    I signed up for 3 phones (at the time there were 2 year contracts). Kept the phones for the 2 years, but after the 1st year, I needed a new phone. They never told me when you get a new one, you are signing up for another 2 years. The service was TERRIBLE and too expensive, so after many discussions with them, I took my business elsewhere. T-Mobile sent me a final bill totaling almost $600. I assumed it was the bill including the 1 contract I broke (since the other 2 phones on the account never got renewed).

    After about a month, I received another bill showing I owed $1100. The bill never showed why I owed that much, and even when I talked to them, they could never fully explain the charges. Just said because I broke my contract. (On one phone - $175 fee.) Now after a few years T-Mobile has gone insane and is reporting I owe them $1775!! They've gone mad! I recommend to NEVER go with T-MOBILE EVER!! Unless you want ridiculous charges for bad phone and customer service.

    Be careful switching your cell phone pkg. The old saying is the grass greener on the other side. Well the damn grass was completely dead. I switched to T-Mobile. They told me my device would work on the service no problem so I switched on 16 Jan. From that date till 31st of Jan. I had nothing but problems maybe one good day. They sent me a booster for my home that did not work so on the 30th I decided to just go get a new phone from them 217.00 dollars. Worked good. Service all day. Sunday night a new phone decided to go haywire. Tech dept. at T-Mobile said, "Well sorry you just got a bad phone." Have to return it. Get another one.

    Well I decided at that point to jump back over the fence to Verizon. Should never left. T-Mobile was offering it appeared to be a good deal. Well Verizon had a sweet deal also to switch back. Got cell coverage. No dropped calls like T-Mobile. In my opinion talk to Verizon if you're considering leaving. They will work with you. I know some have the T-Mobile service and you may like it but it did not work good for me, in my opinion I would not recommend them. Oh I forgot. Half the time I could not send text or pictures. The service was not good. Also I returned the defective phone. They were going to charge me 50 dollars restocking fee for defective device, the saying is if it's too good to be true it is. THANKS VERIZON FOR THE GOOD SERVICE AND WELCOMING ME BACK.

    I was a customer with T-Mobile about 4 years with the rates becoming expensive. I decided to Change to another cell phone provider. Contacted T-Mobile customer Service to close account, was told that I currently had a 100+ dollar credit on the account and that I would be receiving a refund check in the mail the first week in January. They stated if I received a bill to discard it as the account was closed and I had a credit. About a week later I received a bill for $36 for the account in question so I discarded it and was wondering where the refund of my credit check was.

    Well now it's January 27 and I receive another past due bill for $64. I immediately contact customer service. Transferred through about 4 different representatives to basically be told that when they closed my account that the next billing cycle was open and that I had to pay the bill and late charges. They would not admit that their representative gave me bad information on the account balance and the fact that there was no credit to the account. I asked if they could waive the late fee for January since I was told that my account was paid. The representative said they could not do that. I asked how I could have verified the account balance and they said I could go to the store and check it there.

    Basically I feel the rep lied to me about the closing balance so they could stick me with a couple months late fee's. Since I terminated service they're unwilling to attempt to do anything and say if unpaid it goes to collections and on my credit history. I paid the amount and asked rep how I know that my account is truly paid in full and I was told "Because I told you it is". Truly comforting since that what they told me two months ago and now I'm shelling out $64 to keep them off my credit report. Beware if they tell you account is paid and verify account is paid in Full.

    My family and I have been T-Mobile customers for well over 14 years now and as the years go on, their service continues to deteriorate. It's a rare occasion that I encounter an informed and friendly representative on the phone. I have spent 20hrs+ on the phone trying to get my bill explained to me correctly and get my questions answered in the last year... Calls to them should be 15 minutes tops unless you are looking at new plans or anything of the sort. They are rarely able to fix my actual problems with my bills and I just get so fed up and tired of talking on the phone that I give up. I usually don't have a short temper but the amount of times I have lost my head dealing with them is countless. They treat you like an idiot and argue with you even when you are right. When they are wrong, they don't admit it and they just push the focus onto another topic. Untrustworthy.

    I have been lied to multiple times in stores and on the phone about bill questions and bill projections for new plans. Don't trust them when they tell you all about a great plan that will give you adjustments or credits each month and if you do, be ready to have it be incorrect all the time and have to call T-Mobile every month when your bill comes out. The customer service reps try to argue with you about your plan with "alternative facts" (just to poke fun at the controversy going on in the media right now). T-Mobile leaves much left to be desired on the customer service front and have recently said that they are working with their business tech or some team on the "known problems" that I've been facing with my bills. Hard to believe anything will change.

    Corporate is lazy and does nothing. All the reps can do for you when they can't solve your problems are escalate the situations to their higher ups who still don't do crap. T-Mobile gets me the best deal for exactly what my family needs but the headache really isn't worth it. Will be looking out for a cell provider that can meet my needs but until then, T-Mobile it will be. So much more to say but just no more energy to continue. Hope that this gives you the slightest idea about them. T-Mobile has worn me out and given me grey hairs.

    They don't even deserve one star. Last October my wife took advantage of the iPhone 7 promotion. She was told that she would receive $45 for her iPhone 5s and would receive an additional credit of $30 per month for 24 months. Credit was to begin 2 months after purchase of phone. Initially there was no mention of any requirement to switch phone plans - not a word.

    Now after three months of waiting for credits for return of 5s and towards bill, they are not finding any return of phone and telling us that in order to receive the $30 credit we have to switch our plan that will cost us more than we pay now and cost includes the credit. So bottom line is that the increase cost of plan will pay them back the "credit" that they say I should be receiving. This company is a joke and people lie all the time in order to get your business. And I've been with T-Mobile for 15 yrs, shame on me!

    T-Mobile sales reps came to me with a promotion of Free Samsung galaxy on 5 phones. After one month I discovered that the phones were not free as there was an EIP plan for the phones to be paid for monthly. They also lied that the data was unlimited and never slows down. All they needed was a sale. Truth is that there is no free promotion with T-Mobile. My bill was to be $100 monthly but first one came $263. Moving out of T-Mobile after 26 days. Never recommend it to anyone. When you hear of promotion from T-Mobile please it is pure lies. Run away else you will regret. Bye bye T-Mobile after 3 weeks.

    I switched from another cell phone provider to these crooks. My reception was the worse - text messages would go through, bad reception, the problems went on. The customer service woman couldn't hear me when I called her to complain. I paid for the third month for the $25 announced in the store, because I had to keep the phone on in order to transfer to another provider. They would turn my phone back on. When I called, the man lied to me and said that $25 dollars plans were no longer in place (lie - they were announced in all the stores) and I had to pay the full amount of $42 like I had before. I paid for the full amount and twenty four hours later I called and asked for a refund. The woman on the phone told me she couldn't refund. Luckily I had paid with my credit card. I called my credit card company and they got my money back through the disputes department.

    T-mobile always like give you a wrong bill. If you can't find it and they win the money. Why do they never charge me less? I don't remember how many time is it T-mobile make wrong bills. But every time they charge you wrong and you contacted them to tell them it will takes at one hour to explain and spend another hour to wait their response. Then T-mobile will tell you they will fix the next bill. At next bill, I found the problem still there. Then repeat the process again. The only difference will be the rep will tell you it need 2-3 bill cycle to fix it. Before t-mobile fix it, you need to pay the extra bills. When does t-mobile fix the problem. Nobody knows even their employees.

    It looks like is a good Company because Plans are cheap but data is still expensive and phones are ridiculously pricey. Signal coverage is real bad. It drops constantly and even in open places signal is lost and people can't hear you. Asking for too many Rights on your device. If you choose get your bills by mail, bill comes too late I mean with just the 10 days before due day. Customer Services is very good.

    I have had the worst experience with T-Mobile and their customer service reps. They lied to me when they came into my office with their "promotion". They said I would not have to do anything to transfer from the carrier I had to them. And that was a lie. They said they would pay my last bill with the last carrier and anything that was owed on the phone that I had and they lied about that too. My last phone was worth more than the stupid rebate they want to give me. My phone was $700.00 and want to give me a rebate of 300. Total cons and frauds!!! I am so NOT SATISFIED WITH T-Mobile and all the idiots working in the customer service dept. they never answer the phones they put you on hold forever and if you hang up and call back they make notes and make you wait even longer. I HATE T-Mobile!! I regret ever changing to their service.

    I have the same experience as the gentleman below. It is illegal, it is a scam, and they've messed with the wrong person - will be taking legal action!! I've been to T-Mobile over 10 times in the past 3 months to try and solve this issue. Each time, they have 100% assured me the problem has been fixed and they are terrible sorry; however, NO CHANGE was made and I was completely lied to.

    I was convinced to open 2 free lines during a Black Friday promotion. Also running at the same time was a free tablet promotion - open new lines and receive free tablets. My bill was not expected to go up at all - my normal amount was $170. I was skeptical. I asked tons of questions, I asked what the catch was. "Absolutely no catch!" I was assured, given personal phone numbers, and tons of documentation. 3 months later, my bill has been constantly $70 more than it is supposed to be. I paid for SIM cards and NO tablets ever came. The "corrections" they offer me actually cost me money!! This sounds an awful lot like the illegal activity Wells Fargo was engaged in. Open as many lines as possible by lying and through the cost of the consumer, illegally. Take notes, T-Mobile, I WILL NOT GO QUIETLY.

    I encourage everyone to find a better phone company if you currently have T-Mobile. If you are looking for a new service T-Mobile is not it. I have read some of the reviews and I do agree with some of them. Their service is terrible right along with their customer service. When you have to call 3 TIMES for an error to be fixed then there is a problem. Yes, the error for each month was attempted to be corrected, but I don't believe it was fully corrected. After all the trouble, it's not worth arguing with them because they let employees make silly errors.

    Prior to that I was lied to by 2 different people and when speaking to the manager, she wasn't very appreciative of her customer at all. Yes, I asked for a credit for the inconvenience because I had to call 3 TIMES for the same error to be corrected. The only thing that they could mention was that they fixed what was incorrect, well that's what I was told the first two times. So a week later, yes my phone bill is late, but how can you trust them? I go to make a call to retrieve information for payment and my lines are turned off. Okay, cool.

    I asked for a representative and of course they want your money so they weren't helpful. Since they waived a fee in 2016, they cannot do it for me today. Do I believe them? NO! Well if I can remember correctly, this was done towards the beginning of 2016, but that doesn't matter. They are more worried about their money than their customers. They would rather lose a customer than to assist them with removing an $80.00 charge of restoring fees. At this point, I am annoyed and getting ready to cancel as I mentioned on the phone; I also asked what it requires, I was told and the rep threw out there the balance of my phones, like that was to scare me away from canceling.

    I know that I am a customer service supervisor and I could do better than this manager did this morning. I am going to continue to write bad reviews like I continued to get the 2 calls per day like anyone harassing someone would do. Do not sign up with T-Mobile because this is not the first time that I have had troubles with T-Mobile. They like to give you the runaround and their service is terrible. It's sad that Straight Talk is better than T-Mobile. T-Mobile puts more money into their phones than they do their cell towers. If I don't receive a call after this review then it will show that T-Mobile does not care about their customers.

    One of the phones on my line screen went black and wouldn't turn back on so I call T-mobile and because it was a malfunction I was told I would have no charge since it was covered by warranty then they tell me that they would have a phone ready tomorrow anytime after 4:00 pm so the next day I go and to my surprise the phone wasn't there and the Employees have no idea what I'm talking about. I go the next day but before I made sure that the phone would be there this time by calling tech support after over 20 minutes of waiting on hold and tech support making sure the phone was there making it seem like it was rocket science or something; anyway I get there and they charge me 5 dollars after I took the time out of my day and wasted my gas to go drive over there, T-Mobile decides to charge me 5 dollars? Yeah it isn't really much money but the point is I shouldn't have been charged at all. Ridiculous.

    I've been disconnected from T-Mobile for about 2 months now and last month they didn't take any money from me but yesterday, they withdrew $54 from my bank account and I'm not even on auto pay with them (since I was on a prepaid plan with them). They never sent me an email or text, they just basically robbed me and that money was for my insurance bill that I have until 2 days to pay! This isn't the first time they've taken my money from me either. I've lost a total of around $60 or more because they didn't want to refund me or anything and when I tried calling them to get this straightened out, it said I had to reactivate my account which I don't want to of since I have a new cell phone provider! This is just highway robbery to me and I'm sick of having to deal with T-Mobile even though I don't use them anymore!

    Yesterday my problem with T-mobile ended thanks to a very kind representative by name of Ashley. She looked up my account she verified the promotion from January 2016. Unlike all the other representatives from the store, on the phone, even a corporate representative denied having a promotion like the I said in January 2016. They made me feel so violated and disgusted like I was out to cheat them. Well, I did plan on leaving T-mobile in August but thanks to Ms. Ashley I'm staying. She restored my faith in T-mobile again she was so kind and understanding everything that a customer representative should be. Funny thing is I called about my new bill cause it went up and she felt my frustration and she asked to explain what happened in the past for me to be so disgusted with T-mobile. She automatically looked into it and verified everything I saying she proved that I wasn't lying about the promotion and that the store representative did cheat me he sold me the 2 iPhones on the regular sales price. Well Ashley give some credit for it she did the best she could and I will forever be grateful and I will forever remember Ms. Ashley ** because customer service is not what it should be. Most of the representatives are trained to lie and scam, cheat they don't care all that matters is to make sales and get a high commission for it. They have no dignity but Ashley is different she told me she knows what it's like to be a customer and she wouldn't want someone to cheat her like I was cheated. She is 1 in a million T-mobile is very blessed to have her they need to give her a bigger position like training people, to be honest. Anyways I'm very happy with the outcome to thank you, Ashley, for restoring my faith in T-mobile again. And for everyone out there who's had a bad experience with T-mobile or any other company I hope you meet someone like Ashley cause it means there's still hope for great customer service.

    A year ago I saw a promotion online on for iPhone buy 1 get 1 half off. So I ran to the store, I asked the rep if the promotion was still available, he replied yes. So I went ahead purchase 2 iPhone 6s plus, I put down $791 and made monthly payments on 1. So in early December I called to pay it off, the rep told me that I was leasing the phones and if I want to keep it I have to pay $263. Well I got upset because when I was buying the phones the store rep didn't tell me that. Yesterday I went back to the store. I spoke to the same rep who sold me the phones. He said I didn't get any credit because I didn't purchased the phones on any promotion. I told them to look it up, both the manager claimed they don't have the access to do that. I called customer service, they added insult to my injury by offering me $20 and I rejected. She changed it to $35 that made it even worse.

    This morning I called corporate. The rep wasn't much help. She said she looked up all the promotions for 2016 and there wasn't a buy 1 get 1 half off. I am so disgusted with T-Mobile. I feel like I was robbed. I know 100% that promotion was there but she said I didn't have any proof so she can't help me. I pay T-Mobile $252 a month and my boyfriend has an account with them so he pays almost the same price. We will be taking our business somewhere else.

    T-Mobile violated me. Why must you lie and cheat to make money. My neighbor hates T-Mobile, now I see and understand why he hates it so much. It's a shame I thought they were honest. They trained all their employees to lie. They don't care about the truth coming out because most people don't read their paperwork. Well I learned my lesson. I will never do business with T-Mobile again and I plan on telling all my family and everyone else who has T-Mobile to take their business somewhere else.

    I transferred my phone number to T-Mobile because I was traveling out of the country and wanted to have internet. They promised me I will have internet with no problem, and they also promised me that by switching my phone number with them they will pay off Sprint, and I won't have to worry about my last bill or whatever cancellation fee they were charging me.

    First, when I was away I didn't have internet because my phone had no service approximate 25 days out of the 30 days. Second, it has been 2 months and almost 3 months, and I still haven't received the money to pay to Sprint which was approximate $925 due to canceling my contract with them. It seems every month my bill comes way higher than what they promised me. I will never recommend T-Mobile to anyone. They do not offer what they promised me. Worst customer service there is.

    I am stuck with a higher bill every month, still paying Sprint bill and without the money they promised by trading my phone and IPAD. I feel this is completely unfair and the company is taking advantage of myself and who knows of how many more people out there. How can T-Mobile run this kind of business? I completely trusted them.

    About a year ago my wife and I joined our T-Mobile accounts and arranged with representative to have all her info and payments transferred to my account. When I said ALL charges to be transferred it was confirmed by the customer rep that this is all done and we have nothing to worry about. About 7 months later my wife gets a phone call from T-Mobile that she missed last 6-7 payments for her iPhone and it will go to collection if she does not pay back due amount. She right away told them that she will pay all of it but was told that she needs to call different company to make payment because that's the way it should be done. My wife being a good person she is, she never questioned it and called company that had her set up a payment plan.

    Few months go buy and I do a random check on her credit report and to my total surprise there was a collection agency account. It turned out that incompetent representative never transferred her iPhone payments to my account and T-Mobile never called to let us know but just sent it into collection WITHOUT NOTICE!!! By the way if T-Mobile supervisor gives you their ID#, it does you no good because for some FUNNY reason nobody can track them even when you reference their ID#.

    When purchasing 4 phones as a family plan, I was told I would pay less than $200 a month, $30 per line, plus about $60 in equipment, that's about $180 monthly. When I received my bill, it was for $260.74 a month. Nobody can show me a breakdown of my bill that explains this price. The salespeople in the store tell me I have to apply for rebates, and that will take the price down closer to $200 a month. I called customer service and they allowed $30 in rebates for bringing 3 lines from other carriers, but cannot apply those rebates immediately, It will take a couple months, I'm told.

    I just received my second bill, and it is for even more than the first, I suspect that charge was for insurance I selected for two of the phones. It seems they can process additional fees rather quickly, but not rebates. I want to pay what I was told I would pay. Apparently some others I've spoken with have had similar experiences with this carrier. I guess they can tell you whatever they want to get your business, but there is nothing in writing, just a bill that comes later that you cannot change.

    I had been with Verizon for almost 20 years so switching to T-Mobile was a very hard decision and turned out to be a painful-frustrating process. I did not get the promotions I was quoted over the phone. I called them multiple times invested multiple hours. Customer service just really didn't seem to care they could see the problems but they said their computer just wouldn't let them fix it and give me the promotion and monthly phone rates that I was quoted so now I'm stuck paying a bill higher than I agreed to. Extremely frustrating I feel like they scammed me which I would not expect from a company as large as T-Mobile and I have never written a complaint my life. I'm not that person.

    I recently went in to a T-Mobile store to purchase a new phone. When we went to the counter the representative asked us if we wanted a screen protector and a case for our phones. I explained that I thought their retail prices too high and I would be buying elsewhere. The T-Mobile Employee then told me that both the protector and case would be free. I asked, "How was this some sort of sale for getting a new phone?" He said, "It would be." We proceeded. At the end of the transaction my wife, always double-checking everything, asked for our monthly payment. She knew what it should be, but we were told something way higher. We asked what was bringing the payment up. We were adding phones, which should have been X, and dropping their Jump! program which should have lowered it by Y.

    It was then, when he had no way of lying, told us it was the screen protectors and cases. It was "free today" but "bundled" in to our monthly payment. This is the opposite of FREE or FREE TODAY. Out-of-pocket, yes. No down, sure. Pay nothing today, fine. But FREE isn't the word. I would have thought this a one time deal, if they then, different day, different store, different person, did this to my hearing impaired mother-in-law who is on my account, and that's where I take extreme offense. She's deaf, and it's strikingly obvious. Usually, when people talk with her, they try to be very concise, but this other sales rep did the same thing and tricked her into getting a case and protector for "FREE". So, beware of T-Mobile and their new sales tactics of telling you things are free, and just charging you later for it.

    I have an iphone & have no service most of the time. If I wasn't in a 2 year contract I'd just not pay. I make trips to California often & in a 6 1/2 hr drive I don't have service for a total of 3 hours. I switched from Sprint because it was supposed to be cheaper & better & it's not either of those things. I hate T-Mobile.

    Unbelievable! I have been with T-Mobile for 14 years. Had to get a new phone because mine was not working. The replacement I received was not working either and I noticed a crack in the screen. When I called they told me all of their phones are inspected and pretty much told me I caused the crack and I was not being truthful. I couldn't even see the crack until I was outside in the sunlight and happened to be holding it at an angle. They refused to help me. The person I talked to was very rude and unaccommodating. So Verizon here I come!!

    I have been with T-Mobile for over 3 years and I have spent the whole time, from the time I switched from Metro PCS to T-Mobile to the present. When I did, the first thing that happened was I had to give up unlimited data on two phones in order to keep the same basic amount of money I was paying Metro PCS the same (around $130-135) with T-Mobile. What I got was 2 LG L90'S for $228.00 a piece. One with unlimited data and one with 1G of high speed data. I was perturbed that I couldn't get the same deal for $20.00 more plus tax since I was financing both phones for $10.00 a month a piece, but the price for both phones unlimited was much higher! I'm on fixed income. At the time I switched I was getting $710.00 a month. I get a whopping $735 with the cost of living increase I've received the past almost 4 years that I've been getting SSI. (No increase last year and a generous $2.00 from Obama this year.)

    The other thing that went wrong with the switch was the first act of incompetence. The rep that sold me the phones took the SD CARD out of my Metro PCS phone without un-mounting it first, causing it to corrupt the new phone! I went through 4 re-furbished phones that were worse than the one that I had! Finally I DEMANDED that they send me a brand new phone instead of sending a re-furbished one. And got one.

    Long story short, I have had many, many, MANY MORE PROBLEMS! I finally got fed-up with glitchy LG phones! So along comes a PROMO for buy three lines of unlimited data with 14G's of WI-FI Hotspot per line and get a 4th line free! For only $150.00 a month! Well I fell for it??? And I decided to take a chance on financing a Galaxy S7 which the rep jumped right on! Only $30.00 extra a month! I'm thinking that with tax my bill would be around $190-$200.00 a month. WRONG!! I think my first bill was close to $400.00.

    The worst part was that T-Mobile had a promotion going which was "Buy a Galaxy- get a Galaxy, any Galaxy for free, just pay taxes!" And the rep didn't inform me of the promotion! And I bought my S7 on the last day of the promotion! I've been trying to get one since! I just made my first payment arrangement this month. I would've had to make a $44.00 payment on the 17th and a $177.00 payment on the 31st. A couple of nights ago I called customer service and-get ready, reported that I have had problems with my Galaxy S7!!! Specifically the fingerprint sensor-which will work for a while, then becomes unable to read my fingerprint, forcing me to use the pin number! I've had to erase the fingerprint- re-record it 3 times now.

    And the Galaxy health app which reads my oxygen level, heart rate and stress level with a sensor next to the back camera, had quit working and I had called Samsung Support and they taught me how to put the phone in what's called the "safe mode", leave it in that mode for 30 to 45 minutes then restart it- which allows the phone to fix itself. I did exactly what I was told to do, and the app started working again. I was told by the tech dept. that a lot of other people were experiencing the same problem with their Galaxy S7's fingerprint sensors as well!! Why isn't this on the news?

    I was told that Samsung is currently working on new software and that I am going to be placed on a list to be among the first to receive the update. Hopefully before even the pin number stops working as well!! Which I was told by the same tech rep was what was happening to other S7 owners when the fingerprint sensor quits working altogether!! Causing them to factory reset the phone! I am SICK AND TIRED OF BEING ON THE PHONE WITH CUST. SERVICE ALL THE ** TIME!!! Seems to me that with 4066 top reviews of T-Mobile being mostly horrible experiences- and after many lawsuits- something would be done about it!! Anyone else out there that could offer advice would be appreciated???

    I've been a T-Mobile customer for a few years. They recently debited over my billed amount from my account. When I called CS, the rep (Ralph) informed me they did overcharge my account and they could not refund my money, but I could use the overpayment as a credit towards my next bill. When asked to speak with a supervisor I was informed she was busy, so I didn't get to speak with a manager. I asked for the disconnect department, the rep was nice but she didn't fight for my continued service. No "we'll refund your acct", no type of saving resolution offered. So ultimately I have disconnected my service and I'm going elsewhere. I would not recommend T-Mobile because I wouldn't want anyone else having monies stolen out of their acct like I experienced.

    I was a customer of another phone company for almost four years, never late on payments and it only took one time for the customer service people to annoy me and I changed to T-Mobile. I was very happy with the early termination fee BUT once approved I found out online it states within 24 hours for the cyber MasterCard and 4-6 weeks for the plastic card. I waited three days and finally called and was told by T-Mobile customer service that is AFTER 25 days of having a T-Mobile Account. The 'blah blah' speech about a new system and upgrading with correct information but I will have to wait 25 days and then 24 hours after that.

    IT IS NOT ON THE SITE AND I WAS NOT TOLD when I called in once before. Now I will finish out my time with T-Mobile because I am sick and tired of poor customer service. Just another show from what I thought to be a reliable company with good customer service and I was mislead AGAIN. T-Mobile - you have so much on your site, with sales pitches, etc., why can't you put the truth out there???

    I went to T-Mobile for a promotion that included a free line of service and I upgraded two lines, in which I traded two phones for the credit. The salesperson told me my final bill was going to be $261 every month. When I received my first bill it came up $385. I went to the store again and was there for two hours, they called headquarters and went through my plan right in front of me, and told they made a mistake and everything was fixed. They charge me only $220 for the first bill supposedly because of my troubles. Second bill came again now $353 plus they the balance transfer of the first bill since they said I did not pay the total amount.

    Mind you I have direct payment so I can get the discount. I'm tired of calling to fixed the issue since they only give you the runaround. I told them I never agree to paid almost $400 per month for service since they never gave me any prove stating what they told me my bill was going to be is my word against them. I feel taken advantage of and a sense of impotence since I don't know what else to do. If I don't paid they would ruined my credit, someone needs to do something. I don't recommend T-Mobile and if you are planning to upgrade or get new service get written prove of the amount you are supposed to paid, so if they try to overcharge you, is not just your words against theirs.

    I have been a customer with T-Mobile for over 10 years. Several months ago I purchased an iPhone at the T-mobile store in Fort Myers Florida. The clerk offered me a "free" tablet. I asked him what the catch was. He said there was no catch, but I would have to pay $10 a month for 6 months for service. I contemplated not taking it, because we only use apple products and it wasn't really worth $60. I ended up taking it. Recently I called T-mobile to discuss adding an additional line and I just happened to ask how much longer I had to pay on the tablet. I thought I'd have 3 or 4 payments left. I was shocked to find out that I had to pay $10 a month for 24 months. I found out that they get a commission for each tablet they sell at the store. I was totally lied to. When I spoke to someone at the customer loyalty department, they basically told me they were sorry that I'd been given the wrong information, but they could not do anything for me.

    T-mobile customer service stinks. I generally don't have a reason to go to the store or call customer service, but over the course of 10+ years, every time I've called it's been a hassle and I hang up still frustrated. The reason I decided to write a review is I feel that lying to a customer to increase your sales is totally unacceptable and when brought to the company's attention, and being told "too bad" is just pitiful. I gave them one star, because I couldn't give them zero stars. T-mobile and I will be parting ways. I would use any other cell phone company other than T-mobile.

    I have been marketing my business for weeks using my phone number front and center for contact by possible new clients. So today I find out from an email from a former colleague that some guy is answering my phone and says he doesn't know me. So it seems T-Mobile has been my forwarding calls and voice mails from my phone number to another unrelated phone number. How is this possible when I didn't ask or want for this? Did some random employee punk me anonymously? I never set up the forwarding and never intended that my business calls go to a complete stranger. Is it possible T-Mobile is just too big that it can no longer manage the needs of a small business. I feel harmed. I feel duped. I am angry I wasted so much of my time, energy, and money trying to growing my business that didn't have a chance to work because of T-Mobile's negligence forwarding my number in error.

    I paid my cell bill timely and in full and I deserve better care, service, and treatment from this company just on general principle. It is so obvious that T-Mobile doesn't care at all for their customers. The two phone calls I had to make to T-Mobile to try to sort this out (The first call T-Mobile nicely disconnected me after leaving me on hold for 22 minutes - a good way to escalate things, wouldn't you say?) is also proof of their lack of regard for customers. I feel so angry about such poor service and bias, poor customer service and lack of even meeting minimum expectations of adequate cell service - receiving calls.

Another month rolls around (no discount) and we were to try renewing again. See a pattern here? Then next month rolls around - same crap about it showing up on the next pay cycle. Called today as the next bill came out once again with no discount and they told us to renew again. BEYOND frustrated with them.

    When I shipped my old device back after receipt of the new one, I received a trade-in value of less than full amount in the form of a statement credit (around 25% of full value)... And I continued getting bills for payments on both phones since I was on a monthly payment plan. So, effectively I paid 175 % value for a new phone + use of the old phone for a few months.

    When we switched over to T-Mobile, it seemed like a great deal. We were promised the same bill amount every month and great coverage. LIES. The actual cell service was awful, calls were constantly dropped, and on top of that our bill climbed higher and higher every month with hidden fees and customer service claimed they had a right to add fees any time, regardless of the fact we were promised that would not happen.

    We got tired of the ever increasing bill, so we decided to go to ATT. They had a great promo running, so we traded our phones to them and got a switcher offer. We then contacted T-Mobile to get a final bill to send to ATT. It was $750. We sent that in, then several weeks later we got a notice saying T-Mobile sent our account to collections and that our final bill was not $750, but $2200. They claimed we went several months with an unpaid bill (lies), and then tried to charge us the full retail amount for our phones even though they were very close to being paid off.

    November 20, 2016 at T-Mobile Store in Utica, Michigan. Like many marketing strategies, T-Mobile had a promotional offer for additional two lines for free with extra two devices (cell phone and iPad) which you pay for $328 & $239.99 respectively. You get statement credits for the devices each statement bill. Our original plan was the family and friends plan with 6gb data plan and unlimited text and call within US & Canada. According to the store representative, we only have to pay one time for the two SIM starter kit which is for $40 and add $10 extra for the two lines on our regular monthly subscription. Our regular monthly bill was for $112 which we expect to only change to $122 with the extra $10 for the upgrade to T-Mobile One plan. As told by the representative, the new plan has unlimited text, unlimited data and unlimited call in 150 countries.

    Canada and Philippines are among the 150 countries that we can utilize the unlimited calls. Upon receiving our bill for December 2016, it was very upsetting to see the bill was for $613.43. According to the billing statement, the total bill was for a recurring charges of $233.44 and international calls for $379.99. We would not use the international call service had we known about its per minute charges. We called at least four times since no one could provide us with a satisfactory explanation and empathy on the sudden high surge of our monthly bill.

    As we spoke with various associates, we received different responses. For example, we were told by the customer service representative that because of our upgrade, we should only be charge $0.20 cents per minute for international calls. Next, I found out that they also charged a separate bill on my bank account for $21 & $63.40 which was not reflected on our T-Mobile statement. What's it for? So when We asked about it, we were told it was taxes for the devices we bought that were not disclosed during the purchase of the devices at the store. The representative then told us that we don't get the $0.20 cents per minute for international call instead we should pay $1.99 per minute since the plan does not cover discounts on international call.

    There are three root causes of our poor customer experiences: First, the misleading and deceptive marketing offers. Second, the pressure on sales representative to sell the offer or meet their goals that forced them to sell without disclosing important details that could impact long term relationship with their customers. Third, the miscommunication between billing department, marketing and customer service that translates to poor customer experience.

    We are cancelling our T-Mobile service, after all our queries and complaints no one offered the best alternative nor even respond to our request to help us with the bill since there was obviously a miscommunication to what the promotional offer should be. T-Mobile uses a switch and bait marketing where if you don't want the service, you're going to pay the whole cost for the device and end up like you have a two year contract just to get the statement credit for the device that you paid for.

    The no contract advertising is false, don't get overwhelmed or too excited with some promotional offer. In addition, if you want to go back to the old plan, it is no longer available but they'll offer you with something you have to pay extra. This company is all about numbers and not about building a long term relationship with their customers. Unless they changed their strategies and build a stronger support for these impactful division or department, it will be next in line to go downhill.

On Dec 26 I got 2 emails that the shipping labels for the orders was created. I followed the tracking the day after and saw updates on one of them but not the other. On Dec 28 I received one of the phones (the free phone, because the color was different) and still no tracking updates on the paid phone and new line, so I called T-Mobile. And since Dec 28 till today Jan 5 I have been calling T-Mobile daily, went through all the different departments from sales to customer service to loyalty to everyone and still can't get a solution.

    They exhausted all the excuses in the book: "we still have time for shipping" or "the color is not in stock till Jan 3." I waited and called on Jan 3. They said the order might have been misplaced and they want to open an investigation and it will need 24-72 hrs to be resolved. So today after the 72 hrs were exhausted they tell me they want to do further investigations that will take 7 to 10 business days making the waiting time from placing the order till the end of the investigation about 1 month. This is horrible, why should I wait this long if you know the device wasn't shipped?! Why don't you ship me another device and you take care of the internal stuff yourself?! Why should the customer pay for a mistake that happened somewhere in your chain?!

    And till this day I have been calling for more than 10-15 times spending more than 30-45 min each call to explain to each rep what the issue is and being bounced back and forth and getting nowhere. Called AMEX and they said they can dispute the charge and refund me my money but I am afraid if I do so I'll have to pay the full charge for the phone I received and not get the free one. In the end I am not willing to pay 700-800$ for one phone but if it were 2 that would be more reasonable...

    We have had T-Mobile for 6+ years. The services don't work or work poorly randomly. When called they said the problem was their towers. Then towers were fixed and equipment doesn't work with towers. They never notified customers. We went to store and they told us this problem after years of calling Corp T-Mobile to no avail. We contacted T-Mobile when we found out true issue. T-Mobile refused to replace defective equipment but has always expected payment for all services even when they don't work or work right. T-Mobile is corrupt.

    T-mobile has been consistent with pricing and reliability. I give them high marks for their call center customer service except getting transferred too many times. Billing is straightforward. The website drags and my homepage doesn't show all accounts. Irritating. I have been with Tmobile since 2005. I have always been happy with the price and reliability in the last few years has been excellent even while traveling to Montana. Low point is buying a phone from them or any service provider. It's better to buy phone outright not get into the deceptive lease thing.

    I traded in my iPhone 5S for the iPhone 7 and was told I would get the $400 credit towards the iPhone 7. I did everything as they asked and mailed in my phone. 3 months later and I had not received my credit so I contacted T-Mobile. After their "looking into the issue" I am now being told I do not qualify for the credit. I am told there is water damage. The phone I sent in was in amazing condition. I took great care of it and always had the case on as well. The phone looked practically brand new and everything worked great because of the care I took.

    Please beware not to fall for this scam as they will try and come up with any excuse not to give you the credit. Also read the fine print before trading in as they will not return your phone. They offered to give me a $29 credit!!! It's a joke!! I will be paying off the phone and leaving T-Mobile. I never had any issues with my previous cell company and wish I had stayed with them...

They informed me there is nothing they can do so I'm stuck looking at everything from my phone instead of my tablet where I can more easily see it. Every service we receive here sucks and none of the companies care because there are only other bad companies that produce worse service. They don't discount bills or anything just continue to dish out sorrier, and sorrier service every month.

    I decided to go to T-Mobile when they had a promotion of 4 lines for $120.00, unlimited data, texting, and calling. HUGE mistake ever! Since then, I've had my service interrupted on all 4 lines after only days of connection, then billed $20.00 per line for a reconnection fee; inaccurately billed every amount except the $120.00 plus tax I expected to pay.

    Upon contacting them, I've wasted countless hours (minimum 2 hours per call, at least 10 calls the 1st month of service) between two departments (both departments located in different countries) trying to find a resolution. I've cried at least on two occasions from the frustration and even attempted to cancel services, only to be convinced that the customer care department finally gave me a resolutions and made the accurate adjustments to my bill, then come to find out that the bill adjustment were carried over to the next billing cycle and I am still expected to pay them.

    I authorized a 1 time payment to T-Mobile using my debit card. The next month that the bill became due T-Mobile charged my card again. I called and talked to someone that took the charge off but 5 days later another charge appeared. After battling with T-Mobile for more a few more days the charge was reversed. Because of this issue I had to call the bank and get another debit card.

    Well... a few months went by and when a payment was late T-Mobile then charged another one of my debit cards that I used over 6 or 7 months earlier. When calling T-Mobile the customer service person could not explain why or where the debit card was charged but went on to tell me that because the payment was late if I didn't leave the card attached to the account the phone would be turned off. Not only have they used a card that they were not authorized to use but caused me to be overdrawn on my checking account. I have gone back and looked over both of my accounts that T-Mobile has taken unauthorized money from and they have caused me over $200 in overdraft fees. I find that they are a horrible company, customer service is awful and makes threats with saying they will turn the phone off. They are just horrible. I would not refer them to my worst enemy.

First, I received a bill for more than $1,500. This should not have happened as under the Jump program, as long as I turn in the telephone 14 days after upgrading, there is no charge. There is also no contract under T-Mobile. I called the company and they corrected the issue. I also asked about the cash refund that Samsung was offering for the inconvenience. T-Mobile said I would not be receiving any money from Samsung and that it would be applied to the T-Mobile bill. If I do not owe anything, how can they apply it to my bill?

    I live in Northern Virginia and let me tell you this service is terrible. There are many locations I am unable to get reception. Also the stores are uninformed and have no idea what they are doing. When I needed to upgrade to the Note 7's, it took me a total of 21 hours and a week's worth of time to get this accomplished.

    T-Mobile is the worst phone carrier in the history of the USA. I have never been so disappointed and so upset at a company ever! Switching from Verizon to T-Mobile cost me over $3,000. They also have the worst customer service. No one speaks good English because all of their customer service people are out of India! By the way their Indian customer service representatives will identify you to death, so that they get credit for the call, just to tell you they can't help you. And they really cannot help you because they work for the most dysfunctional company in the USA! They never know what you are asking because they don't speak English well, it is that simple!

    One person identifies you and transfer you to another and that goes on until you realize you are dealing with incompetent people! They don't know what they are doing. When I signed up I did buy 3 phones and 3 lines. Instead of saving money it cost me approximately a total of over $3,000 or a $1,000 per line in fees and penalties to get out of their service and go back to Verizon. Verizon was my carrier for over 12 years and the only three months of service I was with T-Mobile cost me dearly. One of my first bills was a $400 phone bill. They charge me for usage I never had. I think that T-Mobile as a carrier is the worst carrier in the USA! Because of their deceiving adds I switched from Verizon to them and I lost my unlimited service with Verizon to only find the worst service ever, or no service, dropped calls, you name it, the worst that is out there T-Mobile has it!

    So if you don't know what to do with your money, and you just want to give it away to support the T-Mobile deceiving adds, go ahead and sign up for T-Mobile cell phone service and be ready not to have a cell phone service, but had to pay for one and when you call to ask why you don't have service be ready to spend hundreds of hours on the phone with customer service from India, arguing and trying to understand all their charges because they will charge you heavily and you will pay with your hard earned money for no service and no customer support just to get away from them! So be smart and don't ever think T-Mobile, the most dysfunctional cell phone company, think of a honorable, honest carrier that knows what they are doing!

    Bottom line, even if you use Netflix, Pandora, YouTube, its data IS counted against your total data each month. T-Mobile is committing fraud by touting fraudulent misleading lies. The reps clearly lie. As today I've been told 3 separate reasons why my games won't play, why I can watch about 2 mins on Netflix with 3 to 4 min buffering.

The transaction was completed and I received a text confirming the eligibility for the monthly credit. My brother is also on my account. He went to a store close to his house and did the same thing. However, about a week later, I received a text telling me that my account no longer qualified for the monthly credit. I called customer service and a rep said I needed to have T-Mobile One. I asked to speak with a supervisor who then said she would call me back the following week at a designated date and time. She never called. I called customer service again and a person from the promotions department was sorry for my situation, but she could not do anything.

    I offered to return the iPhone 7's and she stated it was fine, but that we would only receive $100 back for each phone, not our iPhone 6's. That was not fair as our phones were worth more than $100 each. I offered to upgrade my account to T-Mobile One at the price that was offered during the promotion, but she said no. However, she was willing to modify my account so I could qualify. I asked her to send the details of her plan but she said she could not and that she could only give it verbally. I told her I would think about it. She also suggested I spoke with the store about the mistake. After hanging up, I crunched the numbers of the suggested modifications to my phone plan. Essentially, it would mean I have to pay for the iPhone 7. Not much help at all. The store was contacted and an employee stated if the account did not qualify, then the computer would not have allowed the transaction to go through in the first place.

    I called customer service again but it has been useless. Now I am forced to pay for the phones. This is shady business. They made a mistake and are forcing me to pay for their mistake.

My phone Galaxy S3 started giving reception problems and as I had been paying for insurance of my phones, called the technical department and once they could not resolve the problem, I was told that I should go to the nearest company store and get a replacement. At the store I was told that there is nothing like that in the records so they will have to contact their main office. After long tele conversation the girl who was attending me confirmed that the order has been placed by her for the replacement and once phone would arrive, I would get a text message to come and get the replacement. I was also told that as the galaxy S3 is no more available with the company they will replace my Galaxy S3 16GB with a better phone the Galaxy 5.

    After few days I received the text and I went to the store, gave my phone for replacement to the girl at the counter who asked me to pay $5 and some pennies and sign the Credit card Terminal. She told me that I am all set and should give her some half an hour to complete the transfer of data to the new device. I came back to the store after around an hour but the phone was not ready and the girl complained that I had too many photos on my phone and it is not getting transferred. She started again and again with no outcome. During this process her attitude was so aggressive and unwelcome but I just ignored as I had no time to waste in teaching these people how to deal with a customer, though I was frustrated as it was taking forever.

    I noticed that the new phone on the GUI of transfer unit was showing 8GB; now I could understand why all of my data was not being accommodated on the replacement phone. It was not a regular Samsung S5 rather was a stripped down version called Sam 5ON 8GB. This refurbished phone was available online for $50 and the company was trying to downgrade my phone with such a cheap unit. I refused to accept this new unit and took back my original phone after some unpleasant exchange as the girl was telling me that as I have signed the exchange and acceptance (by signing at CC terminal or so while making the payment), I cannot receive my phone back. This phone was not on installments or discounted rate supply, I had bought it at full market price and my fault was that I had been using it for the plan I bought from T-Mobile.

    I was so disappointed that I was thinking of switching over to another career but then thought that I should talk to the company as this could not be the T-Mobile approach towards such a long term loyal customer. So next day (Dec 22, 2016) I called the customer service and told them how disappointed was I but I was assured that of course I deserve a better treatment and it was not fair to downgrade the replacement when I had been paying for insurance coverage for the specific phone. I felt better and appreciated my decision to hold my horses to move to the competition and letting go my long relationship with the T-Mobile. I was told that I will be transferred to the relevant department and was put on hold.

    After 20 minutes of listing to headache creating music a person came online and from accent I could guess that I am talking to an overseas facility, where American values are hardly understood. I had to re-explain my case from "A" onward; I was again put on hold for long time with a little gaps to say "Thank you for holding, I am working on your case". After another half an hour I was told that the only replacement they could give me was the same SAM G550T ON 8GB. When I said that he should talk to his supervisor and see what can be done to replace my phone with an equivalent one, I was told that he had been working along his supervisor and have concluded that nothing else can be done and then he started selling me new phone where they are running promotion to buy one and get one free. I told him I am not interested in buying new phone I am asking for replacement under insurance coverage of my phone.

    During all this the line dropped and I was expecting that I would receive a call back from them. Guess what... Nothing happened. This customer care is so pathetic; I would prefer to buy new phone but from another company; and would be telling my whole family and friends to refrain from getting trapped into their insurance policy rather should stay away from company where they do not value a loyalty spread over a decade. Shame on you T-Mobile.

    T-Mobile will have hidden charges. Representatives will all lie and tell you different things. 150/4 lines turns into 500-700 a month. It's just how it is. They always make it sound like you are getting a deal. 2 months later you are hooked so they will add charges for no reason. DO NOT RECOMMEND T-MOBILE. Try at your own risk but they will screw you over. Would rather pay Sprint or AT&T. No hidden fees there.

    Read this, amazing story with T-Mobile. So I decided to switch from my old carrier to T-Mobile, and yes, within two days I got 5 sim cards. I decided to switch because they were offering a promotion offer, that if you switch to them, they'll offer you $200.00 per line, which totals out for me at $1000.00 gift card. After verifying this with my service person, (I kept asking her trying to make sure this was right) and also gave her what I wanted to do, and what kind of plan I was looking for. She listed me under a family plan, told me I'd have unlimited data, text, and call. The 5 sim kits cost me $106.00, and I received them and when I opened everything, what a surprise; no gift card(s).

    So yes, I called in, and tried to ask what happened to them, another lady answered and said I don't receive a gift card; but instead they credit me $10 a line, $50.00 potentially, for 20 months. I hung up, thinking I was fine with it. I then gave a call back to activate and port-forward my phone, and then asked for a bill estimate, given an accurate one, I wanted to make sure that I'd get $50.00 off. BOOM, the guy said :"No, you don't, but let us make sure and get an account specialist on the line", so yes we get an account specialist, and she tells me to move to the promotion page, and tells me to put in the link. Doesn't work right? So we disconnected and I end up calling again; my 3rd call in one day. I explain this to the guy, and he assured me I don't qualify, and then I asked for a supervisor.

    Supervisor Joshua apologized sincerely, now I respect his apology, but it was unacceptable. I told him 3 different people, told me three different wrong ideas, and now I want to issue a refund, so I wanted to return these SIM cards back, and cancel my account. Told me I couldn't return the SIM cards, so I practically have no use for them. About $106 down the drain already right? So I also canceled with my old carrier, and that still had a positive balance for service, BOOM, also down the drain. Told me he couldn't do anything, and I must pay $210 a month in order to receive credits. Isn't that funny, that is so bullcrap. On top, going back to my old carrier, I had to pay extra for a new SIM card, which I gladly did because T-Mobile is load of poop. Trust me, don't order from T-Mobile. Bless you.

    T-Mobile is among the worst companies regarding customer service in Germany and it is not much better here in the USA. I came in the store with an old prepaid cell phone which I had bought in Germany from T-Mobile and asked for a new sim card. They said they can do it, I paid for the sim card and asked them to activate it and they could not activate it! Consequently I asked for cancellation because it never worked. I did not get reimbursed for the entire amount as they kept $11 for the prepaid minutes. Keeping money for minutes that never could be used?

    I complained and store manager called T-Mobile to make pressure for a reimbursement and he was treated not better than any other customer. Indeed it was my impression that T-Mobile distrusts their own managers! After two hours in the store I was told to receive a corporate check with the amount of $11 and I still have not received anything after 4 weeks! BE CAREFUL: a company that does not trusts its own managers tells me a lot. Guess what cell phone company I am with? Not with T-Mobile!

When I signed my plan with T-mobile it's a prepaid phones, two lines for $80 a month, I told them to block all the international calls so that it will not create problems. They confirmed with me at the store it been done this month. I got $400 phone bill. $190 International call made on my phone which I didn't make. I was very disappointed. I will never advise anyone to use T-Mobile as a carrier because they are thieves. I hate them with all my heart. I told them that if the money is going to make them rich good luck.

    My family went to T-Mobile store in Apopka Vineland Rd. Everyone was very nice and helpful; however, did not think about customer service at all in regards to providing knowledgeable information.

    We immediately called and of course each person said something different. Speak to store manager or call corporate. Of course no one could do anything. We lost about $300 in 1 day's time. I called store manager again as told to do by corporate, still waiting for a call back. That was 2 weeks ago, SMH. Save yourself the hassle and go elsewhere.

    The main reason we joined T-Mobile was I hate the idea of contracts. I think it's unconscionable how companies expect you to contract up all the time. Well, it seemed a breath of fresh air to be with T-Mobile. My previous phone was a Google Nexus which was a great phone, only trouble is I couldn't do WiFi calling with it.

    So I finally got an iPhone 6s through T-Mobile back in Sept 2015. I was happy with the phone for a year. However, about a month or so ago, the screen started acting crazy. (see the images below). Briefly, it turns on and all the white is gray and the black is dark gray. Sometimes it starts scrolling through all these screens as if under someone else's command. Finally, when it looks like this I can neither swipe the screen nor touch to access any of my apps.

    This phone has never been dropped was always in a case and just started acting screwy. I think I have a lemon. Lemon laws for cars are very clear about the amount of time within which a car is abnormal, I will have to do some research on lemon laws for products.

    In any case, it is my opinion that a $700 appliance should last longer than a year and a month. I went to a T-Mobile store and since I didn't pay the extra money for the insurance and it is a month or two beyond the one year warranty coverage, there is nothing they could do. They helped me set up an appointment at the Apple Store. When I went to the Apple Genius Bar, it was working and they ran a diagnostic which could find no problem. Don't you know the next day it started acting screwy again so I made another appt at the Apple Bar for next week. I can understand from T-Mobile's perspective that they did not manufacture the phone but I was given very few options other than to upgrade. If this does not get resolved in a satisfactory manner, I have several routes for recourse: leave T-Mobile for their competitors and never buy another Apple product in my life.

    I had a history of positive experiences with Apple but obviously they have stopped making quality products in favor of flipping phones for higher and higher numbers every year because that is where the profits are. I would appreciate the intervention of someone other than a sales associate at T-Mobile to discuss options. I have enjoyed being a member of the no contract club but it seems it is less costly to get stuck in a two year contract during which time they will replace defective or lemon devices versus saving a few bucks to not be in a contract. I do not know the order number but the account number is written in the order number box. I also have the receipt dated 10-16-15 with the register #, transaction #, and sale rep #. Thank you, in advance, for your time and assistance in this matter.

I spoke to 3 different T-Mobile customer reps, store manager, and employees at the T-Mobile. Everyone assured me I qualified and guaranteed me I wouldn't have to change plans. I traded in two phones on November 26, 2016 for the deal and on November 28, 2016 I get text messages saying "congrats you have been enrolled in our T-Mobile promotion, no action needed in your part." I was eligible for the promotion on both lines. I got charged for the iPhones even though I qualified so I called and they said I would be refunded on the next billing cycle getting two credits for each iPhone.

    On 12/8/16 I get messages saying I am no longer eligible and have to pay full price for the phones. I contacted T-Mobile and they said I have to change my plan to their new plan which is 40 dollars more a month when I already have an unlimited plan. I wanted to cancel but they said I couldn't get my phones back that I had paid off and have to pay the full price of the iPhones or switch plans. I am basically being held hostage to upgrade to the T-Mobile One plan. It was T-Mobile's mistake, employees lack of training, negligence of upper management but I am being blamed for it instead of taking responsibility. They're saying I am having buyer's remorse when I was mislead for financial gain by T-Mobile and their employees which is considered fraud.

    I would like to share one of just a number of times I received courteous service from a T-MOBILE store manager or associate. Yesterday, I'm out of town, and my tablet locks up on me requiring some say solution to a temporary problem. I was in Flagstaff Arizona, and I went into the T-MOBILE store in the Flagstaff Mall. I was helped by the new manager, Darrel, who had been manager at this location for just about 10 days. WOW! Darrel not only was at a store that needed an organizational boost, but right before the biggest selling season of the year.

    When I approached him with my problem, he didn't hesitate to help me. He had to really spend some time and effort to scope out the problem and put my tablet in working order. I wasn't buying anything. I showed up in the evening, which was during a day when Darrel had already worked 12 hours. I give this manager and his team a 5 on a scale of 1-5 for being a good place to shop and do business with. My sincere wishes to them for a happy holiday season.

    On Friday, November 25, 2016 I contacted T-Mobile Customer Care regarding a Black Friday promotion where new/existing customers could trade in old iPhones for a discount on a new iPhone 7. I called to verify that (1) my iPhone 5 did qualify and (2) I could keep my existing plan. I was told that my phone did qualify and that my rate plan was eligible for the upgrade without modifications so I initiated the trade-in over the phone. I completed the trade-in at a T-Mobile store in order to get the new device that same day but only after verifying (1) and (2) a second time in person.

    On Friday, December 16, 2016, I received a text message stating that I was no longer eligible for any Black Friday discounts/promotions and would be responsible for the complete cost of the phone. I contacted T-Mobile to determine the reason for my ineligibility and was told that my rate plan was ineligible. I explained my trade-in process (over the phone, then in the store) and was forwarded to T-Mobile's "Loyalty Department" (Cancellations, in fact).

    The next representative offered me a grandfathered rate plan with more features, but at an additional monthly cost. Once again I explained that I did not wish to change plans and would be happy to return the iPhone to T-Mobile in exchange for my old phone and the waiving of any restocking fees. I was informed that returns were at the discretion of the T-Mobile store (I was past the typical 2 week return policy) and that she could not guarantee the waiving of any fees. Essentially, the return would be classified as a buyer's remorse return in accordance to T-Mobile's corporate policies. Furthermore, my old iPhone 5 could not be returned.

    My identity was stolen and used to fraudulently open a T-Mobile account. I have been trying to resolve this for three months. I have called Customer Service repeatedly and made two trips to the local T-Mobile store. The problem is that the Customer Service people don't know how to deal with fraud and say it must be dealt with by the fraud department which they can contact only via email.

    I have had zero communication with the fraud department. There is no way for me to contact them except by a fax number -- no phone number or email address. I have repeatedly been told by Customer Service that the fraud department will contact me and I faxed them my contact information directly and asked them to please, please contact me. Nothing.

    Different Customer Service reps have given me different and conflicting information about what information the fraud department needed. I promptly faxed every document they requested. At the end of October I was told by Customer Service the fraud department had everything it needed and that my account would be zeroed and the matter resolved. This was to appear on the December statement.

    Instead, they sent it to a collection agency. When I called Customer Service, they said the fraud department needed a copy of the police report, something they specifically told me they DIDN'T need at the end of October. I faxed it to them the next day. Now two supervisors have told me that although the file is complete and will now be investigated, T-Mobile no longer owns the account and I will have to deal with the collection agency myself. They say there is nothing they can do.

    So: I tried diligently and frequently to resolve this for three months. There was ZERO communication with the fraud department because I had no way to contract them (other than by fax, which I did) and they refused to contact me in any way. I promptly provided every document Customer Service asked for. And was sent to collection and told it is my problem to deal with the collection agency.

    So far, I've put 45-50 hours into this including two trips to a T-Mobile store and three trips to the police station. Not to mention a conversation with the delightful woman at the collection agency. And the wonderful discussions with the two supervisors who told me dealing with the collection agency was my problem. I cannot believe anyone would be stupid enough to make it impossible for a fraud victim to communicate with the fraud department. One wonders whether their goal is extortion, hoping victims will just pay up in order to protect their credit rating and stop wasting their time trying to deal with this rotten outfit.

    I had been a T-Mobile customer for approximately 15 years, along with all of the name changes during that time span. Several times over that period, I made a call to cancel my account for various reasons, mostly customer service issues. But finally, I had had it with their call center routing the call OVERSEAS. They have a script they follow and don't listen or don't understand English very well. You are constantly repeating themselves and asking questions that you have already answered. It is grueling!

    The last call was even worse than grueling, which finally broke the camels back. The agent, would not transfer me to her supervisor and kept repeating, "I have been trained to assist you with your problem and is not necessary to speak with a supervisor." Over and over again she repeated this. Finally, I told her, "You are doing a lousy job, you speak terrible English and if you don't transfer me to a supervisor, I will call the corporate office and tell them all about you." Finally, I was put on hold and ANOTHER FOREIGN WORKER COMES ON THE PHONE. He did speak better English but like a robot, kept repeating statements that I told him over and over was wrong but to no avail.

    I hung up and started searching for a new company, found one, had my number ported over but ran into a problem, once again with T-Mobile, that told me it may take 72 hours or longer to send the email to unlock my phone. When I insisted that they do it anyway, they said ok and I received the email in 5 minutes. The new carrier followed the instructions and got my phone unlocked and now I am basically free of T-Mobile.

    My new family plan was set up with my phones but I had some tablets thru T-Mobile that I did not unlock at the time, basically due to the time that all of this had taken. So, 3 days later, I called T-Mobile to unlock the tablets and because NOW, since I had canceled, they would not let me unlock because there was a final bill I had to pay first (which had not even been generated). I owned these tablets, nothing was owed on them but they were holding them hostage until I paid the un-generated final bill. And of course, the amount was wrong. After 75 minutes of talking to the foreigners again, the bill was corrected and I paid the final bill 25 days early to get my tablets unlocked.

    I am finally free from this pitiful company. By the way (and probably a blessing), they made no attempt to retain a 15-year customer. I hope this will help future decisions with this company. 80% of their problem is they outsourced their customer service overseas to save money, while good customer service was sacrificed.

June, July, August, September, October and December they kept charging each line on our account plan charges that we REQUESTED to be removed since June. Each month we called in, they would give us credit, only to put the same plan charges back on our bill and then charge 20.00 reconnect fee per line (5 lines) a month.

    To be fair, they did credit most charges, only to charge them again the following month. I refused to pay the bill until this was corrected, but was willing to pay for FAIR charges, even if that meant multiple payments to T-mobile. Frustrated, I canceled my account and requested ONCE AGAIN that they adjust my plans on each line to 10.00 a month per line that I have been REQUESTING for 6 months. They refused, and said that the charges will remain. I imagine because I closed my account. :|

    I finally had enough and called T-mobile, canceled the account and requested that they remove the plan charges I asked to be removed since June -- and ONLY charge me the 10.00 per line fee. Because I canceled my account with an agent prior to talking with the agent atm (I spoke to 8 specialist and 1 manager) -- they would not remove the extra plan charges because they were 'legit'. Despite 6 months of extensive notes on us requesting the 10.00 a line plan and not the extra plans that were 100.00 extra per month.

    I simply wanted to close my account, get a final bill that reflects the 10.00 per line fee I've been battling to change and be done with T-mobile. But, T-mobile would rather scam me for few 100.00. Why? Because they don't think that you as a consumer will do anything about it. In this case, they couldn't be more wrong. And what could have been resolved fairly and at minimum to them, will not cost them in legal fees. Seems T-mobile hasn't learned their lesson.

    T-mobile has already had a class action lawsuit for extra charges.

    Anyway.... Finally, after realizing that what T-mobile and the 9 agents I spoke with today, are going to keep up the wrong-doing and all that was coming from it was my frustration -- I opted to end the call, request the final bill and take it legal. I will contact a lawyer, or contact the lawyers that originally brought the lawsuit against T-mobile... and then I will notify my HR department with the company I work for who has an account with T-mobile, to warn them about T-mobile. Do NOT get suckered into their plans or their hype. Do not believe their lies about customer care -- they will pass you around like a tether ball and refuse to do the right thing in the end. This used to be a decent company, they are absolutely the worst service I've seen now.

    I went to T-Mobile on Black Friday to switch because we were getting charged entirely too much with our other carrier. I found out today that they never paid the other carrier. Their solution is to escalate the situation to corporate to credit our bill with T-Mobile and to use that leftover cash to pay the former carrier. Not a fan right now.

    I guess I should begin with the false coverage map. I decided to give them a try because I was tired of AT&T and the "coverage map" on their website showed service in all the areas surrounding my house. The only place I actually had reliable service was inside my house. So I decided I needed to get out before the remorse period for the 2 phones that I financed through them expired. It was a nightmare switching service providers despite them assuring me that it would be seamless. Guess that was lie #2. So I returned the devices with the prepaid shipping label that they provided and thought that I would be receiving the refund for the taxes and down payment of $375 back to my account. After a month of calling regarding this issue I received a bill for the remaining $1300 on the devices. After calling twice to confirm that I would not be charged for these phones and I wouldn't be turned over to collections I was convinced all was good.

    When the date came for the auto draft I did no think twice about it. Big mistake! They deducted the full amount without my knowledge. Of course called them immediately when I discovered this and was given a runaround on why the money came out and when and if the money would be returned. Oh yeah, I was on the phone with them for a total of 2:46 minutes and was transferred unexpectedly several times to different reps when they got tired of talking to me. Finally I was told that I would see the money back in my account in 48-72 business hours. This obviously upset me but I had already wasted more time than I had available for that day, so I waited till the next day to follow up on this and to no surprise when I called them the next day they said that the refund request was denied because somebody didn't file the right paperwork in the return warehouse. Will update later, when and if this is resolved.

    T-Mobile was having a Black Friday promotion, trade in your qualifying phone and get the new iPhone 7. We went into the T-Mobile store to see if my daughter's iPhone 6 qualified and get the details. The representative said it did qualify we just had to finish paying it off, which we did. We even got a text from T-Mobile saying Congrats! Your line is eligible for our current device promotion 2016 Apple Black Friday offer. We traded our daughter's phone in, signed paperwork that stated we would be charged every month, but in the same statement we would get credit for that charge. We walked out of the store with a new phone and pretty satisfied. Today, December 8, 2016, I get a text f on T-Mobile saying, "Your line is no longer eligible for a monthly bill credit device promotion 2016 Apple Black Friday offer. Monthly promotion credits will no longer be applicable."

    I call T-Mobile to see what the problem is. The representative said they were getting many calls about that problem and they were trying to resolve it. He said in order to qualify for that offer I needed to have unlimited data. I told him I do have unlimited data. He said my plan didn't qualify, I had to switch to the T-Mobile One for an additional $40 a month. I of course told him, "No, I'm not going to pay an additional $40." He put me on hold while he went to get his supervisor. I was on hold for over an hour and no one ever came to the phone. I called back on another line, while still on hold with the other line. I finally spoke to the supervisor and her only resolution was that I had to switch to the T-Mobile One. I told her that after being a loyal T-Mobile customer for 15 years I would probably have to cancel my contract with them. She said she would transfer me to the retention department to see what they could do for me.

    After being on hold for over an hour, no one ever came to the phone. Again, I called using another line while still on hold. I spoke to another supervisor who told me the retention dept. had a lot of calls (I wonder why) and it could be a while before they got to me. I told her to define a while because I've been on hold for over a hour already. She said she couldn't tell me. I asked if someone could give me a call back and she said, "No." She said she didn't know why the other supervisor had transferred me to the retention department because that department can't do anything to help me. So after wasting 2 hours on the phone with T-Mobile today, nothing got resolved. I will definitely be canceling my service with T-Mobile and see about taking legal action against the company for their "bait and switch" tactics.

    They were offering a promotion -- buy a tablet for only $40 -- which sounded too good to be true. So I asked 2 different employees if it was a one-time charge, or if my monthly bill would increase because of the tablets. Both of them told me multiple times that it was a one-time charge ONLY, and my bill would not change. So I of course went through with it, only to find out that - yes - my bill would increase by 75 dollars a month. T-Mobile flat out lied to my face about the price, almost scamming me out of my money.

She was well aware of the issues plaguing the 6's and allowed me to downgrade and replace them with 5s that will ship out next day.

    As disclosed in the T-Mobile Privacy *last updated November 25, 2015... "all customer care calls are monitored and recorded." The validity of my complaint can be verified with T-Mobile. I received a "final bill" reflecting all charges through 11/20/2016” indicating I owe $529.50. I know this bill is not valid charges. I have contacted T-Mobile numerous times on 11/28/16 and just about every time I have spoken to a rep they have a different excuse why I owe this amount.

    10/19/16-10/20/16 I contacted T-Mobile verifying my account is paid reflecting a ZERO balance to include all charges for services and all installment payments for equipment i.e. Iphone 6 plus Cell # **. Since I reflected a $0.00 balance and all equipment installments are paid in full T-Mobile authorized my Iphone 6plus to be unlocked so I can cancel my T-Mobile services and I expressed I would be moving to Verizon. I spoke to 2 reps. to retrieve the unlocking instructions. I received me unlock codes via email from a rep named "Tommy" who emailed me from **. Also another representative from ** dated 10/21/2016 Simlock reference #**. Therefore they cannot hold me liable for equipment charges of $281.16 which T-Mobile is now claiming I owe them. I paid them the remaining equipment balance of $281.16 on 10/15/2016. I HAVE MY WELLS FARGO BANK STATEMENT SHOWING PAID.

    Let me back up to a week prior. I wanted any balance I had due to T-Mobile paid off and have $0 balance so I can move to Verizon. I paid everything to include charges for current bills, past due charges, equipment installment payments. I have bank statements proving I paid them a total of $571.20. 10/11/16- Paid $89.84 Services. 10/13 16 – Paid $133.82 Services. 10/15/2016 Paid: $281.16 Equipment. $37.44 Equipment. $14.94 Equipment. $14.00 Equipment.

    10/21/2016 my phone number was fully ported to Verizon. 10/23/2016 As of this date with all the different charges paid I even accidentally OVERPAID by $144.00. 10/23/2016 per conversation with T-Mobile employee "TK” he reassured me I had no balance, I even had a credit of $144. due and he was even "able to get authorization/exception” and make effective cancellation date 10/23/2016 with no future billing due. I expressed I felt it was unfair to bill me another 30 days if the phone number has been ported to Verizon as of 10/21/2016. “He placed me on hold and claimed to have obtained authorization and make an exception to not bill me through November and make effective cancellation date 10/23/2016.

    In reference to phone conversation with T-Mobile rep "TK" on 10/23/2016 he misrepresented the company, according to other T-Mobile representatives he misinformed me and made a false statement about "getting authorization" to make an "exception" to make 10/23/2016 my effective cancellation date so I would not get billed through 11/20/2016. It is not my fault as the consumer I was misled. As a resolution, I do have a $0.00 balance. No equipment charges and no service charges after 10/23/16. According to your T-Mobile unlock sim # policy the account must be in good standing to receive unlocking instructions!!

    I feel T-Mobile is using unjust tactics to retain customers and collect on false charges. I should have known with canceling being such a difficult process I would end up with a disaster. You can play back so called recorded conversation I had with representatives on 10/19/16, 10/20/16, 10/21/2016, and 10/23/2016 to check the validity of my complaint. Your representatives even made conversation with me about how I even had a credit of $144. As a resolution the right thing to do would be to correct my final bill which should be $0.00 ZERO. I canceled my services as of 10/23/16.

    After the Note 7 debacle (not T-Mobile's fault), I had to pick a different phone. The best offering for me was the LG V20 as it advertised to pick up the Extended Range band 12 with T-mobile. It always connects to the weaker band 4, resulting in missed texts, dropped calls and the incredibly annoying glitch of hearing my own voice on calls.

    I pre-ordered the LG V20 and my phone has had nothing but problems since the beginning. I've called T-Mobile dozens of times. I worked with the engineers for a month giving them information only to never hear from them again despite being promised a call back every time. Then came the managers who can do nothing more than a regular rep. They also, not once, returned a call. On one call I was told it was a tower issue that was to be completed on Nov 5 then the 17 then the 22nd now they say the 30th. After the length of time from the incompetence of T-Mobile problem solving teams, I'm outside my return window from being jerked around by reps that have no idea what they are talking about. It's as if they were all trained on different planets, even the managers.

    I finally spoke to someone who said they would send out a new, not refurbished, unit. Guess what? I went to pick it up and it's a refurb which I refused. This is an $800 phone. I'm not taking a refurb because of their lies and misleading reps. This phone is bad enough and with it being so new, that refurb likely came from the same batch of whatever is wrong with mine. I'm not willing to take the chance that it goes from bad to worse. T-Mobile's options? Pay $150 for an insurance claim, use an upgrade or take the refurb despite the complete nightmare this has been since mid-October through no fault of my own. There is no damage to my device whatsoever. I checked my call log. I've had to call T-Mobile more than my friends.

    All of this stemming from an issue that has nothing to do with anything of my doing. I bought a phone. It doesn't work as advertised by a longshot. I got on the jump plan and on Dec 18th, I'm getting the cheapest phone they have, paying off, jumping ship and heading to Project Fi. It's a sin that T-Mobile should be allowed to operate with deception and lies. I have to admit that I'm a huge fan of their CEO John Legere. He is famously quote and on record for this as their work ethic. "Listen to your employees, listen to your customers, shut the f up, and do what they tell you." - John Legere. I'm pretty sure he has no idea how things actually are at his broken and problem riddled little Hamlet. I begging you not to engage with this company as you will sorely regret it. His company certainly doesn't represent that credo. As of December 18th, good riddance.

I told them I would be willing to sign a 2 year contract with them to take advantage of the special they were running and as a loyal customer of at least 10 years they would not do one thing to help me. Already the reception was very poor in many areas that I used so I decided to cancel my contract with them and pay $300 to leave them.

    I switched to Verizon and have been satisfied with them. I can actually get reception in all the places I need it with Verizon and when I have had customer service issues come up they have solved every one of them. DO NOT USE T-MOBILE. I regret ever signing up T-Mobile. I will NEVER use T-Mobile again even if they have a great special. They do not value their loyal customers and actually penalize them for being a loyal customer.

    My husband and I decided to switch from Sprint because they were becoming pretty expensive and also we wanted to upgrade our phones without the "lease" option. So we went to a local T-Mobile retail store and explained our situation to a rep and advised we heard they are cheap for 2 lines and we can keep our current phone numbers and they would pay off our Sprint termination fee and bill. So we signed up for 2 lines under $130 month, traded in 2 iPhones so we can "purchase" our phones and not lease.

    My first bill was good... Then we got our second bill... Over $200.00. Way more than with Sprint mind you. So I called a rep stated that we were signed up for a smart lease plan. Whatever the hell that is. So the rep lied about everything we signed up for... And we are paying monthly for our phones apparently. So we pay... And each month our bill keeps rising with no reason... I threatened to cancel. Retention stated... There wasn't nothing they could do. This company is a complete fraud and I am surprised they are still in business. I should've stayed with Sprint. Lesson learned!!

I switched to SPRINT last December and that is where the majority of my problems started. I called them directly after the transfer of service to confirm my account would be closed out and that I would get a final bill (which SPRINT would pay). I was reassured several times that my account would be closed out. I even called in early January to make sure again that it would be closed out and my automatic payments would stop just to be sure. They then began to bill me for my iPad which was complimentary up until that point. I never received a final bill until May of that year of which they showed the amount as past due which SPRINT would not reimburse me for.

    I have called close to a dozen times trying to get that corrected so that I can pay the bill and SPRINT could reimburse me. They then sent me to collections and damaged my credit for not paying a bill that is MATERIALLY INCORRECT. The collections department that they use have hung up on me when I tried to explain to them that I need a corrected bill several times. They hung up on me 6 times in one day in fact.

We even talked to them about our current plan and what could happen if we added another line (keep in mind they knew what kind of plan we hand at the START). After an hour I left with a new phone, great battery and was happy. I went to gym after and I also run there since it is close enough. I get there and to log in I need to open my gym’s app which wasn't opening, then I noticed my Wi-fi wasn't working so I tried to call my boyfriend and his number went directly to T-Mobile’s line. MY PHONE WAS NOT ACTIVATED. I go back to the T-Mobile where they we're like "Oh you were in here early. Why are you back?" and I told them my problem and they said “Oh we forgot to activate your new phone.” So they activate it where they find out.

    NOW I DON'T QUALIFY FOR THE UPGRADE. Saying now if I wanted to keep this upgrade I'd have to pay an additional $50 every month on top of my $78 dollar a month plan. I was so upset because that was something never told to me after checking with these T-Mobile workers THREE TIMES and they said if I can’t they can give me back my old phone and move all my stuff back to my old phone. Which I said yes too because 50 every month is not something I can do. All Misty said was “Sorry you know how it is though right. This is all new for us and it’s been crazy busy and we just got sent the information about this yesterday.” (I never one lost my temper. I was polite and understanding.)

    I had to wait there an additional hour just to get my phone back and be back at square one when I was trying to be proactive about my situation and came in on Wednesday. Customer service was horrible here. Workers have no idea of their OWN plans, promos and offers and it turned my whole morning into a mess and a scramble. 100% disappointed. Avoid the Hillsboro location if you can. Not to mention they also lost my case... complete disaster of an experience.

    I signed up for two lines at T-Mobile on July 29, 2016 and I got 2 Samsung galaxy and also I bought some accessories for the 2 phones. Then on August 11, 2016 I cancelled it and returned everything. Actually I lost my money because I have to pay for the restocking fee of 50 dollar each phones and also $99.00 dollars for the days of service that I was using the phone. So T-Mobile still sent me a bill 4 times already and asking me to pay $339.80. I keep calling them for so many times and they can't still resolve the problem which is I don't understand what kind of system they are using because they can't locate the 2 phones that I returned to them. And I spoke to the person that cancelled my service and she said she returned to the warehouse, but T-Mobile can't locate.

    Is this scam so that people will pay them even though they have the merchandise. T-Mobile is scammed. I hope the government will investigate this company. And talking to their customer care or the store where I bought the 2 phones are so useless too. I asked them and just don't care because I think they used to it already scamming consumers. And one person work at the store told me "just pay them and you get a refund later." So I told her "you guys took already my $274.95 and now you still want me to pay another $339.80." Then if I agree to pay them it means like how many people already they collected the amount of money. So I hope somebody will get them because this company is the worst one.

    T-Mobile advertised cheap prices so I thought I'll give them a try. I spoke to different representatives and both of them told me that there will be no charge if I disconnect service within the first 30 days if I don't like it. II started a plan with them but reception sucked anywhere I went so I called them up and they reassured again that there is no fees and I can stop the plan immediately which I did.

    Now around a year later I started getting phone calls from collection agencies that I own $124 to T-Mobile. No one is able to explain what this money was for. I told there is no way I'm paying something that I don't owe. Now they reported me to the credit bureau and my credit is dropping. I hope that anyone who reads this review will stay away from T-Mobile, otherwise you're more than likely be screwed by them as well. Anywhere I look I only see bad reviews on them. Why are they still operating??? Go figure.

The guy at her store said they can't do that and had her buy another SIM and said I could just cancel the temp line. I went into my store and they said they don't do that. So now I am in a limbo.

    I have been with T-Mobile for 4 years now and I have 7 lines with them. I made a terrible mistake of ordering new phone by calling customer service. I had a note which smoked and just got fired. While I was trying to dispute my remaining balance for the device, I decided to upgrade 4 phone. I ordered 4 new phones, two S6 Edges and two S7 Edges. They charged me full prices, $20 activation for each line and taxes. Then ending up sending me pre-owned phone while they charged me full price for new phone. After I returned the phones on Oct 25, 2016, I have still not received a refund.

    Up till today I have spoke to 20+ representatives and about 4 supervisors and everyone keeps saying 3 business days, 72 hours, another 5 business days. They are trying to steal my money and every time they give a new excuse for not refunding me my money. Eventually they ended giving me only $140.61 back and I am still missing $224.28. This is sad and very disappointing how they treat a customer. I can't begin to tell how many false charges and fees they put on my monthly bill, it's like every month I have to call them and have them refund or adjust the bills. So poor those customers who think T-Mobile will bill them right and do not check their bills. They are losing money.

    I have had nothing but lies since the very start. The store lied about my rebate and the overall monthly charge for my account. I then call to get help in understanding how my bill could be $100.00 more than I was quoted and the c/s agent assured me she would file a complaint against the store and call me back after my bill had become available to see what she could do to assist me. Not only did I not receive a call (duh) they cannot even get a hold of the person. I thought it was a little strange being a call center that she was able to do that and I was right.

    After speaking with her I immediately received a review and now am I glad I didn't respond right away because I would've given her an excellent review for nothing. This has been the worst experience and I wish I had never left Verizon. And they have very strong accents which makes it almost impossible to understand.

    I decided to give T-Mobile a try. Not having the best credit I had to settle for cheaper phones as I needed multiple lines and it would have been too expensive initially to buy all them phones. I was told by the rep that after a year I would be able to upgrade with no problem to whatever phone I wanted. Once I reached my year I called to do the upgrade. By this time I had been dealing with these phones for several months, not getting service, memory full messages when trying to view photos or download apps, dropped or unreceived calls, incompatibility with bluetooth devices, etc. I can go on and on. When I called they said I was not eligible for an upgrade because I had been late several times in the past. The rep only said I had to be with them a year, never said that being late would automatically disqualify me.

    I described all the issues I was having and they said it was nothing they could do and the only way was to pay almost the full price of a phone which I didn't have the money for. Shortly after I would receive offers telling me I'm eligible to upgrade by paying just 109.00 dollars and things of that nature and whenever I called they would still not honor what they offered me which was clearly offered to me by message. They would get my hopes up by telling me I could upgrade and not stand by it after about the six time I told them that I was gonna cut ties and they still didn't care. They don't value their customers. They are liars. Their service sucks and I would never do business with them again and advice that you don't either.

    The issue is simple. I was told they would take care of any issues with the Galaxy S7. My phone stopped working after 3 months. Would not turn on. Lost all contacts saved to phone, lost a lot of work. They refuse to replace because of a hairline crack on the screen which occurred literally outside the store I was visiting to get phone replaced. Was laughed at by the associates about being clumsy, then told they would not be able to do anything about the phone because of the crack that had just occurred in front of their eyes. Was then told by the insurance that I was stuck with a broken phone.

    After 12 years of being a LOYAL customer I was treated with much disrespect. Called customer care and asked to be transferred to the retention department which is the one department that's sole job is to make sure they don't lose you as a customer. Was told there was absolutely nothing they can do. I was stuck with the broken phone and would cost me an additional $350 fee. I am appalled that I was treated in this way by my favorite company.

    It remains a mystery how T-Mobile can have so many issues providing me with uninterrupted service. I realize outages and failures do happen however there is no excuse for extended outages & other network problems as frequently as in my experience. More egregious are the tactics employed to avoid customer service by creating frustration and delay instead of addressing a customer complaint/issue. A brief outage may be unavoidable however the level of importance assigned by T-Mobile to correct Network issues is completely under their control.

    Twice this morning, I called (800)937-8990) for assistance and each time I was disconnected while on hold waiting for a supervisor. This suggests a deliberate effort on the part of Customer Care to avoid dealing with issues and in particular their objection to connect to a supervisor. Again on call two, while waiting for a supervisor the call was disconnected. T-Mobile lacks common sense or courtesy to train and demand the customer must be called back when YOU disconnect. Anything less is simply rude. This further arrogance suggests my first guess was likely correct - it is a deliberate effort to frustrate and avoid providing customer assistance at a meaningful level.

    The initial reason for my complaint was the Network unavailability preventing phone calls or a text. From approximately 2 pm and into the evening 11/14/16. Note: related issues are listed below including a partial list of loses incurred as a result of T-Mobiles failure. On 11/15/16 at 10:00 am I phoned customer service from a landline. Both calls were connected to a dial tone while on hold for a supervisor. Note: this appears to be protocol rather than coincidental accident. This same behavior has been experienced by me on past calls to customer care suggesting a high probability of deliberate efforts to frustrate the customer instead of addressing their problem with T-Mobile. The same problem continued after leaving a WiFi connection on 11/15/16 prompting me to visit a T-Mobile store which was close to my office.

    At the very least, I request reimbursement of $18.00 and assurance in writing T-Mobile will finally address and put a stop to the bad manners displayed by their representatives in the Philippines, and a renewed focus on providing customer service instead of customer frustration and Customer I don't Care. It is noteworthy that offshore representatives in the Philippines is where this tactic is pandemic. Perhaps T-Mobile must implement meaningful oversight if they insist on offshore agents. Past written complaints to T-Mobile remain ignored. T-Mobile has a policy of not responding in writing. I understand their reluctance since I caught them in a lie and attempt to defraud customers on their rebate cards. They did reply to my BBB complaint. Hence I suggest you also file a BBB complaint against T-Mobile. You will likely get an answer through the BBB.

    In June of 2016, I decided to give T-Mobile a try as our cell phone carrier for my 14 yr old son. I put $100 dollars down because my credit wasn't the best at that time, and the rest was billed to me monthly. When we received the phone 6 days later, we immediately turned it on and gave it a try, and noticed that we had zero bars and weren't able to make any phone calls from inside our home. We then tried to make calls outside, but still had no luck. I pulled up their coverage map and seen that our area was solid pink, which means we should have 4G LTE coverage in our entire city of Elkhorn, WI.

    Immediately, I called T-Mobile Customer Service and told them that we don't have any bars, and that we are not able to make or receive any calls on the new phone we just received. The representative I spoke to, told me that this would not be a problem, that she would immediately send out a signal booster and that would solve the problem we are having. I am not a very tech savvy person, so I trusted that she knew what she was doing, and that this would solve our problem. She then told me that she has to put in a work order for this signal booster and that it may take 2 to 3 weeks for us to receive it. During this time, my son figured out that if he stood in a itty-bitty spot in the corner of our house, he could SOMETIMES, get 1 maybe 2 bars.

    So two and a half weeks went by, and I still had not received the signal booster, so I decided to give T-Mobile Customer Service a call again, and find out where the booster was. I spoke with a different representative at that time, and said she pulled up my account and did not find any documentation about us needing a signal booster. I then explained the problems we were experiencing, and she said that a signal booster wouldn't help us anyway, and that she would like to transfer to someone who could better help me with this problem. (Please keep in mind, I've had the phone now for almost 3 weeks.)

    This new representative instructed my son, who knows much more about electronics than I do, to check and change a bunch of settings, to see if that would help us to better receive or make calls, and it made zero change. The only thing it did change was the fact that he was able to use our home Wi-Fi, in order to use the phone, and that was only for when we were at home. This still meant we couldn't use the phone anywhere else. He said that he was still going to work on our account and that he was going to request some type of work order, which meant they would have their outside field engineers check and see if there were more people in our area having the same problems. He said they would also check the tower closest to us to see if there was a problem there. He said this may take anywhere from 2 weeks to a month but they will keep me posted.

    Once again, I never heard from anyone, and my son was still unable to use his phone within a 15 mile radius, or when he was at home and connected to our Wi-Fi. Then in August or September, my son was at the park in Lake Geneva, WI with some friends and had a emergency. First he tried to call me, 5 times, and each time the call was dropped. He then tried to call 911 twice, and was unable to do that too because of no service. Thank God, there was a mother outside doing yard work and she called me, and told me he needed help.

    When I picked him up, and he me how many times he tried to call me and 911, I was absolutely livid with T-Mobile!!. I once again called their Customer Service and told them my situation, and how I haven't been able to use this damn phone since I got it in June (it was now September) and her answer was as useless as the rest of theirs. I told her this is unacceptable and that I need to talk to someone who is willing to help me out, and she told me at that time that even her supervisor wouldn't be able to help me.

    I told her I spoke to someone a month or so earlier and asked to speak that department again so she transferred me and FINALLY, I was able to talk to someone who actually cared about my situation. He basically told me that they've been stringing me along, and that there is NOTHING that he or anyone at T-Mobile can do for us, as far helping us to be able to use this phone in our town. He advised me to get the money together and buy the phone, and get a new carrier. I took his advice and saved everything I could out of my disability checks, I am a disabled, single mom, and don't have even 2 pennies to waste on something that doesn't work. But, I was able to save enough money to buy the iPhone SE and close out my contract with T-Mobile.

    On October 8th, 2016, I spoke to someone and asked her several times, EXACTLY how much it was to buy the phone and get out of my contract with T-Mobile, and she told me $208.31!! I used my check card and I paid that exact amount, and haven't heard from them since last week when I received a bill in the amount of $79.18. Once again, I called them and explained this entire situation over and over to 3 different employees. Not one of them were willing to work with me.

    I then asked to speak to their supervisor and she transferred me to a girl named Caitlyn. I explained everything for the 4th time and she was probably the most cold-hearted employee I'd ever talked to in my 42 on this earth. She said that T-Mobile provided a service to me and that I needed to pay for these services even though the services I paid for NEVER WORKED. I cannot believe they are still making me pay for this $80.00 bill even though we have never been able to use the phone, and even though the person I spoke to when I paid it off, said I was paid up and no longer had a contract with T-Mobile.

    I believe that T-Mobile strung me along for as long as they could so that I couldn't return the phone and terminate my contract. I found out in July that I could have returned the phone 2 weeks after I received it. But they kept telling me they were going to help me and by the time I realized they weren't going to help me, it was way past the 2 weeks.

    I am so sorry that this is so long, I just wanted to make sure that I am telling you everything you need to know to help me out. I don't know what else to do. I have since went with Verizon and have a monthly payment with them. $79.00 is a lot of money for me and could get my son a few, very nice things for Christmas. Everything I told you in this statement is absolutely true. In fact I and sure pretty sure that T-Mobile has documented everything I called them about. Maybe you can get farther with them than I have. I really, really appreciate you helping me with this situation.

    I have NEVER been more disappointed, frustrated and irritated in my life. This is my very first review on anything. Prior to having T-Mobile I was with AT&T for 7 years. I must say AT&T customers' service is WAY BETTER than T- Mobile. 11 days ago my iPhone 6s stopped working. So I went into the store to get a replacement phone. Which in the past has not been a problem. Should get here into 1-2 business days. I went into the store and when getting my IMEI number they tried telling me my "phone wasn't bought through T-Mobile". So I spent an hour with customer service inside a T-Mobile store to get transferred around customer care until Apple. I ended up hanging up because I was tired from a long work week.

    The following day I again got the runaround. Finally talking to Apple tech saying this has been happening to A LOT of people and they found my iPhone and it was from T-Mobile. Obviously, why would I lie? Saying they placed the order and it would be there by the following week. Still cellphoneless. I called T-Mobile this past Monday to see why my phone is taking so long. They supervisor said "Oh it looks like they forgot to place your order". They reassured me that it would be in my mailbox NO LATER than Thursday. Here it is Saturday, November the 11th, 2016 and still NO CELLPHONE! That is absolutely UNACCEPTABLE! So again I WASTED my time, the little time I had.

    I called T-Mobile explain the situation and I spoke to a supervisor and she reassured me that 1/2 would be taken off my cellphone bill and a phone would be here in no time. But, again when I got transferred to customer service Apple tech they had no idea what was going on. After an hour in between my jobs. I then had to go into T-Mobile. I have to go into the store again tomorrow to solve this situation that should have been fixed the first time. I hope the president of the company reads this because this is the WORST customer service I HAVE ever experienced. I'm very disappointed and not happy at all!

    They send you surprisingly high bills even if you go to the store and think you are paid in full. I have had my service cut off or slowed down when I was lied to and told I have unlimited service. This company promised me I could keep my bill low and every month they add fees. Do not sign up with them is my recommendation!

    Service was not provided by this company for 5 months of this year which resulted in me canceling my service. I requested a shipping label to return a Cell Spot and was not sent one. I was billed for the Cell Spot and the entire month of service even though I canceled half way through the month and did not receive service at my home. I was told that adjustments would be made to my account, but instead received a notice threatening to take me to collections. Why is it okay for a company not to provide service, not to follow through on their promise to adjust billing and send a shipping label, and then to threaten me? What other repercussions can I take?

    I moved to Chicago from Sydney, Australia for 6 months and needed a phone to use while I was there. I went with T-Mobile because they were cheap and said I could change the plan online or by calling. Unfortunately, my sim card often fails to register for no apparent reason, and I can't make or receive messages or calls. I don't get reception within my own building (which they assured me would get reception).

    When the first month was over I decided to renew my plan but downgrade to a cheaper version. Unfortunately, their website did not let me downgrade my plan and I was told to call. I couldn't even renew my plan because T-Mobile is so terrible that I didn't even get service in my own room. I went to T-Mobile who told me to call to change the plan as that was the easiest option. When I told them I was getting reception I was told to upgrade to a more expensive plan. Their customer service was incredibly rude and unhelpful and I regret spending a dollar on T-Mobile. Do not use.

    I have been with T-mobile for a few years. When I initially started with them a few years back I was beyond satisfied and thrilled with my service carrier. Back in May I recently decided to add a line to my existing account. I went to a T-Mobile center (96th & Broadway) and got started. Apparently what the stores tell you and what the company T-mobile tells you are 2 different things.

    Fast forward a few months and I have an outstanding bill of over $500. Not owing money for any devices when I asked to be provided with a breakdown and clarification I was left waiting and unanswered. I am in the process of filing a complaint with the BBB. These people are thieves and claim to not make mistakes or errors when even NASA makes mistakes.

    I am saddened and disappointed by the response and reception that I have received from this company. What this company was and what it is now is day and night. The unprofessional protocol of Customer service reps and the lack of communication amongst the T-mobile company is unacceptable. I will never, ever, ever use this company or their services ever. I will make sure that I let my family and friends know that too. T-mobile is a company of deceiving liars and thieves. TAKE YOUR MONEY ELSEWHERE.

    When the new iPhone 7, T-Mobile allowed consumer to trade in their iPhone 6 for iPhone 7 with a charge of about US$300.00. But after they sent the iPhone 7 to the customer, they charge us for the full price instead of allowing us to trade in. This is a extremely dishonest way to do business. I cannot imagine such a big company like T-Mobile can do this. Absolutely ridiculous. Further, we noted from their advertisement that they offer $20.00 per line for unlimited call and unlimited data if one account has 4 lines. Then we quickly called the representative who confirmed this plan. So, we gather 4 lines and called back. Then we were told by the representative that there is no such plan. I really don't know how they do business. Why they cannot keep their promise if they cannot do it.

So at this point I have 2 different phone numbers for about ten days so I switch my phone with my old number and close the account with the new number. They continuously charge me for two accounts. I pay it because you don't want to lose my number thinking it would get resolved even the store employee told me they owed me but I have to deal with customer care.

Just in case we were bugging... My husband went to the store himself and tried to make a payment towards the bill. They said we didn't have to cause there was a credit and we were good for the month... to not worry. Again, T-Mobile rep was called just to clarify we were all clear. They told my husband to hold on just to make sure everything was fine... and the green light was given.

    Then I switched my plan to add a fourth line too after that. Next billing cycle comes in... It says I owe T-Mobile over $700!!! I called them up... Spoke to a rep. She's like "We can accept payment arrangements!" I told her I'm not paying for something your company made a mistake on. She says that the credit bill was supposed to go on the equipment plan, and she apologizes. I told her I'm not paying it. Then she transfers me to another dept, and the call drops.

    I am a new customer with T-Mobile. I began my order online and completed the order with a representative over the phone for an S7 Edge and On5. The representative made an offer for a certified pre-owned S7 Edge, but I didn't notice that the order was actually processed for a certified pre-owned S7 and not the S7 Edge. Once I received the phones, the S7 and the On5, I requested to do an exchange on the S7 for the S7 Edge. Since I purchased the phones online, the exchange cannot be made in the store, which is a huge inconvenience. In order to exchange the phone, I had to purchase the phone that I actually wanted, wait for that phone to be shipped, and once delivered, I can then ship the unwanted phone back to T-Mobile.

    I was advised that once the unwanted phone is received, it will take 7 to 10 business days for me to receive my refund for the unwanted phone. So I paid for the S7 Edge, which was shipped and delivered to me. I then realized that I did not need a second line, which was the On5. I was advised by customer service that I can return the On5 along with the unwanted S7 in the same return box, even though one was an exchange and the other was a return. I returned both phones via the UPS return shipping label that was provided to me from T-Mobile. I shipped the package on 10/11/2016 and the package was delivered to T-Mobile on 10/14/2016, which is confirmed via the UPS tracking. T-Mobile provided me with a Handset Research Form number on 10/17/2016. I then received an email from T-Mobile on 10/22/2016, stating that the phones were not received by their warehouse, and that they were closing out the Handset Research Form.

    I immediately contacted T-Mobile and provided the tracking number which the representative tracked and confirmed that she sees that the package was delivered. This representative then told me I would need to wait 7 more business days for an update regarding this issue. I told her that was unacceptable and requested to speak with a supervisor. She then insisted that I continue to speak with her, and she even told me that she would be processing the refund, and should see a credit on my bank statement that day. I immediately requested to be connected with a supervisor, because there was no way that she could process a refund on a Saturday, and I would receive it that same day. The representative then transferred me (I forget the name of the department) without even advising me. The representative I was transferred to, stated that she would be processing the cancellation for the second line on my account.

    So now I question, how can a cancellation be processed, if T-Mobile has claimed that they did not receive the phones??? I completed the cancellation request and then spoke with a "supervisor" and the supervisor even confirmed that there was no way the representative could even process a refund. The supervisor also provided me with a new Handset Research Form number, and stated that this was going to be escalated as a high priority. The supervisor also stated that I should receive my refund on 10/24/2016, and if it is not received, wait at least 3 business days with the 3rd business day being 10/26/2016. Guess what? No refund on 10/24/2016. I contacted T-Mobile on 10/26/2016, because I still didn't get my refund, and I was then told it take 3-5 business days to receive an update on the Handset Research Form number, not a refund.

    Per this representative, I should receive an update regarding this form number, and then it can take up to 5 business days for me to receive the refund. So today is the 5th business day and still no update. I did a chat with T-Mobile, and the representative stated that it can take 6-7 business days for an update. I then called T-Mobile, and the representative stated that it can take 8-10 business days for an update. Now I'm ready to pull my hair out!!!

    Within less than a month, I have paid more than $1,000.00 to T-Mobile. A little over $500 for my initial order, over $400 for the exchanged phone, and then $130 for the first month's bill. This is outrageous. My refund is for more than $500, so I am extremely disappointed with the entire process. And I didn't even mention that my payment for my first month's bill was for two lines, and THREE EIP payments for a total of 3 phones, since they have not completed the exchange and return for the two phones. So now, not only am I waiting for money to be returned, I also need to wait for my T-Mobile account to be credited approximately $50. I am so disappointed with T-Mobile, extremely upset, and ready to cancel.

    I fell in love with the idea of having unlimited data with 3 children and having paid tremendous amounts of data overage with my previous carrier. After seeing numerous advertisements from T-Mobile that brainwashed me of thinking they can be the solution to my never-ending problem with overages, I decided to move my family of 5 from a 20-year relationship I had with my previous carrier to the glorious T-Mobile. It turned out to be the biggest mistake I've ever made. I have no cell service at my home, which wasn't a big surprise considering all the reviews I've read about their mediocre coverage, but what fired me up the most was the fact that they slow down data speed once you reach a certain limit in your area (from what was explained to me when I called about the slow to non-existent data speed I was experiencing).

    My previous carrier was straightforward with this and let their customers know that they have a plan that offers no overage fees but they slow your data speed. I didn't opt for this at the time and in return ended up with high monthly statements from all the crazy $ increments for data overage. That's why I switched in the first place!! I was NEVER told by T-Mobile about this. When I called, I was told by a manager that I should've read the small print before signing!! What!?? What a deceptive way to conduct business and NOWHERE on their form talks about slowing down their data speed. She said even their commercials have small print?? What a scam. Not only do we have no cell service, we have poor data service as well. In the end, it was a regretful mistake and I learned a valuable lesson that if sounds too good to be true then it definitely is!!!

But, when I set payment arrangements with T-Mobile and then ask to change them they force me to wait till my current arrangement "fails" in order to set up a new one. By waiting for it to fail they suspend my service and charge me $60 ($20 per line, I have 3). Then they will make new arrangements. Uh... what? Seriously? I've been with them 10 years. Who's the bigger idiot, lol. And, one of the 3 lines I have... belongs to my mother, who passed away a month ago and I don't have the heart to turn off the $10/monthly service fee.

    So, you charge me $20 to restore a line for a dead person and the service for that line is $10 a month. This month... I owed them $43.93 left on the payment arrangement I had in place. Only asking them to hold the line from Friday till Monday. And they couldn't manage it without letting my arrangement "fail", charging me $60, and then arranging the $43. Really?

    I bought a Samsung Galaxy On5 at a T-Mobile shop. I chose a Pay As You Go plan. I asked lots of technical questions about the offered services, what would be included and what I would have to pay for extra. A few days later surprises started. I got charged more than 30$ for a WhatsApp call of ca. 15 min over the Wi-Fi. I went to the shop and was told that that should not happen. I called the T-Mobile customer care and was explained that it is one of the downsides of not being on a contract. I wished I had been told at the moment of purchasing phone and plan. The week after I was called by the customer care of a company I bought online from. At a certain point the line dropped and I realized my credit had been used up completely. I called the T-Mobile customer service and was informed that, on a pay As You Go, I am charged even when I receive phone calls from an American number. Again, I wished I had been told that before.

    I had asked all those questions! But it is not over. At the shop I was told I could unlock my phone after 45 days. When the 45 days were over, the customer care said I needed to spend 50$ additional credit. Loaded 50$ I was told I could unload my phone only temporarily for 30 days. I tried to unlock and the T-Mobile App would not work. I called the customer care and was also explained that, in order to unlock temporarily, I would have to buy a daily or weekly data plan because the phone could not be unlocked by either them or by myself using the Wi-Fi. I got really upset and complained about all that had happened since purchase. I was offered a day pass for 5$ to temporarily unlock. Given the continuous changes of rules and terms, I insisted to know what I would have to do to unlock permanently. It turned out I need to wait 1 year or recharge other 50$!

    Not to mention their App always says "Sorry we are hitting rough waters. Try again later or visit our website." I spoke with so many different people of the customer care, and I conclude I have not unluckily fished the lazy and nasty employee, but all employees are instructed to behave this way.

I have called the monthly routinely monthly to see if I can get anything taken care of, because not only did they not pay the last bill or the cancellation fee, now Sprint took me to collections. and I have to pay 356 dollars to get it removed from my credit.

While all of this is happening my roommate who is also on the account with me gets a text msg saying that our bill is 190!!! For what she calls them while I'm the other line with them... so we both are on the phone with T-mobile... They tell her that the extra charges are 20 dollars for me getting a replacement phone (which I was told was a free replacement under the 1 year manufacture's warranty) and there is a 15 dollar charge for the T-mobile rep to look at my phone (because all he did was look at my phone, verify my address and told me to look out for ups, did nothing more).

I gave the lady my e-mail address because she needed to e-mail me the return label, otherwise I would get charged for the full retail value of the replacement phone.

    Shortly after I became disabled I was force to leave Hawaii and our phone service was Mobi, which I have to admit the phones weren't great but the service was great and the price was great. About 3.5 years ago I became disabled and was force to move to the mainland to live with family. At that time I switched to T-Mobile. From the first day I had nothing but trouble. East El Paso said they were having computer problems but go ahead and take the two phones homes and within a couple of hours they would be working. Well after 2 weeks and 3 days the first phone finally worked, 5 weeks later the second phone finally started to work (keep in mind I was talking to them at least once a day and still to this day I still have never received the refund I was promised the payments I made while the phones didn't work).

    About month later I had to move to Maine with family for medical reasons. My accounts were unlimited everything. My monthly payments start changing every month. Anywhere from $76.00 to $112.00. I kept paying the $76.00 I owed, until I was forced to pay the full amount, which they promised that when this got straightened out I would get the refund for overpayment or I can use it for future payments. I still have not received any refund. After moving back home to Hawaii I spoke to the Mililani store manager who seemed very nice and assured me that they can see what happened and they will get it all corrected. I explained that I needed to get a second phone for my wife, he nicely explained that if I waited 62 more days I could get a second line and a galaxy edge phone for free and my monthly payments would only be $78.00 per month for both phones and the manager on staff quotes me $217.00 for the phone and $157.00 per month.

    64 days later (Brook a young lady - rep for T-Mobile is working in Walmart helping anyone looking at the phones. She explained that I could buy a new phone but the chip size has changed so I walked 5+ miles to T-Mobile to get a different size phone chip. To my surprise it was $21.00 for a new chip and they claim they cannot transfer my information to chip. While I was there a young man and the on staff manager were helping me. I asked what would be the cost to add another phone line and phone (galaxy edge phone) They said new monthly charge would be $157.00 and $150.00 for the phone. I walked back to Walmart for and Brook was still there and she got me the same phone I wanted for $61.00 less than at the T-Mobile store. After all this I still only have 1 phone and 1 service.

    For the past three days, I have noticed that I no longer have 4G access on my iPhone 4s which otherwise works perfectly. T-Mobile has decided to relegate all iPhone 4's and older models to 2G service while they upgrade their network. I just called AT&T and they continue to service 4s phones. However, their rates are slightly higher. Also, AT&T charges for international data and texts which T-Mobile does not with their Simple Choice Plan.

    I think the best option that is available to me now is the other carrier that will enable me to choose a network provider, either T-Mobile (not!) or AT&T which would normally be a no-brainer at this time. The only downside is that the carrier has limited to non-existent international data service if one travels outside of the U.S. What a mess! T-Mobile is going to lose a lot of older iPhone customers with their decision to no longer support slightly older iPhones. Shame on T-Mobile for their disregard to loyal customers with perfectly-working smart phones!

    T-Mobile has a custom of ripping off consumers while stonewalling access to information to avoid transparency and use it to illegally charge customers. I just have the T-Mobile pay per month mobile service late September. Texting from US to Ottawa a few times and they charge me about 9 dollars which is supposed to be 10 pennies each text message. Calling their customer service to inquire about what happened and they said they can not tell me what number I texted due to confidentiality!!!

    Come on! If it was the number I texted, and I am OVERcharged for that, I have all the reasons in the world to know what that is. Period. I am asking consumers out there to contact BBB and State Attorney General and have your own lawyers when encountering problems with T-Mobile. They seem to be arrogant above the laws just to rip off consumers to satisfy their greeds. In my case, the guy agreed to drop the charges but that does not guarantee they will not do it again.

    T-Mobile is by far the worst business I have ever dealt with. They lie to get a sale (Crown Point, In. Broadway location) and could care less that they are causing families financial distress. It appears that they (store and corporate) can make their own rules and disregard any responsibility to the customer, who is making them filthy rich. They give you the run around on the phone and all the reps read from the exact same "script". "I am so sorry you are experiencing problems, I will do what I can to resolve them today". They never resolve anything. The only thing they accomplish is causing more frustration and wasting your valuable time. I should have done my due diligence first before ever stepping foot inside a T-Mobile store. I hope I can save at least one person or family from the nightmare we have been forced to endure with them.

    While I generally enjoyed T-Mobile customer service, the service in my area was grossly understated on the coverage map. I couldn't stay connected at home, in the car, or at most places in the city. The only place I could receive service was my office, where I don't use the phone. After multiple calls, I was allowed to cancel my service as there was nothing else they could do to improve the service. They told me to keep trying back every so often to see if there is an improvement in the tower strength in my area.

    I switched back to AT&T and was so green at it, I had no idea it would be three months before I would ever receive the money to pay T-Mobile for their phones. I did have one last bill that I planned to pay off, but wanted to pay everything together. I started getting nervous when the bills started turning a little nasty threatening to turn me over to Collections, so I pressed AT&T to process my submission, which required calls almost every two to three days. I believe these mobile companies know the scheme.

    Anyway, so I receive the cards and call to pay the balance on the last statement sent and find out that three to four days ago, I was moved to Collections and assessed a fee of 50 dollars. I kindly requested for the 50 dollar fee to be waived but T-Mobile shifted me to the collection agency (AmShur) who refused to waive the fee AND told me that if it didn't get paid they would never unlock my devices or let me come back to T-Mobile without paying it.

    I hadn't had time to process this, but was willing to ask for help. What came next was a "Terms and Conditions" quoting, angry supervisor who made me feel as if I was a person in default of car payment still riding around in the car. She assumed that I was trying to scam them as "customers always want their devices unlocked but don't want to abide by the policy." As these are not people I am used to dealing with, they became irate at me, as if anger at my asking questions and trying to request help was an infringement on their time and human rights, and belittled me by saying I was "asking the same thing over and over again." Well, I was.

    I have never seen any agency that is interested in retaining a customer treat anyone like this. She stated that "Customer service will tell you anything to make you happy, but my job is to collect the money you owe. I don't care that you didn't know about the fee. If you had read the TERMS and CONDITIONS you would see that we can charge you all kinds of fees. And you should consider yourself lucky that it's only fifty dollars. A lot of people pay several hundred dollars. Your option is to pay it or pay the original charge, and your devices will not be unlocked, and you will owe the money if you try to go back to T-Mobile."

    Well somehow, it seems that T-Mobile is actually capitalizing off of these fees because they know that there is no way any other service provider will get you the rebate in time. So with that being said, T-Mobile has lost a customer. I'm sorry I didn't thoroughly read the Terms and Conditions to see that they might be a wolf in pink sheep's clothing.

    My experience with T-Mobile has been absolutely horrible. I switched from AT&T to try to save some money and was promised a price - the first bill was in fact more expensive than AT&T. The salesperson told us all sorts of lies to get us to switch. Some examples are: Price was higher than told (I checked 3 times and wrote it down). The warranty policy was not as stated: I was told that there was NO deductible. When my phone broke, there was in fact one. The features requested were not added. I have a long list of grief and time spent with customer service, including after I disconnected the phone and had it unlocked. It took me 1 visit to the store and 3 LONG telephone calls and my phones are still not unlocked. NOT SURPRISED THAT THEY HAVE 1 STAR REVIEW.

    T-Mobile promised me I would get an iPhone 7 for free "if you changed your plan." The plan was much higher than the regular plan I had, plus I had to pay all the bills I had from T-Mobile in order to get the plan. It was a big lie. Once I paid the bills and everything, I ordered the iPhone 7 and they cancelled it within a week. And their idiotic response was, "You didn't confirm an email we sent you." This was a trap because I personally signed everything, there was no reason to confirm via email. Be extremely careful on what "offers" they give you, because it's a lie.

    So my phone freezes on me last night while trying to take a picture. Ends up shutting itself off and at this point has not turned back on. Only time it does is after the batteries been out for 10 min or more and it only goes to the T-mobile screen then shuts off again. Well this morning full charge doesn't turn on at all. I took the battery out again and this time the phone ceases to turn on even to the T-mobile screen. I spoke with a supervisor on live chat with T-mobile yesterday. Her name was Karen because Ryan the live chat csr basically was nonchalant and didn't seem to care to want to help me out. So the supervisor places an order for a replacement phone to be delivered the next day to the store nearest my home. I walk to the store today and find out the phone's on backorder. Add this to the number of unresolved issues I've had over the last 2 years.

    Now it's to the point where I'm currently talking to a different supervisor. I've explained the history of issues that her company has never fixed and the fact that this phone initially had a next day shipping order then 5 days waiting period on the backorder only to find out it was actually 17 days I'd have to wait. So I ask her “Is there any way to get me a replacement phone today?” She says "Yea but you'll have to buy the phone in full and start a new payment plan." Now given this would be my 8th phone with them in a little more than 2 years I'm not about to start a new plan with them when they can't even fix their current state. Currently I've been waiting to speak to manager now for almost a half hour. I'm questioning if the new supervisor (Jan) is even being honest with me about reaching out to her manager for me.

    Bottom line they lie to you, pass the buck when you need assistance in troubleshooting and play stupid when you ask them to do even a little extra like reaching out to another store to see if they have a replacement phone in stock. If you would like to know more about the issues I have with T-mobile please reply and I will gladly fill you in as to why you should stay far away from them if you can help it. If I were to continue the review though on one feed I'd run out of space. Take care everyone and I hope you found this somewhat helpful.

    I woke up today to find none of the 4 T-mobile phones could send or receive calls. The wifi worked, you could play games but calling and texting were no longer an option. I contacted their online chat, tried several things, nothing worked. They sent me to the store. Found out once I was a few blocks from home the phone worked, but I still couldn't contact my house. T-mobile tells me they can get me up and running all I need is a booster. Problem I left the house without any cash and they will not put it on my account which I've had for 2 years & it's always been in good standing.

    So they tell me to contact online chat again & maybe they will just send me one. Well Romel ** was not as pleasant as the first guy. I need to be patient, they're improving services & no, he has no way of sending me a booster. Oh yeah, he gave me another number to call so I can continue to waste more time on this. This is how I see it. When I signed up with T-mobile I didn't sign up for a booster, improving services shouldn't mean making my service worse and if you are, then send me the booster. Do that and problem solved. Alas the only solution to my problem will be to find another carrier.

    T-Mobile may have good service and connection, but when it comes to their billing and inside people they truly have no idea what they are talking about. My father started an account with them and they sent him 2 bills. He paid them both off and both cleared the bank, yet they couldn't locate the payment. Then after calling and explaining the situation to several people, they continued to transfer us all over the place until we reached the 7th person. Thankfully they were somewhat able to resolve the problem, but when they say "you have my word" don't take that crap. I would drop off of them so fast and believe once the contract is over they will have one less family to deal with. They may make money, but they have no time or care for customers or their staff. If they cared about the staff they would all be trained properly.

    I have worked in call centers for years and the least they can do if a transfer is to occur is warm transfer, meaning they will get the next person on the phone and brief them about the situation so you don't have to continue to explain yourself. If you want to go with T-Mobile I would highly reconsider, unless money is no object and you don't care where your money goes because they will over bill and not refund, and just put your money towards whatever they choose to.

    T-Mobile's systems are set up to over charge for their equipment and also in some cases you feel you are being double charged. In my case I had two separate incidents with T-Mobile after being a loyal customer for over 11 years. I purchased a Fitbit from T-Mobile under their monthly payment plan. I paid off the item, it went through and now a month later my new bill reflects the item again being charged back to my account as a new item that is resulting in my monthly balance being $118 dollars higher. The second incident was a damaged leased phone. The phone need to be replaced. The insurance on the phone which is paid monthly did not cover the phone. Phone had to be paid for and then after giving T-Mobile $420 in total a new phone was another $699 dollars. I know this is big business but the consumer is getting the shaft.

    I am new to T-Mobile, and I went to the store to purchase an iPhone 7Plus. When I purchase my phone on 9-15-2016, I was told that it will be in Sept 23-Oct 10, 2016. However, I received a letter a few days later telling me that my credit was declined. I call T-Mobile and was told that letter was sent out in an error. Next, I receive a text on 10-4-2016, informing me that my payment was declined and my order was cancelled. I call T-Mobile, and was speaking to someone that their English was unbearable and I ask for her supervisor, at that point the telephone hung up. I called back.

    Long story short I am very upset at this point and spoke to someone who too disconnect the phone on me. He calls me back, tells me I have to reorder. Now, here's where I am very disappointed with the company. I am now told my phone won't be in till Nov 1- Nov 31, 2016. Never again or will I tell anyone to purchase anything from them (T-Mobile). This is bull and they don't really know what damn date it will be in and should tell the customers for we can choose if we want to wait for them!

    I have been with T-Mobile for more than 10 yrs now, never had a problem with them. I have 5 lines in my account and connections are all great until about a month and a half ago. In my work area (where I am running my business and cellphone is my major means of communication), within 5 blocks range, my network connection becomes VERY unstable. It was great before then, but all of the sudden, one bar to no bar at all. My phone cannot even find T-Mobile as available network in my area. T-mobile said, they are upgrading the 5 towers in that area and will take 1 month to fix. Meanwhile, I am using my WI-FI calling, which is also unstable for whatever reason when all our other devices can connect without a problem.

    One month after I started calling customer support and T-Mobile, they said the upgrade will be done in 24 hours. 48 hours gone by, problem still exist. I call again, they offered $10 credit, because they said, "They don't usually give credit when they are upgrading the tower." Are you kidding me??? I am losing business because my customer cannot reach me. They said, another 48 hours. 55 hrs later, problem still exist, this time they promised another 48 hours and offered me $30 credit this time. I still did not take it.

    6 weeks without a network, I call again, the tech guy said he will be "brutally honest. THEY DO NOT KNOW WHEN IT WILL BE FIXED. IT IS FIXED WHEN I STARTED GETTING PHONE CALLS AGAIN." The loyalty department offered me $40 credit this time, one month for just my line, because my line is the only one getting an issues. I talked to somebody today again, still no resolution, they do not know where exactly the tower is, I am so frustrated and already losing my patience.

    I bought my phone (01-Galaxy 7 Edge) in March 2016. October 2016, phone started getting hot and battery would not hold a charge. Took the phone into store #8696 and spoke with Raul ** Employee # **. He was the only one out of T- Mobile that went out of his way to help. I give him an A+ for customer service. On the other hand my phone was unusable. I need my phone because I have an 87 year old father who is terminally ill. I wanted a replacement phone but they would not give me one. I called Corporate and spoke with Kimothee Employee # **. She was not helpful at all!!!

    Since my phone was under warranty and because it was a Samsung I would not have a phone from 7 to 10 business days! Totally unacceptable, you have phones in the store and could have promptly replaced mine, Kimothee said they were unable to swap from the store. This needs to be changed, we are paying customers treat us like we are.

    A couple of years ago we were with Verizon, my husband had an issue with his phone, Verizon swapped the phone out immediately with no wait. I really suggest you do this to make this easier for the consumer! We have dropped calls since we have been with you and there is too much red tape to get things done for a customer.

    The day after I received a text from T-Mobile the Galaxy 7 edge is on back order which will be even a longer wait! Very disappointed in your customer service, very disappointed in T- Mobile experience overall. After the contract is up we will be returning to Verizon where they appreciate their customers. My advice to you is, if see a T- Mobile store run don't walk, run away fast!! You are not appreciated as a customer there with the attitude that they JUST DON'T CARE!!!

    Worst customer service experience than Virgin Mobile. The representatives have no knowledge whatsoever. Took me about 45 minutes just to change my plan, and pay for my phone. Kept being transferred to different departments, and was placed on hold for the last line, till the phone call ended. Hearing that these representatives are from Manila Philippines, have no idea of what they are doing, and are extremely unreliable. I wouldn't care about the great service, customer service is much more important than that. Pay good money to people who have been in the business for a long time, and know what they are doing. T-Mobile, you suck!

    T-mobile customer service is so horrible. I do not suggest anyone to go for it. I always make a payment on time and on June 2016 I didn't got any bill at all. I call to customer service department to know my payment. They said "you owe nothing at all." I feel so weird then I thought that's fine. Then on July 2016 I got double bill. I live paycheck to paycheck and its tough to pay double. I talked to customer service people again and I state that "I want to pay on June but you all said I owe nothing then you all charge me double. I cant afford it." Then customer service lady said "you pay your monthly bill as it is and when you will have money and feel comfortable pay it. It sound better now." T-Mobile cut off my connection, mention that I didn't made any payment. If you all are giving me wrong information that's not my fault and why should I suffer from all these things. T-mobile is just worse. Never gonna suggest anyone to go for it.
