    Worst company ever. Added a data line that the representative says is only 20 a month but in reality is 75 a month. I tried to cancel the line to save money once and was told that it only costs 15 a month on the new promotion. But that's 15 to have it added to the plan with an additional 75 a month as showed on my T-Mobile account. People, pay attention to your plans or you'll get played like I did and pay extra for no reason.

    I opened T-Mobile's app on my phone to pay my bill. The payment did not go through. I called T-Mobile and asked if they received my payment. The customer service rep charged me again without my consent and my bank paid out my payment twice. I was told misinformation that my bank would find out the problem. No. I called and the bank said they paid T-Mobile twice. Called T-Mobile again. No reimbursement. No payment back in my bank account. T-Mobile is a horrible company with very poor customer service.

    My service was interrupted during a time when all my power was out at my home. So my phone was all I had to reach out. I called T-Mobile 8 times, trying to get help. I kept getting a rude disrespectful guy name Ricki, and a Tonya ** who told me she owned T-Mobile, and that I wasn't going to get anybody else but her. Even when I made 3 payments within 1 hour, my service still wasn't reconnected. All they did was add 40 per line in reconnect fees, and never called or responded to their horrible representatives. T-Mobile is a horrible company.

    Signed up for service with this company but was totally disappointed with the results of their sales talk. We were promised a free tablet when we signed up for service with T-Mobile and the lady we worked with told us that we only need to pay for the tax for the tablet only to find out later that we were being charged $10 a month for 24 months. Then, we ran into all sorts of problems with their service and billing process. We were totally disgusted as it showed the left hand didn't know what the right hand is doing when you call for help.

    So, we decided calling them back in March 2018 to cancel our service. We were told not to worry about returning the tablet and that it's ours to keep. Then, suddenly this month we started receiving bills from T-Mobile again telling us that since we canceled our service, we still have to pay now the balance for the tablet. I could have returned the tablet but was told we can keep it and not to worry about it. I just felt this is misrepresentation from T-Mobile.

Phoned and that was DOWN on weekday morning during business hours. Checked Yelp. Bad reviews. This tells me ALL I need to know about T-Mobile.

    Just lost a lot of respect to T-Mobile. Trying to fix few issues with Note8. Some software questions and connection with Samsung Gear VR problem. I was really surprised when first associate said he never heard about Virtual Reality and Samsung gear. So I ask to let me talk to someone who knows. Four people!!! No one knows! I ask them, where you located (heard strong accent)? He said near Manila, Philippines. All four representatives showing no knowledge, providing no help! T-Mobile got so cheap, hiring third parties from third countries, even they raise my bill $70 without clear explanation (still working on it, not easy). T-Mobile used to do phone trouble shooting remotely, people from Philippines saying they don't have this option. Very disappointed!

    Worst phone company ever! I moved to this country last year and I have never seen such a disorganized and disrespectful company as this one. I had an account with them for one whole year in which I didn't fail ANY of the payments, so I had the "benefit" to switch to a better plan. The last plan was supposed to be canceled, AS THEY TOLD ME, but it wasn't! I started with the new plan but they, without notifying me, continued billing for the previous plan!!! I never received any bill over the mail or anything, not even an email until a COLLECTION company contacted me! Now, I have to pay $596 for something that was supposed to be canceled or my credit will be affected. Definitely NOT RECOMMENDED!!!

    I joined T-Mobile with my friends and family here in New York. Apart from some bad reception and some glitches here and there I didn't really have any complaints. I was only paying $40 and for that I was happy... Until I wasn't. A friend who was the owner of the account moved to London, so I wanted to take the ownership of the account. Well here is where it all began. We needed to call at least 6 times before they said they are moving me ahead as the owner of the account - but that was not the case. I just had a separate account now and my own plan now with a bill of 75%. We called at least 15 times to try to resolve this but in the end I was just put back into the old family plan with my friend being the owner again - right where we started.

    So much energy lost... But when you think everything was just back as we started, they charged me a bunch of fees for their incompetence (because they detached the number and then put it back into the family plan). I am really disappointed in the customer care and how energy all of this needed... And still not get resolved. The family plan is cheap, no doubt about that, but their customer care is really bad. I don't usually write reviews, but this time I just got so annoyed by their incompetence and additional fees for their mistakes. I am changing to AT&T or Verizon, where they actually resolve issues. T-Mobile has to step up its game.

    My name is Rafael **. I've been a T-Mobile customer for about two years and after giving T-Mobile every reasonable opportunity to keep me as a customer I have had enough. On May 5th, 2018 at 7:30 pm I called T-Mobile Customer Support because since October 2017 I have had several issues receiving and placing calls. A massive volume of dropped calls when the communication gets through, and even more problematic the fact that co-workers, relatives and customers calling my wireless number were being taken straight to voice mail; my phone wouldn't even ring as if the incoming calls were never made in the first place.

    Such terrible service morphed into a chain of problems as you can certainly imagine; co-workers not being able to get in touch with me for work related matters, customers being unable to get a hold of me when they needed it the most, family worried at times because they can't get me to answer the phone just because T-Mobile coverage is increasingly spotty, irritating and getting worst.

    I ordered a Signal Booster by phone so that I can get better coverage at my home (at least). T-Mobile Support shipped the booster after arrangements but being T-Mobile, they shipped it to the wrong address. I received a call from T-Mobile support to "help me set up a device" that I hadn't received. The representative noted that the device had been sent to the wrong address, apologized and "corrected" the problem by rearranging another device to be sent to the correct address (my current address). That very same day, little after finishing our phone conversation, UPS showed up at my door and delivered the first ordered Booster (the one that had been wrongfully sent to the wrong address). Two days after, I received a second booster since the Support Specialist that assisted me had placed an order for a second device to be shipped to the correct address.

    Next day, I called T-Mobile to let them know that they ended up (due to their issues with the address information) delivering two devices at my home and that I wanted to return the additional one. I was assisted over the phone and received an email with a prepaid UPS mailing label. When one thinks that it can’t get any worst, T-Mobile somehow finds a way to surprise you.

    Today, May 13th 2018, I attempted to deliver T-Mobile’s additional booster; the one that should have never arrived if it wasn’t because T-Mobile couldn’t get the order sent to the right address in the first place but that somehow showed up sometime after ending my phone conversation with their support. Short before 4:00 pm I walked into the T-Mobile store located at 14834 Pines Blvd, Pembroke Pines, FL, 33028. I was greeted and attended after waiting in line like every other customer. I mentioned that I wanted to return a Signal Booster. Since I had never seen what was inside that second box, I asked the employee to open the box and verify that it contained the unopen/unused Signal Booster before sending it back.

    The box was opened there for the first time and everything was in order. I wasn’t even asked for my T-Mobile account, instead I was asked to forward them the email I received from T-Mobile - “Important Instructions for returning your CellSpot device to T-Mobile”. At that point I thought they were going to work off of the information included in that email. To my surprise, they printed out the label, slapped it onto the Signal Booster box and told me to go drop it off at a UPS store.

    It is unclear to me how a store Manager cannot understand T-Mobile’s own guidelines for a return. Since the email clearly reads as follow; and I quote: "Returning your CellSpot device should be easy, so here are two great options to choose from: Drop the device off at a UPS drop location. Make sure it is securely packaged using the instructions below, and includes the prepaid UPS mailing label provided in the attachment. OR Go to a T‑Mobile® owned or Authorized Dealer Store to return the coverage device. Please remember to return your CellSpot device within the next 30 days so you don't get charged a nonreturn fee of $138.00."

    I’m under no obligation to take the device to a UPS store when the instructions clearly state that I can either take it to UPS “OR” go to a T‑Mobile owned or Authorized Dealer Store to return the coverage device. If the instructions hadn’t mentioned two great options to choose from, I wouldn’t have attempted to deliver it to a store in the first place. Well, the T-Mobile store manager instructed an employee to put the UPS label on the box and have me deliver it at a UPS location, even though I was at a T-Mobile Store already, as if I couldn’t have done that myself at home. How they concluded that my reason for visiting the store was to print a shipping label and then drive 10 miles to a UPS store to ship it out, that’s beyond my comprehension.

    I walked out of the store to the parking spaces and call T-Mobile Customer Support from there. I asked to talk to a supervisor but the support representative on the phone kindly “persuaded” me into having her assist me because she was the person in a position to do so – obviously a kind way to prevent you from talking to a supervisor. I explained the situation and asked about the options available to return the Signal Booster. The Customer Support representative was concise in her response: Drop the device off at a UPS drop location. Make sure it is securely packaged using the instructions emailed to me, and include the prepaid UPS mailing label provided in the email I received. OR Go to a T‑Mobile owned or Authorized Dealer Store to return the coverage device.

    Because I was standing right outside the store, I asked her if she could explain this to the store manager and she kindly agreed. I went back into the store and requested to talk to a manager but I had to wait because all managers were busy at the time. Since the Support Representative had been with me on the phone for half hour, she asked if I knew the store address or their phone number to call them directly. I provided this information and she called in.

    Exactly after 38 minutes, she came back to me on the phone and I could hear in her voice that she was heartbroken. She didn’t know how to tell me what she was about to say: “I called the store and I spoke with **. ** can see you are sitting there waiting for a manager but you need to take your package to a UPS location”. I felt bad for her and even worst for myself. T-Mobile’s stores (at least the one I was in) cannot follow T-Mobile’s own guidelines – those provided in written to their own customers. I left the store at about 5:30 pm convinced that I have tried, in good faith, to return the equipment as stated in T-Mobile’s guidelines, by following one of the options provided to me in writing by email. I Twitted to @TMobile and TMobileHelp trying to bring some attention into this matter, giving T-Mobile thirty days to come pick up the device at my doorsteps else I will have it disposed.

    It seems that T-Mobile is unable to come pick up their device at my place and I strongly refuse to attempt to drop it off anywhere once again after having wasted two hours of my Saturday to no avail, as if they owned me, my time and my money, just because T-Mobile’s employees are incapable of following their own business guidelines and instructions. T-Mobile’s attempt to put the burden on its customer is something that I will no longer tolerate. It has caused me to lose work opportunities, missing in the process important customers’ calls and it expects me to drop off their equipment multiple times when they can’t even come to my door for a pick up once.

    On June 12th, exactly 30 days from now, I will dispose the device if it isn’t picked up at my location by T-Mobile. T-Mobile and its Customer Support has all the necessary information to call me for pickup arrangements. I truly hope they don’t also make the mistake of charging my account with late fees for not showing up at my home to pick up a device that should have never made it to my house if they had done one out of ten things right, especially after my attempt to deliver it at their store per their instructions and their refusal to take it in.

    My family switched from Verizon to T-Mobile on October 27, 2017 as it was a bit cheaper and we were promised a $400 rebate for the payoff of an I7. Twice we submitted the information required for the rebate. Each time we were assured that it is being processed. Today, for the second time, I visited our local T-Mobile store. After approximately an hour of trying to find the reason for the delay, the T-Mobile agent contacted the Reimbursement Department so I could speak to them. First, the agent on the phone informed me that I did not file for a rebate within the 30 day requirement period. I told him that was untrue and, that in fact, I filed twice; the second time an agent at the store filed for me. Then he informed me that I would not be getting the rebate because my I6 and I6+ were not eligible for a rebate. I said we owed nothing on those two phones and was only asking for the rebate for the I7 phone as I was promised.

    He stated that because the two phones were not eligible then the I7 was also not eligible as they lump the three together. I asked why no one at the store or at the reimbursement center informed me of this. He said he was sorry but that is the way it is. I asked to speak to his supervisor who told me the same thing. I felt that I have been scammed. Am certain this has also happened to other T-Mobile customers who must be just as angry as I am. This is a bait and switch tactic that should not be used to lure customers to obtain their service and then rescind the promised rebate.

    I had T-Mobile for almost 9 years, till my new husband decided he wanted one cell carrier so he talked me into switching to his carrier Verizon. BIG mistake. We switched back, after about 6 months to T-Mobile, specifically the Senior plan. $60.00 per month, with unlimited everything. Autopay would bring it down to $50.00 per month. Once, and only once they mistakenly charged us the full $60.00. After speaking with T-Mobile they corrected the problem and it's been $50.00 every month since. I've never had a problem with my 4G. In the past I've had Cricket, Sprint and Verizon, T- Mobile has, by far, been the most reliable and least hassle.

    I was a happy subscriber to Cricket wireless paying only $60 per month for two lines of service. My wife and I do not use a lot of data and we were happy with Cricket in general. Then I heard of T-Mobile plan for those over age of 55. It was very competitive to Cricket and the T-Mobile store location was eager to get my business. I was told of the two line over 55 years of age plan and I signed up for it in January this year. The cost was only $50 with auto pay. I am getting my statements and they are charging me $60 with auto pay. I complained last month and an adjustment was made on my account, but now I am still getting charged $60 per month. I would like to know if the store employee misrepresented himself to get my business or just what?

They also showed me their map of service around the US and my area and said I would have 3G-4G. I bought a 4G phone and NEVER had above 2G. They are a complete joke. My husband paid the bill and canceled with them 2 years ago. They call us 2 years from when we last paid to tell us we owe $78.88.

    I purchased a Note 8 in October 2017. One month later my phone started shutting down completely. It would be off for hours and sometimes days. Then it started hanging up on people and freezing up. I had it replaced 4 times with the same problem. I called T-Mobile customer service and the only thing they did was lie and said that I can go to the store and get the phone replaced with any phone that I wanted at no cost. I called T-Mobile customer service on Friday, I told the guy the problems I was having and how long, he told me that I should be able to get another phone. I even looked up the number to the store closest to me and gave it to the guy, he put me hold to call the store, I found out later that day that he never made the call to the store because I went there and the guy didn't even have any information in the system that I even called and spoke to someone that day.

    I had the same problem every time I called customer service. I don't understand why they would lie to their customers. I didn't ask for my money back. I just wanted a different phone that worked. And every time I got another phone I had to pay some kind of fee, which I feel was wrong. They did a hard reset every time but it made no difference. I have never had problems to that extent with a cell phone company. I am seriously considering going to Verizon. I am highly dissatisfied with T-Mobile, Assurant and Samsung. They all sucks to me. I would tell anyone not to patronize T-Mobile. I will never buy another phone from them again.

    We switched part of our business phones to T-Mobile about 2 years ago to see if they were going to be as good as advertised. Worst mistake we ever made! Worst company I have dealt with in my 40 years of business. We used three phones to start with and an unlimited plan was given. Then they said we qualified for up to 41 free Tablets due to our account. So we told them we would only need four.

    From the very first billing, it was wrong. Then on the second billing, it showed we were paying for the "free" tablets. My wife had to go into the store EVERY month so they would remove the charges for the tablets. EVERY MONTH because they tried and tried to remove them but they could not get the corporation to remove them. Finally, after a year and a half of this nonsense, we paid off the phones, returned the Cell Spot we had to have to even get service in our own home! And went with another carrier.

    That was Nov. 26th, 2017. We are still having to deal with these morons because now they say we have a bill not paid but will not send us an itemized statement, just a large amount. They even said we owed for the Cell Spot we returned, even though the T-Mobile Store and telephone support said it showed we returned it and they received it. We have documents do this fact. Now they have turned us over to a collection agency. We explained to them the situation and they were going to mail us an itemized statement... They sent just a bill without being itemized. So, our next step is to take legal action against them I suppose.

    This is the worst, by far, of any company I have ever dealt with. We have tried several time a month for two years now to get them to communicate between themselves to get this resolved. I swear, I think this is the dumbest run company ever. Now they are going to merge with Sprint?! I hope Sprint is the winner in the merge or there will be only two cell companies to use safely, Verizon and AT&T.

Making me pay til their next billing cycle with no prorate. I talked to Tawnie by phone and then had another question after the fact so I did a CHAT and gotten Sarah... who confirmed on her own she just talked to Tawnie - I didn't say anything different or made any reference to Tawnie - why was I checked? They acted like a victim and I was creating a crime. It was bad customer service which left me feeling tag-teamed with insinuations of other intentions, and again no loyalty or respect.

    It's all about a machine. They can't make any exceptions for any person to make adjustments to the account unless they want to for them - because "it's not personal," that it could be even manually fixed for the situation, not even by a manager. I have to; I'm forced to, to pay until they tell me to exactly when before I can leave... why do I not have this option as a customer on a day that "I" want to leave? They want their full monthly bill, and it doesn't matter if I "port-out" or not port-out. How can they FORCE me to keep an account open like this until they say so, cause of a software that won't allow it? No human is in control is what the excuse is; equals no choice for the customers.

    It also goes in my history with them; them trying to turn my line off and charging me a contract fee cancellation of $400 which I never tried to cancel and I paid immediately and yet they still didn't want to turn my phone on and in order to do so, they said would have to charge me $10 a month for 2 yrs to allow me back into the system which they denied doing but did; because they added the charge name to it as a device charge and denied ever doing this to me. This is true fraud and I tolerated and was too scared to leave in fear they would do worse to my account for this long, and they have. Still charging me to the end.

    Brought my J7 Prime from their other company, spent a week on phone with them. Was finally informed I could not get 4g with that phone. Their solution is to buy same model from them for 250.00. How can they be one of the leading carriers doing like that?

    My friend has Multiple Sclerosis and is basically mentally incompetent although highly functional. T-Mobile sold him an LG Aristo 2 smartphone with their most expensive plan. My friend doesn't know how to use a smartphone. In fact in the 20 years or so he owned a flip phone (which he recently lost, leading to him visiting T-Mobile). He never could learn how to turn it on or off, so it was perpetually on. Well he lost his receipt for the new smartphone or threw it away so although the phone was one day old and in perfect condition a return was out of the question.

    I feel that T-Mobile took advantage of him and that money is the only motivational force they understand. The only consolidation received from this situation is that I told the T-Mobile manager what I thought of T-Mobile and that isn't quite satisfactory. Nor is complaining about a company that flourishes despite all the terrible reviews written about them. I hope Karma isn't just a concept. In closing I would just like to say that if you have a baby and that baby has some candy and T-Mobile is anywhere near you better keep an eye on that candy. You don't want it stolen do you?

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

    It has been MONTHS AND MONTHS and we are still trying to unlock my damn phone. We have been cleared for it several times...NOTHING!! I'm waiting for a mystery email with a code FOR WEEKS NOW!! I have no connection where I work and I must have my phone as we communicate with parents via an app. ONLY I CANNOT and by the looks of it...I might be unemployed before T-Mobile frees me to go with another service. I WILL NEVER AGAIN...EVER SIGN UP WITH T-MOBILE. The customer service was bad enough but now this game whereby you force my business is disgusting!!!

    Updated on 07/12/2018: It took T-Mobile over 4 months to unlock my phones because they have to email the codes to unlock which takes up to 6 weeks. Each phone was done separately and often the codes wouldn't work. Finally, I was able to go to their competitor. Now, they are charging me for the month AFTER I canceled BUT won't let me pay the bill because my PIN no longer works. I have spent four hours today being directed to India or Philippines or wherever the hell their customer service is based and it appears there is no backup plan when your PIN doesn't work. Meanwhile, they continue to try and get my business back. SPOILER ALERT: THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN!! Horrible, horrible, horrible.

    I travelled international for few days and made sure while I was away to use WiFi as much as possible then had the bad surprise when I came back home to find an international data roaming bill for $1300. T-Mobile is a ripoff. They charge you $15/mb for data roaming while other carriers charge only $1 or $2. I would highly recommend reviewing and comparing carrier charges when you travel international as they definitely don’t have the best rates. I contacted their customer service to find an amicable resolution but the only solution they provided is to split the bill payment over few months. Having been a customer of T-Mobile for years, I was expecting a better response and some level of understanding on the issue.

    I just want to warn people that when we found out how horrible T-Mobile’s coverage was, we had to switch carriers, and T-Mobile’s phones (ours were Samsung Galaxy S8s, but there is apparently a chip in them) weren’t compatible with our new carrier, so it cost us a fortune. T-Mobile’s coverage is AWFUL. We were with them for about 6 months. We live in a heavily populated area. My husband is a truck driver. We bought brand new Samsung phones from T-Mobile so our problems couldn’t be blamed on the phones. We had COUNTLESS calls dropped. Important calls, from doctors, from all of our friends and family. And my husband on the road? He would be staring right at a cell tower and couldn’t make a call. Their coverage is nowhere near as good as they claim it to be.

    I would be sitting in a room in our house and a call would start breaking up. I would move to another room and the breaking up would stop. However, after a few moments, back to breaking up again. SO frustrating! I called T-Mobile and they said “Let me refresh the network.” That didn’t work. Nothing worked. I do want to say that the customer service representatives were great. They give great customer service. It’s the product that is defective, not the customer service. No amount of customer service can make up for the amount of troubles that we went through with T-Mobile. It cost us a fortune to pay off the phones we bought on a payment plan with T-Mobile. Since those phones weren’t compatible with our new carrier, we had to eat that money. It was a very expensive lesson. I hope someone can benefit from our experience without having to go through it themselves.

    I had T-Mobile just for five weeks. I cancelled due to poor signals, and I went back to Verizon. I cancelled three months ago, and they still owe me a refund, because my account is overpaid. I probably called about 25 times, and they keep giving me the run around. They tell me check will be sent out, then I'm told I will get a credit on card, and still nothing. I talk to at least three supervisors, and still nothing. I just got off the phone with another supervisor, and she tells me she is going on leave for seven days or so, and she will call me back. This phone carrier is a big joke. I am so glad I left. I never get issues like this with Verizon. I guess one of these months, I will get my refund. I never thought it would be such a hassle and a nightmare.

    I had been a T-Mobile customer for 10+ years and for as long as I can remember have received all notices and bills digitally. I was actually encouraged to do this to save money and go green. My bills were paid with no outstanding issues. About 6 months ago we decided to switch to MetroPCS for their family plan and our phone option needs. It seemed pretty straightforward -- port the number, clear any outstanding bills, and move forward with life. Fast forward 6 months and my credit rating has dropped significantly from one month to the next and as I dig through this discover that T-mobile has sent something to collections. I have no idea what this is as I never received any notice that anything was due!!!

    First I try to access the old account online. No luck. Locked out with a customer service number to call. So next I got to spend lots of time with customer service who could not give me any indication of the bill, send me a copy of it, or otherwise explain what was happening. I will give some praise to the supervisor of the call center who apologized profusely for not being able to help me and herself confused about how this happened and why this had progressed to this stage without notice. But her "hands were tied". Made me go to the store with my ID to have them figure it out. They were confused why I needed to be there. They then have to call the customer service themselves explaining to me that they really do not handle this stuff.

    They give me the "bill" that has a summary charge of $116.54 with no detail what the amount represents or how the got to that sum. It is literally just a total with no explanation. They then hand me some other number to call without indicating who I was calling (just said this is who you have to call). So I call that number to be told that I now have to call a lawyer's office to clear up the matter. The person on this call was abrupt, rude, and unwilling to give me any additional information about what was happening. Are you kidding me? All this for a relatively small bill that I have never seen? This after 10+ years of being a customer and paying all bills?

    Now I deal with the lawyer's office -- the first entity that can actually send me the bill in question. The bill was for $54 for the month after the account was closed. She explained in the fine print of the terms and agreement, I was NOT to get my bill electronically anymore and that is why I was not notified the same way for this bill as I had been all the years before. So even though I paid what I thought was due at the time of porting and tried to clear all remaining items, this original bill for $54 now became $ 116.54. What were the other charges? I don't know because I still have not seen the bill.

    This entire drama wasted the time of an entire string of people all because they could not electronically send me the final bill as they had been for years? The cost of "collecting" this fees is orders greater than a single text alert or final bill reminder ever could!! From my perspective the practices are unfair and the impact to a person too high for this to be a responsible way of doing business. Beware when you port your number from T-Mobile!

I explained to them that it is impossible because I took the SIM card out when I travel. They said they will investigate and give me an answer in a week. They came back and say it legit so I ask them for proof. They say that they can't provide me the proof. The bill is charged because that what it show on the system.

    Nowadays there is wifi for free calling such as Viber and Tango... Would anyone be stupid to call and be charged? Anyway the manager for customer service told me he can't do anything to help me except giving me a credit of $50. I rejected the offer because Don't except the overpaid for what I did not use. Everyone should double check the bill statement from T-Mobile because if they cheated every customer like this they will no longer need to sell anything and still make profit.

    T-Mobile tries to charge me $914 for an account I no longer hold!!! I NEVER EVER want to use T-MOBILE anymore, and I will DISCOURAGE anyone who want to use their family plan. T-Mobile makes it VERY HARD for people to get out or switch plan on their will, for both normal accounts and the account holder! And even when you changed account and plan, they still shadily charge you for your old account! Again today they tried to charge me for one of the account in my old family plan, in which I used to be the main account holder. Now I am no longer in that plan, I already transferred the main account holder position to another guy (btw that took us almost 1 year going to T-Mobile stores and calling their customer service), and I still receive a bill claiming that I have a balance of $914?!!

    I called the guys in my old account, and turns out the money was for one guy's new iPhone X. The "funny" thing is, that guy bought that phone AFTER I transferred my main account holder position, and AFTER he switched to another family plan!!! Also he claimed that he already paid for the phone! So I got charged for a phone from a number that is no longer even under my name! I really really want to leave T-Mobile and switch to another brand. I don't understand how T-Mobile manage their customers' accounts, because at the moment I felt like I am being SCAMMED. For some reason, they keep making me take responsible for my old account, and thus other people in my old account cannot do anything with their numbers!

    Worst thing is, since I'm no longer the main account holder, and the position of main account holder is technically "transferred", I cannot get access to the old account at all! None of my PIN works, I was literally so desperate I had to give my SSN to other people, and even so nothing was solved!!! I called T-Mobile customer service, went to their stores, did everything they asked, what else do they want!!! I'm stuck with T-Mobile because the main account holder of my current plan, for some reason, still hasn't released me for half a year, and I already used my number on many important document such as my resume, portfolio, bank, utilities, etc. That would be a huge pain to just get a whole new number!

    They are completely awful. They won't credit me the full amount they owe me just whatever they feel like it. Which is always less than the overcharge. They owe about $100 and yet are insisting on me paying another $83 to get the heck away from them.

    Years ago I switched from Sprint because my daughter convinced me that T-Mobile had a great deal on plans and phones. I was pleased with both and became a customer. I paid for my daughter's phone, so a couple years later she wanted an upgrade and looked into it. She was told she would be given a $300 credit and it would reflect so in her upcoming bill. Nope!!! Well, they did, but over a two year period she would save on her monthly taxes only. So the change in phones is not really to the advantage of the consumer, T-Mobile will win every time! But keep in mind T-Mobile, you can either maintain the position of ‘indifference’ when it comes to customer service and sales, or watch your customer choose another carrier...there are plenty to choose from these days.

And I still pay every month on time, because I'm a person that hates to be late on any bill. Then, a year later they told me they were sorry and they will reduce my payment to the original amount. They only did it for one month and went back to overcharge me.

    In December of 2017, they offered me a promotion they had in because I was NEVER late in my payments in all the years I was with them, I accepted and got a buy one get one free iPhone 8 to give it to my son for Christmas. After I gave it to my son as a present, I called to activate the phone and T-mobile told me they were not going to honor that offer because someone made a mistake and I if I kept the phones I was going to pay $750.00. I had no choice, but to tell my son I had to take the phones back. After that, I finally decided to cancel my account and change to a different company.

    Well, T-mobile has managed to make the transition another nightmare. Instead of just transferring my phones and sending my final bill. T-mobile refused to unlock my daughter's phone (which was not their phone because I had paid cash for it), and they refused to tell my daughter what to do to be able to use it with the other company. My daughter is in Hawaii in college and was without a phone for more than a week because of T-mobile's refusal to unlock the phone.

    I called T-mobile MULTIPLE TIMES, to ask why they had locked the phone if I did not owe anything on it. I also asked them to tell me if I had to pay the last bill I will pay it. They kept telling me, I did not have to pay, but at the same time, they kept sending emails stating that, they will not unlock the phone unless I paid what I owed.

    I finally called for the 30th time desperate because I could not communicate with my daughter and they finally took my payment and my daughter got the email with instructions to use her phone. I begged them to check to make sure they had my correct address, to make sure I received my final bill to pay it and send it to the new company. They assured me they had my correct address.

    All this happened in January and February, and here we are in APRIL and I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED my final bill. I've called several times to let them know I'm still waiting for that bill. I know they have my correct address because I am receiving their harassing letters of nonpayment threatening to send me to collections for not paying and yet, they still have not sent me my final bill. So, how I’m I supposed to know what my balance is, if I don’t have my final bill????

    I called them twice in the last three days to ask for my final bill again and again. I called again to paid my balance and the only reason I knew what my balance was it was because I received another non-payment letter YESTERDAY showing me the amount I owe, and they have gigantic THIS IS YOUR FINAL NOTICE title, how stupid is that title when this is the first document I see what my final balance is. When I called to pay it, I ask the woman to email me a receipt and my final bill and she told me. ”I'm sorry, but I'm not going to send you a receipt or your final bill because your account is closed and I can't do anything to help you.” This is the kind of service I received from this company.

    I have been a T-Mobile customer for a year and at this point after many attempts to resolve the issues, I'm switching providers. If you call customer service (I've called many times to resolve issues with service and data) expect a minimum 20 minute hold time. Each and every time you call, even to pay a bill a recording comes on that someone will be on the call in an estimated 20 minutes and it's often longer. There are inefficiencies with this provider from long hold times to reach customer service each and every time, to representatives who are in most cases (there are exceptions) unhelpful and the service is just not good.

    I would recommend Verizon, AT&T or probably most any other service may very well provide better service. They said they are updating their towers for better service but in the meantime please T-Mobile teach your reps to not be so snarky unless that is the culture. I've used T-Mobile in the past with no issue but in the past few months there are inefficiencies with very long hold times and then often when the reps get to the line they aren't pleasant and the coverage in many areas especially for data, at least at this point is not good.

    Unfortunately I was one of the people who were part of the most recent T-mobile hack where a stranger ported out my phone number, which rendered my phone unusable and then stole all of my information and drained 3 bank accounts at 2 different banks + a cash advance on my credit card. How did my phone number illegally get ported? I had to go through hoops to switch from Verizon to T-Mobile and port my phone number over when doing so. HOW did someone illegally do so one night? It took 7 hours for T-Mobile to restore my phone and only 1 hr to watch all of my money disappear before my eyes (on President's Day while all banks were closed).

    T-mobile showed very little worry and told me I was the only one this has happened to (which is a lie. It's plastered on their website and in many articles once Googled). Grateful that they got my number back eventually but this has turned my entire life upside down. This happened on 2/19 and now on 3/31 I am still dealing with serious credit issues and ramifications from this. They "gave me" one month free but what is $85 when all of your rent money is stolen?? I was with Verizon for 8 yrs and despite the ridiculous monthly cost, I was always safe. I haven't even been a T-mobile customer for a full year and all of my personal information has been stolen.

It took them four days to transfer my phone number and they told me I had to call my carrier to work out the problem because they don't have permission for 3 way calling. That cost me two hours of phone calls. After we finally got that resolved then I uncovered T-Mobile is having trouble with iPhones texting Androids.

    This cost me 4 phone calls, 2 work tickets and about 4 hours of my time. Their call center was reading from a script giving me a line of bull. I was able to get a CSR to admit that they have known about this issue for two months and many calls are coming in with my same complaint and they don't know what's causing it. They also admitted their managers don't keep them informed on this issue. I took my phone back and the box store associate said T-Mobile is by far their worst carrier and he would not recommend them to anyone. I wish he would of told me that when I bought the phone! Stay away from T-Mobile!

    T-Mobile offered a deal a few months back where you would could get 2 lines for $45/ea., they would pay off any early termination fees and any unpaid equipment costs from your old cell phone company up to $600+/ea, and subscribe you to DirecTV. Great Deal, right?! Well, the contract I received in the mail, and what was discussed with their customer service representative on the phone, were 2 completely different things. Anyhow, 6+ months later, I still do not have a valid contract, nothing was paid for on my old cell phone company (which I am still using to this date! ), I had to have DirecTV come uninstall their service, and I have a $600+ phone bill which they are threatening to report against my credit. Toppers, I have never used a single minute of T-Mobile service!!! T-Mobile is the number one worst company for their customer service!

    My paid for LG K7 was having issues with software. Whenever I touched that "home" button a pop up would ask me to choose my default home choice either "Home" or "Quick Home" or some kind of simplified "Home" setting. So foolishly I walked into the T-mobile store at 6970 E 22nd Street Ste. 120 In Tucson Arizona 85710. I told the salesperson that I needed a "Warranty Replacement" in no uncertain terms. I also informed him that I did not want to finance another phone and considering I had been paying the insurance and their JUMP (Just Upgrade My Phone) on my paid for K7 for at least 3 years having been with T-mobile for over 8 years total.

    I apparently had completely blocked out what had happened several years back which had caused me to have the K7 in the first place, but little did I know I was about to revisit T-mobile's deceptive sales practices AGAIN. After telling the guy what I wanted I also stressed the fact that I didn't want my phone bill to go up even one dollar... I thought this would deter this guy from forcing a new phone finance on me. I left that store with my K7 and a new K20 and the promise that my monthly bill was not going to increase but only for 2 dollars and these 2 devices that I wasn't even sure what they did. It wasn't until I got my bill when I saw that not only did I have 2 new lines of service but I was also stuck with these 140 dollars in devices that won't work on my year of vehicle.

    And true to his word... I wasn't financing a new phone. Apparently I was now LEASING a phone from T-mobile. Within 12 hours I was on the phone with Customer Service in tears because I had been taken AGAIN by their outright lies. At first Cari in Customer Service seemed a Godsend. They assured us that we wouldn't be charged any restocking fee and that the phone could go back under their "Buyer's Remorse" plan but they insisted that I could hold on to the K20 until I got my replacement. They were going to report the store for its sales practices and they would send me my warranty replacement for my K7 ASAP. So between the time I speak with Customer Service and the time they send a new phone, the phone that I was to send back to T-mobile the K7 was stolen from my car.

    Now I use my phone for work doing delivery so to be without a phone would cost me money. Tonya a T-mobile rep told me to just put the replacement phone back in the box and use the K20 until I got back my K7. So I send the K7 back to them. In the interim I tried several times to pay online their 20 dollar deductible. Finally when I did get through a computer automated voice told me that a claim had already been made and hung up. So I'm not getting anything in the mail as far as phones so I call AGAIN. This time and for the hundredth time I told them what happened. No one ever mentioned to me that I had to return the K20 within a certain amount of time. They only assured me that I could use it to work until my K7 came.

    So FINALLY I'm able to pay the deductible... but what do they send me? A K20. And NO ONE can tell me where my K7 is. Also they're saying that not only am I stuck with this phone the K20 I'm also stuck with these 2 WiFi devices that won't even work on my year of vehicle. Having a cell phone is a luxury to people like me who live hand to mouth. When a company you have been paying 100 dollars a month for the past 8 years thinks it's okay to defraud you like this then its time for me to speak out about this abuse. I plan to take my complaint to the Puma County Attorney's Office as well as The BBB. I advise EVERYONE to beware of T-mobile's fraudulent sales practices. I won't quit till some kind of relief is offered.

We told them each and every time that we can't get connected to the server to even get to that screen and they refuse to address it and assist.

And the bank I deal with has provided me with a statement proving that the charges has been made. I even tried to work something out with customer service, but they're giving me the runaround. T-Mobile in all have taken $282.18 out of my account and claim that no such thing has happened even though I have proof from the bank.

    I bought a phone from T-Mobile recently that claims to be military grade. Meaning as the salesperson put it "almost indestructible". So after it a few weeks of having it, the indestructible has 2 chinks in the glass. Now I bought the phone because I am rough on things. So when I brought this back to the same store, same salesperson to be told they will just warranty it. I was pleasantly surprised that they would do that. But when I came back to get my warrantied phone, the store manager refused to honor what the salesperson told me.

    So I was told at the time they would fix it. I would just need to pay the 175.00 insurance cost to get it replaced. I refused and wanted T-Mobile to honor what they told me. So the store manager kept apologising instead of standing by their word. It really makes me mad when a corporation says "I am sorry we can't honor that," and chooses to make the customer pay for its mistake. We are only talking a few hundred dollars in insurance credit, but the store manager refused to take of the customer, me. Now I was raised when you tell a customer something you honor it. If you make a mistake, you eat it. It's called the price of doing business. I am not a new customer to T-Mobile and have had some dealings with some dealings with good customer representatives over the years. But the manager at the store in Rowlett, TX near my home, has really pissed me off. Been a customer close to 14 years. Not anymore.

    I was continuously going into the T-Mobile store in Westlake about problems with my phone slowing down because of using too much data. Joe the manager convinced me since I do Rideshare for a living I should purchase a sync up drive for wi-fi in my vehicle to slow down my everyday data usage. It never made a difference and the price he quoted me would always be lower than I was billed for. This caused me to come back continuously to see what the problem was. I added storage for a dollar a month, just in case that might be a problem. Joe continuously strung me along telling me that the sync up drive would be cheaper because we added my business discount to my son's T-Mobile account and that would offset the price. He kept trying to convince me that it was best to keep my sync up because if I dropped it it would affect the price and discount on my son's phone account.

    One day I told him that I wanted to drop the sync up but I did not want it to affect his commission for the sync up sale. He stated that he will put it in his notes that if I keep it for 2 more months he would reimburse me for it. He also stated that he will check into unlimited data for me and give me a call. 2 weeks went by and he never called. I decided that I needed unlimited data. I told my son to go to T-Mobile with me to do this but I wanted to do this because I still trusted him and thought he was looking out for my best interests. Joe hooked us up with the unlimited data but told me that the sync up which is in my name would affect this account if I dropped it. I have to pay the difference for the extra data so that is why I wanted to drop the sync up because it was not doing anything for me and I felt I was wasting money.

    I received another bill after this that. Joe stated it would be $5.00 Cheaper for direct depositing my payment and it was still the same. I called him about it and he said he would look into it and call me back, which never materialized. That's when I knew I was really being taken for a ride. I went to another T-Mobile at Great Northern in North Olmsted and found out that Joe was being deceiving from the beginning. He should not have been going into my son's account because I was not an authorized user, in the first place. My son's account has nothing to do with my account. Joe has tech. ability but uses it to make sales and takes advantage of people with less knowledge. I don't appreciate that in the least bit.

    I dropped the sync up and also found out that the store Joe is at is not a corporate store. All the time I was going there I thought it was. I will never step foot in there again. I advise all shoppers for their own protection to just deal with corporate run stores. The 3rd party stores are more sales hungry and will take you for a ride. I also would like to mention to T-Mobile that people you have running your stores like Joe have, are, and will continue to tarnish your reputation if you continue to let acts like this to continue.

I further asked the rep to note it on the account. Fast forward, not only I didn't get the proration, I got another bill even though I cancelled well before the next billing period. When I call to inquire why, I was told that I got the wrong info and basically I am to be stuck with whatever tmobile did. Tmobile basically said, "We told you no such thing." And there is no note on the account on the proration. At the end of the day, it is about a small $15. But, they are willing to lie for that amount, I won't trust them again to be my future carrier.

    On March 1, 2018 we decided to leave T-Mobile and port out all our numbers to another carrier. The reason was a coverage issue. We have relatives in DUMAS, TX, where we have to go to the edge of town to make calls. At home in CA we needed a Cellspot to make calls at home (Calls usually drop during handover outside the house). Immediately upon the porting of our numbers I received an email requesting the return of the Cellspot repeater from T-mobile. Every month my bill was around $ 180. Suddenly I received a bill for $ 286.

    Hence, on March 10, I called to inquire about the reason for this. I could not understand the first person (India?) and requested to speak to a supervisor. She (the supervisor) informed me that I still had 1 line active with T-mobile. I told her that this is impossible and to cancel that line, as it is not used by me or my family. She confirmed that she would do that retroactively and put me on hold. Instead of getting back to me, I again got an un-understandable person. I hung up and called again after the weekend on March 13. Spoke to a friendly person named Kevin. I explained again that I had no knowledge of this additional line and that I do not even know that number and do not have a sim card for this, and hence will absolutely not pay $ 100 for a service that I never received. He offered me a $15 reduction, which I refused. This is not about the money. This is about not wanting to get screwed over.

They sent me from person to person with each person doing one small step. I had to explain my situation to each person and give my account number, etc. Ultimately I only needed someone to credit the account and close my account for good.

The transition was difficult and for the 17 months now I have called in 1-2 times a month. At the end of every conversation I am assured that all would be well. Today I called and decided to hear what my rate plan was. Basically what I read on the internet of what my plan was supposed to be was different than what the automated service said.

    So I spoke to the customer retention dept who informed me that I had been on the family plan but that at some point I cancelled one of the lines. Why if I had 4 lines that I wanted on a plan would I then go ahead and cancel one line to only pay for it outside of the plan. Where is the logic in that? I was told that the supervisor would be personally seeing to it that I was back on the family plan. I have little faith in T-Mobile and every month it dwindles even more.

    I had service with T-Mobile for almost 10 years. When I relocated I noticed that the quality of service was horrible. No signal in my home at all (had to use WiFi) and unable to use the phone outside my home until I was closer to the highway. I continued to call T-Mobile and was advised that there were towers scheduled for my area. So I stayed and dealt with it. I had 5 lines in total. After constant calls, complaints, aggravating days, booster boxes were sent that didn’t help. Almost a year later I finally decided to look into another carrier. I switched all the lines to a new service provider and with the change, I traded all the phones for new ones and the new carrier gave me credit and/or Visa gift cards with an amount that the phones were worth.

    Now, two of the phones were such a huge decrease in value I was embarrassed. Here’s why. My husband upgraded to an iPhone 7plus and the phone was snatched out of his hand one day and dropped, causing the screen to shatter. T-Mobile directed me to Asurion and with a $150 deductible, he received another phone- a refurbished one. What had me upset with that transaction was the deductible was not subtracted from the amount still owed for the phone he had prior that was broken and we still had to continue to pay for that phone, which we no longer had. When switching to the new carrier, the phone wasn’t worth as much because it was refurbished and the gift card amount was $37! But T-Mobile charged me over $400 with the final bill sent to me. Plus, one of the lines they didn’t cancel. The line remained open and then went into suspension for nonpayment.

    Now during this time (from September through November) I would continue to call and ask them about the final bill (why I hadn't received it) and when will I see the charges for the service that I had to pay for. Well, I was told so many stories from, the service is in non-payment status so you have to pay the past due amount, restore the service and then request a cancellation (why when I ported the numbers?). Then I was told since I was a customer who opted out of paper bills years prior, I wouldn’t get one and would have to log into my account online in order to see the bill and pay it (well I can’t do that because when the numbers were ported, the online access was terminated). Then I was told I would get a bill but it would take about 2 months because the lines had to be taken out of suspension for nonpayment, then cancelled correctly.

    So the supervisor that I was speaking with at that time couldn’t do it because he was not in customer service. So he wanted me to pay for the service to have it reinstated, then transfer me to customer service so someone in that department could cancel it. "Well, Anthony (that was his name), why am I required to pay for services hag I didn’t use? I don’t understand why I should pay for service after 9/28 when my lines were ported to another carrier on 9/28. It’s not my fault that your company didn’t do their part." He continued to tell me that’s the only way to fix the error. When I asked him why the service charges couldn’t be credited, he explained he was in a department where he could only accept payments, not resolve issues like mine and issue credits but he would note the account and get me to the correct department and to a supervisor.

    Well he didn’t do either. Mind you, he was the 3rd person I spoke with that day and the 7th person I spoke with in total. When he transferred the call, no notes from him so I had to explain the entire situation again. It became frustrating. Finally a representative (while waiting for her supervisor) went through all the previous notes and did the calculations after seeing the errors and said she would issue the credits and give the “system” 10-21 days to send the final bill. So I waited. Now let me also mention that the booster boxes I received needed to be returned. The first supervisor I spoke with explained she would send me the boxes and return mailed but there’s also instructions on how to return them to a T-Mobile store if there was one close. Well, the store is in the same strip mall as the new carrier I changed to.

    So I went to the store, my Husband and my Dad took the boxes, boosters and paperwork into the store that clearly stated the store would take the equipment. The salesman in the store stated that was the wrong procedure. But the T-Mobile document states this is an option. He stated it was wrong and he was the manager. After a few minutes of reading the paperwork (which included the steps that he would need to take), he admitted he didn’t know how to do it and since the account was closed, he didn’t know what to do. So we had to take it to UPS or the post office. Well, now over four months later, I get a final bill and a letter from a collection agency on the same day! The issue now is that the service was credited BUT, the charges for two of the phones that were refurbished are significantly higher than what the new carrier gave me for the phones.

    Now, I don’t mind paying for the service and maybe a little for the phones, but one phone was over $400 charged by T-Mobile the new carrier gave me $37! That’s ridiculous. So when I spoke with the first collection agency rep I couldn’t pay for the phones because the Visa cards were in my Husband’s name and he was working. So I told the representative that we were leaving out the next morning to travel for a funeral and if I didn’t call back that evening, I’d call when I returned home. He was fine with that but I went ahead and paid for the service charges. We calculated them together but his amount totaled lower than mine, so I paid my amounts anyway. When I called back and paid for the phone charges that the new carrier gave me Visa gift cards for and the $37 (totaling $500 for 3 phones) the representative then became rude and told me I had to pay the remaining amount.

    I explained to him that I wanted to dispute that because it was for phone charges for phones that were not new, I didn’t have any longer and we’re charged way too much. Now he said he’d do so but when I tell you his attitude totally changed it was like night and day. I was shocked and I told him that not only was he combative and rude but he was interrupting me and getting loud and I was not happy with how the conversation changed so quickly and I’m too much of a fragile state to have my buttons pushed. It seemed to me that he was saying things deliberately to try and get me upset & argue, which I was not going to do. I was dealing with the death of a close family member, 10 hours worth of traffic and although I was tired and it was late, I made sure I honored my end of the deal and called to make the payment for the $500.

    Now I’m waiting to see what happens when the disputed charges are sent back to T-Mobile. I’m not paying for phones that were not worth what they’re charging. I think this is bogus and wrong business practices. Plus I failed to mention that the fee for the insurance that we had on the lines was not prorated. So even though I switched my service on the billing cycle date, not only did I pay for the current month, I had to pay for insurance for the next month as well. I’m paying insurance for a phone that I don’t have anymore? Really T-Mobile?

    Now let me say, I’m paying more per month for the service with the new carrier. But that’s fine because my phone works everywhere. And I’m handicap so having a phone that works is a peace of mind that I don’t mind paying more for. My husband travels for work and has no issues; my parents always have service, which is great. My daughter also has service on the neighborhood and at school so I can always reach her. T-Mobile has horrible business practices.

    Over 1 year ago my first visit to T-Mobile store, they check credit and I bought a iPhone 7 Plus. They asked down payment and I paid. And added extra $11 per month for upgrades and insurance. They confirmed my credit will increase if I made payment on time. I called them after 3 months and asked why not added Equipment payment to my credit scores, they said it will take at least 6 months. I called them last week and ask upgrade mobile (after 12 months).

    They said I paid only for insurance almost over 12 months $11 per month and I should pay down payment $180 and pay $30 per month x 24 months. They were lied too much. So I paid whole amount and released equipment payment and stop insurance. Nothing happened to my credit score. And they lied me many times. I just lost my money and their service is the most worst in America and around the world because I have been over 20 countries and never ever had disaster service like T Mobile USA.

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

    The service is the worst I have ever had, never have signal at work or at home, texts when at home take 5 minutes to send, sometimes I have no signal at all. After all this I had a lapse of judgment, trying to get the new iPhone X ordering it from T-Mobile. An experience which should have been a good one, buying a brand new phone with your hard earned money, turned into an ongoing battle and honestly being robbed of my money that I have yet to get back (it's been 2 months since I sent the phone back). I ordered the phone in the store, they didn't have the bigger capacity iPhone X at the store so the woman there order it online for me and I was to receive at my house soon, I made a down payment of 554 dollars and after I would make monthly payments.

    I had to reorder it a couple of times after that because for no reason they kept cancelling, I should have taken that as a warning sign but I didn't unfortunately. After like 3 weeks of waiting it finally arrives, the phone was delivered at my house while I was at work, I go to get it, and I couldn't believe what I was seeing, the over 1k phone came in a box just as small as the phone, no protection whatsoever on the inside, the box was wet (it wasnt raining) and it was completely beat up, as if somebody had send it all the way to my house by kicking it, and on top of everything, the phone inside was already on, I could hear it from the outside of the box, the iPhone box was as well wet, the iPhone inside was acting weird and not responsive.

    That was before Christmas, I returned it a week after, a rep on a T-Mobile store told me I couldn't return it at the store since I bought it online. I received an email on 01/04/2018 by UPS that they delivered the phone. I have made approximately 20 calls to T-Mobile about getting my money back, and they all tell me it's about to go into my account, and it hasn't. My original down payment of over 500 dollars and the monthly payment of the phone is still going, T-Mobile is basically robbing me of my money.

It appears to be done on purpose to get me to buy a new phone. Unbelievable disaster as this also happened with AT&T and Verizon wireless in the Sacramento Area. The entire Wireless system is a scam because it is worthless at any price. Calls dropped, phones are overpriced and employees are trained in deception and also on a commission which makes it much worse in deception. They get a bonus if they spin you into their programs, not yours. This creates lots of anger and anger management programs for the local police dept.

    BEWARE. T-Mobile's SyncUp Drive car router. It is defective DEVICE and T-Mobile charges much more for the device and the service than what you may be told about at the store. When I installed it in my 2017 Honda Pilot, it caused multiple error codes on a brand new Honda. I took it to the dealership (on a trip) to clear the codes. After arriving home, more error codes and the service department where I bought the Honda told me the device caused the errors, had blown a fuse and should be removed.

    I didn't notice until several months later that I was being charged $12/mo for the device and a line for the service. The T-Mobile salesman charged me $26 originally for the SyncUp Drive but didn't tell me that they would charge me $2/mo for 24 mo plus $10/mo for an extra line for the device. When I called the support line they told me that I should have noticed the unexpected charges and only took off on month's charges. My recommendation is DO NOT FALL FOR SYNC AND DRIVE.

Today their manager Yolanda informed me that I was not going to get the refund and it was my fault that they don't show it in their system or don't have it. And that I would have to eat the cost.

    We return the phone to them as instructed and we were not told that we needed to get a receipt showing we returned it. Not once did they communicate via text or phone calls that they did not get this during the month of November, December or January. They waited 3 months to now come and charge my account on February 12 an additional amount of $378 that I needed for my rent. I truly hate those guys!

If you include my wife's phone and my children, we would drop at least 25 calls a day. It was terrible and I only had the service for a month. I asked to be relieved of my service and return the phones. I was required to still pay for the phones and was not let out of it. I still canceled my service and had to pay for the phones which cost me a couple thousand dollars. My only advice is to stay away.

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

Somehow, January and February always create a problem. This has happened in 2015, 2017, and this year.

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

    We switched from our previous longtime mobile phone service provider because T-Mobile had a program for unlimited phone, text and data for 2 users that was to be half the cost of our previous carrier (Verizon). We signed up on December 9, 2017. We immediately had dropped calls and areas of no service here in the Leesburg and Tavares Florida area. After repeated problems we decided we could not live with that unreliable service so we switched back to our previous provider on December 14, 2017. They have billed us $88.33 for the 6 days because they are charging for a full month past the time of the discontinuance of our service, or nearly a month and a half.

    We did not call them because it should not be necessary to make calls to get them to provide the service they contracted to provide us. They are claiming that it is our responsibility to contact them and inform them of the problem so they can try to fix it. I stated if that is so then it is just as much their responsibility to contact me to check and see if I am receiving their service and getting what they are billing me for, which of course did not happen. They refuse to agree to any adjustment and of course, they wield all the power to report it to the credit bureau and negatively impact our credit rating. We have the option of formal dispute thru arbitration as per their contract terms but that costs $200.00 to the consumer which is not practical for an $88.33 charge, of which I would have no problem settling for $35.00.

    I just want to warn people of their one-sided practices and their process to shaft the average user while they do not live up to their end of the contract. So BUYER BEWARE before starting anything new with T-Mobile. We have gone back to Verizon at about twice the cost but we have never had a dropped call or area of no service in those same places in Leesburg and Tavares Florida.

    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.

    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.

    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)...

    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 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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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 AM SO DONE WITH T-Mobile! They SUCK! I wish I could give them negative stars!!!

    It has been my experience with T-Mobile that they use deceptive, unethical, immoral and I believe illegal practices and tactics to acquire new customers. In January of 2017 I was promised that if I switched 4 mobile lines then T-Mobile would pay the early termination fees to my previous carriers for switching PLUS I would receive $150 per line to join the 4 lines for $180 per month plan. I believed them. I switched. They gave me $600 for the 4 lines, BUT did not pay the early termination fee to my previous carrier. This resulted in my account being sent to collection and my credit was negatively impacted! I contacted T-Mobile and after speaking with multiple people, including a male supervisor by the name of Renee, I was told they could not combine the two and I would have to cancel if I were unhappy because they would to honor what was promised.

Once I put in my T-Mobile sim and started my phone up connecting to T-Mobile I had all my features except the ability to receive or send media text messages. After hours on the phone with T-Mobile, Samsung and Verizon I was told that I would have to purchase a new phone from T-Mobile if I wanted to start receiving media messages. What??? I was told my phone would switch over with no problems!

    I asked the T-Mobile Tech Specialist if they could issue me a new T-Mobile phone without paying for it and I give them my current phone? No that wasn't an option. I was told if I want to be able to use all my features on my phone I would have to buy a new one or switch to a different provider. This wasn't what the program portrayed to the consumer.

A phone was ordered by the rep in the store and had the wrong IEM number so that delayed my phone another 3 days. They want to replace my phone with a refurbished phone.

    I feel I should be given a new phone because it is not my fault it is past the 14 days. The reps keep saying I have buyers remorse. I do not have buyers remorse. I just want a new phone. If you go into a store and purchase something new you don't want to leave or find out it is used. I have been with T-Mobile 11 years and will cancel this service and will get a refund for the phone.

    I never got the call back in 48 hours from a supervisor or the girl I spoke to so I gave Them a call again.

    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.

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 had a sent a iPhone 6 16 GB phone for trade in of a Costco offer buy iPhone 7 get a $300 MasterCard after device trade in. After the offer got processed they sent me only $218 instead of $300 and when I called them why I received $218 they told me that the trade device is damaged and couldn't process the trade in amount, but the device I sent was working very nicely. After arguing with them on phone for 40 min they told me to file complaint against USPS for damages but not T-Mobile. How I can file complaint against USPS who just delivered my phone. T-Mobile folks are not at all listening what I am saying. They simply arguing harshly.

    T-Mobile state you can bring your current phone to their network. What do don't state is, most other carriers phone do not work well with their network. The promotions in signage appear legitimate, however "read the fine print" is definitely true when dealing with this company. My AT&T phones rarely have more the 3 bars. I often miss text messages and even e-mail. A problem I did not have when my Galaxy S7 Edge was with AT&T.

    I have had issues with T-Mobile from the beginning. Switching my home phone number to their pay as you go plan took almost a week. I had not used the phone in over 100 days they told me. This cell phone and plan was meant to be an emergency backup phone for me so I did not expect to use it ever. Anyway when I called them to see why it stopped working they said they deactivated it. They never sent me any notice that the plan would be deactivated. Be warned.

    T-Mobile's customer service is top-notch. Other companies out of US can't compete. In the past they have used United States-based call centers. That is one of the biggest reasons I support them. If that were to change my expectation of them would also change as non-US centers have been frustrating to work with.

    I was a T-Mobile customer with an iPad for more than six months. My payment was tied to a high corporate credit card. I then purchased a new iPhone X from them. With the same company credit card almost 1k. Now because I bundled the iPad with my new phone and am paying 30 a month more I am a bad credit risk and had to pay a extra deposit. What? Even though my account is still tied to the same credit card. It was good enough for an iPhone X and good enough for my previous account but not good anymore. Who makes these decisions??? Elves?

    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 wonder how they treat their old customer. I am not recommending it to anyone and looking forward to changing it as soon as possible.

    I call T-Mobile "Third-World Mobile", because of the laughable signal service. First, I don't exactly live in a remote area. I can literally SEE NYC from my apartment, but even outside, I feel like I'm in the backcountry. On a daily basis, I literally have 4-5 dropped calls while driving (using hands-free device). EVERYDAY. Then, if I am lucky enough to get a stable connection, I can expect half of that time, the other party cannot hear me! 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. I have unfortunately been stuck with Third-World Mobile for many months, but I plan to jump ship very soon! I cannot even begin to imagine how this kind of snake-oil service is acceptable in 2017.

T-Mobile was right there!!! Clear as a bell. Phone delivered by UPS. Customer service reps so nice and happy. I even thought about joining the company. I once rang a supervisor just to thank T-Mobile for outstanding service. The bills do come in at a higher rate than stated... Sometimes too much. That is my only criticism. But if you feel your bill is excessive they can reduce it or forgive you for a mistake. One cool company.

    We tried to purchase a new phone at T-Mobile local store, they didn’t have in stock so they order for us online on T-Mobile website, when we received the phone it was not working properly so we went to store to return it (local store). They told us that they couldn't received back because this was bought online. (Even though they order for us because they didn't have on stock), that we need it to return by mail, so we did. We received a confirmation of the item was deliver and signature of who received it, this is more than a month ago. Every time that we call to see the status of our credit or refund they said that they haven't find our phone and that it's still our responsibility, even though we have a signature, copy and picture.

    Last time we call on 11/19/2017 the girl that answered said "well we received it but we don't know what was inside the box." Really? We are going to keep a phone that doesn't work.

    Just recently I received a new phone from T-Mobile and they forgot to put the charger in it. Just recently I called them to inquire about getting a charger and also having problems with my new phone because it would cut in and out while talking on it to other people so I troubleshooted it with T-Mobile and they told me that it was probably defective and that I should probably do a warranty exchange. They told me that because I was now a prepaid customer that I would have to send it in first and wait like 5 days and I told them that I got my new phone while I was a postpaid customer.

    A supervisor told me that to save me troubles he would open my postpaid account backup even though I owed $330 and that he would put $150 down and that I would be eligible for a new upgrade with no money down. He opened my account but never deposited anything or even added any notes to it so I was stuck with my phone.

    Mind being back open and with the promise of it being able to get a new phone upgrade and nobody knows anything about it and I've sent talk to like 7 or 8 T-Mobile customer service and supervisors and been lied to, been rude to multiple times and I requested an investigation and for them to listen to phone conversations to prove that their employees lied to me and offered to even pay my phone bill off because of compensation for rude customer service. And every time I call to ask him if they are going to fix it they keep making things up or say they're going to investigate it when it doesn't take that long to listen to a phone conversation.

This resulted in a fraudulent hard inquiry on my credit report with TransUnion. After countless phone calls to T-Mobile, entering many disputes with TransUnion, I was advised that the only way to get the fraudulent hard inquiry off my credit report was to obtain a "Letter of Deletion" from T-Mobile. After many phone calls and being given the runaround, I was told to send my information, identity verification, drivers license, social security number, police report and etc to their legal department. I did so 3 times. Each letter was answered by telling me that any disputes must be resolved by the credit reporting agency. I am still waiting for the letter after 7 months of suffering phone calls and sending copies and letters! Disgraceful! Shameful!

I go into 3 different T-Mobile stores and they all tell me to call customer care.

I had return the signal boosters. They had receive it on November 6,17 and once again I was told that everything was paid off and I should be able to unlock my phone. They had sent me numerous emails that was suppose to allow me to unlock my phone. None in which worked.

    Yesterday, November 14,17 I called T-mobile and was told to wait 24 hours to unlock my phone and not to my surprise I wake up to unlock my phone with the T-Mobile unlock device app and the phone is still locked. It has been over two months of having a locked phone, that is completely paid off. I owe T-Mobile no money, my account balance is zero, yet my phone is locked and I feel helpless because there seems to be no one that can help me.

    T-Mobile is an unprofessional, money scheming company and doesn't show any loyalty to their long term customers. Not one person that I spoke to ask to reimburse me the full amount of money that I paid for the phone in exchange of them receiving the phone, or an exchange for an unlocked phone. Something to compensate me for paying T-mobile for two years only to be stuck with a locked 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.
