pay 99.00 to exchange the phone.

    Once I got the exchanged phone which was refurbished it was malfunctioning. I contacted Assurant back and they stated the phone was under warranty and that I had to contact Apple. Once I contacted Apple and explained my situation they sent me information about cosmetic scratches on iPhone 7. They said that the feather scratch was not a physical damage, therefore I should not have had to pay 99.00 for a exchange. I'm in the process of trying to get my money back. Straight ripoff.

    I have been with T-Mobile for 6 years. A few times over the years T-Mobile deactivated my account because of a billing error on their part. I have auto-pay and T-Mobile has my information so they can deduct the monthly service fee. My checking account has never been low on funds, so if there are errors in deducting the monthly amount, it is not My problem, it is T-Mobile’s inability to connect. But instead of working on the problem, T-Mobile simply cuts off my service and turns off auto-pay to try next month. Therefore, I’m without service for a month. No communication! When I figure that out, I contact T-Mobile and they are unable to do anything except take my authorization to pay over the phone.

    What’s the point in having auto-pay, if it doesn’t work!!! This has happened at least 2 times in the past 3 months! I had to authorize payment again today after speaking with several CS reps and being on hold for a billing supervisor for over an hour.

    Have had T-Mobile for over 15 years and it has gotten so bad I am quitting once my contract is over, I would quit now but I'm stuck. Contract for "One

    All In" with jump on demand for 2 lines. Contract was not explained correctly when I signed it. Was supposed to be around $100 with phones, I am paying over $200 a month! I don't even get to keep the phones that I have been paying for over the past 18 months unless I pay additional money (over $400 for 2 phones) at the end of the contract. I have spent MANY HOURS (MORE THAN 6) on the phone with their support because contract was not correct and items were not available and/or delivered. Support did cover my bill for one month, at least showing effort, but it just hasn't been worth the effort, time, and grief on my side.

    My daughter has one of the lines and is near Indianapolis IN, and she is constantly dropping calls and having reception problems. She wants to move to different carrier, but we are stuck in this contract, and she can't use her phone unless I pay additional money (over $200) when the contract is finished. I also am required to pay for insurance for the phones, or am required to pay for any damages incurred, even though I don't own the phones. It states all over their website and also under my account, that Netflix is included for free with the One Plus program. I am told it doesn't include me because I have this "Jump on Demand" option. When I login to my account, it says it is included with One Plus, it says I have One Plus, it has this on multiple pages! But again I am told it doesn't apply to me because of Jump on Demand. I don't want this Jump on Demand, but am stuck with no way out.

    My hotspot is getting turned off and made unavailable, and my data speed is made slower because I use too much data. This was put in a notification I received. I am supposed to have unlimited data. It says I have thousands of HD minutes to use but it doesn't retain the selection to use it in my profile. Therefore, regardless of how many minutes of it I have, I can't use them. They updated the Visual Voicemail so that you have to use theirs instead of the native application. I received over 20 voicemails and was unaware because their app didn't notify me. The visual voicemail and regular voicemail no longer syncs, and I am not notified when I have a regular message.

    I feel like I was conned into this contract so they could get my money. The phones have bad reception, I am not getting the data speed and amounts I am supposed to, and I am stuck without even owning the phones when it's over. T-Mobile sucks. After 14 years, I have had enough and I'm done getting scammed by their offers that are misleading and aren't what they seem to be. False advertising!

I closed the account exactly as described by the consumer support agent at T-Mobile to eliminate any extra charges, but I got hit anyway with a full month of service charge, even though service was switched out. They setup fake new numbers and applied them to my account. It was a disaster trying to eliminate that, which took almost a month, and in-house network booster I forgot, added up to me owing them $250 for the boosted unless I returned it, so here goes another month of trying to get away from T-Mobile.

I get that it is likely the contract Apple has with their carriers.... However, I went with T-Mobile because I am a single mom doing it alone, and T-Mobile offered a payment plan.

    I didn't have the time or gas to drive several hours away nor did I have the extra cash lying around to get the problem fixed. So with my chosen $70/mo service plan plus insurance and monthly installment fees... I was paying $101 for a phone I could NOT use. I ended up paying off what I was told was my balance only to find out two days later that the balance I paid off to get out of their service plan was NOT accurate and I still owed more money! And the helpful people of T-Mobile just wanted to mock me that they gave me a pay off that was as updated as they have in their system and didn't show what I actually owed.

    T-Mobile conned me out of $32.20. They sold me an unusable product, gave me the runaround for 32 days, and finally told me that they would not refund my money (after previously agreeing to it). 2 stores, 5 phone reps, and 8 web CSR – a total of 90 miles of driving and about 30 hours of my life that I could not get back, was spent on an attempt to figured out WHY this item wouldn’t work, and if it was no other way to salvage it. Nobody in the stores knew why it wouldn’t work, I called and was transferred to FIVE different person (the first three said they didn’t handle it and didn’t know why they were transferred the call) and the floor supervisor who was the 5th person decided to hang up on me after she said she was working on my request. Finally web CSR #5 figured out what the issue was and web CSR #6 said she was getting me a refund, but it took 7-10 business days to process.

    I replied and asked if I was all set regarding the refund or if there’s anything I need to do, eighteen minutes later web CSR #7 said that “it’s processing right now so there’s nothing you would have to do on your end-..” On the 16th business day after that conversation, nothing went back to my account, so I contacted them again. Web CSR #8 said that she wasn’t seeing any record of it even though they had submitted it. She said she resubmitted it and that it took fifteen business days to process. Yesterday, which marked a week after that last communication, she messaged me and said that the refund did not get approved. If this was exhausting for you to read, imagine actually going through it.

    The product was a 21-day tourist plan SIM card. It’s a temporary phone number under a service plan that is only good for 21 days effective the date it’s activated. Our first attempt to activate it was less than 10 days after the item arrived. There really was nowhere on the product information that said there’s an X amount of time that number/SIM card must be activated upon purchase. When the item arrived I didn’t even open the packaging until the time it was activated. On the back side of the SIM card package there was an instruction of how to use it: Get the SIM card out of the package, put it in your phone, dial a number to activate it, and you’re all set to use it. Simple enough, supposedly. Yet, it didn’t happen. Would not activate.

    We thought it might be the phones, or maybe we did something wrong, so we decided to go to the store the next day. Next day at the store, spent about 3 hours there, the associates couldn’t figure out why it wouldn’t activate. They sent us home with an advice to try activating it again in 24 hours. The next day we decided to drive about 80 miles to a more touristy town, figured they might have a bit more experience dealing with this type of product. Brought four unlocked phones with us, overseas iPhone, overseas Android phone, local iPhone, local Android phone. We thought if the issues were the phone, one of these sure would have worked. At that store, the associate pretty much determined it was not a phone issue, it was the number. Still, he could not figure out why it would not activate. Again, we were sent home with basically an apology and he didn’t know why, and maybe try again in 24 hours.

    That afternoon around 4pm I called the number on the Packing Slip, to acquire a Return Authorization Number (as instructed on the sheet) and figured we gave up on it. We were going to return it, and go somewhere else to buy a prepaid card. It’s a tourist plan for my brother during his 3-week visit, and we were already in day three of not having a working phone number. I won’t repeat my experience with the phone CSR (I explained above), but it was 80 minutes of a complete waste of my time, only to get hung up in the end by a supervisor. I contacted them on the web, with the original intention of returning the product, but these people were so great and so professional, they gave me a glimpse of hope that maybe, just maybe, we can get this SIM card to work, so I didn’t have to go to the store to buy another thing.

    The Messenger messages went back and forth, with the shift change it got carried on to the next day. Finally, the next day at 8:11am someone figured out the root of the problem. I was told that this was activated as a tourist plan and it wasn’t working because it’s no longer active. Ding ding ding!!! So that would be why. So why would T-Mobile sent me an inactive number, that was already activated- activated by who?? Surely wasn’t me, which was the very reason I contacted them at the first place, because we could not activate it.

    We opened the packaging (broke the plastic seal that wrapped the SIM card packaging), took the brand new SIM card (or we thought so- it looked so), and put it in the phone. Did not work. Could not use it. And of course they subtly hinting that this was purchased a long time ago, that this type of product was supposed to be activated right away, blah blah blah. There were no such things mentioned anywhere in the product information that the sealed SIM card must be activated immediately upon leaving their warehouse. Expecting a relative visit from overseas, I know dates and time, and things were planned accordingly- including the timing of purchase and activation of this temporary phone number.

    Long story short, approx. 2.5 hours later, they said, “We will be refunding your $32.20, but where your services do not work, and we cannot activate the SIM, it will be like this plan didn’t happen.” So I went to Best Buy and bought another prepaid SIM card. It worked great. And here we are, a month later (21 business days), I received a message from a T-Mobile web CSR, “…at this current time, the refund did not get approved as we had hoped.”

    You can keep the $32.20, T-Mobile. I got the experience. I learned the lesson, and I am sharing it. Do note that I have the backup for everything that I said. And while all the written response was friendly, long, professional, and scripted, it didn’t change the fact that you shamelessly took $32.20 out of your customer’s pocket and sent them an unusable product. Congratulation on doing the right thing, not. I will never, ever, again, considering T-Mobile for any of my cellular/wireless needs. Or for any needs, for that matter. There are way too many choices out there. And if you hang around this long to read my post, reviews matter. I repeat, there are other options out there. Better options.

The thing is is that I had purchased a brand new device and then I added an extra line and that’s when things got super complicated and they end up giving me random charges that didn’t make sense. The bill cycle didn’t make sense and then when I canceled my phone and made sure I paid off my last device they said that I owe him the $80.

    Normally in my account is 115 and they said that two of my devices were active after I had called and confirm to make sure that they canceled my account with them. Long story short they lied and said they were going to give it back but it will mess up my credit. And so they kept the 80$. That may not be a lot to a lot of people but when you had to leave your job to move to Puerto Rico to help family out, then yeah it’s a lot and it came from my savings account. So, they said I also was going to bill the next month even after I’m with another phone company. So guys don’t do autopay as amazing it may sound. PLEASE DON'T DO AUTOPAY IF YOU CHOSE T-MOBILE.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    By the way, the reception is terrible. After speaking on the phone with someone, about 4 minutes into the conversation, they can’t hear me anymore, they tell me I’m breaking up.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    I wonder how many people catch this. Next I called again in credits and was now told, it was a trade in deal and so owed the monthly payments. It was no free offer. Haha so completely misled and never once did sales rep mention trade in deal. Long story short after 4-5 hrs back and forth I was credited $350 towards the device and higher customer service was decent. Supervisor I talked with was rude and had a follow up call for 40 minutes on the issue that just cost me time and no change. Pretty shady like the rest on this- no recording of call supposedly and am curious if this has happened to others.

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

    I immediately canceled 3-4 days after signing up. I received a bill in the mail for $65.47. I called the rep and told them that I canceled because it was too slow, I canceled immediately after talking to T-Mobile engineers and that I shouldn't be charged. They told me it was "pro-rated" and that all companies do it– which is not the case. I would avoid T-Mobile as much as you can. You pay more for AT&T/Verizon, but the speeds are incredible. You get what you pay for, and I will never use T-Mobile again.

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

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

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

    I had been a business, multi-line customer with T-Mobile for years. Last year I upgraded one cell phone by purchasing a refurbished Galaxy through Amazon. The phone had been locked by T-Mobile and included their device unlock app. When the device unlock app would not work, I brought it in to T-Mobile for help. The phone was not blacklisted, (i.e., there was no outstanding debt on the phone or the previous owner's account.). T-Mobile refused to unlock it because I was not the original owner. I was told, "that's the problem with buying a used phone." No, that's the problem with contracting with T-mobile. I just bought a new phone and picked a new carrier.

So I went to a T-Mobile store on (5/4/19) to purchase some headphones for my brother because he's graduating on Saturday but they said that they changed the installment plan for accessories from 2 years to 1 year. Normally I would pay $17 or so but now it's $100 + taxes down. I called customers service that later that day and they said "it's so the customer has a lower monthly balance and SO THEY CAN UPGRADE SOONER." WTF!! If that's not greed I don't know what is!

I closed my account April 16th largely because I hate dealing with the call center in the Philippines. The English is bad and they make way too many mistakes. I was also promised free roaming only to discover T-Mobile roaming is horrible and the phone doesn't work in many places. I received my bill on April 30th. On May 4th I called T-Mobile to pay the bill but the Filipino staff refused to help me if I didn't know my pin (which I forgot a long time ago).

    Within three days the bill went from $88 to $110 and I received a notification on May 6th that the bill was with a collection agency - I make 6 figures! I can afford a $75 bill. I’m so sickened by this company. Not to mention the awful call center in the Philippines where no one knows what they are doing. The company promises all of these things and does not deliver.

    Please read! Horrible company! I was told by corporate that they bought Sprint, who I have been with over 10 years. That Sprint was going out of business and I needed to switch. I go into the store in Gallatin, TN which no one knew what they were doing. I was told it would be no problem, no fees and no hassle. Well, I should have walked away. They hooked up one line with the others to be hooked up in two days.

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

    We called corporate to see if we could get my phone back and close the account. They wouldn’t return my phone and had a hard time trying to close the account. They kept trying to get us to say with them. Why would we do that we don’t have any of their phones and honestly the whole experience was horrible!

I send back a "refurbished phone" that I got from them because it wasn't working properly and my screen went completely black (second time this happens) by the way! I receive an email stating that my phone had water damage and that it was cracked! So that my account was going to get charged $441 for it.

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

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

    I have never been more disturbed or aggravated over something as I am now. Let me add, best believe that if I would of cause these issues I would own up to it and paid whatever I had to pay. However, paying for something you didn't do is the worst feeling ever! Hope this report help someone and that a picture saves you from having to pay anything. I wish I had done that. I hope that your customers trust and loyalty is worth the $441 you guys ripped me off for!! Unbelievable!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    I signed up for T-Mobile in February 2019, I gave them my debit card for easier payment. The next day I canceled my service. I went to the T mobile store and they said everything was canceled as I had never received a phone/or sim card yet. 3 weeks later I get a bill for $4.66, I tried calling T-Mobile and they stated we cannot help you unless you have you PIN (I could not remember it) I had an account number but no PIN. I went back to the original store that I had signed up with and they gave me a number to call.

    After 2 phone calls totaling about 40-50 minutes I decided to just sent a check for $4.66 and call it a day. Well the day after they cashed my check they swept my account for $4.66. Every time I have called back they state without the PIN they cannot help me. This is 2019 I have an account # with my name on it, but they can't or will not help. To me it’s not the money but the principle that after I had canceled my account the came in a swept $4.66 after they cashed my check....

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

So now I have a new number and a better phone, and I pay half what I used to per month. Goodbye T-Mobile. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

    I don't usually write review but I can't let go of this one. I was on prepaid for T-Mobile paying close to $90 for two lines until I switched to Sprint for $100 five lines. Few days ago I received collection bill saying I owe them $101+. Called T-Mobile and asking for explanation and wasn't given anything reasonable. I was on prepaid before with different providers and this never happened. Prepaid is no contract and can be terminated anytime. I was so disappointed. I was told they couldn't do anything anymore since this is already on collection. I work hard for my money and this is robbery. You sucked T-Mobile.

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

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

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

    This company really cares about its customers. The service is somewhat reliable and best bang for the buck. Yes you can pay double for Verizon but why? They actually look for issues and try to fix them. The free home cellspot is a great idea and just made spotty service inside to full bars. Offering deeply discount phones is something that is building their customer base. Keep up the great work!

    I have used AT&T for 13 years and their customer service was so slow and it would take me 30 minutes to even get someone to help me with my situation. I have never had a problem after switching to T-Mobile. They are so fast and they are available 24 hours to answer all your questions and concerns. I once called at 1 am and someone answered the call within 30 seconds. So impressed!!

    Please do not go with this company. I was tricked into thinking I was on a soiled plan. My bill was suppose to include my phone and bill but I found out when I got ready to buy out my contract that even when I’m done with my contract my phone will still need to be paid off??? Like wtf. Why wasn’t I told this at the store I purchase this phone from. I set up a payment arrangement and got charge a $30+ Fee for what I don’t know stick with the big company. These people are full of hidden fees and tricks to get you out of more money. Keep in mind you don’t own your phone until your contract is up and you pay $300+ dollars to own the phone. Please don’t go to this company. Next month is my last month and my contract is up and I promise I’m leaving this company. It’s sad???

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

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

    You can't beat their price and data usage policy. Since I started using them, coverage and customer service has improved over the past 3 years to my rating of Great. Cost effective coverage and support of voice, text, and data roaming worldwide. Zero complaints at this time. Well. Maybe I'd give them a 4 for their website design.

    A terrible company and I’m switching back to Verizon. But they won’t unlock my phones to allow me to switch. They are holding me hostage instead of going ahead releasing phones to allow Verizon to port in.

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

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

    They like most phone companies built plans for 4 people. If you have 3 you pay more. Why not just put the cost per line stop bundling like tv providers.

    Where can I put a negative star rating. Where can I put a negative star rating? I love the Sprint phone, price isn't horrible, but the customer service representatives are the worst beings in the entire business. Even when they're 100% wrong the customer service representative evidently thinks it's money out of his pocket because he doesn't wanna hear it and can't possibly understand what you're saying because he doesn't listen to you because he is busy over speaking you louder and louder until no one can get anything done.

    They overcharged my account $542 for a phone that they got back then they tried to charge me with a cracked screen once they received it back in their flimsy envelope. When you call them you get someone that definitely doesn't speak English as a first language because you have to repeat everything and don't understand anything that they say which is fine except then they get mad at you for it. I have had Bank of America take this false charge off my credit card twice I've never a had to ask Bank of America to do anything like that in my entire time having them.

    BeWare to the buyer if you have to deal with customer service Sprint it is a miserable, miserable time where you may have to call back 10 times an hour each call and still not accomplish what you called for. Then there's the transfer your call from place to place game that they love to play and when they're done with that they send you back to the beginning of the menu that Sprint has when you 1st called. Frustrated much? Can someone find me the negative stars? If I wasn't a mature adult I'd call them a bunch of names but I think you get it.

    My ZTE Zmax Pro acted possessed randomly scrolling. Discussed manufacturer warranty and they refused. Many drop calls. 12 people spoke to me in 2 hours of talk-clarify-hold-can't help talk to... The LG STYLO 4 goes black screen when you send calls. All buttons disappear. I called LG and sent the 2nd bad phone in. LG was not made aware of the dark screen. T-Mobile sent me a broken new phone to replace a broken new phone. I'm furious!
