Great phones, fast service, love their apps, low prices. Love that they offer free Mexico range because we're do close to the border, perfect for when I go to the Caribbean. The only thing I hate is when it's cloudy or rainy my internet may go out or sometimes no phone service, in rural area I experience drop calls but it's small range, and I know my phone number is being sold somewhere. I keep getting a lot of scam likely.

Been with T-Mobile for seventeen years. Rural areas had bad reception in the beginning but times have changed and after hearing friends and family complain about cell phone competitors, I doubt I'll ever change from T-Mobile. No need to fix that which is not broken.

The cost and service at T-Mobile is good, but they still need improvement in regards to blackout areas. T-Mobile is still limited in certain areas and the response from customer service is that they are adding more towers. However, we fail to see a great improvement in the last two years.

T-Mobile promises the world and delivers a handful of dirt. I would be more than 30 days in a row with absolutely NO service at all. Glad I never needed the police, fire, or ambulance. Zero response to customer complaints. We paid for service we rarely even got. Dropped calls? Too many to mention. Went to AT&T where coverage and reception were better, but dishonesty in their billing and business practices left us searching for another company. Now with Verizon. Extremely expensive.

T-Mobile has been our carrier for about eight years. There are always hidden fees and charges that aren't clear. Usually when you mention this to T-Mobile they waive the charges. The problem is by then they have already charged you inaccurately for months maybe even years. Nevertheless, I like the 'Jump' option and no contract plans offered. All of the customer service reps are friendly and helpful.

T-Mobile has an okay coverage but lousy customer service. I never got our upgraded phones as they dropped the program without warning. Cost seems to go up a dollar per month. I am very naggy about bill payment, never been late in 14 years, but still get a few bill due emails and texts every month. Tried using our free gig of usage, but they claimed we nearly used it all when I only looked at one web page. Now pay for 3 gigs, use it way more, but only 0.5 used? We were ripped off.

This is the second month (and 4th rep) when I have been lied to. I needed to move from a 6 line $120 simple choice plan to something cheaper 4 line plan (2 lines canceled). The 1st rep just suspended the 2 lines (even though insisted I wanted it canceled) and offered me a $80 for 4 lines plan and confirmed it was scheduled for next billing cycle. Fast forward to start of next cycle, nothing changed, I called T-Mobile again. This time I was told there is no plan like that and they couldn't do that and that there’s no way the rep promised that.
I requested them to go through my recorded call to confirm I wasn’t making stuff up. They got back after a couple weeks saying they went through the call and it wasn’t promised, straight lie and they cannot even review the call with the customer. He then offered me a $100 for 4 lines and said it would apply next cycle and applied a $20 compensation. And it happened again start of this billing cycle, I spoke to the supervisor too and she said there’s no way they can do it, there’s no such plan. All they could escalate the issue was their personal guarantee that a complaint was made and it would be investigated. No reference number or further details. Horrible service, planning to switch very soon.

On 3-1-18 I called T-Mobile and asked them about a plan they had online about the 50% off Galaxy S9s sale, they explained to me what it was about and told me I qualified for the deal. After about an hour on the phone and getting everything set up the saleswoman told me the same thing 4 times that it was 50% off and no money down, so I said, "Let's do it." She also explained to me that it would take 1 billing cycle to reflect changes on my account, well after checking this last bill, nothing has changed and now I'm told I didn't qualify for the 50% off when I was clearly told I did, and T-Mobile records every call.
There is proof of this and they still will not correct the issue. Supervisors promise to call back, John Legere the CEO tells you to email him and he doesn't respond, he has someone that is extremely rude and ignorant call you and gets off the phone as fast as he can without solving any issues and says, "If you don't like T-Mobile go somewhere else." I have been with T-Mobile for almost 3 years and bills always paid. They continue to lie to their customers to sucker us in and then pull the rug out from underneath us.

Even though I don't have cell coverage everywhere I camp or even traveling over the mountain, I will stay with T-Mobile for one reason alone. One main reason that is. International service. I was not even aware until I traveled to Italy how amazing my options were to change my plan for a month and have the ability to use my phone for nav or whatever, everything really and not incur any additional charges beyond the monthly charge.
My husband has AT&T and whatever he paid for ran out in a day and he could not use his phone without huge usage fees the rest of the trip. Again when we traveled to Mexico and Canada, what a breeze, data and texting unlimited. The customer service is great too. For over 10 years now, anytime I have had to go in for anything, I am always offered the newest and better plan for the same cost or even less than currently paying. This is a big deal for me since cell companies and banks alike are notorious for giving handouts like new phones or zero interest etc to new clients while not doing anything to hold onto existing clients.

When we switched to T-Mobile in one of their local stores, the rep told us there would be no problem using our current phones. One phone was fine, yet another could not receive or make calls, despite texting and data features working fine. After speaking with customer service, twice in store, 3 times by phone, after changing sim cards, being told the same thing over and over (that towers in our area didn't work well) and after explaining that our other phone did, in fact, work, in our area, there was no solution but to upgrade our phone at our expense, in order to use T-Mobile.
(This solution was arrived at after hours of discussions with several people, through several departments - support, engineering, accounts, etc, each time with us needing to provide the same details over and over!) Needless to say, we are now switching back to the network we had previously, on which there was no problem with the phone. Amazing that a company was able to lose me so quickly and with such ease on its part.

I rarely leave reviews, but for T-Mobile, I am going out of my way to do so. I switched from AT&T last year because they charged me FIVE TIMES for a phone upgrade online because of website issues then took a week to refund my money. That day, I called T-Mobile because I was sick of dealing with AT&T's garbage customer service. Switching to T-Mobile was easy. But they make it easy to make the sale, at least that's what I thought. But every time I have had to call customer service, the representative was easy to understand, there was practically no wait and whatever I needed to have done was done fast. The only automation you have to go through before talking to a human is entering your pin #, but even that you can skip.
The only reason I'm giving them 4 stars instead of a full 5 is the service isn't the most wide-reaching. Near cities and most towns, it's great. But living in Oklahoma and Arkansas and passing through a lot of rural areas, I tend to lose service between the small towns. Overall, I would definitely recommend T-Mobile. They are the one company I have used that doesn't seem to be trying to screw over customers. They seem to try to make their customers happy, even after they have made the sale. For me, it's definitely worth giving up a little bit of coverage to get the great customer service they provide.

Today the screen cracked on the new red iPhone 8 and they tell me the deductible is $175. They told me it would be $50 when I bought it. Now get this I, myself have had an iPhone 8 plus through T-Mobile, again I have been paying for the insurance since the beginning.

With all of the cellular service companies currently available, and more companies emerging, the cost of cellular plans are a little less today. I can understand that presenting a plan with lower costs attracts new customers. However, there is no consideration for consumers that have remained with a company for a long time. T-Mobile, specifically, has an offer of 4 lines for 100 dollars with unlimited voice, text, and data. I have been a customer for about 10 years and still pay about 70 dollars for the same services. Companies need to reward their customers who stay with them by offering lower costs. This might keep customers from hopping from company to company for better pricing.

I am with T-Mobile for several years (about 8 years). I call customer service for questions, and some technical issues as necessary. It's not often that I call.

They used to be top notch, now they complain and threaten if you're a week late on payment. Price are high and customer service is low, especially the snot nosed, ** drawers they get handling their services. Definitely not happy with them. TM is soon to be an account less, minus 5 lines, see ya TM, you suck.

I switched from another carrier to T-Mobile several months ago. Had no reception in my townhouse. Now, I have a T-Mobile booster and good reception anywhere in the house. I like the unlimited data part of the plan, even if they slow me down some towards the end of the billing cycle. Wish the other carrier had a similar plan. This other carrier has a large data plan, but it costs more than T-Mobile.

T-Mobile the last two months have been terrible. My wife and I cannot even speak to each other. Reception cuts in and out. We miss parts of conversation to each other. If I walk into my kitchen I cannot hear anything on any conversation. It was not always like this. I made two complaints and had to call them for a solution. Their solution was to buy a new phone to handle more bandwidth. I have a Apple 5s and they said I should get the Apple 8. I cannot afford that nor do I need it. I am now leaving T-Mobile. There is no compensation for crappy reception. I will pay my last bill and they basically say tough luck about conversations missed. This really sucks especially when you are trying to close on a new house. Thanks for nothing T-Mobile. Best thing about them is no contract.

I recently picked up a couple LG4 phones on a new contract. I had been a T-Mobile customer for some time. BOGO deal on the new phones. Long story short... I was just notified, by text, of my monthly auto pay today and it was about $6 more than what I had agreed to when I purchased the phone(s). Of course when I called to complain I was told I was mistaken and their math was correct? I checked my receipts and of course, nothing on there regarding the monthly plan agreement I thought I had signed up for? Beware when dealing with T-Mobile and make sure you get the monthly payment agreement in writing. I am baffled that they just decide not to give a receipt for anyone that signs a new agreement! This must be illegal? BTW... same phone at Sprint for 50% less. :)

A mobile hotspot device was purchased by a friend for us to use while my girlfriend fought cancer and a stroke and spent almost 2 months in the hospital. After she got out of the hospital, the device was not in use. The cancer came back and I decided to reactivate the hotspot for her to use while again in the hospital. I had to go into a T-Mobile store to do this.
This is where the experience started poorly. The sales guy was confusing and made what I wanted to do sound very complicated since I myself wasn't a T-Mobile user (and never will be). I told him I needed a hotspot connection for at the most, one month. Every was set up that day and I paid $51.50 I thought that paid for one month. I was told after the month was up, the service would continue for another month and my credit card would be charged. After 2 weeks in the hospital, my girlfriend was good to leave. I decided to use the hotspot in my car while at work which was nice for about 2 weeks when it stopped working. Being busy with work as well as at home with a loved one that had a stroke and has cancer, I kind of forgot about the hotspot.
Honestly, I figured they were still charging me monthly for a device I wasn't using. I knew or thought anyway that it was on me to cancel and I would when I could. I would have rather I had been charged monthly than what happened. I get a letter in the mail from a collection agency stating I owe $37 or so for I guess activation fee. WTF?! I thought that was paid the day I got the thing activated. I basically now paid at least $87 for 1 month of not great internet service. There were days in the hospital where we had no service at all. Did I complain? No. But then to get a letter that basically threatens me with bad credit etc is ridiculous. Did they help me at the store. Kind of.
I gladly paid the 37 dollars to be done with T-Mobile but when I asked for a refund or some money back I was told they can't do that because I am not a T-Mobile customer. Well morons I was a T-Mobile customer the day I came in to activate the hot spot. First I was told I could talk to the manager but after some whispering the girl came back to tell me there was nothing I could do but that the guy who sold me this was 10 minutes away. Ok... really!? How unprofessional can you be... It was obvious the manager didn't want to deal with me and I was not in the mood to get into a heated argument which I felt like this employee was setting up to happen. I should also mention the phone number this employee took down is not accurate at all.
I am just noticing this now but the number isn't even close to correct and is not the number I provided. This explains why I was never contacted by phone, because of T-Mobile incompetence. I am highly disappointed in the reaction to my issue by the staff. I never write negative reviews but T-Mobile has made a very negative impression on me. I will never use them again for anything. Original liar sales rep **... The one who provided no real solution other than me paying and telling me to wait for original rep **. I do not see an order number on my receipts, there's a trans #** from original and a trans #** from today. Reference number is below in order number box.

I was on my son's cell phone plan, and paid him for this 3rd line every month. He switched over to T-Mobile and put me on as the 3rd person on the plan as well. I live in a small town and couldn't even send a text message from my garage, and rarely could connect to the web unless near my computer, so after 10 days of horrible connections I had him cancel my cell phone from his plan (I went back to Verizon and am now on my own plan). My son was told when he called T-mobile to cancel that he'd have to pay the full month's charge of $50 for the 10 days in which I used the cell plan and also another $50 for the month of June. So, that's $100 for 10 days of poor connection with T-Mobile! Outrageous!
The representative also told him he should give my phone (I own my iPhone 6) to someone else to use through the month of June because he had to pay for it anyway. This is unacceptable in my opinion and poor customer service for T-Mobile. I did call T-Mobile to ask about the 2 month charge, and the person I spoke with was unable to explain the charges without personally speaking with my son (account holder).

I bought a new S9 phone on March 20th. They sent me a shipping label to send my old phone back in the mail. I sent in my old S8 phone on March 27th. Today is May 20th and they still have not received my phone. I talked to 2 representatives since and both put in a investigation at the warehouse to search for my phone. They told me how valuable I was as a customer and don't want me to pay for a phone I have already returned. So after 3 days both times an email comes back saying sorry we could not find your phone. Once they receive it they will give me credit. Well on April 16th They tacked on the old phone price. Not the price of it used either. They charged me over $900 and tacked it onto my bill.
I have a family so my bill now was $1400 or they would shut off all our phones. They supplied the shipping address and I seen way too many people complaining like me. Either they had bad shipping and receiving there or their workers are stealing these phone. My old phone was in mint condition. I just traded it in to get the S9 which had more to the phone. Im afraid someone at the warehouse might of seen my mint phone and took it. There is no way to prove it and no way to prove my phone ever got there and they know it. Im writing you hoping some heat is placed on them so other people dont get scammed by them. So in reality I paid my phone 75% off and then bought a new phone where Im paying on the whole bill and returned a phone that I paid 75% off and they charged me 100% of it for them not finding it. They scammed me out of 75% of the value. I at least want my 75% in value that I paid on back.

Signed up for service with this company but was totally disappointed with the results of their sales talk.

Then, we ran into all sorts of problems with their service and billing process. We were totally disgusted as it showed the left hand didn't know what the right hand is doing when you call for help.
So, we decided calling them back in March 2018 to cancel our service. We were told not to worry about returning the tablet and that it's ours to keep. Then, suddenly this month we started receiving bills from T-Mobile again telling us that since we canceled our service, we still have to pay now the balance for the tablet.

I joined T-Mobile with my friends and family here in New York. Apart from some bad reception and some glitches here and there I didn't really have any complaints. I was only paying $40 and for that I was happy... Until I wasn't. A friend who was the owner of the account moved to London, so I wanted to take the ownership of the account. Well here is where it all began. We needed to call at least 6 times before they said they are moving me ahead as the owner of the account - but that was not the case. I just had a separate account now and my own plan now with a bill of 75%. We called at least 15 times to try to resolve this but in the end I was just put back into the old family plan with my friend being the owner again - right where we started.
So much energy lost... But when you think everything was just back as we started, they charged me a bunch of fees for their incompetence (because they detached the number and then put it back into the family plan). I am really disappointed in the customer care and how energy all of this needed... And still not get resolved. The family plan is cheap, no doubt about that, but their customer care is really bad. I don't usually write reviews, but this time I just got so annoyed by their incompetence and additional fees for their mistakes. I am changing to AT&T or Verizon, where they actually resolve issues.

My name is Rafael **. I've been a T-Mobile customer for about two years and after giving T-Mobile every reasonable opportunity to keep me as a customer I have had enough. On May 5th, 2018 at 7:30 pm I called T-Mobile Customer Support because since October 2017 I have had several issues receiving and placing calls. A massive volume of dropped calls when the communication gets through, and even more problematic the fact that co-workers, relatives and customers calling my wireless number were being taken straight to voice mail; my phone wouldn't even ring as if the incoming calls were never made in the first place.
Such terrible service morphed into a chain of problems as you can certainly imagine; co-workers not being able to get in touch with me for work related matters, customers being unable to get a hold of me when they needed it the most, family worried at times because they can't get me to answer the phone just because T-Mobile coverage is increasingly spotty, irritating and getting worst.
I ordered a Signal Booster by phone so that I can get better coverage at my home (at least). T-Mobile Support shipped the booster after arrangements but being T-Mobile, they shipped it to the wrong address. I received a call from T-Mobile support to "help me set up a device" that I hadn't received. The representative noted that the device had been sent to the wrong address, apologized and "corrected" the problem by rearranging another device to be sent to the correct address (my current address). That very same day, little after finishing our phone conversation, UPS showed up at my door and delivered the first ordered Booster (the one that had been wrongfully sent to the wrong address). Two days after, I received a second booster since the Support Specialist that assisted me had placed an order for a second device to be shipped to the correct address.
Next day, I called T-Mobile to let them know that they ended up (due to their issues with the address information) delivering two devices at my home and that I wanted to return the additional one. I was assisted over the phone and received an email with a prepaid UPS mailing label. When one thinks that it can’t get any worst, T-Mobile somehow finds a way to surprise you.
Today, May 13th 2018, I attempted to deliver T-Mobile’s additional booster; the one that should have never arrived if it wasn’t because T-Mobile couldn’t get the order sent to the right address in the first place but that somehow showed up sometime after ending my phone conversation with their support. Short before 4:00 pm I walked into the T-Mobile store located at 14834 Pines Blvd, Pembroke Pines, FL, 33028. I was greeted and attended after waiting in line like every other customer. I mentioned that I wanted to return a Signal Booster. Since I had never seen what was inside that second box, I asked the employee to open the box and verify that it contained the unopen/unused Signal Booster before sending it back.
The box was opened there for the first time and everything was in order. I wasn’t even asked for my T-Mobile account, instead I was asked to forward them the email I received from T-Mobile - “Important Instructions for returning your CellSpot device to T-Mobile”. At that point I thought they were going to work off of the information included in that email. To my surprise, they printed out the label, slapped it onto the Signal Booster box and told me to go drop it off at a UPS store.
It is unclear to me how a store Manager cannot understand T-Mobile’s own guidelines for a return. Since the email clearly reads as follow; and I quote: "Returning your CellSpot device should be easy, so here are two great options to choose from: Drop the device off at a UPS drop location. Make sure it is securely packaged using the instructions below, and includes the prepaid UPS mailing label provided in the attachment. OR Go to a T‑Mobile® owned or Authorized Dealer Store to return the coverage device. Please remember to return your CellSpot device within the next 30 days so you don't get charged a nonreturn fee of $138.00."
I’m under no obligation to take the device to a UPS store when the instructions clearly state that I can either take it to UPS “OR” go to a T‑Mobile owned or Authorized Dealer Store to return the coverage device. If the instructions hadn’t mentioned two great options to choose from, I wouldn’t have attempted to deliver it to a store in the first place. Well, the T-Mobile store manager instructed an employee to put the UPS label on the box and have me deliver it at a UPS location, even though I was at a T-Mobile Store already, as if I couldn’t have done that myself at home. How they concluded that my reason for visiting the store was to print a shipping label and then drive 10 miles to a UPS store to ship it out, that’s beyond my comprehension.
I walked out of the store to the parking spaces and call T-Mobile Customer Support from there. I asked to talk to a supervisor but the support representative on the phone kindly “persuaded” me into having her assist me because she was the person in a position to do so – obviously a kind way to prevent you from talking to a supervisor. I explained the situation and asked about the options available to return the Signal Booster. The Customer Support representative was concise in her response: Drop the device off at a UPS drop location. Make sure it is securely packaged using the instructions emailed to me, and include the prepaid UPS mailing label provided in the email I received. OR Go to a T‑Mobile owned or Authorized Dealer Store to return the coverage device.
Because I was standing right outside the store, I asked her if she could explain this to the store manager and she kindly agreed. I went back into the store and requested to talk to a manager but I had to wait because all managers were busy at the time. Since the Support Representative had been with me on the phone for half hour, she asked if I knew the store address or their phone number to call them directly. I provided this information and she called in.
Exactly after 38 minutes, she came back to me on the phone and I could hear in her voice that she was heartbroken. She didn’t know how to tell me what she was about to say: “I called the store and I spoke with **. ** can see you are sitting there waiting for a manager but you need to take your package to a UPS location”. I felt bad for her and even worst for myself. T-Mobile’s stores (at least the one I was in) cannot follow T-Mobile’s own guidelines – those provided in written to their own customers. I left the store at about 5:30 pm convinced that I have tried, in good faith, to return the equipment as stated in T-Mobile’s guidelines, by following one of the options provided to me in writing by email. I Twitted to @TMobile and TMobileHelp trying to bring some attention into this matter, giving T-Mobile thirty days to come pick up the device at my doorsteps else I will have it disposed.
It seems that T-Mobile is unable to come pick up their device at my place and I strongly refuse to attempt to drop it off anywhere once again after having wasted two hours of my Saturday to no avail, as if they owned me, my time and my money, just because T-Mobile’s employees are incapable of following their own business guidelines and instructions. T-Mobile’s attempt to put the burden on its customer is something that I will no longer tolerate. It has caused me to lose work opportunities, missing in the process important customers’ calls and it expects me to drop off their equipment multiple times when they can’t even come to my door for a pick up once.
On June 12th, exactly 30 days from now, I will dispose the device if it isn’t picked up at my location by T-Mobile. T-Mobile and its Customer Support has all the necessary information to call me for pickup arrangements. I truly hope they don’t also make the mistake of charging my account with late fees for not showing up at my home to pick up a device that should have never made it to my house if they had done one out of ten things right, especially after my attempt to deliver it at their store per their instructions and their refusal to take it in.

Twice we submitted the information required for the rebate. Each time we were assured that it is being processed. Today, for the second time, I visited our local T-Mobile store. After approximately an hour of trying to find the reason for the delay, the T-Mobile agent contacted the Reimbursement Department so I could speak to them. First, the agent on the phone informed me that I did not file for a rebate within the 30 day requirement period. I told him that was untrue and, that in fact, I filed twice; the second time an agent at the store filed for me. Then he informed me that I would not be getting the rebate because my I6 and I6+ were not eligible for a rebate. I said we owed nothing on those two phones and was only asking for the rebate for the I7 phone as I was promised.
He stated that because the two phones were not eligible then the I7 was also not eligible as they lump the three together. I asked why no one at the store or at the reimbursement center informed me of this. He said he was sorry but that is the way it is. I asked to speak to his supervisor who told me the same thing. I felt that I have been scammed. Am certain this has also happened to other T-Mobile customers who must be just as angry as I am. This is a bait and switch tactic that should not be used to lure customers to obtain their service and then rescind the promised rebate.

We switched part of our business phones to T-Mobile about 2 years ago to see if they were going to be as good as advertised. Worst mistake we ever made! Worst company I have dealt with in my 40 years of business. We used three phones to start with and an unlimited plan was given. Then they said we qualified for up to 41 free Tablets due to our account. So we told them we would only need four.
From the very first billing, it was wrong. Then on the second billing, it showed we were paying for the "free" tablets. My wife had to go into the store EVERY month so they would remove the charges for the tablets. EVERY MONTH because they tried and tried to remove them but they could not get the corporation to remove them. Finally, after a year and a half of this nonsense, we paid off the phones, returned the Cell Spot we had to have to even get service in our own home! And went with another carrier.
That was Nov. 26th, 2017. We are still having to deal with these morons because now they say we have a bill not paid but will not send us an itemized statement, just a large amount. They even said we owed for the Cell Spot we returned, even though the T-Mobile Store and telephone support said it showed we returned it and they received it. We have documents do this fact. Now they have turned us over to a collection agency. We explained to them the situation and they were going to mail us an itemized statement... They sent just a bill without being itemized. So, our next step is to take legal action against them I suppose.
This is the worst, by far, of any company I have ever dealt with. We have tried several time a month for two years now to get them to communicate between themselves to get this resolved. I swear, I think this is the dumbest run company ever. Now they are going to merge with Sprint?! I hope Sprint is the winner in the merge or there will be only two cell companies to use safely, Verizon and AT&T.

Purchased brand new phone from T-Mobile. Galaxy S9. It's defective. No one can hear me during calls. However, T-Mobile will not replace it. I can buy a new one and they may credit the money back or I can go 2-3 weeks without a phone. Customer Service will tell you, "You can get a loaner phone from the store," but the store tells us they don't have a loaner program. So we are screwed.

We had horrible cell service with T-Mobile. I couldn't even get service in my office which is right in town. Dropped calls constantly. We decided to go back to Verizon and are trying to keep our current phones. I went into T-Mobile and asked to have my phones unlocked. The guys said they were already unlocked. When we went to Verizon the phones were not unlocked. Went back to T-Mobile store and they said we had to pay 800.00 for the phones which we did, but T-Mobile still will not unlock our phones. They keep telling us it's going to take 24-72 hours to unlock them AND we have to pay another 50+ dollars for some unknown reason. Now we are waiting for an email that is supposed to give us a code to unlock them. NO EMAIL YET! Judging from the other reviews, this is common practice for T-Mobile. I will tell everyone and anyone to stay away from T-Mobile!

I was prorated when I came on board and thru years of their bad "automated" billing system excuses - it has been at the expense of my pocketbook very literally; 13 yrs with them and they wouldn't even give me a break, not even a decent send-off. Making me pay til their next billing cycle with no prorate. I talked to Tawnie by phone and then had another question after the fact so I did a CHAT and gotten Sarah... who confirmed on her own she just talked to Tawnie - I didn't say anything different or made any reference to Tawnie - why was I checked? They acted like a victim and I was creating a crime. It was bad customer service which left me feeling tag-teamed with insinuations of other intentions, and again no loyalty or respect.
It's all about a machine. They can't make any exceptions for any person to make adjustments to the account unless they want to for them - because "it's not personal," that it could be even manually fixed for the situation, not even by a manager. I have to; I'm forced to, to pay until they tell me to exactly when before I can leave... why do I not have this option as a customer on a day that "I" want to leave? They want their full monthly bill, and it doesn't matter if I "port-out" or not port-out. How can they FORCE me to keep an account open like this until they say so, cause of a software that won't allow it? No human is in control is what the excuse is; equals no choice for the customers.
It also goes in my history with them; them trying to turn my line off and charging me a contract fee cancellation of $400 which I never tried to cancel and I paid immediately and yet they still didn't want to turn my phone on and in order to do so, they said would have to charge me $10 a month for 2 yrs to allow me back into the system which they denied doing but did; because they added the charge name to it as a device charge and denied ever doing this to me. This is true fraud and I tolerated and was too scared to leave in fear they would do worse to my account for this long, and they have. Still charging me to the end.

My friend has Multiple Sclerosis and is basically mentally incompetent although highly functional. T-Mobile sold him an LG Aristo 2 smartphone with their most expensive plan. My friend doesn't know how to use a smartphone. In fact in the 20 years or so he owned a flip phone (which he recently lost, leading to him visiting T-Mobile). He never could learn how to turn it on or off, so it was perpetually on. Well he lost his receipt for the new smartphone or threw it away so although the phone was one day old and in perfect condition a return was out of the question.
I feel that T-Mobile took advantage of him and that money is the only motivational force they understand. The only consolidation received from this situation is that I told the T-Mobile manager what I thought of T-Mobile and that isn't quite satisfactory. Nor is complaining about a company that flourishes despite all the terrible reviews written about them. I hope Karma isn't just a concept. In closing I would just like to say that if you have a baby and that baby has some candy and T-Mobile is anywhere near you better keep an eye on that candy. You don't want it stolen do you?

We are in our seventies and changed providers from AT&T Mobility to T-Mobile to save on our monthly outlay, with their senior plan. If you live in an area where T-Mobile's cellular reception is good, and you don't do any traveling, then T-Mobile is a good deal. However, if you do any traveling and your travels take you outside metropolitan areas, in our opinion, you should not consider this purveyor. T-Mobile shows their coverage area of the US, in pink and it covers most of the US. One might take that to mean GREAT COVERAGE but don't be fooled! You will get service, a half a bar or less, however the majority of the time, the only benefit you will have is texting. If you are able to call, you must be outside and the connection will be sporadic at best. We personally have experience poor service in both Utah and Colorado. So, we are going back to AT&T Mobility where never had these issues. Hope this helps your decision making...

I just want to warn people that when we found out how horrible T-Mobile’s coverage was, we had to switch carriers, and T-Mobile’s phones (ours were Samsung Galaxy S8s, but there is apparently a chip in them) weren’t compatible with our new carrier, so it cost us a fortune. T-Mobile’s coverage is AWFUL. We were with them for about 6 months. We live in a heavily populated area. My husband is a truck driver. We bought brand new Samsung phones from T-Mobile so our problems couldn’t be blamed on the phones. We had COUNTLESS calls dropped. Important calls, from doctors, from all of our friends and family. And my husband on the road? He would be staring right at a cell tower and couldn’t make a call. Their coverage is nowhere near as good as they claim it to be.
I would be sitting in a room in our house and a call would start breaking up. I would move to another room and the breaking up would stop. However, after a few moments, back to breaking up again. SO frustrating! I called T-Mobile and they said “Let me refresh the network.” That didn’t work. Nothing worked. I do want to say that the customer service representatives were great. They give great customer service. It’s the product that is defective, not the customer service. No amount of customer service can make up for the amount of troubles that we went through with T-Mobile. It cost us a fortune to pay off the phones we bought on a payment plan with T-Mobile. Since those phones weren’t compatible with our new carrier, we had to eat that money. It was a very expensive lesson. I hope someone can benefit from our experience without having to go through it themselves.

I had been a T-Mobile customer for 10+ years and for as long as I can remember have received all notices and bills digitally. I was actually encouraged to do this to save money and go green. My bills were paid with no outstanding issues. About 6 months ago we decided to switch to MetroPCS for their family plan and our phone option needs. It seemed pretty straightforward -- port the number, clear any outstanding bills, and move forward with life. Fast forward 6 months and my credit rating has dropped significantly from one month to the next and as I dig through this discover that T-mobile has sent something to collections. I have no idea what this is as I never received any notice that anything was due!!!
First I try to access the old account online. No luck. Locked out with a customer service number to call. So next I got to spend lots of time with customer service who could not give me any indication of the bill, send me a copy of it, or otherwise explain what was happening. I will give some praise to the supervisor of the call center who apologized profusely for not being able to help me and herself confused about how this happened and why this had progressed to this stage without notice. But her "hands were tied". Made me go to the store with my ID to have them figure it out. They were confused why I needed to be there. They then have to call the customer service themselves explaining to me that they really do not handle this stuff.
They give me the "bill" that has a summary charge of $116.54 with no detail what the amount represents or how the got to that sum. It is literally just a total with no explanation. They then hand me some other number to call without indicating who I was calling (just said this is who you have to call). So I call that number to be told that I now have to call a lawyer's office to clear up the matter. The person on this call was abrupt, rude, and unwilling to give me any additional information about what was happening. Are you kidding me? All this for a relatively small bill that I have never seen? This after 10+ years of being a customer and paying all bills?
Now I deal with the lawyer's office -- the first entity that can actually send me the bill in question. The bill was for $54 for the month after the account was closed. She explained in the fine print of the terms and agreement, I was NOT to get my bill electronically anymore and that is why I was not notified the same way for this bill as I had been all the years before. So even though I paid what I thought was due at the time of porting and tried to clear all remaining items, this original bill for $54 now became $ 116.54. What were the other charges? I don't know because I still have not seen the bill.
This entire drama wasted the time of an entire string of people all because they could not electronically send me the final bill as they had been for years? The cost of "collecting" this fees is orders greater than a single text alert or final bill reminder ever could!! From my perspective the practices are unfair and the impact to a person too high for this to be a responsible way of doing business. Beware when you port your number from T-Mobile!

Worst thing is, since I'm no longer the main account holder, and the position of main account holder is technically "transferred", I cannot get access to the old account at all!

I called T-Mobile customer service, went to their stores, did everything they asked, what else do they want!!! I'm stuck with T-Mobile because the main account holder of my current plan, for some reason, still hasn't released me for half a year, and I already used my number on many important document such as my resume, portfolio, bank, utilities, etc. That would be a huge pain to just get a whole new number!

And I still pay every month on time, because I'm a person that hates to be late on any bill. Then, a year later they told me they were sorry and they will reduce my payment to the original amount. They only did it for one month and went back to overcharge me.
In December of 2017, they offered me a promotion they had in because I was NEVER late in my payments in all the years I was with them, I accepted and got a buy one get one free iPhone 8 to give it to my son for Christmas. After I gave it to my son as a present, I called to activate the phone and T-mobile told me they were not going to honor that offer because someone made a mistake and I if I kept the phones I was going to pay $750.00. I had no choice, but to tell my son I had to take the phones back. After that, I finally decided to cancel my account and change to a different company.
Well, T-mobile has managed to make the transition another nightmare. Instead of just transferring my phones and sending my final bill. T-mobile refused to unlock my daughter's phone (which was not their phone because I had paid cash for it), and they refused to tell my daughter what to do to be able to use it with the other company. My daughter is in Hawaii in college and was without a phone for more than a week because of T-mobile's refusal to unlock the phone.
I called T-mobile MULTIPLE TIMES, to ask why they had locked the phone if I did not owe anything on it. I also asked them to tell me if I had to pay the last bill I will pay it. They kept telling me, I did not have to pay, but at the same time, they kept sending emails stating that, they will not unlock the phone unless I paid what I owed.
I finally called for the 30th time desperate because I could not communicate with my daughter and they finally took my payment and my daughter got the email with instructions to use her phone. I begged them to check to make sure they had my correct address, to make sure I received my final bill to pay it and send it to the new company. They assured me they had my correct address.
All this happened in January and February, and here we are in APRIL and I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED my final bill. I've called several times to let them know I'm still waiting for that bill. I know they have my correct address because I am receiving their harassing letters of nonpayment threatening to send me to collections for not paying and yet, they still have not sent me my final bill. So, how I’m I supposed to know what my balance is, if I don’t have my final bill????
I called them twice in the last three days to ask for my final bill again and again. I called again to paid my balance and the only reason I knew what my balance was it was because I received another non-payment letter YESTERDAY showing me the amount I owe, and they have gigantic THIS IS YOUR FINAL NOTICE title, how stupid is that title when this is the first document I see what my final balance is. When I called to pay it, I ask the woman to email me a receipt and my final bill and she told me. ”I'm sorry, but I'm not going to send you a receipt or your final bill because your account is closed and I can't do anything to help you.” This is the kind of service I received from this company. I was NEVER late in one payment, and T-mobile treated me like the scum of the earth.

I had been on line and I made a 70.00 payment at mobile store. The rep on phone told me to go into store and make the payment and my phone would stay on???She lied. After 3 hours in store, 2 hours on phone and 70.00 to keep my service for a week, till following payday, they shut me off anyway on Easter, which made me lose my job. Now I will be homeless.

I have been a T-Mobile customer for a year and at this point after many attempts to resolve the issues, I'm switching providers. If you call customer service (I've called many times to resolve issues with service and data) expect a minimum 20 minute hold time. Each and every time you call, even to pay a bill a recording comes on that someone will be on the call in an estimated 20 minutes and it's often longer. There are inefficiencies with this provider from long hold times to reach customer service each and every time, to representatives who are in most cases (there are exceptions) unhelpful and the service is just not good.
I would recommend Verizon, AT&T or probably most any other service may very well provide better service. They said they are updating their towers for better service but in the meantime please T-Mobile teach your reps to not be so snarky unless that is the culture. I've used T-Mobile in the past with no issue but in the past few months there are inefficiencies with very long hold times and then often when the reps get to the line they aren't pleasant and the coverage in many areas especially for data, at least at this point is not good.

Unfortunately I was one of the people who were part of the most recent T-mobile hack where a stranger ported out my phone number, which rendered my phone unusable and then stole all of my information and drained 3 bank accounts at 2 different banks + a cash advance on my credit card. How did my phone number illegally get ported? I had to go through hoops to switch from Verizon to T-Mobile and port my phone number over when doing so. HOW did someone illegally do so one night? It took 7 hours for T-Mobile to restore my phone and only 1 hr to watch all of my money disappear before my eyes (on President's Day while all banks were closed).
T-mobile showed very little worry and told me I was the only one this has happened to (which is a lie. It's plastered on their website and in many articles once Googled). Grateful that they got my number back eventually but this has turned my entire life upside down. This happened on 2/19 and now on 3/31 I am still dealing with serious credit issues and ramifications from this. They "gave me" one month free but what is $85 when all of your rent money is stolen?? I was with Verizon for 8 yrs and despite the ridiculous monthly cost, I was always safe. I haven't even been a T-mobile customer for a full year and all of my personal information has been stolen. All of it. AND no one in Customer Service will take ownership. Please stay away from T-mobile - don't be fooled by the low monthly cost. You get what you pay for.

I just had a bad experience with this carrier that costed me money and my precious time. I just bought a prepay iPhone from a big box store that has their own cellular plan that uses T-Mobile as the carrier. It took them four days to transfer my phone number and they told me I had to call my carrier to work out the problem because they don't have permission for 3 way calling. That cost me two hours of phone calls. After we finally got that resolved then I uncovered T-Mobile is having trouble with iPhones texting Androids.
This cost me 4 phone calls, 2 work tickets and about 4 hours of my time. Their call center was reading from a script giving me a line of bull. I was able to get a CSR to admit that they have known about this issue for two months and many calls are coming in with my same complaint and they don't know what's causing it. They also admitted their managers don't keep them informed on this issue. I took my phone back and the box store associate said T-Mobile is by far their worst carrier and he would not recommend them to anyone. I wish he would of told me that when I bought the phone! Stay away from T-Mobile!

T-Mobile offered a deal a few months back where you would could get 2 lines for $45/ea., they would pay off any early termination fees and any unpaid equipment costs from your old cell phone company up to $600+/ea, and subscribe you to DirecTV. Great Deal, right?! Well, the contract I received in the mail, and what was discussed with their customer service representative on the phone, were 2 completely different things. Anyhow, 6+ months later, I still do not have a valid contract, nothing was paid for on my old cell phone company (which I am still using to this date! ), I had to have DirecTV come uninstall their service, and I have a $600+ phone bill which they are threatening to report against my credit.

My paid for LG K7 was having issues with software. Whenever I touched that "home" button a pop up would ask me to choose my default home choice either "Home" or "Quick Home" or some kind of simplified "Home" setting. So foolishly I walked into the T-mobile store at 6970 E 22nd Street Ste. 120 In Tucson Arizona 85710. I told the salesperson that I needed a "Warranty Replacement" in no uncertain terms. I also informed him that I did not want to finance another phone and considering I had been paying the insurance and their JUMP (Just Upgrade My Phone) on my paid for K7 for at least 3 years having been with T-mobile for over 8 years total.
I apparently had completely blocked out what had happened several years back which had caused me to have the K7 in the first place, but little did I know I was about to revisit T-mobile's deceptive sales practices AGAIN. After telling the guy what I wanted I also stressed the fact that I didn't want my phone bill to go up even one dollar... I thought this would deter this guy from forcing a new phone finance on me. I left that store with my K7 and a new K20 and the promise that my monthly bill was not going to increase but only for 2 dollars and these 2 devices that I wasn't even sure what they did. It wasn't until I got my bill when I saw that not only did I have 2 new lines of service but I was also stuck with these 140 dollars in devices that won't work on my year of vehicle.
And true to his word... I wasn't financing a new phone. Apparently I was now LEASING a phone from T-mobile. Within 12 hours I was on the phone with Customer Service in tears because I had been taken AGAIN by their outright lies. At first Cari in Customer Service seemed a Godsend. They assured us that we wouldn't be charged any restocking fee and that the phone could go back under their "Buyer's Remorse" plan but they insisted that I could hold on to the K20 until I got my replacement. They were going to report the store for its sales practices and they would send me my warranty replacement for my K7 ASAP. So between the time I speak with Customer Service and the time they send a new phone, the phone that I was to send back to T-mobile the K7 was stolen from my car.
Now I use my phone for work doing delivery so to be without a phone would cost me money. Tonya a T-mobile rep told me to just put the replacement phone back in the box and use the K20 until I got back my K7. So I send the K7 back to them. In the interim I tried several times to pay online their 20 dollar deductible. Finally when I did get through a computer automated voice told me that a claim had already been made and hung up. So I'm not getting anything in the mail as far as phones so I call AGAIN. This time and for the hundredth time I told them what happened. No one ever mentioned to me that I had to return the K20 within a certain amount of time. They only assured me that I could use it to work until my K7 came.
So FINALLY I'm able to pay the deductible... but what do they send me? A K20. And NO ONE can tell me where my K7 is. Also they're saying that not only am I stuck with this phone the K20 I'm also stuck with these 2 WiFi devices that won't even work on my year of vehicle. Having a cell phone is a luxury to people like me who live hand to mouth. When a company you have been paying 100 dollars a month for the past 8 years thinks it's okay to defraud you like this then its time for me to speak out about this abuse. I plan to take my complaint to the Puma County Attorney's Office as well as The BBB. I advise EVERYONE to beware of T-mobile's fraudulent sales practices.

So after it a few weeks of having it, the indestructible has 2 chinks in the glass. Now I bought the phone because I am rough on things. So when I brought this back to the same store, same salesperson to be told they will just warranty it. I was pleasantly surprised that they would do that. But when I came back to get my warrantied phone, the store manager refused to honor what the salesperson told me.
So I was told at the time they would fix it. I would just need to pay the 175.00 insurance cost to get it replaced. I refused and wanted T-Mobile to honor what they told me. So the store manager kept apologising instead of standing by their word. It really makes me mad when a corporation says "I am sorry we can't honor that," and chooses to make the customer pay for its mistake. We are only talking a few hundred dollars in insurance credit, but the store manager refused to take of the customer, me. Now I was raised when you tell a customer something you honor it. If you make a mistake, you eat it. It's called the price of doing business. I am not a new customer to T-Mobile and have had some dealings with some dealings with good customer representatives over the years.

I was continuously going into the T-Mobile store in Westlake about problems with my phone slowing down because of using too much data. Joe the manager convinced me since I do Rideshare for a living I should purchase a sync up drive for wi-fi in my vehicle to slow down my everyday data usage. It never made a difference and the price he quoted me would always be lower than I was billed for. This caused me to come back continuously to see what the problem was. I added storage for a dollar a month, just in case that might be a problem. Joe continuously strung me along telling me that the sync up drive would be cheaper because we added my business discount to my son's T-Mobile account and that would offset the price. He kept trying to convince me that it was best to keep my sync up because if I dropped it it would affect the price and discount on my son's phone account.
One day I told him that I wanted to drop the sync up but I did not want it to affect his commission for the sync up sale. He stated that he will put it in his notes that if I keep it for 2 more months he would reimburse me for it. He also stated that he will check into unlimited data for me and give me a call. 2 weeks went by and he never called. I decided that I needed unlimited data. I told my son to go to T-Mobile with me to do this but I wanted to do this because I still trusted him and thought he was looking out for my best interests. Joe hooked us up with the unlimited data but told me that the sync up which is in my name would affect this account if I dropped it. I have to pay the difference for the extra data so that is why I wanted to drop the sync up because it was not doing anything for me and I felt I was wasting money.
I received another bill after this that. Joe stated it would be $5.00 Cheaper for direct depositing my payment and it was still the same. I called him about it and he said he would look into it and call me back, which never materialized. That's when I knew I was really being taken for a ride. I went to another T-Mobile at Great Northern in North Olmsted and found out that Joe was being deceiving from the beginning. He should not have been going into my son's account because I was not an authorized user, in the first place. My son's account has nothing to do with my account. Joe has tech. ability but uses it to make sales and takes advantage of people with less knowledge. I don't appreciate that in the least bit.
I dropped the sync up and also found out that the store Joe is at is not a corporate store. All the time I was going there I thought it was. I will never step foot in there again. I advise all shoppers for their own protection to just deal with corporate run stores. The 3rd party stores are more sales hungry and will take you for a ride.

On March 1, 2018 we decided to leave T-Mobile and port out all our numbers to another carrier. The reason was a coverage issue. We have relatives in DUMAS, TX, where we have to go to the edge of town to make calls. At home in CA we needed a Cellspot to make calls at home (Calls usually drop during handover outside the house). Immediately upon the porting of our numbers I received an email requesting the return of the Cellspot repeater from T-mobile. Every month my bill was around $ 180. Suddenly I received a bill for $ 286.
Hence, on March 10, I called to inquire about the reason for this. I could not understand the first person (India?) and requested to speak to a supervisor. She (the supervisor) informed me that I still had 1 line active with T-mobile. I told her that this is impossible and to cancel that line, as it is not used by me or my family. She confirmed that she would do that retroactively and put me on hold. Instead of getting back to me, I again got an un-understandable person. I hung up and called again after the weekend on March 13. Spoke to a friendly person named Kevin. I explained again that I had no knowledge of this additional line and that I do not even know that number and do not have a sim card for this, and hence will absolutely not pay $ 100 for a service that I never received. He offered me a $15 reduction, which I refused. This is not about the money. This is about not wanting to get screwed over.

I had service with T-Mobile for almost 10 years. When I relocated I noticed that the quality of service was horrible. No signal in my home at all (had to use WiFi) and unable to use the phone outside my home until I was closer to the highway. I continued to call T-Mobile and was advised that there were towers scheduled for my area. So I stayed and dealt with it. I had 5 lines in total. After constant calls, complaints, aggravating days, booster boxes were sent that didn’t help. Almost a year later I finally decided to look into another carrier. I switched all the lines to a new service provider and with the change, I traded all the phones for new ones and the new carrier gave me credit and/or Visa gift cards with an amount that the phones were worth.
Now, two of the phones were such a huge decrease in value I was embarrassed. Here’s why. My husband upgraded to an iPhone 7plus and the phone was snatched out of his hand one day and dropped, causing the screen to shatter. T-Mobile directed me to Asurion and with a $150 deductible, he received another phone- a refurbished one. What had me upset with that transaction was the deductible was not subtracted from the amount still owed for the phone he had prior that was broken and we still had to continue to pay for that phone, which we no longer had. When switching to the new carrier, the phone wasn’t worth as much because it was refurbished and the gift card amount was $37! But T-Mobile charged me over $400 with the final bill sent to me. Plus, one of the lines they didn’t cancel. The line remained open and then went into suspension for nonpayment.
Now during this time (from September through November) I would continue to call and ask them about the final bill (why I hadn't received it) and when will I see the charges for the service that I had to pay for. Well, I was told so many stories from, the service is in non-payment status so you have to pay the past due amount, restore the service and then request a cancellation (why when I ported the numbers?). Then I was told since I was a customer who opted out of paper bills years prior, I wouldn’t get one and would have to log into my account online in order to see the bill and pay it (well I can’t do that because when the numbers were ported, the online access was terminated). Then I was told I would get a bill but it would take about 2 months because the lines had to be taken out of suspension for nonpayment, then cancelled correctly.
So the supervisor that I was speaking with at that time couldn’t do it because he was not in customer service. So he wanted me to pay for the service to have it reinstated, then transfer me to customer service so someone in that department could cancel it. "Well, Anthony (that was his name), why am I required to pay for services hag I didn’t use? I don’t understand why I should pay for service after 9/28 when my lines were ported to another carrier on 9/28. It’s not my fault that your company didn’t do their part." He continued to tell me that’s the only way to fix the error. When I asked him why the service charges couldn’t be credited, he explained he was in a department where he could only accept payments, not resolve issues like mine and issue credits but he would note the account and get me to the correct department and to a supervisor.
Well he didn’t do either. Mind you, he was the 3rd person I spoke with that day and the 7th person I spoke with in total. When he transferred the call, no notes from him so I had to explain the entire situation again. It became frustrating. Finally a representative (while waiting for her supervisor) went through all the previous notes and did the calculations after seeing the errors and said she would issue the credits and give the “system” 10-21 days to send the final bill. So I waited. Now let me also mention that the booster boxes I received needed to be returned. The first supervisor I spoke with explained she would send me the boxes and return mailed but there’s also instructions on how to return them to a T-Mobile store if there was one close. Well, the store is in the same strip mall as the new carrier I changed to.
So I went to the store, my Husband and my Dad took the boxes, boosters and paperwork into the store that clearly stated the store would take the equipment. The salesman in the store stated that was the wrong procedure. But the T-Mobile document states this is an option. He stated it was wrong and he was the manager. After a few minutes of reading the paperwork (which included the steps that he would need to take), he admitted he didn’t know how to do it and since the account was closed, he didn’t know what to do. So we had to take it to UPS or the post office. Well, now over four months later, I get a final bill and a letter from a collection agency on the same day! The issue now is that the service was credited BUT, the charges for two of the phones that were refurbished are significantly higher than what the new carrier gave me for the phones.
Now, I don’t mind paying for the service and maybe a little for the phones, but one phone was over $400 charged by T-Mobile the new carrier gave me $37! That’s ridiculous. So when I spoke with the first collection agency rep I couldn’t pay for the phones because the Visa cards were in my Husband’s name and he was working. So I told the representative that we were leaving out the next morning to travel for a funeral and if I didn’t call back that evening, I’d call when I returned home. He was fine with that but I went ahead and paid for the service charges. We calculated them together but his amount totaled lower than mine, so I paid my amounts anyway. When I called back and paid for the phone charges that the new carrier gave me Visa gift cards for and the $37 (totaling $500 for 3 phones) the representative then became rude and told me I had to pay the remaining amount.
I explained to him that I wanted to dispute that because it was for phone charges for phones that were not new, I didn’t have any longer and we’re charged way too much. Now he said he’d do so but when I tell you his attitude totally changed it was like night and day. I was shocked and I told him that not only was he combative and rude but he was interrupting me and getting loud and I was not happy with how the conversation changed so quickly and I’m too much of a fragile state to have my buttons pushed. It seemed to me that he was saying things deliberately to try and get me upset & argue, which I was not going to do. I was dealing with the death of a close family member, 10 hours worth of traffic and although I was tired and it was late, I made sure I honored my end of the deal and called to make the payment for the $500.
Now I’m waiting to see what happens when the disputed charges are sent back to T-Mobile. I’m not paying for phones that were not worth what they’re charging. I think this is bogus and wrong business practices. Plus I failed to mention that the fee for the insurance that we had on the lines was not prorated. So even though I switched my service on the billing cycle date, not only did I pay for the current month, I had to pay for insurance for the next month as well. I’m paying insurance for a phone that I don’t have anymore? Really T-Mobile?
Now let me say, I’m paying more per month for the service with the new carrier. But that’s fine because my phone works everywhere. And I’m handicap so having a phone that works is a peace of mind that I don’t mind paying more for. My husband travels for work and has no issues; my parents always have service, which is great. My daughter also has service on the neighborhood and at school so I can always reach her. T-Mobile has horrible business practices.

The phone rings off the hook. The few times I got through they were all promises, "We will open an investigation and phone you back in 72 hrs", I am still waiting. I wrote to their customer service. They did not even answer. I gave up. Don’t use these people. They do not care for their customers, if something goes wrong they ignore you. I suspect their customer service is based offshore. And they are only sweet words and no follow up. I would never recommend this company. T-Mobile are the worst.

Over 1 year ago my first visit to T-Mobile store, they check credit and I bought a iPhone 7 Plus. They asked down payment and I paid. And added extra $11 per month for upgrades and insurance. They confirmed my credit will increase if I made payment on time. I called them after 3 months and asked why not added Equipment payment to my credit scores, they said it will take at least 6 months. I called them last week and ask upgrade mobile (after 12 months).
They said I paid only for insurance almost over 12 months $11 per month and I should pay down payment $180 and pay $30 per month x 24 months. They were lied too much. So I paid whole amount and released equipment payment and stop insurance. Nothing happened to my credit score. And they lied me many times. I just lost my money and their service is the most worst in America and around the world because I have been over 20 countries and never ever had disaster service like T Mobile USA.

My wife and I have had T-Mobile for many years. Their service isn't the best, but it has gotten better. Wife's phone started bootlooping so, we went in to see what they could do. The woman opened it up looked around and said that it would be replaced for a $5 fee since it was insured. I was texted that the replacement had arrived and I should come in for the exchange. We go in and immediately upon opening this phone the chick says "Nope, sorry. This is water damaged". This phone has NEVER HAD A BATH! It does sit on a shelf (from time to time) in the bathroom while showering. This the second time that they have backed out of replacing a legitimately defective device. I am DONE.

The service is the worst I have ever had, never have signal at work or at home, texts when at home take 5 minutes to send, sometimes I have no signal at all. After all this I had a lapse of judgment, trying to get the new iPhone X ordering it from T-Mobile. An experience which should have been a good one, buying a brand new phone with your hard earned money, turned into an ongoing battle and honestly being robbed of my money that I have yet to get back (it's been 2 months since I sent the phone back). I ordered the phone in the store, they didn't have the bigger capacity iPhone X at the store so the woman there order it online for me and I was to receive at my house soon, I made a down payment of 554 dollars and after I would make monthly payments.
I had to reorder it a couple of times after that because for no reason they kept cancelling, I should have taken that as a warning sign but I didn't unfortunately. After like 3 weeks of waiting it finally arrives, the phone was delivered at my house while I was at work, I go to get it, and I couldn't believe what I was seeing, the over 1k phone came in a box just as small as the phone, no protection whatsoever on the inside, the box was wet (it wasnt raining) and it was completely beat up, as if somebody had send it all the way to my house by kicking it, and on top of everything, the phone inside was already on, I could hear it from the outside of the box, the iPhone box was as well wet, the iPhone inside was acting weird and not responsive.
That was before Christmas, I returned it a week after, a rep on a T-Mobile store told me I couldn't return it at the store since I bought it online. I received an email on 01/04/2018 by UPS that they delivered the phone. I have made approximately 20 calls to T-Mobile about getting my money back, and they all tell me it's about to go into my account, and it hasn't. My original down payment of over 500 dollars and the monthly payment of the phone is still going, T-Mobile is basically robbing me of my money.

I have been a customer for a long time. I have an iPhone 7 Plus that went bad. I went to my local store and they did the paperwork to replace it. They said it would be there 2/2/2018. It was there but because they messed up the paperwork I cannot get the phone they have there and now I have to wait until Tuesday. That's for days without a phone and that's only if they do it right. I called customer service and they could not help. I guess they don't care about my business. So I guess it's time to go to another company and change everything over to them. Verizon here I come.

Just got a phone hooked up with T-Mobile and within the first two hours got 27 wrong numbers that I had to block, then got 3 worm viruses that messed up the phone operating system. It appears to be done on purpose to get me to buy a new phone. Unbelievable disaster as this also happened with AT&T and Verizon wireless in the Sacramento Area. The entire Wireless system is a scam because it is worthless at any price. Calls dropped, phones are overpriced and employees are trained in deception and also on a commission which makes it much worse in deception. They get a bonus if they spin you into their programs, not yours. This creates lots of anger and anger management programs for the local police dept. Who also uses the network to spy on all users without their authorization. NO PRIVACY. EDWARD SNOWDEN WAS RIGHT ABOUT THIS CRIME CARTEL.

Changed over from AT&T for some great pricing for multiple lines. Had a few issues in the beginning being credited for the lines, but that has been resolved. Many apps to choose from for info on your bill & calls. For detailed info on bill credits you need to use a laptop, computer or tablet. T-Mobile is always looking forward on new technology and faster communications.

BEWARE. T-Mobile's SyncUp Drive car router. It is defective DEVICE and T-Mobile charges much more for the device and the service than what you may be told about at the store. When I installed it in my 2017 Honda Pilot, it caused multiple error codes on a brand new Honda. I took it to the dealership (on a trip) to clear the codes. After arriving home, more error codes and the service department where I bought the Honda told me the device caused the errors, had blown a fuse and should be removed.
I didn't notice until several months later that I was being charged $12/mo for the device and a line for the service. The T-Mobile salesman charged me $26 originally for the SyncUp Drive but didn't tell me that they would charge me $2/mo for 24 mo plus $10/mo for an extra line for the device. When I called the support line they told me that I should have noticed the unexpected charges and only took off on month's charges. My recommendation is DO NOT FALL FOR SYNC AND DRIVE.

T-Mobile SUCKS. I so much regret having given them any positive feedback in the past. Over the last 14 days I was reassured by all their representative that I was going to be reimbursed for a broken phone that we returned and they now state that they have no record of it Warehouse. Today their manager Yolanda informed me that I was not going to get the refund and it was my fault that they don't show it in their system or don't have it. And that I would have to eat the cost.
We return the phone to them as instructed and we were not told that we needed to get a receipt showing we returned it. Not once did they communicate via text or phone calls that they did not get this during the month of November, December or January. They waited 3 months to now come and charge my account on February 12 an additional amount of $378 that I needed for my rent. I truly hate those guys! And I will let it be known to whomever I speak to. I just finished posting it on Facebook. Their lack of proper customer service is disgusting.

I work an hour from home and I take I75 all the way to work each morning. On my way to work, I will call my wife to talk to her while she is at work. On the way, I would drop the phone call at least 3 to 4 times. It wasn't uncommon for me to drop phone calls 8-10 times a day. That was just my line alone. If you include my wife's phone and my children, we would drop at least 25 calls a day. It was terrible and I only had the service for a month. I asked to be relieved of my service and return the phones. I was required to still pay for the phones and was not let out of it. I still canceled my service and had to pay for the phones which cost me a couple thousand dollars. My only advice is to stay away. I heard the service was bad but it was way worse than I could have ever imagined. On many instances, I couldn't even get reception at all. I would give them zero stars if I could. That's how bad it is.

Their high speed data plans run out before the 30 days are up, no matter which one you pick. Their billing is in 30 increments meaning your bill date changes from month to month and you effectively pay 13 times per year for service. When the high speed runs out you are barely able to check your email unless you have 2-3 minutes per email that you can devote. Connections drop and sometimes lag even when there is high speed data left. I could go on and probably use all 50,000 words, but I think there is enough here to refer anyone to another company. If I had options, I certainly would be shopping around.

This is the third time this happened to me and always about the same months: I pay my bills each 10th or 9th of the month, depending on what day. (If it's a weekend, earlier). Somehow, January and February always create a problem. This has happened in 2015, 2017, and this year. They always send me a notice that my account is overdue and I have ignored them because they somehow always find the check (my bank sends payments). From the 9th, they somehow finds it on the 22nd!
Three times already, they cut off my connection. We go through all the rigmarole of me sending copies of documents from my bank. And as always, the payments were sitting somewhere in someone's office somewhere in the many offices they have. My problem is; WHY DO I HAVE TO BE ALWAYS THE VICTIM OF THEIR INCOMPETENCE? I have written to them to CORRECT their system, but as I stated, this is the third time and I am getting sick of them! I have missed many important calls and I cannot access my phone list! I am moving to another carrier when this ** is completed! If you can move to another carrier!

Apparently ‘unlimited’ to T-Mobile means ‘very limited’. Don’t believe that their unlimited plans will give you unlimited 4G speed. If you upgrade to Plus 1, for another $10/month, after 10 GB your unlimited 4G becomes 3G. ie Limited. If you join their Plus 1 at an additional $25/month, unlimited means that after 50MB, you are bumped to the end of their users and slower 3G. In other words, ‘unlimited’ becomes limited even for your upcharges. I’ve always thought the definition of ‘unlimited‘ meant ‘without limits’. Not to T-Mobile!

We switched from our previous longtime mobile phone service provider because T-Mobile had a program for unlimited phone, text and data for 2 users that was to be half the cost of our previous carrier (Verizon). We signed up on December 9, 2017. We immediately had dropped calls and areas of no service here in the Leesburg and Tavares Florida area. After repeated problems we decided we could not live with that unreliable service so we switched back to our previous provider on December 14, 2017. They have billed us $88.33 for the 6 days because they are charging for a full month past the time of the discontinuance of our service, or nearly a month and a half.
We did not call them because it should not be necessary to make calls to get them to provide the service they contracted to provide us. They are claiming that it is our responsibility to contact them and inform them of the problem so they can try to fix it. I stated if that is so then it is just as much their responsibility to contact me to check and see if I am receiving their service and getting what they are billing me for, which of course did not happen. They refuse to agree to any adjustment and of course, they wield all the power to report it to the credit bureau and negatively impact our credit rating. We have the option of formal dispute thru arbitration as per their contract terms but that costs $200.00 to the consumer which is not practical for an $88.33 charge, of which I would have no problem settling for $35.00.
I just want to warn people of their one-sided practices and their process to shaft the average user while they do not live up to their end of the contract. So BUYER BEWARE before starting anything new with T-Mobile. We have gone back to Verizon at about twice the cost but we have never had a dropped call or area of no service in those same places in Leesburg and Tavares Florida.

Where to begin... When we first got T-Mobile we asked them several times if we would have service in our area more than once. Then they "yes" so we continued. Got home nothing. No service. We were doing the Lion King dance trying to send or receive anything. Called them they said, "Oh we will send ya a service booster." Got excited. Waited a week. Finally got it, got it set up. Again nothing so we decided to keep it. We did get good service in town and was a good price for that time. So... we have been with them 4 years and we were just getting tired of not having service so we switched to Cricket which I love it so far! Actually get service where I have never gotten it before!!! Love Cricket! But now they want to charge us out of the Wazu for a phone plan that was ** to begin with. I would advice not to go with T-Mobile. They suck!!!

After 5 years of great service we moved to a location where there was no service. After eating 6 months for a tower, we changed to U.S. Cellular, who has a local tower. Called mid December to cancel and was told, "Ok, we will cancel Jan 1." I received a bill [as if service was continuing] in Jan. I called and was told the cancellation did not go through but now it will. Got a bill for one [of two] phones. Called again. Rep claimed could not access my account [no pin] and told me to go to store [53 miles away]. Store did manage to give me a copy of statement. Tried to access online, however denied access as phone number now deleted. Finally called and spoke with rep who accepted $515 as final payment [of course], I believe, including 2 months which should not have been charged. So. after 5 years of good service, the last experience is such that I will use tin cans and string before returning to T-Mobile. Very sad.
