Upon switching to T-Mobile my husband was promised a payoff on his old phone with a different provider which was the promotional offer that was being advertised in June of 2015. Last month which was April of 2016 I had some repairs on my phone that needed to be completed with my cell provider Verizon. Upon looking into my account we were informed that almost a full YEAR later T-mobile never paid off the Verizon service for my husband and held their end of the bargain. I was still paying on a phone that they had promised to pay off. We would have NEVER known had my Verizon rep not looked into it.
After faxing the information necessary again over to T-Mobile and holding them accountable to their promises they still have not kept to their agreement of paying off the entire amount on the old phone. In fact they paid $160 less than promised verbally. They expect you to read all the fine print and not take their word for what it is. Several times we inquired as to if the ENTIRE phone would be paid off and when it came down to it they said what they thought we wanted to hear and did the opposite!!! VERY dissatisfied and my husband will be going back to Verizon where customer loyalty and honesty are number one priority. People are fine with the truth. It's when you try to hide your true actions that customers are not satisfied.

I was told by a T-Mobile agent that T-Mobile would pay our cancellation fees with Verizon if we did two things: do the paperwork within 60 days and switch the old phone number over to T-Mobile. I asked the T-Mobile agent very specifically if those were the only two things. She told me that was all that would have to be done. I asked her again to make sure that we were clear. She assured me that was all. My daughter went to change her phone number over and she was told that she would have to buy one of their phones for an extra $35/month ($700). She already has a iPhone 5s and it works just fine with the T-Mobile sim card.
I have called customer service three times and they tell me that there is nothing that can be done. I suggested that they pull the call that I had with the customer service agent. They record calls for "quality assurance". This seems like the perfect opportunity to check their "quality assurance". They told me that they don't have access to the recorded calls. Then what is the point of recording them? I have to wonder how many of their employees are misrepresenting the T-Mobile plan, getting people to sign up and tricking them into having to buy a new phone. A good company would honor what their employee promised the customer. It isn't my fault that they didn't train their employee properly. They should have to take the financial hit, not me!

I have used my new Alcatel Onetouch with brand new LTE 4G service with T-Mobile through Metro PCS and can not even get a web page on my cell phone. After investigating I learned from Google search that many, many people have same issues with T-mobile LTE 4G service. It is fraud and must stop. No one cares while the 2 companies are getting paid by us for their bad service. I am forced to drop to 4G instead of LTE while I was promised 70% LTE data transfer. Thank you for looking into this real problem with both metro PCS selling the T-Mobile service with their lies. I have my cell no. ** with Metro PCS and they sold me the phone and the T-Mobile bad service. Thank you for your help.

I purchased/subscribed T-Mobile cell phone coverage in the midwest several years ago. Could get service anywhere in my home at that time. Now it is May 2016 and I only get service (that consistently drops calls) in one small area of my home. Even my MiFi device is not getting reliable service. Tried locking into monthly auto pay and it's worse coverage. :( The foreign sounding customer service rep says no issues on tower here! Ugh! Something is not right!

After 18 yrs with T-Mobile I decided to actually question my bill because the amounts due kept changing. We went through it line by line and I was told that I was paying for phone insurance that I never authorized. I was credited $30.00 for the trouble. I asked how long this had been going on & he said he couldn't see past the last 3 months and to call customer care. I did that today. What a treat they are! I spoke to the Customer Service rep#1 who indicated I had been charged since 7/2015 and that I would need to speak to the financial department as her computer couldn't authorize a credit going back that far. I spoke to Mia in the financial department who "said" she couldn't do anything for me and transferred me back to Customer Care where that young, inexperienced piece of work with an attitude accused me of trying to find ways to lower my bill by asking for credit.
I told her I wasn't asking for a handout but rather a credit on a charge that I never approved or authorized and had no idea existed until recently. Then her story changed and she indicated that the insurance was from 2012 not 2016. I then questioned the credibility of her statement and the other T-Mobile workers. Math indicates that if 1 customer service rep says their system only lets them go back 3 months and another phone rep says they can only see back to July 2015 and we are in May of 2016 how did either of the prior reps see unauthorized charges from 2012 if their system can't go back that far? Furthermore, I never would have known about the charges unless someone at T-Mobile told me!!
When I called her on it she was mystified as young people often are when you drop a bit of knowledge on them. So the moral of the story is that T-Mobile does lie to their customers; they do add on unauthorized charges hoping not to get caught and will not fairly reimburse you for their error; and customer service reps have no accountability. There is nothing you can do and no one that cares about customer loyalty. If loyalty counted then 18 years without switching providers once in all that time should have proven my worth as a customer.

From the beginning in Feb 2014 to now- May 13th 2016 I have had ONLY issues with T-Mobile. It started this way: T-Mobile didn't pay my termination fees like they said they would do. So, T-Mobile got me into collection with AT&T and didn't help me at all this big issue. T-Mobile was just bouncing me around. A nightmare. That's the first. Second, my clients can't never EVER reach me because there is always an issue with the service provided by T-Mobile. I use T-Mobile for my work. I have lost so many clients because of them. I am fuming. I have two phone numbers with T-Mobile! The whole experience with T-Mobile was and is a nightmare.
I have called customer service probably more than 200 times in total and each time, one sales rep would tell me a difference story. Each time I would call T-Mobile I ask the customer service to make sure that I was saying needs to be written on my file. It never EVER happened. So I decided to get some proofs and I have started to record the calls now to use them against them but to make them listen as how customer Service tells me. It is freaky to hear what the Sales Rep say because each one of them tells me a different story! T-Mobile is below 0 from A to Z.
Each time, I call them I am usually with them for at least 30 minutes minimum - so much a waste of time especially when nothing never ever gets resolved!!! The last situation that has happened it was the last straw. I have sent back my devices (3 of them) on March 12th 2016 with the tracking doc that was emailed to me by T-Mobile to ship the devices with UPS. I have sent back the devices and I was waiting to hear back from T-Mobile to confirm they had received the devices! I have called I do not know how many times and T-Mobile couldn't locate the devices they needed to do another search...
I have called T-Mobile on May 3rd. I have asked them if they have received the devices and again they told me NO. I couldn't believe first that T-Mobile didn't receive the devices and second they told me I was being charged for these devices because they haven't received them! I was beyond myself. I have explained to them I shouldn't be charged for the devices and they kept on saying that since T-Mobile has no proofs that I have sent the devices for that reason I would be charged on top of my plan! It is completely unacceptable. I have called again and again still no notes that T-Mobile should look for the devices. I have asked them to do another search and also to write in my file that I have called and wanted to know where was the devices.. A nightmare!
Luckily, I have taken a screenshot of the UPS tracking number. I have called again. I told the man on the phone to check with the UPS tracking number. That's what he did. I was on the phone for 1 HOUR! A waste of time but I usually spend 30 minutes minimum with them, such a horrible company. Then the sales rep was able to locate the devices and INDEED T-Mobile did receive the devices 10 days after I have sent them meaning on March 22nd. However, this sales rep wanted to check with his manager and he would call me back. I am still waiting! As of today, T-Mobile is still looking for the devices. There is no customer service. The lines never work or when it is not the calls it is the Internet. Stay away from T-Mobile. I just want to get out of my contract and to pay me back for all the lack of everything and put my job in jeopardy because of T-Mobile!

I bought a Galaxy S4 that was a prepaid Verizon phone. I took it to my T-Mobile provider, did some settings and said I was good to go. I got home and went to text a friend and my Galaxy S4 kept saying 'Message failed. Do you want to retry? Yes or No' and you have to hit 'no' or it keeps resending 'message failed'. First I had internet, now I don't unless I'm near a wifi connection and after the first week of payment, not even 5 days go by, they will send a message that I've done. Used up my 5g fast speed internet. How can this be if I go 3 weeks on straight talk on with only 3g before my plan is renewed?

I do not recommend T-Mobile services for so many reasons. First their services are really bad. Never had service or call would drop. Second was constantly getting billed over billed. To top it off when we canceled our services we canceled before the next month billing cycle started but T-mobile still went ahead and billed for us for another month of no service with them. Have a friend and cousin that had the same issue happen when they canceled their services. Would highly suggest to look into other providers before going with T-mobile.

I bought a prepaid phone (Samsung Grand Prime) during my parents' visit to USA, from T-Mobile for $120. When I bought that phone, the customer representative told me I will be eligible to unlock that phone after 40 days. The plan was $40 and the phone cost me $80. Now after 60 days, I called T-Mobile to unlock my phone, and now they are saying that I cannot unless I recharge $100 more, which I was not told before I bought that phone. My parents are already back and I don't need the line any more. I was scammed by the T-Mobile customer representative.

Ive been with T-Mobile for about 3 years. I dont know why I havent switched the first month with their service. Too many problems and issues regarding service, defective refurbished phones, 99% of their customer services, managers that have yelled and hung up on me etc. My latest and last straw with this poor excuse of a company has been because I now had to pay $400.00 for a defective phone restocking fee (when the phone cost me $250.00 when I got it).
It started a couple months ago when I had the phone replaced. I could not transfer any files over and I asked for an extension to send it back and customer service said yes that was fine. When I was able to, I would go to the T-Mobile stores to see if they could help, and looked like it was transferring, however then it would stop. Due to health reasons, with documentation to support this, I wasnt able to keep going to the stores. However when I did, I would still have issues with transferring files and I dont have a computer.
Long story short, ALL THE TIMES Ive called T-Mobile to explain the situation, they SAID theyd extend the time to bring it back because at that point I was already being charged $368.00. So in April they told me to bring it in May. Lo and behold my service gets canceled shortly after. I speak to a representative who said it was ok, then I speak to either a manager or another rep from financial dept Im assuming, who tells me, "Nope, now you have to pay a 400$ restocking fee."
With no other choice, I pay it. NOW, my phone doesnt charge which was an issue for months and I have come to find out THAT NO ONE HAS WRITTEN ANY NOTES ON MY ACCOUNT REGARDING ANY ISSUE OR SITUATION. It is a SCAM to make customers feel as though customer service is be honest and true to their word that they are writing notes on account... And then find out that theyre lying, just so we can end up paying all kinds of ridiculous amount of fees. Shame on you T-Mobile. Do not use T-Mobile, theyll get you one way or another. If youre still with them, go to Verizon or AT&T.

Every single time I have called T-mobile... This is since November... I have waited on hold more than 10 minutes. Every single time. I don't call that often. It's just not worth it! I'm paying a company that charges as much as VERIZON to wait on hold because the only logical conclusion that I could come up with is that T-MOBILE HAS ABSOLUTELY NO RESPECT FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS.

So my phone goes bad. They send another one out. 3 days got it. Out of the box there is problems. I was told give it a week. I do. Nothing gets better. Call them up. They tell me to go into the store and they will replace it. So I do that. They tell me they cannot do that and that they will send another one out. Today is the 9th. They tell me it should be sent out by the 18th (WTH). Last one I got in 3 days, so I get a supervisor on the phone and she tells me I have to add insurance to get in 3 days. I tell her why the last was here in 3 without it. And I told her the last cust rep told me to go into store and they would replace. She tells me, "nope we don't work that way." So I tell, "well neither do I." As I stated in subject line no customers service. They don't want to anything unless you give them money so I'm done with, so please be aware. Not recommend at all.

T-Mobile drops calls. T-Mobile pads their bills with unauthorized charges. T-Mobile charges for an extra month of service even after you pay your account in full and close it and move your service to another carrier, and this policy of charging is not written down in any of their documents or contracts. T-Mobile's reps and managers are rude and inefficient. T-Mobile's coverage areas are spotty and often nonexistent, despite what their maps say.
I would give zero stars if it was allowed. We were with T-Mobile for years and endured all of these things at their hand, and finally got smart this spring and switched our service to another carrier, where we are much happier and not experiencing any of the negatives outlined above. I originally wrote a detailed complaint in this post about T-Mobile and listed all the indignities and abuses I suffered at their hands -- but then decided nobody wants to read that many complaints -- so I am keeping it simple and cutting to the bottom-line truth: Stay away from T-Mobile if you value your time, your money, and integrity and trustworthiness, not to mention your ability to be connected in a reliable way without spotty service.
This wasn't always the case with T-Mobile. Years ago they had good service and provided good value. We relied on their prepaid service heavily during the recession as a way to save on monthly billing charges. But no more. In fact, I will tell you that I am middle-aged and hearing-disabled and they really have no interest in doing business with me at all. Their stores are one big loud party with extremely loud music playing all the time, and their phone presence is maintained by people for whom English is not their first language, making communication problematic both online and in stores if you have a hearing disability. Doing business online is difficult because they keep information to an absolute minimum online and suggest calling someone if you have questions.
So after dealing with T-Mobile's overcharging and the dropped calls and the no-service-anywhere much of the time and the difficulty in communicating with them as a person with a hearing disability, I left them and moved to a new carrier, one that I love and have no problems with at all. You should do the same. Or even better, don't sign up with T-Mobile to start with. You'll save yourself a lot of headaches and time by just avoiding them in the first place.

Back on August 8th, 2015 I stopped at T-Mobile to upgrade my daughter's phone from a 5C to 6. The manager told me that T-Mobile was offering free tablets and I qualified for it. I took the offer and added internet for 10 bucks, no problem. Well it turns out I was paying 17 a month, because they were charging me 7 dollars for the tablet. I have 112 dollars left to pay on the free tablet and there is nothing I can do. They mislead me and I am sure quite a few more customers.

T-mobile customers, I would like to make everyone aware of a little issue I am having which could very well affect some of you! I purchased a smartphone under the "Jump! on demand lease program! So I actually leased it! Back in January I accidentally dropped it which caused a very small crack on the lower left side of the screen, but the phone worked fine without any issues until a week or so later when it suddenly shut-off and started to overheat! Since I had to pay $175.00 to have it fixed or replaced I just started using another phone I had until I decided to have it replaced which was last Saturday. So I filed a claim online which asks you various questions including the device model number and the date of the incident, what happened, etc.
Since I wasn't sure of the exact date I just added a date a few days prior thinking it was no big deal (Now here comes the part that proves that the insurance company is into some shady business practices to rip customers off!!), which caused my claim to be denied because THEY DO NOT INSURE THE PHONE, THEY INSURE THE PHONE NUMBER. In other words, they insure the phone you are using at the time of the incident and since I was using a different phone they denied my claim, which in my case was not a problem, I just had to figure out the date of the incident, then call them and have them update the claim.
So I called them and went through the whole process only to be told that the claim was still denied due to the fact that I ONLY HAD 90 DAYS from the date of the incident to file a claim! Now why would they insure a phone number (phone actively being used) and not the phone that was being leased through T-mobile and why do they have a 90 day claim period? So if you can't afford or choose not to pay the deductible within 90 days you are stuck with a phone you can't use and also you still have to make the remainder of the payments on a phone that is technically not yours since it is being leased and on top of that when you take it back after the lease expires you will have to pay Tmobile $149.99 to purchase a broken phone or they will have the damages estimated and you will have to pay them for the repairs!!!
Now since I never signed any written or verbal agreements that explained the 90 day shady expiration period for the claim I will consider my contract with T-Mobile breached which gives me the right to cancel my plan with them and not pay them another cent! Unless they come up with a resolution to have my phone repaired or replaced!

I had called T-Mobile because I asked them 10 days ago to unlock a new iPhone that I just bought at one of their T-Mobile stores. So I finally got the email stating that the phone was unlocked. The email stated about a phone not being able to be unlocked for 24 hours and that there is a code below (which was not in the email). So I had originally called them to see how come I did not get a code and the rep told me that iPhone do not have codes and that with an iPhone, I don't have to wait 24 hours to try to unlock it. I told that to my boyfriend who had the phone overseas (he is deployed) and he tried unlocking it but stated that the phone can't unlock. So I called T-Mobile again and the rep accused me of buying this phone from the black market and said that there were no receipts in the system stating I bought this phone from T-Mobile. I started yelling and screaming at this rep and ask for his supervisor.
His supervisor was just as nasty as the other rep was and accused me too of buying a black market phone. Then she tried to tell me that that's not what she said and I said "Yes you just did". She tried to make me look like I was crazy and making things up that she just said. FINALLY after arguing with them for 30 mins, they FINALLY connected me to a iPhone technician and he told me that I had to wait the 24 hour period to unlock the phone. I could NOT BELIEVE that after being a customer with them for 8 years and buying at least 10 phones from them that they would ACCUSE me of trying to make them unlock a blacklisted phone. They should be ashamed of themselves!

I got my iPhone 6 through first JOD (Jump on Demand promotion) back in August 2015. I knew I had 3 JOD's per year and I used another one with iPhone 6S upgrade. But iPhone 6S would not be shipped fast enough so I contacted T-Mobile. The rep told me to order additional one and once I receive the latter one, I could simply return that. But that was the start of this entire nightmare.
I received both of iPhone 6s' but I decided not to use them. So I cancelled them and returned them. But issues written below are still not solved until as of today (4/25/2016, about 6 months). I was keep paying for the monthly installments until March 2016 (one 6s was refunded in January, and the other one 6s in March) - resolved. I paid about $300 initial deposit which was fully refundable, but still haven't got those back. The system said I used up all 3 JOD's (iPhone 6, 6s, and another 6s), and that I was automatically terminated from JOD plan because JOD doesn't exist anymore. The system says I cannot upgrade using JOD both online and in the store. The only way is to use regular 24 monthly plans where it is much worse than JOD.
I've talked to more than 10 different representatives about this issue (probably spent about 10+ hours waiting and talking to the reps about this) and they all said the same thing: "it will get resolved in a few days, please wait a while". - It never did. "I'm sorry but we don't understand why your 3 iPhones are showing as completed leases" but they never fixed it.
There were 2 times when they said they will call me back, but when they called me back I was transferred to someone who didn't know anything about this issue and I had to repeat myself all over again. Moreover, the phone will get hung up and they will never call me back or follow-up on me. I am telling you and warning you. Don't expect if T-Mobile screws you up in the system. It will not get fixed. T-Mobile may have a good plan and services, but this is their weaknesses too. For a cheaper price you get what you pay for. T-Mobile will eat your money and never repay.

I have been an AT&T customer with the same number for 15 years. With all the marketing and deals advertised by this company, I decided to port my number to T-Mobile. From the start there were issues, the number failed to port. T-Mobile lost my number and couldn't activate my account. I then canceled the attempt when they lost my number and went back to AT&T where I had to get a new phone number and service set up. 2 months later I start receiving bills for service that I never activated or used.
This company takes no responsibility for their failures. Now I am dealing with their customer service department and they can't figure out how to credit me. I will never give this company an opportunity to gain my service ever. The service in-store was less than professional as the sales agent told me it was my problem that they lost my original phone number and that they were not willing to assist in recovery in any way. This company delivers some of the most unethical, rude and shady business I have ever seen experienced at any time. This whole attempt to save 20 dollars a month has cost me a lot more grief than the savings. I would advise any new customers to be very leery of this company and their business practices.

T-mobile withdrew over $700 from my account without authorization. I switched from Verizon to T-mobile and due to the horrible service of dropped call and delay in calling it switched back. Prior to switching I stopped my recurring payments. Without notice or authorization they took $727 from my bank account. I requested a refund which was denied because I originally had ach. They told me I did not stop the recurring payments (I know for absolutely sure I did) so they were not going to provide a refund. I am beyond furious with this company. They have a class action lawsuit going on in Florida because of the fraud they pull. They have great prices but are truly unbelievably unprofessional and will scam you without a doubt.

I just recently decided to try T-Mobile, I was assured that the service would be near perfect at my home. I was told that I was in a good coverage area and there should not be any issues. (I was told this repeatedly.) I WAS LIED TO and I was told so by T-Mobile's own tech support! After only having the service (3 phones) for less than a day I was back at the store. I was told that I shouldn't be having these issues so they would overnight me a wireless cell spot. Got the first one the next day (mind you I had no service when I get home) it did not work.
Called and was on the phone (not a T-Mobile phone, cause those don't work at my house) for hours to fix the issue. I was told the cell spot didn't work and they would send me a new one. Three days later I get it. Same issue, didn't work. Tried to take all the phones back and they assured me it must be the phone I chose. I picked a new one and at no surprise it still did not work. Another few hours on the phone and another lunch break spent at the store! I had 14 days to return the phones on the "BUYER'S REMORSE" program.
They talked me into trying yet another kind of phone. That was Tuesday - today is Friday. I took them all back to try and get my money back.... and surprise they don't have enough money in the store to refund my money. Tomorrow is the last day on this "buyer's remorse" program. I'm pretty sure they are trying to con people out of money or into a crappy contract of crappy service. I will be at their store again today before they close assuming they have money to get mine back!

I attempted to switch from Verizon to T-Mobile due to their international rates. I am military and T-Mobile offers great rates in Qatar. I was told that my Galaxy S6 would work by a T-Mobile Rep, and ordered SIMs under the Bring your Own Device plan. I was informed that I could receive a full refund within 30 days by the rep on the phone if I changed my mind. I received the SIM cards, and learned that my Verizon variant S6 wouldn't support data services on the T-Mobile network; from what I gather my location relied on a Band that they didn't provide. Regardless, I closed the account and asked for a refund on the SIM cards. I was initially told by a customer service rep that they would not refund the SIM cards.
After reviewing the information I received when I initially began the process of switching and noting that it did say I had 30 days to get a full refund, I called back and was informed that I would receive a refund for the SIM cards (that was after being bounced around several times to different reps and eventually their orders department. I was informed not to worry about returning the SIM cards, because it wasn't economical for T-Mobile to reuse them. I was told that I would receive a refund for the SIM card purchase. This has never happened. I have interacted with them over the phone and on chat numerous times, and been given the runaround every time.
I am disputing the charges with my credit card company based on the chat logs I have promising a refund, and I am also posting to this and other forums in the hopes that prospective customers will see it and stay away from T-Mobile. My goal is to cost them at least as much in revenue from a potential customer as they have effectively stolen from me. So, if you're reading this, please take my advice and stay away from T-Mobile. They ripped me off, and they might do it to you as well.

I have had cell phones for nearly 20 years, and been through pretty much all the major carriers. Up 'til now, my advice to people would be to try and pick the 'least bad of the awful'. Poor service, poor coverage, non-existent customer service and a standard practice of making the billing as difficult as possible to understand. Overage charges, hidden fees, and deceptive practices have turned the mobile phone market into a minefield waiting to blow up your budget. After being with my last carrier for almost 10 years, they refused to match the competitive rates others were offering, until after I had made the switch. I was actually asked "What can we do to get you back?" Like the song by OneRepublic, it was "too late to apologize". You can check out my Sprint review to find out more about that experience.
Now for the good. I live in a rural area on the outskirts of Denver. Even though I am only a few miles from town, the Front Range makes getting a cell signal a nightmare. Getting internet in any form, especially mobile, is almost an impossibility - or was! Sorry Verizon - you may have the largest coverage area in the known universe, but my initial test with a Verizon phone showed equally bad reception. 1 bar.
T-Mobile had advertised 4 lines of unlimited everything in early March. "Yeah - right! I've heard about your coverage" I said to myself. However, I did go to the T-Mobile site to see if they had a coverage map. Much to my surprise, they had a highly detailed map, that not only was specific to a house-sized area, but also had 'cells' that were marked 'verified coverage' (see image). I was shocked to see my house was in a verified area for excellent 4G coverage. By the next day, I had borrowed a friend's T-Mobile phone to validate the map. I had 5 bars of 4G. Before the day was out, I had 4 T-Mobile phones, a tablet and a wrist phone.
And my experience has only gotten better. In my experience, rebates are a method for a company to not to pay. Given I had over $500 in early termination fees that T-Mobile would 'rebate', I was skeptical. "Allow up to 8 weeks to process" didn't help. Nevertheless I proceeded. As soon as I got the final bill from Sprint, I submitted it through an EASY online process. Did I say EASY? Oh, and T-Mobile had an option to send me texts as the process went forward. AND THEY DID! I knew when they had processed the paperwork, I knew it was approved for the full amount, and I knew when to expect the refund - less than 4 weeks from hitting "submit". A telecommunications carrier that communicates - who knew!
Since then, I have had a few instances to call with questions. T-Mobile has been consistently polite, courteous, informative and helpful. I honestly feel VALUED as a customer. Scratch that. Make it UNBELIEVABLY VALUED. The only problem I have had to-date is that I have started having nightmares that Verizon bought them out. May that day never come!
My other area of disbelieve and extreme satisfaction is the level of easy-to-read, easy-to-find and easy-to-interpret information provided on the My T-Mobile site. I can look at the complete usage for all devices in an instant, know how much data is left (no overage charges - just slows down!) on the tablet and wrist phone. T-Mobile doesn't hide the cost of the phone in a contract. You pay fair market price for a phone, and T-Mobile will divide it into 24 interest free payments, or you can pay some or all the balance at any time. And you can know exactly WITHIN A FEW CLICKS what you owe, what you paid, and how long is left before payoff. This became even more amazing when my son traded in his phone for a more expensive model within the 30-day window. The payment made towards the original phone was re-applied to the new phone. I know this because of the excellent and easy-to-use billing interface made it crystal clear.
Each phone has 14GB of hotspot data allowance per month. I now use my cell phone as a supplement to our home satellite internet. T-Mobile outperforms it, and I have started using my hotspot from home when I need to VPN into the office. Through casting, I am able to 'cast' Netflix, Hulu and others to our TV. For us, this is huge, because we have a 50GB limit per month on satellite internet, but unlimited video (and internet) through T-Mobile. I could go on. I'll just say that T-Mobile has so far exceeded my expectations that I think I must have died and gone to heaven!

I always need to call every month to make my bill adjusted. From one representative to another, they will confirm that they fix the issue and I don't need to call every month anymore. When calling I need to call 3 times, provide the same information to the automated system and exactly the same information to the live representative, before getting a more competent representative. It seems like T-mobile representatives are trained to drop the call if they are not able to address or answer customer's questions. They are more trained to read from a script than understanding what customer problem is and coming up with a solution. Lots of pointing fingers. They need to get their customer relations fixed. Customer service says it is not their fault, it is another department's fault.

I switched from a different provider to T-Mobile about 3 years back and on March 20th I switched from T-Mobile to another provider. When I switched to T-Mobile I did not enroll to a fixed contract. Meaning I can switch to any provider whenever I wanted to. The recent switch from T-Mobile to another provider was made on the 1st day of the billing cycle. I was expecting to pay for a day service on prorated basis. However T-Mobile sent me a statement for one full month service (March 20th to April 19).
When I called them they are saying it's T-Mobile policy to charge for the whole month when the number is ported the first day of billing cycle, which was not the case with other provider when I switched to T-Mobile. Now I have to pay both providers for one month service. I am really disappointed with T-Mobile. There is no clause/verbiage in terms of service that states that I have to pay for whole month service when I port the number in the middle of billing cycle. I am sure there are lot of customers out there who have had the same experience. These companies should be taken to task for cheating/looting customers. The attached image shows the bill for $127 towards service from March 20th to April 19th. Please note I switched to another provider on March 20th.

I live in a very rural area and wanted broadband internet instead of dial up. Because of where I live, I was told the hotspot may not work as well. But it was satisfactory and better than dial up, so I kept it. This was in 2011. I bought an antenna for it and actually was able to get 1-2 bars of 4G in fall, winter months, 1 bar 4G or 5 bars E in spring and summer. Starting the week of 3/25/16, my internet hotspot totally dropped to "searching" then maybe 2 bars of E. For the heck of it I tethered my H2O wireless phone, which runs off AT&T towers, to my computer. OMG, the internet was faster than I have ever experienced. So I decided to get a Cricket phone w/ 10 gigs and use that as my hotspot since that runs off AT&T towers also.
I then called to cancel my T-Mobile service. The rep said "Oh yeah, T-Mobile is upgrading to 4G LTE in that area so your hotspot won't work, but I can upgrade you to super fast 4G LTE hotspot..." I told him "Hell no". I would have been more receptive if T-Mobile would have been respectful to tell me that my hotspot won't work before this so-called upgrade to towers was happening. Funny thing is the hotspot won't work at all in the city where 4 weeks ago it got 5 bars 4G. This company is BS and I wish I switched years ago instead of wasting my time and money for lousy internet service.

Due to living part time in the UK, last year I purchased a prepaid phone and loaded it with $60 in order to have basic mobile use while in the US. However, now that I am moving to the UK, the T-Mobile rep, in his aim to purportedly please the customer, told me that he "has exhausted all possible options," but effectively this means that T-Mobile absolutely will NOT reimburse whatever phone credit is remaining.
In my case it is $49. Yes, it is written in their Terms & Conditions, but this company is particularly keen to sell its products rather than to consider the customer in front of them - and give them a heads up. It would have helped me, given that I explained my dual-country living situation, if the salesman had said "Don't put too much credit in your phone because in the event that your circumstances change and you no longer need the phone, you will lose your big chunk of change." T-Mobile is an extremely unsatisfying company. And even when I arrive to the UK, I will never ever use this company again. Ever.

T-mobile people came into my store and signed me up for the service and the phone. This was done with the understanding that I might have to cancel, as I was waiting to see if I would be given a phone by a friend and therefore wouldn't need to buy one. "Oh, sign up now", they said. "If you need to cancel, don't worry. Just refuse the phone when it comes and your bank account won't be charged." I did and it was. Now I can't get my money back. Hours on the phone listening to inappropriate phone menus. Put on hold listening to racket they apparently think is pleasant music but which in reality is a form of torture. In short, after all this rigmarole, the first agent said "Your refund will take three days. But call this number to be sure." I did. More rigmarole, phone menus, long stretches on hold listening to mind ** racket.
Then a second agent. His story was "oh, no, that refund will take thirty days. But you can call this number to see if the warehouse will expedite." I did. More torture. Finally I connect with a third agent who explained my refund would take at least 90 days--three months! From a few hours to three days to thirty days to three months. I said "I'm beginning to doubt I'll ever get money back." He said, clearly implying I might be right, "Keep all your documentation." What documentation? The phone was never in my possession. It was refused as I was directed by the T-mobile people. Well, he gave me to understand, the people in the warehouse may not be able to find it. Don't believe anything this company tells you.

I was sold the JUMP plan. When it was sold to me, the only part that interested me, was when the representative told me that if anything happened to my phone, they would replace it. What they didn't tell me, was that it was $175 deductible. I've paid in about $120, and they want me to pay $175 to swap out my phone, for a $90 screen repair. After being treated rudely on the phone with customer service, I finally got to a supervisor. When the phone call dropped (shocker), he didn't even call me back. I had to start all over. Neither the call center nor the store would come to a satisfactory solution to being mislead in the store. They kept trying to say that it was the insurance company's issue, not theirs.

T-Mobile did not communicate at all that their reimbursement would take place over the course of eight weeks and that the credit would be applied to the T-Mobile account and not through a check in the mail. Now, I'm at least $650 in the hole with Verizon with a very short deadline because T-Mobile didn't communicate that their reimbursement was a long and tedious process. They only credit to your T-Mobile account. They only give you $195 for a $500, less than five months old iphone when you trade it in. If I could switch back to Verizon, I would.

I have been a T-Mobile customer for over 14 yrs. I have the HTC One phone which, after contacting a T-Mobile store, I was informed is a very defective phone: the power button is bad. The power button is, according to T-Mobile employees, defective. My phone also goes black on its front resulting in my not being able to send/receive a call. Each time T-Mobile replaces the phone it does so with another HTC One which lasts a few months and then I am once again calling them regarding the same issue.
Today, I was on the phone for an hour with a total of 8 employees; they disconnected me twice. Each disconnection occurred when I asked for a supervisor. During the final call I was informed I would be getting another phone that would arrive 5-7 days. That supervisor informed me that they would send me a confirmation text regarding the new phone; to which I asked her and reminded her again (ARG!!!) that my phone was not working! I had told them to send me another one of the 'defective' phones and I would be calling them again when it does not work as well and I would contact ConsumerAffairs. I was told that they would offer me a '7-day credit' as a courtesy. REALLY!!!???
When asked about a loaner phone I was told I had to call the stores myself with no guarantee in receiving one. I called two stores and were told they do not provide that service. I am asthmatic and my cell phone is my only means of communication. T-Mobile takes their payment directly out of my checking account days early; I have not complained. I believe that their customer service department, customer loyalty department, and company as a whole is not respectful of their customers. I have had enough.

I have several issues with T-Mobile's billing and customer service. However this last issue I believe is consumer fraud. I moved from Sprint to T-Mobile and after a few months decided to my daughter's line over as well. T-Mobile was having a promotion, and for each line you ported over you would get a $200 credit. My husband also had a line with Sprint connected to his tablet. The salesman at the store used the $200 credit to convince us to port his line and purchase a new iPad. Because we were saving the $200 we agreed. On 1/27 I received a $200 and as I was expecting a $400 credit I called T-Mobile. I was told the credit would issue on 3/5. On 3/5 the credit did not issue. I called back and they told me to pay the bill amount over the $200 and they would get the rest credited to me as soon as possible. I called back again 2 weeks later as there was still no credit. I was again assured I would receive credit.
Today I received a disconnect text. I called and was transferred 3 times before I finally was told that the porting my husband's line didn't count because it wasn't a voice line. She offered me a $50 credit. I declined and asked to be transferred to someone else and she disconnected me. Thinking it was an accident I waited for her to call me back as she promised. When there was no return call I called again, was transferred 3 times and this time was offered a $100 credit. I told them they could credit me, but that I would be seeking all the legal recourse I was entitled to. Do not go switch to T-Mobile. Their sale team are paid on commission and are using deceptive business practices to increase their sales and then T-Mobile refuses to honor their lies.

I visited the T-Mobile store at 335 Wilshire Boulevard, Santa Monica, CA to purchase a mobile phone. The T-Mobile salesperson helped me choose a phone and stated it would cost me $27.00 a month for 18 months. I accepted the cost and finalized the transaction. When I received my first bill, however, it stated that the phone was not being purchased but leased and that at the end of the 18 months, I would have to pay an additional amount to keep the phone.
I contacted the T-Mobile national customer service number but they stated I had to first contact the store before they could address the issue. I contacted the T-Mobile store and the manager (C.A.) stated he could not honor the salesperson's pitch but that the store could eliminate the additional costs that had also been added undisclosed in the form of accessories which the sales representative had said were included in the price. I contacted T-mobile's national customer service number thereafter, but the representative there stated there was nothing that could be done on their end. The moral of the story is to confirm in writing any verbal estimates a T-Mobile salesperson makes before finalizing the transaction. In the years with Verizon, I did not have this issue.

I knew already what I was interested in, just needed to place the order. This is around 10 pm, PST. I told the sales rep I am interested in a PRE-PAID account. I told him I do not want to add/sign up a phone line. The sales rep told me: "I am going to give you free overnight shipping, right now."
The sales receipt came to my email (email omitted) while still on the phone with your sales rep. I pointed out to him: "this receipt says I am signed up for the 2GB plan", which he denied, then said: "Let me transfer you to customer service RIGHT NOW, so they can change your plan." As you may have guessed, the customer service rep I was cold transferred to, could not help me/change a plan/even look me up without an account number. Having just signed up, I already felt a very bad impression of your company. That order number was (order number removed). I have attached a screenshot of my phone, during this phone call.
I called back into sales, spoke with a new, different sales rep, who I gave my order number to, now told me I was in fact NOT signed up for free overnight shipping. (I actually never asked for this, but your first sales rep did tell me he was providing this to me. You should be able to find out who he was and listen to the call, from my order number.) She told me no one would ever say this because your company does not offer free, overnight shipping "Or else we would all be giving everyone free overnight shipping." Hearing this made me feel like she was saying I was making that up. This second sales rep I talked with, also told me that I was signed up for a POSTPAID account (not prepaid, as I had requested with your first sales rep).
This second sales rep told me: "The difference in value between a postpaid and a prepaid account, is on a postpaid account you'll get 10GB extra, every month, once you are signed up for the original 14G plan you wanted." This was really amazing to hear. I was all set to make the right decision to cancel, but decided I would stay because of this new, amazing information. I confirmed with her: "every month?". She said "yes". I confirmed this was not a $10 promotion, but a 10G promotion. She said any representative should be aware because "it automatically comes with that plan."

She said in 2015, "Your company offered a roll over promotion and possibly a $10 promotion." I take notes (as you can tell) so I was sure I did not misunderstand your second sales rep.
I told Michelle I want to cancel the order. She said she could not cancel the order until there was a UPS tracking number. I had to suggest to her "why don't you check the account before you leave today, also when you come into work tomorrow morning. When you see the tracking number, call UPS and then call me back." She said she would do this. (She did not make this suggestion herself, she would rather I called back.) She found that the first sales rep took down a bogus phone number for me and placed that in the order. I gave her my real, correct phone number. I never heard from Michelle again.

It would be appreciated if they could speak to you one last time to get that verbal confirmation that the order needs to be canceled and take care of it right away for you!" *Heather.

Kevin who asked for my SSN without checking it has no SSN. After explaining to him that you (through Facebook) told me they want my verbal confirmation to cancel, he said "so just to make sure I have the correct understanding, you want to check the order status?" He said "It looks pretty busy when I tried to reach out to have it canceled but we have to send a request to offline team. We have to find out if it can be canceled or not. It can take an hour. We need you to call back again, in an hour." He said it's been shipped, they cannot contact UPS and ask them to send it back. He told me the previous rep Michelle "did misinform you". (I called your company again and updated your company again, via facebook.)
Josiah just told me the order is still in a submitted status, the reason it cannot be canceled is because the shipping documents have already been fulfilled. He said there is no tracking number.

The tracking number isn't pulling up any info yet because it hasn't left our warehouse and we unfortunately don't have a way of stopping it. The telesales agent advised that you this should work out just fine and if some reason it doesn't, we are back to refusing delivery upon arrival.

I have just gotten off a conference call with UPS and "Charlene" from your 'executive specialist team' department and the UPS person told me the only option is to receive the package and refuse it. The UPS person said at this point, the 'my choice" will not work. I want to point out, I mistakenly did not ask "Charlene" for her rep ID. She seemed combative and argumentative with a tendency to interrupt.
"Oh no, I am sorry to hear that didn't work out. We are still putting our heads together to find ways to work this out for. Right now, that is the last option to have the order canceled. Would leaving a note on the door to refuse shipping accommodate your needs?" *TaylorM. (I think it's important to note I have been trying to cancel this order since only 12 hours after it was placed. At this point, it is now already Tuesday.)
"I completely understand I am the same way, I want things how I want when I want. I really wish we could have accommodated your request however when an order is placed there is a short window in which we cancel based on when and time of day the order was placed. I do apologize that we missed that window but we are willing to do anything we can now to help!" *Taylor.
You are comparing yourself to me that I want things how you want, when you want? That minimizes me pointing out that I have tirelessly been putting effort into getting this canceled. What does this mean to you, that I have names and ID numbers of different employees of yours giving me conflicting information?"Echosaisis, I can absolutely understand where you are coming from. T-Force is here to make sure issues are resolved. At this time with the order moving to UPS it will need to be returned to sender. If there were more I could do, I'd do it in a heartbeat but in this case there is no flexibility. I know this has taken a large amount of time away from other things that you could have been doing, but we want to make sure you are able to cancel the order. Please let us know if you have any additional questions." *Heather.
It's like talking to a recording or a politician running for office. Every response from you. "(name omitted), I understand my answers sound canned and recorded.

WEDNESDAY (today) 7:41 AM PST I called your "executive specialist team" and talked with a "Samantha" three different times. The first time, she transferred me to someone's extension who was not available. I did not feel comfortable leaving a message, as your company has shown me that when told I would get a call back, that does not actually happen. The second time I called and talked with "Samantha", she disconnected the call. The third time I called and talked with "Samantha". I told her "I will continue to call you back until I am assisted. You disconnected the call the last time I called."
Samantha laughed. How professional! She transferred me to the actual "executive specialist team" department (assuming she is an operator) and I talked with "AJ", rep ID **. I asked him to contact UPS again, ask them to cancel the order/return to sender. AJ claimed to have talked with UPS and he told me I must wait for my package to arrive in Sacramento (where I live) at which time, the package will automatically be re-routed back to T-Mobile.
We know from reading this very long email, T-Mobile has shown more of a history of not following through, or not giving correct information. At this point, I choose to laugh rather than be upset. The most consistent experience has been inconsistency. It is not that I don't get perfect service 100% of the time: I do not encounter great experiences even 50% of the time. As much I am looking forward to my eventual refund from your company, I really cannot recommend your service to anyone but my worst enemies. I would find it embarrassing to be in 'leadership' at T-Mobile, knowing the type of service your company has so consistently provided.

I cancelled T-Mobile service at the beginning of March 2016, after being with them since '08. There was always a service issue. From no service to dropped calls and most recent roaming charges. I made several calls over problems many times a year. That last few times they basically were rude to me and I told them I would be leaving them. They had gave me a free wi-fi router in 2015, and then wanted a $100 dollars if I didn't return it. I had to make 3 calls before they sent me a return label. And 3 calls for a final bill. They wouldn't prorate my last bill. I had to pay a for full month even though I closed my account at 6 days in. They claim it's in the contract about prorating a bill. I haven't signed a contract in years. Was that a lifetime contract? And now they won't send me a "paid in full" bill.

In-store sales person (Arlington, Texas, Lamar Boulevard store) told us when we upgraded to a better phone that we would received a "free" tablet but we now have to pay $169 for it, and that the final payments on the old phone would be waived but their salesperson (Kyle) lied and we now have to pay the balance on that in addition to full price on the new phone.
Customer Service says there is nothing they can do. Switched financial responsibility over to a family member, and they switched the service but not the cost of the phones (old phone plus new phone). The other person accepted financial responsibility- obviously since they are on a monthly service plan but T-Mobile basically said "Oops". Again say there's nothing they can do- pay up immediately full price on new phone plus balance on old phone, no other options. There are so many cell phone companies and most provide good service. Pick a better company. They claim to be the least expensive but they are really not. Don't let their advertising fool you.

Bought an inexpensive GSM device and basically came down to T Mobile or Straight Talk as the best and perhaps only compatible carriers. Got sim card and thought activation would be a fairly seamless easy process. It should be right? Go to the prepaid site, enter the info and numbers from the card and your device - voila. Should be good to go almost immediately. That was not my experience. I did that. I asked my tracfone number be ported in (my first mistake apparently). Picked plan, got confirmation email. But no phone service and no data yet.
I called and was told that the process could take 4-24 hours due to the port in. Had trouble calling because the FIRST thing the automated system wants is your T Mobile number. Apparently with a port in I was supposed to be given a "temporary" one but wasn't. So it kept not being able to find me. I finally get through to a live person who then didn't bother to transfer me, just gave me the number to the prepaid line. So again, deal with the automated system. Only to be transferred again to the port in department. Every rep just telling me it will take time. One rep however wanted to take me through the entire activation process again over the phone. I declined trying to be patient and let it process through.
Later that afternoon while at work, I got a phone msg saying to call them, there was a problem with my port in. I work until 10:30 PM. Tried to chat with support online but was on hold FOREVER and never got a rep. Next A.M. I decided to do just a new activation online with a NEW sim card & activation code (since the old one was now used) telling T Mobile to give me a new cell number. That seemed to go through, although after payment just went to a white screen. Concerning but may have been my PC. So after turning off and on and setting it up on my device, I am in business at least for now. Late yesterday I get another call telling me to call about the issue with my port in from the first attempt at activation.
After dealing with T Mobile for 2 hours earlier in the day, I felt like I had it with them already as a brand new customer. I explained to 3 diff reps (getting transferred again) that I just needed the first attempt at activation and port in cancelled so they would stop calling me about it. Due to outsourced language barriers, they didn't seem to fully comprehend. Finally got to a "transfer number specialist" who cancelled it. However, with the first activation I had picked a plan and paid. I notice on my credit card this AM that first payment did go through as I am sure my subsequent activation. Payment when I check tomorrow. Thank God I didn't do either activation with recurring payments set up yet. I may be out $30 for the first activation that messed up.
I should call their billing to get refunded but I am already so fed up talking to people from Philippines or wherever they are who can't seem to understand the issue. I just called to attempt to confirm they only show one activation and account for me and got nowhere. Ugh. As long as my service and my device works, I will grin and bear it. Contact their alleged "customer service" as little as possible - maybe never again. But any further issues and I am cancelling and going IN PERSON to Straight Talk to have them put in a sim card and activate me. Not a good way to start off with a customer.

However, when we got home and the whole time we were using our phone, half the time it wouldn't let the call go through. When it did go through, it would always drop the call even if I had full bars. My husband and I couldn't even call each other. We would be sitting right next to each other, trying it to see if it worked but nope. My phone would be ringing, trying to call him and his phone wouldn't even show that he was getting a call from me. He wasn't getting anything.
So once I found a new phone with a new company (Boost Mobile) I decided to drop T-Mobile. So when I called to cancel, I informed them of the crappy service I got. They said I would still need to pay for the month that I just used. So I did, which at first it was only 50 a month but every time I got the bill it was higher and higher. My last bill was $80. And get this, the next month, after my phone has already been shut off and I no longer used it ever, I received another bill for $84.98. So I called them and said that my phone has been shut off for a month and I haven't used it at all. They said well I needed to call them on the day it was supposed to be shut off and remind them. I informed them that that is their job and that I am not paying for something I didn't use. I went off on the lady for her rude customer service and hung up on them. I never did hear from them again.

Ever since I became a customer, they have been giving my husband and I problems. First, they did not give us our rebate back on our phones after promising us $600 dollars back when we first joined. They then suggested we go on easy pay, which we went for not knowing that if we didn't pay on the due date of easy pay (which is earlier than the normal due date) they would shut us off. We have asked many times for them to take us off easy pay and instead of listening to us they kept us on and kept shutting us off before our real payment date and making us pay reactivation fees. Even when we paid on the earlier date, they would shut us off stating that we never pay our bill on time. I find that funny since we have always paid on time just not the earlier date from easy pay.
Still after all of these problems we decided to stay hoping their customer service would get better. Boy were we wrong. In November of 2015, they shut us off again and told us that if we didn't pay both November and December they would shut us off completely. So we paid for both November and December. Then again in January they shut us off and said that we did not pay for December and that we had to pay both December and January. After explaining ourselves they finally waived the restoration fees and apologized for the inconvenience.
This February (2016), my husband and I had to take a trip to Europe to pick up his mother's remains. We made sure to call them to let them know that we will be out of the country and will have to pay the bill once we get back to the states. They shut us off anyway, leaving us stranded without a phone at the airport, even though the customer service representative told us that it would not be a problem. We had to call them while getting our suitcases and explain that we called ahead. They apologized and said they would waive the restoration fees. Our t-mobile bill always becomes higher each month. We have paid them around $2,000.00 since November of 2015. It is now March, and for our March bill they are making us pay $923.84.
When we called to ask them why is the bill so high? They keep bringing back December saying we missed a payment. We keep explaining that we have paid them this and they then blame the restoration fees they keep charging us (which is only $20 per line), and that we used international calling (which was only $17.50) and that makes up the $924.84. This does not make any sense at all. It would have been around the $400.00 not anywhere near $924.84. When we told them this the representative kept bringing up the same thing, international calls and restoration fees that they told us they would waive for the inconvenience for stranding us at the airport. After fighting with them, my husband and I decided to pay the cancellation fee and will be getting rid of them as soon as possible. If they can't explain why they are charging us these insane amounts, then I don't think they should even be a business.

T-Mobile is two tacos short of a combination plate. Their reasons make no sense and I can't argue with them because they are bonafide ignorant and stupid. I am glad to say that I have spoken to another cell phone provider who is willing to help me over.

T-Mobile is very misleading. You may not have contracts per se but you get equipment charges that may run you at least 2 years to pay off. And in the meantime your phones are locked. I got an Apple iPhone and a Galaxy smartphone and am now locked into paying off the equipment for 2 years. "READ THE FINE PRINT" and ask lots of questions. My best advice, go with Verizon.

Making mistakes are part of being a human being and since without human beings a company wouldn't exist, it is only fair that we expect them to make mistakes. The problem is when they pretend they don't make them. Let's take my experience with T-Mobile. My wife and I have been AT&T clients since iPhone 4 came to be. We never had any problem with them. Then, last November (2015), my wife insisted in changing to T-Mobile because a friend told her it was cheaper and better. We got the new iPhones through the Apple Store at International Mall in Tampa, Florida, with T-Mobile as the provider. The finance was done through T-Mobile, where we would be charged monthly for the phones. After 2 weeks with the new service, we decided to cancel T-Mobile service because it was terrible. Following the contract, we went back to Apple store asking to end our contract with T-Mobile and to get a new contract with AT&T.
Then the hell broke loose. We wanted to keep the phones, but at Apple Store we were told that those phones could work only with T-Mobile, so they would keep the ones we had (for T-Mobile) and give us new ones for the AT&T account. Apple gave us receipts for the devolution of the iPhones. But before, we're instructed to go to the T-Mobile store next door and pay for the total of the phones, under the assurance that we would get the money back in 3 days. A credit card number was given to charge for the total price of the 2 iPhones. After Apple had confirmed the transaction, we setup the new account with AT&T and received the new phones while they kept the old ones. After one week we called T-Mobile about the money devolution and we were told that it would take 10 days. Then in the next phone call it was 30 days. Then in the next it was 60 days.
Every time we would call, we had to explain the whole thing, again, because nobody had the faintest idea of what was going on. Finally by the middle of February (2016), T-Mobile sent us a letter saying that the money would be credited back to our credit card. And it was, but it was not the end of it. Then one week later, we received a letter from T-Mobile saying that we had to pay them back for the phones because there was no proof that we had give them back. I called them twice with no resolution. Then I called Apple and after a 3 way conversation with Apple representative confirming and showing the proof of it, it seemed that the case was solved. NO! Then we went to Apple store and one of their employees, named Chris, took his time to talk to one of the T-Mobile supervisors by phone, in front of us, giving him the number of the documents as proof. You would think that this would solve the case, but not.
Three day later, we received a letter by a collection agency charging the amount and, of course, threatening to damage our credit if we didn't pay. My last call was to T-Mobile where I talked to a supervisor who told me there was no register in their system that we gave the phones back and she would give me the most lame excuses when I asked why T-Mobile was charging us the money when they just credit the money back to our credit card. I saw in the interface of this page that I can and should add receipt and images regarding the case, but I don't see any point in doing it because they did talk directly to Apple and it didn't work. My guess as a web developer is that they have some sort of computer problem, and they will never admit it. But the worst part is that they are do not even try to delete this information to their system.

My account had International calling added in 2014 without my knowledge. They stated it was added by an app from T-mobile. I have never used an app for T-mobile and I wish you would send me a copy that shows I downloaded the app for my verification. I have been a customer of yours for 17 years and never thought to look for a new charges on my phone for service upgrades that I did not order. I never thought this would happen. If you have the ability to check my account you will find I have never used international calling.
I call in once a year to see what I can do to save money on my bill and not one account rep asked if I wanted to cancel this option I did not order. The first time I heard about this addition is today when I called and asked the question, "what can I do to cut my bill for my telephone?" That is the first time I heard that I even had international calling. They told me they would credit my bill for 3 months of 15 a month but would not do any credit back to 2014 when they said I ordered this option using an app.
I may be at fault for not seeing this on my bill but I have another person in charge of paying that bill and how would they even know to look when I didn't order it.This is the first time in 17 years I have had a problem with T-mobile and it is very hard for me to understand why this should happen when I didn't even order this option with an app or email. I do everything over the phone locally that I pay T-mobile monthly for. I do not even know people that are international unless you qualify Canada as international and I do not think you do. If Canada is international I will shut up and never speak of this again. A reply would be appropriate to hear from a company I have been doing business with for the last 17 years.

My bill has gone up $22.00 a month since I been with them.
Now I have to wait to see if they pay my Verizon ETF's before I pay off my phone so I can switch. This is just wrong. They have lied since the beginning.

I have been a t-mobile customer for 9 years. Things started going down hill about 2 years ago. 1. My son was deployed to Japan, we had been paying for his phone and 4 others, his showed up with charges for T.V. We left it on only to find out when he returned stateside and we questioned him about the charges. He told us he never ordered it and could not use it. We contacted T-Mobile and got a sorry credit for just 3 month. 2. One person on my account went to purchase a phone and was told she would pay no more for the phone than the amount she paid that day. 3. Another went to purchase a phone and was told that if he turned in his old phone it would give him credit that would pay the old one off.
In case 1 and 2 these were boldface lies! The sales rep knew that another party was paying the bill. It was discovered Christmas 2015 when we all got together. 4. Multiple requests had been made to have the insurance removed from the phones. One in particular upon purchasing the phone we were told it came with its own insurance, so I wanted to make sure "again" that there was no additional insurance charge on the phone. 'Oh yes no problem. I will take care of it'. No credit was ever received for the promise of three months back (it was the best they could do) and insurance still remains in place after a call just 4 days ago.
After being on the phone yet again, this time voicing my disgust of the fraudulent practices of the sales people and the amount I have paid in unapproved insurance charges over the years they offered me a embarrassing 385.00 dollars. I denied but requested a call from someone besides a supervisor. Yeah that never happened. So the saga continues. Maybe it's time to call the attorney general.

I called T-Mobile to discuss the two day outage that occurred recently. I spoke with a women Christina and she offered me a $50 credit. As a small business owner who lost much business in those two days, I thought the credit should be more and asked to speak with a supervisor. I spoke with Samantha ** and she told me that I would not get any more of a credit, and as a matter of fact, I would only get $25 because I didn't accept the $50 when offered. I thought that was crazy because I had questions regarding the outage that they would downgrade their original offer. I asked to speak to her supervisor and she said that she was it and there was no one in the building with more authority. I was Verizon customer for 17 years and have never dealt with such a rude attitude. I told her I would switch back to Verizon, and she said just to go to a Verizon store and they would buy me out of my plan.
They would rather lose a customer than stand by what they offered in the first place. She was very nasty. I hung up and called back. I spoke with Latasha ** and explained my situation. She immediately credited me $50 and was as pleasant as could be. I still feel they should credit more but at least she stood by what was originally stated. T-Mobile supervisors should really be more concerned with customer service, especially Samantha **.

I have been dealing with T-Mobile for months regarding my cell phone service and amount due. The last straw was when I finally was making way and a Representative from the Executive Office reached out to me to step in and assist - I thought I was getting resolution. What I received was a false conversation, via phone and email and once they concluded I heard "well we have only a short time to get a response to the BBB so are we agreeing to the arrangement." Once I said yes I no longer heard from them and didn't get the arrangement agreed on. Not only did they lie to me, my PHONES AND TABLETS got shut off. I have 3 phones and 2 tablets with T-MOBILE. I have much loyalty behind the company but the loyalty isn't being given back to me as a customer.
On top of this complaint my phone service is still acting the same way. I called in several times to tech support and the agent couldn't hear me or the call was dropped in between. Then today, 02-16-16 when I pulled up my account, it had an arrangement that I didn't make so they are fraudulently applying a payment without my request and I am not set up on ABP. When I called in the agent couldn't hear me. I had to hang up and call again but the agent dialed me first, still couldn't hear me until she tried the 2nd time. So stealing my payment account information, not submitting my payment, redoing my payment arrangement for a different amount without my consent and causing my services to be interrupted...

I did after the last couple of years, with me not having service in basic areas, my internet not working, when it should and them constantly advertising that their 4G service was/is expanding was not accurate.
I switched over to Verizon because I always heard from people how great their coverage was and service with Verizon. I cancelled my service with T-Mobile a week or so before my bill was due. I then get a bill for the full amount of that billing cycle, when I should have to pay only a partial amount. When I call customer service to rectify this, they state that because I ended my service abruptly, in their words, that I still have to pay the full amount. This is ridiculous.

They did such as the following: when a phone that was still under contract didn't work they'd say they were sending a "brand new" replacement phone... very clearly this is what they'd say and then they'd send a "refurbished" phone instead that had inherent problems.
When I complained of "dead" areas where calls couldn't be received they told me at least 3 different times they were going to have an "engineer" do a study and I'd call back 1-2-4 months later and these studies would be reported back to me as not only never being done but never being "ordered". Another example... stated they were going to send me a "cellphone signal booster" then later said I had to return it because I lived in a condo and it would scramble the signals for EM 911 services and they would not be able to locate where the 911 calls were coming from... then months later, a customer service person stated that that wasn't true and told me he was sending me another signal booster... IT THEN TOOK 9 MONTHS for that 2nd SIGNAL BOOSTER to arrive! It arrived 1 day before my contract expired!
Then the "engineer" who was to do the "signal studies" then showed up at my door without a appointment also a couple days before by contract expired! Total INCOMPETENCE!

They made me feel as though they were protecting the thief and treated me as if I had done something wrong.

At the beginning of Oct. 2015, I purchased a replacement phone Iphone 5c. The phone didn't have a SIM card and wouldn't charged. I returned the phone within 24 hours and called 2 weeks after I returned it and received confirmation the phone was in the warehouse and I would be credited for the phone in 3 weeks. I called in three weeks and said they haven't received the phone. I gave them the tracking number again. The confirmed it was there and I will receive credit within 7 days. The long calls to follow up on this have occurred monthly for 5 months. Eventually, they would just say "the phone hasn't been received and isn't in the warehouse."
I have spent HOURS trying to resolve this. In January '16, I threatened to report them to the BBB and hire a lawyer. Miraculously, the week following I received a text message on my phone that the package was NOW in the warehouse. The text said within 7 days I would received credit for the phone within 3-7 days. It is now 3 weeks later and my bill is still showing I owe for the phone and I have not been credited. BE VERY, VERY, VERY CAUTIOUS IN WORKING WITH T-MOBILE. I tried them because their monthly fees are cheaper than anyone. NOT WORTH IT! Go with a reputable cell phone company.

Wanted to simply remove a line from my family plan. Looked around online and it was impossible to do so I tried to chat with a representative using online chat. I complained that it was easy to add a line from their website and I thought that they should also be able to remove a line using the same website. They said that I had to call a phone number to cancel. I called the number and waited. Finally it said I could leave a message and someone would call me back in 8-13 minutes. Well, in about a half hour my phone rang, but it was an automated message which put me on hold and apologized that no one was currently available.
After a long wait, a human answered and said that she could not cancel my line, but would transfer me to another department. I was again put on hold. While on hold, to add insult to injury, a recording kept repeating stating that I would be able to find answers to my problem on the internet at www.t-mobile.com or to wait online for the next representative. This kept replaying for what seemed like forever, so long that I had to recharge my phone. At this stage of the game, there was no option to leave a message and receive a callback. My time was being further wasted by this horrible company. As of the writing of this review I have been trying to cancel this line for over an hour and a half. That is not right.

It's bad enough I deal with a crappy service everyday after they look up your zip code and say "Oh yeah you have GREAT service in your area", BS. So my phone bill has been $98. I call to pay my bill tonight and it's $106. The representative tells me oh you're paying for your phone. I say "No, I pay for my phone every month and it's $98", so she hangs up on me. I call back and another representative says it because you've signed up for a warranty which I know NOTHING about so she transfers me to the billing department which they are now saying it's because I was sent another phone and I am paying for the shipping fee which I have had the same phone since I personally went to the store and picked up the phone on my own.
So I asked to speak to a manager. The CSR left me on hold for about 5 minutes which it was now 12 midnight at the time they close. She gets back on the phone and says "Give me 1 second I'm getting the manager... Oh by the way, ummm..." then the phone just hangs up. so of course I can't call back because it's after 12 and they're closed. So needless to say, there will be HELL with T-Mobile in the morning and I will also be seeing how it works to switch to Sprint. I'm tired of this ** company!

I cancelled my account with T-Mobile. A supervisor told me since it was only 1 day in my billing cycle that they would prorate it. Come to find out that wasn't true. I was with T-Mobile for 10 years and they charged me for a whole month and I only used one day of the billing period when I cancelled my contract. A week later, I received another bill from T-Mobile stating that I owed them for the whole month or they were going to turn it over to a collection agency. I'm glad I left T-Mobile and I will never go back. Be careful of T-Mobile, they will lie and do you the same way. Everyone be aware of T-Mobile scams. FYI.

OMG! I will NEVER deal with the incompetent T-Mobile again. On 01/26/16, I ordered a phone for my mom because she already has T-mobile and wanted to keep her same number & minutes. It seems T-mobile's website is so antiquated that when asked if mailing address is different than billing address, I clearly put yes and added my mother's address, who lives in another state. Well, after I received a confirmation email, I noticed that both addresses were the same, MINE. I immediately called them to fix this because why should I pay for shipping twice? They said they were unable to do anything because it hadn't showed up on their system and I should call back in a few hours after it showed up. Fair enough.
However, 2 hours later, I was told the only way you could change the address was after it was sent out and when UPS gets it and sends me an email, I will have the option to change it. Sounded kinda troublesome to me because supposed I didn't respond to the email in time? So I decided to just cancel and reorder. Simple enough. Even though the rep said he would cancel it, I never received a confirmation so I called and was surprised to find out that it was too late to cancel even though I called immediately after I ordered. So it looks like I was going to be forced to go through UPS after all to make my changes.
Then I found out that it cost to change the shipping location which T-mobile failed to tell me about so I just decided to refuse the order. I was told I would receive a refund 7 to 10 business days after they receive it and after about 2 weeks, whaddayaknow, no refund. So T-mobile had to launch an investigation as to why I had not received my refund which would take another 7 to 10 business days. LOL Unbelievable.
Due to T-Mobile's antiquated website that can't accept address changes and not being able to either make a change or cancel an order within a few minutes of ordering, I am stuck with paying interest on an item I never had possession of because they are taking their own sweet time refunding my money. SMH On a good note, I found the same phone at Best Buy for $60 less and hooray, they allow you to put in a different address and she got it only 2 days after T-mobile promised she'd receive theirs. I cannot believe the incompetence of this company and I WILL NEVER BUY ANYTHING ONLINE OR OTHERWISE FROM T-MOBILE AGAIN!!!

Like all the other reviews it seems T-Mobile is lacking in customer service knowledge compared to what seemed like a sales group who knew their product initially. When I transferred from AT&T, T-Mobile did not via the transfer, cancel my account with AT&T. I specifically asked if I needed to cancel and two reps said "no it would automatically be cancelled." So now I am being dinged by the two carriers for two weeks who are pointing fingers at each other. It took me four calls today to each carrier and several hours to try and get this resolved in order to turn in a final bill for the reimbursements from T-Mobile for switching.
Rep #4 was supposed to call me back later today and confirm that the issue was corrected, but of course that never happened. In addition, I needed to cancel a tablet service because husband received a new tablet from work which is now on his biz account. Rep #8 started to badger me about the cancellation since it was a new account. Obviously if I known of the new situation I would not have transferred the service on this device. Now I understand why another rep when I opened the account told me to go into the store to turn in the final bill and phone "because it will be taken care on the spot." Anyway, I can only hope I never have to call in for customer service in the future.

I have been a customer of T-Mobile for over a year. When I bought my first phone my contract stated that I was purchasing the phone with 4G LTE unlimited text and calls. The sales rep checked the tower map for my area and assured me I would have great connectivity. Unfortunately, the sales rep neglected to tell me there is only one tower in the town where I live and it is 2G. Needless to say, my phone began dropping my calls and after many calls to T-Mobile I was told that a new 4G tower would be installed in my area within the next month. That was in February of 2015.
Once again I was back to calling T-Mobile, being asked for the same information repeatedly and being given a different explanation. I thought the problem was finally solved when I was sent a personal cell spot. Alas, it has not helped.
Last night, I received a call from a T-Mobile "supervisor" and was told the problem was found to be with the cell spot and not the phone. Rubbish. T-Mobile is the problem. They have not upgraded the tower in my area so there is no effective service. I am sick of talking with reps who tell me they have fixed the phone problem. I am sick at being passed from one rep to another and having to give out the same personal information to each one. T-Mobile is a waste of time and money.

First, T-Mobile mistaken charge someone credit paid my bill, so balance to $0.00 back in Sept 2015. I called the customer support to cancel that payment, so I paid with my own credit card. Bill was normal showing in Oct, then Nov 2015, bill add extra $185, why? I don't know. Call T-Mobile and went into local store, NO HELP, claimed $185 extra was charge from Sept payment that I did not pay. T-Mobile store manager told me to pay the amount subtract $185 first, give it some time to fix it. Guess what happen in Dec bill? Same, extra $200 now to my bill. Called customer support talk to two supervisors, NO HELP. Supervisors from financial department, or whatever, maybe just pretend or claimed his the supervisor. The 1st supervisor I spoke to, DOES NOT stop talking, DOES NOT let me talk, I told him I know all these numbers from my bill, I just want to know, HOW IS THIS NUMBER ADDED to my bill?
My bank statement show payment or transaction processed, and completed. He keep talking, I never has a chance to speak, so why waste time talking to him. 2nd supervisor (named David), sound like ** to me, at beginning he keeping talking, until I told STOP for few times. He DOES NOT want to look up my account want to solve my issue, instead keep saying I MUST pay the bill. I know I must pay the bill, but why you charge me extra. I told him I have my bank statement printed to proof to the payment was made and completed. No chance he can explain. Claimed my bank make a mistake.
Wow...who mistake was that at the beginning on Sept bill? I asked him for his extension so I will have my bank to talk to him, of course he chicken to give me his number. So, no point continue talking to **, who happen to be a useless supervisor. If I could have remember his last name, I will post it here. ** gave me this REFUND FORM # **. Said the refund was made and take 3-5 business day to completed. If I believe 3-5 business, for two months, my bank statement would show that in the transaction.
Couple weeks later, I tried another T-Mobile store for help, hoping someone can solve this. A nice gentleman recommend me to go directly to T-Mobile corporate store. I went to corp. store. The manager there told me the store ONLY do is sell their products. They cannot fix bill or correct bill. So, who else can I show my bank statement that there isn't a refund. The corp store manager told me to call 611 on my mobile phone. That is the only way they can fix my bill. I called, first assistant wasn't in patience, transferred me to another assistant because he explain why I have extra charge on the phone bill. I told him I paid. I want this resolve to correct this number. I know where all these numbers in my head and where they come from, from which date of transaction. I know them all. All I want is to find out why T-Mobile stated I didn't pay the bill.
Last second, before I was transferred, I heard the gentlemen said "gosh" on the phone. T-Mobile have recorded every conversation I called, whoever I talked to, he/she should have recorded and write in case. That's why the gentlemen wasn't patience enough when a lot of records from my case. Well then, a lady help me over the phone and explain very well, so then I understand why I didn't get the refund, and T-Mobile charge me for that refund. The lady then correct my bill, and have me paid the bill without the extra. I thought everything is fix.
Jan 2016, I was surprise. Again, same extra to my bill, and including late fee too. What is going on with T-Mobile? I called 611 again, and T-Mobile financial department wanted me to fax them my bank statement. Two days later, I faxed some bank statement to the number provided, but number was not an active fax number. I called 611 again, another assistant going to help me again and said the fax number is giving only through email. I waited a day, nothing in my email from T-Mobile. I called 611 again, then a helper told me it takes 3-5 days to receive the email with fax number. I waited and waited, what is this.
It is Feb 2016 now. Should I keep waiting? Is T-Mobile employees there actually working or just playing with customer bill. I have all my documents copied. If I have to go through with lawsuit, I can provide every document and proof. I am sick and tired of this BS with T-Mobile. Since Sept 2015 I always worried why is my phone cost so much. Should I just be unfair, change to another cellular company and nothing paying anything to T-Mobile?

In August 2015, I started getting my cell phone service from T-Mobile. When we defined the service contract T-Mobile asked me if I wanted to have my phone insured; I thought that would be a good idea and decided to sign on for the insurance. At the time I did not know that the insurance was not provided directly by T-Mobile, but by a third-party insurance company, Assurant Solutions. At the beginning of November I accidentally dropped my phone on the toilette, it suffered water damage and stopped working. I went to the T-Mobiles branch located at 601 Valencia St, San Francisco, CA, where with the help of a customer representative, **, contacted the Assurant Solutions and made the arrangements to get a replacement device and send them the damaged device.
A couple of days later I received correspondence from Assurant Solutions containing a replacement phone together with instructions to send the damaged phone to them (see the letter sent together with this). The instructions specifically indicated these steps: Place the damaged device, including the battery, inside the enclosed U.S. Mail (postage-paid) first-class envelope. Deposit the sealed envelope in your home mailbox or any official U.S. Postal Service mailbox. I followed these steps to the letter; I took the sealed envelope to the US Post Office branch located at 1590 Bryant St and dropped the phone in a mailbox there. Approximately on November the 20th, I got a letter from Assurant Solutions, indicating that they had not received the device, and that if I did not return it in a given amount of time, I was going to be penalized.
At that moment, I called Assurant Solutions and explained to them the above facts. They were emphatic and told me that if they did not receive the phone, I was going to have to pay for it. I then started interacting as well with T-Mobile Customer Service. Unlike the representatives of Assurant Solutions, T-Mobile representatives have been consistently courteous and efficient. However, they have not been able or willing to deal with the situation on their side, and after many interactions, they are charging me $449.50 in my T-Mobile bill. T-Mobile position is that the issue is between me and Assurant Solutions and that they cannot do anything about it. However, they are the ones charging me the $449.50 and told me that my account may be suspended and sent to collections if I don't pay.
My position is the following. I acquired insurance to cover the risk of losing or damaging my phone and not having to worry about it. Unfortunately my phone was damaged and I felt lucky that I had decided to pay for the insurance. I followed exactly the instructions they gave me and somehow the US Postal Service lost the package, or it was stolen somewhere along the way. My mistake was to follow the instructions literally, and not taking the precaution of paying more to the USPS to send the package via certified mail. However, I HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING WRONG, and since I did exactly what the attached letter told me to do, I am not responsible for the fact that the phone was lost by the USPS or stolen somewhere else along the way to the insurance company warehouse.
What is happening seems clear to me. The insurance company is minimizing the cost for them, by asking the customer to send the phone via first-class mail, rather than via certified mail, and also by asking the customer to use the USPS instead of more reliable services such as UPS or FedEx. By minimizing the cost for them in these simple aspects, Assurant Solutions is putting the risk they are supposed to cover on the customers that are paying for their services, knowing that if, as in this case, a device is lost, they will try to make the customer to pay for it rather than they assuming their responsibility.

So, my only other option was to purchase a new phone worth only 1/3 of what I originally paid for my phone, and it wasn't even a Galaxy (which is why it was so cheap). Why was I even paying insurance? It would make sense if I paid the deductible and got a current Samsung Galaxy, but nope.

I switched cell phone carriers to T-Mobile and was told that there was no contract and that they would pay off my phones from my prior carrier. They took my 2 phones and told me once I submitted my last bill they would mail out a gift card for the amount to pay my prior carrier. After submitting my last bill I never received that promised gift card. I figured it was just running late and gave them more time. I was with T-Mobile about 3-4 months when I finally switched services to another carrier. T-Mobile had horrible service and I wouldn't receive calls or texts half the time. Sometimes I would get a text days after it was originally sent. The Internet also worked off and on. I was paying nearly $200 a month and for that amount the service was definitely not worth it.
When I contacted T-Mobile about the gift card they told me they canceled reimbursement because I switched carriers. Mind you they also took my 2 phones and refused to give those back as well. They promised to pay those phones off and said there was no contract. That is a lie. There is a contract. If you switch they won't give you what they owe you. They are Liars and thieves. They kept my phones and I am now in debt to the previous carrier. Regardless of if I switched the original agreement was that they would pay the phones off. I would have never gave them my phones if I knew they would pull this. I trusted this company only to be spit on. Do yourself a favor and avoid them at all costs and tell everyone you know never to do business with them. You'll save yourself money and a headache and get better coverage elsewhere.

To make a long story short, I went into the umpteenth T-Mobile store to try and solve my service issues and the representative at the store told me that a lot of people were having trouble with the Galaxy S6 Edge and that I should get a different phone. I took his advice and got a Note 5. The situation didn't get any better even after I paid for a cell spot which is basically a cell tower in your home.
A couple months later, the service issues were resolved by a customer service rep in Missouri. Not too much later, I notice that I was getting charged every month for two phones. When I went in there that day I only got a different phone because I was getting crap service. I gave them my other phone.

The guy who inspected my phone at T-Mobile said that my phone was under warranty and that I only had to pay a $5 processing fee. After a month, I received a letter saying that I need to pay $400 because my charger port was messed up (Totally unrelated to my problem). I called customer service to get this fixed because it was not fair that they send me this letter when I was told, with proof, papers stating that I will not pay anything except $5 for the warranty exchange processing.
When I called customer service, nobody was really willing to listen to my problem and kept saying "we cannot do anything about it, you will have to pay the 400"... If I knew that I had to pay $400, I would have never sent my phone (which wasn't completely defective, I just had trouble with messaging). I don't even believe my charger port was damaged because I never had problems charging, but for them to charge me 400 for that is just ridiculous. My bill for this month was $660. This company is just horrible, horrible and I recommend choosing some other company which won't take your money. I've been a T-Mobile customer for a long time, and I am thinking of switching to Sprint.

I went and exchanged a device because my husband wanted something different. The device I got was cheaper than the previous one. I was owed the difference. They did not have the money in their cash drawer so I was told that I had to be sent a refund check. Well make a long story short, I did not receive the check. T-Mobile Store rep told me to call customer service which I did and no one could tell me where or what happened to the check. I was told by a supervisor to dispute the charge with my bank. I called my bank to dispute the charge and they gave me a temporary credit.
A few months later the bank took back the credit they gave me and stated that my claim got denied because T-Mobile told them I was not owed a refund. I continued to call T-Mobile and my bank to see what I needed to do to get my refund. The bank finally gave me the money back and took a loss because T-Mobile would not refund the money to my bank. This was the worst experience I have ever had. I was with T-Mobile for 11 years and had to experience this mess. I was very unhappy and cancelled my service because of the poor customer service.

Very disappointed in the T-Mobile of 410. Poor customer service skills. Their store manager and their Assistant manager suck. They don't know how to listen to the customer. I made a complete with customer's care and I'm waiting for their boss to call me back. Never go to a non-authorities dealer.

So to the point I needed a work phone for on the road, so I asked for a 2gb plan, she decided to charge me for a 6gb plan which is 20 dollar more. Also I was only supposed to be charged 127.16 and I was charged 169.34.

Remember all the lovely commercials over the holidays for Christmas 2015? "Trade in your phone and get a Samsung Galaxy S6 for $0 a month (or $10 a month) Free tablet... Trade in your iPhone for the iPhone6s for $5 (or $15 a month) with Jump on Demand" (depending on what phone you had to trade). THEY ARE NOT HONORING THESE PLANS.
In my personal insurance, T-Mobile said they'd charge me $14/mo for the Galaxy and $30/mo for the iPhone 6s. When you tell them the correct price, (that they fully know well, like anyone else who owns a TV) they ask if you have any paperwork to prove it. Of course you don't have it. Because they disguise it as a credit... THAT YOU NEVER END UP GETTING. Sounds familiar? You agree to pay $27.50 on the phone call, the rep tells you to just say you agree even though the amount is wrong because that amount is before the credit. Then you have NO PROOF ON PAPER. HOW CONVENIENT FOR THEM. They think these things out. They know what they're doing. They must be stopped. Before this issue I had several others... Since day one, it's been a nightmare doing business with these people.
This billion dollar company lost my $150 security deposit, lost my port numbers leaving me with a new number and immeasurable lost business opportunities that were tied to that old number, charged me the security deposit a second time, and when I complained, they used my own money that I paid the first time (that they found when I showed them my bank statements) to PAY the second charge (instead of removing it like they were supposed to). So the bill looks good!! I was so happy with the guy handling the case because it seemed like he fixed everything. You don't find out until a year later when you attempt to get your deposit back that it's gone and too late for you to do anything about it. The company offered me a $10 loyalty credit per month for as long as stayed with T-Mobile because of several complaints and phone calls I've had to make over the year. Rep said- "My notes say 6 months".
They lie, lie, lie until the cows come home to get you satisfied while you're on the phone, but put completely different information in your notes. I'm sick and tired of spending time calling them every month, being overcharged (so much that in 1 month, they drained my account almost $700, but they don't want to pay your overdraft fees when they pull crap like that). All I got them to do was reverse the charge and fix 1/3 of the problems with the bill. This is the 7th phone call I've had to make in 6 weeks. Is that necessary? With T-Mobile it is.
I want this company to pay for their lies and tyranny. We can no longer sit by and let them steal good Americans' hardworking money. We must rise up, fight back, and sue the pants off these thieves until they learn not to scam, lie, and cheat their customers. This UN-carrier and their plan and rate quotes are UNbelievable. This UN-carrier is dirty and UNderhanded in their business character. This UN-carrier's rates are UNreal and a fraud.

I transferred my 4 lines from AT&T to T-Mobile on 12/19/15 and I regret doing that. I have called T-Mobile more several times about data usage. First my billing cycle was between 12/20 - 1/19. So all my 4 lines had 6 gig of data until 1/20. On 1/20, T-Mobile reset my cycle back to 1/8 - 2/7 meaning that the data we used between 1/8 and 1/20 was counted against my 4 lines twice. T-Mobile is cheating people on their data and I won't be surprised to see a class action lawsuit on T-Mobile down the road.
What really broke the camel's back was when twice they hang up on me when I asked to speak to a manager. This put a really bad taste in my mouth. I wish I could move back to AT&T without paying so much but I think I am stuck with T-Mobile for a while. I am paying T-Mobile in return for cell service and I don't think customer service reps realizes that their paycheck comes from customers they serve.

I want to take a moment to say I'm very pleased with T-Mobile. I have been with them for many years after leaving sprint because of ongoing billing errors. Anytime I have had a problem all have gone above and beyond to provide me complete customer service and resolution. As long as their customer service remains as is especially at the call center I will continue to recommend them to everyone I know and continue service with them.
I had a rep at the store in alafaya change my plan which no longer existed to get the sale on an upgrade. After I clearly told him if upgrading my phone with them will change my plan I'll pass and just purchase unlocked somewhere else. He guaranteed me my plan didn't change. I repeated it to him like 3 times. When I got home excited with my new phone I get a message saying I went over on data and my speed would decrease. I never received a message like that. So I went online to check my plan and not only did he change my unlimited data plan to 5 my plan increased 20.00. I almost died. I really trusted the T-Mobile rep.
I called customer service. They said they couldn't change the plan back. It no longer exists. That they can give me a 10.00 monthly credit. I was so disgusted I sent an email to corporate letting them know I was going to return the phone and disconnect my service with T-Mobile. I received a call 2 days later from a supervisor who gave me my plan back and added a 300.00 credit to use to pay the new phone I upgraded to. I did confront the rep in the store. He was speechless but apologized and was professional and since then all reps have been professional.

Yes, it was my bad for not updating my address at their site the last time we moved, but I expected to hear: "No problem, we'll overnight you a phone for free." Oh no. They're waiting for the delivery service to return the phone to them, then they'll refund us the cost of the phone (cancel our month-to-month essentially), and they're done. If we want another phone, we have to stand in line at the store or order online again. My husband said, "Hey, we've been customers for 15 years and we just bought an $800 phone, you're sure you can't waive the shipping on another phone?" "No, sir."
Updated on 1/20/2016: Addendum to my previous note: when we informed T-Mobile that they had delivered our new phone to a previous address, they told us to call the manager of that apartment and find out what happened to it. That person may or may not be able to find the phone (UPS left it at the door of the building). In the meantime, T-Mobile won't reimburse us for the lost phone until they receive it. If this apartment manager can't locate the phone, or if the resident in our previous apartment accepted the package and has the phone but won't cop to it, T-Mobile won't get their phone back - and I'm going to eat the cost of it (about $800 on top of the cost of another phone). Not to sound like a whiner, but this doesn't seem fair!

In September of 2015, my husband and I traded in our iPhone 6 for the new iPhone 6's through T-Mobile's JUMP trade-in program. T-Mobile sent out new phones along with prepaid envelopes and packaging to return the old iPhone 6 to their warehouse. We complied with all directions and sent each iPhone 6 separately in its own packaging. One of the phones made it to the warehouse and we were credited to our account. The other phone, however, which was sent at the EXACT same time was supposedly never received by T-Mobile. The pre-paid envelopes did not have a tracking number and there is no way to find where the package was last. I have made many inquiries to T-Mobile, who have "searched" their warehouse and are unable to locate the missing phone.
It has now been four months of ongoing futile communications with T-Mobile and they continue to bill my account for the missing phone. If they remain unable to help find my phone, I will be out of pocket $324.96. I was provided with an RMA number by T-Mobile which was present on the packaging, however, there is no way for USPS to see if it is a mistake on their end. Assurant Solutions (who T-Mobile uses for insurance) has also refused to help me file a claim. Where is my phone, T-Mobile? Did the post office lose it or someone steal it? Was it missed being scanned in the warehouse or did an employee steal it? Surely there is a way to track the phone's IMEI number outside the warehouse if the phone WAS stolen and currently in use. I do not think there will be a resolution to my problem as I am sent in circles every time I call T-Mobile.

When I first started T-Mobile, I had metro. I was debating whether I want to go T-Mobile or AT&T. With T-Mobile I don't have to stay in contract and there's no limits on anything so I picked that. I asked the worker there "will I be charged if I don't pay my bill on time" & he replied "No". He told me for each phone added to my line will be $10 each and so I have 5 lines (family plan) for $110 for 2gb I believe.
Later on, we added one more line to it so it was $120. However, when my sister went over to add that line, the worker changed all of our data to 2.5gb and somehow our bill came up to be over 300. I was really pissed about it. I went over to the store and talked to them about it. I told them that we never say we want the 2.5gb plan but they just added without letting us know so when I checked the bill, it was so high. They then solved it and it went down to $209. We been paying $209 since then.
Until the beginning of this month, I feel like $209 is a little bit too much so I did my math and I then remembered the guy told me that for each added, it will be $10. Since we only have 5 lines then it should be $110 since 4 lines for $100 and with 5 lines then it's supposed to be $110. I called the company and talked to them about it. The guy told me that the reason I was charged $120 was because they have the new plan which is 6 lines for $120 with 2.5gb and even though we only have 5 lines it will still be the same unless I only want the 5 lines for $110 with 2gb only. I told him that's what I want so he fixed it and he also take out the JUMP plan (I feel like this plan is useless) and it went own to $184, which is a huge different. And while talking to him, he told me that if I don't pay my bill within at least 10 days or so, they will charge additional to get my phone back to service, which is $23 per phone.
What pissed me off about this is that as I mention up there, when I asked the guy will I be charge or anything if I pay late and he clearly said no, which is a lie!!! Another thing was that they changed my plan rate without telling me!!! T-Mobile needs to train their worker more. AND be more honest with customers because I feel like they just want money from customers and I also heard a lot of people said that as well.

When I went back to pay it the full charge of $172 was due according to him because they forward dated it instead of back dated. And if they backdated it I would be subject to double charges.

I am yelling at her to keep the service on for the next month as they took payment and she says "well, I will have to transfer you to customer service as I deactivated service." After chewing her out she says "ok you have service till the next month."
TERRIBLE customer service and does not refund even if they cancel your service. She was going to shut my phone down after charging my account today for the next month and not give me any money back. THAT IS THEIR POLICY. Awful policy. Never go with a company with a policy like that!!! Verizon has always refunded when we cancelled service on a phone as you are charged a month ahead and they ALWAYS HAVE PRORATED IT AND REFUNDED. We are now going to AT&T due to our area coverage and we will see how they are.

Saw all the ads that they had doubled coverage areas and thought they might finally cover our area... Website states work and home were in 4G LTE coverage, sales rep verified address as well. When we got phones I only activated one of the five phones and had no cell coverage at all. I called and cancelled account. They said since we cancelled same day we would not have a bill. We sent the 4 unopened phones back (plus the SIM card for my phone). We got a refund on the money paid upfront BUT have since gotten two bills showing I owe them over $200... I have been reassured from countless people that the account shows a zero balance and nothing else would be due.
Today I get a call from a collection agency stating I owe them $236... Upon getting a hold of T-Mobile (6 different people today) each assuring me that the account has now been reverse to $0 but no body will provide it in writing. Same thing I have heard for last couple months... stating I have to wait for next billing cycle. Run, don't walk from T-Mobile. They will say whatever it takes to get you to sign up and then there is no follow through.

I returned a new phone due to not charging. They sent me another phone the next day, that phone did not charge either. I sent it back and then they said I owe them 1200 for damaged phones. I am like beside myself, after a week of combat with them they said "oh, you did not damage the second phone." Their repair facility I found out does this to hundreds of people even though you have the coverage. Beware. I found a website with hundreds of complaints like mine.

So, thinking I would do the good fatherly deed and get our son a new phone, I ordered the Galaxy S6 from T-Mobile on December 7. On Christmas, our son opened the outside package and, much to my dismay, I had ordered the S6 but he wanted the S5 Note. So today he went to exchange the phone at the T-Mobile store, and they said they couldn't exchange it because I had ordered it online. So when our son contacted T-Mobile by phone, they said they could NOT exchange the phone because it could only be exchanged within 14 days of purchase.
When I explained that he had only opened the outside box - and has still not opened the box around the phone - the "Customer Loyalty" person said that did not matter and that I could go and sell the phone myself if I wanted. In other words, if you buy a phone as a gift for a loved one for Christmas, Hanukkah, or a birthday, they won't be able to exchange the phone for one they want if you bought it more than 14 days prior to Christmas, Hanukkah, or the birthday. I paid T-Mobile OVER $3,500 last year for our four lines and the data plans, and told the "Customer Loyalty" person that I wanted to cancel our service if they refused to make the exchange. She said they refused and my son is now on the way to Verizon to sign up our 4 lines with them. I was a 20-year customer with T-Mobile, but I recommend you don't do business with them - or never give a phone as a gift. They truly ruined our Christmas.

This is the worst company I have ever dealt with. I changed phone companies and first they didnt explain the billing cycle to me then when I called them about the remaining balance they told me that I owed that and I was thinking it's a prepaid phone, how would I have a balance. So I told the rep who apparently wasn't listening that I would pay it on the first of the following month and when I called to do that they had already sent it to a collection agency, which upset me so I called them directly and their comment was when they close an account they automatically send the bill to collections. I told them that was not fair and that could go on one's credit. Got no comment about that. They dont care, so be sure that you get everything in writing and make sure you get whoever you're talking to their name. I dont want this to happen to anyone else.

Switched to Sprint at the end of July, 2015. Received 4 prepaid American Express cards from Sprint in late September to pay off the balance owed for 4 phones, 1 for $149, 1 for $207, and 2 for $243. October 17th, went to T-Mobile Store 7705 to pay off the phones and the $299 usage fee. Clerk swiped 1 card. I signed the terminal. Clerk swiped 2nd card. I signed the terminal. 3rd card swiped and the system locked up. I was told the money would be put back on the cards within 24 hours and was given the 800 number to call. I waited until Oct. 26th to call. Only 1 card, the unswiped one, had a balance. The others were declined with a zero balance. I was told I had to go back to the Store 7705 to retrieve the payments from the terminal. I drove up there and they could not help me, so they said. They tried swiping the cards again, but no luck.
I then called T-Mobile again, but they said I would just have to get new cards from Sprint. There is no way I could go back to Sprint and say, "Sorry, T-Mobile lost your money. Can I have more?" I then went to the Sprint store and asked them what to do. They went to the American Express website, entered in the info for each card, and found that they had indeed been processed at T-Mobile Store 7705 on Oct. 17th and payment had been posted to their account on the 19th. Sprint printed this info out for me and I took it back to T-Mobile. They said there was nothing they could do and I would have to call the 800 number.
In the meantime, I keep receiving bills. I have made numerous phone calls to T-Mobile, numerous trips to the mall where the T-Mobile store is located, numerous faxes of all of the paperwork I have, including the papers showing that they did in fact receive payment, and have done countless time doing their investigation for them. They have received copies of all paperwork.
Now, they have sent me to Collections. I contacted the collection agency the same night I received the letter from them and have put the account in dispute. I also called T-Mobile. Had to call 3 times because I was hung up on the first 2 times. They want the money for the phones, but also $300 for the month of usage for July. I told them that once the money is found for the phones, that's it. They can eat the $300 due to me spending the time and gas to do their legwork for them. Stay away from T-Mobile! I cannot stress this enough!

An employee hacked my account and made changes, added a new tablet, and accessories and charge my account, all this without my authorization.

Multiple times I reached out to them for assistance with my bill, which was super high but nothing was done.
Till this day I'm paying on stuff that I did not purchase, that a manager decided to go into my account and add a device, accessories and additional service. I did not get any help with my bill, even though I cancelled my account and I'm making payments on the huge balance, still t-mobile have me on collection. In numerous occasions I called to file a complaint, while the rep was taking all my information and supposedly reporting my complaint, it was all lies. Every time I call and questioned to look in the system about my previous complaint, I was told there was nothing on file. They could not find any of my complaints.

On November 10, 2015 we contacted T-Mobile to see if they could provide cell phone service where we live. We were told on two different times that their service would be excellent and we would not have a problem. After we received the equipment and activation, we were unable to make any calls. I immediately called T-Mobile and told we needed another piece of equipment to solve the problem. Upon receiving said equipment, still no service at all. I called to cancel service with T-Mobile and returned all their equipment, and asked for the $112.79 we paid, returned. We never received our money back. In addition, I received another bill in the amount of $245.04.
Bottom line, we were lied to on two (2) accounts about the excellent service, just to get our money. Fact is we were unable to make any calls (not one), and we continue to get bills for services that were never provided. T-Mobile is a scam company and outright lied to us about the so-called service they said would be provided. In addition, I sent them a letter asking for our money back on December 18, 2015 and have not heard from them to date. I hope ConsumerAffairs gets involved helping us, as I am sure T-Mobile is scamming other Americans like they are and did to us. If we don't get our money back or see them on our credit report, we will sue them and also spend whatever it takes to get other people who have this problem to start a class action suit against T-Mobile.
We Americans work hard for our money, and companies like T-Mobile should be shut down for not taking responsibility for their actions, and lying to all of us to get our money. This action by T-mobile is outright theft and that's just wrong. I hope ConsumerAffairs does something about this as I have all the proof needed to prosecute T-Mobile.

I got an iPad Air with a T-Mobile SIM card in it for data over the mobile phone network. They advertised that they were giving 200 MB a month free for as long as you own the iPad. In order to be able to check your minutes balance you have to create a user account on their website, but in order to do this you have to receive an SMS message on your phone. However the iPad is not a phone so you can't receive an SMS from them. So they can't create an account for you and you can never check your minutes balance. I talked to at least 10 people for at least 5 hours total. Several of them promised me they would fix the problem and get back to me. None of them ever did either. My analysis is that T-Mobile regrets having made the offer and now is making it impossible to use. I note that other iPad owners have reported that T-Mobile is not giving them the promised monthly 200 MB anyway.

This means the 7 or 8 people who told me about it were lying or misinformed.
Either way, this resulted in money I wasted buying new phone for T-Mobile and now, despite inferior service, I am paying more than I ever did at AT&T and have no employee discount to help with some of the costs.

I switched to T-Mobile a little over 1 1/2 years ago from another carrier. Unfortunately, took the bait they offered of "buying out" my existing contract and no "contract" with them, but in the end. Ended up owing them more than I had my previous carrier with a contract! The service I had was a joke, on a good day I could send a text message from my house, on most days the signal connection was off and on continuously. Most places we traveled to and through, no service and dropped calls, yet paying a ridiculously high bill each month because of the exorbitantly priced phones they make you buy, instead of having a contract commitment.
Finally decided to switch to Verizon, as my husband had it and he ALWAYS had coverage when I had none. Made the switch on Black Friday and fully expected to receive my final bill from them shortly thereafter. Also expected that charges from last bill I received, through Dec. 14th, to have been re-calculated with a pro-rated charge for actual days of service rendered, but instead, here's what happened. Around the week of Dec.15th, I started getting calls on my cell phone from some 855 number. Didn't answer and they never left a message. On Dec. 18th, I had an appointment for a utility installation, so when I had a call from a toll free #, I answered thinking it was the utility. Wrong - it was some woman who spoke like a 6th grade dropout, couldn't correctly pronounce most of the words in front of her, gave only her first name and rattled off the name of her company quickly and only when I asked.
She told me something like her company verified personal and private information, then started to read my address (which she also couldn't pronounce), and wanted me to verify that I lived there. Who is going to answer this?? I hung up on her and googled the number and found, wait for it! Numerous references to a COLLECTION COMPANY for T-Mobile. Seriously?? T-Mobile has my address and email and I hear nothing from them, but they have a collection company calling people on money due that they haven't even billed for, not to mention it hasn't even been 30 days since I switched my service. So I called T-Mobile and the "I'm very sorry you feel that way" (they must have to say that a lot) rep told me, yes, they do have a "third party" they work with on billing matters, and he was sorry if they were "unprofessional".
He never really responded to my questioning of placing a balance due with a "third party" when it's not even been billed directly to the customer yet, but hey, we're pretty much all at their mercy, aren't we? I expected to have to pay out the balance owed on the phones, but they didn't pro-rate the service at all, even though I cancelled 2 weeks into the billing period. The rep proudly told me that T-Mobile charges for the full billing period, whether service was actually used or not! What a lovely company - no service, no ethics, apparently no sensible business practices either.
The provider I had before T-Mobile did not operate this way when I switched from them, and frankly, I find it difficult to understand how or why this company continues to operate. They are basically selling phones and you'll pay a small fortune for them as they're holding you hostage with "third party" harassment, but you won't get much in the way of service, or acceptable business practices.

I had an issue with my reception on my s6 edge phone. The reception wasn't working so they send me a refurbish phone. Now t-mobile is accusing me of sending me a phone that they say it was damage. I didn't damage my phone. It was in good condition. I only had a problem with the reception that why too they had to send me a router so my reception can work better. Now they want to charge me over 400. No that not going to happen. I already file a claim to ups. I feel it their fault. I never ever had experience like this with t-mobile. If this issue don't get resolve they will lose a customer who been with them over 10 years and I will make sure people I know with T-Mobile will cancel their account.

I have had issues after issues in the 42 days that I have been a customer with T-Mobile. It first started the day I went to the Pleasant Hill Rd, Duluth store with you to transition from Verizon to T-Mobile. The lady who helped us, I know was trying to explain the plans, but to my ignorance on T-Mobile plans, I was having a hard time understanding her. I realized immediately she got frustrated with me but I don't think she knew how to explain the whole process to a consumer who had no knowledge of T-Mobiles plans.
I had requested that once this transaction was made, that I receive the full rebate from T-Mobile so I can pay off my last Verizon bill once I receive it. She said she would take care of it and that I will receive the full amount. Again by this point you can tell she was frustrated with me. When I requested the free tablet promo that T-Mobile had going, the store didn't have any, so she said she could order it for me and I had to pay a $27(?) shipping fee which I was beside myself.
She never requested my credit card so I assumed she waived the fee. I left uncertain about switching over to T-Mobile!! I called customer service the next day and they said it was never ordered! The customer service rep went ahead and ordered it for me since she saw that I was in the store and became a member of T-Mobile. She never charged me a shipping fee.
Fast forward to today, I downloaded a few weeks ago my $1706.00 Verizon bill on to the SWITCH2TMOBILE.COM site. Today, I called the Switch2 T-Mobile customer number and spoke with Dawn. Dawn said that they are only going to rebate me $643.56 for the phones. I was beside myself!! She said she was going to have the store reimburse me the fees that I was charged(?) which would have totaled to $510.00 but so I don't have to go in and to save me time, she called them. I told her thanks and thought it was over. I thought $1100 was better than nothing.
This way I could see if Verizon would take a few monthly payments since I am not receiving the full $1700 as I requested. I didn't want credits to begin with but I thought this is better than nothing and hopefully Verizon will take monthly payments. Dawn calls me back and says the store will not reimburse me the $510.00 because it HAS BEEN OVER 30 DAYS!!! All she could do is reimburse me $255.00 and pay off one of my phones which will reduce my payment by $30.00 in a few months. I also forgot to mention that the store rep gave me a $300 credit which I asked her not to do. I believed the credit on my bill was a credit from not the full month since I started with T-Mobile at an odd date for billing.
Dawn said there was nothing she could do on her end and even spoke to her manager and that was it. I was under the impression that I was going to receive all $1700.00 as I requested and now I have no idea how I am going to pay it off! What I have gone through thus far has been nerve wrecking for me and unacceptable. I have no idea what I am to do now. Verizon has a win back team and I am going to see if they will take me back since I am within the grace period. I am very disappointed at T-Mobile for their false promises and what feels like a scam.

I stopped my contract with T-Mobile 2 months ago. When I did it, the customer representative told me I don't have to pay any money because in my account there is deposit of $80 and T-Mobile owes me $4 at that time. After a month someone called me from Convergys and told me that I owe $88 to T-Mobile, stating that my billing cycle is starting from 6th of every month which I did not know because I started using it at 13th of August. I just used T-Mobile for 31 days and T-Mobile is charging me $168 in total with their bad coverage and terrible signal quality. I left T-Mobile due to their greedy billing system and bad coverage but T-Mobile does not want to leave me. I do not recommend T-Mobile for anybody and just leave T-Mobile 1 day before your billing cycle ends. Do not feed those greedy people.

I have been with Tmobile for about six years. I had to call just about every month for overcharges that made no sense. One representatives said one thing and the next said something different. My bill is consistently higher than what was promised to me and there is nothing they can do about it every time I call in to inform them. They can never get my bill correct and can never stand by what was promised to me.
