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

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

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

    Very unprofessional people working for this company. Spoke to the supervisor. She assured me of getting note5 since my note4 was discontinued, she even offer me to pay up my note4 if I'll take her offer. I was waiting for the order. It got to the store while I was away on vacation. When I came back from the vacation and got to the store to pick up my note5 I was told by store manager he can't give my replacement phone since it was canceled. I went from numerous customer reps and supervisors including tech department Israel ID ** that told me he can't reinstate the order since I canceled it myself. Have no idea where he got this info from. 52 min on the phone and still not near to resolve the problem.

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

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

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

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

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

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

    I ordered a phone from T-Mobile and paid up front before they shipped the found. UPS lost the phone in their warehouse 30 minutes from my home. After waiting the time limit UPS requested to see if the phone moves. I contacted T-Mobile 12/3/16 told I would get a refund and they would ship another phone. Well it's 12/14/16 and no progress and it appear T-Mobile does not train anyone they allow to take to customers. It's a different story with each rep. Point to this is don't do business with T-Mobile. It's better to pay a high price for service and be treated like a person that should not just be walked over. Also I live in NJ and coverage is spotty. That's not good coverage. T-Mobile proves cheaper is not better.

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

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

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

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

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

    I have been a loyal customer with T-mobile for over ten years and I have witnessed the decline of their customer service over time. They have become rude and unappreciative and do not even take their time to courteous on the phone. Loyalty and paying off bills on time does not earn their respect and gratitude. They did me one favor in ten years when they reversed accidental roaming charging and they would not even meet me halfway the second time I called to dispute an accidental charge. I had referred so many friends to them and now I feel nothing but disgust and disrespect for this company and its rude staff.

    On November 19, 2016, T-Mobile representative at the Gadsden Rainbow City location misrepresented or lied. By saying I qualified for 2 free phones and free lines with same data plans as my other phones. They said I only had to pay for the tax and the SIM Card setup and everything else is free except taxes. Now December 13, I get a bill that I have to pay for the phones. I called customer care. They are not going to honor their representative agreement and their return is 14 days, but my paperwork say 30 days. I am going to keep the phones and pay the bill. I know that there are more people that got rip-off like I did. I would like something to be done about T-Mobile mistreatment of customers; I know I'm not the only one. I am in fear because all of the other reviews I have read such as more billing later, credit damage, collection agencies, restocking fees, and all other problems and new lies.

    This is why I am keeping the phones and paying the bill. Customer care apologized and said they would do internal investigation at the Gadsden Rainbow City location Alabama, but only after I told him this people two representative lied to me on November 19, 2016 in that store. Customer Care said they believe me and apologized more times; I hope they do their investigation and train their people to do right by customers. I am a long time customer of T-Mobile even before they were T-Mobile they were SunCom over 14 years ago. Very sad day that this company T-Mobile do customers like this. I would like legal actions and see justice. If anyone has the same problem let's stick together can fight these big companies. T-Mobile sad.

    I wanted a cell phone but I told the girl that I was a senior and could only afford $30 a month, as I am on a fixed income. Yes I signed, thinking it would only be $30 after the initial money for phone was $60. After the first month, I started getting bills for $65. I called and told them I could not afford the service. I was happy with the phone, and tried to use it with another carrier, only to find out that T-Mobile had put the kill switch on it where no other carrier could get service. I was willing to pay for the phone, but after they killed it, it was unusable. Now this has made my credit bad. So now I have a phone that is unusable and a bill for it. I felt taken advantage of since I am a senior citizen.

    I have been a customer at T-mobile for years. Earlier this year, I noticed odd charges on my mobile bill. I contacted T-mobile, and at first they were helpful. However, in order to "resolve" around "charges" we were put into their fraud department until a "specialist" called us back to remove those charges. June, July, August, September, October and December they kept charging each line on our account plan charges that we REQUESTED to be removed since June. Each month we called in, they would give us credit, only to put the same plan charges back on our bill and then charge 20.00 reconnect fee per line (5 lines) a month.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    I think that even though T-Mobile is OK they have a lot to work on to make their services better. T-Mobile has some of the most understanding customer service Reps, Love them, they are so quick to help you. But they are very sneaky when it comes to adding hidden charges you aren't aware of so please a bit of advice always scan over your bill and see if anything seems out of place... If your bill is higher than usual. Other than that they're so free to give away free phones with a contract but beware. There's always a catch with their phones.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    I just wanted to let new customers and current customers know that if you are going to get any T-Mobile promotions be careful of what you get and research it because they do not tell you about hidden fees and other things that come up later. That's what happen to me. A T-Mobile rep kept pushing me to get a tablet, saying that it's free and my bill won't go up and 2 months down the line that's exactly what happen. My bill went from 135 to 151 and when I asked if they could take it off they said I have to pay 123$. Smh. They are out here to get your money. I'm not doing any promotional deals with them anymore.

    I tend to be loyal to companies that will do the right thing if I ever have an issue come up with them. After purchasing a phone from T-Mobile it quit after only a few months and I lost all my contacts and data on it. I spoke to the online customer service representatives, the customer retention department and local representatives to see if they would make the situation right with me. At the time they were running a special on the exact phone that had broke on me for new customers giving the new customers a free phone if they signed a 2 year contract with them. I told them I would be willing to sign a 2 year contract with them to take advantage of the special they were running and as a loyal customer of at least 10 years they would not do one thing to help me. Already the reception was very poor in many areas that I used so I decided to cancel my contract with them and pay $300 to leave them.

    I switched to Verizon and have been satisfied with them. I can actually get reception in all the places I need it with Verizon and when I have had customer service issues come up they have solved every one of them. DO NOT USE T-MOBILE. I regret ever signing up T-Mobile. I will NEVER use T-Mobile again even if they have a great special. They do not value their loyal customers and actually penalize them for being a loyal customer. They have lost 1000s of dollars from me when all they had to do was offer me the same special that they were offering a new customer or even give me a discount on a new phone or some token gesture to try to help out.

    Hi everyone, 5 weeks ago I meet a T-Mobile salesman in my friend shop, and after couple conversation about the plans he's gonna provide me with T-Mobile he convince me to switch from Sprint to T-Mobile. After finishing the paper works and everything it appear that I have to pay $191.00 as down payment and I paid with my visa card. After a week I received the phones iPhone 7 black and iPhone 7 rose gold. After 2 Days I figured out that the plans which I been told it's not the one I got!? So I decide to turn the phones back. I called T-Mobile. They send me the UPS label and I send them back next day and it was in 3 of November 2016, and I suppose get my money with 10 days but unfortunately till today I got no refund. No response from anyone from T-Mobile!!!

    I called maybe 20 times - stay on phone for couple hour. Nobody have a clue about my refund, and they keep saying "We will call you back" and nobody does and I keep calling and calling and I got the same answer "We will call back." They received the phones 3 weeks ago in their warehouse and they couldn't find them!? Seems is like my problem. I advise anyone who wanna switch to this horrible phone services and disaster customer service to think twice before you switch.

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

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

    T-Mobile is by far the worst company I have ever dealt with. I am in the process of initiating legal action against them and I have never even considered doing this before to any company I have ever dealt with. I switched to SPRINT last December and that is where the majority of my problems started. I called them directly after the transfer of service to confirm my account would be closed out and that I would get a final bill (which SPRINT would pay). I was reassured several times that my account would be closed out. I even called in early January to make sure again that it would be closed out and my automatic payments would stop just to be sure. They then began to bill me for my iPad which was complimentary up until that point. I never received a final bill until May of that year of which they showed the amount as past due which SPRINT would not reimburse me for.

    I have called close to a dozen times trying to get that corrected so that I can pay the bill and SPRINT could reimburse me. They then sent me to collections and damaged my credit for not paying a bill that is MATERIALLY INCORRECT. The collections department that they use have hung up on me when I tried to explain to them that I need a corrected bill several times. They hung up on me 6 times in one day in fact. I will never or recommend T-Mobile again.

    Horrendous inconvenient. It started Wednesday. I go in hoping to figure out what to do about my phone and see what options I have because my phone's been not holding a charge and dying continuously. The manager Misty, informed me they can help and said I should come in Friday (black Friday) for a great deal to upgrade my iphone 6 for the iphone 7 with no out of pocket cost, just switch in the phone and pay a 24 month fee of 4.16. My boyfriend and I ask if you’re sure. She said yupp! To get just one more opinion we drive to Washington Square Mall to the T-mobile store there to ask and they gave us the same response, looking at our plan and my phone that agreed it would work. So we decided to hang in until Friday to get a new phone for a great deal. (I’m in school full-time and work only part-time so money is tight and a good deal is a good deal).

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

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

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

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

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

    T-Mobile advertised cheap prices so I thought I'll give them a try.

II started a plan with them but reception sucked anywhere I went so I called them up and they reassured again that there is no fees and I can stop the plan immediately which I did.

    Now around a year later I started getting phone calls from collection agencies that I own $124 to T-Mobile. No one is able to explain what this money was for. I told there is no way I'm paying something that I don't owe. Now they reported me to the credit bureau and my credit is dropping.

They are trying to steal my money and every time they give a new excuse for not refunding me my money. Eventually they ended giving me only $140.61 back and I am still missing $224.28. This is sad and very disappointing how they treat a customer. I can't begin to tell how many false charges and fees they put on my monthly bill, it's like every month I have to call them and have them refund or adjust the bills.

I was told by the rep that after a year I would be able to upgrade with no problem to whatever phone I wanted. Once I reached my year I called to do the upgrade. By this time I had been dealing with these phones for several months, not getting service, memory full messages when trying to view photos or download apps, dropped or unreceived calls, incompatibility with bluetooth devices, etc. I can go on and on. When I called they said I was not eligible for an upgrade because I had been late several times in the past. The rep only said I had to be with them a year, never said that being late would automatically disqualify me.

    I described all the issues I was having and they said it was nothing they could do and the only way was to pay almost the full price of a phone which I didn't have the money for. Shortly after I would receive offers telling me I'm eligible to upgrade by paying just 109.00 dollars and things of that nature and whenever I called they would still not honor what they offered me which was clearly offered to me by message. They would get my hopes up by telling me I could upgrade and not stand by it after about the six time I told them that I was gonna cut ties and they still didn't care.

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

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

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

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

    I am sitting in between two towers that have been in upgrade process for over a year. I work from home and I shouldn't have to leave my home to get work done. I get 2 bars most time, and sometimes 4g. The only thing that T-Mobile is concerned about is your money, your payments, that's it. If you're thinking about joining T-Mobile, don't do it! You will wind up like the rest of us, unsatisfied!

    T-Mobile is actually horrible. Most of the operators can't understand anything at all. Their slogan is cheaper is better but that's a scam because they steal your money anyway. My phone has been broken for 3 months now and I called in and told them to cancel the automatic charge to my card so because I didn't have any money in it. The operator said she canceled it. I woke up this morning with my card charged and an overdraft fee on it. I called them and explained everything to get a withdrawal. Conveniently the charge was nonrefundable. That's T-Mobile for you. A bunch of thieves. Cheaper is better but it's not cheap anymore when they're stealing that money on the side.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

As we all know this isn't a rural town, It's a big city. The state capital of Wisconsin. In addition I found out after the fact the phone only has 8GB of memory. 4GB are already used for installed apps. I wanted to install twitter & Starbucks app to the phone. It wouldn't let me saying "memory full". These are the reasons I took the phone back.

    This T-Mobile store would not even let me upgrade. I was told I have to pay an additional $50.00 for restock fee. Now I paid 200.00 for this phone already. Just to upgrade I have to pay restock fee plus the difference of the upgrade phone. This is the worst service I ever had. T-mobile lost a good customer all because they would not let me upgrade without a restock fee. Remember, the phone was still within the 14 days. Promise. Don't ever buy a phone from T-Mobile folks.

After calling in a month ago, I spoke with an agent in customer loyalty. We hashed everything out or so it seemed. I was quoted an amount. And was happy. Now a month later they did not come through with the amount stated. I talk to 11 loyalty and retention agents. I tried everything to get to a supervisor to help and my 11th agent was one. I still did not get a resolution. I was basically called a liar through the whole ordeal. I was transferred abruptly every single time. I was told they basically don't care if I'm retained as a customer and ultimately go into collections due to not paying off my previous phone company.

    They took my old phones applied that credit to new phone while taking that credit out of the money they were to pay off previous company. It doesn't make sense and would have never agreed to those terms if I was lied to in the beginning. If a car dealership offered 500 cash back and my trade in is worth 200. They wouldn't take that 200 out of my 500. It would be additional. So they basically stole my phones and made this whole switch more costly than it was to stay with my previous company. They did not stick to their word and flat out lied. As soon as I can I am leaving them. I will never pay their bills and go into collection. That's how bad they treated me!

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

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

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

    I moved to Chicago from Sydney, Australia for 6 months and needed a phone to use while I was there.

I don't get reception within my own building (which they assured me would get reception).

    When the first month was over I decided to renew my plan but downgrade to a cheaper version. Unfortunately, their website did not let me downgrade my plan and I was told to call. I couldn't even renew my plan because T-Mobile is so terrible that I didn't even get service in my own room. I went to T-Mobile who told me to call to change the plan as that was the easiest option.

Further, we noted from their advertisement that they offer $20.00 per line for unlimited call and unlimited data if one account has 4 lines.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    Dear god, I have never, ever encountered such a bunch of crooks in my life. They are the WORST company I have ever had to deal with. I have spent nearly seven hours on the phone and spoken to nearly 30 advisors to get a complaint looked into. There is NO consistency. Not one advisor knows what the previous one has done. Promises made are swiftly broken. They do not call when promised. They do not follow up. They go OUT OF THEIR WAY to lead you on and see at what point you might break. This is NO exaggeration. I am merely trying to let others see that this company, if you have any difficulties or complaints, will do everything in their power to wiggle out of responsibility. They lie and lie and lie. Avoid like the plague. Never, ever again.

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

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

    BUYERS BEWARE of T-Mobile pre-paid mobile access. Whilst visiting from Australia I was convinced by the Boston T-Mobile sales assistant (Jeury) that their $50 pre-paid sim was ideal for all phone calls and internet access during my 25 days driving vacation around New England. I got good service in Boston, but the next day once I was 40 miles away from Boston (Gloucester MA) the service didnt work. Apparently, T-Mobile dont have enough towers and pre-paids dont get access to other providers towers.

    On returning to Boston, I was told in no uncertain terms that T-Mobile would not give me a credit, because the sales assistant was an independent contractor and they were not responsible for what he had told me since he had now left the branch. If the company doubts the above, please check the records. My phone number was **. Companies like T-Mobile do a great dis-service to the business reputation of the USA.

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

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

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

    I was convinced to move to T-mobile, because of their rates and plus I had Sprint which to say the least is a horrible company. I made the switch in Feb 2016, it is now 10/15/2016 and T-mobile has failed to fulfill their promise to pay your last bill and take care of any cancellation fees. I have called the monthly routinely monthly to see if I can get anything taken care of, because not only did they not pay the last bill or the cancellation fee, now Sprint took me to collections. and I have to pay 356 dollars to get it removed from my credit.

    I called T-mobile time after time and I was told to print out my last bill and take it to a T-mobile corp store... Well I did that about 6 times... and all those time the reps there look at me like I have three heads and no one will help. Sadly I still have T-mobile. I don't have the money to send for super high deposits for AT&T and or Verizon otherwise I would not be with this company. Not only that I have the LG V10 which at first loved this phone but after a while the battery last about half the day, there are burnt screen images and the camera has this awful dot on the internal lens that messes up every picture you take.

    I went into a store to get my phone taken care of since it's still under the 1 year manufacture's warranty, I was told that I was going to get a replacement phone and battery and all I had to do is take the original one that I had to my nearest store and return it... I keep all of my electronics in almost mint condition, what I received in the mail looked like it was ran over by a car over and over again. and I got no battery in that package...

    I called T-mobile yet again and I was told that there is a return label inside the box along with the phone... As I'm speaking with the rep I inform them that there is no such label. While all of this is happening my roommate who is also on the account with me gets a text msg saying that our bill is 190!!! For what she calls them while I'm the other line with them... so we both are on the phone with T-mobile... They tell her that the extra charges are 20 dollars for me getting a replacement phone (which I was told was a free replacement under the 1 year manufacture's warranty) and there is a 15 dollar charge for the T-mobile rep to look at my phone (because all he did was look at my phone, verify my address and told me to look out for ups, did nothing more).

    While I am on the phone trying to get a return label for this replacement nonworking phone my roommate managed to get only the 20 credited back to our account. I gave the lady my e-mail address because she needed to e-mail me the return label, otherwise I would get charged for the full retail value of the replacement phone. This entire experience has been horrible so much so that I have that jump plan... and now I have no intentions of using. I'm going to pay the remaining 135 left on the lease of my phone and cancel the service...

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

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

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

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

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

Calling their customer service to inquire about what happened and they said they can not tell me what number I texted due to confidentiality!!!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The warranty policy was not as stated: I was told that there was NO deductible. When my phone broke, there was in fact one. The features requested were not added. I have a long list of grief and time spent with customer service, including after I disconnected the phone and had it unlocked.

Once I paid the bills and everything, I ordered the iPhone 7 and they cancelled it within a week. And their idiotic response was, "You didn't confirm an email we sent you."

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

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

    Bottom line they lie to you, pass the buck when you need assistance in troubleshooting and play stupid when you ask them to do even a little extra like reaching out to another store to see if they have a replacement phone in stock. If you would like to know more about the issues I have with T-mobile please reply and I will gladly fill you in as to why you should stay far away from them if you can help it.

Problem I left the house without any cash and they will not put it on my account which I've had for 2 years & it's always been in good standing.

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

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

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

I paid off the item, it went through and now a month later my new bill reflects the item again being charged back to my account as a new item that is resulting in my monthly balance being $118 dollars higher. The second incident was a damaged leased phone. The phone need to be replaced. The insurance on the phone which is paid monthly did not cover the phone. Phone had to be paid for and then after giving T-Mobile $420 in total a new phone was another $699 dollars. I know this is big business but the consumer is getting the shaft.

In my work area (where I am running my business and cellphone is my major means of communication), within 5 blocks range, my network connection becomes VERY unstable. It was great before then, but all of the sudden, one bar to no bar at all. My phone cannot even find T-Mobile as available network in my area. T-mobile said, they are upgrading the 5 towers in that area and will take 1 month to fix. Meanwhile, I am using my WI-FI calling, which is also unstable for whatever reason when all our other devices can connect without a problem.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Went back to T-Mobile and was told the phone was not a T-Mobile device, and was going to be shipped a new phone, never received new phone. Order for new phone was canceled 3 times. Phone still not working properly, my daughter had a small crack in the corner of the screen after 3 months of waiting for a new phone, T-Mobile stated "O you have damaged your phone. We cannot replace it." Now still paying current bill for a phone that partially works and all I was offered was a $50 credit, and that is how you treat a loyal customer of 10 years!

    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 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.

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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

And also they will charge you for stuff you did not do or purchased. I will highly recommend stay away from T-Mobile. And their service is not fast like they claim to be.

    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.

    I called T-Mobile's insurance carrier to make a claim, or investigate making a claim for my cracked screen. They proceeded to ask me to confirm my PIN and my address, which it turns out, they were still using my sister's address and PIN from when we were on a family plan, and my sister had moved out of state right before I switched to an individual plan in July 2016. Last month I received a notice by mail from JUMP! about changes to their tier insurance, and T-Mobile has been taking my insurance payments of $12.00 a month just fine since earlier this year, and $10.00 a month since 2014. Somehow they do not have my information on file. I cancelled the insurance that day and will be cancelling my phone service with T-Mobile.

    I'm cutting my losses and don't want to deal with this company again. I haven't been happy with their billing either. My phone service is unlimited talk and text and 2GB of data, but last month my bill was $58.00 and this month it is $86.00. Same plan, no overages, no extra charges, but I noticed taxes this month were $17.00. Seems kind of high.

    On 01/12/16, went to a T-Mobile site to purchase a cell phone, was told that I could not buy a cell phone unless I buy one of their plans. The plan I have is no longer one of their plans, therefore a cell phone could not be purchased. I have an old plan "pay as you go - prepaid". I have had this plan for 16 yrs. FYI if I decide to get a cell phone plan it will not be with T-Mobile. Since I have T-Mobile services, I don't think it's good business to reject one of your customers.

    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.

On 9-11-16 I went to a T-mobile store, the people working there didn't know what to do. So I told what I was so called to do from 611 the 12 times I called.

    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.

    On call with 611 on hold for a long long long time with them getting transferred all around because of this so called hassle free recall T-mobile offers is bill straight up bull. 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.

    And get this they said they would give me a Samsung s7 32gb for a note 64gb when I said no - that's unfair to me, I got a text from T-mobile say they made me a offer for the s7 of and get this only $235.00, they offered for a new s7 unopened still in the box that box that I never said ok to. 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.

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.

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.

I said, "You didn't tell me about this and I've never had to pay a fee to upgrade my phone". She said, "Yes I showed you the price you were going to pay".

At the end of the day she said they will credit me the $60 back but they had to charge me the fee up front.

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...

The sales representative at store are so well trained to cheat consumer, by not telling the real truth. 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. So I don't recommend T-Mobile to anyone. Also be careful with the monthly bills since they also over bill you. So if you have T-Mobile have an eye on your bills or you will lose 100's of dollars.

    I recently changed my address to my mother's address as I had moved in with her and 2 weeks later T-Mobile had billed my mother's credit card without any type of authorization on my part. When I called customer service they were zero help just saying it was through an automated system and they don't know how it happened. What a mess. I am so fed up with T-Mobile!!!

    I have been with T-Mobile for 3 1/2 years and it feels that they stopped caring since they become the uncarrier. They don't care. I have been having issues with calls dropping so I preordered the Galaxy Note 7. Well I received my phone on the 19th. of Aug. And for a couple of days it was ok. Days later I called T-Mobile. Told them not only are my CALLS are dropping and my data acting up my new Note it's getting too hot to touch and if you start talking on the phone your ears are burning. T-Mobile tells me there was nothing to worry about. They lied. I guess some Note 7 are catching on fire and exploding due to the battery. Oh and I found out they might start recalling the Note 7.

    T-Mobile tells me they sent new phone and they haven't but the label is just sitting there. That's another thing. The minute they give it a number they consider that is the date of purchase. I found that out when they said I only had two weeks to exchange it or get a refund was too late. I got the phone on the 19th. It was only 10 days I had it. They informed me the minute they create a label was the day of purchase so now I was out of luck. They told me for a fee of 140.00 they would give another. Not only is this happening my son wanted to reduce his bill so switched backed to T-Mobile and he told them he had a Nexus but they neglected to tell him that they had problems with that brand. So now my son is with a plan but unable to enjoy data or nothing 'cause his Nexus work. How sad. So please think long and hard before entering any.

    On Monday August 29 my LG V10 turned off and won't turn on again. The device is on warranty, so I took it o a dealer store near where I work. They told me it was a malfunction and a replacement would be available the next day. I have Jump On Demand, so I asked to use that service and get a new phone, but was told I have to wait for the replacement phone first. The next day I received an email that my phone was in back order. I would be notified when it's available. On Wednesday I had a chat with a customer service representative and told me my phone was in back order for 4 days. He told me I had to be patient.

    I can't afford to be 4 days without a phone. I went to a corporate store in Doral, Florida, on 1200 NW 87th Ave and asked for help. They told me they had no solution for me and that I had to wait for the replacement phone. A representative told me that what T-Mobile does is to finance the phone, but it's not their fault that the phone broke. I told him then that I would cancel my account if there was no solution for me. He told me to call 611 to do so. I asked the store assistant manager to do an exception, she told me no.

    I wonder why I can't use the Jump On Demand while the store waits for the replacement. I called the 611 customer service and I was offered this solution: To go to a Walmart and buy a cheap phone that I could use while I wait for my replacement. After I left the store I received a text message notifying me that my SAM G920T GS6 has shipped! That's not the same kind of phone that I have. This is very disappointing, and I would like to find a solution for this.

    My Husband and I have been with T-Mobile for almost 13 years. The service has always been mediocre. The customer service is horrible as well. 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. Run away people T-Mobile is a waste of money, unreliable service and terrible customer representatives!

    Hidden fees, false claim to not having a contract. T-Mobile claims to have no contracts, but even worse they lock you in with lease agreements to the cell phones they provide. They make their agreements extremely complicated and don't explain that if you leave before a certain time, they are going to kill you with broken lease charges. I had 3 lines and phones when I switched services. Now I have to pay over $1,100 in remaining lease payments. Even while I was with T-Mobile, their service was sub par and I was still paying over $100 per line. I will never touch anything that has to do with T-Mobile ever again in my life!

    I have had issues with this carrier since day 1. We switched from Verizon thinking it would be a better phone service, and T-mobile stated they will pay off everything we owe to our previous company. And we were still getting billed by Verizon for a year! Their excuses was "We have to see if we can refund you for the charges" which they were supposed to take over in the first place, because we switched to them.

    T-mobile initially sent me a defective phone, so I traded it in within warranty time by mail. 2 weeks later, I get my new I-phone and return the defective one in the same box as they instructed me to... only to find out we've been paying for 2 devices for 14 months! 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. They are claiming they never received it. I would not recommend this carrier to my worst enemy. ** company I've ever dealt with!!!

    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. That's what the P stands for! PERSONAL. It's been my experience that some systems (machines!) may ask for my PINs, but never a live person.

    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.

    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.

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 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.

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.

    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.

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.

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). Go to Satan T-MOBILE, keep your inferior and infernal signal children of Beelzebub!!!!!

    I ordered the best T-mobile call plan international for 20 cents per minute. That was supposed to be for all international calls. However if you make the calls from the united states the call rates are different after I received an $870 bill. Two different sales people who I purchased the plan through never said anything about a different rate when calling from United States. This should be a class action lawsuit filed under deceptive practices.

    I'm writing this review to warn everyone about how horrible T-Mobile is to its customers!! I have been trying to get them to unlock MY IPHONES so that I may switch to Sprint. They lie to you on the phone, their supervisors yell at you, they give you a song and dance. They give refuse unlock our phones. They say Apple has to do it. They left us high and dry with no cell service today. We cannot use our phones. We cannot unlock our phones. I am beyond frustrated and infuriated with this group of unprofessional people. Their service has gone worse. I cannot get calls in my own house. It never used to be this bad! Stay away!

    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? I am very grateful for any help provided.

    I had T-Mobile for about a year and got a new phone at the end of July 2014. I moved in August, and my service was terrible. I called tech service and various other departments to cancel. They told me to wait for the new updates and they would fix. Updates came, same problem, but by now I was too late to cancel. I was stuck with this horrible unethical disgrace of a company if I didn't want to pay a hefty fine, which I did not have the money for.

    I had insurance on my phone and they gave me a nice new refurbished one... Terrible insurance. They then decided to charge me 800 dollars for this phone because it wasn't turned in on time... I never even used it. So this company is the worst and I have spend thousands because of their awful terrible corrupt system. I will never use them again and hope that you all join me in their decreased business. They are lying thieving, unethical con artists. Good job getting my money, you'll never see a dime after this month.

    It has been 24 hours with T-Mobile. Chose the plan due to the great sales person and their care to make a satisfied, happy business customers. Got home, which is 3 hours away from the store, and our cell tower box did not have a power cord and Ethernet. 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!

    I changed my from Cricket to T-Mobile almost a year now. But since I changed to T-Mobile it has been from one problem to another. March 2016, my phone screen was broken. I called T-Mobile and explain to them because I have insurance on my phone but I was told I will be charged $175. I agreed to pay the amount but since then T-Mobile has been charging me $175 till today. My bill jumped up and they told me stupid story. I can't wait for my payment plan to be over so I can leave this terrible network. New people beware T-Mobile is not good. They charge anyhow and the network is terrible.

    Horrible service since day one. We went to T-Mobile within the 14 days return period. We only 3 days took all their equipment back due to poor network issues and not working phone. They charged us for restocking and connections over $150. They told me turn in my phone from Verizon that they will pay off $400 left. But since I did not stay with T-Mobile they refused to give my cell back the next day. Even though we close the account and returned all their equipment. So now no phone and left with the$400.00 balance on Verizon account. I was 100%. They still had my phone but refused to give back. We asked for store manager. He refused to see us!!!

    I have been dealing with T-Mobile related problems for the past month and am rather exhausted. I am usually ok with outsourcing, but it seems to be a huge issue for T-Mobile. Lack of communication and lack of understanding are apparent and rampant. At first I just wanted my old phone number transferred to my new phone. I tried for two weeks with no success because there was constant misunderstanding of what I was saying. Annoyed, I am now in the process of cancelling my account. I'm keeping the T-Mobile phone, but getting rid of the T-Mobile SIM. There have been two mishaps so far with this process, but I'm still counting.

    I switched over from Sprint, where I was paying $105 a month for unlimited data, text and talk after their rep in the store told me they could beat Sprint's price with their new Binge On feature with 2 GB of data. They enrolled me in the plan and signed me up for Binge On. They told me that the major video providers would not count against my data cap (lie), and that when I go over my data cap, my coverage would drop to 3G (lie). 2 months later, I went over my 2 GB and the internet was unbearable. 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. They either have terrible training, or just train their people to lie every step of the way.

    As soon as the contract is over the phone begins to have trouble so you can purchase a new phone... they give you $60.00 trade in value for a phone you bought for close to ($700.) I took some pictures with my phone. The phone was supposed to have the capacity... (another story) and it froze. I called T-Mobile and they attempted to walk me through a reset. That did not work. I was told to send the phone and that a replacement would be sent. I followed the directions given and wrapped as was instructed. The replacement phone was worse than the one I sent in. Now it not only froze but will turn off automatically every 5 minutes... no exaggeration. In addition could not access my apps. Worse than that the bill for the next billing cycle came to $400+ which was almost three times the regular bill.

    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. Also reverberation for me and my friends requiring them to call back on their network.
