Just wish prices were a bit lower. Plans are just a bit higher than I'd like & I don't really like needing to pay the initial deposit every time I get a new phone, even with the JUMP! option. Also, deals are always geared towards new customers, I'd love a loyalty reward for being a valued customer.

I've been with them for a long time. Their price is usually one of the lesser expensive plans and I like that you can stream Netflix. Sometimes the downloads/updates are annoying but it usually makes the phone use better.

The T-Mobile sales/customer service staff have no clue when it comes to canceling an account. They told 5 totally contradictory things on how to go about canceling my account. They did some bait and switches. Told me I could unlock my phone and keep it. That's a lie! They don't unlock your phone even though by law they must! And when they do unlock it- you can only reactivate your phone at T-Mobile or AT&T. That's NOT an unlocked phone! I asked to cancel my transaction when I finally got the real story on my phones lack of future use, they refused. Then once the transaction goes through, they cannot cancel it and credit me back or refund. Thank God I called the fraud department for my credit card and the charge was cancelled. I loathe this company!!!

Switched to these guys a decade ago after Verizon which sucked for billing and customer service and then AT&T which was economical but was always dropping calls. Rarely have a T-Mobile issue and when I do they resolve it ASAP. My rate was and still is the lowest of any other service, I've check regularly.

I had T-Mobile and it was one of the worst experiences ever. Customer care was rude to me. The issues I called about were shoved aside.

T-Mobile, for me is very useful when travelling abroad. Free text within T-Mobile users, free unlimited reliable data especially in Europe. Packets is quite reasonable, though they still have patches of bad service in many places in NY and other states as well. I guess you can't have it all.

The T-Mobile customer service told me I was using my JUMP! to upgrade to a new phone. I received the new phone without a box to mail my old phone back in with. So I called T-Mobile and they assured me that all I had to do was bring my phone to any T-Mobile store and I could hand in my phone. I went to T-Mobile and they told me that’s not the case that I’m paying for both phones and JUMP! was removed from my plan.

T-Mobile sold me a phone w/ an incompatible charger + a defective battery. They gave me the runaround for 2 months but never followed through w/ providing a compatible charger or new battery. I was charged for cell phone service never provided + they never provided a refund for the phone they sold me w/ the incompatible charger + defective battery. After 2 months, they dumped me on Microsoft to obtain a compatible charger + battery; they also gave me the runaround + never provided the needed + correct accessories. Then, T-Mobile required me to return the phone, which was fine, + sent me a defective non-working phone in its place to go w/ the incompatible charger + defective battery.
This was all done while the phone was under warranty + immediately after purchase from T-Mobile. They claimed because they sent me the defective phone to replace the good phone, but no compatible charger or working battery, they had "fulfilled their obligation to me." T-Mobile refused to provide any refund for the phone, charger, or battery +/or for the phone service they never provided.

T-Mobile is an affordable and reliable company. We have had an excellent experience with them in the 2 years we have been dealing with them.

Bought two Samsung Note 8's and an iPhone for my daughter. After three trips to the T-Mobile store, still had the same issue and was not given a new phone. Dropped T-Mobile for Verizon. T-Mobile refused to unlock the iPhone that we had outright purchased. The customer service line is a joke. When asked to be transferred to a supervisor, the same representative attempted to act like she was someone else twice. When returning the phone to the T-Mobile store I bought it from, the manager stated he couldn't waive the restock fee, but customer service said he could. Customer service also claimed they didn't have supervisors or a corporate office. Never again.

I feel very disrespected by T-mobile and I will NEVER ever recommend anyone this service. It’s a huge cellphone company, yet they are very inconsiderate and very unprofessional. Long story short, my brother Adam was a T-Mobile customer service rep, and he passed away on July 13. Since August, I have been trying to communicate back and forth with T-Mobile representatives because my brother still has a balance on his phone therefore we can’t sale or get rid of it.
I was told since the beginning that we didn’t owe anything and the balance was cleared out completely and that we were able to use the phone or sale it. Since they had told me that, I cleared out everything, deleted everything the phone had and reset to brand new. I tried to use the phone and I couldn’t because the balance was still there, for weeks I went back and forth with T-Mobile trying to understand why they lied to me and why the balance wasn’t cleared out. Again, the 4 different representatives told me that the problem was fixed and the balance was cleared and it wasn’t. Now we're in November and today I called again, still remaining calm and respectful and the first representative told me that the balance is now in the hands of a collection agency and he told me that I had to clear it out with them and he gave me the number to call.
Although, I was frustrated and fed up I agreed and thanked him and hung up just like I did with the other representatives. I called the suppose Collection Agency and it was fake it was the T-Mobile customer service number. So again I got transferred to another representative who connected me with some man not sure if he was a manager but he told me that T-Mobile doesn’t send balances to collections in situations like this. So in that case I’m responsible for my brother’s balance and there is a lock on the phone until I pay it. I am so angry and hurt because the phone isn’t even worth that much money as the balance and if that was the case I could’ve kept my brother's phone with all of his personal stuff in it.
Now I have a useless iPhone 6s Plus that I have here that hurts to see when all I wanted to do was get some money for my family to cover some of the funeral cost. My brother also had life insurance with T-Mobile but because of the way he passed they didn’t give it to us. This was very inconvenient for me I wish I was told since the beginning the actual truth. This is the way they pay back their own coworkers. My brother was so proud working there and if he was here knowing this happened to someone else I know he wouldn’t look at this company the same. T-Mobile is really about “Integrity”.

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

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

T-Mobile got me two years ago with their Jump On Demand program, where I could have a new phone every 3 months at no extra charge (just monthly equipment payments). That was fine until iPhone X, where they all of the sudden wanted $270 to upgrade. Sorry guys, you can't change the rules in the middle of the game.

I've been a customer for 16 years. Apparently, they don't really value their customers. I've had some bad experiences recently with them. This would take too long to get into, but let's say their customer service isn't what it used to be. They say one thing and do another. Ever since I dropped one of the lines, they keep billing me too much. It might appear "fixed" after speaking to a rep, but when I go back online later or a day, or several days later, the amount I supposedly owe increases, and regardless of who I talk to, or what I'm told, it keeps changing, where I'm being billed too much. I'm glad they don't take it out automatically, or they would go into my checking account and take out whatever they wanted. I could go on, but it gets too involved to explain. Let's just say I've had it with T-Mobile, and I'm going to get a new provider.

T-Mobile not honoring many quotes from phone representatives regarding trade-in evaluation.

Two months later, I have not received anything but still have to pay for the second phone (including the service fee). I came back to the store and figured out the staff had not submitted my order yet (but he let me pay the down payment for that phone on the very first day).
This time this guy told me he helped me to submit it and I must have got the card within few weeks. I kept on waiting. On Oct 25th, I called the customer service, they sent me to the rebate team and this guy told me there was something wrong while they submit my order. He told me he would mail the card immediately and I would be able to received it within 7-10 days. And today is Nov 7th, have not heard from them yet.

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

The first young lady helping me needed to repeat several times to the T-Mobile staff on the phone: "It isn't necessary to be disrespectful... No need to yell, I'm trying to assist a customer".
The issue was that my phone number had been disconnected during the process and could not be reconnected. Nor could I open an account under another number as I had been assigned an account under the disconnected phone number. After 8 hours I went across the street and got a Verizon phone. Now get this... I am being charged for a phone service that never existed...

T-Mobile is an alright phone company. I have a total of 9 lines, phone and tablet, with them, and have unlimited talk, text and data. I receive a discount because I sign to have my monthly phone bill auto-debited from my account. And I receive a $20 credit for each device that uses less than 20 Gig of data a month. I pay $320 for all lines. My biggest complaint is when streaming radio music while listening, there is frequent buffering, then loss of music. And, there is spotty tower coverage where I live in Lexington Park, MD. There is no such problem where my family live in Texas.

The rep in the store the day we purchased the phones told us it would work in our area. It didn't work within 2 miles of my home. Cancelled the phone lines. I try to turn my phones in and they haven't been cancelled so I can't turn them in. Ghost usage. They tried to charge me usage for the time lapse between when I cancelled originally and when they finally actually cancelled it. I called, they looked into it and there had been 0 usage. They tried to charge me for phones they had! Take care of all of this and then 7 months later find out they sent me to collections for $47 on phones they had!!!
They resold my phone somehow managed to leave my apple account connected. How do I know? Because my contacts started getting calls from my old number??? I've had 5-6 conversations about this issue. Never once was there a mention of this $47 prior to them sending it to collections. I call the collection agency and they say they can't fix it. I call T-Mobile who says they can't fix it either so guess who is paying for a phone that T-Mobile has already resold!!! Me. Screw me. Right?!?

T-mobile was or is offering perks to current Verizon wireless customers to sign up with their service. I signed up as a current Verizon wireless customer because I feel my current VZ wireless bills are a bit steep monthly. I called and signed up very easily after the credit score and fact that I was a VZ wireless customer was verified quickly over the phone. I received the SIM cards but decided to not activate the cards because I decided to stay with Verizon wireless. I called T-Mobile to cancel. Spoke with their customer care and I was sent to the cancellation team. I advised that I did not activate service and my account was terminated. No money owed. This was the end of August.
Two weeks ago I receive a bill in the amount of thirty three cents. I disregarded it. A week ago I received a bill for one hundred dollars and thirty three cents. I called customer care last night. Spoke to a representative. Advised the situation. Spoke with a supervisor because the conversation was not going well in terms of direction about the fact that I never activated service. Supervisor agreed. I was advised I’m not a T-Mobile customer. I asked for a email verification. I have not received one.
I now have a "if you don’t pay this goes to collections" notice. I called again. Twice. Was told transferred to their Texas dept that handles account cancellations. Was told I owe three dollars. I asked Eric who is the rep. Imagine never activating service and receiving any bill. Or confirmation of termination. He had no response. Their center cannot issue an email of confirmation. I received a quick response and email of activation but this is the treatment for nonactivation? Unreal.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Not only is that incompetent but in my opinion theft. I have no contract with them agreeing for them to keep my money and so that constitutes theft not getting my permission.

Worst company, ever! I've been using T-Mobile since for the last 4 years, and it was fine until this August when I had to make changes in my plan. It took me more than 5 visits and numerous calls to customer service to transfer from Simple Choice to T-Mobile One. Reps were unable to change my plan on existing account, so they suggested to open a new account, transfer all lines and then close the old account. They couldn't give me a final statement for the closed account right away on Aug. 17, and suggested to wait until it appears on the system so I can pay the remaining balance.
Immediately I ran into minor issues. At first, instead of the family plan for all lines I was put into a separate $70/month plan for each line, so I came back on the next day and it was resolved quickly, however soon after that I discovered that data on some of the lines was not activated. This was also resolved after I've contacted the customer service. But this is really negligible compared to what happened next.
After the old account was closed, I had no access to view my balance for my old account online and I haven't received any closing statement, so around Aug. 25 I have visited a store and paid the remaining balance. I was assured that there is now zero balance on a closed account, however the only written confirmation they provided was that I have made a payment $28 to my old account.
One month after, on Sep. 22 I have received a statement for the old account for Aug 13 - Aug 18, where I was charged monthly fees for total $40 for the last 6 days before the account was closed. The due date for the payment was on the next day, Saturday Sep. 23. Ok, since I had no chance to pay this bill online I have visited a store on Sep. 27, explained the situation, stated clearly that I want to make a payment to my closed account and paid remaining $40.
One week later, on Oct. 02 I have received a notice from a collection agency that my old account has an unpaid balance. It appeared that they have sent my old account to collection on Tuesday Sep. 26, which is TWO business days after I have received a statement in the mail. The same day I called customer service and I was told that my payment somehow was not applied to my old account, but they will fix it right away.
On Sep. 11 I have noticed that this payment appeared on my new account instead of my old account. I have called customer service again and requested that the payment should be applied to the old account, again I was assured that my request will be satisfied shortly. However, after that, over the phone they were not able to verify that my old account finally had no remaining balance due, because (and I am not joking here) I can confirm my identity with 4 digits of SSN only when contacting them regarding my new account, not my old account.
This forced me to drive to the store again, just to get a confirmation that there is no any balance due on the closed account. My request to provide a written confirmation that their balance of my old account is zero was denied with another bizarre explanation that I will receive this confirmation with the next statement in the mail. So I am not sure, that the story ends here.
Summarizing, beware of T-Mobile, you will see the real face of these scammers if you try to close an account. I have all reasons to believe that their procedure to close an account is intentionally made so inconvenient and filled with tricks and catches for the customer. Never believe their claims unless you have received a written confirmation and keep all records when dealing with them.

I was with AT&T for over 10 years and decided to switch to T-mobile back in August 2017. I made sure that I confirmed that I am getting the $40 monthly plan per line and was assured that my bill will be $130.00 per month and if I paid via auto pay I will be getting a monthly credit of $10 for doing so and that will bring my bill to a total of $120 + the $20.00 monthly installment on the new phone I purchased bringing it to a total of $140. T-mobile have been billing me $170.00.
I went into the T-mobile store on Jericho Turnpike, Queens NY and asked why my bill it $30.00 more than what I was told. To my amazement I was given so many different explanations that my head was reeling and no one can explain the additional $30 fee which is showing up my as additional services and fees. The worst part was that each time I asked for an explanation my bill keeps going up and never could explanation why I am paying the $30 extra. Called customer service and that is even worse. She was worse than the previous 2 Rep I spoke to. T-mobile employees cannot explain their own billing procedures. No wonder they are tricking unsuspecting customers to switch once you that you are screwed...

I joined the Kick-Back program on 6/29/17. This program gives you $10 back for every line that used under 2 gigs of data in a billing cycle. I have a business account so T-Mobile does not allow me to control it manually. Their computer software has to automatically credit the account, which it has not done. Every month I called T-Mobile Customer Service and every month I would get a different excuse as to why the Kick-Back didn't take place. All of the customer service reps that I spoke with could see that I am enrolled in the Kick-Back Program, and they could see that all 3 of my lines used far less than the 2 gigs of data, but none of them had been able to figure out how to get my credits.
Today I was finally connected to someone that could authorize credits but would only be able to get 2 months of credits. Personally I think it should be 3 since I signed up 2 days after the billing cycle for June and the credits are calculated from the prior month and put on to the new bill, but hey 2 months is better than none. However, no one has been able to answer why the Automatic Credit is not working for my account and what the date of the month is that the computer is supposed to figure this out. I'm tired of having to call EVERY month and get bounced around. This the same type of run around tactics that Verizon Customer Service Department used and is the reason why I left Verizon. If T-Mobile keeps this up it will be the reason why I leave them as well.

I ordered a REVVL T-Mobile phone on 9/15/2017 on order number ** and paid 163.20 for the phone. They told me the phone was back ordered, so when I received the phone on 9/28/2017, it was an Aristo phone; the wrong model name. What it appeared is that at the point of shipping they covered up the original serial number designation for the Aristo phone with another label for the REVVL phone. I called them and after almost 2 hours on the phone, they said they would ship me the right phone but wanted me to pay an additional $163.20 for the phone, which I consented to do.
When I received the second phone on a new order number ** on 10/2/2017, they once again shipped me an Aristo phone with the same serial number label covered up with a REVVL label. I called corporate and talked to a Michelle ** employee #** and she told me that they once again would ship me an upgraded phone, but once again, for the third time wanted me to pay an additional $163.20, which I refused. Both phones are on the way back to them by UPS. My complaint is not so much that I had to pay for two phones that were never received, but the real point is that there is fraud occurring at T-Mobile, when a person orders and pays for equipment, because the equipment is back ordered, they fraudulently replace the serial numbers on a totally different piece of equipment and ship you the substitute phone. Because this happened twice in a row, I am not the only customer affected in this obvious fraud case.

After dealing with five T-Mobile stores and countless customer service calls, I will never say anything negative about my 20 year relationship with AT&T again. Like many, I was very enticed by their super low $ bait and switch tactics they use. I tried desperately for 3 weeks to sign up for the 55+ Promotion but they claimed they needed to check my credit so I obliged in lifting the credit freeze I had at TransUnion which is the Credit bureau they initially said they utilized... then it was Experian. I was told four times TransUnion was credit bureau they would use only to be told it after my fifth trip into the store it was Equifax. We all know the issues with Equifax... They don't respond to emails, phone calls or even logging into my Equifax account.
I pleaded with T-Mobile customer service to use TransUnion or Experian to verify my credit and they laughed at me. I realize they say things happen for a reason, truth is I was never meant to be a T-Mobile customer and after reading the reviews on here I will continue my relationship with AT&T... Are they perfect? Hardly but WAY!!! WAY better than T-Mobile. I just want to thank this site and everyone that has written them, at least it gives us some place to vent.

I had been a T-Mobile customer for about 10 years. During that time, I paid extra on my account in order to have a credit balance in the event of unforeseen problems. Well after the Florida hurricane of 2017 I had lost service for about 2 weeks. If I wanted to make/receive a call I had to travel about a mile/mile and a half. When I inquired about the problem after several time I kept being told it was a problem with the tower caused by the hurricane. Yet in my area other phone companies were operating properly. To be fair, I had had some similar problems PRIOR to the hurricane, at first I thought it was my phone BUT AFTER switching and replacing phones the problems continued so this must have been a preexisting problem that was intensified by the hurricane.
Anyway after about 2 weeks without good service and having to travel to make a call I decided to change carriers. I changed to Cricket. When I changed I WAS NEVER TOLD THAT ANY CREDITS I HAD WOULD NOT BE REFUNDED, THE AMOUNT WAS $300.00 and I am denied a refund. T MOBILE is nothing but THIEVES. Nothing but excuses.

So. After arguing with T-Mobile phone reps for much too long, without having anything resolved, and then after discovering that there was an extra 62 pages of our bill, one month, and being sure it was not only one month but every month, it was further researched, and I discovered the following things, along with satisfying my fears and curiosities about the matter.
After becoming educated enough to not allow the people who worked for the T-Mobile company to bully, and victimize, I was able to confidently become more than the chump of the moment for whatever employees may have been taking advantage of the jobs they held, and the availability of personal identifiers of customers. I discovered that there was already, within the T-Mobile Corp, an investigation going on to find out if it was possible that employees were indeed taking advantage of people.
I discovered that, when I contacted the company for consumer issues, those employees who answered the phones were not in any way required nor even allowed to request information such as social security numbers, and personal information. There was a group within the company who were an organized crime ring and they were using the phone contacts to gather the info needed to do everything from petty thefts, to very organized crime. In the long run, T-Mobile nearly went bankrupt, and at one point there was talk of AT&T buying them out, although I am not sure how all that actually went.
I also discovered that the unlimited family plans were being taken advantage of by adding extra people to a plan, without the account holder’s knowledge, so a smaller pocket was adding to the grief of the larger organization. The most important thing I discovered though, was that T-Mobile was still the most usable phone company for my needs and had decent enough services, and that the offerings using monthly account plans were the target, and that the prepaid phone services could not be opened to become vulnerable to the same victimization that the service plans were open to.
And so, we cancelled our monthly account plan, and went to prepaid services. And you know, we have had absolutely zero problems ever since doing that. Problem solved in a way. It’s a way that should not be the only alternative for a consumer to choose, but it does work. And T-Mobile has since, improved their customer service phone assistance dramatically. Good for you, T-Mobile.

T-Mobile's billing practices are very difficult to understand. When you sign up for "Jump on Demand" you aren't necessarily aware that you will pay the quoted amount for 18 months followed either by a balloon payment of the "residual value" vs restructuring monthly payments to cover this amount. When you try to pay these amounts off you find that there is a very brief window after paying your most recent bill balance. If you make payments at any other time they go towards the following month's balance and not towards the residual value. Also, T-Mobile makes a big deal about their unlimited data plans and binge video streaming. They are less clear to point out that when you use your smartphone as a mobile hotspot to project to a monitor or TV (as we do when camping) is limited to 10Gb/month followed by throttled down speeds making service useless.

Don't like that you have to put down payment on phones with more storage capabilities. It should be that the taxes are paid and yet another option, pay it all out in payments...

I visited TMO store 9068 in Fresno to consolidate separate accounts my wife and I had with T-Mobile for 4 years, meaning we overpaid for that service over the period. They put my wife on my account, which resulted in changing her caller ID to my name. This has yet to be fixed. I was then offered a promotion to trade my iPhone5s for an iPhone7 with a 300$ rebate (including trade-in value). I picked an iPhone SE, paid for it in full and was told to go on TMO promotion website to redeem the rest of my rebate, complementing the $36 I got for my trade-in.
That did not work. I found that what I was offered did not match the promotion details. The store actually called me past 7 PM the following day asking me to go there before 8 PM so that they could fix it, since it was the last day of the promotion. They could also not return my old phone and cancel the whole deal either since it was already shipped away. I was promised on the phone I would be taken care of. But after the first day passed, no more follow-up. My letters to the store and to TMO customer service have remained unanswered so far. I am still shocked by this experience, never something I would expect from a company the size and ambition of T-Mobile. I just can't believe that's the way they treat long time customers! Giving them a few more weeks before switching for good.

When thinking about transferring my cell phone provider, I contacted T-Mobile to find out if my specific area had good coverage and was assured it did. Because of this, I chose to include my daughter on a plan with me and switched to T-Mobile. After doing so my daughter lost hundreds of dollars in business when clients could no longer reach her due to no coverage. I chose to drop her phone from the plan because of this but kept my own as I had coverage (for the most part) where I needed it. When canceling her line, T-Mobile customer service told me that we should have never been told she would have good coverage at her location as she was in a dead area and coverage was highly unlikely. They continued to charge my account for two cycles for a two phone plan. Anyone contemplating a switch to T-Mobile should think twice about doing so. The company is a JOKE!

I had a bad experience pre-ordering an iPhone on the T-Mobile website. The first time I placed the order, I had the option of getting next day shipping for free or 3-7 days ground shipping for $6.99. The default option was the $6.99. Of course I selected free shipping instead. Yet after I placed my order and received the email confirmation, I was charged for the $6.99 shipping. There was also a glitch in the system so that my apartment number was not shown on the shipping address in the order details. I called up customer service right away (5 minutes after I placed my order) and they told me they couldn't cancel my order because it's a "pre-order". I had to argue with them for 5 minutes, threatening to file a dispute with my credit card, then the representative finally said "let me talk to my supervisor" and cancelled the order.
The representative then offered to help me place the order over the phone but I declined. I place another order for the iPhone on the T-Mobile website. This time I'm extra careful to make sure the shipping option and address is correct. I double checked before clicking confirm. I get the email confirmation and the shipping was correct this time, but they didn't include my apartment number AGAIN. So it's clearly a glitch in the system, which I suspect is intentional because they want to have an excuse to delay your shipment. I call customer service again. The representative confirmed that my address was missing the apartment number. She offered to cancel the order for me right away and offered to place another order over the phone for me. This time I agreed to let her place the order over the phone to ensure my address will be correct.
I give her all my information and tried to pay for the phone in full. Then she recommended I pay in installments because she says it'll "help me build credit with T-Mobile". I don't trust her. After I've given her my credit card and it's time to confirm the order, she read a long paragraph of Terms and Conditions and somewhere in there she mentioned there is a $20 fee. I asked her what is this fee and she told me they charge $20 to place the orders over the phone. HA. Thanks for not telling me until the end about your fee... I told her I was no longer interested in ordering from her. Or T-Mobile for that matter. I am buying my phone directly from Apple.

I went to change my service about 5 or 6 years ago and was sold a bill of goods that I really did not want. All I wanted to do is reactivate my phone that I had been using. They told me that they should send me two phones. It would be 100.00 a month and that I had as much time as I needed to activate the second phone. Next thing I know is that I am getting billed for three phones at the cost of around 250.00 to 300 dollars a month. But that wasn't the bad part, the phone that they sent me died the first day, so they sent a new battery (was told always start there). Almost the same day the phone quit again, well ok then send us the phone and we will check it out.
Well I live in Fl and was visiting my sister in California and was leaving the next day. So I had to borrow a phone from my sister for the trip home, I am a cardiac patient with 17 stints and need a dependable phone. Long story short back in Florida within a month the new again phone locks up. Meanwhile my wife sees all the problems I am having and wants nothing to do with the phone. It ended up them suing me for over 1200 dollars, I did not pay, I could not pay, and it ruined my credit for years. I was on disability. I still have the original service from probably 25 years now, my wife likes her old flip phone and that's it. The same service that cost about 70 dollars years ago is now about 30 dollars.

They told me to be patient and got the real manager this time to see if they could sort out this mess.
They restored our service and told me they're going to run an internal investigation on my lines to see why this happening. I went through this 4 months in a row.

I was told if I was to cancel my service I needed to do so by the 23rd of whichever month I decided to cancel. So I had cancelled my service and switched to ATT (which is amazing service and customer service), by the 23rd. Of course T-Mobile had no recollection of me cancelling before the 23rd. So it doesn't show that I cancelled until the 27th. So now I owe a remaining amount of $137.80. Which I decided was fine and I would pay off the remaining amount I owed on my device which was $165.99, so a total of $303.79.
ATT (my new phone company) had asked for a specific type of final bill from T-Mobile so that I could submit it to them and ATT would pay off my final bill. I had requested it from T-Mobile. They just kept sending me the final bill for services ($137.80). So ATT could not submit payment due to not having the correct paperwork. So I have been unable to come up with the $303.79.
A couple months have passed and I get a collections notice stating I owe $958.02. I call the collections company and ask "Why do I owe so much?" They say "Well $450 of it is for your final bill of service and another $400 is for the remainder of the device and then collection fees." EXCUSE ME!!! I said "Lady I have my final bill in front of me, I'm looking at it right now, I do not owe that much money." She asked if I was going to make the payment right now, I said "No I am not, because I don't owe that much." She very rudely said "then why did you call?". I hung up and now I'm writing this review.

I've been seeing positive reviews for T-Mobile as far as their coverage for a while now. And after three years with Sprint I decided to switch plans. I brought my own phone to T-Mobile. And told them that I needed an account that would verify with PayPal so I could leave my online store. I was promised by no less than seven people while setting up the account that a no credit check account was the same thing as a regular credit check account. So that's what I did. A week later when it still wouldn't verify with PayPal and I was reading or blog posts I found out that it is not in fact anything like the regular credit check account. So I called T-Mobile and said “What do I need to do to switch my plan to the credit check account.”
I was told to go into the store and set it up with them which I did. Unfortunately the person that was helping me in the store created a new account after the person on the phone had already created account. And unfortunately put in the wrong Social Security number. So the next morning I wake up to my phone being suspended because of fraud. So I contact T-Mobile and say what's going on and they told me and I said “OK what do I have to do to fix this” so they told me to bring my information down blah blah blah. I did. Three times now. Now my phone is been suspended for about a week and a half. And they put a hold on my phone saying that I/O them 23 more payments so they can lock my phone and keep it bound to T-Mobile while they complete their fraud investigation.
Keeping in mind I have taken my information down to the store three times and I faxed it myself once. And also keeping in mind that I brought my own phone and now they say that I owe them $340 for my iPhone. Be very careful.

In a MN T-Mobile store, asked about switching from current prepaid $45/mo with free One5 8 GB phone, 4 GB fast, to buying the Revvl under a similar or maybe slightly worse agreement. Fine print on phone card said $160. I'm not eligible for $125 cost of phone because of plan I'm now under. Can't start from scratch, & sounded like someone switching from another provider isn't eligible. Who is eligible? Usual fast-talking doubletalk have been hearing for 20 years from all the major & not so major companies. Sounded like would also be forced into a particular higher-priced agreement. Makes me wonder what other surprises would appear after signing their fine print. Switched from Boost to get customer service; competent, friendly help in T-Mobile stores.
Last thing I have to say: would be a pleasure to deal w/ stores that don't blast you with loud, crappy so-called music, which causes the salespeople in at least 3 of their stores to yell as if they're addressing a crowd of hundreds. At the Mall of America, you can't escape the deafening roar. The store was so much louder, had to ask my question in the noisy walkway. Alternative is to call customer service & talk to nice people in the Philippines or whatever. With limited English skills. Seemed to be same as used by Boost: still trying to figure out why one guy uses some device that makes him sound like a robot. Guess it's intended to cover-up the fact he's not in the U.S.

I decided to switch from Sprint to T-Mobile simply because the monthly rate was better, and I thought my coverage would improve. I spoke to someone on the phone and ordered this GREAT plan (10G Data, Unlimited Talk and Text and ALL for just $50, T-Mobile will cancel my contract with Sprint and pay off my iPhone so I can use it). The rep said the only catch is that I will need to purchase any phone with them to use for the first couple weeks while they are paying off my old device and unlocking it so I can use it.
So... I do it and pay $225 which includes this device and the first month of plan payment. Next I was to wait for my new phone to come in... Well... The new device comes in and I call the number listed on the form. PHONE CALL # 1 The person on the phone is hard to understand and it sounds like he is in the room surrounded by hundreds of people. Finally I am activated! So I check my new SUPER DUPER plan and it shows NOTHING! No data, 30 messages available and unlimited talk... Hmm that's not what I signed up for.
PHONE CALL # 2, "No problem you called the right person and I will switch you over to the plan you are mentioning." DONE. Now I have 10G of data and the whole nine. I still don't know how they will pay off my iPhone with Sprint since I didn't provide them with any information. CALL # 3 This phone call went on for 2.5 hours and about 4 different departments. I am told that, "The plan you chose doesn't qualify for this promotion," so basically Sprint will send me the last bill and I have to pay for it out of pocket! So I ask, "What can we do to fix this"... "We can put you on a plan that is $70 per month and we will charge you ALL over again the activation fees, we will not reimburse you for the other plan at all."
How could you charge me for your mistakes? After that they simply couldn't figure out how to make this right, which is shocking to me. You can't put me on this new plan that I am willing to pay EXTRA $20 a month for and basically not charge me activation fee that I already paid 7 days ago for a plan that I will NEVER use? After speaking to many departments I was close to crying and all they offered is to give me money back for the device (I think its $120-$160 out $225 I paid).
So at this point T-Mobile cancelled my Sprint service, transferred my old number, and NOW they are canceling with me as well, so I have no provider and I am to pay for something I have never used + pay Sprint for canceling and paying off the device. We are talking about $800 dollars. I was in shock and I refused that option because that means I'm without a phone! So I hung up and called Sprint asking them to put me back on their plan, and now I am hoping that after explaining this situation to my credit card company they will resolve this issue and help me get the money back from T-MOBILE. I am so amazed that a phone company can't resolve their own mistakes and if that's not bad enough put you in a situation where you need to pay lots of money to resolve it, not to mention the time. STAY AWAY!

T-Mobile is the most incredible company of life! I have been with them already for 2 years I regret ever joining them. First of all, their coverage sucks among south Florida, even with their wifi home booster it sucks. They claim their coverage is everywhere but it's really not. There's slow internet and some of the call fail all of the sudden. Also the fees they have against international calling is out of this world. I had called to Colombia about 24 minutes and they are charging me $72.00. I mean I know they must charge something because I didn't have the international calling added but come on 3 DOLLARS PER MINUTE. Are they nuts!!!

I asked a sales person for price and they asked a few questions and I was given a price higher than my current service. Then I started getting messages that my credit was checked. I never filled out a credit report or was advised that my credit was checked.

I was with T-Mobile prepaid and their service just would not work for me. I could never call, text or get the data to work. I called them numerous times and they were of no help. They kept blaming the SIM card and even after I replaced it I still kept having the same issues. So, I was kind of forced to switch to a different carrier just to get my phone working so people could contact me again. I had $96.00 dollars in my account and tried to get them to reimburse me for them. There was no way they were going to do it. I even asked to speak to a supervisor but he was of no help. He was completely rude, unhelpful, and hung up on me. Avoid T-Mobile at all costs. Their customer service is horrible!!!!

The worst company. Do not believe their promotions! They will do everything what they can not to pay your money back! Hello there! I bought 2 phones Samsung Galaxy S8 "buy 1 get 1 free" in May 24th. Store's manager said I have to purchase 1 phone and another one. They will change monthly and then refund me in a few months. And I added one line as requested. Sales person gave me paper how to redeem it, I filled it up online.
First two months I was charged even for two phones and now just for one. When I called first time in August 24th to find out when I get refund representative told me that I'm not qualified for that promotion because I purchased one phone. I should buy two of them on monthly payment basis. I did everything what I was said in the store (Bayonne NJ), I paid money and now your company telling me after 3 months that I'm not qualified. I'm really disappointed because for my money what I PAID I got issues.
