NEVER EVER trust them to buy a phone with their stupid trade in promotions! You will never heard back from them. I trade in an iPhone for a new iPhone XR, they never gave me credit for that phone I sent them. Contacting them several times they do not have an answer.

Don’t believe a word they say about paying off your current contract!!! They make you practically give an arm and a leg, tell you they have everything they need and you’ll get an answer in 45 days. Conveniently for them, that puts you outside the 90 submit timeframe and then they claim they were missing information from you so now you’re not eligible. TOTAL SCAM!!!

I switched to T-Mobile because of the promise of Good service. They promised to buy my phones, and promised to buy out Verizon, and pay me to switch. Their service was terrible. The phones did not work in most areas around southeast Ohio and my son took his phone across the country to California and had poor to no service most of the time. They stole our Verizon phones and never paid me. They did not pay us to switch. When we left and went back to Verizon, they made up charges; like stating that I did not return their phone, even though I have tracking information to prove that I did return it. They have harassed me for over a year and even turned me in to collections, which I then had to prove that I did nothing wrong to fix my credit. T-Mobile is a terrible company. Don't trust anything they promise to you.

If I could give 0 stars I would. I rarely get irked enough to write a review for anything. They are going to shut off my current line because I've been in roaming range " too much." I live in Maine, an area with limited T-Mobile service, and as such I almost never use data. I only use WiFi, unfortunately the few text messages I send when not on WiFi seem to be enough for them to threaten to shut off my line.
Honestly their customer service was very polite albeit unhelpful but that isn't really their fault. If anything this is a deeper issue with a company that won't expand coverage or have a reasonable solution to having customers in remote areas. It doesn't help that on top of paying out the lease on my phone (to unlock it) there is another $160+ fee. I will never be doing business with T-Mobile again, I suppose one positive to take away from this is don't lease your phones and don't do business with T-Mobile. For those of you who read this far, I'm switching to Google Fi. As always Google is the "nicest" of the megacorporations.

I was a T-Mobile consumer for over 10 years, it was my first phone plan! I used the services in college because it was affordable, although I had bad service: drop calls, and no service in certain areas in Upstate NY. Now in NYC the service is worst and just not worth it!

It all started with the preorder of the Galaxy S10 Plus. Went in store and placed an order for the black and pink one, my wife made sure and asked the gentleman if it's available in that color and he assured us it is. He claimed it would be available for pick up on the day before release or day of. So after not receiving any email on tracking which was promised we decided to call customer service. They had told us that the link is backordered till March 19th and my phone won't ship out without hers. So our preorders dont come out of the store stock in which we placed the order, so whoever just walks off the street randomly will get one and not the preorder people. After a dozen calls and 1 rude gal we still got nowhere and no one cared.
We decided that since they refused to remedy the situation that we would just switch carriers and cancel the order. Switched to AT&T and now have both the phones today for a 3rd of their price and one was free. While trying to get our numbers to AT&T we found out they had locked my wife's number from being able to be transferred. Once again on the phone with them, though this time we were clearly getting messed with since my number was clearly switched to AT&T. Went from person to person being put on hold for 20 minutes at a time while they "verify my account" and pass me off to the next person trying to get the port number block lifted. The last guy actually hung up on me but now are done with this joke of a company.

Since December 13, 2014, I have been a T-Mobile customer. First on my brother's account and then on my own account (by the way, they never counted the three years I had been with them when I had to open a new account under my name). Nine days ago, I requested to unlock my phone because I will be traveling and I need a phone that works with any provider. I made my request on March 1, of course I paid all my equipment and accessory balances first. The agent who attended my request told me to wait from 24 to 72 hours to receive an e-mail informing me about the next steps. After waiting for the 72 hours, in fact, more than 72 hours, on day five I called again. The agent said that he will take care of my ASAP request. He tried to find out if my request was done. Then he said, "I am sending you a text with the instructions to unlock, but wait until you get the e-mail from Apple stating that the device is unlocked." I wait two to three more days.
Here I am calling again on day 9, and the guy who attended my call assured that the unlock was done. He instructed me to reset to factory my iPhone after backup. So I did! Then to verify is unlocked I tried by using one of the recommended methods (another sim card), guess what? Nothing! My phone was not unlocked. Here I am again calling T-Mobile experts. This guy said he had to resubmit my unlock request to Apple, and sent the request confirmation e-mail. This email was the first e-mail I received in all these days (except for those of password change). I feel so disappointed, for were previous agents fooling me? What was the purpose of that? Now I am definitely switching to another carrier that truly respects their clients.

My wife and I switched from Verizon to save money. Found we don't get a signal at our house so then sent "Mini Tower". Got a signal until we were 50 ft away. Again spoke to reps both on phone and online, they said we needed to upgrade phones, so we did. That was no better. So it was back to talking to reps and supposedly engineers and we're told that the signal should be better NEXT YEAR since they putting in more towers. When we tried to return phones we were told we have them too long and no way to get our money back plus pay an additional $1100.00 for phones.
A month later we received a bill from T-Mobile and a collect agency on the same day. This company has a history of doing this same thing to several people in our area we later found out. We are now back at Verizon where we can actually use our phones at our own house. To T-Mobile - I will pay the bill but you will only receive $10.00 a month, I feel this matches your level of customer satisfaction!

This company is the worst ever, took out a business plan and was given 3 cheap phones which hardly ever use, when taken out the plan was told if for any reason I need to cancel the service I will need to wait at least 5 months. Waited 4 months and now when I call customer service to cancel the account I am being told I need to pay for all the devices and I cannot return the devices. Customer Service (Andrew ID # **) told me I cannot do anything, basically, I got screwed and I have to take it. STAY VERY VERY VERY FAR AWAY FROM T-MOBILE. BY FAR THE WORST COMPANY EVER.

July of 2018 I relocated to Oregon. Was not able to get service in the Blue River area so dropped service with T-Mobile. The return equipment killed a never showed up. So took equipment to store for return. Would not accept equipment because I was no longer a customer. After numerous phone calls I finally was able to return equipment. T-Mobile meanwhile turned it in to collections. Called T-Mobile and they would talk to me since it was in collections. Called collections and they said contact T-Mobile about the equipment. Called T-Mobile again and they refused to talk with me.
Went to the store where I got the UPS tags. They spoke with customer service reps and started search for equipment. Then got an email all equipment was found in the warehouse. After waiting for next bill cycle they still showed amount being owed and amount was still in collections. So again called T-Mobile. They will not talk to me because I have no PIN as I am not a current customer and can’t assign one. Back to store... repeat process call collections. They now refer to lawyer. Call lawyer. They refer back to T-Mobile. I am now months into this. It is costing me the ability to purchase a home. NEVER NEVER NEVER use T-Mobile as a provider. I am now looking at contacting my Congressman and FCC. Sprint Merger should be placed on hold.

Late Sunday 3/3/19 went to Deptford mall store, purchased 2 iPhones XR, 2 defender cases, 2 tempered glass screen protectors. Mind you on a senior plan. I can't see well, and felt a rough surface. Thought I could wipe it to get smooth, here it's cracking. Phoned T-Mobile store mngr Jim, said I should have purchased T-Mobile warranty. Meanwhile it's the screen protector that is to have a lifetime warranty. Then called 611 as Jim told me he cannot help. What a money-hungry horrible customer service, group. The original salesperson was very nice, and will try to speak to the dist. mngr on my behalf. MY ADVICE... DON'T BUY THE EXTRAS. This is outrageous. What happened to caring for others?

I've been with T-MOBILE for many years now and over the years their customer service sucks big time! I am not only talking about the over the phone services but also their in store employees. One never knows what the other is talking about! I was in a T-MOBILE store to do an transaction. Not only was I in the store but also online with a representative. After the transaction was done I left the store only to be told I wasn't allowed to do the transaction and I'm currently being charged for their fault! NOT ONE PERSON IN THE STORE OR OVER THE PHONE STATE THAT! It's been almost 2 years and I'm still dealing with the situation and their so called "Team Of Experts" are a joke.

All I wanted to do was change the credit card connected to my T-Mobile account. I went to my local T-Mobile store for help because I have a difficult time using the T-Mobile website which is very confusing. At the store, the customer service representative was not able to change the credit card connected to my account. He said I had to do it myself online. The customer service representative handed me his tablet and the T-Mobile website rejected my email and password. Then it rejected my phone number and password.
The customer service representative then told me to call 611 and get someone to change my credit card over the phone. I called 611 and got an automated system telling me the wait time would be 59 minutes??? So I scheduled a callback for later. Had I known this would happen, I wouldn't have wasted my time stopping in there. With the prices we pay for phone service, T-Mobile could do better.

My daughter purchased a phone outright to connect to T-Mobile's service. She decided it wasn't any better or cheaper using the same benefits so she terminated it after just a few days. The representative she spoke to said it would be cancelled like she never had service because she had it less than 5 days, but would have to wait until after the 15th of the month when they charged my credit card to then request a refund. She received a bill like it was still connected so we called again. They said it would charge then credit back & it did. Then we receive another bill for $145 for the $70 that was credited plus a late fee and the next month's charges.
We called again & the rep apologized, removed my cc from the autobill system & confirmed he had everything cancelled yet again. Today, after 3 months of arguing... my young daughter receives a collection notice from Convergent for $86.21. T-Mobile is the WORST CELL COMPANY I'VE EVER EXPERIENCED. As a financial advisor, I've instilled the importance of establishing good credit so this has been even more frustrating since SHE HAS NO CONTROL OVER THIS FRAUDULENT BILLING PRACTICE.

I contacted T-Mobile representative regarding my son's phone only able to talk on phone via Bluetooth and not thru the handset. He could play his music fine and go on the internet however could not hear when answering the phone. He had just finished paying it off when this happened. After trying various troubleshooting updates, backups, reboots, the problem still existed. The representative stated that it sounded like a software issue and that since she felt that people are not told about the importance of extending warranties she would add on the extended warranty for $13 and initiate the process. I had asked her if it would be better to take it into the store and she stated that it would be better to mail it in so that I didn't get a hassle about the warranty.
We did receive the replacement phone on the 14th. I immediately placed my son's phone in the return box and sealed it up and returned it on the same day. I checked the tracking and it was received at their Texas facility on Feb 19th. I then received an email at 11 pm Feb 23rd stating that I was going to be charged $438 as the phone was never received. I contacted a T-Mobile associate once I got home from work and read this email at 10 pm, so do believe they were out of the country as I could hardly understand their accent.
I gave the associate the UPS tracking number and she saw for herself that it had been received in Texas on Feb 19th. She told me that she was going to put in a report with support and that I would not be charged as the returned phone was received. She told me that I would be receiving an email from support. I waited for an email and checked on Monday Feb 25th and never received an email from Support. I checked again on Tuesday Feb 26th and saw that my account had been charged $443 for out of warranty phone.
I then contacted T-Mobile customer service, once again after work at 10:30 pm and of course got someone out of country again. After explaining everything to him he referred me to a supervisor. The supposed supervisor stated that the phone we returned had been determined damaged, but she didn't know what type of damage was determined and I would have to wait until the next day for her to find out what type of damage was accessed.
I told her that the phone was working fine - it was simply the fact that my son couldn't answer the phone utilizing the handset and only thru his Bluetooth device. I told her that I had been promised that the phone would be covered under the warranty and that is why I agreed to send it back instead of taking it in to a local T-Mobile office so as not to be hassled regarding the warranty. Nothing was ever stated that I could automatically be charged this large amount of money or I would never had sent the phone in. I would have researched another venue as I would not have agreed to this large of an amount for a refurbished phone. I am very upset about the way T-Mobile has handled this by just charging me and never disclosing anything to me about any additional charges.
On Feb 27th I contacted them once again since I still had not received a return call nor email from the first representative who started this fiasco whom I had also reached out to. I requested T-Mobile to return my son's phone and I will send the refurbished phone back to them. Then I was told that the phone was probably destroyed since it was deemed damaged yet they can't even tell me what kind of damage they are saying was determined.
When I told the gentleman that they can't simply charge me without disclosing that to me beforehand. He stated that the first representative could not have applied the warranty without having disclosed that information to me. I told him then he could go back and listen to the conversation with her and he would see that she never stated anything about any additional charges. He stated that he would get with his supervisor and that first representative and go over the recorded phone calls and get back to me. I have yet to hear from them and don't believe that I will. I do plan on taking this to the FCC and to court if need be as I believe they are simply running a scam. Since I kept the tracking information and they couldn't charge me for not having truly received my son's phone back they decided to claim that the phone was out of warranty and charge me that way instead.
There was nothing physically wrong with the phone when we sent it in - simply the issue with not being able to talk on the phone utilizing the handset only via Bluetooth which she stated she believed was a software issue. Don't ever trust T-Mobile. Like so many of these other complaints they are scamming people to try and get money out of them.

I have been a T-Mobile customer for 25 years. Changed plans with them over the years. Been satisfied. But BEWARE - I recently changed plans within the system to get a better rate. It is so ridiculous that I will just give you the highlights of their incompetence. 3 weeks of going to T-Mobile store to accomplish a simple change. Managers asking T-Mobile employees if they had any training at all. More the a dozen calls all with promises that everything was Ok and it would start within a couple hours. (Every time it was a bold lie.)
My account was locked out once I initiated the new account so I could not pay the partial bill due at that time. Got a collection agency bill shortly afterward. (About 10 days) Called them and they said not to pay it until they figure out a final bill. Another false statement. They sent a final bill later. When I tried to pay they would only accept if I added the $21. collection agency fee. I asked them to waive the fee as they initiated and caused all the problems, the answer was NO! Dealing with T-Mobile personnel can be an absolute nightmare. Although there are some employees that are great. I would gauge your odds at 80% -20%. So if you are feeling lucky, spin the 'Wheel of Destiny' and stop in to a T-Mobile store or call them. Good luck.

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

Since I already exceeded my claim, I simply and politely asked whether it is possible that I can get a refund if I want to cancel the insurance. After 10 minute hold in silence, I was directed to the manager "Chris," just "Chris." He then explained to me the concept of insurance and how it works in a condescending voice. He took 10 minutes implying that I should be grateful for the service. Then he patronizing, asking if I plan to cancel the insurance service right now.

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

So I call to find out I’ve been charged $6 per minute. They put me on hold for over thirty minutes at $6 a minute and when I inquired if I was getting charged they said no, that was not true! Then they shut my phone off anyway! Leaving me with no cell service while I was on vacation. I had to spend my first day of vacation finding a T-Mobile store to turn my phone back on, even though I did everything they told me to do and have never fallen behind on payments they shut my phone off anyway.
They told me they’d settle the bill for $620, then charged me almost $1300 then said the best they could do was take off $200, then offered me 9 monthly payments of over $200 per month with a downpayment upfront. I told them it’s not just about the money but about the principle! They blamed me, took no responsibility for all of their misinformation, or for the fact that I was never notified within 15 minutes of my rates as I should have been. In the end I paid $480 to pay off my phone and $1100 for the bill and I’m switching to Verizon. They don’t care. Buyer beware! They do not care about customer service and no one knows anything!! Terrible experience!

So I've been with Verizon for ten years. My wife and I moved to South Carolina and we could not get service so I called and they said they were very sorry and would let me out of my contract. I called T-Mobile and was told I would need to pay 545.00 upfront so I told them I would need to think about it. I call back the next day and now I'm told I would have to pay 1200.00 to open a account. Is this how they treat first time customers?

On January 4th, I brought my father into a T-Mobile store, and we spoke with a representative to add my father and mother-in-law onto my account. The associate had given my father and I a quote of $140 a month for the bill. A few days later after I had signed us up I received a bill for $250. Both my father and I went back into the store and asked why. Associate had no answer except to change accounts into my father’s name because of his military status and a quote of 170 was given to us then and tomorrow I am paying a bill for $204. Nobody knows what they’re doing there. Customer service specialists as giving me wrong information and even their manager tried to tell me that my bill is higher because I bought these phones in December which is false. I told the manager the conversation would end one of two ways either I would be happy or discontinuing service. I did not in the conversation on a happy note. I’m going to discontinue my service.

After speaking to someone on the phone at T-Mobile in August 2017, they took my $10 and sent me a SIM starter kit so I could install it into my existing phone before signing up for a plan. Today is 2-1-2019. The SIM card has an expiration date of 6-28-2019... BUT... What T-Mobile won't tell you is that you have 60 days to install it before it goes *poof*... Never mind that the card hasn't expired yet.
After being shuffled between 4 reps in India and then finally to a US rep and her floor manager, I ended up with absolutely no attempts on their part to make this right by me. They would speak over me, answering any question I had with the same reply that the card had expired and they were happy to send me a new card for $25. Over and over! I'm not sure where they were trained to think that rudeness would be a sure-fire way to turn me into a happy customer. I didn't even get an offer of a $10 refund or $10 credit toward their SIM card that now sells for $25. I can only see that this is a bait and hook scam or consumer fraud. Hey, I wouldn't be so upset if someone had told me I had 60 days or if there had been something in the envelope or within the starter kit packet explaining that, but their failure to inform me doesn't justify ripping me off.
My final contact was in sales and then her floor manager, Zachs. Both were very condescending and didn't seem to care that I was out $10 and got nothing but aggravation for it. What has happened to customer service? I've got to say that Verizon still seems to know what it is, and I will bring my additional business to them now, and T-Mobile will never, ever be a consideration again. I've never been treated so poorly to inspire me to post a complaint to protect other consumers before, but they earned this one. Good luck if you choose to do business with them. I suggest going to a store where you can get the name of the person taking your money, and have them put everything in writing.

I just got off the phone with T-Mobile because yesterday I noticed my vmx were suddenly typed out i.e. visual voicemail. This is a service that last time this happened was $4/month/line and on at least 2 previous occasions, I discovered this months later (offered it for free then charged, etc.). I did NOT order the service yesterday, though they insist I did. Just another way to add to their bottom line to unsuspecting customers. I think state AG needs to look into bogus "services" not requested or authorized by customers of T-Mobile. I'll open a consumer affairs complaint since it continues to happen. Rep said I probably responded to one of their offers on the phone--I told her to stop T-Mobile from "offering" it without an invite. If someone wants to add a service, let them contact T-Mobile to set it up and quit trolling for more phony business.

The T-Mobile store in NorthPoint Mall, Alpharetta do not provide good customer service to their clients.

So not only did I pay off the phone that I had I bought a new one with no mention of the trade-in option, plus I bought a new one. Either the representatives have been instructed not to divulge this information or T-Mobile just wants their longtime customers to pay more. I am very unhappy with T-Mobile!

T-Mobile not only has horrible spotty coverage, but a horrible customer service/supervisor team working for them. And be sure to read ALL THE FINE PRINT, because if you ask they will lie to you. First, not telling customers their bills are not prorated when they end service midcycle is downright scammy. I only found this out 8 months after we stopped service. Your customer service reps and supervisors know nothing and it took me having to initially make numerous long waiting calls to try and fix the problem to me eventually having to talk to a debt collector to understand why I was being hounded for $147.
THIS WAS NEVER CLEARLY STATED to ME BEFORE OR AFTER I ENDED SERVICE EVEN WHEN I ASKED. I was even told by a supervisor I'd be called back and never heard anything until I got a lovely debt collector letter. I was told this would be taken care of once the supervisor got on the phone with me, and alas now I'm dealing with my credit report being affected. RIDICULOUS HORRIBLE COMPANY. JOIN AT YOUR OWN RISK.

I have been a T-Mobile customer for several years. In the past year, I have endured the worst experience with this company. My phone was not working properly and I submitted a request for another phone as it was under warranty and I confirmed this with T-Mobile. When I went to pick up the replacement phone at the store, after two hours, I was told my warranty expired. I was then accused of having the phone in my possession and a charge for $650.00 appeared on my bill. After much back and forth, they confirmed the phone was still at the store. My son lost his phone and the representative that took the call when I called in to report this cancelled out my account and insurance resulting in my claim being denied and Assurant and T-Mobile pointing fingers at each other. They do not disclose the $8.00 fee to pay over the phone, they just don't care. I would not recommend this company to my worst enemy and will be filing a complaint with the BBB.

My husband and I went to T-Mobile store 2 times, before we switched over from Verizon. We wanted to make sure that we do have coverage in the area where we live. Both times, the rep told & showed us that the area coverage map is Pink!!! The rep also told us that they have verified T-Mobile customers in the area, so we are GOOD!!! I signed the contract with Autopay.
First week, NO service outside of our home WIFI. Had to travel 10 miles to get 1 bar on the phone. (We have iPhone7 plus.) At the end of 1st week (actually 6 days after I signed the contract with T-Mobile), I went back to Verizon and switched back to them. I had to use Verizon landline to call T-Mobile, bc I had no service on my phone. I told T-Mobile that I will cancel the service, bc I got no service/signal & asked them to take me off of autopay. They promised me to take it off and all will be OK. Sure enough, 3 weeks later, I was charged automatically on my debit card the full month fee.
I called them up and spoke to a rep. T-Mobile refunded me 3 weeks and kept 1 week "for the services they provided". I was OK with it. Sure enough a month later I get a bill for the balance. Called them up... Was told it "will fall off the account" and I should not worry about it. Month later...another bill. Called them up again. Credit department will take care of/ back office!! Month later same story. This has been going on for 5 months now. And how many times I have called T-Mobile and I just get disconnected...for no reason. They can't ever provide reliable service to their own customer service.
Then my account was sent to the collection agency & I called T-Mobile again. Same story...back office will take care of it. I wonder who works there. That back office is like Mystery Box. You never know what comes out of it. How many times can I repeat myself? I already paid for the so called services - 1 week only. I'm not going to pay for the services T-Mobile did not provide. The sales rep who sold us this crappy service did not mention anything about first & full monthly payment, in case if we want to cancel. Her goal was to get the commissions. Don't go with T-Mobile.

I was a T-Mobile fans and convinced my husband to switch from Verizon about two years. During the switch, the store rep said T-Mobile has improved coverage and we will have no issue using our Verizon S7 phones. After switch, we spent numerous hours talking to the T-Mobile staff for various issues, different staff have different levels of training and offered different theories. Some said it's APN, some said it's sim card, some said it's signal and coverage, some said it's the phone.
One time a T-Mobile staff transferred the call to a Samsung rep who stated it's not the phone issue. We were confused, exhausted, frustrated, and disappointed. How come the store did not tell us when we switch? How many calls, business, and trips we missed and affected? Our friends and families are frustrated and telling us to dump the phones and the service. The T-Mobile reps tried to convince us to purchase new phones, we felt this is another trap. We just changed the sim cards, still have hope the issue will be resolved.

This is the email I attempted to send to the CEO of T-Mobile using the email address I was given by a T-Mobile customer service rep. I tried to send it 4 times and each time it was refused. Obviously he doesn't care anymore about his customers or customer service than anyone else at that company: "Dear Mr. Legere, my name is Amy ** and I am at a loss as to where else to turn so I decided to go straight to the top of your company. On 5/8/18 my sister and I signed up for the T-Mobile ONE Unlimited 55 plan and purchased two LG V30 phones on a BOGO program. When we made the change we were showed a map at the store that showed coverage in the area where we lived and worked because we both travel for our jobs. We were coming from AT&T and were excited because it was a much better deal than we had at AT&T.
At first we seemed to have some coverage in certain areas but not that great. By the time I had any jobs in other areas and found out I had no service whatsoever it was past the 14 days. I was even in Asheville, NC which is a pretty large city in NC and I had absolutely no service for talk or text for two days. I decided I had to try to do something. I called T-Mobile and talked to numerous customer service reps for over a period of 5 1/2 hours on one day. I was told they had had complaints from other customers in my area. It was decided by your reps that it would be best if we would cancel the service and be put on an EIP (equipment installation plan) and buy the phones from T-Mobile and take the unlocked devices to AT&T and get the service back from them. They were aware that we were cancelling both lines and buying both phones.
I was told that the charge per month would be $54.00 which was $30.00 for both phones ($15.00 each) because they were on a BOGO plan and $12.00 per phone for insurance. A few days later I received a later saying that the insurance on the phones was cancelled which brought the monthly fee down to $30.00 which for 22 months was $660.00 but because of payments already made I was told we still owed $638.00 to pay off the phones and close our account. When I received the August bill it was for $668.17. I called and talked to a rep named Renee and I asked if I could break the amount down into a few payments without any additional charges or fees and she said I could so I made a payment of $170.00 on 8/23/18.
On 9/23/18 a collection letter was sent out that said I owed $532.17 even though I was told I could make the payments. When I called about the letter, I was told in order to break it down into payments I needed to go back to the T-Mobile store and buy a SIM card and that she would call me back after I made the purchase and get the card number in order to set it up on a payment plan. After I did all of this and talked to various reps it was determined that that was not going to work and that it had to all be paid off. So now I had to come up with the $532.17 plus I was out the money for the new SIM card. My sister and I came up with the money and I paid it in full on 10/11/18 and was told by Rey that that was all I owed.
After making this payment I thought it was over but it was far from it. The next bill I received showed that I owed $566.17 with no explanation as to why. I called and spoke to Marquita who said she had no idea what the charge was for and she said she would have her manager call me on 10/22/18. I never received any call from her manager. I have my phone with me at all times because of my job and I had no missed calls. I called again on 11/15/18 and talked to Fonz and then to Mary Jane, a supervisor and she said she would have her supervisor call me on 11/16/18. Of course that call never came either. Somehow the bill went down to $71.00 and I called to find out what it was for on 11/20/18 and talked to Jameka who said she was located in Charlotte, NC and that she would look into the problem and definitely call me on 11/30/18 so that she could make sure everything had cleared out.
So now three for three, she also never called me back.One of the problems was that we were being charged for the number associated with the SIM card that they used in an attempt to set up monthly billing which never worked. And I was also being charged for some reconnect fee when I had no service with your company. I have now received a bill that is back up to $571.10. They say this is for the other phone. When I cancelled the service in late May they knew we were cancelling the entire plan for both phones. All the reps I talked to at that time quoted me the same pay off amount of $30.00 x 22 months left to pay off. They knew it was BOGO and they told me that was all we would own.
I am sure this is not something you normally deal with but I am begging for your help in this matter. I am asking for a credit to my account for all I have been through and to have my account closed once and for all. I have been very disappointed with the lack of concern by so many of your company's representatives who have promised a callback but have never followed through on their promises.

Be careful with these guys. They will offer you deals that they don't honor. This is a shame. They all apologize but don't solve your problem.

"Human error." That's what they called it! This "human error" was made by a manager.
Be aware. Make sure that you really want to be with this company before you sign any contract. This is a bunch of irresponsible people just trying to play with other people's wallet. I broke my phone and for the first time, I called them. They were supposed to replace my phone which they did with a used, broken phone that I sent back to them... After a couple of months, they decide to charge my account $652.60 which $480.32 plus taxes was for the phone that I have returned to them already.
Date: July 16th, 2018. After many phone calls, they said they would return my money but what they did was: they kept the money and every month, until now, they are discounting my monthly bill from that amount. Besides that, after all the hours I spent on the phone talking with all different types of employees and managers, comes this manager (I am sure she was ashamed of everything that was going on with my account) and offers me a plan for the people that are over 55 years old (I am 51 and my husband 54) which would bring my bill to about $102.00 a month all inclusive (about $120.00 a month after I added a Galaxy Note 9 and I paid half of it right away).
I received a text message from T-Mobile to let me know about my next payment and today, I called them to understand why my bill is $168.59 instead of a bill of $120.00 +/- and the explanation is "human error"... This manager should never offer what she offered. They do whatever they want and don't honor their word. I have been with T-Mobile for many years and all of these problems just begin since I claimed a broken phone (I pay the insurance for all these years, never claimed anything) and the first time I do claim I ended up paying for the replacement glass myself because my phone is a very good phone and the replacement that was sent to me was a used phone and I couldn't work with it. That is why I send it back and guess what? All the trouble started since then. BE CAREFUL! SHAME ON T-Mobile.

We joined T-Mobile 2 years ago. We were told that our phones were free and that our monthly bill would be 120 a month. Our first bill was for over 400. We called customer service and was told that the phones were not free and that this is the standard for 4 lines. I was furious. I went to the store and spoke with the sales rep that signed us up. He explained that the customer service aka headquarters does not have the same info due to their computers and headquarters do not communicate with each other. The sales guy calls them and gets our bill lowered. Ok fine. The very next month our bill is over 300. Go back to the store and once again get a runaround but the bill was lowered. Every month our statements were always high and never the same amount.
After about six month's of this bs we call them to cancel the service. They told us, "Ok you will need to pay 2500 to cancel." We were blown away. We did not have a contract with them. I asked what that was for and they said, "For the 4 cell devices and the tablet." I said, "We only owe for one phone." When we joined the deal was buy one get one free for the Samsungs. So we had done that. The other two phones were both LGs and they were free. They informed us that in fact they are only "FREE" after two years. So in essence that's why our bills were so high. They had been charging us for all the phones. And the tablet which they said was free.
Now fast forward our two years are up. We call to cancel the service for three phones and transfer one of the lines to another account. That took 4 days of calling because every time we called we were told it was taken care of. Everything finally got done except now I am due a refund since we canceled in the middle of the billing cycle. That was in Nov and it is now the end of Jan and still no refund. Instead they sent me to collections. I called customer service again. Now mind you since canceling with them I have had to call them now 7 times.
Here is the biggest issue. You can't go to the store to get things handled in person. Everything has to be done over the phone with people who are incompetent and barely speak English. I still do not have any resolution to this issue. I am supposed to get a confirmation call this coming Tuesday that the collection issue is resolved and my refund processed. We'll see.

Location: 6181 Livingston Rd Oxon Hill, MD 20745. 12/29/18 I go to the T-Mobile store and ask if they would accept my daughter's phone as a trade-in when I purchase the iPhone 8. The salesman, **, refers to a red hair Spanish lady who calls the manager on the phone. After the manager receives a photo of the phone he says he'll accept the trade-in. Between ** communicating with someone on his watch phone, singing, dancing and cursing we were able to purchase the phone.
The store does not transfer data via cables and there was a lot of data on the phone which was not previously backed up so transferring data was impossible. ** told me that I should go home and try to backup the data on the old phone from home so that when logging into the new phone with iCloud the next day all of the apps, contacts, etc will automatically be transferred. He told us not to touch the phone today, but by tomorrow the new phone will have the transferred number and all the apps and contacts. ** also tells me about a bundle deal if I purchase the screen protector and case together. The bundle is $39.99. I initially say no but go ahead and do it anyway. We go home.
12/30/18 After being told to go home to increase the storage space so we can upload and transfer the contacts, apps and photos, which never worked... Even when they tried in store via WIFI... NO CABLES??? While in store I inform the employee, "You NEVER put a receipt in the bag." He tells me he used my phone to take a picture of it... Whatever happened to a paper receipt!! In looking at my photos no receipt was there. Mysteriously he's able to print a receipt. On the bill I see he charged me $39.99 for a case and then charged me $39.99 for a screen protector but when he was selling it he said that I was getting both for $39.99 as a bundle. I also noticed a phone number on the bill that wasn't mine and never saw my number on the bill at all... He said that it was the temporary number that you get when pulling existing numbers from a carrier.
At this point the new phone still is not working with the new number. I also notice on the bill that my phone number and not my daughter's, who the purchase is for, phone number is attached to the items purchased that day... I'm not sure if that's because my phone is the main number on the account. At this point I'm truly frustrated with the service received. A phone purchase should not take multiple days.
12/31/18 After further looking at my bill I realize that ** did not take anything off the bill for accepting the phone as a trade-in and her phone number STILL has not been pulled over from the other carrier. The old phone is still running and the new phone isn't. I received a call from a T-Mobile rep regarding the number I wanted to pull over because the store rep entered in the wrong number. Within minutes the online rep got the new phone to final have the number and the phone works properly.
1/1/19 I return to the store because the receipt received does not reflect a trade-in deduction. I again approach the same salesman. I do this because I won't have to explain what happened between myself and another person so I decide to continue to work with him. I ask him to show me where on the bill does it show you accepted my trade-in. He looks at the bill and says he must have forgotten. He tells me there's nothing he can do since the transaction is already processed. He says that I need to come in the next day when a manager is on duty.
I explained to him me coming in AGAIN is extremely inconvenient. He said that since the transaction is processed only a manager has access to make adjustments and that the manager needs to see the phone in order to determine the amount that will be discounted for the trade-in which made absolutely no sense to me because the manager was not there when I made the initial purchase, so who was going to determine the trade-in amount at that time? Frustrated I decided to ask for the manager's name and number. I leave the store and decide to return the next day to speak with the manager face to face.
1/2/19 ** informed me that the manager would be in at noon. I arrive at 12:15 and was informed that the manager was in a conference call that would last about 1 hour 45 mins. The lady at the front desk tries to be helpful asking for background info thinking she may be able to help. After briefing her on the situation she relayed the info to the manager. It was decided at that time that he would make a copy of my bill in order to have my account info and the salesperson would look up the value of the phone. Once getting the value on the computer monitor she showed me and she informed me that after his call the manager would apply the credit to my bill and that I did not have to stay. Also she explained to me that when they refer to a "bundle deal" they are offering 2-3 items that you do not have to pay for upfront and will appear on your monthly statement to be paid in increments... Totally not the way ** presented the package.
1/3/19 In looking at my bill I do not see the credit that the store manager promised to give. I call the store because I notice that on my 12/30/18 receipt that I paid $130 did not even go to the correct phone number so someone else is now walking around with my $130 credit. I call the store manager who when the salesman picked up the phone said was available, but somewhere between finding out who was on the line became busy with a customer and would have to call me back. Let's see how long this takes. Call was placed at 12:46pm. So it's 3:10 and I still have not received a call back from the store manager.
At 2:11 I started an online chat with a T-Mobile online representative. ***Side note---both online representatives that helped me on 12/31/18 and 1/3/19 were absolutely wonderful and helped fix my problems.*** Today's representative after reviewing the credit that was erroneously applied to someone else's account advised me to return to the store and have them do a refund and then ring up my payment so it can be applied to the correct account. While she was looking at my account I asked her if she saw the credit that the store manager was to apply yesterday and of course she didn't... Even though when I called the store earlier today the manager relayed through an employee that he did.
After getting this refund I will NEVER return to this location. I will give another location a try due to the superb customer service I received online. When I arrived at the store a female employee tried to assist me and when she couldn't figure out what to do ALL of the female employees worked together to help me and for this I'm truly grateful. By the time I left the store my issue was resolved and I truly appreciate the ladies coming together to assist and they all were professional. At this point, if I have to deal with this location I'll give the ladies a chance.

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

I had a grandfathered plan of the Simple Choice with the added 4g LTR 6 gb of data. Music streaming is supposedly free. BingeOn was enabled and according to the advertisement, explanations, and FAQ, BingeOn should not affect the 4g LTE 6gb of data and that I can tether my phone to my laptop and watch streaming qualifying streaming video without it affecting the 6gb. Great. I get a text message two weeks into the billing cycle saying that I’ve reached my limit. Wtf. So I go to check my data usage and apparently they had been deducting my from my 6gb for the “free BingeOn” video streaming and on top of that the WIFI usage. I’m using WiFi. Not the ** data. Utter bull.
So I call customer service and she basically steers me to the T-Mobile ONE plan saying that I have 50gb of 4g LTE data I can use and I won’t need the BingeOn and I can watch all the video streaming blah blah blah. Great. So I switch. Also, she explained that when using the WiFi, the phone will automatically switch to data if the connection is weak, which I found out later that my phone has the function disabled so it should’ve only been using WiFi. Anyway, not only am I unable to watch any streaming while tethered to laptop now, I can’t even load ANY streaming sites on my phone and I haven’t even gotten near to using half of the 50gb.
I called customer service and they explained that ya, when you tether you get throttled to 3g service, which explains why I can’t even load the pages. I didn’t even know at the time when I spoke to CS that streaming wouldn’t load on my phone. They also tried to upsell me the ONE Plus plan for $15 more which would allow me to tether up to 10gb. Something very suspicious about that. In any case, I demanded to have my old grandfathered plan back and had them confirm that the BingeOn should not affect my data usage etc etc. It’ll take 1-2 days to go back into effect. So I’m still waiting on that.
As I’m researching the internet it turns out there are many others who switch to the ONE plan, whether it’s military or not, and are experiencing the same issue of not being able to load any streaming sites from their phone using data (WiFi it works fine). One customer said they had the ONE Plus plan and it worked fine. The streaming worked for the worker who switched their SIM card into the customer's phone. So basically, they sell you on the ONE plan saying you get 50gb of 4g LTE and you can stream movies from your phone from the streaming sites (YouTube, Hulu, Netflix) but the problem arises that you can’t even load the sites on your phone. Then they try to upsell you getting the more expensive plan so that the streaming will work. It’s a huge scam and I don’t even know if people are realizing this and it seems to be a prolific problem with this company. Something needs to be done to stop this.

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

We had T-Mobile for a little over two years. During this time we never had good service and called every single month when a bill came out due to erroneous charges. At first their way of fixing it was to simply throw money at our bills. When we told them we would rather pay the bill and have service they still never actually fixed the issue. We were constantly waiting on tech support or someone to call us back, which they never did and the problem was never resolved. Finally I asked them to just get rid of the lines and send us a bill for the equipment charges that were left over. We did not have a contract with them so there should not have been any further charges after our last bill. We never received a bill from them for the equipment.
Fast forward six months and they had sent us to a credit collection agency for an outrageous bill that we had never seen! When I asked the credit agency about it they said the company stated it had been sending us notices for 6 mos to a made up address, and the email on file for us. Since the email on file was actually correct we went to check it, there was nothing from them since our last bill that we called about prior to cancelling service. No notices, not other bills, nothing. This company instead used the shady practice of debt parking and just sent this final charge straight to a debt collector.
We are now trying to get this resolved and I am spending more time and energy on something that I should have never had to deal with in the first place. I cannot begin to explain the amount of frustration this company has put us through. This was the biggest scam and waste of my life ever. Please learn from my mistake and do not use T-Mobile, you will regret it.

For your corporate store in Waimalu Shopping Plaza in Aiea, Hawaii, I would rate this store a "0". I had to wait 17 minutes to do a 1 minute transaction and that was to pay my bill. I started to take pictures of my experience in the store and this finally got the manager's attention. I think his name was SAM. He was more concerned about me taking pictures and said that he would ask me to leave the store. He told me that I can't take pictures and replied I certainly can. Poor customer service is needed to be shared with everyone. Having been in business operations myself having a customer wait that long for a transaction of this type is poor customer service protocol or business objective. And instead of taking my payment I was asked to leave the store. I have been a loyal customer of T-Mobile for years now and find this type of treatment as hostile and is a result of poor management at this store.
I had to travel 5 miles to another T-Mobile store where I know has better customer service to pay my bill. The Beretania store near Safeway promptly helped me as soon as I walked in. I was out in 2 minutes. I would rate this store a "10". Your employees should learn to multitask when someone needs to pay a bill. This transaction is not time consuming. Making a customer wait is an exercise in negative goodwill. Your company has taken the convenience of using the pay machines out of the stores so your customers have to go to the counter. Please make this experience more efficient by setting it up as a goodwill priority for your PAYING CUSTOMERS. All customers need to be serviced in a timely manner. A satisfied customer will tell about 10 people about their good service; a dissatisfied customer will tell a 100; and a customer like me will tell 1000's...

I had T-Mobile for 3 years and was never overly satisfied or dissatisfied with them. But, then, I lost my job very suddenly (Christmas-time. "Merry Christmas, we're closing our doors forever, immediately.") from an employer who would not provide me a severance or any additional support. Suddenly, I'm counting pennies and realize the necessity of cutting down on my bills in every way possible.
One of my first decisions was to go to a new phone service provider, where I would save about $70.00 a month based on this new company's rates and the service changes I was willing to make. I called T-Mobile immediately and asked them to clarify for me a shut-off date based on what I've paid for (I had been carrying an out-of-state phone number for years, and decided that if I was going to change providers, I might as well finally get a local number. So, if there was time available to contact people using my old phone number and let them know of the phone number change, I was going to use up whatever time I had already paid for). They gave me that date, and I expected my phone to be shut off, ending my relationship with T-Mobile. So far, so good - the representative had helped me with the info I needed and I acted accordingly.
The shut-off date came and went. But 2 days after the supposed shut-off date, my credit card got charged with another month of service. I got out my old phone from where I stored it (I had already factory-reset it and put it away), and sure enough, the service was still turned on. I immediately called them, explained the previous request detains to a new representative, and he promised me a credit to my card. That call was 2 days ago.
Now, today, 2 days later - no credit and the phone is STILL turned on. I called again, and this representative basically said I received erroneous info from both of the other 2 representatives and told me that the new charges were what I owed. When I pointed out that his own company's representatives were why I was expecting a first-of-the-year shut off date and a refund for the new charges, he summarily dismissed my concerns with a general expectation that they would be keeping my money and that there would be no other resolution.
So, essentially, T-mobile is saying they can tell you whatever they want, whenever they want, but that we have no reasonable right to expect them to stand by the information dispensed by THEIR OWN REPRESENTATIVES. All of my expectations were given to me by their employees and every one of those expectations were shattered by a simple statement from a disaffected employee that I was given "incorrect information from previous representatives."
Even my angry insistence that they stand by the information they have given out to their customers was dismissed. "We do not keep notes of the actual conversations and what was said or promised," the guy said. Really? Because I heard a message just before he picked up the line saying the calls are recorded. AND, his statement implies the potential that he's calling me a liar. Wow, screw me over on money I can't afford AND call me a liar, and all this without even an apology for their misinformation?? DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THEM OR THIS IS WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT!

In December 2018, I contacted T-Mobile to see if a better plan existed for my 2 line phone plan. Turns out there was a much better plan that would lower my plan charge by $50/month if I went on auto pay. I also would lose Netflix - which I never asked for and never used - getting a much better deal to lose something I never used was a no-brainer. The rep I spoke with said that, if I waited until the cycle ended for the month, I wouldn't get pro-rated charges. Again, not a problem; So I went off with the assumption that once the next billing cycle began, I would see the $50/month decrease.
To my dismay, I logged onto my account today and found that my auto-pay for January IS NOT at the reduced rate. Called them, and after a lot of rate plan blather about when this would actually take effect and that the higher rate was still valid for this month's autopay, I just hung up. While I was given the impression that my payment would decrease starting January, what they said is that the new plan would kick in in January, and the autopay wouldn't decrease until February. To say this was less than clearly explained when I changed plans is an understatement. I am not happy.
I've been a customer of theirs for many years, and it is just lately that I constantly have to monitor my bill for charges that shouldn't be there and require a phone call to get them resolved. I don't know what has caused the mindset that seems to dominate T-Mobile now; but perhaps it is time for me to go shopping for another provider. Not that I expect the others to be much better; but perhaps they'll try to work harder to keep a long-time customer. It seems like trying to drum up new business is more important than keeping the customers you've had for a long time happy.

I've been a T-Mobile customer for over 14 years. We gave my older, fully paid for iPhone SE to my son as his first phone and decided to go with T-Mobile pre-paid, or pay as you go, service. It was a great deal at first, then when I refilled the account by phone, the $40 instantly disappeared in a matter of days. I called their customer service from that phone and after quite a long wait and eventual callback, was told that $20 of that payment "mysteriously" disappeared, so they put it back.
I started trying to check the phone account more often, but the website showed almost nothing about the account, not even usage info. Smelling a rotten egg, I researched Verizon and it sounded like a much better deal. I soon learned while trying to port his number over that the iPhone SE was locked. We'd never had to unlock a phone before, but I had to go to T-Mobile to have it done. I tried calling customer service at T-Mobile that evening, got immediately put on hold to be transferred to the terrible pre-paid service again. After 15 min. on hold, hung up as I needed to head out.
Next morning, called customer service with my phone (on a post-paid plan) and the much nicer, more sincere cust. rep answered immediately. She explained the pre-paid phones have a different customer service to assist, and she only could help with post-paid. She also said it's no secret that customer service for prepaid is indeed a joke. Later that day, I went into the downtown Seattle T-Mobile store and a few helpful employees (Mani mainly) took around an hour to figure out how to just send a request to unlock the phone. Their primary concern are post-paid "normal" plans, not prepaid, so it took quite an effort for them to even find my phone in their records to start the process.
Eventually they completed the unlock request, saying I'd get an email from whoever unlocks them. All they left me was a reference number, no actual official paperwork with any details or explanations on what happened next. Just said, "it'll take up to 24 hours to get that email". They also agreed the pre-paid customer service a completely different animal in terms of service from post-paid.
24 hours later, nothing, so I went back to the same store to check. The same customer service rep, Mani, challenged that it hadn't been 24 hours yet, claiming I'd come in a few hours later the day before when I knew I hadn't. He checked, seemingly dismissive as to why I was in his face, and said no info yet. All he could do. And that if I had called customer service, they could tell me the same thing.
After that, I stopped worrying about it, seeing from google reviews that sometimes this could take days. Then about 40 hours after the unlock request that fabled email finally arrived. Excited, I followed the steps and it didn't work. Not a lot of options on how to fix this, I called T-Mobile post-paid customer service as Mani suggested. The very nice woman said she had no info for me and refuted Mani's suggestion that she could help me. But she dug in and together finally pulled up info - only it was just the same email I'd gotten. I appreciated her hour with me on the phone even though no solution was evident except she told me I should go back to the T-Mobile store to get help again.
Eventually I figured out the solution on my own and got the phone unlocked. Two store visits, a handful of phone calls, and a useless website over four days was a bit of a nightmare just to simply unlock a phone. It seems T-Mobile is just too big - to completely offshore the pre-paid service to a company woefully inadequate compared to its post-paid service astounded me. I wondered how they keep any business. Sure, they seem to have lots of bonuses, "free" phones, etc., but if you try to switch, good luck. Congrats to Verizon on your new customer. After this exercise I'll be better prepared when I leave T-Mobile soon.

Nothing but problems since I joined them 3 years ago. I have one phone that’s on “jump” which is basically a phone lease. Once that lease is up, you can opt to extend payments to keep it and pay it off, or you can trade it in for a new phone. I opted to keep it and did what was necessary to extend the payments. In September I get a $400 bill. I was told they never received the documents I e-signed to extend the payments and they would call me back after they research my options. Over a week later they call me and tell I’m ineligible to extend payments and needed to pay the bill with the cost of the phone included. All they could do was split up the bill into 8 month increments of $50. I agreed.
Now, In December I’m getting a $275 bill. I called and they said I have to pay the $50 payment plan agreed upon plus I still need to pay the $20 device rental I initially tried to sign up for, and they said I was ineligible for back in September. The rep I talked to in September did NOT tell me this and the rep I spoke to in December acknowledged this. So I’m paying $20 for the phone AND an extra $50 for the phone AND the bill from September... How does this make sense?! An extra $70 a month when all I owe on the phone is $163.
I never got any communication about this, and apparently they credited my account in October $197, which I had no idea about because I’m enrolled in auto pay and assume that the payment is automatically made the same way it has been for nearly 2 years. So they blamed me for no payment in October, even though it should have been taken out and they said a letter was sent to my address. However once I again I received nothing. I offered to just pay the phone off at this point, but the rep said I’d still have to pay the $50 for the next 7 months because that’s what was agreed upon. Basically I would pay for the phone and continue to make payments for the bill from September and the phone, I’d be paying double what I actually even owe. I’ve always paid my bill on time, I’ve done everything T-Mobile reps instructed me to do and somehow they are charging me more. Once my phone is laid I’m off, I’m leaving and never going back.

Bill higher than expected every month. Wish I could switch to a prepaid service but if I did I would have to pay in full for my current phone at T-Mobile's inflated prices. Got current phone when previous phone would no longer charge battery. Went to the store hoping they would replace battery for small fee. Wish I had dropped my service and walked out of the store empty handed I would be better off. Bills are too high but if I end service I'll have a big bill to pay all at once. Buyer beware. Avoid T-Mobile!

Since I have a past due for waiting for the rebate, they will not pay me what I'm due since my bill needs to be paid. But why won't they just give me $650 and I can pay my past due. I have been with them for a long time and now I'm looking to go to AT&T, my friend and her family switched to them with $0 down for the new IPHONE XS MAX.

We had a family plan with 2 phones for almost a year, one of which was for my disabled spouse. Prior to joining the family plan, my husband was a loyal T-Mobile customer on an individual plan and had no issues with his phone. After the T-Mobile rep suggested that we set up a family plan, my husband's phone stopped working instantly. When we got home from the T-Mobile store, he was no longer able to receive calls or make outgoing calls from inside the house. Anytime he received calls from the doctor, he had to schedule them and was forced to go outside to sit in our vehicle for the duration of the call. Again, he is disabled and this was a HUGE hassle. I was also not able to reach him via phone, when he was at home by himself, because his phone did not receive incoming calls. This meant that I had NO way of contacting him in the case of an emergency, or vice-versa.
For the next 6-8 months we spoke with countless T-Mobile reps and technicians and a handful of supervisors (i.e. Jill, Arias, April, etc. ), all of whom made promises they didn't intend to keep. They told us what we needed to hear, to get us off the phone. We were promised only a hundred dollar refund for paying full price for a family plan that only had ONE working phone the entire time. They refused to prorate the bill, in any way, knowing that the phone never worked while on the family plan. We received 2 SIM cards that still did not correct the issue. They blamed my husband's phone which was the same phone he used with his individual T-Mobile plan,in the previous months.
The fact of the matter is that, the phone did not have any problems until the T-Mobile rep tried to configure it for a family plan. We even asked if they could send over another phone, an older less desirable model, if that would be easier. T-Mobile refused and wanted us to purchase a brand new phone. Many of the reps that we spoke with (well over a dozen reps now) seemed to purposely avoid making note of the issue on our account. Each time we called, they made us explain the whole ordeal over and over, while they pretended to have no knowledge of it. Even after stating that they'd make notes on the acct, once the call ended. We normally spoke with customer service a few times a month, to see if any further progress had been made. After all, we had the same ongoing issue from day one.
The only thing that the reps managed to fix was the phones ability to receive texts and the web access was still touch and go. It was completely unacceptable. We finally got tired of the games and switched to a new service. About two weeks ago, we noticed that T-Mobile had gone into my bank acct and charged us $173. I spoke with a supervisor and explained that we no longer had the service, along with all of the other unresolved issues. The supervisor promised to refund the money to my account and to remove my info from autopay, since I no longer authorized T-Mobile to have access to my bank acct. We were even given an refund reference number.
They refunded the money and then took the same amount of money out AGAIN, from my other bank acct, this week. Since December 10, 2018, I have spoken with at least 5 additional reps (one of which pretended to be a supervisor to avoid transferring us to a REAL one) and 1 actual supervisor named, Arias, who was not helpful at all. Leine, one of the More recent T-Mobile reps, was completely professional. She did not even attempt to listen, laughed and played games on the call. We were on the call with Leine for over 30 minutes, and we asked to speak with a supervisor at least 8 times. Each time, Leine refused and ignored the requests, until we notified her that her behavior was unacceptable and we would be contacting the BBB and corporate. At that point, she said, "She (she being the manager) is on a call." I asked if "she" was the only manager there, and Leine stated that there were "a lot of different managers" there.
I said, "Great, then one should be available now." Leine assured me that she would to put me in touch with a manager and then transferred me to a rep named, Monica, who tried to pretend to be someone of authority. When we asked what role she played in the company, she stated that she was just another rep. Leine was apparently still listening in on the line. Leine finally transferred us to an actual manager named, Arias, who had a demeanor as if he were the dissatisfied customer who had been jerked around for the past 6-8 months. Arias flat out said, "There's nothing I can do."
So, I'll be contacting several people regarding this issue. Maybe even the consumer segment on the local news. T-Mobile has done those to too many people and they need to be held accountable for their actions. The reps believe that there will be no consequences for their behavior, since the customer service department is not located in the U.S. So, they are fine with providing service that is less than satisfactory. After all, who can really penalize them, other than the company itself? They are, by far, one of the worst wireless service providers I've ever encountered. I have no problem with outsourcing, at all, just be sure that your customers are receiving quality service. Otherwise, you won't be able to retain them.

On the following Monday, I contacted T-Mobile, first by chat (complete waste of time - the agent simply went away and never came back). Then I used the "Call me" option from their website.
T-Mobile acknowledged that they had received the monies. They also told me that they had "messed up" and had no way to apply the monies they had received towards paying off the two handsets. They said the only thing they could do was to refund the monies back to me, and for me to start the whole process over from scratch. I refused the refund for the moment, since accepting the refund would put all the effort to make this payoff happen back onto me. For a multi-billion dollar company like T-Mobile to be unable to process a lease to own payment.

Our paperwork was a fraud. So then we had to buy a new phone since the stolen one stopped working. We ended up paying at least 50 to 80 dollars extra a month for no reason at all and no one could give us a straight answer. Service is AWFUL! They sent us a signal tower that never worked.

I was on the phone for an hour before being told that the line would be canceled and I would be refunded the almost $500.00 I was charged.
After a month or so, I noticed that they only refund me $100.00. Upon calling back, the call taker was absolutely horrible. She told me that there was still an active line on my account and initially claimed that there was not record of me calling to cancel. After going back and fort for a while, she miraculously found that record of me calling to end service a month prior. She then insist that I would need to pay more money to T-Mobile and even went as far as saying that I still owed them money for the current bill.

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

So in other words the MSRP was about $1100 on my phone, I have to pay it down to $550 and then I'd get the credit on my T-Mobile bill but it's not going to be $900 credit or even the max of $650. It's only half of the original MSRP which would be a credit of $550.
The saleswoman that came to my office told me that she worked for T-Mobile directly. When we were talking the guy in training inadvertently mentioned their contract with T-Mobile. I looked at her and said, "You told me that you work for T-Mobile and specifically that you are a W2 employee of them." She said, "No, I meant T-Mobile pays my company and they pay me." I asked her the name of her company and unfortunately I didn't write it down but I do know that the name wasn't Wireless Fulfillment which is what the guy answering the phone told me the name of the company was.
Obviously I'm not getting straight answers. I realize the T-Mobile isn't directly at fault - it's the company they contracted to do the sales but they do share some of the blame for outsourcing their sales I suppose. Either way I'm cancelling. I don't do business with untruthful people. What a waste of 3 hours of time yesterday and an hour today on the phone. That doesn't count the time I spent typing this but this rant was enjoyable at least.

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

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

T-Mobile lies. I was encouraged to switch to a lower cost plan as I told them have no need for the 4th additional line that I have had for so long. They told me this will be the best plan as it is cheaper and faster speed, unlimited 4G data plans for my whole family plan (3 lines). After the switch over I realized my internet service has slow down substantially. I have more difficulty getting internet connection as well. Today I tried to make a call to Texas and I was shocked to hear the voice recording saying that my plan no longer serve that location. That I will be charge per minute if I proceed. This is outrageous lying. They are thieves!
Three years ago they have a special promotion for Alcatel tablet. I fell for that trick. It was the most ** tablet. It is almost impossible to use as the typing function was so slow and correction was difficult. The whole tablet is not a basically a ** device.

Lately the charger/device even stopped working completely, It is a unethical to even promote such a useless product. I complained but they turned a deaf ear.
Now again I am tricked the 2nd time with false promises. They told me I will get a much higher data speed (4G) & everything will be the same. After I changed plan it is not what they promised. All said were lies, I can’t believe I have to pay per minute to call Texas and who know where else. I wish I could find a lawyer to sue them.

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

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

Order was "held up/reversed for some reason that they do not even know what it is", yet no one gave me a call. I have been transferred numerous times and no one has been able to help me. I have spend over 3 hours on the phone with them and I am nowhere closer to a resolution. Let me also fill you in on the T-Mobile scam about no contract and their carrier freedom.
1. The reason there is no contract is because you have to buy the phones by either paying full price for them or financing them. You can do the same with any carrier.
2. Them saying that they will pay up to $650 for you to be able to get out of the contract with your other carrier is a scam. Unless you have a phone in good shape to give them they will not pay anything for you to get out of your contract. So if you have a phone that might be a little damage you do not get anything. It is a total scam!
How are these people still in business I have no idea! I highly recommend that you look elsewhere or prepare to have lots of issues. On top of that their coverage sucks, I have 2 friends that have t-mobile and they are constantly complaining about the service coverage area. Good luck if you decide to go with this company.

No one called me, but my money was pulled from my account for more than $900 (because even though the other phone is free you still have to put the deposit down but you get it back). So they canceled the stuck order and told me I could go in the store and pick it up same day and they would waive activation fees. I activated a new line and upgraded the other to get the promo. When I tried to test out the new line it didn't work. I was told it would be active in a couple of days, the line was listed on the contract but was put in reserve.
Long story short after at least 50-60 calls to customer service they finally activated the line in 2 months later in August. I was told the adjustment would be made so that the added line's phone would be free. It is now November and the other phone was never credited. T-Mobile is now saying they can't do anything for me because of the timeframe. I called them weekly to correct the issue. This entire situation is beyond me and once the lines are paid for I'm just going back to my previous carrier. It's not worth saving money monthly to get taken advantage on other things.

My biggest complaint with previous companies was one person giving me some wishy washy explanation and then the next person I talked to had a completely contradictory answer and then the bill would reflect something that didn't match either. The bills and plans and payment options to make payments directly on your device are much simpler than other companies I've experienced, and I really do feel like most team members know what the heck they're talking about.

CANNOT solve any issues on the phone - everything is outsourced, the people who take your $ have nothing to do with the services and those people have no access to your history. NO ONE on the phone in a store can help unless you go to the store. When you go to the store - you have to WAIT FOREVER.

WORST POSSIBLE EXPERIENCE EVER!!! It does NOT matter if you prescribe to proclaim of outstanding customer services when customers follow your payment plan guides and rules ESPECIALLY when they’ve said “we’re handling it on our end. Just pay this amount..." and then they disconnect your services!!! This honor goes to Jeff, Anita, and Supervisor Robert of “Your Great Personal Team for Dallas” located in Wichita, Kansas!!! They actually told me I was lying about the payment arrangement that Jeff, himself, gave me with MONITORING it from his end!!! CHOOSE AT&T or ANY OTHER COMPANY WHO HONOR THEIR WORD CONSISTENTLY!!!

T-Mobile is pure garbage phone company. They are ripping off people every way they can. I canceled my number on the third of the month. They want to charge me for whole month instead of prorate. I even used just three days. Better pay extra 50 bucks. Go with Verizon. Do not deal with ** T-Mobile.

I switched from Verizon (big mistake) to T-Mobile in order to save some money every month. Although I am only saving $20 a month it just isn't worth all the issues I have had. It took literally 7 hours and a dozen calls to customer service to switch carriers. That's while being at the T-Mobile store. I lose calls all the time and sometimes can't even call out due to no connection to the network. When I do get a call out the person on the other end can barely hear me or we lose the call. I HATE that! It's 2018 and we can't have complete coverage and clear calls??! I will be switching back to Verizon shortly here. To me needing to make a call when I need to is the MOST important thing in case of an emergency instead of saving $20 and having to gamble on if my call will go through or not. BTW I was a T-Mobile customer for 12 years prior to switching to Verizon in which I had Verizon for 3 years and NOT ONE ISSUE with them.

T-Mobile has horrible billing practices. After being with T-Mobile for 15 years I switched to Spectrum mobile because my bill went from $80 a month to $14. Spectrum was great during the switch. T-Mobile prorated my plan when I switched my phone number for that day but also charged me another 1/2 month rate the next day when I called them to cancel my plan. They said because I switched my phone number the night before that was a prorate charge and then the next day when I called I got another prorate charge, so I paid a whole month for only 1/2 month service. BEWARE. DO NOT USE T-MOBILE. GO WITH SPECTRUM MOBILE. IT IS CHEAPER.

My personal WAR against T-Mobile starts NOW - I am herewith declaring that I’ll use extra energies and my already little available time to write to them and everywhere I can HOW AWFUL of a company they are - in the hope of making them lose even an extra potential customer!!! So long story short (to clarify) since July I am repeatedly calling the customer service to ask about the charges - asked MULTIPLE times about breaking down for me point by point my bill etc etc. No one - NO ONE of the more than 20 times I called in ever told me I had an extra line and device (phone!!) added. So I am paying for this person’s phone and bill since March and I found out last week only after I have been in person to a shop. They told me they would file a FRAUD report (none of them ever notified me about this extra line!!) and by today I should know how much money they stole from me and when I will be reimbursed.
Only to - TODAY - find out that I am the one who must go to the police/file a report/fax it back to them and then wait - AGAIN - and see how much money I get back. So I requested a email with everything written down (number of the line attached - when that happened etc) and they say they do not give this infos because it is private internal information. Really??? So I have - after I lost HOURS - DAYS - for their incompetence - to go into their app (which they won’t let me open unless I put my bank card infos in/ NOT doing it you thieves!!!) PRINT myself the statement (I don’t have the printer so extra time lost to go to print somewhere!!) go to the police and lose half a day to file a police report for this ** THEN go and find another place to fax it back to them.
AND the operator (I’m sorry lady but not sorry... you work for the company and you get my rage now and swallow it too!! I hope your supervisors get to hear the recording and that you use it in all your freaking trainings!!!) had the nerve to tell me to calm down “I understand your frustration” - Get that accondiscendent attitude and shovel it up your **!!! I am furious and if any of you knows of any lawsuit against T-Mobile please let me know. I’d love to add my name to it!!!

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

I later found out that other T-Mobile users were affected with the same problem (they lost all saved voice messages). Instead of acknowledging the problem T-Mobile decided to cover-up the issue and claim there is nothing they know of the issue and nothing they could do to recover the voicemails.

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

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

We went into the store today to see if we could just do it all over again since UPS sent the other phone back to them and We was still not able to upgrade his phone as apparently they have not received the other one back yet. Even tho we showed them where UPS sent it back.

I have had two different accounts with T-Mobile on two different occasions. Both times there were issues. First we were told yes we would have service in our area. The service was very spotty. The coverage area was inaccurate.

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

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

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

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

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

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

I made an phone order to get the promotion for buy one iPhone and get the 2nd one $700 on 9/27/2018. I completed the order; however, one of my phones was back order, so I was told that I would have to wait for a few days to get my phone. I called almost every day for a week. Then, I called after a week, then came to find out they canceled my order. I was shocked. I waited for a week for the phone, and they told me my order was canceled. I asked them why, they said because my credit card was declined. I did received an alert from my CC company to verify if I approve for the order. I approved on my end but didn't know my transaction was declined because T-Mobile never notify me.
When I completed the call, I thought all I was waiting was for the phone. Well, when I found out they canceled my order, the promotion was finished (it ended on 9/27). You would think they would honor my order since nobody notify me and it wasn't my fault that the transaction was declined. After I talked to a few agents, they were very nice, they kept telling me that since the promotion was over, there was nothing they could do. Nobody could give me credit for $700 on the acct?

Went to T-Mobile store to add a second line. Was offer two free tablets for myself and a family member.Offer sound it too good to be true. I had to ask three times to make sure that there wasn't going to be any charges. The representative assured me they were free no charges for the tablets. I fell for it. He installed the Sims cards and started to type on his store computer. When everything was finish he tells me, "Ok that will be $115 + tax."
The next day I found on my account $30.00 + $30.00 charge for each tablet totaling $60.00 a month installments without my knowledge. I thought the $115 + tax was just for the new phone as an second line phone charges. He did NOT mention to me what was the real deal... According to the real deal was $84.00 + tax for two lines as promised a month.Shocking to see a $157.+ tax on my bill without my knowledge and agreement. I told them I wanted to return the two tablets because that was not the agreement.
They told me I had to pay $50.00 per each tablet restocking fees $100.00. I refused, I was told to call customer care that is was possible they might waive the restocking fees. Customer care said to call back to the store that is their decision if wanted to waive the restocking fees, their decision was NOT. Both tablets total price that I noticed is $144.00 couple of days I've noticed $96.00 + $96.00 for each tablet. Back in 2017 a similar situation accrued with an pocket socket for phone when I wanted to pay cash and when I did without my knowledge turned out to be the down payment, to this day am still making payments on this pocket socket.

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

I work as an independent contractor in tech support and customer service for a high end spa company. I have been a loyal T-Mobile customer for 4 years and have been referred T-Mobile to many others. 4 days ago I received my new Galaxy S9. Today a client fell and knocked my phone on to a concrete surface cracking the back of my phone in a spiderweb pattern. When I called about the insurance they wanted a $99 deductible to replace it and would not cover my $1000 4 day old phone under warranty. I even offered to pay for the shipping.
Lesson learned! T-Mobile does not warranty $1000 phones that are 4 days old and requires a $99 deductible after paying $1000 4 days prior. I will not refer anyone else and am now thinking about switching to Xfinity mobile. I use my phone for business. My years of loyalty and $1000s spent means nothing to this company! Now off to the BBB for the legalities... Thanks a bunch for taking advantage of a sole proprietor and a fluke accident.

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

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

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

Instead of them refunding us for a month, they made up a debt of 2.5 times our monthly bill and sent it to collections. My husband even talked to them twice on the phone, and both times they promised a refund, but instead they sent this made-up sum to collections, potentially damaging our credit and wasting our time, not to mention that they still owe us money.

T-Mobile is the WORST!! I am definitely switching service providers at the end of the week. GOOD RIDDANCE T-MOBILE. THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED! Also, the reps are not able to understand you or convey what they are saying clearly because most times they don't speak ENGLISH!!! Awful awful awful!!! I wish I could T-Mobile a 0 for customer service because that is what they deserve. I am going to tell everyone about my horrible experiences with them.

T-Mobile intentionally blocks incoming call if using non-T-Mobile: Based on conversation with T-Mobile store clerk, T-Mobile intentionally send incoming calls to voicemail so that you can't receive calls. My experience has been it is indeed the case. A class action lawsuit should be file against T-Mobile.

I called T-Mobile customer service department to inquire about switching providers to them. I went through the whole process and told the person what phones I wanted, so she went through quickly on the prices and I was very confused and every time I had a question she would put me on hold and then come back to continue the process without answering my question. Then finally at the end with none of my questions answered she told me she would send me emails that would answer everything in detail and when I saw the emails they had no information. They were just my order confirmations. Then when I got home from work I called again to find out the specifics about my order. I found out my order was all wrong. The phones she ordered for me were not the ones I asked for and if I wanted the other phones I would have to pay more money.
At that point I asked to speak to a manager and when he got on the line he said all he could do was apologize and that they are working on making sure this doesn't continue to happen but that this was an issue for them. The customer representatives push orders through just to meet quota and they do not tell you the truth on the phone just to get you to agree but when you receive your order it's wrong and when your bill comes it is nothing like they say. It's always more. So be careful if you are going to purchase anything from T-Mobile...
