I absolutely, 100% regret the day I was talked into switching from Verizon to T-Mobile. Worse tech decision I've ever made and I regret it EVERY SINGLE DAY I have to deal with the barely existent coverage. T-Mobile's coverage is comparable to Cricket's coverage circa 2008. The absolute worst coverage I've ever had the displeasure of using. No...I'm sorry, I take that back, that was just not true. CRICKET HAD BETTER COVERAGE IN 2008 THAN T-MOBILE HAS IN 2016...TWO THOUSAND SIXTEEN!!! I wish I could give T-Mobile a negative score.

I hate T-Mobile! I've been a customer of theirs for 7 years and I hate their customer service, they always have these "fees" added to your bill, service sucks, and you better not have problem with your phone. It will take you hours before you get through to anyone. These people are the worst and I hate being that customer that gives anyone a hard time, but anytime I need anything from them it's like I'm expecting to fight every time. I regret ever getting them and they make it so expensive to ever leave, but I'm done. End of rant.

I have travel in an country out of roaming. And use my for 8 days. T-Mobile charged me $1700. And I had them for almost 3 years. Never understood their way to bill people. Never. You can even do 10 years them without understanding their ways to bill you. Please people never go to T-Mobile. Unlimited message and coverage are lies. I have decided to never ever come back to T-Mobile. Scam. Sometimes they can't even explain you why they have charged you that much money on your bills. But they will tell you "Ohhh it's responsibility to pay for your bills" when you will never understand why they charge you the way they do? $1700 for 8 days out of the country. That's how T-Mobile charges... Please never go to T-Mobile?

Used T-mobile for many years and their coverage was trash. I'd get 2 bars at best unless I went downtown. Dropped calls, there were many instances where I couldn't even make a phone call because service was so horrid. I live directly by Albuquerque, not in the middle of nowhere. When switching carriers I had to leave one line up as the phone had to be ordered. They ended up charging 180 dollars for that last line for a month's worth of service. This is a crock of crap. The entire bill was less than that monthly. Worst experience ever.

Until recently I was a T-Mobile customer for more than ten years (I don't know the exact time frame because T-Mobile bought out my original cellphone carrier). Because of poor service, high phone bills, and dropped calls, I decided to switch cellphone carriers. The day I switched service, I called T-Mobile to get final bill amount including the cost of my phone. The customer service representative gave me the amount which I promptly paid. I thought the matter was over. I receive a bill in the mail one month later with a past due amount of $23.59. I call T-Mobile to inquire. The customer service representative stated I owed over 160.00.
I was flabbergasted, to say the least. I asked the representative what these charges were for. She passed me over to a financial specialist which informed me I signed a contract (which I did not because I was just a transferred customer) stating I had to pay for the remaining portion of the month in which I cancelled and an additional month for a cancellation fee. I am outraged. This is only a punishment for cancelling their services. This company needs to be monetarily censured for their actions. This practice is wrong. I told them I would not pay the fees but I know they will report it to my creditors and will lower my excellent credit report. It seems I have no recourse.

I've been dealing with T-Mobile for the past 3 weeks about getting my caller ID straight. When I make phone calls home or anywhere else the caller ID comes up a different name than mine. Therefore anyone I call doesn't know the caller ID name showing up on their end so they don't answer my phone calls. 4 times I called T-Mobile to fix this issue and 4 times T-Mobile tells me I need to wait 72 hours for the issue to be resolved. Well here I am. UNRESOLVED!!!

I was with AT&T for several years and recently saw the T-Mobile commercials and videos the guy at T-Mobile made about their upgraded towers and fast unlimited service so decided to switch to T-Mobile. HUGE mistake! I switched over my 3 lines and got a bill within 2 days for over $200. I figured they just bill a month ahead so ok. I took two of my own unlocked phones over, and bought one phone through them and it was paid in full right away so I called them and after a 1hr 20 min wait, they called me back and I asked them to unlock my phone which they are supposed to do by law. They said sure after you are with us for at least two months. I called back and after complaining to a manager for 15 mins she overrode it and had it unlocked.
I was with them 1 month and had a terrible echo that I heard on my phone every time I made a call. I did about 20 speed tests from all over and the highest download speed I ever got on their network was 13, I had over 35 on AT&T. I had no service at least 3 times in less than a month, their website never showed the correct phones we had, and even though I used less than 1 GB I kept getting messages saying I was over my data amount and was going to receive slower speeds. I tried to call them several times to fix these issues and EVERY time had almost an hour wait to speak to a person with an accent that I could barely understand.
One lady asked me, "Why do you want to see which phone you have online it don't really matter?" I said because the website is supposed to be correct and don't act like I am wrong for expecting it to work properly. After less than 1 month I was so sick of them and their horrible SLOW service that I went to Verizon. My speed tests on Verizon are over 90 on every test and the price is the same. DO NOT fall for the T-Mobile BS of unlimited fast service because it is in NO way at all true! Their service is very slow, the call quality is awful, they say they are unlimited but ARE NOT, they slow you way down, and they have horrible customer service. I would never go back to lying T-Mobile again and would never recommend them to anyone! Trust me, I have nothing to gain by telling you this, T-Mobile is horrible and you will not be happy if you switch to them!

Had an absolutely terrible experience here and with T-Mobile in general. This incident happened approx 1 1/2 yrs ago. I am writing this currently, because I just found out when I actually tried to use this (Jump On Demand) for the first time that I was completely lied to by several employees at the local T-mobile store. When the iPhone 6S Plus was released I went in to this store to check it out for fun with no intentions of purchasing. I was greeted by a salesperson (can't remember names now as it has been too long) who approached me to see if he could help. I explained I was just browsing and he told me about this great new program called Jump On Demand where you could change phones up to 3 times per yr with absolutely no cost whatsoever.
My first thought was this plan sounded way too good to be true. I told him I was pretty happy with my current 6 Plus but I agreed to hear him out. He explained that if I traded in my 6 Plus and paid it off completely, and put a couple hundred down for additional cost of the higher memory phone that I could get the 6S Plus 128 GB. I was then told that if I did this that I could upgrade up to 3x a year for no charge at all. The employee also said that as a Jump On Demand customer that I would have priority shipping when new phones are released.
I asked specifically if that meant that I could get the new iPhone each time with the same 128GB memory for no charge at all (I even asked if there was an activation fee or anything at all). The answer was you will absolutely pay nothing and a couple other employees that were there also confirmed this. They said I just simply bring my other phone in and swap it out. It felt too good to be true, but I went out of pocket about 600.00-700.00 in order to obtain this said "trade in ability" and that made me think that if I take the big hit now I will be able to benefit down the road.
Fast forward to the next iPhone release which was the recent iPhone 7. I started to research the upgrade process a few days before the release date and found out that I would have to call in and order over the phone since I was JOD. This was already different from what I was told originally. I called ahead to confirm this process and spoke with an individual that was nice enough to offer to call me at precisely the moment the phone would be available for order. I agreed and set up for him to call me. He never called and I tried calling in around 10 minutes after the release and was put on hold for about 1/2 hr only to have the salesperson tell me that their computers had gone down due to the mistake of underestimating that amount of traffic they would have.
I was again told that I would receive a call back and that I would not lose my place in line. I had to work the next day so I went to bed and never received the call. I called a third time when I got up at around 5 am (lost about 2 hrs of sleep and failed to order phone). I finally reached someone who was eager to help and explained their system was back up and running. At this time things went really bad.
I will shorten this part of the story as this is getting a bit long, but in a nutshell they stated that I would have to pay about 170.00 to get the same equivalent phone! I was obviously extremely angry and disappointed, as this was the first time that I was able to try and use this JOD service that I paid so dearly for a couple yrs back! It was then that I realized that I was simply lied to in order for the employees to make a commission, or thought it would be funny to screw me out of all this money upfront? My options to get this new phone (which is why I purchased this service in the first place) were very poor now. I had to either pay 2-3x as much and change cellular carriers (which I thought strongly about doing), or just pay the money and accept the large loss.
I went ahead and ordered the phone. The next day I received an email stating that my new phone would ship sometime in November!!!??? This was the final tipping point that made me write this review. So much for priority shipping? I literally ordered this phone 5 hrs after its release, and this is the best T-mobile can do for me?? Thanks to this poorly run company, I will be one of the last of the initial interested upgraders to get their phone. I would give zero stars if I could because I am extremely pissed and disappointed with T-mobile. The service isn't even very good compared to my former AT&T carrier. I wish I had stayed with them and saved myself all this trouble. Big thumbs down all around.

I wish there was a way to give less than one star. I switched from Verizon to T-Mobile to save money. What a huge mistake that was. First my Visual Voicemail on my iPhone never worked. 4 phone calls and 3 chats, still didn't work. They kept telling me there was an issue with android and the voicemail. Each time I told them that I didn't have an Android. It never clicked with them. They told me, "well you can still get VM, you just have to dial 123." What? No, the service was so bad in my home that 1/2 the time I didn't get my calls and I never got a notification that I had a voicemail. And sending a text was a nightmare. Every text I sent I got a message saying it couldn't be sent. I went back to Verizon, it only comes to about $3 more per month and the service was so much better.

Ok so we switched to T-Mobile a while ago due to needing phones that worked and not wanting to pay an arm and a leg. We ended up paying just as much as I was paying for AT&T a while ago which was why I switched from them. The service T-Mobile has is horrible, to say the least. I couldn't get service in places where I normally could even with Boost Mobile such as my mom's house, my basement, and several of my friend's. I have paid my bill every month on time for the time that I had T-Mobile, never a late payment.
We ended up switching to Sprint because we know their service to be better. T-Mobile sent me a final bill and instead of brushing it off for months to years as some people do, I chose to pay it over a few months but it was always before the due date and in the amount of my regular payment. I had one payment left and they decided to send me to a collections agency even though it was obvious I was making payments on it and they've never had a problem with me not paying the entire time I've been there. I will be paying the remainder of my bill when I have the money and will never use them again.
Not to mention we started to experience dropped calls a lot shortly before we switched carriers. Any company I have ever dealt with, if you made payments they wouldn't send you to collections as long as you made the effort to pay it. They don't care about anyone but themselves but that's ok they can have it because I won't be using them nor will I ever recommend them. Good day. P. S., My original balance was nearly $600.00.

So let me start off by saying I had liquid damage on my IPhone 6S. So the very next morning I called the insurance company to get a new phone of course had to pay for a deductible which was $250, I paid it and expected my phone to come in a week. I WAITED 2-3 WEEKS so I called the insurance company, spoke to a women, and she tells me, "WELL WE ARE OUT OF STOCK ON IPHONES", so what I had to wrap around my head was why didn't anyone notify me on no restock on my particular phone?? I got no call, no text, no email, etc. I feel as though that was unprofessional.
So I paid out of my pocket to get a new phone exchange because they didn't have my phone. Also spoke to them and comes to find out they do not have my billing address and have no recent history of my current address, as of now they are giving me a difficult time and blaming it on tmobile itself. T Mobile has verified my address to me 3 times. I also have the app that says my billing address is correct. But when I call the insurance company they do not have any of my billing information. Honestly this is ridiculous, I usually do not give reviews but this is over the top horrible and you need to do better as a company. As of today September 22, 2016 at 9:38 am I have had to go back and forth through the insurance company and t mobile customer care in order to find out what happened to my claim back in April may 2016. I will be reporting to someone in charge as soon as possible.

T-Mobile JUMP! was sold to us as a upgrade/replacement plan for my wife's Blackberry Q10. The Q10 starting acting up and it needed to be replaced. Well as it turns out that T-Mobile doesn't support Blackberry OS anymore so we'd have to get an Android phone to replace it. So what do they send us, a PoS used Alcatel phone. This phone is so bad that only a kid (and I mean an underprivileged kid) would like it. The screen is so poor you can barely read it. Then we found out about the Blackberry PRIV Android phone. We asked about getting this as a replacement and they said "sure... $700." "What? I thought we had insurance for phone failures." "Yes but... read your contract, we can give you anything we want." The kicker, I bought the same BB PRIV phone new in a box for T-Mobile network from Amazon Marketplace for $340. As a result I cancelled all the JUMP! on our account. Next, GET OFF of the T-Mobile network.

I recently visited Mexico. While in Mexico I made a couple of calls only to receive a notification of the cost per minute. Text. Due to the text I returned only being charged $25.41 added dollars to my bill. My complaint stems from T-Mobile being a reactive organization. I was told unless I ask about the international calling it is not visible on my account as an option. I asked for the supervisor, Crystal and she reviewed my account as being eligible for the $10.00 free call program. It is called Mobile without Borders. She also said she could not reverse the charges. I would like to know as I asked her the same question. If T-Mobile can send me A TEXT STATING WELCOME TO MEXICO, why can't they send a notification giving me the option to purchase the international plan. Nowhere on my customer site is there information about international calling.
From a customer standpoint this is poor and misleading communication. My website payment page should include all the options my account can give me. I should not have to guess, as instructed in clicking on changing services. Changing services means to me the customer that I want to upgrade my plan. Living on a pension and trying to enjoy the life of retirement brings these sort of rip off the customer events to the surface. T-Mobile please learn how to communicate. You do well when it is for your payment and poorly when it comes to communicating in the interest of your customers. Otherwise good phone etiquette and pleasant interactions.

After a short month of having the worst cell service of my life, calling customer service to try and resolve my issue 3 times, I've decided to cancel and go with Cricket.

We switched to T-Mobile after becoming enticed by their advertised promises of excellent coverage in the Washington, DC area, as well as perks like the "Binge On" service, which is supposed to allow you to stream video and audio from leading providers such as YouTube, Netflix, Hulu, Pandora, etc, without using up your mobile data limit.
We signed up several months ago, and we have been questioning whether the Binge On service has been working properly, since our data usage still seems as high as it was with our previous carrier despite so much of the traffic supposedly not counting towards our data limits. We looked through our account information on the T-Mobile website, and their app, to confirm that the Binge On service was indeed present on our list of services, and also marked as "on". Then, about halfway through the month this month I begin to receive messages saying that I have used all of my mobile high-speed data. So I check my data usage summary, and lo and behold...1.3 gb out of my 2 gb monthly limit is from the YouTube app...despite this Binge On service that we supposedly have on our account which should mean that YouTube does not consume my data limit.
I called customer service for help, and they told me that my account DOES NOT have Binge On, and that I would need to upgrade to a more costly 3 gb data plan in order to get Binge On. I asked why our account displays as not only having the Binge On service, but with a big off/on switch next to it in the dashboard set to "ON"...and the customer service person essentially ignored the question and just kept repeating the same lines from a script about how Binge On is not included in the 2 gb plan, and asking if I would like to upgrade to a 3 gb plan. I'm curious why T-Mobile advertises the Binge On service without noting that it is only available with certain plans, and also why they would then display the service on people's accounts who are not actually eligible for the service, leading them to believe that they can use the extra data only to discover that they are out of data halfway through the month.
I will also note that the wireless and 4g LTE coverage, which they advertise as being one of the leading options for Washington, DC, telling you how they have added so many towers in the area over the past two years, and how their new technology helps their signal reach into buildings and into the metro, is absolutely the worst coverage I have ever had from any carrier as a resident of the DC metropolitan area. I get zero signal anywhere in the office building I work at every day, and have to leave my desk and go stand by a large window on one specific side of the building several times a day in order to retrieve my texts and voicemails because it is the only place in the building I can get 1-2 bars of signal. When riding the metro, my signal disappears completely before I even get down the first escalator.
There are numerous dead-zones for 4g LTE data all around the areas I frequent for my daily commute and regular errands--busy, populated places on main roads that you would never think are undeserving of full tower coverage and yet whatever you're doing on your phone freezes whenever you go there because the 4g LTE data signal disappears. Also, both phone signal and data signal are nearly non-existent once you get 10-15 miles outside the beltway region, so if you ever travel by car, don't count on being able to enjoy your 4g LTE data during your journey. I have been thoroughly disappointed with T-Mobile since switching to them. I would not recommend them as a carrier to anyone else.

If you like being treated like a dumb, deaf, insignificant herd of cattle, then T-Mobile is the right carrier for you. I've had the pleasure of being on hold on their customer service line more hours than I would care to admit. But they make it very difficult to prove your point or your issues and get a resolution. In more than one occasion a representative has given me incorrect, misleading, or different information from another. Most of them make you feel like they just want your money or for you to hang up and will say whatever they need to get you to do that.
Aside from poor customer service, calls are constantly dropped, dead spots are still around in Manhattan despite their cellular data maps saying otherwise. There is no followup on customer concerns, website constantly crashes, and they are eager to hit you with extra charges even if it was not in your agreement. T-Mobile's benefits and price may look attractive but don't be fooled. Save yourself the time and frustration.

My internet service drops off to Emergency Calls Only all the time, I get dropped calls, and I can search the internet at a snail's pace unless I am on WiFi. I have called several times to be told there is no problem in my area. It never used to be this bad before they upgraded their so-called service to the 4G LTE. Has anyone else noticed how bad it is now? I am at the point of switching carriers now after all these years.

I am a T-Mobile customer from 1.6 years. I am enrolled in its family plan and do not have international calling enabled as I use Google voice for that. But few weeks back, suddenly T-Mobile enabled international calling for me and the whole family plan members, but we did not received any SMS or notification. Now whenever I called any international call, it was not from Google Voice but via T-Mobile. Due to which my monthly bill came around $500. I being a student, it is not possible to pay such a huge amount.

Had T-Mobile and paid my bill. Two days after bill was confirmed paid, got call from T-Mobile rep saying I had not paid my bill. Gave her my confirmation # from T-Mobile that bill had been paid but she said she did not believe it. Dropped T-Mobile that same day for bad billing practice. The confirmation # said I had a "0" balance with T-Mobile when I dropped it. Now T-Mobile is billing me for service that I didn't have and has billed me for three different amounts. I called and asked for a itemized bill and T-Mobile refused to send me one. Contacted the FCC and they have tried to mediate with T-Mobile but T-Mobile is also refusing to cooperate with the FCC. T-Mobile did this same thing in 2014 to customers and got in big trouble with the Federal government and here they go again.

Due to poor performance and inflating charges, I decided to cancel service after over three years of subscribing. Went to the T-Mobile store, they could not cancel (although they can take payments), and we called while in the store, as the workers there smirked and rolled eyes, and were generally patronizing. Cancelled the service at the end of the billing period, and the phone was shut off the day after. Due to this, I was not able to transfer my old T-Mobile number to the new phone. A few weeks later, I received a bill for another month's service. I called the customer service and was handed off to "cancellation department".
The person there explained that the account was in "active" status due to me telling them I wanted to transfer my old number to the new phone, therefore they had to charge even though the phone service had been terminated. She did not try to explain the reason or solve the problem, just kept going back to her script, which basically consisted of "you must pay". Not rude, but no help. I explained that I had talked to their tech support in trying to change the number over, and they couldn't help with it, but she returned to the script. Also no one told us there would be a charge for keeping the account active. Total rip off. Will pay the bill to ensure my credit is not damaged, but will warn everyone I can to avoid using T-Mobile. In total, the worst customer service I have encountered in a long time. Poor technical performance and unethical billing practices.

I have someone using my credit card for reoccurring payments. When I finally took the time to sit down this month and itemize my statements for quarterly taxes and realized every three months I was being charged a random fee, I called the 1-800 #. Only to find it is a T-Mobile Prepaid cell phone billing my account. This is bad enough. We all know the hassle of getting a new card at this point. BUT to call T-MOBILE and be told I can dispute the charges through them OR my bank but not both... then be told that if I dispute through them I will either see a credit back to my account in 14 days or I won't and that will tell me if they agree that I haven't been using a cell phone in Florida when I live in Missouri is RIDICULOUS!
They don't mail you a letter saying they will or won't credit you back, they won't even call you back to tell you... you will either see a refund or you won't. Absolutely RIDICULOUS!

Then I called the T-Mobile store and asked about a sim card. They said $60 for that. I went on Amazon and bought a sim card for under $6.00 and bought a Sandisk Extreme 16GB memory card for under $12. So if I would have bought those things locally it would have cost me $110. I spent like $18 on Amazon. With tax the local guys would have got nearly $120 from me. With Amazon they got $18. WTF? How do these local businesses stay in business?

I had an apple phone on lease. I lease for nearly one year with $12 insurance of assurance who is connected with T-mobile. Somehow, someone claimed on my phone and the phone was sent to a different address. We never knew and acknowledged any information until I got mail to inform for the claim. I called insurance immediately and told them I never claimed any phone and did not receive any phone. However, they still charged me $650 from auto payment. I turned it off and called T-mobile.
Both T mobile and Assurance kicked us back and forward so many times because of this fraud claim and this was their fault. Both of them promised to solve the problem but the problem never solved. The money still there and I could not pay for my service bill. This issue costs us a lot of time on phone to explain and negotiate because we paid for insurance $12 per month. It is better to use an used phone without insurance. NO INSURANCE, NO COST, and NO PROBLEM.

T-mobile should give their customer that have been with them for 6+ years some free things for this really really epic fail they call a hassle free recall so called thing they're doing. I was told by the department they gave so called set up for this. After I spent a **1 1/2 hours in one of their damn so called T-mobile store. They had no idea what to do so they called 611. They still could not figure it out. So they so called attempted to call a supervisor come to find out she was the so called supervisor there. That's not the half of it.

A smoke screen to give you a runaround and not give you a thing for your hassles that they give you they also make you pay a shipping and handling fee on top of that. But they say they will take it off your next month's bill. That is giving you customer a big ass slap in the face.

So T-mobile is selling s7 for over $700.00 new but will only give you $235.00 for a new one, talk about a price mark-up on them. They are ripping off their customer and so is all other cell company out there. T-mobile doesn't care about it customer just the money.

Now I am paying 250.00 because even though they took back the equipment and apologized they are still billing me even though it was not my doing and I was lied to. I was put on a monthly plan to pay them off.

I am unemployed and working end and odd jobs in the community, and in school getting my masters in social work. I cannot afford this and I am going to have to go bankrupt because of a PI case so it has not been easy and on top of all this T-mobile has not been honest upfront just trying to make money from customers. I after 5 years of being a customer want to cancel them and c to reverse the charges if they want my business and I want to be treated with good customer service skills and stopped being lied to and sold things I do not need to make their quota. It's unscrupulous and it is also wrong the T-Mobile company is letting it happen and still after the mistake is made they are not rectifying and reversing the charges.

It is scary that after what I experienced, I come here and find many others who have dealt with this nightmare of a situation. I decided to pay off the phone two months ago BUT... I STILL kept getting the monthly phone fee. When I called their customer service, the lady I talked to did nothing but argue with me and then suddenly decided that she was going to transfer me to someone that could help me, lol. After hours on the phone with them they finally apologized and credited me for the 2 months that they kept billing me for the phone payment - even though I had already paid it off.
The last T-mobile geek I talk to on the phone tried to make up excuses for what had happened. But after spending hours on this, there was no excuse he can really come up with. He said there was a disclaimer that was on their website that warned people to not pay off the phone before paying off their monthly bill. Wth? Anyways, I checked the site while he was still on the phone... And he couldn't really show me where this disclaimer was. Big surprise. Like others have said... The service is good, but customer service is horrible when it comes to billing. They don't know what is going on and will try to place blame on you.

The company I work deal with all the major cell phone companies. T-Mobile by far is the worst with their unethical sale practices. They will lie to the customer about the products they sell and mislead the customers in order to boost their sales. Then when an issue arise they will lie through their teeth again and will deny any responsibility for their unethical sales practices.
I spoke with a T-Mobile manager. He would purposely peel stickers off of cases (these stickers would let customers know they needed to test the case first) and completely disregard that company's policy and warranty on the product. He told me if it's not on the box he doesn't need to know it. He also stated that there are no instructions on how to use the user manual. This manager acted like the biggest idiot just so he could refuse to help the customer whose device was ruined due to their lack of following instructions and properly testing/installing the case.
The Manager also refused to learn the proper warranty for the products he sold. This is not the first time I have had to deal with unethical managers twisting products around in order to make more money. T-Mobile need to have stricter rules when hiring managers. T-Mobile should require ethical behavior and top notch customer service.

She also said if I don't get the 6S credit the first month don't worry the second month they will double your credits. She also tried to sell me 3 cases for $240 by saying it's only $10 a month. I said no thank you I'll find some cases for $10 each. She said, "But our cases have a lifetime warranty". For $240 you can keep your lifetime warranty.

I asked for the bill through mail (I used to pay online but I did not have access to see my bill anymore after my account was inactive) and to my surprise, AGAIN, a monthly payment for "my already paid in full equipment" was included in my bill. The last explanation that I got from the Billing Supervisor was that after analyzing my account, he realized that T-Mobile did not apply the amount that I paid towards the equipment, as I asked, but instead went to the service's monthly payment. He said that he understood it was not my fault, but that's what the system does AUTOMATICALLY!!! In other words, the customer doesn't know where his/her money is going to be applied even if the customer asked for the money to be applied to the remaining balance of the equipment.
On the other hand, if you ask to talk to a supervisor (they have the power to exercise their discretion) the representative will let you know-- in advance-- that the Supervisor will tell you the same thing that it was said to you previously; in other words: the Supervisor will never help you to solve a problem for which you are not responsible...

All they tell you is you don't have a contract and there is free phone and unlimited data which attracts people. But this is all not true. The data is unlimited but 90 % of the time there is no network so you barely use any data??? There is no contract but when you terminate your contract you will have pay about 150 which they put it as equipment cost. But none of these things will never be told to you when you sign up.

It seems like the customer service representative have been taught to speak from a script and that they do not have any desire to solve your problems; instead if possible they will look for ways to rip you off and make it look like they are actually doing you a favor. In February of 2016, my husband bought a Samsung Galaxy from them which cost almost $700. Six months into having this phone, I accepted a software update from T-Mobile. My Phone began to malfunction. It began to freeze and restart several times in an hour.
I contacted Samsung, they performed a factory reset and numerous other things. The phone still malfunctioned. Samsung suggested that my phone should be taken to Best Buy to perform an app sweep, the phone still malfunctioned. T-Mobile told us that they would send us a new phone on such and such date. When the day arrived, we were told that the phone was on backorder from Samsung. My phone finally stopped working after two weeks. Each time we inquired about the status of the new phone, customer service had the same script. They were insensitive to my plight. I was without a working phone due to no fault of mine.
The customer service representatives finally told me that it was all Samsung's fault that my phone hasn't arrived, nothing they can do about it. If I want a new phone, I have to pay for it. I was offered another type of phone for 400 dollars. I was told that they would take 75 dollars off. This made me really pissed because I was out 700 dollars only to be out a couple of hundred dollars more. My issue was never resolved and we are leaving to verizon.

That's 308$ that we just gifted to them. The reason we didn't see that device before now is because it's hidden in our account and I accidentally dug it up after 20 clicks.

T-Mobile may have the best wireless plan but their Sales and Credit depts are extremely difficult to work with. They asked me for my name, address, SS and birthdate at 6 times when I called in to order a new line. I tried to do the order online but it always ended with a P1 error code in the final step. It then asked me to call a number and give the order number. When I did this, the rep asks me for the same info again (the info that's already in the case number!), then they transferred me to the credit check dept which again asked for the same info. And then they asked for the TransUnion PIN.
I first said I don't have it, so they said fine but I have to do a $50 deposit. So I gave them the PIN, which they said it came back wrong. I called TransUnion, which said the PIN was correct. Furthermore, TransUnion said since I unfroze my credit file for 30 days, during those 30 days any merchant can do a credit check, and that no merchant should ever need to ask you for your PIN.

This is literally my worst experience ever with cellular phones. Calls drop constantly, dead air, lousy coverage in many parts of the country, slow data. But more to the complaint I am sharing, we set up a business account and got new phones through T-Mobile - what an epic mistake that has been. Do not do that if you insist on trying out this terrible company. I have been paying for 4 phones that I do not have in my possession for 15 months now. I short pay the invoices every month, and get the threatening letters, etc. I have had no fewer than 6 "customer service representatives" promise to resolve what appears to be a pretty simple issue, yet it's not and I still am supposed to be paying for 4 phones that I do not have.
They promise, they PROMISE, to call me back at a specific date and time, and I have been blown off every time. They send follow up customer service surveys via texts to which I respond, and I even got a return call from a real person from that department of clowns promising action, but no follow through there either. If I were T-Mobile, I would be embarrassed at being so inept. If I treated my customers like they are treating me, I would be out of business. I cannot stress enough to avoid this company like the plague. They can't seem to invest any money hiring people that are worth anything, but they can sink millions into sponsoring the Olympics. I am willing to bet my phone wouldn't have worked at all in Rio de Janeiro.

After being a loyal customer of T-Mobile only phone service I have ever had 12 years. My phone broke. Went to a store. The lady working (fern) could not tell me the difference between phones. Made me change my number and I didn't need to. Took customer service 2 days to clean up my account then my phone broke. Brand new phone broke under buyers remorse. They still would not replace it. Called 611. They said they would send me a phone overnighter. Well 2 weeks still no phone. I will be canceling my account. Never in my life have I been treated so awful repeatedly.

I was considering transferring from Sprint to T-Mobile but I thought I would start out with a prepaid phone. After misplacing the phone and being charged each that I did not have the phone I decided that it was time to stop my recurring payment. I called and the representative assured me that the payment would not be submitted for that month because she had placed a suspension on my account. T-Mobile representatives say one thing and do another because the very next day my account was debited for payment.
Being that this is my first time having to deal with T-Mobile, I can say they by far have horrible customer service. So, yet again I pay for a month of service for a phone that is not usable. Having to take matters in my own hands and be inconvenienced in the process to keep T-Mobile for processing another payment next month, is ridiculous and the supervisors are just simply rude. Needless to say I will be staying with Sprint, never to use T-Mobile again.

I know she had the right address, and she tells me yes they can do the hotspot for us in our area. Ok so I'm thrilled, it's cheap and a great deal, so she goes on and explains everything to me, tries to get me to switch phones over to them too, but my husband doesn't want to so I tell her no we just want the internet. So she takes all my info, and sends me everything.
So I receive the package and have a little trouble with sim card, so I talk on the phone for a while and we finally figure out what's wrong. I had to order a new one. They didn't make me pay for the card, but had to pay shipping. Received other sim card tonight, so I call them to set it up, and have issues again. Finally I asked if I'm just not getting good service so she takes my address, and tells me "O WE DON'T COVER YOUR AREA AT ALL." This is ridiculous.

I dread calling customer service but I couldn't sleep one night and had questions about upgrading my plan so I called the T-mobile customer service number. Not only were my questions answered but during the amount of time my rep had to transfer me and wait for me to get info he was extremely patient and delightful. Stayed with me the whole time. He had me on hold for one point while he was getting information for me and was extremely apologetic even though he was helping me and getting nothing in return.
People tend to get so upset when they have to hold but being in his position before I knew he was running around trying to get answers for me. Turns out I need to make the change of plan in store even though I qualify. I asked if they make commission because I wanted him to get credit for his hard work but all he said was that he wanted me to have a great t-mobile experience which I did. I normally don't leave reviews but I work in sales so I know how it is to deal with these situations and I appreciate him going out of his way to help me even though I know he wasn't getting extra incentive for it. I would stay with t-mobile just for the great customer service experience considering the past bad customer service I've had with my last provider.

I bought a 4G LTE Hotspot to use while my primary connection was down for the week. The plan I purchased was called the SC Mobile 14GB. I assumed that "SC" stood for "Simple Choice" and on T-Mobiles site, it says "all Simple Choice plans 6GB and over on phones, tablets, and other internet devices qualify for 'Binge On' which allows you to watch Hulu and Netflix in standard definition without using your data quota."
As soon as I signed onto my Hotspot for the first time, I noticed that my remaining data dropped from 14GB to 13.9GB, so I think no big deal and pull up Netflix to make sure I actually am not consuming any of my data quota. As soon as I noticed that it was using my data, I called T-Mobile and apparently the "Binge On" feature is not included on Hotspot plans. The rep was unable to tell me what the "SC" in my plan name meant, and also could not tell me what an "other internet device" was, but could tell me that was not a Hotspot, tablet, or phone. Their website plan information seems to be intentionally confusing and misleading to make you think you are getting things that you actually are not.
At this point, I am disappointed, but ask if they could just give me a credit for the $65 I spent on a plan that I am now no longer going to use so that I could use it in the future to put towards their day/week passes. He said that since data was already consumed they could not do anything other than cancel the plan and have me forfeit all data, service, and money.
There is no possible way to set these things up without a few packets hitting the internet so just make sure you know 100% what you are getting, otherwise you will be disappointed and they will make no accommodations, not even allowing me to stop my service and get a partial credit to put towards future use because I had consumed 200MB while setting it up and testing. They could have kept me as a customer, but it seems they don't care about customer satisfaction or retention as long as they make a few bucks off you, so be careful!

Now in 2016 their deal seems attractive on monthly price plus my forgiving belief that their signal has improved since. I signed up with t mobile with a TeleSales agent named Lisa ** on the t-mobile sales department from their website. After studying their plans and speaking with sales representatives, Lisa ** gave me a promotion of Additional 20GB on top of the 6GB plan per line as a new customer promotion and because I have excellent credit with no deposit required. I know I am not hearing crazy voices, I made her repeat this information like a parrot bird several times just to make sure. We close the deal and i agree to the Free SIM cards in the mail.
Later that evening, I called T-Mobile sales department again and all the ** people there tell me this promotion is NOT TRUE and there is no such thing. Of course I'm furious because my previous study a week before confirmed my suspicion that Lisa ** Promise is Bull crap!!! A few days later I call to cancel and once again the order T-Mobile support representative Lindsay ** reassures me that this promotion does exist and I have nothing to worry about. I should accept the service next week. I believe her again and I call back 30 minutes and I spoke with Spencer ** From T-Mobile order support and he confirms with me that this promotion is NOT TRUE and researched it on the website. He said Lindsay ** Sits across from his cubicle and will correct her now.
Spencer ** And I review the website together and reveals that this promotion for 10GB FREE is from year 2015 and there is a bold instruction that T-Mobile representatives should NOT offer this because it has expired. All in all I don't agree with this ** false fake sales practice and has ruined my hopes that T-Mobile is right for our seven lines. We will stick with AT&T which is a tad more expensive but they are honest and brutal about their service upfront like Verizon. In AT&T service is crystal clear. You pay for service plan, phone line fee, and (monthly installment for iPhone payoff if you have one) and add tax and fees that's it!!!
T-Mobile is a LIAR and I am glad I kept calling back to discover their deceit. I am NOT continuing with their service, I wasted a credit check on these hooligans and I will REJECT their SIM cards on the UPS on Wednesday delivery. By the way I also found out that t-mobile international fee to call other countries (Mexico is free) is $15.00 fee per month plus whatever cents per minute to other countries. One of the girls told me this is $10.00 and it was false. AT&T is cheaper it is only $5.00 fee plus whatever cents per minute to call international (Mexico is free).

Approximately the second week of June 2016, I received a call from my cell carrier, T-Mobile. The representative said my May payment had not been received, that if I did not make a phone payment all cell services (3 phones) would be terminated. I had a notation in the checkbook that I had paid them through Bill Pay with my bank on May 24. However, at this time I had not received my statement and had no time to look anything up via computer since T-Mobile was putting me on the spot for immediate payment or risk disconnection without being able to warn the other two concerned parties. I immediately paid the $195.01 being demanded. I was not extended any courtesies for being a very long term client or for never being late on a payment.
I soon received my bank statement which reflected that in fact, a deduction in the amount of $195.01 had cleared my bank payable to T-Mobile on May 26. I placed a call to T-Mobile expressing what my monthly bank statement reflected. The response was that they cannot find this money and would have to put a trace on it which typically takes 72 hours, after which I would be contacted. I was very busy, my son was visiting with my grandchildren and I was not thinking about T-Mobile. When I received my invoice for the next bill, I called T-Mobile and inquired about the trace placed on my payment and asked why I had not been contacted as told.
The representative again told me that T-Mobile had no idea where my money sent to pay my bill was and that another tracer would be put in place. Again, I was told that I would be contacted shortly after the 72 hour time period. I waited another week, received no response from T-Mobile, and I placed yet again another call. This amount of money is quite a lot on my budget. The representative was starting to tell me the same thing when I stated that I have had enough and that I want the duplicate payment reimbursed. He asked for my landline number and said he would check into the matter further. I received a text message from T-Mobile requesting that I fax my bank statement to them within 48 hours.
I was astounded that they expected me to send them such sensitive information. I do not have a fax machine, I had to pay the UPS Store to fax this information for me. Now T-Mobile states that although the statement shows on May 26 $195.01 was deducted from my balance and spells out paid to T-Mobile that is not satisfying enough proof, they wanted my bank to call them! My bank informed me that they do not place calls such as this and that is the purpose of my statement. I agree with my bank, if this were not happening to me, I would think someone is insane.
I fulfilled my responsibilities and went far and beyond trying to prove to T-Mobile that I did, in fact, make that payment. What they did with it upon receipt is out of my control and I am not the one that should pay the price for sloppy business practices. I desperately need my money refunded and I am at a loss as to how to go about this in the proper way. Can you please be of help in guiding me in the right direction?

Called the store located in Olympia Capitol Mall tonight to get them to send me a power cord (have plenty of Ethernet at home). Person who answered phone said "we can't do that, you'll have to call customer care to get a replacement of the tower."
I asked if there might be one in the back room. He said, "I don't know, I didn't work last night. Call customer care." I asked if he would take a look because it was a bit absurd to have to order a full replacement. No luck and not sure he really did. Then spent an hour on the phone with Technical Support to try and get a power cord replacement. Nice girl, but due to procedural constraints, said she couldn't help me. She really tried, but couldn't due to procedures and concluded that I have to return the device to the store that is 3 hours away.
After noting the absurdity of the cost and time required thus far, plus the drive, she transfers me to the "loyalty customer service department". They say no. So they are willing to sacrifice a $1500 sale for, basically, a $5 cost (est shipping included) because of inventory management procedures. This is ridiculous. I'm doing the 3-hr drive to return the whole lot. Their demand must be strong, if the business model can absorb a $1500 return vs customer service satisfaction at a less than $5 cost. Flabbergasted!

Also, I went over while watching Netflix (which is one of the explicitly listed streaming services on "Binge On"). I called to complain and told them how the plan was presented to me, and a very nice customer service rep said "I'm so sorry that you were given bad info, we will upgrade you to 6GB (which actually allows you to use Binge On at no charge for the life of your time with T-Mobile".
I was very happy with this resolution, until I got my next bill for $132.00 (outrageous). I called to complain again and explained exactly what was told to me and they basically told me, "That sucks," and that they couldn't honor that pricing. Now I'm either stuck paying 30% more per month with T-Mobile, or switching providers and paying $600 in cancellation fees. Will never work with this company again.

I call and was told that the camera for the phone I sent in was cracked. I asked for evidence. They said they will send a picture through my email. That picture was never sent. I called three more times about the bill and inquired about the picture. One month later $ 175.00 was added to the previous bill. (Warranty fees I was told) I started again in a T-Mobile store that the phone camera was not broken that I took pictures the day before... that they never sent the picture of the broken camera. The store manager called and a picture was sent. I have no evidence that it was my phone. I asked to see my phone... I was told it is at the warehouse and they cannot return it. The replacement phone is still not working.
I called to send the replacement phone back and for them to keep the first phone too but to have the charges dropped. Guess what they said! "You cannot have your old phone back." I said "You told me that I can't have it and I will cut my lost and that they can keep it. All I want is for you to take the phone you sent me and remove all the charges since you are getting back the phone you replaced plus my original phone..." Reply "NO. You can send the phone back and come in the store and order a new one because you have the JUMP. You can send in the replacement phone but the warranty charges will not be dropped." I am urging potential buyers not trust T-Mobile. They are out to get every penny from customers by hook or crook. BE WARNED. T-Mobile is not customer friendly and certainly not trustworthy.

I was with Verizon for so long and I thought I would switch and give T-Mobile a chance. I'm so disappointed in their customer service department. Do I love my phone? Yes but I love my phone through Verizon. Do I love my bill? No but I didn't like my bill through Verizon? I like the unlimited features through my cell phone with T-Mobile and my only complaint is their customer service is just horribly lacking. Their claim that they have no hidden fees is just not true. My bill is as much as it was with Verizon if not more except that I have unlimited. That's the only difference. Verizon's customer service was rock solid! I am in full regret!
The store here at 2813 Business Center Dr Ste 103, Pearland TX (**) is a mess. They claim to be the number one store but I'm pretty sure they mean in sales. Customer service not at all! After the sales pitch and me signing a contract everyone in that store is just a mess. Then when I call the customer service rep on the phone they say the in-store only good for sales and when I talk to the sales people at the store they say that the customer service reps on the phone are all stupid and don't know what they're doing. Isn't this conflicting information not only on my bill but within a business with each other?
Finally the customer service staff on the phone I'm lucky if I can get one that I can understand clearly in English and I'm Hispanic. And when I get a good rep. they tell me they're going to put perfect notes about my dispute so that the next customer service representative can understand me and that's never the case. I've had problems with T-Mobile since day one April 3rd to today August 3, 2016. No not all the phone representatives are bad. Some really try wholeheartedly but some I can just clearly tell don't know what the heck they're talking about.
I won't bore you with my unresolved billing issues. Seems like many others before me have had the same problems with switching. At the end of the day a customer wants to feel respected, understood, heard and their problems resolved. I've had my name is pronounced. I've had one man call me honey and I also emailed the CEO and president of T-Mobile **. I'm sure no one at T-mobile cares, but boy do I regret my switch! #Ideeplymissverizon

In April of 2016 I canceled my T-Mobile account. My family was moving to a location where the coverage was really bad and needed to change carriers. I still had a phone I was paying off with them, so when I kept getting bills that I got in the mail, I figured I was being billed for that phone. This made perfect sense. I knew how much I owed, so I was not worried when I tried to get online, and there was no account available. After three months I was still getting bills and decided to just pay the whole phone off in one go, so I called into the payment department. I had no reason to suspect foul play, so I did not pay as much attention as I should have to the total they quoted me. After making the final payment, the employee I was woking with told me that I still had an active line on the account. I told her that was impossible because I had closed all of the lines three months previous.
Apparently, they had kept one line open all three months. I don't know what the confusion was. I told the woman in April that I needed to completely close the account and she got all the information she needed to cancel. Today, they sent me back to the cancellation department and I was sure they would help me out and refund me the money for the service not used. It was after all, their mistake.
Imagine my surprise when the guy told me that they would cancel the service, but they would not refund me the money. He said that he could see that the service was not being used and had not been used in months, yet he said there was no "provision" to get my money back because he could not prove that the service had been canceled. Another lie. I explained to this employee that he could look up the phone conversation that they record for "quality and training purposes" and he only said that he did not want to talk around in circles and that there was nothing he could do. In short, T-Mobile might have great prices, but the system is crooked. In my opinion, this is thievery plain and simple. STAY AWAY.

Don't get T-Mobile insurance. Besides paying a monthly fee for the insurance, they charge you $175 to replace your phone. Then I find out from Samsung that it was in fact a previously used phone. Then the charger didn't work and that phone insurance company (Assurant) refused to help me. Besides that I find out that my home, in the middle of a large busy suburb, has only one bar and cannot access the web at most times. Lousy coverage area for me.

Adding International Calling. Made two different visits to two different T-Mobile stores. The first rep, Nelson did not know what or how to address my request.

Mark in the pink shirt also got on the phone, and of course not help. He suggested I call the "loyalty" dept. So I went home and called them. I spoke to Michael in the "loyalty" dept and of course and to be expected, got no real answer. First he said there was a way of opening up the borders, then said, that it would not let him do it. He never answered as to my rate increases?
I have been with them almost 15 years. You think they would really have some loyalty and not care so much about the bottom line. Absolutely sick.

Called customer service; they said it needed to be activated and to wait 2 hours. 2 hours later; phone still couldn't read the SIM. Called customer service again. Told me to jump in a taxi - $30 fare - and bring it into a T-Mobile shop. I said this option was not doable and asked for a refund.
Was put on hold on and off for 2 hours then told they couldn't refund me, after they had me scratch off the recharge card to activate the account. I've traveled in developing Asian nations for years - never had a problem with a SIM. T-Mobile's service and customer service is worse than: Indonesian, Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand and China.

In return the promotion was that we would only have to pay 170 a month and then they threw in two Samsung tablets for free too. Our bill has never been less than 200 and when we had issues they refused to help us unless we went back to the physical store. The customer service rep moved to a new store and others said he did the whole set up incorrectly and would not help us. We went to the physical location the rep moved to and even dealt with his manager. We called every month and had to have our bill adjusted.

However, after a month or so, we realized payment is extremely unclear, proration charges was ridiculous. We contacted customer service and they were helpful. I contacted them 4 times about rebates. They were helpful and promised we will get it, but we never did. We literally decided to stay with them and referred friends just because of Andy, even though phone does not work where we are. Still working with them, would be at least a 4 stars if they give more details on what we have been charged (seriously, when we switched from Verizon, they required a detailed bill from Verizon. Well they better be able to give us a detailed bill as well then). Also they really need to be more clear on the rebate process.

First off, let me say I was with Verizon for 8 years before switching to T-Mobile. I always thought Verizon didn't care about any customer, and that is probably true today as well. Now I have been with T-Mobile for 10 years, and at first they were great. Very able to help you, and would come up with innovative plans to assist your individual needs. They were ok for a few years. Then earlier this year, Jan my phone stopped working, "can you believe" 1 year 11 months after I bought it. So I ordered one through Customer care, and they never made the order. SO they said I could go into a store and get one for the same discounted price. Kyle in the Carmel IN store lied to my face about my plan, then sold me on a plan that was $120 but told me it was $100. So I get my bill, then 1 month later I find out not only did I not get the discount, but my phone bill was $120.
So I thought I got it corrected, and it seemed to be, then they charge $5 to pay over phone with a customer service rep normally, but they said they would waive this. But the next month, not only did they not switch my plan back to $100, they charged $5 for the payment over the phone with the CSR that they said they would waive. It's not like putting your card in over the automated system is hard at all, and I always do that, unless they say they will waive it, but now I WILL NEVER do that again. So, these charges keep going on from month after month, and I have to call in month after month, and in May, they switched my plan back to the $120, I guess just for kicks. So I call in, and every time I call in I spend 45 to 60 minutes waiting and explaining situation to 3 to 4 people. They always promise and say they will do something but never do. This CSR promised and promised to waive the $5 fee and begged me to take payment over the phone.
I finally agreed. Guess what ended up on my June Bill, due June 21st. $5 payment assistance fee. And now, Liz in CS said that there was an installment payment on my phone when I called in, $.34 per month I had been paying on my phone, and that they never applied the credit to my account for purchasing the phone in the store. SO on and so forth. She swore she would get this credit on my account, and call me and email me when it was applied. Guess who never called nor emailed, nor credit applied. So I call be 6 days later, and Phil told me on June 27th that he would call, and never did, because credit wasn't applied, and every time you get someone different it is just different crap coming out of their mouth. Then Jeff from Customer Loyalty in Montana or somewhere mountain time I believe tried to tell me in early July that there were additional charges on my bill and I couldn't understand them without seeing the new bill.
Basically, he tried telling me that my normal $106 per month bill, was $219 because of proration charges because I switched my bill, and wouldn't let me talk, not even finish a sentence. He insisted he would send me the bill, and because he was a "man of his word" he would call me at 6 pm my time, on Sunday, and guess who never called, Jeff from Customer Loyalty. I was supposed to be current, but they had me owing $115 extra dollars in 1 month, and shut my services off. I had to call in 4 times on a Sunday. Finally got a CSR that listened to me, got my services back on, and was promised that this charge would be taken off. It never was. T-Mobile does not care about you or your situation. They will say anything they can, and try to make you feel stupid, and overcharge you here and there.
Their game plan is to charge a percentage of their customers a little bit a month, and most will just pay, and the ones that call in they will just pass around until you give up. It is a horrible company for what they offer. And it truly isn't much. They don't have good coverage area, they don't have any Customer Service worth your time, but are cheap. You get what you pay for, cheap lies and guarantees that are worthless. If you want to feel disgusted about your cell phone experience, and get lied to and have A LOT of LOT of time to waste talking to someone who cares nothing about you, and have little coverage area, sign up with T-Mobile. If you do not like these characteristics then STAY AWAY FROM T-MOBILE.

T-Mobile had a promo going on in March 2016 where if you bought a Samsung Galaxy Core Prime for $139.99 you would receive a statement credit for the cost of the phone ($139.99) within 3 billing cycles. I called, placed my order, verified with the rep all the above info and details, got an additional line and was told that I was all set. Well last month came around and I had not seen any credit applied so I called and was informed that this would be reflected on this upcoming (July) bill since it was not 3 full billing cycles yet. It was never applied to my July bill as I had been promised.
I called back, spoke to a rep, was placed on hold, waited for 15 minutes and the call disconnected. I called back, spoke to another rep and was told that I should have had ported a line in from a different carrier, which was not disclosed anywhere on the promo advertised online (which I also have a screenshot of) nor was I told of it when I ordered the phone nor when I called inquiring last month why the credit was not reflected on my last statement. I asked to speak with a manager (Janet) who was no help whatsoever.
The previous rep said that they dropped the ball for not informing me, and the manager also admitted that I had not been properly informed. Ridiculous. I told her that I had a screenshot of the promo and could email it to her, but she said that was not possible. I am very thorough and read everything, even fine print, since I am in sales and know as well that there could be a catch. I never read anything about having to port a line from a different carrier in order to receive a bill credit for the phone, which I also paid in full.
I have been a customer with T-Mobile for many years and have always stood up for them whenever I hear my friends or people talk about their poor customer service or dropped calls, etc. I feel bad for doing so because I finally got a taste of the extremely poor service I received by the highly uneducated people they have working for them.

By the end of January, I found out that I was not saving any money, so by February, I returned to Verizon and called and cancelled my plan with T-Mobile. Customer service promised to sent me an email and letter confirmation, but never did. I got a bill in March and April. Another phone call for one hour. Another promise to cancel account and send email. Never happened. After careful review of the whole issue, and deciding I was just going to be making payments to get them off my back, I started getting calls from collector. Nobody would listen to me. The more payments I made to collector, the more money T-Mobile added on.
I finally just had to clench my teeth and just pay it with a deep sense of indignation. I have never had to deal with lying customer service who entered in their record that I cancelled the account because of the bill. I neither said that nor implied that in any way.

I opted for T-Mobile over my previous cell phone company due to a special they had for UNLIMITED everything (Minutes, Data etc.). For a couple of months T-Mobile was great with no issues whatsoever however in the past 2 months their signal/service has been terrible. I've worked in the same office for over 5 years now and all of my previous carriers have worked great including T-Mobile but in the last 2 months I get ZERO signal. I don't get 1 bar, I don't get LTE, 3G, or 2G. What I get is "No Network Connection" No signal found for mobile networks. Now I've tried everything, restarting phone, changing the settings etc. and nothing works. I even reset my phone to factory settings thinking maybe I accidentally changed the settings (which I was 100% sure I didn't) and that didn't work.
According to T-Mobile's map coverage website I should have Excellent signal outdoors and in most home and big buildings. http://www.t-mobile.com/coverage-map.html. Well that's not the case. I have no signal indoor or outdoor. Could it be my Galaxy S6? I don't think so. 2 of my colleagues are experiencing the same network issues. 1 has an iPhone 6 and the other has an older generation iPhone - both with zero signal. My other colleagues who have Sprint, Verizon, and AT&T all have good signal. I don't know if anyone with Metro PCS, Boost, or Virgin Mobile users get signal here but based on my experience I wouldn't be surprised if they do, except for Metro PCS since I believe they use the same network as T-Mobile. I can not send or receive text. All of my apps say no internet connection. I can't make or receive phone calls (no emergency calls).
What is wrong with this company? I get my text messages and missed phone call VM while I'm driving home from work. Do yourselfs a favor and spend a little more money on a different carrier. If you can't afford to spend more money then go with Boost or Virgin Mobile. You will have the same or better service with them. This is not a fake review. I am a very upset and dissatisfied consumer who still has T-Mobile and would like for T-Mobile to reimburse me for services that I am paying for which I can not obtain. If this is not possible then at least fix your network issues as it was previously working without issues.

For the past year, I have had many dropped calls and what I call "phantom call" which is when neither you or the party you called can hear each other but your phone is still ticking the seconds and minutes. I called months ago about this and they sent me a Cell Spot device, which is a piece of crap made in China that did nothing.

They said they would "investigate", which means cutting off your service!! For a week nothing except receive 17 text messages from them of the same content, that I had a "ticket number" for my case. They said it would be resolved in "72 business hours" whatever that means. A week went by and no news, no service. Called again and got transferred three times and got three different answers: it is an outage problem, it is a tower problem, and my personal favorite, "there is no problem with your service!!!"

I've been with T-Mobile for several years and I've never had a problem until now. Ordered the S7, had problems connecting to the Internet. Took it to the store where they did some troubleshooting and changed out the sim. Still had problems so we took it back. Store informed us that since we pre-ordered the phone, we had to mail it back in to get a new one. Did that. Received a REFURBISHED phone. Keep in mind, this all occurred within two weeks, so the phone we exchanged was BRAND NEW, and they sent us a phone taped in a cardboard box. Called T-Mobile, explained the situation, and they said not to even turn on the refurbished and just send it back. Meanwhile, my boyfriend had to reactivate his old phone while the new S7 comes in. It comes in, everything is fine until we get the bill. All this occurred in March. WE ARE STILL PAYING FOR THE FIRST S7, which we returned through UPS and was RECEIVED by the warehouse on 3/31.
T-Mobile tells us that once the device is "officially checked in" it'll fall off the bill and the extra payments will be applied to our current bill. This seems to happen in June... but wait, now our July bill is twice the norm and the phone is still there! Call today and they tell us, "Well, the warehouse can't find the phone, so..." So what?! That's no longer my problem! They tell me to call UPS, who tells me that once it's delivered and SIGNED FOR it's no longer their business, which I agree with.

I am currently a T-Mobile customer. My Samsung Galaxy Note 4 decided to have a fit and completely conk out on me. There was clearly an issue with the firmware, as it wouldn't even boot properly. I decided to order a new phone (Note 5) since it only cost me $69 to do so instead of paying nearly $200 for a refurbished insurance replacement (highway robbery, seeing as how I pay for insurance monthly and never had a claim.) Moving along... Assurant issues me a prepaid shipping label, tracking number, etc. Before I return the phone I did a factory reset as well as disabled my Google account. I made sure it was wiped clean and that my account was no longer connected, as they tell you that anti-theft MUST be disabled before the phone can be considered for reimbursement.
So... TELL ME WHY... I received a text AND an email this morning stating that Anti-theft was not disabled, therefore I would receive a credit of $0.00... Excuse me? I know for a fact I disabled my account and wiped my phone. Fast forward to just a few mins ago: I call T-Mobile to inquire about this. The CSR goes around and around in circles for at least 5 minutes about what needed to be done in order to receive credit - no water damage, etc. I keep explaining to her I already am aware of that, and that my specific problem relates to Anti-Theft. She continues to ask me if I have already shipped my product in, which method I used, and if I had received a response regarding the status of my device... I explain to her - again - that Assurant already received the phone and that T-Mobile themselves sent an email/text about my anti-theft not being disabled.
After placing me on hold for another 10 minutes, she finally tells me that no one has notated anything in the system regarding the status, and to call back in 3 business days. So I take things a little further and I call Assurant Solutions. These people have the nerve to tell me they have no idea what I am talking about, and that I must contact T-Mobile. I said that is IMPOSSIBLE as they are the ones who I returned the phone to. ARE YOU SERIOUS? Assurant Solutions is full of baloney. They are trying to claim I did not follow instructions in order to keep my phone without issuing credit, then they say they have no idea what I am talking about when I speak with them directly. This is nothing short of a scam, and despite my great relationship with T-Mobile, their decision to continue to use Assurant Solutions makes me question both their integrity and business practice.

Well, 10 days later I get a phone bill for $69.08. That's now approximately $15.00 more a month instead of $10.00 for 24 months and when I called to complain come to find out he sold me a new plan.

The callous way in which I have been treated coupled with the flat out inaccuracies I have been told are outstanding. My phone broke in early June and as I had purchased an insurance plan, I was provided a new phone. That phone was a dud and did not work within days.
I immediately notified T-Mobile and was sent another replacement. Unfortunately, there was a death in my immediate family, and though I asked T-Mobile to hold the phone at the store until I could return to the area, they did not. I then ordered another replacement, and after receiving incredibly rude service at the T-Mobile in East Hanover, NJ (which involved almost a two hour wait and included the manager locking the key to the replacement cell phone locker in the locker itself) was told that my phone was sent to a different store? There are even more twists and turns to this tale, but ultimately, despite 4 trips to T-Mobile, all while dealing with one of the darkest times of my life, I still do not have a phone and today was told by the "loyalty" program that they doubted my statements as I had been making calls on my phone (though later in the call was told they could hardly hear me on said phone...). Really shameful behavior.

When my housemate and I purchased a Samsung Galaxy Note 5 and an Edge 6 last August, we were told they came with free upgrades. After reviewing the extensive "not a contract" documentation, I see we purchased the Jump Up! Plan. Now they want us to pay a 75 dollar down payment on the upgrades, and I just received a bill for the Jump Up! Plan. The figures don't make any sense. We are obviously already paying for the Jump Up! Service.

T-Mobile store Jacksonville Florida Normandy Boulevard. I was told I can go in store and exchange my phone for a new phone that was told to me my T-Mobile service. When I got there the manager had a poor attitude and was more interested in hearing himself talk than listen to the customer and kept insisting it was the battery and kept trying to send me to other locations to buy a new battery. It would not acknowledge the other problems with the phone. His attitude was his way or no way.

T-Mobile no good. This company is a total rip after buying a phone that didn't work. Could not get signal to make call. Switching to another carrier they charge a full month service to port over number. They should not allow to do this. I am so upset with T-Mobile. I wish they would go down the drain.

Got the new BlackBerry Priv about 4 months ago. Accidentally dropped it. Called T-Mobile and their so-called insurance company. Said they will give me a Samsung. "We no longer carry BlackBerries." I said "I got BlackBerry from you and that's what I want," they said "We haven't had BlackBerry in 2 years" and I said "You have my account opened in front of you. Why don't you look at when I got the phone," at this point I was upset and I said to Kevin from T-Mobile that "You are in customer service. Find and research what you all are selling before you talk" then spoke to his supervisor David. He didn't seem to bother or have an answer.

T-Mobile is the worst carrier have ever have. February 2016, I upgraded my phone to Samsung Note 4. Initially, I put insurance on my old phone but T-Mobile removed the insurance on my phone without my consent. So, I later called T-Mobile office. "What happened to the insurance on my phone, who removed it?" I was told "I don't know". It baffles me because every they keep sending me huge amount of money since I upgraded my phone. I have talked to different representative but to no avail. They couldn't solve the problem.

I switched from T-Mobile to Verizon on June 9. I was told since I only had the service for a week my bill would not be that high. Once I received my final bill, it was for the full month, even though I did not have service with them for the full month of June. They refused to take off the charges, even after I was told otherwise. They are just trying to scam people out of money, paying for service they never used.

I used T-Mob for years despite everyone telling me my voice sounded muffled on phone. I switched phones, tried to troubleshoot with techs, and still for some reason I sounded muffled. A rep suggested there was a network bug following my number? Who knows. I switched services, despite being satisfied with everything else about T-Mob. AT&T was out of control on overcharging for data and unlocking my phone and I came back to T-Mob. I'm much happier with T-Mob. Totally reasonable prices with unlimited data on all apps. The network isn't always the strongest in my house, but I am happy to have to have just an ok connection from my bedroom in exchange for reliable billing.

1st issue was left non-resolved. Me and the corporate office worked the same schedule and were unable to keep in contact with each other. Was promised S7 Edge upgrade from 2 reps. 1 on phone, 1 in store. Rep. on phone informed me to just pay half of the phone off and I can upgrade. So I paid half the phone off by going into the store, where the rep. in store promised me the same. So the date the S7 Edge was released I went to go pick it up... Unfortunately they told me I owed a balance so I cannot upgrade and cannot get the promotion for the free Gear VR w/ S7 Edge.
Called customer service to see if they can assist me, was on hold for 3 hours (no problem, I understand long queues) but the rep that got me (from Philippines) transferred me back in the queue for another 2 hours. Ultimate complaint, poor customer service, call avoidance by transferring me back into the queue. Would always get rudely interrupted.
Second occurrence: Called T-Mobile to ask for assistance in billing. Was transferred multiple times before getting the retention department, so I kept jumping around. When I got to retention I wanted to do a complaint on Honey ** (Retention), Employee ID # **. Poor customer service, rudely interrupt me, place me on hold without permission. Attempted to refuse me a supervisor. Requesting for call to be listened to a complaint on Joel ** (Honey's Supervisor), Employee ID # **, refused to provide me a resolution, refused to provide me corporate's information.
Resolution: I would like to request the S7 Edge upgrade with the Gear VR free (promotion) if at all possible. Some type of compensation for the poor customer service T-Mobile provides every time I call. I would like to request for T-Mobile to train their agents and staff better to handle escalated situations because they lack empathy for individuals situations or attempt to hire better staffing crew for their customer service because as a paying consumer I would like to receive exceptional CS exp.

So we saw multiple commercial for T-Mobile how they all pay for you to get out of contract with your current carrier. SO we go to T-Mobile, the employ helping us said T-Mobile will pay for you to get out of contract with AT&T which out balance left with them was like $1000 which she told me they, T-Mobile would take care of. Long story short I got the MasterCard from T-Mobile today to pay off my AT&T for half $593.04 and I called and ask what he pen to the remaining balance and they told me it was deny.
So be careful when switching, it is a lie that T-Mobile will pay for you to get out of contract. It just their way of getting you over with them and to top it off, the whole process of getting the money from T-Mobile took 2 and a half months so my bill with AT&T got put into collections. I am writing this to stop anyone else from going through what I went through the last couple of months. Even though AT&T is a little more pricey, well worth it than being lied to and told false information. DON'T LET T-MOBILE TELL YOU THEY WILL PAY FOR YOU TO GET OUT OF CONTRACT!

Through T-Mobile customer care, I agreed to go with Samsung BOGO plan on 28th June 2016. I received confirmation email and also confirmed by TMO representative named Kiran from BD department based in Liberty Lake Washington. Representative instructed me to wait for phone to arrive before applying credit code online. After receiving phone on 7/1, when I entered provided activation code, it displayed as invalid. Escalated issue to T-Mobile's customer care through phone and they admitted their mistake and promised to fix it in couple of hours. After 2 hour, they informed me on their system, date of activation of the devices was 29th June instead of 28th June, which was last date of eligibility of BOGO plan.
Also, I was put into a plan, which is not eligible for Samsung BOGO plan. So in conclusion, I will not get Samsung BOGO offer. They gave me option either to return it or keep using same plan. As accepted by TMO customer care, it was clearly fault of T-Mobile representatives who sold me this plan. He screwed everything - all paper work. As customer, I have done everything that has to be done from my end. I have all proof showing that I brought T-Mobile's line on 28th June with confirmation email.

They promised me that I got Samsung BOGO plan and denied it after I switch to T-Mobile. It is clearly T-Mobile's representative fault as he was incompetent in his job and was not aware of what needs to be done. And T-Mobile knew that very well from first go but instead of resolving it, they were harassing me by transferring my phone from one department to another. As per their records, nothing was issue. Of course, it will because they created it that way intentionally. I have all proof to prove them wrong. This is my first experience with T-Mobile and it was very, very stressful.

The representative told me that I in fact qualified for 8 lines and asked to give a deposit ($200) because it was a lot of lines. I gave the deposit and received the SIM cards (without selecting phones) and called customer service to select the phones (I was advised to do that by the original customer service rep) but to my surprise the NEW representative told me that I was given the wrong information and that I didn't qualify for the 8 lines; I was ok with that.

I started a claim with my bank to get refunded, which my bank got my money back after I shipped all SIM cards back via USPS – I had to pay to return fee.
Randomly I received 2 gift cards for 'overpayment' on the account, something I was confused about since I NEVER had made such payments. Next BIGGER headache came as I'm trying to make sure my account gets cancelled. They will never do that, instead they send my account to collection for owing them money and arguing that I owed them money for service; HOW CAN I HAVE SERVICE WITH NO PHONES?!!! I called one last time, praying that I would get someone to help me.

Needless to say, I absolutely hate T-Mobile and their horrible 'CPO's. I have had refurbished electronics before and CLEARLY there's a HUGE difference.

I am writing this review because I cannot believe what companies can get away with. I have been with T-Mobile for a little over a year. When I started my service with them, it was a single line with unlimited data. I bought an iPhone 6 through them and they add a monthly payment to slowly pay for the phone. The phone retailed at $749.91 and I paid $248.01 upfront to minimize my monthly bill. Even with a pretty big chunk taken off upfront, my bill was still $120 a month. When I decided I wanted to switch service because it was way too expensive, I went into T-Mobile to see what I had left to pay on my phone. I was told there was $167 left on the balance and I had to pay that off before I cancelled service. I asked if I would be charged for anything when cancelling and they said no and whatever month I was in, the bill would be prorated.
I paid off the remaining balance on my phone in the store (the end of May). Before I cancelled, I logged into my T-Mobile online to make sure my payment was accounted for and it was. My account said "no payments are due". I joined Cricket on the 10th of June after they unlocked my phone. After that, I tried to login to my T-Mobile and my account was not recognized. Since I had switched my number over, it would not let me access my account. It is now the 30th of June and I just received a charge on my account for $237. I called T-Mobile customer service for an explanation and the rep told me that I was being charged the EIP on my phone (which I had already paid in person) and the last bill for June. Since I didn't cancel before the 1st, they charged me for an entire month of service. The rep told me that when I paid what I thought was the payment for my phone, it went towards my bill instead and NOW I was paying what was left on my phone.
If you are going to be charged a ridiculous amount like this, I believe you should still be able to login to your account and see. The fact that they do not communicate this to you until you are already being charged is insane. T-Mobile service was definitely better than Cricket, but they try to get you for everything you are worth. Ask a lot of questions and double check before you think you are set.

I'm not one to write reviews on places. Never really seen the need to. And I know this is pointless but to save someone the money, time and headache I'm going to voice my horrible nightmare experience. We switched from Sprint (let me be clear) for no other reason than they claimed they could give me the same plans and save me money. Had nothing to do with Sprint service or customer service because they were great in both which shouldn't have left in the first place. We went to the Loganville store and the guy fed us these bogus numbers for unlimited plan and said that if we turn our current phones in we would get free phones and accessories. Hahaha no. That was lie number 2. They would also pay off what we owed Sprint $650 per line. Lie number 3!!! Lie number 1 of course was how much we'd be paying. Said there was no activation fees, no surprise crazy first bills, etc. That was the 4th.
So we lo and behold my husband and I thought this was just awesome!! So we get his sister to leave Sprint. They were paying hers off too and our bill was only going to be 220 with taxes which came out to be a few dollars more but with 3 people at unlimited it wasn't bad at all. We were paying unlimited for 3 lines with Sprint at 214 per month. (T-Mobile accused me and my husband of lying about that btw. Said no other provider was unlimited like them.) hahahaha right. So when it came down to the pay off of Sprint, we got a total of 500 and some change I think....for the lines combined. Wait what happened to the 650 per line?? I turned in my phones and pay monthly on them so why did you take Sprint phones if you're not paying the bill??? They claimed that because they gave me store credit it took 1200 away from that credit. HOLD UP. At no point in time was that explained or mentioned to me.
They had me get 3 phones and screen protectors and cases through the store so they would get their credit for the sales. Then say I'm responsible for the remainder of my final bill with Sprint. We talked to all kinds of people. My husband called and couldn't explain to me how that happen so I called, then the guy was like "this was already explained to you. Was it not??" Okay sir you're rude and I'll call all I want and have it reexplained all I want. You get paid to help the customer which again clearly this company has no value in their new customers. Our bill was outrageous and with the people and the constant awful customer service I had it. I think we had them two months. I called Sprint back and paid what I owed them...Begged them to take me back (lol) and they were very nice and understanding of course because they have always been great with us!!!
They were going to not only waive the activation fees, they got us a good deal. We didn't get the same deal we had before but I didn't care paying more and knowing that I'm being valued and taken care of. I waited over a month to receive my final bill from T-Mobile. I called 3 times to get it and they never sent it. One day I got 3 letters in the mail from T-Mobile stating that if I turned all my devices back to the store I would not have to pay for them even after I called their customer service department and asked how much it would cost to leave them. And according to them I had to pay off all the phones. ANYWAY. So I did that. They had me turn in 3 brand new iPhone 6s + to the Loganville store on the 9th of May!! Then had the audacity to put 17000 in collections saying I never did it. Got the bill yesterday. Luckily I have the return device receipts. But they said if they can't find them I have to go to the store.
The only thing I owed was my last month's prorated bill which again was never sent to me after the lady told me to wait until it came in and they would have it fixed. So now I have this bill in collections. I called then the bill collector said I didn't fulfill my terms and agreements. And that they would settle for 1100 hahahaha um no. T-Mobile failed to do their job by following their policies and procedures clearly or they would have acknowledged all device returns and sent me the bill prorated like they should have so I could have paid it. The guy was like they didn't do that because you failed to pay your bill. I was like...Had they SENT me a freaking bill to pay that was updated I would SIR. We just argued back and forth.
Finally I told him I wasn't paying it because I didn't owe it and I had proof. I told him I'm bit arguing with you because you clearly have no idea what you're talking about and I hung up. Called T-Mobile and they tried to tell me I didn't return the phones. I said "well luckily for me I have the proof that I did." Sooooo you need to figure out where those three devices are because I have receipts with times and dates, employee ID numbers and location where I turned them in. He said he would send an email to investigate it. I said "I don't understand how you guys can put my bill in collections when I did everything you asked me to." He said because they never were confirmed that they received them.
I said "OK well again I have three letters proving that I did, so when you find these phones you will take this off collections, correct? Because I'm not paying my last bill until it's done." He agreed and said that I could pay my last bill to them directly and the last bill would be taken off. He also said that once they confirmed my phones were turned in it would be immediately take it out of collections for the phones leaving me with just my last bill and collections (which shouldn't be there anyway) but okay whatever it will get paid. He said I have to wait until Friday of this week so we will see.
I put this review on their FB page yesterday got a response. Apparently they couldn't see anything because it's in collections. The lady said she saw where I turned the phones in but didn't understand why it was never processed from the store. I asked her "why is this on my credit if you see where they sent it?" She basically said she didn't know and told me the only way for me to be helped by them is if I file a dispute with the creditor. I tried that 3 times and these people wouldn't do it. T-Mobile said they had to, that it was my right to do so. One lady laughed at me when I told her I wasn't trying to argue with her. I just wanted to do what T-Mobile said for me to do. I told her that T-Mobile said they could fix this when they filed the dispute and the lady questioned me how they were going to help me. I don't know what they are going to do. She thought it was funny.
This is a nightmare. I had to get my mom on the phone. We told them we're also recording them. They refused to talk to us. I guess because they don't want to be caught being mean and hateful. Anyway my mom got nowhere with them so we are sending a certified letter stating I want to dispute it . Do NOT go to this company EVER!!! They will scam you and try to take your money! Yes I have all documents sent from T-Mobile stating they would charge me if I didn't return devices. I also told T-Mobile if they would just send me the bill for my month I would pay that which I had no intentions not doing so. The bill they sent me was for the 16th of May. They billed me for 1600 that was with the phones still on there. Then on the 19th it was sent into collections without being updated. Mind you the store has had them since the 9th. They were due by the 22nd due to their "jump" program or I would have to pay for them.

That was my first red flag. One day I tried again to get into my account and it let me get into the billing part of the website. Still no usage viewing, still a message that the system was down... Check back while in the website. I paid my bill before the due date. Well this morning I tried to get online and could not. Its June 29th... My bill was due the 25th. I've paid early. So no access to the internet... so I called T-Mobile. They informed me that I had gone over my usage. WTF? I thought HTTN HELL TO THE NO! They tried to tell me that I had used it streaming. I don't stream... Then its this and that... One of their loyalty people hung up on me when they suggested that I upgrade!!! REALLY the answer is to pay more... and NOT GET WHAT I PAID FOR.

My girlfriend and I switch to T-Mobile and we're supposed to get reimbursed to pay our other wireless company. They didn't honor the agreement. Waited over 2 months and finally my girlfriend gets her reimbursement for 97.88 instead of the 550 she was to get and I did not qualify. How can that be when we are suppose to get reimbursed for switching. They gave us a BS excuse and now we have to pay a combined total of over 1,000 dollars. The worst part there is nothing we can do. It's a shame that this is being done to hard working consumer. T-Mobile deserves negative 10 stars for unethical treatment.

I've been a long time customer with T-Mobile. But for the couple of months they've showed me the ugly side of them. It started in August 2015 when they were advertising the 2 for 100$ joint plan. I put my mother on my line because it was suppose to be 2 lines for 100$ a month. Come to find out that was not the case, my bill came out to be way more like almost 200$. So I ended up taking her off of my line in October. T-Mobile was giving me trouble with that, mind you it's suppose to be no contract. Then on top of that once I took her off they kept charging me for her line.
When I finally got that straighten out in December of 2015, a T-Mobile rep talked me into doing the Jump Plan & getting the Galaxy s6 edge. Talked about all its good qualities and how I don't have to pay nothing, so I got it the end of January 2016. When I did the phone started acting up automatically. I went on vacation that month and couldn't get service so I was using my wifi calling, mind you wifi is free! I get back to my home and I see my February bill is about 300$ so I called in & they said they were charging me for out of state calls. I explained to them I was using my wifi. Mind you I have the unlimited everything plan so I shouldn't get charged whether I'm using Wi-Fi or my data. So I got that cleared up.
Then around March the phone started to give me a lot of trouble. I wasn't getting my calls or messages, my apps wasn't working, I would have no connection for hours. So that whole month I was calling T-Mobile and they telling me to refresh my connection & restart the phone and delete some stuff and all types of things. None of it worked so one of the reps finally told me to do a warranty exchange because I am paying insurance on it.
I did the exchange in April of 2016. Mind you I didn't have the phone for a whole 3 months and if it was suppose to be "New" why was it having malfunctions. So anyway I did the exchange and come to find out this same phone was acting the same way not letting me get calls, apps not working, my emails wouldn't go through. So I started calling them again and they telling me the same thing restart my phone, delete some things. And at this point I'm getting pissed because I've been having so much trouble with them, I know they gave me a refurbished phone because there were so many technical difficulties.
Then in June I get a bill saying that I owe them 400$ plus my monthly bill of 135.0. when I called in again to see if this was a mistake, they told me that the phone was damaged & that I must pay for it. I'm asking them how can that be when I sent the phone back in perfect condition, I didn't even have it for long. Nevertheless they said I damaged it & I must pay... Mind you THAT'S THE REASON I SENT IT BACK... It was not working from jump.
Now I'ma do everything in my power to get this off my bill because this is not right and I been a Customer for over 8 years, they was my first phone company. For them to be treating me this way for some money is disgusting. I can't wait til I'm finally done with all of this. When I read other complaints about this phone specifically they all had some of the same experiences as me which is why I decided to write as well. T-Mobile is giving people defective phones and trying to make their loyal customers pay for it.

Got new one, returned old one. Fast forward until today June 26 2016 got a text that I owed them $625... When I called to find out what was going on they said because of water damage. There was no water damage. The customer rep told me he could help me by taking off $275... Spoke to the supervisor which I got his name. Told me the sticker is missing and it can only come off with water contact. Told him there has never been any water damage. Have his people pull it apart and check it. Then it went from being water damage to it could have gotten moisture in the back of the phone. Without physically checking the device I was charged for a water damaged device all so they can meet their profit margin. Now tell me if that is not CRIMINAL...

I had a T-Mobile business sales rep from Central West End, St. Louis come into my place of business. Her name was Tatiyana and she was with another flaky salesperson named Scott out of Oklahoma. Anyways, they sold me on switching my phones from Sprint over to T-Mobile (Sounded all great at first until afterwards when trying to get my Sprint bill paid, etc). Both of these salespeople should be reprimanded, unless Tmobile tells them to sell to people the way they do.
They told me that my whole Sprint bill would get paid off... THAT WAS FALSE (They only pay a portion of the bill). They told me that I would get reimbursed for my previous phones and get that reimbursement separate from them paying my Sprint bill. THAT WAS FALSE (They take the refund money from your old phones and apply it to your TMobile bill). It also takes 8 weeks to get any reimbursement, so your old phone bill goes into collections. Totally false and flaky. I wish I would have just stayed where I was and told them to leave my store.

I have been with the T-Mobile family plan just a little over a year now. I left major carrier to save money. At first they were good as in flexible with payment arrangements. Anyhow since this new year 2016 I have had nothing but problems with T-Mobile. Their so called Jump Program is BOGUS ORDEAL!! My local T-Mobile store always has new trainees that do not know how to properly apply payments, and I am stuck with having to pay for an overly priced smartphone device (JUMP-UPGRADE) within a short period of 30-60 days!!
This is absurd that they do not document, monitor calls for extreme customer satisfaction. I have a password on my account, and I have lost count on the numerous times I have called, made changes to my account and discussed sensitive financial matters without being asked for my password. Also, I have spoken with upper management in FL, contacted resolution specialist. ALL same conclusion, poor to no documentation.
Await return calls, do not receive them, phone gets disconnected due to lack of documentation. I get charged for RECONNECT FEE of 4 lines. NOT MY FAULT!! I have had it with T-MOBILE and their NONSENSE, the customer is always right, and their policy and procedures on handling issues is far from satisfactory!! Please if you can afford the big dawgs, stay with bigger, better company MORE REPUTABLE. Their invoice billing department has been exposed before on the NEWS MEDIA STILL they take no responsibility for billing errors as if they are PERFECT!!

My credit is not that great so I couldn't afford a new phone when mine broke. So my daughter in another state decided to get me a phone on her T-Mobile account and transfer my family plan which was my daughter in Galveston, TX and me to her account to my daughter in OKC on my account. Had a lease phone and it was never explained to me that if I move from one T-Mobile account to another I had to pay off my daughters' phone. Plus on top of that pay a lease agreement account to transfer. "NEVER EXPLAINED" here in Galveston, TX or in OKC. In fact the rep there in OKC told me I would be getting a final bill from my plan for 232.00 to pay off my daughters' phone in Galveston, TX.
So I received a statement for $387.83 called T-Mobile today and it's a fact I pay up or get cancelled can afford to pay off phone but not agreement which was misrepresented by 2 T-Mobile employees. Hope everyone reads their agreements from now on word per word while you're still tired of waiting in line for more than an hour. If they would have explained while they're talking and pointing where to sign I would have not agreed and done without a phone. I think they are just adding up in their heads their commission. That's what a "JUMP ON DEMAND AGREEMENT" is you're paying for an account not a 1-year agreement but a 2-year agreement to stay with T-Mobile.

In December 2015, we bought a brand new Samsung edge 6 plus from T-Mobile online. It was paid in full at time of purchase. In April 2016, right after a software update had been made, the device started acting up. I called into T-Mobile to try and see what could be done or what they thought might be going on with it. During the call with the T-Mobile tech support, the phone (edge 6 plus) was completely dead. I had to PLUG IT IN to charge so we could try a few troubleshooting techniques. The tech. knew the phone was dead and charging, as she had to wait a few moments for the phone to be charged and restarted. Once the phone was charged and on, the screen was unresponsive, the home and back buttons were constantly flashing, I was not able to manually enter the phone, so, she suggested factory reset.
I did a factory reset at least two times, the phone was still unresponsive and I was still not able to manually access the phone. At this point, she told me, due to the fact it was an issue related to the software update, I could send it in for an exchange. So, she processed the order and shipped us a new phone. The new phone arrived a day later, and after a few days, the old phone was sent out via UPS. One person at the T-Mobile store had checked out the phone before I sent it back to T-Mobile, but since new phone was already sent, I didn't have her check it on the machine, I just wanted an opinion on what she thought it may be. So, since she didn't hook it up to the machine, she wasn't able to log a reference number saying she checked out the phone.
By the way people, don't send your devices through the mail, it's too easy for them to lie and try to rip you off. Go to the store, let them inspect the device, package it and send it off. Make sure you get confirmation there's nothing wrong with the device before you go. T-Mobile, you should instruct your customers to go to the store if possible, it's probably safer and less of a headache in the long run for us.
A month or so later, we checked our T-Mobile bill online and saw a very high payment was due. We called in to inquire why the bill was so high. I thought possibly they had misplaced the phone or hadn't received it, as misplacing the phone and improper documentation had been an issue with them before in a previous order exchange. But, it was not the case this time, I was told the phone had damage to it. Immediately I told them this couldn't be the issue, as I inspected and cleaned the phone before placing it in the box for shipment. I took photos of the phone just in case something like this were to happen. But, I'm told by T-Mobile, my photos are irrelevant, my words, and my photos mean nothing. I've been called a liar by this company, what self-respecting business just shuts you out and doesn't give you the opportunity to prove yourself, or at least prove themselves.
The phone was in perfect physical shape when sending it out. I'm not sure whose phone it is in the photo they emailed us, but I can tell you with 100% certainty, that is not my phone. They sent a very poor quality picture with an IMEI number attached to it (not an actual photo of the phone and its IMEI). The charger port area looks as though it had caught on fire, and as if someone had jammed something into the port and mangled it up. Also, I would love to know, what did your machine found out about the software issue when you plugged it in to get your diagnosis.
In the span of 4 months, they want to tell me I have such extensive charger port damage. With damage that looks so awful, it would be impossible for me to charge a completely dead phone, turn it on and factory reset it a few times. The whole reason we called T-Mobile tech support was for a malfunctioning phone, not because we couldn't charge it. Now I am irritated and strung out over a problem that should not even be an issue. They tell me the only solution is to pay the deductible. I ask you, why should I pay for something that was not my fault, why will I pay for the mistakes of their negligent employees, poor handling of devices and information? I don't understand how they think this is even an option. How do they know it isn't their employees that cause some of the issues we the customers are blamed for.
I've called in several times, went to the store, no one cares, they just keep repeating the same thing over and over, "This is your option, to pay the deductible." They took one close up, poor quality photo of a phone and expect me to just agree that is my device, one photo, that's all I get, and I am expected to pay up. There is no way this is my phone, the singed looking marks around the port are not there in my photos, they were not there when I cleaned and inspected the device before packaging it. This phone looks very mistreated. They are attempting to have me pay $400.00 or $175.00 for a phone that was in perfect physical condition when I sent it in. They want me to pay on the premise that one bad photo is evidence enough. I asked for them to locate the phone and inspect it, or send it back to us. I was told it is in a warehouse somewhere as if they have no clue where they send their items.
You can't track my phone, but you expect me to believe this photo is valid? I was then told it was at the Samsung warehouse, as they are the ones it got shipped to for inspection. Also, I was told, that this issue wasn't T-Mobile's problem and I would have to deal with Samsung. So, I called Samsung, and they told me this is not their photos RA# (how they keep track of their devices). Samsung had no way of finding the device they say was sent to them. Samsung also informed me that if there would have been something wrong with the phone, they would have called us or emailed us to let us know. Now, I tell the lady at T-Mobile that Samsung said they are not responsible for this issue, and that since I bought the phone from T-Mobile, it was them I would have to deal with.
So, again, I am back to arguing with T-Mobile, and by this point, I am 100% sure they don't have a clue of what their processes are or where they send items or how a company should be run. It's ridiculous that no one knows anything about my phone, or where it went, or where it is, but, they do know I should pay them money. If the charger port would have been the issue, I could have purchased a new charger port for around $15.00 and had it installed. Or, I could have sold the phone myself, and bought a new one, it was already paid off. I purchased the phone for almost $800.00 in full, 4 months later the software freaks out and now I am in the middle of T-Mobile's ridiculous accusations. Not only did they get my $800.00, the old phone that can easily be fixed, and want me to pay them up to $400.00!!! What? Really, do we have no security to safeguard ourselves from the greed of companies?
I was told they cannot take this out of warranty claim off my account. They do have the power to do whatever they want, they could remove the charge they put against me, or they could just credit the account. But apparently, out of warranty claims are written in stone, and no one can take down this monster. Within the past 2 years, We've bought 4 brand new phones, 1 iPhone 6, 1 iPhone 5s, 1 Samsung Galaxy 5, 1 Samsung edge 6 plus. We've paid almost $3,000 for phones, and you want to argue with me about this garbage. We were thinking to upgrade to new phones right before this incident, but now, I'm really not wanting to go through something stupid like this again.
T-Mobile, this is no way to treat people who have been your customers for almost 7 years now. You waste money on this thank you Tuesday app., you're giving away ice cream and vouchers, giving away free stock, and yet, you don't value the importance of your customer's word or peace of mind. Free pizza doesn't keep customers, valuing their word and not making them jump through hoops to prove their innocence is what matters. If you can't prove more to me on your end, or prove that the device wasn't how I say when I sent it, don't tell me I'm a liar.
I know companies try to lie and hide their mistakes, I've had it happen with Walmart's service department. They scratched up the front end of our car, said they would look at the tapes, called us a few days later and said from what they watched, nothing happened, that we must have hit the car or been hit at some point without knowing. I told them I wanted to see the tapes because another car I had taken in to them was also scratched after visiting their shop. But, at that time, I took their word for it, this time, I want proof. They told me, "We couldn't see the tapes, that we would have to file a report to the police get an order to see it," I was fine with doing just that. They said the tape had been viewed by their insurance, and they saw nothing, I told them I wanted the insurance's number to contact them.
When I called the insurance company, she said she hadn't even received the tape yet. But, in a few days, after viewing the tape, she accepted our auto repair estimate and sent us our money. I know first hand that big companies will lie to rip you off. And just recently, someone sold me a car with 100,000 miles rolled back on the odometer, the car dealer tried telling me I rolled back the odometer. Guess what's happening now - we're in court.
If we need to go to court, so be it, I will not be called a liar, you will not try to steal my money. A solution needs to be made soon, I'm tired of dealing with this ignorant time waste you have caused. And one of your supervisors, Seth #** is an awful person to be handling calls.

I am not one to complain or leave horrible reviews; however I feel as though I have to share with over 5million people who have liked this page, my personal experience with T-Mobile. The end of November 2015, my Samsung Galaxy S6 was giving me many issues. So I called my trusted cellular phone provider to inquire about a new device. Keep in mind I pay $10 per month for insurance which completely slipped my mind. It was T-Mobile's job at that point to make me aware that I should contact my insurance. Instead, they told me that they would ship me out a replacement device and I was to send my defective device back to them. I received the device the end of November, beginning of December. I apparently had 60 days to return my defective device.
Now during December I was busy packing up my apartment, pulling as much overtime as possible and getting prepared to move with no help. I am a single mom, I had a lot going on in my life. I moved to my new place in January. During my move, I packed up my defective device (so I thought) but to this day, I have yet to find it. In February, I contact T-Mobile to inform them that I could not find the phone which I was supposed to send back to them. I was 30 days too late. You think they would cut me a break? I could have just said I lost my phone, contacted my insurance and received a replacement device for $100. Instead, T-Mobile charges me $800 for a new device and puts me on an extended payment plan not informing me of the ramifications of this extended payment plan. THEY SCREWED ME, in other words.
I have contacted T-Mobile and have gotten the runaround from reps, and supervisors. From February until now, I have dished out over $2,000 to T-Mobile and apparently I still owe around $400 on this extended payment plan. I would love to know where my money has been going. Every time I call I get told a different song and dance. The customer service that I have received is by far the worst I have ever experienced and I have been in customer service for over 10 years. I strongly advise anyone and EVERYONE who ever considers becoming a customer of T-Mobile to strongly reconsider. If you have had a negative experience, please copy and paste my story to EVERYONE you know. I plan on sharing my experience on every social media network imaginable. I am a good customer and if they can treat me this poorly, I can only imagine how they treat everyone else.

It's just a matter of days that I switch to another provider.

I was told by a T-Mobile agent that T-Mobile would pay our cancellation fees with Verizon but they did not say that part of the buy-out program for one of my phones will to my bill. Verizon charged me $513 for the phone I was getting financed after I moved with T-mobile. When I traded in my phone T-mobile gave $180 for the phone from Verizon. When submitted the paperwork to claim cancellation fees T-mobile only gave me $333 instead of the whole $513. T-mobile said the other part which is $180 went to my bill. They ripped me off with $180 dollars.

T-Mobile keeps sneaking in unnecessary charges, and we often get inconsistent information from reps. Unlike our old carrier, the customer service is usually agreeable and professional, BUT: We originally switched to this line last year because of a great plan deal at the time, and the promise of reimbursing us the full cost of cancelling service with our initial carrier. Eventually, apparently the T-Mobile store had conveniently forgotten about our reimbursement. We had to press them multiple times for them to even begin the processing. This was forgiven, but the next year we noticed that T-Mobile "mistakenly" had added insurance on 2 of our phones at one point, without any notice at the time. Customer service apologized and promised to cancel the insurance and credit us next month. This "credit" was not even the full amount that we should have received, albeit small!
The month after that, extra "ghost" charges for those 2 lines continued to apply. Having been informed about this, a Mr. over the phone told us that it was in order to "balance out" the mistakes made in the bill crediting from last time. I was so confused by his explanation that I had to call again and talk to another rep. I don't blame her, but I still couldn't get a concrete explanation or justification from the Ms. until I asked her to tell us exactly by how much the bill would be adjusted. She eventually just fixed everything. Make sure to be thorough! We were also charged ~$30 for a call from US to Canada, even though the salesman in the store had told us that such calls would be free. We called customer service, and the Mr. on the line was either mistaken or lied to us - that calls to Canada & Mexico are simply no longer free for us.
Though he kindly lifted the charge, he then tried to sell us the option of adding those countries for $10/month, although Ms. (in our 2nd call) verified that they ARE free. Not sure if this counts as a "scam" depending on his motive. FINALLY, I purchased a phone for a friend online, which was not meant to be part of my family's plan. I did absolutely nothing to indicate so. The friend was paying for their service independently, but somehow their charges were appearing in my bill as well! I called; T-Mobile apologized and corrected this. Even with the benefit of the doubt, given the sheer amount of these "mistakes", I would still label these incidences as negligence and a waste of my time.

I did call again "What's going on now? The phone still I didn't get?" The customer say "The first old phone charger is damage so you have to pay $400." I said "No my phone charger is worked, is not damage. My phone had problems overhitting, even the charger damage I have insurance should be cover." He said "Insurance is not cover charger problem." I said "Ok I can't pay charger problem $400. Please return my phone." They said "No we are not return just pay $400."

I was told as long before my billing cycle which is every 5 of the month I don't have to pay my service because I already paid my service 1 month in advance, except my phone balance. But if I switch after my billing cycle I have to pay my service plus the phone balance. So ask them I going to switch because of your signal is sucks. Since I have 6 line on my account, I only fort 4 because we only need 4 instead 6.
Guess what, they never shut those lines & March 15, 2016 I got a bill from T-Mobile that seeing I owe them $412.50. So I called them why & how I got this high balance. As far as I know I only owe you guys on my phone balance 'cause we made monthly payment which about $172.25... but the CSR on the other line are telling me that the reason why I got my bills so high because I did not fort the other 2 lines. & I said it doesn't make sense to me 'cause when I speak your CSR 2 weeks before I switch, they didn't 'til that & my knowledge once you switch to another cellphone provider.

I switched 4 lines from Verizon because T-Mobile was offering unlimited data, and would cut my bill in half. I was told I would receive a Visa card for the amount I owed still on the 4 iPhones I turned in (for the exact same iPhones). The store personnel said to set the phones up through my business, as they could give me a better price, so I did. The Visa card NEVER came, because as a business, I get a "credit" on my bill (not what I was told). And to make it really worse, they only credited 1/2 the amount I owed on the phones. So, it cost me $2800.00 upfront to switch. And the coverage sucks compared to Verizon.

Rural areas where no T-Mobile towers, customer has 50mb of data coverage before extra charges incur. Before moving service to another provider, called T-Mobile and paid final equipment charge of $103 on 31st of month. Monthly service ended on 2nd of month. CSR informed that on 3/31 that I had a $108.93 credit balance on account. Switched service on two lines on 4/4 (that's two days of phone service only with no equipment charges owed). T-Mobile sends me a bill for $116.52 for three days of phone service for 2 lines. That's after they applied a credit for $109?? Bunch of stuff - don't go with this company. Their coverage stinks and what they charged me for three days of service for two lines is totally ridiculous. Beware.

I have called 6 times to T-Mobile about getting a bill that is $100 extra from my regular payment. Called and was told that since I made an equipment payment for that amount I was now being billed on my account to make up the difference in payment. I did not make an equipment payment. I paid my regular amount but it got misposted by T-Mobile. Lots of apologies but NO action nor solution so I escalated the call, spoke to a "manager" called Adam ** who said it was adjusted on my account and should see a zero balance in 2-4 hours which I did, yet the next day there was the $100 charge back on the account. This is now 4 days later and I'm getting text messages telling me that unless I pay the $100 my account will be disconnected!
I call T-Mobile, speak with Crystal who says, "Nothing to be done. It will take 30 days." So I escalate to a "manager" Tashima who then said 2-3 weeks and could not guarantee service would be shut off, said there was nothing to be done unless I paid the $100, and was very condescending and rude. Asked for the texts to stop and she said, "They're automated. Can't do anything." Really? That is not true. I will be contacting the FCC and anyone else about this, and will be looking for another carrier that has customer service as Tashima embodies everything that's wrong with customer service.

Moved 2 lines to a 2nd account and asked for the 1st account to be closed and the bills to be moved to the 2nd account. They said okay but did not close it, & continued to bill the account. Since the account was suppose to be closed, I did not pay and it was sent to collection even though multiple calls were made and supposedly fixed. The remaining lines that were suppose to be canceled, were a tablet and an unused cell. I did use the tablet on wifi but it also pulled from T-Mobile signal so they are claiming the bill is valid.

I beg everyone to never switch to this carrier. I thought AT&T was bad, sadly mistaken. Military, don't switch to this carrier. They make it extremely difficult to get the measly 15% discount.

I have had T-mobile for years, and it has not been until recently that I have had so many problems with them. First, my phone bill is on automatic bill pay, so I typically do not pay attention to how much I am paying. (Since, it should be the same amount every month). Well I was wrong. Last month I downgraded my data plan because I was paying more than anyone should pay for a single line of service. Of course my plan was downgraded but my billing detail still showed that I would be paying the same amount. So I turned bill pay off and went through the billing detail and paid what I was supposed to. After a couple of days my phone slowly stopped working and eventually said "No Service". I call to see what the issue might be and the representative tells me they suspended my service because I still owe $30 for a restoration fee.
My phone had never been suspended prior to this because I had automatic bill pay. So instead of explaining where these fees are coming from the Rep kept telling me. "Ma'am once we get the credit card number we can restore your line". After talking to several people, none of whom could help me. The very last person I spoke with told me in detail how much my bill should be. I tell her that's the exact amount that I paid so they need to turn my service back on because that was a mistake on their part. She then tells me once I pay that restoration fee that they supposedly took care of, my service will be turn on.
So T-Mobile makes a mistake with this charge and because I refuse to dish out money for something I should not be paying for, they cut off my service. They refuse to turn my service back on, acknowledge the mistake they have made and also denied my refund. So after years and years with T-Mobile. I canceled my line because this company does not care about their customers whatsoever. I would not recommend that anyone get service with them. It will only be a matter of time before there is an issue and better believe they will not be helpful.

I switched to T-Mobile from Sprint. T-Mobile was supposed to payoff my Sprint bill for switching. The girl told me to bring my final bill because the website was too confusing for the reimbursement. Did that and tried multiple times to get status updates and kept being told it was being processed. The customer service line even told me it was being processed. Needless to say it never was processed and my 60 day window closed so I ended paying my final bill to Sprint and immediately switched carriers again. Also I was quoted a lot less for my monthly bill and was actually paying more to T-Mobile than Sprint. That was the main reason I wanted to switch. Never again will I use T-Mobile.

Put approx. $180 on a V10 LG smart phone from a Spokane, Washington T-Mobile Store. Right away I videotaped a train from the engine to the caboose going by me so I could share this with my grandchildren who are small and love these types of things. It never recorded it!?? I also purchased this phone to coordinate between 3 way calls, drop one off the call to get another on the 3 way call, and also be able to drop a specific caller off of the phone as needed. This feature was a hit and miss option since the phone was a bad or corrupted phone. I complained over the next few weeks and all I was doing was giving them free troubleshooting on a bad piece of equipment and was also training the idiot on the other end of the phone from T-Mobile customer service. Next call after a few more weeks they mailed another V10 LG to replace the one I had.
I never sent the first one back right away so to make sure the replacement worked, and it too was a bad piece of you know what. I called again and again another free troubleshoot was given by me for another rookie at T-Mobile customer service. These idiot are abound!!! The T-Mobile store closest to me is 50 miles from where I live. I had to go there 5 times to try to iron out this LG (stands for low geared by the way) V10 phone and I still am having issues. 3 weeks ago I go into the store and start raising my voice so the store could hear me. I said I wanted my complete down payment returned to me and they said they would go to management to see if I could get my down payment back.
However, when I spoke to a T-Mobile rep and told my story for the umpteenth time she said that she would credit back my payments that I had made toward that piece of you know what they sold me. And still my account has not been credited for those payments. I then called last Friday to talk to the manager of the store and he said he would look into my issue and get back with me by this past Monday. Here is it Thursday evening after calling them today and finding out the manager was busy with another customer who was supposed to follow up on my call tonight and did not.

The second time at the recommendation of the representative. Checking the billing, I get charged $10 per month even when it's suspended. When using it, I get charged $10 a month and more tax. So I chose to cancel the line. After talking to the representative, she said it would be effective as of this day, June 2, 2016. Next the representative warned me if I were to phone to ask any questions about my account. A call to ask about anything my account, not just that number being cancelled, it can delay this procedure 8 more days. Checking online does not trigger this delay, just a phone call to discuss anything on my account. I thought it odd and told her that was not a "user friendly" policy and procedure.
I said "You don't mind taking our money but make it hard to stop the service of a line." We have three active lines. We continued talking for a short while and I asked if my objection and displeasure was noted in my record. She yes it's recorded that I was not pleased a call can trigger an 8 day additional delay. Wanting to know if she wrote accurately what I complained about, I asked her to read it back to which she replied she is they not allowed to do that. Privacy? Anyway, I told her I have no idea if she represented me and was not at all happy with T-Mobile doing this. This is my first posting on this website and I'll see if there is any way this can also be posted on T-Mobile's site.

They told me I would be able to pay it off online. When I tried to do that I discovered we were leasing the phone only and would have to pay an additional $200 to buy it.
Angela from their Tennessee call center admitted it was a known issue which has resulted in some locations not being able to 'do it anymore' (whatever that means). She insisted they couldn't do anything and we would have to return where we started the service which is hours away from where we live.

I bought a smartphone and "Simple Choice" plan a month before going to Japan, where the plan would allow me texting and internet browsing. Everything worked in the US, but in Japan nothing did. I called customer service and got nowhere with the six or seven folks I spoke to. Beyond the few simple steps they ran me through using their handy-dandy troubleshoot guide, they could do nothing for me or find anyone who could. They apparently inhabit a dark, locked room with no access to anyone who actually knew anything about their company technology. After maybe a week, i.e. 10 calls to them, somebody asked if a red dot appeared at the top of my home screen. One did. "That means you have a defective sim card," he explained. The diagnosis took 2 seconds. But how to fix it? The right card is not easily found (if at all) in Japan, and they wouldn't send me a replacement.
I was simply stuck with a useless phone. "Just end my service, then, until I get back," I said (6 weeks or so) but they wouldn't! They had sold me a defective phone, couldn't/wouldn't send the replacement part to me, and told me there was no way to stop me from being billed for it. Like I said, a dark room with no access who can get anything done. After more angry calls (I never yell or even show anger, but I was definitely steamed at these people), I found someone who quickly overturned what several previous reps had told me, and yes, they managed to cut off my service temporarily. I would get a new sim card free of charge when I returned to the US. There was no expiration date on that offer. The code to this? I get back to the US, call T-Mobile checking to make sure I'd get the free sim card, and am told I just need to go to any store, the info is in the "notes".
So I go to a store, and naturally they can't find any "notes" about this and a new sim card will be $65.00. Before I totally blow up, the manager says I can have one free. The clerk acts like I should be showing gratitude for this incredible generosity. Dealing with T-Mobile customer service is like playing pool on a table without pockets. This is my first review.

My bill went from $48 to $155 in one month, and when I asked why it was so different they said that when I switched to the employee plan they had to adjust the billing cycle and they assured me it would go back to normal next month. That was three months ago and the bill has been $70 then $130 and now this month $97. What is the deal? Why is this so hard?

My husband's phone wasn't working last month 4/2016, so we went to the closest store and they put an insurance claim in because they thought it was the device. A new phone came in the mail and my husband mailed his old phone back. After charging the new phone completely it still wasn't working. We had no idea what the issue was so I said "call customer service. They always are better than the stores." He calls from my phone to find out the entire time his s card was deactivated and boom his phone get signal again and he is able to use it. We took the apology and moved on even though it wasn't our fault or his phone's fault.
But now they are charging us for damage to his old phone that he was forced to send in because they, people at the T-Mobile, didn't see his sim was deactivated. So now they want us to come out of pocket for a mistake they originally made. Let me break it down because customer service clearly didn't understand... If his sim was never deactivated for whatever reason they deactivated it, he would have never sent in his old phone like he was told to do by T-MOBILE only for them to find the small mistake and fix it in seconds and now try to extort money for there mistake. Oh and it gets worse. Right after that this month 5/2016 they double charge our account and send a text alert to my husband only (while he is out to sea) so when he gets back he sees "your account has been double charged call 611 to get a refund."
WHAT? You took money from us that wasn't yours and we have to call you to get it back??? WHO STEALS FROM SOMEONE AND THEN SAYS IF YOU WANT IT BACK YOU HAVE TO GET IT YOURSELF?? OH CRIMINALS! So not only did I go 2 weeks without any knowledge of the double charge but then when he came back in port and gets the message and we call they give us a "sorry you will get it back in 3-5 business days". Mind you it's Friday.
When I call to get help on everything the phone issue and the double charge I get sent to 3 different people and was eventually told after saying I may have to take my business somewhere else if this company thinks they can take money from me that's not owed...

Recently switched to T-Mobile. I regret. Honestly it all looks like a scam from T-mobile. They assured us that T-mobile will payoff device balance when you switch to them and buy a new phone. Salesperson confirmed before switching that T-mobile will payoff device balance by switching to T-mobile, and we just have to bring the final bill from Verizon. So we trade in our perfectly fine working 1 year old phone to T-mobile. We had to buy a new phone because salesperson told that is the plan requirement.
I contacted to T-Mobile reimbursement department within a week after I upload the bill from Verizon, and I see it is declined, and now it turned out that final bill would not be honored?? It is clearly printed on bill from Verizon Device Payment Buyout Charge $389.59. I paid out of pocket the device payment $389.59 for Verizon account. Now Verizon account is closed and Verizon saying they don't have an access to my account because it is terminated, and they can give me no lease agreement or other papers except final bill. And the phone already traded in to T-mobile. So I am out of pocket for $389.59 and my 1 year old phone is eaten by T-mobile. Now I am making payment for unnecessary phone. Isn't sound ridiculous???
I called to T-mobile reimbursement department, and they politely apologized saying that they cant return my device or approve the reimbursement. I have never felt so insulted and humiliated when T-mobile reimbursement department service rep Adam laughed at me saying - "You are paying that much money for LG G2? And your balance $389.59. Hey come on. Your phone does not worth that money. Send me the device payment agreement from Verizon, and then we can see if its eligible for reimbursement." I felt such a small fish in the big world they're living. Yes my phone is year old and when I bought it it cost over $600. Now it might cost less, but I was using it with no issue and T-mobile just eat my phone and digest it in seconds. I wonder how they can get away with this sort of move.
I should of listen to Verizon customer service rep when he said: "Sir you will regret and come back within couple month". Gosh it's been a month only since I left them. Now I know the reason why they don't deal with reimbursement in store. So they take your phone, have you buy a new phone, sign the contract with them, and will tell you "go to the hell IDIOT", contact our reimbursement department, and that department will send you to the burning Hell saying "Sorry your phone doesn't worth that much IDIOT. Bye." I learned hard way why people doesn't like T-mobile.

I had service with T-Mobile (no contract). I paid my bill and switched to MetroPCS whose monthly billing is less. While in the store with MetroPCS, T-Mobile was called to verify pin number and that account was paid up IN FULL. I asked the customer service person to double check because I did not want any surprises. Again I asked, "If I do this today, there should be nothing due or issues coming up, correct?", to which they replied "Correct." Two months later I am being billed a month and a half (time I have been with MetroPCS). When I called T-Mobile they tell me my account is not active. I called again and after repeating the issue, the 4th person I was transferred to said it was because the billing date was coming up so they prorated the bill. They acknowledged I was with MetroPCS but are charging me anyway. They claim the so-called recorded call was unattainable. I should not have to pay when my phone was not active.

The worst customer service experience I have ever had in the United States. I would highly recommend you do not use this store. I had been in three days in a row trying to solve connection and billing issues. I went to the T-Mobile store in Golden Valley, MN to speak with the store manager in the hopes of getting competent help. Mick **, the store manager was nasty and very abusive. He is highly unprofessional and a very angry person. I was overcharged and then told there was nothing they could do about it.

Dec 6, 2014, our family changed its cell phone service from Verizon to T-Mobile after carefully evaluating coverage and reviewing the offer to purchase eligible Verizon phones. For my one-year-old Samsung Smartphone, we were provided a VISA Debit Card and told we could use it in any store to buy things as we would with any other debit card. The card NEVER worked, and it was incredibly humiliating every time the card was tried and DENIED. I spent about 3 hours waiting for assistance by phone six different times during 2015 and I was provided some codes that also NEVER WORKED upon attempting to make a purchase.
T-Mobile representatives kept telling me they could not help me - that I would have to call the number on the card (AGAIN) or follow up with any other information provided in paperwork that came with the debit card. None of this was helpful or worked and the card expired Feb 2016. Not one dime was ever used from that $220 card! What a scam!
