After 7 years and two bait and switch episodes, I finally tried to cut the cord with T-Mobile. I went to store the day after Thanksgiving to pay my current bill, I was deluged with black Friday specials that I was eligible for, beginning with a free upgrade IPHONE 7 with a trade in of an eligible phone, I trade in my perfectly pristine IPHONE 5 which was unlocked and color blue and accepted the offer. Two weeks later I received a text from T-Mobile notifying me that I was no longer eligible for the promotion. When I attempted to return the phone that I didn't need in the first place, and get my phone back they told me it was too late to return phone (14 days) and I couldn't get my phone back. I cancelled my 5 lines.

I've had nothing but horrible experiences with T-Mobile. My most recent experience was the absolute worst and it's not even over yet. Basically I purchased a brand new phone and it isn't staying connected to the wi-fi calling. I've been in the store twice now for this problem and it's still not resolved. No one wants to solve my problem. I was promised an exchange but no one will exchange the phone even though it has problems. Basically T-Mobile is right 100% of the time and the customer is wrong because if the customer was right my phone would have been replaced the first time and definitely the second time. I'm so fed up with the level of customer service.
Oh and my phone costs $200, my boyfriend's costs $200 and our plan is $100 a month. In my opinion with that much money being thrown to T-Mobile they should be WAY more helpful but apparently money is no issue for T-Mobile and I am seriously considering switching carriers and taking everyone with me. Their customer service in person and on the phone is awful, no one cares to actually fix your issues. I've never had any issue with Verizon. They did everything they could to help me and always did. I have nothing but horrible experiences with T-Mobile. It's uncalled for and unacceptable.

I called requesting the free line during the promotional period and was promised the promotion would began in my next billing cycle. Prior to the next billing cycle I called to verify with a representative and was told that my account was not scheduled for the change and that the promotion was no longer available. I then requested to speak with a supervisor who promised me that my fifth line would receive a credit monthly in March 2017 and thereafter. However, when the next bill occurred no credit was applied and I was told that I could not be credited because the same supervisor wrote that I did not qualify for the promotion according manager AMY #** on April 5, 2017.
This not the only time T-Mobile has promised a plan and has not delivered. They claim 4G service in the same areas as Verizon which is also untrue. Majority of the time my phone is on 2G. Due to this grand error I will seek legal representation because all of my conversations were recorded and representatives were notified as such due to inconsistent information provided by multiple representatives and supervisors. STAY AWAY!! You GET what you pay for.

We have been T-mobile customers for more than 4 years. We chose T-mobile because we travel abroad, and want to use unlocked phones so we can swap out SIM cards when we are abroad. Recently we made the mistake of buying a phone from T-mobile. At a T-mobile store, we were emphatic that we needed to unlock the phone within a few weeks of buying it due to upcoming travel. We were willing to buy the phone from Apple or another vendor, but we were told that we could unlock the phone if we made two payments in advance.
Later, we called T-mobile support to unlock the phone, and were given a different story - we needed to pay off the phone. Not a problem, as I said, we were prepared to buy the phone outright from another vendor; and T-mobile gives you absolutely no discount - you pay full retail price. So, we paid off the phone and were told to wait 24-48 hours for an e-mail with instructions to unlock the phone. After more than 48 hours later, we received a message saying that the phone could not be unlocked. We were lied to twice - in the store, and later by customer service. We wanted to return the phone for a full refund, and were told that we could not get a full refund. Bottom line: Assume everyone at T-mobile is lying. Do not give them your business. All we can do is get whatever refund is available and switch providers.

T-Mobile free device promotions is a fraud, they will tell that you get a free device as part of being a loyal customer and later start charging for the free device. It happened to me during 2016 Black Friday promotion, I was told that you get a new free line and free device. Later they start charging for the device on my monthly bill and called and complained. The sales guys lied to me that device is free. I could not believe that he outright lied to me, 3 months later I kept getting the bill of device and new free line. I called the customer care and they said "it's not free and you would have to pay." I am T-Mobile for 4+ years and was largely satisfied with the service but not okay with fraud and lies. I was told that the manager will follow up and dig up the old call and see if that was true. Bottom line never trust any freebie thing from T-Mobile and pay attention to your monthly bill even if you with them for long time.

They turned my phone off because they say I am behind. I was paying over the phone. The money came out of my bank account never post by T-Mobile and they're still charging my every month. I told no service no money so they tried to go into my bank account for 208 but my bank at my request blocked them. So they will not turn my phone. They're thieves.

T-Mobile trade-off is a scam. DO NOT do it. I sent in an iPhone 6 as a tradeoff for my iPhone 7+ that I recently bought. Little did I know, after calling 3 times that I would be told that my iPhone 6 had a crack on it and that it is past the due date to get it back. I called and spoke to numerous representatives asking on my iPhone 6 status and not one person had information to give to me. All they said were, "We don't see your status," "It hasn't arrived at the warehouse yet," "I'll send an email out," (but guess what, no email) etc. Then now when I call (two times) I get different answers. I was shockingly told that my iPhone 6 cannot be returned to me because there was a crack and because I missed the deadline. A notification through email and SMS were sent to me.
First, **. How many times did I call to ONLY be notified about this now? They tell me they received my iPhone 6 back in November and I already called three times? Are you kidding? And none of their representatives knew about this and all were clueless. They led me to think that my iPhone 6 was still on its way there and that I would be credited once they received my iPhone. I checked my email and I am very quick with my email and there were no emails sent out on dates they told me emails were sent out. I get monthly email notifications from you guys, but the 2 emails that were suppose to tell me about my cracked iPhone were missing. How ironic. How unfortunate. What a coincidence.
It's frustrating as a loyal customer that I was never notified about this when I called and was told that I needed to wait and get my account adjusted. CLEARLY none of the representatives took their time and researched on the whereabouts of my iPhone. I was told there was a labeling wrong and that's why all the representatives couldn't see the status of my iPhone. And this is the best... there were no email notifications at all, no emails from the dates that T-Mobile said they sent me an email notification. No SMS notification about the crack. Nothing.
How funny is it that I receive emails from T-Mobile all the time, but not on the iPhone trade off? I didn't even receive 1 out of 2. I know myself and I definitely know I check all my emails promptly. I mean, if you guys got a SMS telling you about your iPhone 6 (which you have been waiting to hear back), wouldn't you think you would remember? Wouldn't at least 1 out of the 3 notifications would have gotten to you?
They couldn't even accommodate and give me more credit back. It's an iPhone 6 that you guys took away from your own customers. I wouldn't be as mad if I didn't try to reach out to them. It's already April 2017 and the trade off was back in Oct/Sept 2016. It's ridiculous that it took this long for me to just receive the bad news.
So in ending, T-Mobile is scamming all of us. DO NOT TRADE IN YOUR IPHONE. DO NOT DO IT. They will take your iPhone, lie and said it was already damaged and not return your phone. THEN you will basically lose your iPhone AND have to pay for the full EIP. What a beautiful scam. And when you call and ask for proof, they basically tell you they can't because of "privacy".
It is clearly better to take your business elsewhere. I never write reviews, but I am so shocked because I feel so betrayed by T-Mobile. If you ask anyone, I recommend T-Mobile to all my friends and family members and to have this happen is so disappointing. You guys can google online about how many cases are similar to mine. Don't go to T-Mobile. They are scamming their own customers.

We transferred from Verizon to T-Mobile based "lower price and better coverage." Both lies. If you are under their tower or somewhere that is loaded with Wi-Fi maybe. Problems started as soon as we tried to transfer my tablet. Took 3 call tech support. We switch will visiting family in Ft Worth, get back to rural middle GA (Thomaston). Did not have a signal in Walmart or Home Depot. Half the time my wife could not be heard on her phone. We have land 60 miles from home. I lost service 10 miles from our land. First day I was out there had to drive back almost to Griffin (40 miles) before I got service. Went to a store to see what they could do. Got the "deer in the headlights" stare and call 611. That was a joke. 8 calls later still no straight answer.
COVERAGE MAP showed should have coverage. Every time I had to call customer service had to talk to 3 different people mail and multiple phone calls. Their switch program sounds good till you have to call on status. After 45 days went back knowledge to Verizon. Now we still have to pay for 2 tablets, 1 smartphone and 2 basic phones. I call them to set up payment arrangements. Thought everything was good then start getting demand letters "pay in full or it goes to collections." Call to make a payment as agreed, discuss and ask about the demand letters. "Oh it will still go to collections even with a payment agreement because we have to secure the account." They are the UN carrier, UN customer service.

I went into the T-Mobile store on Sparkman Drive in Huntsville AL. I wanted to buy a new ZTE phone and give the old phone to daughter to have her service put in. The salesman took it upon himself to change my service. He opened another line for the other phone charged me for opening the new line. I get back home and give my daughter my old phone. A few hours passed and she ask did I put minutes on the phone. I told her no. My daughter informed me that she thought he open another line on my account for her. I call the salesman back. He informed me that it was a better deal for me, to have changed to this plan. My phone bill for my line would only be 50 a month and my daughter's new line would be 50, whereas I was paying 75 a month for just my service. Now I am stuck with paying my 28 year of daughter's phone bill.
I noticed my phone only worked at home or work. It started to be a problem. I went back in the store last week, talked to another gentlemen about the error I was receiving. He informed me that I was never given internet service on my the ZTE. I only was given internet on the new line. I had wifi so that's why it worked at work and at home, but not in my smart car. The gentlemen informed me that he fixed the problem with the internet. He added internet to the ZTE. This happened last Wed. My grandmother died and I went to my family's house and because it was in a remote area I couldn't use my service (internet) so I called the 611 number and spoke to a lady while leaving the grave site. She did some kind of troubleshoot, THAT WAS FRIDAY.
Last night I used my phone for a couple hours put it on charge and went to sleep. I awoke this morning and the ZTE will not even come on period. So I made it to work and call the 611 again and informed the customer service rep that the phone would not power up at all. The customer rep asked a few questions and decided to send me another phone overnight and he said it should arrive at the store by the end of day tomorrow. I am WITHOUT A PHONE UNTIL THEN. TERRIBLE SERVICE I FEEL I HAVE RECEIVED FROM T-MOBILE.

You're supposed to receive your deposit in credit form to your account if you didn't miss a payment. I paid a $250.00 deposit for a hotspot then 6 months later added a new cellphone paying another $50.00 deposit. Both was setup as on auto pay with my bank. When I completed my 1st yr. I didn't get my deposit of the $250.00. Matter of fact I was double billed. Sorry to say they received $300.00 in deposits and they got the creditors coming after me for $260.00. They just don't like keeping their end of the contract.

They expect you to pay bill 3 week prior to billing even though you already prepared a month... because apparently it does not matter when you sign up you always pay the same time worldwide!!! BS...

I was a T-Mobile customer and left for another company. I asked them to unlock my phone and they told me no. I would have to be a customer first, then they would. So I left the store. I didn't even buy the phone from them when I signed up. I merely put their sim card into an unlocked phone I bought online. I then wrote a letter to their customer relations department, again asking them to please, unlock my phone. Several weeks have passed with no response. It seems they have kidnapped my phone and am holding it for ransom.

Store manager and associates can talk the talk to sucker you in on anything. Sold me 4 sim cards and when I ordered the phone it came with a sim so now I spent extra money and didn't need to and have extra sim cards I don't need. Manager said, "Keep them just in case one goes bad." Also said service was great. WRONG. Service sucks in my area even with a booster. Terrible reception, dropped calls and can't make calls. Called customer service and they are no help either, had to call numerous times about same issue and talk to numerous departments. Don't know what they are doing. With all these bad reviews I don't know why there isn't a class action lawsuit against these jokers. Instead of building these new buildings and giving free stuff away on Tuesdays... they should really work on cell coverage and service.

Back in November, 2016 for Black Friday, T-Mobile offered two "Free" lines, as described on their websites. Every since that time, they have been charging for the two free lines, $40 for each line. I need to call every month for them to remove the charges. They sent me an SMS stating that they had a problem and it was going to be fixed. Today, 3/31/2017, I am still being charged $80 for the two lines. How much does it takes for them to fix this? There are three family members that have the same problem.

I pride myself on researching a company before I get involved and sadly I failed to do it with T-Mobile's Freedom from carrier program. It's a scam.

T-Mobile billed us for insurance after we opted out. This was a business account so for the past two years they have billed us $12 x 3 (phones) = $36 a month totaling $864 for insurance we specifically declined. The monthly bill went directly to the accounting department so the error went unnoticed until now. Their only solution was to reimburse us for 4 months. If you sign an opt-out that should be binding and we are looking into this further.

I have been with T-Mobile for the past 6 years. Every time I visit a T-Mobile store/call customer care for a rate plan change, I will be taken by a surprise one way or the other. Their representatives at the stores are not fully equipped with the information. They have half knowledge on what they are doing and just want to sell some stuff just for that 15-30 minutes and they wipe off their hands. Once the customer goes back home and realizes that something went wrong, call the store about the complaint/issue, they don't even bother to give the info over phone. You need to go back to the store to get it rectified/resolved.
Coming to this T-Mobile One (Taxes Included) Plan - they say that we save money by moving this plan - But that is all TRASH. They cut down all the offers that are already there previously (on T-Mobile One Taxes Excluded) and finally you see that next month's bill - You will faint. So please be aware of this fact, compare your previous 3-4 bills (that were on the previous plan) before moving to T-Mobile One (TI) plan. You yourself will know the difference and pain.
When it comes to the customer service - either on the phone (when you dial 611) or when you visit a store - it's a BIG PAIN. They promise you something and in reality it's totally contrasting. Also when you make any account changes, 1st thing that you are going to lose is the Data on the phone. These guys are so careless to even see that they activate the data plan on your new service that you have opted for. Every time (almost 6-8 times) I have made account changes, I have lost my data while in the middle of the road. Had to call 611 and they simply say "We apologize for the inconvenience" and simply move on... I have to make 6-8 calls (each 30-45 minutes) to explain the changes that had happened.
I went to a T-Mobile store on Feb 11 2017. I have received a Text msg regarding a free Samsung tablet. I spoke to STEPHEN ** (CSR) and he wanted me to move on to T-Mobile One (Taxes Included) Plan. Towards the end of the conversation, he said I would receive the March Bill for $177.78 (which is $2 less than the Feb 2017 bill). In reality when I have seen the March Bill - it came up to $246.74. When I tried to call the store and speak to the store manager, she wants me to come into the store for resolving the issue and cannot do it over the phone.

T-Mobile, time after time, has attempted to con me out of my money. They charge unauthorized and excessive fees every month.

Crook customer service. I have a family plan with three lines. I wanted to add another line in my account. After talking to customer service associate 4th phone was added and I was told everything was all set. To my utter surprise, the fourth line was opened with a new account. To fix this problem I had to call T-Mobile every month after receiving the bill, and every time associate assured me that the 4th line has been merged with my family plan, but not really truly done. And T-mobile created annoyance including my financial loss. I had even worse experience before and I had to complain to Attorney General of Massachusetts to resolve that issue.

I just wanted to say that I have worked retail for quite some time. I've worked at two other major cell carriers as a sales person/manager, and also at a very large internet service provider. One of the biggest reason I chose T-Mobile was because of their customer-centric focus and CEO's attitude against the practice of treating customers like dollar signs. I'm very upset with the way that I was treated and that no one will take ownership of the problem that was not caused by me. I was placed on hold 3 different times while the representative looked into the issue, only to be cold transferred to another unsuspecting agent. I spoke with a supervisor who also did the exact same thing to me after he was frustrated that I wanted a decent resolution to my problem. I have never experienced anything like this before; frankly I'm shocked at the lack of ownership or care from the people I spoke with.
On Sunday, March 19th 2017 after 14 months of not taking advantage of my JUMP! On Demand feature, I finally decided to upgrade my new phone. I was pretty excited about the LG V20 and was looking forward to getting the phone as soon as possible because of a trip I have planned later this week. I considered venturing into the nearest store but because I'm handicapped and without a vehicle, traveling to a store entails a special bus that has to come taxi me around and the time slots available usually leave me waiting for quite some time.
I called in to the sales department around 6:00 pm pacific time and was able to complete my order for the V20 in about an hour. If you were to pull the call and listen to it, I explicitly asked for overnight shipping multiple times. She said that shipping would cost 24.99, which I agreed with and asked her to proceed. When it got time to pay the charge came to only 6.99, and she told me that overnight shipping must have been free. I pulled up the email to sign the documents and looked through them quickly, where I saw the charge for 6.99 shipping. I glanced around and couldn't find any information on the shipping other than the cost; there were no details about the logistics of the package.
About 20 minutes after the call was over, I called back to make sure that insurance had been added to the phone, and I also wanted to double check that things had been done properly. They hadn't. UPS ground had been chosen for my order on accident so I asked for it to be fixed. They told me it couldn't be fixed and that there was nothing they could do. The only way I'd be able to get a phone sooner than that would be to go into a store, where they would be able to remedy the situation. I spoke with a supervisor who said the same thing, and eventually got frustrated with me, put me on hold, and cold transferred me somewhere else.
The next gentleman was trying to be helpful, but he also said that there was nothing he could do. He did tell me that if I went into the store that they'd be able to fix things. He was nice enough to credit me 10 dollars after spending 2 hours on the phone but that did little to resolve my issue. The next day I called the store near me to see if they had the phone in stock and if they could, in fact, fix my issue. They said that they would be able to fix things so I reluctantly called up the local Tri-Met handicapped bus service and scheduled a pickup. I also had to setup a return trip, the soonest was 1 hours after the drop off.
When I got to the store and started to explain the issue, I was cut off before I could even finish my story. The manager told me that she already knew that there was nothing she could do to get me a phone today. I asked if she'd please try, that they'd told me if I came into a store I'd be able to get my phone today and simply refuse delivery of the one that would show up 7 or 8 days from now. Customer service had told me that if there was an issue, the store would be able to call them and resolve things. She did eventually call care, and they agreed with her in that there was nothing they would be able to do for me.
I decided to call back into care because I know that there are exceptions for everything and that if someone with authority really wanted to, they'd be able to fix this. The first person I spoke with agreed that there should be a way to fix this and to give him just a second to try and figure things out. He then cold transferred me again while I was on hold. The final two people were kind, and both seemed like they genuinely wanted to help. The last woman I spoke with seemed to try and find a resolution, but it seemed like her supervisors weren't really giving her any options.
Later that night while speaking with T-Mobile through their Facebook page, I received a call from their executive response team. The gentleman was kind and helpful, promising to personally have a device sent to me with overnight shipping, and that it would be taken care of early in the morning on March 21st. I was told that because of the special circumstances, I was to be credited 20 dollars and that I would need to grab a UPS label to send back my Note 5. I was to receive an email with the order information and tracking number sometime in the morning. As of 7:15 PM PST I have not received an email. I asked T-Mobile's through Facebook and Twitter if they'd be able to help me out, and there were no orders or notes created regarding the conversation I had with the gentleman on the phone.
With all of the issues going on, I should have written down the extension he was calling from and his name. After our conversation I felt content about the resolution and really believed everything would be resolved. While talking with T-Mobile about the phantom tracking number, I was browsing the website, looking to pick up some Beats and protection for my phone. I noticed that the LG V20 went on sale and was about 300 dollars off. I have obviously not received my phone at this point and wanted to take advantage of the sale.
I found out that I would need to essentially refuse the shipment, wait until it was received back at the warehouse, and then Reorder (if it was still on sale) so that I could be charged the sale amount. This is absolutely ridiculous and I am EXTREMELY frustrated. I know that my account isn't a big name account with a large MRC, but I'm still a customer - one that was an advocate for T-Mobile up until this point. I'm at a loss for what to do now, none of this makes any sense.

I switched over to T-Mobile One for a few months because I had a trip to Europe and they have unlimited (3G) data in Europe with T-Mobile One. First, the service was better than expected in Europe. I really can't complain about this part. Next, once I got home (USA), the service was terrible. I would constantly have to reset my phone settings over and over to try to find any signal at all. It was an unlimited 4G plan, but I never used more than a 1 GB data in either month because it was impossible to get service.
I am going to back to Europe in the summer, and was planning to keep T-Mobile through that trip, but it was literally like walking around with an iPhone Touch because of how poor their service was. I decided to switch back to a different carrier exactly 2 months after starting coverage with T-Mobile. They were supposed to be the "uncarrier". No fees for cancellation. I placed my order on 12/9/2016, received my SIM in the mail and activated service on 12/16/16. I canceled the service on 2/8/17 and they sent me a bill for the entire next month, charging me for 3 months of service, when they even discontinued online access to my account immediately at the 2 month mark. They sent me harassing letters where they threatened to contact collections agencies to get the extra month of payment.
I called them and explained that I had only been a customer and utilized services for those 2 months. They said they understood, but that because I hadn't ported my number over on 2/7/17 (1 day earlier), that a new billing cycle had been activated and must be paid for a full month. They charged me $81 for a month, where they didn't even allow me access to services. When I called, they told me that logic and rational meant nothing because their policy is to rip people off whenever possible (my words, their policy). After complaining, they told me that they could meet me halfway. They would offer a credit of $40 off of a bill of $81, that I never received services for.
I tried to explain that halfway, isn't charging for 1 month of service (or half a month of service) when you have access to an account for less than 24 hours in a billing cycle. This is a terrible company. I expressed my dismay at their poor business practices, and that my plan (originally) was to switch back to them in June for 2 months over the summer (while back in Europe). Instead, now I'll just get a European sim card when I arrive and do pay as you go over there instead. Beware of this company. It's horrible.

I would have given 5 star service if my process from switching from AT&T to T-Mobile would have been smooth. I went into the retail store yesterday (everyone in the retail store was great including the rep that helped me). He had to call into credit/activations to resume an account that I previously had. I ported three numbers over (which were all voice lines) and I had a tablet which needed a new number, the activations rep ported all numbers but put my wife's number and assigned it to a data line, then cancelled the number and replaced my tablet with a new number. By doing so she cancelled the port that was completed successfully, and sent my wife's number into Limbo.
Several calls with the Number transfer center each one of them tells me they will escalate it and I should have my number back within 4-6 hours. It's been over 8 hours and still don't have it. First rep told me that he's escalating it, but never did apparently. 2nd rep I spoke with at 10pm last night assured me that by 4am the number would be on my wife's device. 6 AM this morning still nothing. Called back and spoke with a rep Luis who said there must have been a technical issue and resubmitted another ticket but promised me my number would be back in 4-6 hours. Definitely not holding my breath on this one as apparently all T-Mobile knows how to do is lie to customers! And make matters worse they didn't even offer me any compensation for their mistake! Shame on them!

I can name countless occasions with T-Mobile. First of all, if you are with another carrier PLEASE, I REPEAT, PLEASE DO NOT SWITCH TO T-MOBILE. The connection was/is so bad. They said with two lines my bill would be $135 but my first month's bill was $263??? I have a iPhone and J7. Purchased the J7 straight up full price ($239) put $414 ($730 retail) on iPhone. How we owe $956 8 months later?? Mind you they cut the phones off a month ago at $710. But it leaped to the new amount. They don't care. I will be contacting Fox News and the BBB. They are a rip off. STAY AWAY!!!

5 days ago I went in and asked to pay off everything, I was changing companies due to poor coverage. Paid what they stated 295.00. Couldn't close the account due to have a signal booster that needed returned. Today I attempted to return the booster. Surprise, I'm told I owe 200 more dollars because the phone was "on another screen in their computer". They rang everything up, I paid the money they requested. Asked for the phone to be unlocked. 25 minutes in the store on the phone with customer service, then they tell me they can't, so it's "been lifted to a higher level". I said "close my account, forget the phone unlock". I want everything with T-Mobile terminated. Surprise, another payment of 240.00 dollars will need to be paid for your "business account" bill.
Apparently they can't get everything to be paid at once, or accept my signal booster because it needs to be mailed. Pass the shipping bill onto customers?? What, that doesn't make sense. I am so frustrated with T-Mobile, their surprise bills, company protocols that aren't helpful to customers and the poor coverage. At this point I will discourage any of my friends, family or anyone I come across from doing business with these (surprise Germany based company) ever again.

Went into store to get a SIM card. Sales girl talked me into utilizing the IPad promo (two free IPADS for the price of $1.11 tax per month with unlimited data), that was in December. I've had to call every single month! First to get the charge removed for cost of IPADs, then to get data charge removed. All of a sudden my card information is not correct in their system and I get a text message about fees and penalties. They've been withdrawing just fine for the past 13 YEARS, but now my info reverted back to an old card?!? Give me a break. I've been with T-Mobile longer than the CEO/COO!

My Phone does not swim so I was faced with replacing my Samsung S5 that I owned. I currently have 2 S5's and a tablet with another carrier. The promotion at Costco was Switch 2 phones and 1 tablet, "Unlimited data with direct pay" and the bill would be $100.00 including taxes. I would be responsible for the monthly of $15.00 for 24 months for my new Samsung S7!
The kiosk men gave me the sim cards necessary to adapt (I own them) my other S5 and tablet. I changed the SIM cards and voila we were in business. NOT SO! After 4-5 trips back to the Kiosk and many phone calls to T-Mobile I am using my Buyers Remorse Clause! First call was to attempt to get the new SIM card phones compliant with TMobiles systems. The technicians asked "whose phones are these"? "Mine." "No who is the provider". "Verizon"... "Oh these phones are not compatible with our system". "What!" I went back the next day to the Kiosk and they assured me that with some minor changes the phone would be a go. Yes it was. No it wasn't. We could not sent texts with pictures or receive texts with photos. The problems continued to mount.
The second call to T-Mobile a Marcia was Very and I mean Very nice welcoming me to T Mobile. She would send me a welcoming text to attach my last bill so they would take care of it! Mentioned that our old phones would get up to $250 credit towards a new phone, on and on... and to go back to the Kiosk and all would be taken care of as well as the bill...
Well on thing led to the next and I was back at the Kiosk with the old (Verizon) phone. The Kiosk finally realized that nothing they did would make the phone compatible. I said "give me another Samsung S7 and we are good to go". The price changed from $15.00 a month for 24 months to $ 24.00 a month, and the most they would give me credit for my "old phone" was $45.00!!!
At this point I was 1 day past the Buyers Remorse period and when I called TMobile they conveniently would not do anything and seemed to not have the notes on my account promising to pay my last Verizon bill. I escalated it until I was blue in the face but to no avail. The best deal would be for them to take care of the first 3 months and I would be responsible for the remaining 21 months.
"Great" I said "you Guys are good you pay the first 3 months at $15.00 and I am responsible for the next 21 months". "Uhh no sir the 21 months will be at 24.00 a month. The initial deal is off the table." So I said "TMobile is not going to honor a new client with the deal that they lured me in with. I think that is called Bait and Switch". "Well sir I am sorry you feel that way". I said "that's not the point. The point is that when I signed up the boys at the Kiosk said my old phone would be compatible but after 4+ trips back and forth to the Kiosk they threw in the towel and I get the short end of the stick". At this point I have been duped by TMobile and am in dispute of the contract. 15 days in and under dispute. Wow another indication of the Corporate mentality that is get the new customer at all costs and then when they are not looking "stick it to them"!

I recently wanted to change my plan with T-Mobile only to be told that since I have a "Jump!" lease, I owe either the remainder months' lease payments and then return the phone, or pay the remainder months' lease payments and an additional 166.99 to purchase before I can change my phone plan with T-Mobile or even if I want to cancel my phone service with them. I don't want the phone and am returning it, but they say I owe over $307 for future lease payments.
The T-Mobile store I got the phone and plan from told me that I could cancel the lease anytime, no obligation to purchase, and when I went in to talk to a manager about the issue, I was told they don't have managers at the T-Mobile stores. T-Mobile store at 10831 E. Foothill Blvd, Suite 102, Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91730, (909) 948-7162. They disabled my online account, so I can't even send them a 30 day notice of cancellation as they request in the phone contract.
FYI -- There is a class action suit against T-Mobile for the lease fees they still want when you return the phone to either change plans or to cancel phone service with T-Mobile. The T-Mobile Hidden Fees Class Action Lawsuit is Moshe Farhi, et al. vs. T-Mobile USA Inc., Case No. 9:16-cv-80580, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida.

Unfortunately, I called Tmobile rep. to report to them that they are still charging, the lady told me that I need to continue paying so I can own the phone. Have already pay for the phone, but she told me that I should continue with the payment to own the phone. Tmobile is a disaster, is not good at all. I wish I never switched to Tmobile. I will not advise any of my friends, household, relatives or my enemies to use Tmobile. I'm really angry now cause I see no reason why I should pay extra money on the phone.

I spoke with two rep. yesterday been 5/8/17 to pay off my phone. I was told I can't pay off. That I should wait another month. I disagree with her. After all the arguments on the phone she later told me my balance was $222.23. I gave her necessary information to process it but unfortunately she didn't do anything. Wasted 30 minutes of my time.
Second, I called again around 2am to ask for my confirmation number, the rep. ask me why do I want to unlock my phone and I was like WTH with the questions. I have the right to use any carrier. He told me to pay again. This time it was $245. I ask what happened. He said tax is $50.00. I said he should tell me what type of tax and he said he can't. That is the system that gave me $50.00 tax. I'm super angry with Tmobile right now. I think Tmobile needs to check reps that work afternoon shift. They are very very poor. I need senior accounting officer from Tmobile to solve the issue I'm having right now. I can't deal with all this unprofessional rep. any longer.

Original Review: March 7, 2017
Recently we were looking at some family plans. I started with my carrier T-Mobile whom I have had service with for well over 5 years. I was not on a contract.When we started looking into these plans T-Mobile would NOT let me keep my phone number which I have had for well over a decade, they would allow me to switch and go to the family plans as long as I would relinquish my number. Now all the carriers are coming out with these family plans for around $30 a month per line for unlimited services and I have been paying well over $100 a month for years.
I went to a competitor and they had no problem with me keeping my phone number. Of course if you have any "equipment contracts" they must be paid off before you port your phone over to another carrier which I promptly did. T-Mobile starting sending me texts about the family plan to my phone after I went into the store and they would NOT allow me to keep my number (I don't think it was coincidence). When I called T-Mobile of course THEN I'm a Platinum customer and they want me to speak AGAIN to an account representative and I politely told them there was no need as I have already done that, and they were unable to provide the customer service I required which was to keep my number. REMEMBER I was NOT under contract.
This morning I called T-Mobile to make sure that all service was cancelled and to make sure that all was paid. Well guess what one day of service is NOT prorated contract or not and they are charging me for a full month service as my phone was ported one day after (or so they said)... "So you're not going to even prorate for 1 day of service to a Platinum customer who you refused to let me keep my number and you had first shot to keep my account and who is currently not under contract"? The answer was "NO we are billing you for another cycle" which cost me well over $100.
I'm disgusted by how T-Mobile will offer NEW clients the "WORLD" but not offer existing clients the same offers they extend to new clients. So I hope this review cost T-Mobile 10 fold of the money of what I feel they stole from me. So let's get to the phones. Samsung Galaxy 4 worked just phone but kept saying error of memory full. Well phone said 92% available. Of course the T-Mobile sales guy said "outdated" "you need a new phone" which I reluctantly did (a flip phone would be fine for me) and was sold a LG4 which took me several days to get operational.
Now a while ago I had an Otter case which I dropped and broke. I went into the T-Mobile store which I got the LG4 from like 8 months prior. Of course the answer was "we don't carry that phone or accessories any more. I suggest you get a new phone as the one you have is outdated"... My response was this is a new phone. Frustrated I stopped at a repair shop in the mall... the fellow behind the counter says "call Otter" which Otter promptly replaced the case at no charge (BTW Kudos to Otter). Do you think my T-Mobile guy would have told me, no he wanted me to buy another phone. I ended my call today with T-Mobile after some 15 minutes with a 4 letter word followed by T-Mobile. No customer service, no wanting to keep existing clients.

Very poor customer service and communications. I switched phone companies after not being able to resolve problems I was having with T-Mobile. From February 15th through March 5th 2017 their customer service was very unreliable and misleading on multiple occasions. I was told a multitude of answers for the resolution of the problem of paying off my phone lease and purchase of my phone. I never received the same answer twice by any two representatives I communicated with during this entire time at store level or during phone support. I was lied to by multiple representatives that calls would be returned and emails sent for verification's that were never sent as promised.
I was recharged for service that had already been paid. I was told the phone I was leasing had been paid off and that the phone would be unlocked by T-Mobile for use with any other company that sold service with the same smartphone. It wasn't until I threatened to contact my attorney that they finally validated the resolution by email to resolve the issue and it still hasn't been resolved. I will never use T-Mobile again and I have been with them for many years. They are very undependable and misleading. I would never recommend using T-Mobile unless you get every single communication from them in writing.

So we canceled our service with T-Mobile last fall. We called them and paid everything ahead of time and told them of our plans. The representative was cordial and made a half attempt at trying to get us to stay even after I made it abundantly clear we would be starting a new service with another carrier. We didn't have a contract with T-Mobile or one with our new carrier. About two weeks after switching we received a paper bill (which we never received when we had service with them). It was for two times our monthly and some change. We had already called them prior to switching and the new carrier canceled with T-Mobile (which was immediately evident since my T-Mobile login ceased working and I received notice that my T-Mobile service was terminated from T-Mobile).
Now T-Mobile is sending a letter that claims to be a collection agency with the promise at the end of the letter to turn our service back on if we just pay it. This is even more shady than I expected. I'll take the ding to my credit and will more than happy tell the collection agency I won't pay a bill that was fabricated after I switched. I paid for all the services and paid full price for a phone that they had promised would be $200 less when we started with them. Any potential customers be forewarned. What my carrier prior to T-Mobile said was true. We didn't stay with T-Mobile and it was after prolonged horrible service!
Updated on 05/05/2017: This is the third or fourth complaint I have submitted for T-Mobile. After being lied to about the cost of their phones and being charged $200 extra for the only phone we bought from them and unreliable service for nearly a year in the middle of the third largest city in the US. I called to cancel my service, at which time as asked for the entire balance and paid it. We informed them that we were not going to have anything to do with them after that day and was assured we had paid everything in full. We started services with a new carrier that very same day. Upon doing that we weren't allowed to access their website for our account info.
Two months later they sent us a bill for more than we had ever had and I told them I would not pay it. They sent it to collections and I told them I would not pay it. Today I had 'Mr **' from the mumbled law offices who asked me how I was going to pay. When I told him I wouldn't he threatened to 'take action'. Last I checked, it is against the law for you to threaten someone with what I can only imagine might be bodily harm, what else do thugs do? When I called back the law office for nearly an hour it gave me the recording that the next available agent would be with me shortly. This is extortion and T Mobile is actively extorting people. The number who called is (832) 460-7355. Beware, they will do whatever they can to get as much money from you despite having substandard services and dishonest employees (which leads me to believe it is precisely how they have it designed). All other cellular services benefit from this...

From the coverage to the "unlimited" data to the truthfulness of customer service and the bill... Not one thing was the truth. I live in a tough area to get good cell service and I was promised better service with more T-Mobile towers in my area (lie #1 it is a dominant AT&T area which they knew I was switching from). I was told unlimited data and if there was no T-Mobile tower, it would use whatever tower available to roam so I would never lose coverage. (lie 2... If roaming for data, you only receive a certain amount of data. In a day and a half my data was shut off unless on wifi).
I was told if I purchase just the sd cards for the 6 lines I want to bring over, I can do one at a time no problem whenever I wanted to switch over. No timeline. I got a 200.00 bill before the first month was up I had not even activated one line yet. This was "credited off" but a month later is still showed I owe in a fraudulent state. I was told by numerous different representatives that I would get 120.00 back to my acct for the sd cards since it was not my fault... Today, the 7th rep, 2nd manager I talked to was rude and also informed me there were no notes stating I was promised a refund and that I was not going to get one.

On 2/26/17 at approximately 5 pm my daughter and I walked into T-Mobile store 9125 in West Sacramento, California. Upon entrance, three store employees glanced up at us, did not acknowledge us and continued with their customers. No one took our name or even said anything like "someone will be right with you". We sat down and began to wait. Approximately 10 minutes later, a gentleman walked through the door and immediately the female and one male worker greeted him with a "welcome to T-Mobile." I immediately told my daughter "let's go" and we went to the T-Mobile in Natomas.
The experience at the Natomas store was completely the opposite. We were greeted and my name was taking in order to serve customers in the order that they arrived. Jason ended up helping us with all of our needs and he was friendly, informative and very accommodating. Whenever I need to go into a T-Mobile store, I normally go into the Natomas store since we live nearby, but because I was out and wanted to go to the super Walmart and T-Mobile I went to West Sacramento ince they are both in the same shopping center. I will never patronize the West Sacramento store again and I strongly suggest no one else does either.

T-Mobile Customer Service and Store # 1672. First of all I was enticed to the store by an advertisement that turned out to be very misleading. Then, silly me, I continued with a purchase anyway. The Galaxy S7 was advertised as $360 in both in store advertisement and on their website. So I selected the Two line plan for $100/month and then the Galaxy S7 and the Galaxy J7 at $249. I asked for written confirmation of the phone prices and service plan, the salesperson said "You'll get all that after it's rung up." So again, silly me trusted them and continued.
At the check out counter I paid $175 cash and $245 by debit card. They took the cash jammed it into the drawer and then crashed the computer. So the manager said move to this other register. Again tried to ring up the sale. After about 90 minutes I finally get the debit screen to enter my card information, all that was shown to me there was two more additional charges of $20 each "for set up" and the $245 being charged to my card.
Then he and the manager said we can't print out any details of the sale, "computer problems", I pressed the issue and finally saw some paperwork which showed the price of the Galaxy S7 I was charged was $576 instead of the advertised $360. I also noted that the down payment I made of $420 ($175 cash and $245 debit) showed up as ONLY $320. I checked my bank statement online and confirmed the $245 withdrawn so that means that somehow the salesperson pocketed about $100 from the cash.
I asked for an itemized receipt of the charges, they said "Can't print that, computer problems." I said I wasn't paying that much for a phone and told them to cancel the whole sale. The salesperson said "I'll have to charge you a restocking fee of $50 per phone." I said "I haven't even left the register, I'm not paying that either." Knowing there were problems the manager left the store prior to the sale being rung up. I asked them "call the manager." He said "No, can't do that. You'll have to come back Wednesday as she is off tomorrow". Then he said "call the customer service number".
Chapter two of a series of unfortunate events: I called the T-Mobile customer service number, the recording stated "hold time between 33 - 57 minutes press 1 and we'll call you back". Again, silly me still believing did that. I got a callback, voice automated saying "If you are ___ ____ press 1" so I did, then it said again "I __ __ is on the phone press 2" so I did, then the voice automated machine said it again, then said "You have exceeded the number of tries allowed "GOODBYE." I called customer service back again, wait time now 1 hour 12 minutes, didn't fall for the call back trick this time and waited on the phone. Finally got someone, I explained all the problems, she said the phone went up in price, I told her "you have to sell the phone at the advertised price" and that I even took a picture of the price by the phone in the store. Eventually she said I'll send you to customer loyalty to see what they can do.
Chapter Three: I get customer loyalty person on the phone explained everything all over again and when I was done, she disconnected me. Mind you I was a complete gentleman and polite the whole time. So I called customer service back again, this time waiting 1 hour 40 minutes. I think their computer finds your number when you call back and progressively adds wait time to your call to wear you down and discourage you from continuing, but since I'm a Former Marine, that didn't work. So I waited. Meanwhile I thought, thinking positively that all would turn out well, I should charge the new phones. The S7 started charging, the Galaxy J7 would not charge, as if I hadn't had a bad enough experience yet, this was added to the long list of PROBLEMS with T-MOBILE.
I finally got someone, went through all the stuff again with them. I should have recorded my long list of problems and just played it back to them like their automated machines did to me. I don't even remember the number of times I had to start over and repeat the whole long list of issues. Anyway, this lady said she was going to escalate it to higher management and she would call me back the next day. Since I didn't get off the phone with her until about 1:45 am if she meant later that same day or the next day. Either way I am worried now that the tactics being employed are just being used to expire my three day right of return and then end up with getting stuck with $100 cash stolen, about $200 overcharge and a dead phone that won't charge. If they get away with it they will have ripped me off for $539.
I'm still fighting them. It's pretty bad that a company thinks it has to behave this way to make a profit and stay in business. I can only recommend 1) Never pay cash for anything - use debit or credit card, 2) Get everything in writing prior to letting anything get rung up and 3) STAY as far away from T-Mobile as you can especially Store # 1672 in Greensboro, NC.

I've had numerous problems with the company, including an incorrect bill that I had to call to get corrected monthly for near a year. They gave me some reimbursements, but not every agent was helpful, and ultimately it has been very stressful to have to keep monitoring, and repeating the same story over and over, and getting different feedback, different apologies, different results month to month.
More recently, I discovered more incorrect information I was given when I signed up. At the time, I had asked the employee what the repercussions were to stopping my agreement, and he said "nothing-- just give the phones back and you're done." When I recently asked a customer service agent, however, if I could stop my plan, she said that I would have to pay off the phones (not just give them back for not completing payment on them) and that in addition to paying off the "lease" I would need to pay an addition $200 or so per phone--so over $800.00.
So now I find out I'm leasing, not buying the phone, and there's no way I can afford to get out of the plan. Forget that the service doesn't work half the time, that two of the phones are duds with constant problems (and we handed in phones we loved), and the constant billing problems. This idea they sell that you're not tied in to a plan is a lie. Of course, I should have stopped to read the whole several page contract first, but you try doing that in a store with two tired kids shortly after a divorce. I just needed to know that I could in touch with my kids who were going to have to be alone a lot-- but the payments are killing me, and there's no way out. In many ways, T-Mobile is worse than the other big companies, because they advertise how much better they are in terms of not roping you in or slapping you with fees, and it just isn't true.

Old customer. I see a lot of people on here trapped by T-mobile because they have great rates. But you know dang well their service is horrible. Dropped calls all day long. And every accused why your phone keeps dropping. 99% of the time, they try to blame it on your cell phone or they are working on a tower. T-mobile was suppose to link with At&t awhile back, but they it got blocked by the govt. but At&t still had to pay T-mobile all this money. I'm pretty sure it was billions.
So, instead of taking that money and making the towers better. They sunk that money into other useless things like advertising like crazy and store fronts and other dumb crap. You would think that they would put that towards better technology to keep customers happy. But T-mobile has gotten too big to give a crap about customers now. I truly hated having to go to Verizon because I was scared to lose the totally unlimited from t-mobile. But I could take the dropped calls any longer. So my bill only went up $40 more dollars at Verizon. Of course my data was limited but I managed. I'm now glad I got away from T-mobile, I haven't had one dropped call and I get signal in places I never did. And now, Verizon is unlimited as well. And I thought, OH CRAP!! It's going to be like T-mobile now with too many people. But it's not (so far). My data is even faster.
I was a diehard T-mobile since the day they opened. NO JOKE!! And I'm telling you, they will never change. They use to kiss the customer’s behinds on the phone, but now, they have foreign call centers that don't care and sometimes hangs up on you. The service from them has gone in the toilet. They are just advertising more and more, but doing nothing to better the quality of service. Trust me when I say this, JUMP OFF THE T-MOBILE BAND WAGON. Go to Verizon. BTW, T-mobile will go out of their way to make sure there is some kind of charge once you leave them. I had a mysterious charge that they sent right to collections without even contacting me. This is the scandalous crap they are doing now.

I and my spouse were visited a local T-Mobile store over labor day weekend. I would like to mention that we have been associated with T-mobile since august, 2008. We inquired about different plans as we were looking for an unlimited talk, text and data. After debating for a while, we came to a conclusion and chose a plan. We were being told that the monthly estimation with the significant plan should be around 200 dollars and there would be a discount applied of 20 dollars if we decide to sign up for easy pay.
We were quite impressed so we decided to switch over to the unlimited talk, text and data plan. Everything was working fine with the plan until our credit card was charged $329.29 on 23rd October, 2016. We were kind of surprised with the amount because we were clearly told that the monthly bill should be $180 ($20 dollars discounted from $200) including taxes. We called T-Mobile customer service right away; we talked with the representative and explained what happened with the monthly bill. She, the representative could not figure out the actual query in the bill. Therefore, she transferred our call to the loyalty department.
We explained an entire issue from A-Z over again to Miss **, a representative at loyalty department. She looked into the bill and explained that we were charged $50 just for switching to the other plan and rest of the charges were based on our new plan (the monthly bill we expected was around $180). The discount was not being applied as well because it has not been a month since we signed up for an easy pay. We signed up for an easy pay on 4th September, 2016 and the bill cycle ends on 5th of each month. Technically it was a month from 5th September 5th – October. We felt that she was not ready to listen to what we were saying from our side.
After a few minutes of arguments from both the sides, she decided to give us credit back of $90 (total taxes) + $25 so total of $115 (apparently the discount for signing up an easy pay was $25). We were told that she made these changes on the account and total of $115 would be deducted from the next bill cycle. She stated that she documented everything on file for the record. We were still in state of confusion with the reasons she gave us so we decided to stop by to the T-Mobile store where we had been to.
The representative at the store clarified that there should be absolutely no charges for switching the plan. Though he could not answer the rest of the questions on why the bill was $329.29, where it would have been $180. We decided not to dig into it so much and wait for the next bill to come. The next bill of October was delivered and it was $200. We were expecting our bill to be very less because we were supposed to be credited for $115.
We called customer service again, after waiting about 30 minutes in the queue we finally got to speak to a representative. We again repeated an entire issue from the previous month just so that we can link both the bills. As usual our call was transferred to the loyalty department before even trying to figure out what the problem was. We actually do not remember who we talked to at loyalty department.
Yet again, we explained an entire story from A-Z because they do not find it important to document an issue related to an account (maybe). We talked to her about the bill of $329.29 and also the credit of $115 on our next bill. She stated that we were delivered the bill of two months which includes the usage of the previous plan and the current plan. It did not sound right to us because we were told something different each time by each representative on why the bill was high. We were also told that Ms. ** did not document anything about the credit on account so she was not able to take our words in consideration. We were so unhappy with the customer service they provided each time.
Some key points: Not sticking to their words. Lack of listening skills and rudeness. Not believing what customer says. Lack of courtesy. Lack of documentation skills. Repetition of what happened each time. Not at all satisfactory explanation. Things dont make sense to a customer. Long waiting time. They did not call back if the call got disconnected.
Incident 2: because of the previous experience one of my line left t-mobile and during that incident T-mobile promised to charge only for 2 days because of that numbers exit. Rather charging for 2 days from that billing cycle they charged for 30 days, means full billing cycle. It means technically you are paying for the service or number which is not even under t-mobile for that month. And if you want to know the reason you will always get different reason from different customer care person. Never, ever go with t-mobile to save couple of upfront charge to pay more at the end of the billing. At least other service charge what they promise not like T-mobile. One of the rude executive: arthur **.

T-Mobile had a special for LG V20 on Feb 22, 2017. My T-Mobile phone is pretty aged so I jumped on the offer. Price advertised was $15/mo for 24 mos or $360 cash. I ordered it and signed up for their EIP payment plan. Got an email confirming my signed payment plan but stated I needed to contact Customer Service. Called customer service an hour before I had to leave for work and they went through T-Mobile One plan, adding a line, a rebate bonus, and savings on autopay - never got to my order and I had to leave for work. They said they would call back at 9:00AM but did not.
I called and got another rep (whose English was not any better than the first) and he started processing the order. He said I had the phone at $15/mo for 24 months plus a $49.99 down payment. The promo ad stated zero advance payment. When I questioned him he said T-Mobile requires a down payment on all phones. I advised him he was flat wrong and suggested he look at their online offerings. He said he could do nothing but he would transfer me to their Sales office. He transferred me to Sales where I listened to 10 minutes of T-Mobile adverts before it disconnected me.
So here I sit. Did they supersede my signed sales agreement with their new price? Did they add the new line? I see online they did add autopay - that now scares me and I will be sure to get that cancelled. Buying a phone should not be this unpleasant. It appears T-Mobile specials are come-ons and they have no intention of honoring them. Been a T-Mobile user and advocate for many years but they are not the same. I dread calling and going through this again. I would just like to cancel the whole works.

I currently have the Samsung Galaxy phone with the $40.00/mo prepaid plan. I need another phone, in addition to the one I already have so I went on their website to buy a phone - intending to pay the phone price in full at the time of purchase. The Galaxy S7 is advertised on their website "on sale" for $360.00. I called the customer service center to verify the phone price and my service. I was then told the "sale" price is only good with post pay service which costs $70.00/mo - for the same service. If I want a prepaid plan, the phone cost is $673.99. WHAT??!!!
I asked why I would pay $30.00 additional each month for the same service. The answer, "Because this phone is $360.00 for a post pay service of $70.00/mo." I questioned why I would be charged an additional $30.00/mo for the same service. The response? "For $360.00, you would need the post-pay plan." Um, okay, tell me WHY you want to charge me an additional $30.00 per month for the same service? Still no reasonable answer. I'll be changing carriers for my existing phone and buying an additional phone and service from them.

During the 2016 holidays T-Mobile offered me two additional lines at no additional charge. I accepted the offer and paid for two new cell phones through T-Mobile. The rep sent me the paperwork online to be returned. I could not return it, I am not sure why but it would not accept. I informed T-Mobile. The T-Mobile rep said that was fine and she noted it was some type of technology issue and they would re-send the form. They re-sent the form. I completed the form and returned it. On December 8, 2016, I received and have preserved an email from T-Mobile indicating both new lines were activated under the 2 line promo. I received the phones and gave them to my two children as Christmas gifts. That is when the trouble started.
T-Mobile then began to bill me for all four lines. When I contacted them they said that this was due to the lines not being activated within a certain time frame but this is false. T-Mobile expressly indicated there would be no problem. So there was an offer, acceptance and consideration in that I paid for the two phones. I then had to contact T-Mobile numerous times, wait for calls back which I did not get and I dealt with an extremely rude rep. Each time I have spoken with them, it is as if they have no knowledge of any prior conversations.
Most recently, I have continued to pay my monthly bill, but I am not even clear what they are charging me or why. I spoke to T-Mobile again and the rep said just to continue to pay a certain amount and that the account would have to be escalated before anything could be done. I was also informed the account would be credited. Today I received a robocall from T-Mobile asking for additional payment to avoid suspension of my account. T-Mobile is not being honorable or fair.

We "Ported in" to T-Mobile about 6 weeks ago from Sprint and we're told initially our bill owed to sprint would be paid within 24 hours, then 48 hours, then within a week, then within 8 weeks. They took my dad and step mom's phones in on trade, incorrectly listed one phone as an iPhone 6 instead of 6S (and gave less money as a trade in). Now they won't pay the sprint bill of which about $1100 they had promised to pay. The switch to T-Mobile department will NEVER answer their phones, we have literally spent upwards of 16 hours on hold over the last 6 weeks between us. You will get disconnected after an hour plus on hold and you can schedule a call back on the website (2 weeks away from the current date).
No one in T-Mobile can get a hold of this department and they all promise to get a hold of them then call you back. Everyone at T-mobile from customer service to retention has given up after promising to help and gone ghost. The last communication I got was that I needed to wait 8 weeks for them to process the refund, yet when I log in it says the bill was no eligible for payment! Why would I wait 8 weeks to start to investigate something that is clearly not going to get paid? I have read other people on facebook saying they are going on 5 months waiting for repayment. It's clear T-Mobile is either not paying these early termination fees as promised or trying to get 9 out of 10 people to give up and realize they are stuck with a 2-year payment plan with a carrier that just ripped them off. To add insult to injury the service is terrible! I got way better call quality and coverage with sprint!

T-mobile denied their free upgrade offer. There was a nationwide T-mobile free upgrade offer from iPhone 6 to 7 with $100 cash payment last September (2016). I have two relatively new iPhone 6s (less than 6 months) and would like to receive this offer. So I went to the local store and asked the customer service rep who told me that I'm qualified for this, and we paid $100 for the same sized hard drive one and perhaps $300 more for the 128gb iPhone 7 phones, and returned my old iPhone 6s. After a month when I received my bill it has $27x2 charges for the two phones. I asked them and they told me that during this period of time, T-mobile needs to examine your old phone and process your conversion/upgrade and it could take several months. And the bills keep charging me these.
Recently (after 5 more months with the upgrade) I received a email from T-mobile saying “They have 'found an issue with your device, and the quote has been adjusted because of WRONG_MODEL,RECEIVED_LATE. The adjustment is from previous $265 to $190.” T-mobile asks me to contact them before 3/4/2017 or accepting the adjustment. I called T-mobile customer service. They don't have any answer for that. They are saying they are telephone customer representatives and know nothing about what is going on. When I asked them what happened to my bill, which kept charging me the extra dollars they say "You got new phones that's why you should be charged." I told them that is a free iphone 7 upgrade program that I enrolled. They said "No, I have never heard of such things happening." and asked me to show the evidence.
Upon arguing with her, she said she will check with a senior representative. The later verified my account and said, "According to our promotion, your account is a family account that does not qualify this promotion. You should upgrade your account to T-mobile One in order to receive this promotion within 14 days and now it's been 5 months therefore we cannot do anything about it." I explained the history of the upgrade and how the local store did to upgrade my phones, and they say "You can check with the local store rep and we can't do anything to help you."
I am totally pissed off with their service, to say the least. If the local store people made a mistake, how come the company didn't even mention there is a 14 day grace period for me to upgrade my account? If no such promotion in the first place, how the local store people could do that with such confidence? My old device are only 6 months old. Now I have to pay extra $1400+ to change them. This is absolutely fleecing of the loyal customers.

After over three years of being a T-Mobile customer with an excellent payment history T-Mobile is threatening to send me to collections for $34.31. While as a customer I never once made one late payment as my account was set up for automatic billing and I had a credit card stored on file. On January 2 I switched mobile providers from T-Mobile to another carrier. The reason I switched mobile providers is because despite my never having come close to exceeding my plan, i.e., voice, text and/or data - I was on the Simple Choice Plan - my monthly charges were over $104. Shortly after switching I received a bill from T-Mobile for the period January 2 through January 10, 2017. I called their offices, explained that the bill was in error because I had switched mobile providers on January 2 and requested they write off the bill.
When the representative refused to, I wrote T-Mobile. Of note is that my bill cycle began on the 2nd of the month, the same day I installed the other carrier's SIM card. Approx. two weeks later T-Mobile mailed a statement for the period January 2 through January 10, having clearly ignored my letter. As of February 2017 T-Mobile continues to send me written demands for payment and call and text me during business hours and on a near daily basis. This harassment is clearly in retaliation for my having switched mobile providers. It is also adding to my out of pocket expenses for postage, text and voicemail they send during business hours.

Years ago I cancelled services with T-Mobile due to awful awful AWFUL reception. It was a fight to get out of contract. I reported them to the FCC. Before they let me leave contract they told me to try their signal booster. They said if that failed to give me service they would refund me my bill money from that date on and cancel my cancellation fees. Catch was I had to return the signal booster upon cancellation of the contract. I was fine with that and I agreed. Well sure enough the signal booster was a piece of garbage. I called them back. Told them it wasn't working. They didn't want to speak with me. I reported them to the FCC again!
Finally a corporate manager calls me back, cancels the fees and then connects me with a regular sales rep to finish my cancellation. After all was said and done I asked for the return address for the signal booster and they hung up on me. I called back tons and tons of times to ask and every single time I was hung up on. I went into a store and spoke to a sales rep in person and he called customer service and they told him it's too bad and I can't return it that I have to pay for it. They want $500 bucks for it!!! I refused to pay it.
I am going on 6 and a half years of a runaround trying to get this removed and now they added fees. They think they are going to charge me $911.79. Where do they even come up with that number.

RE: T-Mobile Operations, Alcatel Evolve 2. Purchased my first phone in January from T-Mobile online, an android. It has been an unbelievably frustrating experience. I told T-Mobile this was my first smartphone and the man told me the Alcatel Evolve 2 was a great phone for what I need. I was moving to Houston from Ft. Worth, Texas and put it aside for a month. When I picked it up, needed it, purchased more minutes as it was a “prepay”, it was not working properly. I did not understand what “prepaid” meant but I have since found out it has disadvantages I should have been informed of as I spent a lot of time with the salesman on the phone. I since spent many HOURS on the phone with their support and finally proved to their satisfaction, after much ado, it was malfunctioning.
They sent me a return label and instructed me to remove the card and battery. I wasn’t about to do that myself and took the phone and label to T-Mobile store number 8058 in Houston. When I got there a young woman, I believe her name is Nohemy, removed the card and battery, gave them to me, and packaged the phone. When I asked her to give it to UPS, she refused saying they only pick up every other day. Fast forward to February 15th. I received the phone and next day, today, the 16th, I took it back to the store. The young woman who helped me was not there. Jiver approached me and was very rude immediately asking in a prosecution tone, where was the back of the phone? I was taken aback by his manner and frankly was afraid of him. I told him I did not like his attitude as I felt like he was attacking me from the start.
He stated, “I didn’t say…” I interrupted him saying, “It’s your angry posture, your attitude.” I was being chastised by a strangely antagonistic man who insisted the woman who packaged the phone would not have sent the back of the phone part to the factory. I just insisted she did not give it to me. I became very frustrated with him right away. Next, asked for the manager. When I was directed to Rick I was shocked. I had noticed him and saw he was singing to the music over the speaker in the store and his entire body was in a jittery state. His legs were moving constantly in jerks and I realized he was hopped up on drugs. I asked, "Are you the manager?” I was shocked. He also went into a spiel of shaming me and chastising me about not keeping the back of the phone. He told me the phone was not made by the company anymore and there’s nothing he could do.
This is when I went ballistic and insisted he take care of it. He then said he was going in the back room to “look for it.” During the time he was in the room, probably 15-20 minutes, Jiver kept glancing at me while going in there and staying. He did this twice. He was gone for some time when I knocked on the door. Another man came and I said, something “I am just getting started with you here. Don’t play games with me.“ I did not believe for one minute Rick was doing anything in that room to help me. Second time I knocked on the door Rick appeared and another person introduced himself saying he too, was the manager. This man was called Atif. I again, explained the situation to him and he too, downgraded the phone I had purchased from T-Mobile and proceeded to order the part online for me Saying he would credit my account.
I was, by this time, quite furious with the base level attitudes of these men I had to insist help me. I then caught the other “manager”, Atif, looking over at Jiver and laughing literally behind my back. I told him I was going to report this and that I know about the drugs. He seemed to hold his breath and go straightfaced for the rest of the transaction. As for me, I was LIVID. He told me I can return to the store when I get this part. I told him wild horses could not put me back there. To be aligned with a company that takes drug addicts and immature angry and irresponsible kids and puts them in charge is the absolutely pits. I will be telling everyone in my path for the rest of my time what a loser company this it.
I was treated deplorably from the get go. As if I had done something very wrong by just purchasing this particular model phone. And challenged by all 3 men who insisted my story about the part was not possibly true. It was disgraceful and when I left, I felt like I had been through a WAR. The level of disrespect, incompetence and rudeness combined with venom from the start with Jiver was impossible to convey in a letter. When I got home I checked the messages remotely on my line that again, wasn’t yet useable. It was a message from T-Mobile saying this was my last chance; that the warranty was up on my phone. The phone I had for 2 months and cannot yet use. I then had to spend an hour, yes, an hour, on the phone with T-Mobile explaining and re-explaining the situation to him! UN-BE-LIEVE-ABLE. My personal belief is that these men are running drugs in and out of that store. Nothing will change my mind about that.

Yesterday, two T-Mobile reps visited my place of employment, trying to get me to switch from my Verizon account. In order to give me a quote, they needed my info. I asked and was ASSURED that they were not doing a hard credit inquiry. I asked twice and was told, twice, it was a soft inquiry. T-Mobile couldn't come even close to what Verizon gives me ~ to the point they wouldn't share the quote with me or give me a copy. The reps left without giving me a business card, a quote, or any other form of contact information. Shortly after, I receive a notice from my credit monitoring company regarding a HARD inquiry from T-Mobile.
I spent the next 2 HOURS getting bounced from one TM rep to another. TransUnion requires a letter of deletion from TMobile to have it removed from my credit. One rep said that was ABSOLUTELY possible and gave me a number to call. Bounced around for another 30 minutes. I call the knowledgeable rep back but was unable to talk to him. He was there, mind you, but he was at the end of his shift and couldn't take my call. I would have to wait 48 HOURS to be able to speak with him again. When I finally lost my temper, I was given a PO Box in Albuquerque, NM to mail a request to. Are you kidding?!! First, I've been on the phone for 2.5 HOURS to get this resolved. Second, the main offices are in Bellevue, Washington.
I also emailed the privacy department for T-Mobile with zero response. Since there doesn't seem to be a single person at T-Mobile that can address this issue, I have filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and, now, Consumer Affairs. If I had simply misunderstood what the sales rep had told me, that would be on me. However, the rep lied to my face twice.

I have been with T-Mobile for 7 years and never have I been treated so badly until the last 3 years. T-Mobile will tell you anything just to get you off the phone and keep their product. I moved to Vegas almost 2 years ago and questioned how good the coverage in the city was. They lied and told me it was fantastic! I get here internet doesn't run fast because of congestion as they call it. Phone calls drop left to right in the major portions of the city and bad reception to where you have to hang up and call back multiple times. Then have the nerve to bill you with no adjustment and you have to threaten to leave them in order to get anything done.
Their phones are second rate and you pay sooo much for a device that starts giving you problems as soon as the warranty goes out. I recommend anyone who is even considering on going with T-Mobile to rethink that choice. God forbid if you need to call 911 and your service is with T-Mobile. They are not the same as they use to be when I first started and frankly will get worse as they have proven to me. 7 years down the drain and I've called them more than my own mother. Ridiculous!

This whole switch to T-Mobile and save is for the birds!! On November 18, 2016, my wife and I switched from AT&T to T-Mobile. We met with a sales person in a Pennsylvania store. Everything was going great. He informed us of the process of how the rebate card worked and that he would personally take care of this for us. All he needed from us was the final bill from AT&T. Great! Final bill emailed to sales person the beginning of December. One less thing we had to worry about. He assured us that it would be enough to adequately cover our final bill with them. It would take approximately 6-8 weeks to receive said card(s). No problem!!
Fast track to the beginning of January. I asked my wife if "We received our rebate cards from T-Mobile yet?" She indicated, "No. But let's give it another week because of Christmas and New Year's." Valid point. Not a bad idea. End of January still nothing. My wife sends our sales person a text to see what the status is of the card(s). He proceeds to inform her that he never received the final bill from us when back in December he confirmed this. We have all of the text messages to prove all of this. Fine. No problem accidents happen. She then texts him last week to find out the status of the rebate. We were then informed he completely forgot about this!! How do you forget about a customer after all of this communication with them?!?
We then inform him that he has until the close of business on Friday, February 17, 2017 to have these cards in our hands or we will be going to another provider. Claims his assistant manager at the store will be in contact with me on Monday (today) in regards to the matter. No call!! Great customer service, right??
I spent all morning on the phone with customer service (which I should not have had to do) trying to resolve this issue. While they were helpful in helping to resolve this, the problem remains that what they indicated in the store and what the value of the cards are worth does not even come close to the amount due to AT&T. I should not have to put out any additional monies for this issue with all of the inconveniences that have been caused from this matter. I cannot believe an additional $500.00 to compensate a (new) customer for being misled at the store is an unreasonable request.
I personally, wouldn't allow this to happen in my store because of an employee's negligence. Maybe this individual is just there because to him it is just a J-O-B. He did text me today indicating that he would be emailing me about all the information he found today. I don't need an email indicating the work I did for him. If you are considering taken advantage of this "great" promotion, better think twice before jumping. The grass is not as green as they portrayed it to be.

It's not bad. Better than most others concerning price and quality of service. My negative issues with them are (1) I never see the same employee twice in the stores and many do not have the proper knowledge about the product they are selling. Have also noticed a decline in customer service skills. (2) Traded malfunctioning HTC ONE in on insurance plan and received a Samsung instead because "they didn't do HTC ONE anymore on insurance". This forced me to buy over $150.00 in cases, screen protectors, chargers and cords because the new phone has a different kind of plug in. Very disappointing. Still, they are better than many others.

13-year customers being forced out of original contract / never ex. We have been with T-Mobile for 13 Years or more and we signed the original contract 13 years ago. This contract automatically renews for two years if ANY change is made to the plans features or phones. I have gone through well over 50 phones on my line alone and then I have the two brothers and my father, who originally signed that contract and is the primary on the account. THAT CONTRACT NEVER EXPIRED. Mostly because they use beta phones to sell for $500-$700 to their consumers and would then HAVE to have the three free phones in a 12-year period option. Because they were beta (tester phones) we would have to pay those hundreds of dollars upfront too... we didn't get a payment plan like they keep calling the upgrade these days.
The upgrade on our contract was like $25-$50 for a new phone that was better than your current... because they were all crap. Then the contract renews because T-Mobile frequently makes changes to your account and plan features without your consent or knowledge. That's right. They FREQUENTLY make changes to our plans and accounts without our consent or knowledge. When we would get our bill and notice the change, we would call and ask and they would literally admit that THEY THOUGHT it would be a better plan for us because it saved us money or had more benefits somehow. We would also have auto pay so sometimes a few months goes by before we notice and we point out how horribly illegal this is and they refund and change it back.
This happens over and over and over... and to top it off, every single time these crappy phones give out and I need to replace it, they tell me I need to either buy a new phone on their payment plan or get a refurbished phone (for the one I paid hundred and hundreds for and they give me a stupid refurbished phone in return and don't consider that theft. They steal half the value of the phone every time. They do that when they break down within the first year, WHICH IS ALWAYS).
Why are they telling me this every time? Because they don't offer contracts anymore. I don't care if you offer them or not. I had one when you did and IT NEVER EXPIRED because your phones suck and your operation are borderline federal offenses. Especially when you tell your consumers, while they’re recording you, that they delete all of their consumers previous contracts and that they have no supervisor or boss or just refuse to escalate until your start screaming like a psycho at them.
Then they magically find your previous contract or that boss they never had... still they insists that it HAD to have expired because it shows it expired. What date did it expire? They don't know so it must have been two years after you signed it... are you serious? We've been with you 13 years and you didn't cut your contracts until like five years ago. So what happened with the seven or eight years in between? They promise to look but tell you all they're going to find is that my contract expired exactly two years after we signed it... 11 years ago? Nine years before you cut out contracts? No... I tell them to look for ANYTHING that would prevent the ORIGINAL T-Mobile contract from expiring for the entire duration of our 13 years of service. They say 24-48 hours and now it's Sunday... no one called.
This all started when they bullied me into paying $700 for an iPhone after I got fed up going through 12 Samsung in a two year span that kept shutting off or losing sound all together... their phones are awful and they are stealing from all their current no contract users even more than the one who are grandfather clauses in with the original contract because of it. They can't keep getting away with lying about escalation, file keeping practices and also telling us we aren't allowed to record them. You record me. I automatically have the same right and you don't get to try and impose a company policy over federal laws. PERIOD.

We have been T-Mobile customers for about 10 years. About a year ago my wife's phone quit working (just after we finished paying off the $600 we paid for it). She went into the store in Mall 205 in Portland and they said that it could not be repaired and talked her into another $600 phone (plus a $30 cover of course). Well that quit a few days ago. It is a 4GL and she researched it and found that it is an endemic problem. (Sprint are replacing them for free). Went into the Mall 205 again and they said there was nothing they could do. They would sell her another $600 phone and give credit for the $189 still owed on the dead one. Of course she fell for it but got about $40 less than the $189 credit and of course a new $30 for a cover. What a racket.
Mine went tits up about two months ago and they tried the same dodge with me. I said 'no' and got a better phone at Target for $55. Thoroughly disgusted with T-Mobile.

You cannot reach their corporate offices by phone, only by letter. Forget that. Sue them instead. It's faster and less painful. After auditing my bill after several years of paying the same amount each month, I found ongoing service charges that I had not approved. They would not refund me the unauthorized charges. It amounted to approximately $400. They did volunteer to refund $8 of the $400. I demanded to talk with someone with more authority to authorize a return of these monies, but they refused. They told me that I could write their headquarters (in Germany, I suppose) and file a complaint. I decided to post here instead.

When T-Mobile offered their Unlimited USA-Canada-Mexico Phone/Text/Data I took their bait in spite of my being a light user of all three services just to avoid having to purchase costly internet service when I travelled. Had to buy a T-Mobile phone for $30 (my unlocked Samsung Galaxy wouldn't work on their network), and used very little data, texts and calling in the USA for the first week of service, then took a trip into Canada and immediately lost all data service.
T-Mobile customer service was my first call but seemed unable/unwilling to do anything. I spent the next two weeks trying to find the "lost data" problem by making repeated trips to outlets of T-Mobile's Canadian partners and private cellphone experts enlisting their help in trying to find the T-Mobile problem (all pointed back to a failure T-Mobile's failure to set up protocols with its partners).
After two weeks of running around (several 20-mile trips and hours and hours of my time), I became increasingly irritated with T-Mobile's "we don't really care about our customers' problems" attitude, I asked to speak to someone who might care. Transferred through a number of "levels of indifference" until finally someone actually said: "We don't guarantee that you'll actually get data service when you're out of the country". That was it! T-Mobile Customer Service people don't even read their own BS ads!
Still in my first month of $40/service, I ask for some compensation. They generously offer $5. Unacceptable! I get shoved "upstairs" - "that's all we're authorized to offer" was their reply. I said: "If you are either unwilling or unable to deliver the service you promise, I might as well discontinue service." Their response was to say "fine", hang up and cut off my service within seconds. If that wasn't insulting enough, they then bill me $56 for their $40 plan.
I've got to say that, from time to time, I've been on both ends of customer service - as a business person dealing with issues my customers had with my products and as a consumer looking for help solving my own technical problems with other people's products. But this was the one and only instance where I felt "customer service" treated the customer as the "problem" to be solved and solved the problem by getting rid of the customer.

This does not make any sense for them to allow us to upgrade the services, but not the phones. As the new bill came out it's $200 a month so we split 5 ways as other family is on our plan which made it cheaper for them to pay their part of the bill.

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.

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.

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'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.

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.

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!!!

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 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 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!!

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.

T-Mobile is very deceiving about coverage. No coverage when you are in a building. Spotty coverage in the Roanoke area. They even sell phones where there is NO service. Contact them and you get the same response, "Technicians are working in your area." Support is based in India.

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. T-Mobile lost a long time customer today and another 6 related lines.

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.

I saw a free upgrade on my device and signed up online for the free upgrade. However I saw a trade-in value of 0$ when I was processing it, and called in to the T-Mobile agent. They assured me, I would get full value for my trade-in, so I went ahead and processed it. On completion, I received an email again saying that the trade-in value was 0$... Which worried me again, so I called in and talked to another customer rep to cancel my trade-in and they assured me again that I would get full value and that there was no need to cancel it.
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. And was duped on the trade-in value by their agents. Never doing business with them again!!

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. This company is dishonest, and they should be shut down. We have never had such a horrible experience before this, and people should be warned not to deal with T-Mobile.

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.

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?!

I took it back to T-Mobile and they order me a new one. The battery didn't work so I had to pay for a new battery because that wasn't a part of my warranty. The replacement phone only worked for 3 days before the same thing happened again! Plus these phone overheat.

While I must commend the usual service for my unlimited line(s) I had two at first and had no real issues. But recently I had technical difficulties with my line. They blamed modernization and told me, “Yes you will see slower speeds for a while but it would improve (3 weeks later multiple calls longs hours fighting for 4 tickets to be resolved shows nothing) and so I kept working with them. After (as I mentioned) multiple hours of my time being lied to mislead and outright hung up on I managed to get them to put in 4 tickets. 3 closed ‘cause the "engineers" couldn't find anything wrong only to figure out that they were going to an address that isn't even on my account...
So I put in more work than all of their staff documenting times and dates event spent a good portion of my Christmas and Christmas eve trying to get a resolution and finally last night they figured out it was the wrong address... They were checking an address that was not on file and isn't even on the cell spot they sent me to resolve the issue. After all this the option they give me are cancel or continue waiting for them to try and resolve this.

Called T-Mobile retention specialist regarding the plan and bill discrepancies, the lady in response is very rude and horrible, she kept talking and interrupting what I was trying to say and acting like I am lying. She kept saying any disagreement was between me and the T-Mobile's authorized retail store, and I have to financially responsible for the bill whatsoever. This is worst customer service experience in my life. I am so regret to switch from Verizon to T-Mobile two months ago. I can't wait for my contract expiration.

Bait and switch with T-Mobile. My sister and I transferred our account with Verizon to T-Mobile on October 4, 2016. My sister got a new phone and I kept my phone, which was paid for. The Sales representative, from the Livingston Mall store, told us to pay off our account with Verizon and then we would receive a gift card for closing out our account. I immediately paid $893.00 to Verizon and uploaded the bill to T-Mobile. 1 1/2 months later and no gift card. I went back to the store on December 4, 2016, and was informed that we weren't going to get credit. I was told that we needed to turn in our phones and start another account. This information was not told or explained at the time of signing up with T-Mobile. After many hours of discussion we were given a supervisor and she apologized for the error and gave my account $200.00 credit towards my next bill and the promise of a $474.48 in a gift card.
Today, December 27, 2016, I was just informed that it would take another 10-15 days because they had the wrong address. The representative Tyler stated that they contacted me in regards to this error. No one contacted me. I feel they had no intention of sending the gift card. This is poor service and they are misleading the consumers. I should have stayed with Verizon.

T-Mobile customer service. The FCC should revoke the license of T-Mobile and the management should be prosecuted and locked up. Why? How is it possible that millions of customers have unauthorized charges CRAMMING or can demonstrate that they have been lied to which means they are the victim of an intended misrepresentation resulting in financial harm which means fraud. Does Walmart have additional charges each time you pay there? No! Why is it that the FCC does not investigate these complaints.

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!

He set it all up for me and made sure all my contacts transferred. When not in the store, T-mobile by phone, it's great. I prefer that over online because I'm very low tech.

In 8/16, my friend and I bought phones & unlimited service from T-Mobile. The end of 1st month on the 10g plan we ran out of data. So we went in, spoke with CS rep. I asked for unlimited that would not slow down for any reason. She sold us on the 14g plan. Each month it slows, each month I get different reasons why. Today I called twice, 1st call they said a tower by me is out that I'm not even close to my data limit. Of course I asked, "What limit? I have the best unlimited plan you have." I was informed that's not the case. I'm not tech smart, hence why I ask questions until I understand.
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. I've intentionally been slowed because I use too much data. If you are a high data user, do not buy into T-Mobile.

During the Black Friday Weekend promotion, I was in a T-Mobile store when I was told that I qualified for the iPhone 7 upgrade. I then traded in my iPhone 6 for the iPhone 7. 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. Or worse, it's bait and switch, which I believe is illegal. I have filed a complaint with the Federal Communications Committee. I can't go through small claims court because I did not opt out. Arbitration is the only option and I plan on doing that. This has been a nightmare.

I had been a loyal customer for the last 9 years. 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.

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.

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.
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 #.

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.
