Worst customer service ever. Had to call 5 times about the same issue and every time I had to explain the issues from the start. Got transferred multiple times each call and had to re-explain each time, got hung up on twice and had to call back to re-explain. Just awful, canceling our service, never going back.

Misleading with promotions and they make it complicated to get them. I did not get all the promotion promised when I signed up, then part of that promotion was applied from the moment I canceled the third line, although that period was already covered until sometime in January. I signed up with T-mobile to reward them for the bold steps they took to change the industry. But I do not have time to play games and will be going back to my previous provider.

There were two lines added to my wireless account that I had nothing to do with and I called multiple times to have the lines removed since they should have asked for identification and had the security to not allow that from taking place. And I called many many times and went to a few store locations to cancel the accounts and they won't. Would hang up on me or tell me that they would put in a submission or that it was set to cancelled a certain date but the accounts were never cancelled I was told. And the terms and conditions in the agreement that I signed said that service could be cancelled at any time. The accounts are not only still open but they made a call to my mother in reference to me and I am 26 years old.

Had for about 6 months and got in my car and 4 different warning messages came up. I restarted the car and got the same thing. Immediately to the 2016 Honda Pilot to the dealer and after 8 hours found it was the T‑Mobile SyncUP causing the issue. I am not sure why you would put something like this on the market.

From day one, T-Mobile has been terrible in service as I have called multiple time inquire about signal issues with calling and it is not like I live in the country. They will give you lies and false resolution every time you call with a different excuse as to what is going on with signal problem. Then recently my phone was defected and needed a exchange which was one hell of a process that I went through. From not being able to exchange my phone even though my phone exchange was at the store to waiting for almost a week to be able to exchange my defective one. Then customer service was horrible where they will literary talk over you as you explain the situation to also hanging up on you because they no long want to hear what you say and refuse to let you speak with a supervisor.
Also every time I went in for a exchange, they will charge you for a exchange fee but from what I understand is if the defective phone is exchange within 30 days that they are not suppose to charge you but they did and the store and T-Mobile company are not on the same page regarding their policy so I got rip off again. The customer support team are bunch of liar as they promise things that they cannot fulfilled. At the same time they are also rude and disrespectful to their customer. They will tell you you got 2 option either take it or not in a rude way which is not how customer of T-Mobile should be treated. So all in all I would not recommend T-Mobile to other as they treat their customer like bad because all they care about is the money.

I have been a customer of T-Mobile since I was 16 years old and I am going to be 30 this year. I truly thought that when I called them today with my issue that they would take care of me as a customer for so long. Since September of last year I have gone through three LG G4 phones which have a "bootloop" problem which causes the phone to get stuck in a loop while it's booting. T-Mobile and LG are aware of this problem (it's a hardware problem, well documented online) but they refuse to send me a phone that works. My options are to buy a new phone or to continue to be sent a faulty phone over and over again.
All I want is peace of mind that my phone is going to work day to day. That's what I paid for. I spent hours on the phone with several customer service reps who made me feel like I was scamming them somehow. "We don't just give away free phones." Yes, I know. But I paid for a phone that doesn't work for longer than 30 days! As soon as this phone dies, I am switching to another carrier. So disappointed.

It should be a crime in this day and age for a cell phone service provider to not guarantee the delivery of SMS messages. It's just too important and has become a primary method of communication for many people. I have literally lost friendships over the fact that I often NEVER receive text messages. Then, when I called customer service, I got major attitude from someone using the word "axe" instead of "ask" who treated me like I was less than human. The bottom line is you get what you pay for. It may be cheaper than the competition but it's really just not worth it.

I purchased a ZTE smart watch about 3 months ago. There was a promotion where the cost of the watch would be credited to the account if I paid $10 for the plan. It has been over 3 months now and T Mobile has not been able to get my watch to work. I cannot get on the internet on my smart watch. I have spent numerous hours with T Mobile trying to get this fixed. I would say over 24 hours in 3 months time. I have finally gave up on fixing this watch. Now, I am trying to return it and I am being told that I will be charged the total cost of the watch. T-Mobile is trying to charge for a watch that has never worked and now because it took them 3 months to figure it out, they want me to tell me I cannot return it. Unbelievable!

Huge commercial sites like YouTube and other companies have had great speeds overall. But then I've seen companies like Crunchyroll and others slowed to the point of death. Priority to paying companies is why net neutrality shouldn't have been repealed in the first place. I cannot wait until the 2020 elections and we have a new president and new FCC chairman so T-Mobile gets near billion dollar fines.

T-Mobile disconnected Data completely in the line ending in ** twice around the same time in December 2017 and in January 2018. I was unable to use any application in the phone, I was unable to use Navigation to get to the places I need and much more. $35 that they are offering me as a credit will never cover all inconvenience that it caused to me and my business. I spent few hours of my working time with T-Mobile representatives that were assuring me that everything should work after I reboot (restart) my phone over and over again, then when the Data was not working after few attempts without any notice they simply transferred me to another representative from the same department and new representatives started asking me the same questions again from the beginning having no idea why previous rep transferred me to them. And this is another complaint to BBB. After third rep I finally gave up.
4 more days passed after this and my phone still without data. I simply transferred line ending in ** to New provider. I will never recommend T-Mobile to anyone. This is Fraud and False advertisement! Company that does not really care about their customers. Customer Support Representatives of T-Mobile are giving false promises.

They are trying to charge for things that I do not owe and when it comes down to it they try and give you the runaround and tell you things that actually make no sense and they think that you have to accept that. I left T-Mobile because I have numerous problems with them and they act as if they don't care. Every time you make a change it’s an issue and they come up with some kind of extra fees for you to pay. One in customer service knows anything. Then the manager had the nerve to tell me, “WHAT IS IT THAT YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND.” What kind of service is that? I was trying to explain to them that I was told when I turned in my phone I paid my bill and was told that I didn't owe anything else. I received a bill in the mail for $184.23 in the mail.
I spoke to 3 different people the first day and the last person that I spoke with told me that I did not owe anything and that the balance for my bill was zero. I received another bill for $184.23 in the mail today and now they are trying to tell me I owe the bill. I asked if all calls were recorded and they told me yes and placed me on a brief hold and amazingly the only part of the call they had was with the first person that I talked to. There is no way that he listened to that entire call because I was on the phone with them for a very long period of time. And then he proceeded to tell me that the only reason that I previously called was to cancel my service. That let me know that he lied about listening to that call because the service was cancelled when I switched over to AT&T.
The phone service at T-Mobile is just ok. The internet service on their cellphones is awful. The customer service is the worst. Their people in customer service are beyond rude and very unhelpful. I feel as if they are trained to avoid problems and not to solve them. I would never recommend for anyone to go to T-Mobile. This has been the worst experience that I have ever had with any cellphone provider. And on top of all of that I have been on hold for over an hour.

Been with T-Mobile 8 years, I was on the $80 unlimited plan USA/Canada/Mexico. I was visiting Canada and my internet speed was less than 2G, I spent nearly 10 days calling customer service, they opened a trouble ticket # ** to try to figure out the problem. After 10 days during my vacation in Canada and nearly 5 hours of wait times, I was simply told, "Sorry you have a max 5 GIG in Canada!" So you spend 10 days wasting my time until I found a customer service rep who told me the truth. They all knew the answer but never told me so they don't have to deal with an upset client. After the honest tech girl told me that, I insisted I get a courtesy month so she transferred me to customer service.
The first rep refused to do a thing for me and would not put me through to a supervisor. I finally told him I am recording the call and I insist on speaking to a supervisor, so he transferred me. I told him that if he hangs up on me, this will be posted online. Finally the condescending supervisor gets on the phone with me and pretends he can't hear me. I told him that it is an obvious tactic a child plays to avoid responsibility, and all of a suddenly he can hear me! I was polite and very Frank, I explained I was on vacation in Canada, was on an $80.00 unlimited data plan and I expected that and needed that on my vacation, I have been a loyal customer for 8 years and I would leave T-Mobile if they didn't try to make it right.
He argued with me saying the plan hasn't changed, really, going from unlimited data to 5G is not a change??? I gave him an opportunity to try to make it right or I will leave T-Mobile, he said in a condescending way, "I can't do a thing for you, thank you for being a T-Mobile customer" in a ** way, I just hung up. This is how customer service treats a customer of 8 years! I will pay more to a company that offers better customer service than call centers in India who do everything, as I'm sure they are taught, to deflect responsibility or gratuity to the customer.

Several times my data has reached the 4G I'm allotted before slowing down and coincidentally my Wi-Fi doesn't work.

I live in the New Orleans area, uptown. Less than a mile from the store I purchased from. In the store, 5 bars. 200 yards away, seldom more than 3. In my house, a mile from the store, 1-2 bars. Can't make a call w/o being on wifi calling. Different rooms in the house have no bars. Drop calls from the living room, 30 feet to my driveway. Standing on my front porch, outside, 3 bars. 5 steps away, drops an active call.
I've called T-Mobile multiple times, they say I should have 5 bars. I can't drive on Carrollton from S Claiborne to Canal without dropping the same call 3X!!! It's simply pathetic. I was with AT&T for 13 years, and never understood why people had service issues, because the idea was foreign to me. Aside from some desert stretches in AZ or NV. If T-Mobile can't get their act together in a major city, God help people that have them away from the city. It may be the iPhone X, but I doubt it as other T-Mobile users I know in New Orleans with iPhones report the same lousy coverage. I have zero intention of renewing with them, even though they are half the cost of other carriers. This debacle just reminded me to expect what you pay for.

We are with Sprint and own iPhone 7's. T-Mobile offered to let us keep our phones, they'd pay them off, and we'd move to T-mobile. Turns out that what they meant was that we could send our phones to them and, after a few weeks of paying for their cheap phones, they would send new iPhone 7's to us. I found this out and - before we started with them, I cancelled the order and sent back the unused cheap phones. But - we owe them $160.50 for nothing. We call every month when we receive a bill - they say they'll look into it, a month late we get another bill. I suspect our credit is ruined. Thankfully we still have our phones and our Sprint service. Oh, for the third time T-Mobile says they will look into it.

We switched from Verizon to T-Mobile 2 years ago trying to save money based on all their promotions. We limped along with T-Mobile for 2 years dealing with horrible cell coverage and blackout.

It's bad enough that their cellular service is poor and the signal strength is terrible. On top of that, I had to get one of their "cell spot" units because they had no service at my home and this unit was supposed to boost the signal. The device barely boosted the signal at all and basically did not work. After leaving for another carrier, I closed out the account, having paid every dollar owed. When I received something in the mail from T-Mobile after this, I assumed it would be my credit on the account. Instead, it was a bill for nearly $300. It turns out they were charging me $300 for non-return of the cell spot unit that did not work in the first place.
As it turns out, enough time passed that I had not realized I owed for this unit, thinking I had purchased it instead. Because it did not work, I discarded it. I called to explain and spoke with a supervisor at T-Mobile, indicating I'm fine paying a reasonable "I am stupid" charge for my mistake, but did not feel that I should owe the entire $300 when it certainly did not cost T-Mobile that much. I also reminded her of the unit did not work. $300 under the circumstances is a "we do not want to work with you" full retail, "go away" price. All of this was to no avail and nothing was offered but unyielding policy. I guess they didn't consider what they would end up losing in reputation and return customers. I figure that far exceeds the $300 they rigidly insisted upon... In addition to this, I was able to find half the unit which I turned in, but T-Mobile refused to honor any refund (even partial)...

I've been a T-Mobile Customer for 5+yrs now. Last month a T-Mobile Rep granted access to someone other than myself. I have extra protection on my account which my Wife does not know. Yet a perfect stranger gain access to my account, changed my SIM card info to their phone and cherry on top - logged into my bank account. After speaking with Wells Fargo Rep, I was told this was not the first case regarding a fraud attempt. THANKFULLY Wells Fargo was paying attention. Hmm... What is the point of having extra security measures? I don't care if the person knew my blood type. Without my password, they should have been denied access!!!
November my Wife and I took advantage of the BOGO S8+. 1 1/2 mo later I call to check the status of the rebate card, only to be told I was denied because I did not have the unlimited plan. At the time of purchase, I ask the Sales Rep what were the terms and conditions. She told both my Wife and I the only requirement is to add a line, nothing else. Not true!!! Now I'm stuck paying half my mortgage for phone service. I swear if I hear I'm sorry one more time! I am not a careless person more so when it comes to business matters. I have LifeLock, Equifax credit lock protection, and other types of credit protection plans. To be compromised by T-Mobile is disappointing. I've done a GREAT job protecting my personal info.

T-Mobile is such a scam. Please do not trust this company! I have been a loyal customer for 4 years and every time I had an issue with them it’s due to improper training and additional charges added to my account. I had closed my account recently and before I could I had to pay my remaining balance on my account... obviously why would I drop by with 300 dollars to pay off my account randomly if I didn’t mean to close it? They had the total payment of my last receipt and after that I transferred my phone number to Verizon.
So if they werent receiving servicing from me anymore why did they continue to charge me??? So 5 months later a bill went to my collection for 800 dollars. I spoke to 6 people and no one bother to help me. They saw the error and they said they will report it. 1 month later from each rep I spoke to no results. Please, T-Mobile is a scamful company, they’re unprofessional, and untrustworthy. I need an attorney on this case. I had gone to them thinking it was the cheapest route only to be scammed for 800.00.

I have been a T-Mobile customer for about 6 years. This year, when I moved over to new plan, representative first of all did not transfer all four lines to the accounts properly.

I tried their pay as you go plan which gives 30 texts and 30 min talk. It sounded great because I mostly do WiFi calling. After you make a purchase then you can read the hidden details which show that WiFi calling counts against your minutes. This should be part of their advertisement. Working the way it currently does you would pay way more than an unlimited plan. That seems really deceptive to me. I went back to the store and they returned the money for the SIM card. They said I had to go through headquarters to get the additional charge to maintain the account “in case of unexpected expenditures”.
I’ve called multiple times and they claim they will send a debit card but it never comes. A lot of work for $10. Someone needs to do something about all this deceptive advertising by the cell phone carriers. Even ATT quotes 50 but when you get the bill it’s closer to 80. They claim it’s tax but there is 7.50 of mandatory charges. Their excuse is that all the other companies are doing it.

But half ways thru the 2 month, calls were dropping constantly, very slow internet, reset my phone more than twice a day. Was calling customer service every other day. They kept putting in a ticket to troubleshooting and then offered me a call and internet booster.
I was with T-Mobile 6 months. They did everything they could. Supposedly, they even said they were going to apply some kind of discount on my next bill. This happen throughout the few months I had service with them. Well guess what? They never did anything, so I let them know I didn’t want to continue my service with them and they said all I had to pay was that bill, which was $100. But since I had really bad service they were going to waive that $100. Well now as of Dec 2017, I have collections on my credit report for the amount of $430.

There was an unauthorized/fraudulent activity on my account. My calls were forwarded to another number which greatly contributed to the identity theft issue I am dealing with. Called 611 to complain that I am not receiving any calls and that's how I found out that my calls are forwarded to a number in Arizona. Told them I did not make any changes and forwarding calls feature on my iPhone does not show that I made any changes. They reversed that change and the following day the same thing happened. Cannot receive calls and kept receiving blocked/unknown calls every minute or few minutes throughout the day. Was told they cannot assist me with blocked calls. Repeated calls made regarding the same issue until one agent suggested that I can create another layer of protection on my account by making another password. So, I did.
As a victim of identity theft, there were numerous accounts opened under my name. One merchant is requesting a written statement from T-Mobile to support that there has been a fraudulent activity with my account. They are claiming that they spoke to me and confirm the charges on the phone regardless that I told them that my calls were illegitimately forwarded to another number at that time. Contacted T-Mobile to request this written statement. Spoke to an agent and was told that she will call me back with information. Made follow up calls a day and two days later, but was told to wait for the call. Three days later someone called and told me that they cannot provide a written statement regarding the fraudulent activity but they can only verbally state that they see the forwarding call change and my numerous calls about the issue. An email cannot even be sent describing the events or calls made about the account.
I was told all information are electronically made and cannot be sent. The account holder cannot get information regarding their own account but another person impersonating to be the account holder can make changes on the account?? In the first place, if all agents know how to troubleshoot issues and offered the second layer of protection like creating a password, unauthorized access to accounts could have been prevented. During my repeated calls about the issue, it seems like I have to retell the whole story all over again. Inquired if there are any notes written since it is for the same account. But when you are talking to an agent they keep saying "it's noted", where? Who knows? Very frustrating since I am a customer for more than a decade. Not surprising to read poor reviews about T-Mobile online. Bump up the efficiency of your service!

Despite assurances of coverage at our address, T-Mobile failed to perform, dropping calls repeatedly and giving us no and one bars. To make a call, we had to stand out in the middle of the driveway, even in the rain. After literally 60 calls to customer service, a technician told us we should never have been allowed to subscribe since T-Mobile did NOT provide reliable service at our address. All equipment was returned and then it got even worse.
T-Mobile began billing us hundreds of dollars for the equipment that they said they never got. Fortunately, we had the tracking numbers and a month or so later, we got an email from T-Mobile saying that they had conducted an investigation and found that the equipment had in fact been returned. All done, right? No. Bills started coming again. So we sent them a letter explaining the situation. We got no response whatsoever but instead were put in collections with the agency adding it to our credit report. So, if you're trying to decide on a cellular carrier, remember my story. NEVER T-MOBILE. I'd rather use two tin cans and a string to communicate than ever recommend T-Mobile.

Finally, I was told a ticket was being created; it would be escalated and the Fraud department would contact me by email or phone.
After 26 hours, I had not been contacted. 4 tries later, I finally reached a person who said he would get me to the right place. He got me someone who said she was not in the fraud department but she would try to help. Only then, was I able to verify that the reference number could not be found, there was no record of the transaction and the number started wrong and was the wrong number of digits. Then, when I offered to send the misleading document to T-Mobile, I was told that they have no way to receive or follow-up on such emails and that if I was really interested, I could take it into a store. This review form requires an order number. Not having ordered anything, I can only provide the fraudulent order number that was on the fraudulent email. I will provide that just in case it allows this review to be completed.

Have been paying for service since October 2016. My son who has the notebook said it has never worked and had previous data on unit. This was a used machine not new as told. I have been paying $21.38 monthly. They have records showing service terminated in March and I have been paying up to November. They said they would send loaded credit card for the inconvenience. Never received.
Started with phone from California to lower my bill with Verizon. Their service worked only 3 weeks. Traveled 160 miles R/T. They said needed to upgrade phone. Went from iPhone 5 to 7. Went home. Still no service. They said need AMP. AMP only works in home. Another 160 mile trip. They didn’t have knowledge to refund. Had to restart with Verizon after initially paying early termination. Called to find out where is 147 cc. They had no knowledge. Couldn’t even look up my acct. then they said give refund to acct. how can that be when they couldn’t find my acct. WORST SERVICE AND RIPOFF. AT THIS WRITING THEY STILL OWE ME AT LEAST $147.00.

Purchased Samsung Galaxy Note 5 64gb. Starting experiencing issues with the device so I get the warranty phone sent to me. Well after about 10 exchanges the last 2 devices they send me a 32gb after I verified with the foreigner that it's a 64gb device. Well now I'm having issues with the device and they are telling me that my original purchase was a 32 gb device so why does my eip clearly say 64gb gold platinum device? Now I'm back and forth with these people because I'll be damned if I'm paying for a 64gb device for a 32 gb device. Seems like someone owes me money and a new phone. The thing is they don't make the 64gb note 5 any longer and they are tricking those into getting these warranty devices with lower storage.

Been with T-Mobile for 8+ years and it has been my experience that they use deceptive, unethical, immoral and I believe illegal practices and tactics. I cancelled my line for a year traveling abroad and came back as a new customer due to the previous pleasant experience that I had. Given that I do not have any phones under contract I was carrier hopping to see the various plans that were presented to me. When I came to T-Mobile they introduced me to a plan that they had said "unlimited roaming services" in North America.
Mistakenly thinking it was a good deal, I got the plan and had a horrible experience. My monthly bill always fluctuated due to their lack of experience, and I had to call in every month to adjust the bill and fix the problem. Now they inform me that they are going to cancel one of my lines and still telling me to pay the same price! Wow. Obnoxious customer service; treating me like their ATM machine! Definitely switching to another carrier.

T-Mobile just sucks. I've been a loyal customer for over 20 years. In fact, I was with them way back when they were Voice Stream and I believe they were PCS-1. Anyway lately their billing practices are very questionable. I always have a 200 some dollar bill now and one time they will say, "Oh that's way too much," and another times they will say I owe more. I always keep my payment arrangements but this one time I couldn't do it and their turning the phone off at midnight really pisses me off. Half the time I can't even understand customer service and I don't think they understand me. As soon as my bill is paid I'm going to another carrier. They don't even seem to care if they lose a customer.

T-Mobile is frustrating for several reasons. The coverage in the US is spotty. Outside US you get only 2g speeds, very slow. Their website glitches and requires you to sign in multiple times. You can't easily view your detailed bill - it is like a hidden treasure they don't want you to see. It glitches all the time trying to download a pdf of your bill, and often it is not even possible.
Customer service is very polite and friendly, but they sometimes miss the calls (outside US) you inquired about getting credit for, and then you end up calling them again and again. Finally, when crossing countries in Europe, their technical side lags behind and their towers do not recognize that you have crossed the border. As the result you are charged $3 per minute vs 20 cents, and have to constantly call the customer service to get this reversed. Glitches and glitches, why can't someone just fix their tech side? Also, good luck getting help from local T-Mobile stores when traveling, esp. abroad - they carry its name, but they have no idea how to fix your network or other problems.

I purchased my iPhone at the New Hartford, NY store from Mitch the manager. It went and Mitch seemed to be very knowledgeable and caring about the customers. Then I started using my phones. My phone coverage was not that great. When I got the phones he informed me and showed me on his computer the service coverage was very good in NYS and the Mohawk Valley. However, I found out there were some spots in Ilion where the phone doesn't pick up and also I get disconnected at times when driving in areas near the Thruway. For example, driving on Rte 5S I lose service from Utica to Frankfort sometimes. It's great on the Thruway but you would think coverage would be much better even near it. Very disappointed by the sellers and T-Mobile service on what they express when it comes to coverage. I had Verizon and they had MUCH BETTER coverage.
Then the store manager said we would get two free tablets for purchasing their services and the iPhones. This sounded great but it was another lie. The tablets cost $25.00 each I found out. Then they informed me I had to sign an agreement given to me from T-Mobile to my email saying I would be getting the tablets. However, when you go to sign the agreement it states you will owe them $288.00. Therefore, I never signed the agreement. Since I will not sign the agreement they will not give me my tablets. The manager tried to tell me that the tablet would not cost me $288 because on my monthly bill the charge would be canceled out. This doesn't make sense. If T-Mobile wants to give out free stuff then give it out rather than lie about it. What a scam! I do not recommend T-Mobile. They may be a little cheaper than Verizon but if you want to put up with poor services and lies then be my guest.

Let me start off by saying I have been a loyal and happy customer of T-Mobile’s for about 8 years until today. Recently my fiancé purchased the iPhone 8 and returned his old iPhone. I received a text stating that we would be getting a credit on our bill. For the next two billing cycles I received bills stating not to pay due to the credit. Today I get a text that I owe $885.50 by January 11. Imagine my surprise. So I call to ask how in the world my $230 monthly bill is $885.50. The representative proceeds to tell me that T-Mobile made a mistake with my credit and is now TAKING IT BACK. Therefore I owe them the money. It took them two entire months to realize their mistake. I prepared to tell the representative that I was NEVER informed that there was anything wrong with my account and I have proof of text messages and paper bills stating that I did not have to pay.
The representative says because T-Mobile made a mistake I will now have to pay $885.50 over the course of 9 months. This would be an extra $98 a month added onto my $230 bill monthly. I continued to protest that I should not have to pay for their mistake. I have paid my bill on time for 8 years. Never had service suspended due to late payment. But because of their mistake I am being punished two months after the fact. I now have to bring a majority of my daughter's Christmas presents back to the store so that I can afford to pay this bill on top of my student loan, rent, car, food, and many other bills. T-Mobile screwed me over and has made me feel like the worst mother of the year. Never will I do business with them again after the humiliation I feel.

I am in year 2 of dealing with T-Mobile, after a NIGHTMARE occurred with BOOST MOBILE. I am at my wit's end! These people are VAMPIRES! My bill is due for payment on the 22nd of each month, has been from the beginning. Well, on the 5th of each month, I begin receiving text messages saying how "Your T-Mobile bill is now ready." OK...THEN, after about a year's service, I start getting bills that I don't understand. Each month, my bill began INCREASING by $20, FOR NO GOOD DAMN REASON! I called CS, after the 3rd month of this B'S. NO ONE could explain to me why there was an increase! I became so irate, that the CS rep I was speaking to, assured me that my bill would reflect a "CAP" and would no longer have charges above and beyond the $147 +change that I was normally paying... OK... So why did I incur these mystery charges in the first place? Still a mystery!
Next problem: my husband and I both opted for the SAMSUNG On5. The sales associate in the store assured me that this phone would be compatible with my SAMSUNG GALAXY WATCH...NOPE! The kicker? The damn thing works just fine with my Hubby's OLD SAMSUNG GALAXY 4, but I was now on the hook for 2 On 5's which do REALLY weird things and are 5MB away from having FULL MEMORY, which they cannot help me to clear out! The piece de resistance is the last time I spoke to a CS rep., I was informed that the damn ** phones won't be paid of for 9 MORE ** MONTHS! I don't think I'll make 9 MORE months, TBH!
So, I call to defer a payment, the automated system chooses Nov 12th for a small amount, Nov 13, for the remainder. I call on November 8th to pay it off, the system, tried to charge me $296!!! My deferred bill + late fee AND THE NEXT BILL, NOT EVEN DUE UNTIL NOVEMBER 22! To top it off, I had speak to a live advisor, because the automated system wouldn't adjust the charges AND THEY CHARGED ME $6 EXTRA BUCKS to communicate with a HUMAN BEING, which is the one capable of changing the INCORRECT charges!
I don't expect perfection in all areas of business. There will be issues! But, how do you openly harass customers over bills that aren't even due, FOR THREE WEEKS! Then, have enough nerve to send sales alerts about new models that I can't even trade this piece of crap in for?! Mystery charges, salespeople with minuscule product knowledge, harassment for payment that's NOT due, and MORE charges, to make sure the automated system leaves enough $$ in our account for us to survive!

I upgraded to a refurbished iPhone 6 Plus on the T-Mobile website in July 2017. I have been a customer since 2011. After getting the phone, I transferred my data and set it up and all was fine. After a couple days I noticed the phone was acting erratic and apps would open on their own and the unit would start calling people in my recent call list and would not allow me to control the screen or the apps including writing text on its own - gibberish, of course. I called T-Mobile and complained. It was a random problem that would happen and then stop. Seems something is wrong with the screen but I could not seem to get the issue across to the rep. I decided to go into the store. I arrived with phone in hand and met with a young man who looked at the phone updated the software and it seemed fine. I explained the situation and we waited around for it to start acting up. It never did, so I left and said I would be back.
The phone once again started to act up in the middle of the night... calling people at random on my recent list - embarrassing. It still does this and I have to shut it off to keep it from taking over. To make a long story short, I have not been able to take it to the store to show them the problem and they never said they would do anything until they could see the issue. Long after the 90 days warranty, I have decided to switch to Sprint who sent me a new iPhone X for a new line and package and tried to give T-Mobile one last chance to make this right and last night they pretty much told me I am stuck with this phone. Sprint is going to pay off the $475 for the piece of junk. But I am really unhappy about how they dealt with me. They should have had someone who could speak English first of all. The reps on the phone had no clue what I was trying to explain.
Second, they should have just sent a replacement phone without making me prove the issue. Third, they could have, on this last attempt, simply given me the same deal as Sprint, but they treat new customers like Gold but their existing ones like crap when an example like this surfaces. Does not make any sense to me at all. I am closing my account next week and while I like the basic costs and so forth, their customer service is terrible and they do not stand behind the products they peddle.

Clearly, the absolute worst mobile carrier when it comes to their Billing Method and Customer Service. T-mobile likes to play games with their "billing due date" process, which is noticeable when a customer enters their on-line site to pay an amount past due. T-Mobile will identify a "past due" amount, which may be accurate but suggests a customer can simply pay that past due amount. However, when the customer attempts to pay that amount on-line, by using a Debit or Credit Card, an entirely different amount is billed to the customer. Such as, TWICE what was identified in the past due amount.
The T-Mobile scam is to PREVENT the customer from paying a past-due amount, and bill the customer that precise amount PLUS another billing which would have occurred in the future month. When the customer notices that scam, by looking on-line and clearly seeing what T-Mobile has done, it makes no difference to place a call to T-Mobile. When the customer complains, T-Mobile simply says they will take care of it -- BUT they don't take care of it.
In fact, when I personally visited my Bank and complained about the T-Mobile (suspected fraudulent billing practice and their incorrect billing), my own Bank official contacted T-Mobile but was met with an exasperating conversation with a T-Mobile representative who abruptly "hung up" on my Banking official. The solution: My Banking official simply disputes the charge in writing, contacts T-Mobile, (receives no response), and then my Bank puts the improperly-charged funds back into my Bank Account. A hassle, of course, but effective.
Just avoid T-Mobile. T-Mobile is well known to have billing schemes and even worse customer service when their scheme is detected. T-Mobile has already received attention by the Federal Consumer Protection Bureau on numerous occasions. It's unfortunate that the Feds have not yet indicted T-Mobile for fraudulent practices, although I'm certain T-Mobile will be indicted soon.

T-Mobile is Satan & Hell all in one. This company is nothing but lies and dishonesty and their service is crap. They gave me service that never worked properly and they never made any efforts to repair the service. Plus the customer service would add things onto the account without my authorization and they would remove credits off the account without my consent making false accusations that I made international calls that I never made.
Also the corporate office make promises that they never keep to give you free cell phone cover and a free phone and credits. All of this crap. Nothing but lies on top of lies. Plus they falsely reported to TransUnion on my credit report falsely accusing me of fraud... If anybody is a fraud it's T-Mobile not the customer. T-Mobile should report itself for being a rip-off company that goes around screwing their consumers. Now T-Mobile wants me to pay $150 that I have no intentions of paying cuz I never agreed to all this crap to have international calls on my service and all this other nonsense. Stay away from this evil T-Mobile company of Satan.

Started Plan with T-Mobile over a year ago. We were suppose to receive buy 1 get 1 S7 Samsung with a 2 year contract. We did all that and were never told that we have to go online and register in order to get the second phone free. When we called and complained because they were charging us they just gave us the runaround. We called a couple months later and a supervisor told us they would fix the problem for us and give us credit for the one phone. Then two months later nothing happened again so we called back and this time we were told they started a special department and would get it taken care of. It has been one year and we are still making payments on both phones. 1 more year and T-Mobile will have lost another customer. They are by far the worse cell service in the country and should be investigated for fraud.

I had a one phone account with T-Mobile for over 15 years. Never had any contact with them, just paid monthly with no changes. Then I wanted to add my spouse's phone to my account. She previously used a prepaid T-Mobile. From my very first call to do this they had a problem because my line plan was no longer offered to add a line to it. So it was my phone only and they couldn't match my rate for my spouse's phone. They came up with a proposal to add the line for a little more than double what my account was. Ie. $32 a month to $70 a month. I agreed and they added the line. My first bill was $89 so I called. They couldn't explain it but assured me the next bill would be the agreed upon price. The next one was $74 so that was close enough. The following bill was back to $89 so another call to them. They couldn't explain that again to they offered a senior plan for $60 and I agreed to that.
The agent assured me that my next bill would be $60 with no added fees or taxes. Next bill $85. I would go for no more lies. These people lied to me 4 or 5 times. When I called to cancel they couldn't understand and was so sorry to lose me after 15+ years. I switched companies kept the same number and didn't hear anything from T-Mobile. So I called to find out what terms the cancellation would be processed and was told that there would be no proration of the monthly bill but that I would be charged a full month. I believe I had just started a new billing cycle like just a few days before. The phone service was fine as I had it for 15 years but the personal conversations I had with their agents were nothing but lies. I wrote this review along with telling my friends of my experience not because of the dollars I lost with this but solely on the lies they tell in every conversation with no explanation for their lies.

I recently converted my carrier to T-Mobile and within a 2 days it was apparent that I will need to change my carrier again soon. Before I switched I asked about number portability and asked what if the number is deactivated for a day. I was told it should be okay, I went to their store and I was told the same thing that it shouldn't be a problem since it’s just a day. After getting the new lines, I was told it might take up to 2 hours to get the number ported from previous carrier. After 2 hours I called their customer service and I was told it can take up to 24 hours. Called again after 24 hours was told another 2 hours, called after 2 hours I was told 9AM EST.
When I called at 9am EST next morning and told them that I am not getting offline till I have my old number. They checked and called my old carrier. Turns out you cannot transfer deactivated number. So I had to pay to reactivate my old number although T-Mobile says they will credit my account with $35 but I think I will have to fight for that. In short the lack of knowledge by T-Mobile customer service representative are amazing, it costed me $35 and 2 days without my number and this is for a new customer.

I have absolutely NO signal anywhere in my workplace, which is a problem, since we use our phones to stay in contact across the plant, and I am basically the only one with such a pathetically unreliable phone.

My mother and I went to the T-Mobile store to see if they could troubleshoot my phone that was having problems displaying images. Though we realize T-Mobile stores generally do not fix phones, we previously had a good experience in which they managed to fix my mother's phone that had a similar problem. We had a five minute wait for an employee to help us. And when she did, Stephanie (I don't remember her name), the associate manager, barely had a plastered fake smile to present us while she asked what we needed today. As I was trying to explain my phone's issues she continued to interrupt me and had the worst scowl on her face. She kept insisting that there was "nothing they could do" because things like this should be handled through the phone's insurance. Personally I felt that she did not even know about my phone's problems since she considerately interrupted me every five words to shoo us away from the store.
My mother is not very fluent at English and the associate manager took the opportunity to cut her off as she tried to think of the right words to use, ironically for the purpose of allowing the manager to understand my situation. At that time, there were barely any customers within the store. Additionally, I had gotten some mild support from their twitter support account about soft-resetting my phone - so much for T-Mobile not being able to do "anything", at least someone over the internet could give some suggestions!
I had enough of her rudeness and just asked to see someone that was willing to help me transfer my sim card over to another phone. The man that helped us was a lot more patient, understanding, and took the time to troubleshoot my broken phone without asking any questions or insulting remarks. The process was efficient and he offered to some phone repair shops around the area that could assist me (even honestly estimating it would ~$200 to fix), but the disrespectful attitude of their associate manager still stings. Her behavior was clearly unnecessary and unprofessional to the point that I would much rather go to another T-Mobile store or switch carriers.

Although, I was frustrated and fed up I agreed and thanked him and hung up just like I did with the other representatives. I called the suppose Collection Agency and it was fake it was the T-Mobile customer service number. So again I got transferred to another representative who connected me with some man not sure if he was a manager but he told me that T-Mobile doesn’t send balances to collections in situations like this. So in that case I’m responsible for my brother’s balance and there is a lock on the phone until I pay it. I am so angry and hurt because the phone isn’t even worth that much money as the balance and if that was the case I could’ve kept my brother's phone with all of his personal stuff in it.
Now I have a useless iPhone 6s Plus that I have here that hurts to see when all I wanted to do was get some money for my family to cover some of the funeral cost. My brother also had life insurance with T-Mobile but because of the way he passed they didn’t give it to us. This was very inconvenient for me I wish I was told since the beginning the actual truth. This is the way they pay back their own coworkers. My brother was so proud working there and if he was here knowing this happened to someone else I know he wouldn’t look at this company the same. T-Mobile is really about “Integrity”.

I contacted T-Mobile today and was advised they have a new policy that began 11/01/2017. Even if you schedule a payment to post LESS than 30 days after due, they will decline all payments to every 3rd party app you have set up through your phone, including Movie Streaming, Games, Google Play apps, etc. I was told I now have to uninstall and reinstall... Lost all my saved info in my apps because of 16 extra days to pay my bill. I told them they should have communicated this new change to their customers or at least when I set up my payment; the rep on the phone said, "yes we probably should have".

I attempted to become a customer of T-Mobile. I decided to go online after finding out I didn't have to turn my cell phones in. This information was given to me in the two stores I visited. The gentleman online said he often heard this. The employees in the store work on commission and the employees online do not. So I enrolled online with the gentleman acknowledging my Sprint contract didn't end until September, that was ok. I was given three sim cards and the cell phone ordered.
Meanwhile I received a bill for $140.00. I thought I was being billed for the phone. I called after my bank account was charged and I was going to be sent a refund. I never received the refund, and I never used this account. Now in September I received another bill for $176.00. I called asking for the $140.00 and why I have billed again this time $176.00. I was transferred eight (8) times and spent over two (2) hours on the phone before hanging up.
The next day I went into the T-Mobile store. The gentleman called customer care. He said a lot of um hmm's which made me very angry. He then hung up the phone and told me they would contact me by letter with an answer and credit if I was owed any money. I then called again a lot transfers and then I was told I would be receiving a check in the mail and the young lady would call me back to confirm my refund in three days. This never happened. I have recently received another bill for a statement credit of $176.00 and a new balance owed for $34.00. I HAVE NOT received a check for the refund of $140.00, $176.00 or $34.00. Can someone help me with information on where I should take this legally. I have been extremely patient and civil with T-Mobile and to think I really wanted to be a customer.

This would take too long to get into, but let's say their customer service isn't what it used to be. They say one thing and do another. Ever since I dropped one of the lines, they keep billing me too much. It might appear "fixed" after speaking to a rep, but when I go back online later or a day, or several days later, the amount I supposedly owe increases, and regardless of who I talk to, or what I'm told, it keeps changing, where I'm being billed too much. I'm glad they don't take it out automatically, or they would go into my checking account and take out whatever they wanted. I could go on, but it gets too involved to explain.

The only good customer service is when they sign you up. Buyer BEWARE!! My spouse and I signed up for the 55 and older plan as it was cheaper than ** and had better data plan. Within a few weeks, after a trip to PA, we found out we had areas of spotty or no service. We went back to the store and were told "maybe it's your phone settings." My spouse had purchased a Samsung phone from T-Mobile when we signed up and the phone was paid in full. After less than a month, we decided to cancel and go with another company. Shortly after that, the Temporary Unlock (unknown to us) that was on his phone, was now locked! My spouse was on travel at the time and was told by the 800# Reps that he would have to go to a T-Mobile store.
When he returned from travel, he went back to the local store where the phone was purchased and the store reps told him he had to call customer service. WTH? I might add, since he was past the 14 day limit to return the phone, they had us in a bind and they would not give an inch for the sake of a happy customer. Promise after promise - calling the T-Mobile 800 number only to get someone in the Philippines and to get a US based agent (they weren't any more helpful) required hanging up and redialing in hopes you would get someone in the US. Rep from Philippines lied and said they would note our issues and contact the local store for us and all my spouse had to do was to go back to the store and they would take care of the issue. Guess what? Store said they had no record of this and "no one called us".
I am not exaggerating when I say I spent at least 4 hours over several weeks calling only to have to explain the story over and over. Finally I got a US based agent, who said she would see what she could do to get his phone unlocked. Everyone told me, including her, that to unlock the phone would take 3-5 business days. Say what? She acted like she was not sure, but she would try to get it unlocked and after about 30 minutes on the phone with her, my spouses phone was magically unlocked. Shameful company!

I am satisfied with my T-Mobile cell service as far as the Unlimited Call, Text and Data plans. However, when it comes to contacting T-Mobile to get an important account issue resolved like getting an "authorized user" removed from your account, T-Mobile never wants to provide their customers with any notes from the call nor do they give us access to the details of what was discussed. For example, I had someone on my authorized user list, meaning they shared the account with me but had their own separate phone. This meant that they could call T-Mobile using my passcode and discuss anything related to the "joint" account. But when personal situations changed, I contacted T-Mobile years ago when it happened and talked to a rep for over an hour to get that person removed as an authorized user. They said it was resolved and recently in 2017 I found out that the person was able to purchase a new phone under my account.
Basically, I had no records to prove that I requested the removal of that person from my account and had to go through this process all over again on the phone. This time, I was able to get SOME notes which were vague, like "an authorized user was removed or added to your account". Of course, they didn't include the specific name of the person so I find that odd and I need to be able to reference details like that in the future. So I wrote all this to express how T-Mobile is stingy with the customer's own information. I never see important notes in my T-Mobile account unless it's something super simple like an upgrade on a device or usage details. Let it be something more important where you ask the rep directly if they can send you a statement or document in writing to prove that you requested something and they always say no. I don't like that but it's affordable right now and cell service is good.

My account was hacked on October 10/2017, and someone ordered an iPhone 7... I called T-Mobile to see what happened and how did someone was able to access my account but didn’t get an answer. I filled out a claim and they said, "48 hours, we will contact you and inform you" and after 20 days nothing has been done. I called T-Mobile and spoke with different representatives and both reps told me 2 different stories, one said investigation isn’t over yet and the other one said investigation is over and tried to blame me and I asked them to listen for the call and how phone was ordered. They said, "The called was answered by one of our partner center and we don’t have access to their records" and it’s been stressful and frustrated especially after I started receiving calls from Kenya. T-Mobile aren’t professionals, they could care less about my private info.

Today I tried to upgrade one of the lines on our TMobile account to iPhone X. It is advertised as an easy upgrade, with a simple monthly payment plan and there is even a rebate for turning in your old phone. Like many other customers I found out that apparently we have to provide a down payment, which is for me - customer with “excellent credit” - is 279.99 - close to 30% of the cost of the phone! When I tried to understand where does it say - on the website or in the promotional emails - that there is going to be a down payment - I was getting nowhere with the customer service, except a confirmation that this is their practice due to rising cost of the device. But they don’t advertise it as such - their competition doesn’t require a down payment after all, so they mislead their customers into thinking they are getting even better deal with TMobile, because of the additional rebate.
This is not TRUTH in ADVERTISING. And when I tried to escalate it - their customer service refused to let me escalate. They told me that I am not authorized to discuss upgrade (account is on my husband’s name, but I am authorized to make financial decisions) and they stopped answering my questions. While I was on the phone with customer service representatives of different types (4 or 5 different people) I was told that down payment is based on the credit standing with TMobile. I asked that they reveal to me based on what conditions they estimate the down payment - they refused to answer. I demanded that they run my credit report - they refused to do that too. They did not disclose to me the conditions that I have to meet to qualify for zero down payment nor do they make this information available on their website or in their customer documents. I am appalled at TMobile and I will be taking my business elsewhere.

I use AT&T now. This past summer, because of their poor spotty connection I was looking to switch. I bought a one month trial sim card from a T-Mobile store to "test and see if I get signal." Well I do not. Not at all. So the next day I returned it, got a refund and thought I was done. Aug comes, I get a huge bill. I called, went through voicemail from hell since no company actually answers their phone anymore, got switched to several people, a few looked up my account and confirmed I have never actually made any calls and in the end was assured it was taken care of.
Well it's Oct 27th now and I got another bill for 115.00. This time I took down names. Got Mark first. Assured me he would take care of it. I said, "Yea, like last time? Please give me a supervisor." Switched me through to another Mark. Who then switched me through to "customer loyalty" and I spoke with Loraine and had to explain it all over. Then she has to switch me over to Ann in customer care, had to explain it all again. She swore it would be taken care of. I said, "Good but I was told that back in Aug."
This time I will file a complaint with the BBB. Just after I finished doing that the phone rang. Leanne from T-Mobile who wanted to find out whose name is on the bill I got. OH MY GOD! I have explained this mess over and over and they STILL get it wrong? The bill is in MY name but I have not made or received a SINGLE CALL with this company. NO SIGNAL. Had the card for less than 24 hours and returned it. I AM NOT YOUR CUSTOMER. And I love how the bill states if I don't pay they may shut off my phone. It's with AT&T so how do they think they can even do that? They CAN screw with my credit rating though which is why I have to keep trying to get them to fix this mess.
Somehow when I bought the sim card I got signed up as a customer and their store clerk never "canceled" my account that I didn't know I signed up for. I THOUGHT I might do that IF the card worked but since it does not, I returned it, got a refund, thought that was that. So she wants me to sit on hold and talk with customer care.
At this point I shout STOP. I already talked with Mark, then Mark, then the Loyalty team, then customer care. And did all this back in Aug. too. Now I have to talk with customer care AGAIN? All the while the calls are supposedly recorded. And yet not one department can forward the problem to the next let alone fix it. She assured me she really wants me to speak to customer care so fine, I say ok. Hold music starts playing in some foreign language and so broken up I can barely understand WHAT language. Several minutes later a voice tells me to please keep holding, THEN I PROMPTLY GET CUT OFF. An hour later and no one has called me back.
So now I'm filing as many complaints as I possibly can. I will keep records of who I did and what was said. And the NEXT bill I get, (and I'm sure I will.) I'll just let go. They will most certainly sell off my "unpaid bill" to some collection company, who in turn will foul up my credit rating. I want printed copies of every complaint form I filled out so I can mail those off to all three credit bureaus when the time comes. Unless someone can actually fix this mess. I AM NOT THEIR CUSTOMER. My phone number is with AT&T. I Never was a T-Mobile customer, never made a single call. Had the sim card for less than 24 hours. It doesn't work. WHY do I keep getting bills and WHY can't they be mandated to hire help who can actually do their jobs? PS, this page wants an order number. I'll put the customer account number that shows up on my bill that I never should be getting. It's not an "order" number though.

The problem has been resolved. After writing this review, I went to the BBB and repeated my complaint. Within 2 days I had a call back and the charges have been reversed. I think T-Mobile is trying hard to make its customers happy and I would definitely recommend them in the future.

I've had a T-Mobile Hotspot account for several years. I used it mostly for travel. Since I didn't use it several months out of the year, I kept it active by paying a small fee each month which included a minor amount of data. Recently I got a new phone (this happened to be with Verizon) which included a hotspot. Since I didn't need the T-Mobile one any longer, I got online and looked for how to cancel my account. I didn't find any clear information. Therefore I called their customer service number, I explained this all to the rep and she told me that the account would be cancelled if I didn't pay it the next month or two. I got the next months bill and ignored it.
When I got the third month's bill saying I owed $60 now, I called again and again explained everything to the rep, she connected me with billing and they insisted that I owed the $60 since I didn't cancel and there was no record of my original call. I tried to explain that my record would show that I never used the hotspot for many months and had been paying all along up to the purchase of the new phone. She said I would be getting a notice. Today I got a demand letter from T-Mobile collections dept. for the $60. This is a ripoff, since it seems the first rep gave me the correct info and/or didn't direct me to where I could find the cancellation info on the website.

I transferred my service from Verizon to T-Mobile to save money and was promised I would be reimbursed by T-Mobile for early termination fees from Verizon, as T-Mobile advertises. After 4 submissions of my final bill from Verizon, two were sent to the wrong e-mail address, T-Mobile informed me that my phone didn't qualify??? T-Mobile supposedly bought my new phone and sold me a T-Mobile phone, only recognized to be used on a T-Mobile plan.
So, now that I have cancelled T-Mobile, I cannot use or sell back my T-Mobile phone. After 5 hours in the T-Mobile store trying to set up a new account, the untrained representatives finally realized they had put in the wrong sim-card. When I finally left the store I only had 1 bar and when I called to complain T-Mobile sent me a "cell spot" which did not help. When I received my first month bill, I found that the credit for my Verizon phone, which I have the receipt for, was never applied to my T-Mobile bill. After numerous calls and talking to at least 50 people, my bill has never been settled.
Oh, and by the way, my Verizon numbers were never ported over to T-Mobile so I was still paying on a Verizon account. I would NEVER recommend T-Mobile and after I get my "final bill" settled, I will never have anything to do with them again. At least half of the representatives I have talked to, either on the phone or in T-Mobile stores, have no clue what they are doing. Maybe T-Mobile needs to train their representatives better before they advertise and make promises they definitely do not keep.

I had gotten a new phone and canceled the plan couple days after because Verizon was cheaper due to being on dad's plan. I had returned the phone and everything and they "lost it". I kept getting billed after I had canceled my plan and was no longer using T-Mobile. I had to go into the store 3 times and talk to them and they still had not found the "lost" phone after months of me returning it. I had finally got a bill in the mail saying they owe me $143.98. They said it would take about 5-7 business days. It's been 2 weeks and I'm still waiting. This is ridiculous!

Initially, I made the decision to leave T-Mobile because of the non-reliable service. During the process of switching phone carriers from T-Mobile back to Verizon, I had to call T-Mobile to have my account "unlocked." The T-Mobile service rep who I spoke with told me that because I did not purchase my phone through T-Mobile, they could not unlock my phone for me. However, the unfortunate thing was that in fact I had purchased my phone through T-Mobile, but they had no record of the purchase. Now today, I am left with my T-Mobile-purchased iPhone box (with their sticker on it!), but because they could not unlock my phone to allow me to use my existing iPhone through Verizon, I had to purchase a brand new phone! In that very moment, they had me and I felt robbed.
As a single parent who lives paycheck to paycheck (and needs reliable service), this felt like a great loss to me. I had to trade in my perfectly fine iPhone 6 for a 7, and now I have an added expense of a new phone because of the incompetent T-Mobile service reps. This level of service, in my humble opinion, is both shameful and inexcusable.

They charged me for service even when my phone was not working and I told them to place the service on hold.

My wife and I were attracted to a plan that T-Mobile has just announced 55+. So we bought two phones yesterday and signed up. My phone had to be ordered. They changed my phone over to their service.

Also the phone was suspended because I requested it to be? and she said she checked my wife's phone number and it wasn't on what I was told. Waited phone. Never came on.
Called back. Told the same story. Was told that I called and said it was lost or stolen? Told to wait for 15 minutes. Yeah! It came on. Tried calling my wife. Right to voicemail so I called her office. She told me she was unable to power up the phone. I told her to take the battery out and put back in. She said she tried to but that it was an unremovable battery? This is great. What if we needed to replace it. I truly believe that we have gone from bad to worse.

1.0 star rating. 10/15/2017. I have never been treated with such a lack of disrespect and disregard. I went into this store for help due to multiple issues with my monthly bill. The two representatives that attempted to assist me were Juan and Danny. After explaining and viewing my billing information and seeing that I was being billed in advance for services "that had not yet been rendered", I was told that "I SEE YOU LIKE TO ARGUE", with an attitude, and that I should call customer service.
They acknowledged the double billing, but since they had a store full of customers they disregarded my concerns and issues and said that it wasn't their problem and needed to contact T-Mobile Billing myself which I had already done month after month. I have never felt so disrespected as a customer and would never advise ANY friend, relative, or a stranger on the street to visit this store. Steer clear of JUAN AND DANNY their only interest is to customers making new purchases and not to help any current customers with other issues. Store location is 5773 University Drive, Ste 32, Tamarac, Fl 33321. Store# (2041).

I was with T-Mobile for the longest time. Never suspected that they would be overcharging me for the data I was getting. $109 a month for one V10 and 1gb of 4g data. Super crappy deal. But I thought nothing of it. Kept the V10 in pristine condition until the infamous LG boot-loop had its way with it. Other than the fact that its own software bricked the phone, the phone was perfect. No scratches, no dents, no cracks. Recently moved down to Central Oregon and after the V10 boot-looped I switched to US Cellular where I'm currently using a V20 with unlimited 4g data for only $80 a month along with much better coverage than I ever got with T-Mobile. A much better deal. When I called T-Mobile to cancel my service, they were extremely rude and unprofessional.
I finally got them to cancel my service and they asked me to mail them the V10. I reminded them that it had boot-looped, meaning that the phone was never going to work again. They said that was fine. They just needed it back so I wouldn't get charged. So I mail them the phone. With a sigh of relief I was assured that my horrible experience with T-Mobile was over. But oh boy was I wrong. I get an email about a week later telling me I have to pay $250 because the V10 was broken and wouldn't work. I called customer service to try and figure out what the problem was. I explained that last time I called they asked me to send in the phone, broken or not so that I wouldn't have to pay it off. They say it doesn't matter and because the phone had boot-looped, that falls on me and I have to pay for it.
So let's recap here. They forced me to pay $250, because a phone they issued me had its own software issue, that is entirely out of the control of the user. My whole experience with T-Mobile was the worst I've ever had with any company, including Comcast! I will never ever use or endorse T-Mobile ever again. If you have to opportunity to avoid this corrupt and mismanaged company, do so as soon as you can. You don't want to be sucked into their **. I'm starting to think they only made me pay because they wanted revenge for me leaving them for US Cellular, a much better run, trustworthy company I feel comfortable with.

I have had a pre-paid service with T-Mobile for over 10 years and got to a gold legacy status where you don't need to keep paying monthly as it lasts a year and my balance was well over $100. Recently when I tried to use the phone it said "sim not provisioned". After hours on the phone with people who can barely speak English, I was bounced from person to person (5 times) eventually with their so called supervisor saying my phone is now inactive and they gave the number away and will not refund me my balance.
Not only is that incompetent but in my opinion theft. I have no contract with them agreeing for them to keep my money and so that constitutes theft not getting my permission. On top of which one would think from a customer service standpoint and to keep a customer (I was not looking to close the service) you would at least provide another number and transfer the credit. I STRONGLY ADVISE AGAINST USING T-MOBILE. THIS HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE FOR THE LAST 1 YEAR of other issues which I put up with now leading to this.
