Website would not allow a payment made (again) unless automatic enrollment. I didn't want automatic payments so called them (worst support EVER). They charged my card and thought I was paid up, 3 days later another charge on my account. Called them again (worst support EVER). They said they would refund the charge, next day another charge on my account. Called today (worst support EVER), demanded to speak with supervisor (same broken English - doesn't understand a single thing). Now my checking account in the last week has been charged almost $300 for a $77 a month bill. I'm certain that by Monday, another charge will be on my account and soon my checking account will be $0. I wouldn't recommend this service to anyone.

On 9/4/18 I called T-Mobile regarding a deal posted on their website for the iPhone 6S for $99 for present customers. However, upon speaking with 2 representatives one of which was in the "Customer Satisfaction Department", I was still left as an unsatisfied customer, and told that the promotion had expired and that the web department needed to remove the ad. However, the representative originally indicated that since the deal was still posted on the website with no expiration date notated, they would need to honor it.
However, by the end of the call I was told that since they don't have any phones presently in stock they could not give me the deal. I pointed out that the ad gave the option to find the phones at the "nearest store" as well, however, the representative was unwilling to contact them on my behalf in order to get the deal processed. I was instead offered a higher family plan as well as a more expensive option iPhone to purchase. Misleading customers with the bait and switch game is beyond dishonest and deserves to be reported which is why I am doing so, since T-Mobile obviously does not value my longtime business with them enough to honor their word, ads or promotions.

T-Mobile is a scam. We ordered phones - took like 7 hours because the first person taking the order couldn't figure out how to put an order in. Paid for phones. Pretended to ship and they recalled them.

Had T-Mobile for a long time because I trusted them, until recently when the phone started to drop calls and text messages wouldn't send, didn't think much about it. Took it to local store, they too didn't know what caused it, so I finally upgrade a Galaxy S6 to a S9 Plus with a exchange of the S6 and I would get a $250 rebate on my next bill. At this time I also upgraded from a 2gig data to a 6gig for another $10/month.
When my bill statements arrived, I looked thru it meticulously, viewing every details and flaws when I noticed my $250 on S6 wasn't credit as promised, and my $35/month payment on the new phone was charged a extra $5/month for taxes so does the $5 for the extra data I also upgraded. They told me they were sorry for not credited the old phone, but it will be credited next month. Next month came. Still nothing happened, I told them I'm tired of the games and all the extra fees they were charging. I finally switch to ATT and all the problems went away, I did pay $20 extra but I got unlimited everything. It's really worth switching. I'm so pleased with ATT.

I would give a 0/5 if I could. All I ask for is how to assess old bills which are older than 18 months online, so that I can print them right away at home without having to pay any additional charge. Since T-Mobile charges $5/each ground bills. The staff and supervisor Mark (#**) from Oklahoma Center offer no help at all, but create more mess for my current situation. Even though they still speak in nice manner, they want to remove my name from the bills, which affects my current paperwork and is extremely UNNECESSARY. It turns out that it is because T-Mobile forgot to scan my SSN 2-3 years ago when adding my name in the account. But it is T-Mobile staff's fault, why I need to suffer from that. I hope T-Mobile higher-ups can offer a better solution and represent the brand better. Other phone lines don't make it that much difficult to assess just some old bills and don't create extra crazy mess. Thanks.

I have been on hold a total of 11 hours with 21 transfers and zero customer service. The most recent I was on the phone for 3.5 hours and then it disconnected. The last person swore she would not put me on hold again then she did. I never received a phone number after paying $10 for my SIM card. They tell me it is on reserve status. Three times they put in a work ticket and I never heard back from them. It is amazing this company still exists with this amount of lousy customer service. Really, really poor service.

T-Mobile is the absolute worst! I've only had my service for one day and this experience is awful! I go to purchase my phone, the guy Theordore who works at the Carolina Pavillion location did not set up my sim card, so I couldn't make calls. He also entered my pin wrong so I had to deal with that, and not to mention I was on hold for almost 3 hours trying to get a representative only to be told my pin number was incorrect! I'm over this damn company. Do not use T-Mobile! I will be going back to boost!

21 hours in the store before we had working phones... Because the phones that we brought over were perfectly fine until the service switched and we had to spend $1,600 on 2 new phones if we wanted to talk on them... the data worked fine... (Sarcasm) Then, we walked out of the store and had "NO Service". Not one bar. Back into the store they explained that there was poor service in that area. Now, we can't make calls from our home or receive calls over wifi or through the cell network. I get voicemails after the phone never ringing or any notification of an incoming call. 1 out of 5 calls go through. 1 out of 3 - 5 text go through and I'm 5 feet from a working router and internet service!
Cell coverage is terrible. I travel throughout the day and have to wait to get to my office and call everybody back from a landline to complete the calls. In metro communities, I can't complete a call and it is frustrating for me and my clients! I'm losing business because of the terrible coverage and as soon as I can pay off these phones. I'm going to??? I was with Bell Atlantic and then Verizon for over 20 years. Never had these types of problems. Unfortunately, the $1,600 phones won't work on the Verizon network. But GOODBYE T-Mobile. That's for sure!

I have had a terrible experience with the business reps and then customer service. If you have a business account with T- Mobile you are given a rep who will call and/or send emails with "special offers" of "free" products with either a low or no data fee (eg tablets.). I have even been told when I said I wouldn't use it "why not get it anyway; you can give it away as a gift". I fell for this and for the emails that have FREE IN BOLD TYPE. I even asked specifically if this would cost anything and was assured it would not.
Now fast forward a year - I find that I am being charged monthly for the device and for service. I contacted the new rep (they turn over regularly) who was going to look into it and never got mad. The next time I was contacted by still another new rep I explained the problem. This one directed me to customer service. I finally, after a lengthy conversation got her to agree to refund the data fees but not the cost of the tablets. She also claimed she couldn't even find one of the offers. A subsequent call to the new rep was never returned. In June I called and canceled my service. I now find they only canceled the phone line but continued to charge data usage for the tablets! A friendly customer service rep arranged to refund the past month but not the previous month. I freely admit that I was not scrupulous in monitoring bills so I didn't catch these errors in a timely way. I claim naiveté and trust that businesses charge what they claim. Stay away from them!!!

On Friday, August 24, 2018 I decided to get T-Mobile service for the wireless phone so I called their customer service. He told me that my sim cards will be mailed to me since I did not want to wait. I ask him if I can go to the T-Mobile store and get sim cards. He told me that they will charge me $25 for sim cards and activation fee so it’s not good idea unless I wanna pay activation fee so I agreed to wait and get my sim card in the mail. When I received my sim cards I called again customer service. They told me that my account is a fraud. Now I don’t know.
How long it’s gonna take for them to resolve this problem. I fax them social card and driver license. It’s not a good feeling. When I stop by T-Mobile store and ask them about what is activation fee and sim card fee they said there is no sim card fee only $25 activation fee so he lied to me. Don’t call customer service to get service. As I read many people complain about how poor their tech-support it’s another warning I don’t think I should fax them my social security number and my driver's license. I don’t think anybody should do this!

I have tried 3 times, totally 3 hours, to get T-Mobile technical support to unlock my phone. During the 3rd call which took 1 hour, the manager finally admitted that T-Mobile records mistakenly listed my iPhone's IMEI # as a Verizon phone. The manager put in a ticket to "another dept" for this AND MY PHONE IS STILL LOCKED, despite the fact my phone is paid for and I have belonged to T-Mobile almost 18 months. Horrible and incompetent customer care. I must have my phone unlocked because I am moving out of the US, and this company - who locked the phone by the way - can't figure out how to do it quickly and properly. I have spent at least 3 hours and 3 phone calls AND MY PHONE IS STILL LOCKED.

Three weeks of dealing with literally dozens of reps, supervisors, and supervisors of supervisors failed to solve even simple problems. Every one gave different info, said the previously suggested fixes were impossible, and NEVER called back when they made appointments to call. Policies are bizarre -- e.g., different account passwords for online account and calling in, all of which mysteriously disappear every time they are reset and without which no one can even speak to you. Reps say go to a store and store reps say call customer service and tech support. No one solves the problems.
They sent a replacement phone that become too hot to hold when trying to transfer data. Took up the entire 2 wk return period with appointments to call me back that never happened and day after day on hold on the phone, starting over and over with new people who had no history of the case and couldn't solve any problems. Not the first Kafkaesque experience with T-Mobile. Is this a COMMUNICATIONS company?

I will save the details of many phone calls to the support that lasted on average 1+ hour and did not help at all. I have an account in good standing, paid money, used my phone and then found that people cannot reach me. For 5 days I can make calls but cannot receive and have no data, the support answers like that: You do not have an account (!??!!); Your account encountered an unusual error, we submitted a ticket, it will be resolved in 24 hours (that passed long time ago); Just getting disconnected after an hour. I have never encountered worst customer service before. I will do my best to stay away.

I settled for the buy one get one free but it's 2 months later & I'm still being billed for 2 phones. The 4 lines for $140 was also denied, I was advised the sale ended 3/31 & the sales rep was wrong. T-Mobile refused to honor the deal or to even look into it. A rep even said the sales dept will do anything for a sale, but won't honor the quoted price even though it was their error.

I signed up with T-Mobile because of these 5 star reviews which now I do not believe are legitimate AT ALL!! It took me nearly a year to finally drop T-Mobile. Anytime you call, it's an automated system and there is always a problem with talking to a person that can solve any problem. The people are ALWAYS in India and try to hide their thick accents. I finally was able to switch to my present phone service and now two months later... I get a letter saying I have a 4 cents credit. But, at the bottom it says I have a 4 cents PAST DUE bill!!! I call and call and as usual it's a part time job for anyone to talk to me and of course it's an Indian dude who can't help me because my acct is closed and my code doesnt work.

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

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

I am being charged 4.33$ by T-Mobile's auto pay system and I don't even have T-Mobile service. I use AT&T. I tried calling customer support and the representative says he can't do anything about it. I get routed to a supervisor and she says she can file an incident report, but when I ask about getting reimbursed for the auto pay charge, the connection 'suddenly' disconnects. The supervisor explicitly asked for a callback number but I haven't received a call back after the phone call disconnected. Very horrible service from a company that I don't even use. Ironically, on the same day T-Mobile announced their "team of experts that will handle your issue from front to end."

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

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

Now 6 month later, after speaking with numerous support and business representatives, that I am not eligible for the discount. I would not have signed up if this discount did not apply. Every other phone company applies this discount, I've had AT&T and Verizon and they both honor this corporate discount. Anytime you sign up with someone who makes promises, get them in writing first. It's a sales ploy that T-Mobile is using and it stinks.

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

I have been with T-Mobile for over 15 years. The past few months my bill has been fluctuating a little here and there. This month it went up by $3.00. I called the customer service line. After a long hold time, the rep explained that the increase was due to local and state tax. I explained the tax does not increase by that much on a monthly basis. He went on to try to change my plan to another plan where taxes are included. I refused stating that it is a plot by T-Mobile to force longtime customers to more expensive plans. I believe that an investigation should take place on this company. They are not what they use to be.

I was with Sprint for about 17 years and decided to go with T-Mobile because of their promotion for $40.00 per line with no taxes. For Christmas in 2017 I added my grandson onto my account and got him a phone. While adding him on I was told I should be at the 55 plus rate which would bring my bill down to $35.00 a line. This was offered to me and not something I requested. The way it was explained to me was that it was an add on to the plan I had which would lower my cost $5.00 per line. My grandson has enlisted in the military and decided to get his own service. He went to Verizon and got a good deal and new phone with the trade in for the one I just got him. (They are paying off the phone).
I get my bill and my account is still being charged for both lines but they prorated the insurance coverage and removed his account. I called them and was told they were sorry and they could fix the issue. The rep said that it appeared no one put it back to the original plan of having only one line. I thought 'well this is working out without any hitches'. But I was wrong.
The rep started to say that I had been being charged $75.00 per month for one line and that she could put me on the 55 plus which would lower it to $55.00. When I questioned her why it wasn't going back to the $35.00 she told me it was because I had switched plans and that she couldn't recall any $40.00 per month plan that they offered! (Remember the commercials for it and the big pink posters in their stores?)
I informed her I was not okay with that and that I expected the same plan I had before I added the extra line. She put me on hold, came back and said her manager said they couldn't do anything for me and that they too didn't remember the $40.00 per line w/taxes included promotion. I told her to look at my bills and see how much I was paying. She said she did but there was nothing she could do except put me on the 55 plus plan. I will be going back to Sprint. It's my fault for leaving the one I had good service with for 17 years.

I decided to change carriers in May. I went from Verizon Wireless to T-Mobile. This was a horrible mistake. I only had the phones for 8 days when my son's phone screen stopped working. It was completely black. You could still hear all the alerts but you couldn't turn the phone off. You couldn't turn the phone on because all those options are on the screen. I called the phone carrier T-Mobile and told them what had happened and they said not a problem. The phone was covered and that they would send me a new phone and then I could send my damaged phone back in.
About 2 weeks later I get a bill for the cost of the phone so I called T-Mobile and they're telling me that the phone was cracked when they received it and I told them that the phone was not cracked when I mailed it that it probably got damaged in the delivery and they told me that there was no damage to the box and saw that I had to pay for the phone. I am very upset and I'm sorry but if you drop a box sometimes there's no damage to it you could still break things inside. We all know how delicate cell phones are when there's no case on them. I will never deal with T-Mobile again once my contract is up.

From, "We sent a check," "It is not 10 business days yet," "The warehouse have not scanned your item. Until they do so we cannot refund." It is one thing to another. With today's technology how hard is it for someone to pick up a phone and call the warehouse to scan the item and refund a customer? I pay insurance for 2 phones every month.

So far, a complaint has been filed with the BBB. Next step is to file a dispute of the charge with my credit card company. Next step is to file a police report against T-Mobile for theft.

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

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

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

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

Just bought a Moto Z Force about 7 months ago and it stopped working recently. I got sent out a replacement that stopped working the next day. I called again to correct the issue and the gentleman I spoke with didn't understand what I was trying to explain to him about the phone and when we were finally on the same page he sends out the wrong phone. I tried to call again to get the issue fixed and had to speak with 3 different reps who could fix the problem. The next morning I called again and was finally able to get the right phone sent out and the man who I spoke with said he waived the delivery fee which he didn't. Case in point I still don't have and the in store reps at both stores I went to were very unprofessional and rude. Even after being an 11 year customer they still treat you like crap.

I have not had many issues with my T-Mobile service except for a few charges that should not have been showing up on my bill repeatedly. I complained about charges appearing on my bill, albeit I should have caught earlier, but T-Mobile only credit back 3 mos. even though it was their mistake. This happened 2X for the exact same issue and trusting CS agent to follow through just doesn’t work, so now I escalate issues that arise immediately.

Me and my wife were traveling overseas and we asked T-Mobile to unlock our phone so we can use other carrier services overseas. We called 611 from our phones first and a customer service rep told us that she will submit a request for unlocking our phones; we should get an email with unlock instructions. After 24 hours, we did not receive any email, so we called again, another customer service rep then told us that it is going take 72 hours (rather than 24 hours) to unlock our phones and we should still wait for the email to arrive.
We told the customer service rep that we called earlier and was told it was going to take only 24 hours, then she replies: "Oh yeah, I can give you an exception and it will take just 24 hours". So, just to validate what the 2nd customer service rep said, we called the 3rd time, this time the customer service rep told us she could not find any record showing that we have requested unlock our phone, and she will need to submit a new request. Our experiences with t-mobile customer services clearly show that either t-mobile CRM/Support systems have issues or the customer service rep just do not know what they are doing. It is really a frustrated experience that customers need to make multiple calls to straight things out.

Just a month ago I switch over from Verizon because it was getting to expensive. So I switched to T-Mobile. Worst mistake I think I ever made... Not only does the service suck, I can't upload videos as quick as I did with Verizon, my calls drop way more often than with Verizon. My video chats are the worst... And waiting to speak to a representative on the phone takes about 40 minutes. Then they all take you through the same troubleshooting steps just to be back at square one again. One representative told me it was my phone and not their service. I just had Verizon a month ago and my phone was fine. I hate T-Mobile and am planning on terminating my plan. Not worth a dollar y'all. Please do not sign up with them... Currently still on hold with them and hopefully the call don't drop before I get to speak to a representative.

On 6/18/2018 I enrolled in an unlimited plan for Military/Veterans with a monthly cost of $100 for four lines. Upon registering at My T-Mobile a few days later I observed my rate was $170 per month, not the $100 I was quoted. Additionally, the service area map I was shown by the retail store rep showed "excellent" coverage at my home address, there was in fact no cellular T-Mobile service at my location. I made many calls and spent huge amounts of time with customer service trying to get my plan corrected, to no avail.
On 6/29/2018 I cancelled my plan with T-Mobile and was told that for the ten day period I would owe a payment of $170... plan never got corrected to the T-Mobile Military/Veteran plan. I signed up for my plan at the retail store and the representative somehow managed to totally screw up her data entry and enroll me in the incorrect plan, this was even with another, seemingly, more competent rep helping her by telling her what to enter... he said the right plan but somehow the managed to enter the incorrect plan.
Customer service is also worthless, not being able to correct anything for you. My advice to anyone is to shop Verizon or AT&T. I have had both, and yes they are more expensive but their service area is large and their representative are much better equipped to handle questions from customers. My short experience with T-Mobile revealed to me what a joke of an organization T-Mobile is.

I just left a bad review after a bad T-Mobile experience in Tampa Fl. I called back through the corporate number and talked to John in Oklahoma who was like the old T-Mobile mobile reps. Absolutely wonderful. He found the overage charges on my bill and removed them. I was being billed twice for two items with a couple of other extra charges (a total of $40). The rep in Tampa did not seem to know how to look at the bill and resolve the problem. So that is just sad. But I am happy now. It may take some work but there is still some good T-Mobile service out there. Phew.

So sad- something dishonest is going on in T-Mobile. I have been with this company for 10 years and have so appreciated their customer service- even when coverage was poor I dealt with that because they were such a great company. But no more. So sad. I got scammed when I went in to work out upgrades- too long to get into it all here but it was slick- wear consumer armor when you go in the store! I called customer service about my latest bill which is too high and it was absolutely terrible- they could not answer my questions and they could not resolve the issue. This is so sad and kind of frightening. I hope a watchdog group checks into what is going on 'cause my instincts tell me something is seriously wrong with T-Mobile's current policies- CONSUMER BEWARE.

We couldn't make or receive calls from our condo. When we came back to Boise I called T-Mobile and told them we can't use our phones from our condo. The guy on the phone seemed to know they have spotty service, but if I were to switch carriers I would have to pay a $1900 cancellation fee. I told him we'd gladly give them back our phones. Now we're stuck with crappy service for 19 more months, or we face a huge bill. Had they told us up front their service sucks in McCall, we would never have switched.

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

They have what is known as T-MOBILE Tuesday every week. Some weeks you just have to drop by a store that day and pick up, a free hat, gloves, scarf, beach towel, clear tote bag, umbrella, T-shirt... those are just some of the free items I have received. They only physically give out those type items every six weeks but on the other weeks I have received totally free one year magazine subscriptions for at least five different magazines. They also give away all types of free items through the app. Their app is a plus because it is able to handle many problems.
One more BIG plus is they are transitioning to where all call centers will be in the USA AND the next step is when you call you will be assigned to “that” call center and from then on there will always be someone who has either spoken with you in the past or their coworker has assisted you. They all know each other in each specific call center so that will be fantastic. I wish every company would do this but I feel they are a first and therefore I will continue to deal with poor reception when out and about for that reason.

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

After having been with Verizon 20+ years I attempted to save a few bucks. Well hard lesson learned. You get exactly what you pay for. T-Mobile has the worst coverage. I had no service in my house, in the neighborhood, at work, or when I moved 30 miles across town. I live in Phoenix metro not a field In the middle of nowhere despite what the horrible reception would lead one to believe. Boosters did nothing to help. The non-stop “wait another month or two. We will have towers build there next month” blah blah. I heard it for 9 months. So I had enough and lost the 1k I spent on the phone and went back to Verizon. Paid off everything I owed in full according to manager at the store.
Due to the nightmares I have heard and read of T-Mobile ripping people off, charging for services not used, and numerous devious practices I insisted on meeting with a manager in person and obtaining receipts (too bad I didn’t audio record looking back). Done. Whew! Nope... threats of owing $350 for a booster I returned. After 3 phone calls and a receipt proving they were wrong they drop that. Next comes a bill 6 weeks later saying I owe another $20. Fight with them on the phone to no avail. Pay it to rid of the nightmare.
Well today I get another bill. Mind you 3 weeks after that for $30 and a threat to take me to collections. This time I recorded everything. I’m quite sure these unscrupulous thieves will continue to send nonexistent bills to further attempt to recover for the hemorrhaging clientele. This company is horrendous and if they continue as they are will once again sink as they did before. The store will tell you one thing, the phone staff will tell you many other different things.

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.

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.

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.
