I needed help today, 12/10/2015, reconciling and disputing my bill balance which I believed to be incorrect as I had canceled my account on 11/12/2015 and ported my number at the same time on 11/12/2015. The Sup Rep Jeff (#**) said that the charges are correct even though there was no service utilization activity on my account. I believe this is an invalid charge and fraudulent at best. If necessary I will take this matter to the news media, social media, and to court to resolve. I am probably one of many customers that's been charged for services and data not used. SHAME ON T-Mobile. THIS COMPANY IS NOT TO BE TRUSTED!!!

First off let me say this. My wife and I have been with T-Mobile since their first day of business. We are considered legacy members of T-Mobile. Meaning we are in the first 1000 original customers. This is how they repay us for our loyalty. A few months back we noticed an unusually high bill. After investigating we found several international calls being made from our phones. We have never called anyone internationally so we immediately called T-Mobile to inform them. They assigned us to their fraud department and said they would get back to us. They never did.
Next month's bill came and even more international calls and an even bigger bill arrived. This time we went directly to the T-Mobile store in Redmond Washington. The incredibly helpful clerk called their fraud department. He checked our phones IMEI with the IMEI of the phone making the calls. They did not match, not only did they not match the fraudulent calls had no IMEI attached to the calls. This shocked the fraud department because supposedly it shouldn't be allowed to access the call gateway without one. To top it off while we were at T-Mobile the fraudulent phones were making international calls while we were on the phone with their fraud department. We were told they would take care of it and get back to us in a few days.
Once again that never happened. Then the next bill showed up and was enormous. We were told to pay it and after their investigation they would refund it. We could not afford that big of a bill. T-Mobile then turned our phones off and sent us to collections! When we call they always tell us that they can't help us and someone from the fraud department will get back to us. We are being hounded by collections and have no mobile phones. Is this the way T-Mobile treats all their customers, especially their legacy customers? Thanks for being as loyal as we were to you. This isn't right. It's wrong, unfair and shocking.

T-Mobile starts off great with all their shiny deals and unique offerings compared to other companies but very soon you realize that the pennies you're saving by being one of their customers are completely not worth it. The actual phone/data service is sub-par and then when you have problems and try to get any kind of reconciliation, it's an absolute nightmare dealing with their customer service.
Between exorbitant hold times to overseas reps who barely speak english and then the worst inconsistencies you will ever have to deal with... Seriously, your quality of life will be lessened. Representatives will tell you something to get you off the phone but you'll notice that their promise never went through. And then when you call back to try to figure out what went wrong, you'll speak to multiple people trying to get a sympathetic ear and even then, they'll act like they have no idea why another representative would make such promises. In the end, you'll wind up wasting tons of time and you'll get nowhere.
To make matters worse, as I switched providers, they deactivated my online access to my account. Which means I no longer have the ability to see any of my account information to follow how much I will owe for my final bill. Now they're coming after me for some ridiculous amount of money and I have no way of fighting it. They're screwing me out of this money because if I refuse to pay it, it goes to collections and messes up my credit. I'd totally hire a lawyer if I could afford one but alas, we live in a capitalistic nightmare for the under-class. Corporations are the new god. Makes me sick. T-Mobile is the devil. Do not waste your time, energy or soul on them. Seriously.

I have been doing bad lately. Lost my job again. They disconnected my phone but this time I had the money. I was waiting for an important call. My friend said "You have the money. I will do you a favor. Use my credit card and just give me the money." I said fine, contacted T-mobile, they ask to file the credit card. I said it does not belong to me, just one payment. Ask again "do you want me to file it?" I said "No. This is not my card." Then he said "Fine." We proceeded with the payment 222.24. One card did not go through so she said "This is my personal card. This will work." So we tried again and this time it worked. So she went to see how much was removed, 666.72. They said it was a mistake. How was it a mistake? You had to put the card in three times. He did it for three different days. I did not even owe that much money.
Somehow I feel he found out how to remove the money afterwards from the system. What if he wrote the card number and took it home? The poor lady stood broke. No money. He removed everything from her account. A mistake? I don't think so. That in my eyes was theft but we caught on fast and reported it to the bank and to T-mobile. Now they will turn off my phone soon and the lady has to borrow money to pay her bills. This was no mistake. There is a way to remove money from people's account and transfer it to theirs. How can it be a mistake? Each time he did it for 222.24 not one time 666.72. That's a mistake, three times 222.24. That was no error. Now how can you trust T-mobile with a credit card when they might steal your number? They said maybe his fingers got stuck three times. The card was charged different days. I did not owe that amount. He was charging three time what I owed. That was theft and he got caught.

I cancelled account but they refused to cancel on that same day of my call and they instead charged me an extra $68.90 for service that I did not have. I had T-Mobile service for years but will never again use their service nor will I recommend to any family or friends. Hope the $68.90 makes T-Mobile a much better company. I now have service with Cricket and pay only $35 a month instead of $96 and have better service and customer service. Thanks for nothing T-Mobile.

I switched to T-Mobile to make sure I can use the hot spot on my unlocked AT&T phone. As I received the phone in the mail, the hot spot did not work due to "unknown reasons", as T-Mobile told me. I had to purchase a new phone, spent 500 dollars on in. After few weeks started overheating and freezing. As it was under warranty, guess what? They sent me a USED ONE. After spending hundreds of dollars, they send me a phone that was manufactured a year before and used by God knows who. As I complained, they said they wanted me to be "taken care of". **, they are so nice and USELESS!!!
I had to purchase a new one, next model and trade in my crappy one for little money. After that, when I tried to return it and downgrade to some basic one, the store rep told me they do not have any in stock of any kind except for upgrades. SCAM. SCAM. SCAM. SCAM. Sell the people the phone that they want, stop making them upgrade just so you get a commission.

I'm on a family plan. I live in a more rural area (but very popular tourist area) and my parents live in a major city about an hour away. T-Mobile is awful both places and everywhere in between. We switched from AT&T about a year ago and have regretted it ever since. I've never had so many dropped calls before in my life. Literally almost every call drops at least one time. Completely unacceptable and ridiculous to have to deal with from such a major provider. Counting down the days until our contract is over and we can switch providers.

T-mobile said me they will refund the cancellation fee of the other company for early termination. I provided information and receipts they asked. I wait 60 days, then I decided ask on person. The employee look. The transaction "was denied". They never told me the request was denied. I fill out again the request. At end they only pay $100 of $350. Bad signal on USA. You need wifi calls most of the time. Excellent signal on Mexico.

This is the only review I've ever done but I need to warn people from making a mistake like I did. 14 days return guarantee is a total scam. Tried returning phone because of spotty coverage and very slow loading at home and work but T-Mobile worker declined to accept. Tried calling many times, and was told to go to store but customer service is useless passing me around and saying no payment needed and that they owe me over $200 credit instead for my phone that I trade in. When I asked how to pay for the cancelled post paid bill, I was assured the amount will be deducted to the credit.
Long story short, got a bill for over $750 demanding in full. Called useless service and pass me around. After 3rd or 4th call over few days and endless explanation somebody finally connected me to the right department and made arrangement that I can pay. Due to a mailing problem, 2nd payment was not made on time and placed account on collection for late pay. Collection started harassing me, so I called T-Mobile. The only thing they say? "Sorry for inconvenience, but call collections!" So I just paid remaining balance then and will get rid of their service soon but unfortunately have to wait a month since they already took money from bank for this month. Not only are they the slowest or have the least coverage, the customer service is the worst in my opinion, very inconsiderate and seems untrained. You have to talk to many people, transferred to different department just so you can pay a bill? Beyond ridiculous!

We transferred to T-Mobile from Sprint and the day after my wife brought the two phones from Sprint to the T-Mobile Shop in Aiken. The staff said that we don't need to do anything. My wife filed the refund online and called the customer support of T-Mobile about it and was told that we have to wait for the refund. My wife also have been calling T-Mobile regularly just to get an update of the refund and all they said - is we have to wait. Now, its more than 8 weeks and my wife called, and the customer support transferred her to at least 2 departments and cut off. Eventually, she manage to speak to one of the reps who told her that she need to send the phone!!! And reps said that she need to get her an RMA number and was cut off again.
Yesterday she called, and for some reasons, she was cut off. Today, I called T-Mobile and was transferred to at least 4 people and all of them said that they can't as it passed the 60 days limit. Can you believe on that? We brought the phone to their store and their staff said that we don't need to, and my wife has been calling T-Mobile regularly to check on our refund and only after we reach the 60 days - they will tell you that they can't do anything. Their customer support could have informed her long before but they waited and I supposed this is a deliberately done by T-Mobile.

On Aug. 31, 2015, I walked into T-Mobile to buy a new phone (as an existing member for 10+ years). I walked out with 3 new devices and a JUMP on Demand contract. I did this knowing I would be eligible for the best deal on the upcoming iPhone 6s Plus in September. On September 25, I received my new iPhone 6s Plus in the mail, with step-by-step instructions on how to return my 'old' iPhone 6+. It explicitly stated I had to MAIL in my old device using ONLY the USPS label and packaging provided. It provided no tracking of any kind and stated that the return may become void if any other mail label or carrier is used.
I called T-Mobile customer service and asked if could return the phone to a T-Mobile store, (why not?). I was told "absolutely not, you must mail it to Assurant Solutions per the instructions in the package. Don't worry it will be fine. We will be able to track it even if it is lost." I mailed my return phone and carefully checked the instructions/checklist 3 times on SEPTEMBER 27.
It is now DECEMBER 1st! I have called T-Mobile at least 10 times and attempted to use their various Chat, T-Force, social media accounts, and support forums NUMEROUS times. Any online-based contact with the company has been like a big "** you. We cannot deal with that issue here. We cannot help you with your request, etc." All phone contacts have been the same. After 20 minutes on hold, I am told there is no way to track my returned phone, just keep waiting and see what happens. WHAT!? They can't tell me whether or not they received my phone, or someone stole it, or it's sitting in the back of a warehouse in BFE yet they can continue to bill me for TWO phones for an indefinite period of time?
T-Mobile forced me to mail a brand-new $800 iPhone with no way to get a tracking number for it to a third party. Why couldn't I have taken it into a T-Mobile retail store? Why couldn't I have used my own USPS label with a tracking number in order to know exactly where it is at all times? Why am I forced to send this phone to a third party in which T-Mobile has no access to? The longer my phone is unaccounted for, the more money both companies receive. NEVER, EVER RETURN any device to T-Mobile via Assurant Solutions.

First I would like to say they did clear the balance when they found out it was their "mistake" after the sending warnings of collection agencies and damaging MY credit. I disconnected with T-Mobile and made sure to pay all final balances because I sold my T-Mobile phone and everything has to be cleared for the phone to transfer. I was told everything was final by a representative and sold the phone. The phone was connected with no issues. Then 2 months later I get a bill for $40 out of nowhere. Well after sitting through their automated garbage for 30 mins I found out "it was just a mistake in the system". Just a warning, I bet they make this "mistake" very often. Very shady and illegal. Watch these snakes.

This company is very misleading, and out take their consumers on a joy ride for their hard money. Lets start with the global coverage which is the biggest ripoff there is. I mean throughout my travels I have traveled to other countries where I was told that I would have service but it did not turn out that way. There was only partial service while out on roaming charges. I could not make a call but I could get one, I could not send a text but I could get one, I would find wifi and connect to it and through an texting app then I was able to send messages out.
And I complained about and the reply is that I would have to call them from over there and have them to troubleshoot the problem. But meanwhile the phone not functioning the way it should they were still racking up on international charges to my account. T-mobile have sale promos but if you are shopping and looking for a good product and service then don't come here, it will only be a waste of time and money.

Canceled my T-Mobile account on 10/15/15. On November 3rd, we got a call from an "in-house" collection agency stating that we owed T-Mobile $156.41 for the final bill. I called and asked why I wasn't sent a final bill and why this was sent to collections. The person at T-Mobile said that it shouldn't have been sent to collections since the final bill hasn't been sent out yet. I paid the bill at that time and asked them to contact the collection company so they wouldn't contact us anymore which they said they would. I also asked if this the final payment and is my account officially closed now and she stated it was. Today (Dec. 1) we received another call from the T-Mobile "in-house" collection company saying we owed $156.41.
I called again and the lady at T-Mobile said that it showed that we didn't have a balance on their end. I asked why we are getting called and she stated that she wasn't sure because it wasn't her department. I requested a copy of the final bill, so I can verify that the payment I made in November was legit. After doing some research online, I've found out that this is a common complaint with T-Mobile. They seem to continue to bill people, even after the accounts closed and will do so until the person fights back. We are waiting to hear back from them but at this time and I'm also waiting for a final bill (which I was never sent) to make sure I wasn't billed for services that I didn't receive or use.

I regret switching from Verizon Services T Mobile. The representatives at T-Mobile services did not give me the accurate information and early in September 2015, T-Mobile offered to buy out contracts to switch carriers promising to pay off any early termination fees or device installment balance. I had one termination fee and three device installment payments and I was assured in person that these would be covered. Verizon refused to give me a final bill, but I was able to get the last bill with the phone numbers and remaining install balance up to the date I switch to T-Mobile. T-Mobile representative give me a website to sent the bill to, the site had no link to submit any documents. A representative could not even find the link herself so she gave me a fax number to fax the documents to which I did. When I call to follow up I was told it will be until two weeks to get a response. They would not even let you know if they did received the fax.
I call back after three weeks to be told that there is nothing on file, I should not have faxed any document, and I should mail it in. Now I do not know who to trust or believe at T-Mobile. They all lied and mislead people to take the services. I asked to speak to a manager. The representative bluntly told me that I cannot speak to anyone else because he represent T-Mobile. Up to today no reimbursement only apologies from every representatives I spoke with and now I am stuck with the payoff balances for Verizon.

My husband just spent over 3 hours, yes, THREE HOURS on the phone trying to figure out how to take advantage of their CYBER MONDAY deals. He wants an iPhone 6s plus and I want an iPhone 6s. However, even though our bill is paid in full on time their website was charging us for a bill payment per phone. So two payments upfront even though we are paid on time. You might be thinking that I am confusing 'money down' with my monthly bill. I confirmed with them. The website is asking for our regular monthly payments upfront, per phone. Besides they specifically advertised as $0 down. We want to make monthly payments and NOTHING is due.
He called at midnight and explained it. The person understood the issue and helped us with my iPhone 6s. On that one we paid the taxes which was expected. However, on their website (newsroom.t-mobile.com/news/cyber-monday.htm) it clearly states the following: "T-Mobile Un-leashes iPhone Upgrades for Cyber Monday. Starting at 12:30 AM PST on Cyber Monday, T-Mobile is bringing back one of its most popular offers of the year. Buy a new iPhone online at T-Mobile.com and the Un-carrier will give you a free memory upgrade. The following memory upgrades are available for iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus on Cyber Monday only. Buy iPhone 6s or iPhone 6s Plus 16GB and we'll upgrade you to the same model with 64GB. Buy iPhone 6s or iPhone 6s Plus 64GB and well upgrade you to the same model with 128GB."
"To take advantage of these offers, simply put the 64GB or 128GB model in your cart online and you'll see the pricing reflected at check-out. Additional memory means more space for the epic photos and videos shot on your iPhone. It means enjoying more music and more of the 1.5 million amazing apps available on the App Store while still having plenty of room to grow your content libraries as your storage needs grow over time. These offers are only available online and inventory is limited. Simply go to www.t-mobile.com/holiday."
So we called a couple of hours before midnight to verify that we qualified for these deals. Sure enough, we qualified or so we were told. We wanted to buy 64GB's with the free upgrade as stated above. However, that is not what we got. We were told that the deal is $100 off. There really wasn't an upgrade. So I would get $100 off a 64GB. That's it.
Based on the advertisement. I understood it as getting a 128GB for the price of a 64GB. Not so folks. For the iPhone 6s plus. He wanted the 64GB with the free upgrade. In other words, a 128GB for the price of the 64GB. T-Mobile could not honor their word. He was given the run around by so many people from their Customer Service department to Retention Dept to Tele-Sales to 'Web Sales'. It was horrendous!!! At the end, there was nothing else we could do. AND, since my husband never signed their contract via email, I cancelled my iPhone 6s with T-Mobile. We are going somewhere else. Meanwhile, I am drafting a letter to the FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION. I have taken a screenshot of their advertisements, sales, newsroom pages. I have made copies and took very detailed notes during the 3 long hours we tried hard to deal with T-Mobile. I have a case here.

A paralegal called and was sent a copy of the bank payment. She was rude and stated that I should have called my bank and not T-Mobile. She stated that T-Mobile would be issuing a refund on my credit card. How, if they removed all credit card information as stated in August 2015.
I requested this rude lady to never call back but have her attorney call me. As of 11-29-2015 no payment or further calls. Waiting for responses to discovery documents.

I contacted the rep again and rep said "Ohhhh Iast one mislead you. You can not call from Canada to 3rd country." Fair enough I thought and he said he will take care of the bill this time. I was confused. I again called 3rd rep and asked him why I can't call 3rd country I have 2 extra plans I am paying 10+15 dollars extra for North America plan and international calling. 3rd rep said "2nd rep was wrong you can call to 80 countries from Canada." 'What the heck?" I said and made calls. Bill was not adjusted as per 2nd rep still got the same bill $543 more. I called the customer service 4th time and now she said you should be good to call from Canada to 3rd country because you have a plans. I said please put a note in your section. I saw no change in bill I was getting hit.
Then I again called 5th customer rep and inquired, "Why are you guys are not trained to what to tell to the customer. I am not going to pay this crap???" She said they are looking into this matter and will adjust the bill and will contact me shortly but in the mean time I can keep on calling from Canada to 3rd country or use WIFI call of no charge to call 3rd country. I didn't saw any change in the bill by Nov 18 so I called 6th rep. She said you should be good to call from Canada to 3rd country. You will receive the call from rep soon.
Finally, i got a call from T-Mobile Manager Nov 19th saying, "Oh no you were given wrong information first time but 2nd time we told you it will be 1.99 dollars per min if you call 3rd country from Canada." I was shocked listening to that and told her what about 6 other reps who told me "keep calling 2nd rep was wrong who told me not to call". Then she told me that I still owe around 1200 dollars which I will have to pay or else she will send this to collection agency then I said I do not want your coverage and she said, "Do you want me to cancel your service right away???" What the heck she was talking to customer like this and is this black mail for getting money like this by giving false information to customer and then extorting like this? Is this fair??? It your customer service problem what can I do???

First I would like to start by saying, T-Mobile is the root to all evil. I have NEVER in my life seen such horrible service! Funny thing is, I cancelled my T-Mobile account close to 5 years ago due to their service or lack thereof I should say! My friend now has T-Mobile and for the last 7 months he has had nothing but issues. He cannot make any phone calls in his house and continually has dropped calls, so we complained to T-Mobile several times. We were told that there is a tower by the home and they would trouble-shoot the phone. My friend also utilizes his WiFi and also uses 4G LTE Signal Boosters (whichever works better) just to get better service. NOTHING happens! When you call T-Mobile, nothing is their fault or they're sorry... Stop reading off of the screen because we all know you don't understand my frustration or anyone else's, so just stop it!
To make matters worse, there has been fraudulent activity on this account and as much as we have tried to protect this account, T-Mobile has done nothing to resolve the situation. They tell you that everything is protected, you have a pass code so you have nothing to worry about, but these morons DO NOT read their pop-up messages that state there is fraud on the account and to only speak to the owner of the account. We have tried everything from setting up a new account online, restricted all access to any codes, passwords, etc. This morning they sent out a text message regarding my friend's account, but OOPS... it accidentally went to the fraudulent phone number stating that the resolution ticket he submitted for his service issues has now been reassigned to the fraudulent phone number.
We spent a countless amount of hours (5 calls in one day) to ensure that the account was set up correctly. We were assured we would have no problem and then they "accidentally" sent the text to the wrong number, but they say that person didn't actually get it (make sense to you, because I'm lost here). UNACCEPTABLE!! They had no explanation as to why this occurred other than "oh our system changed it but we don't know".
HELLOOOOO earth to T-Mobile, is anybody there? I'm guessing the answer is NO! Service will be terminated as of today and we will take our business elsewhere. I would recommend to you all, DO NOT use this service. Yes, it is a cheap plan, but you get what you pay for...phone service and customer service included. That said, I digress. Bottom line, T-Mobile is literally the worst service on the entire planet... I'd rather buy a cheap throw-away phone from Walmart rather than go to a company that is completely senseless! Sincerely, A Begrudged Customer.

I made use of the service called: "JUMP" which allows a customer to return their old phone and get in exchange a new model. I returned my old phone iPhone 5s and got an iPhone 6 plus. When they shipped me the envelope with the instructions to send back the iPhone 5s, they never included another envelope for the return but only an address. Because of this reason, UPS did not accept the package and they wanted $15 to ship it through them. I decided to ship it via USPS instead and nowhere on their instructions anywhere they said I couldn't. I had also called them to confirm that it was okay to do so as they had forgotten to include the prepaid return label.
When I went to the USPS, I got proof of mailing and receipt because they don't have a tracking number. I sent this iPhone 5s on the 08/21/15 and have the receipt and proof of mail with me. I also sent pictures of this proof to T-Mobile. After two months, this phone arrived to them. Meanwhile I got charged for the balance of approx. $260 because the phone had not yet arrived even though it isn't my fault. Finally on the 1st of Nov of 2015 (2 months later) they got the phone but they never credited the balance and they continue to charge me approx. $30 each month for a phone I returned on the 08/21/15.
I was doubted and they did not believe I had shipped it, and even when they finally got it, they are still not crediting me for it!!! My request was and still is to have my balance related to the old iPhone 5s to be credited immediately and for my bills to be credited and adjusted so I do not get charged for property I returned!!! Not only that, but I have emails from T-Mobile that assured me this was going to be taken care of but as of today and after several emails and calls, I yet have to see the bill adjusted, the balance credited and a response.
I did not stop there. I made a complaint to the BBB and the Department of Consumers Affairs and waiting to be resolved. If you have had a similar issue, make sure to report it as I did. It is outrageous that no one can take care of this matter, no matter how many emails, phone calls and explanations and proof given. I will be changing phone carrier very soon too. SHAME ON YOU!

So, I switched to T-Mobile because they buy out your plan and I recently broke my new iPhone 5 under contract from Verizon therefore buying a new phone would be way too out of budget. Can I just say, the biggest mistake I did was switch to T-Mobile from Verizon. I am so disappointed and upset with T-mobile currently. I was under the impression, and told by a sales rep that I send them my information on my last billing from Verizon with the amount for buying out my contract and they would "take care of the fee" and literally told me they would call and take care of it. Well, that didn't go as planned. I ended up calling wondering what was going on with my reimbursement, I called the reimbursement team who reconnected me to the people who place the black cards. Can I just say, I was on the phone for a good 15 minutes because the guy somehow couldn't find the information.
Had to hold again on T-Mobile, speak with them saying they couldn't find my information, put me on hold and then said they sent me a new one. This was all Oct 14, saying it would take a good two weeks. It's now Nov 18th. Apparently was suppose to receive my new reimbursement card last Wednesday. They have the right information and I've been on hold today and discussed my frustration, so the lady tells me my "new card will be sent to me in 15 business days." ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Get it together T-Mobile. If I would've known you sucked so bad, I should have never left Verizon. Now, I never leave reviews. But this one was way too hard not to share. Especially since there is no other way to express how angered I am with my experience with T-Mobile. Don't fall under the impression of their "buy out contract" deals, I ended my Verizon plan in the summer of August. So frustrated with T-Mobile, words can't even explain.

I ordered a hot spot back in the end of Sept 2015. I was charged for the device and received the device. I then found that I was unable to use this device due to my service area. I was told I can send the device back and get a full refund. I then received another of the exact same devices in the mail. I checked my credit card account and saw a second pending charge for the same amount for the same order. I contacted T-Mobile about this and the first few people I spoke to couldn't even find either order in their system with ANY of the information on their packaging or paperwork. I was on the phone with them for over an hour that afternoon and transferred to many people and departments and "supervisors".
They were finally able to pull up my orders and then informed me that there was an internal issue with the order processing system and they admitted that it was their fault that the order was processed more than once. This is actually when I found out the order was being processed a THIRD time! I let them know that it needed to be stopped as they were affecting my account by putting holds on all these funds, for things I didnt order and that I already paid for on the one I did actually order. She told me it couldnt be stopped. I saw the next day a 3rd pending charge for the charge for that device.
I sent back both devices I received and tracked them until they were received by Tmobile. I checked my account and two pending charges were gone but the original charge that was successful was still on my account. Tmobile still had my money from the original order yet they had received the returned product back. I called again and they claimed they showed that they never took it. I let them know I had proof they did. They told me I had to FAX them the statement showing the charge. I advised them that I did not have access to a fax machine as it is 2015 and its unrealistic to make a process where the only way to reach a department is thru fax. They claimed they had no other way to reach that department as they are "completely offline".
This is alarming considering they are a wireless company! I also requested an email address for a customer service worker or department that I could send the statement too to then be faxed by them internally to their "cash applications" department. They said they wouldnt do it. Some employees went as far as to tell me that nobody there had emails and when I caught him in a lie he told me he was forwarding my message/request along to his boss via writing it on a piece of paper and putting it on his desk and that they have no email in the entire company. I then called in again after not receiving a return call from a manager as promised and was spoken to by employee #** Denise ** (a training assistant supervisor) very rudely.
Out of all the conversations I had with tmobile she was by far the rudest person there. She was only interested in giving me a fax number and letting me know I was told before that faxing was the only option. She was not interested in listening as she continually cut me off because she only wanted to answer questions I hadnt asked yet, even though my questions were not fully or adequately answered. I had to file a dispute with my bank because tmobile refuses to work with a customer to help them get information to a out of reach department for an issue they created on their own!!! Worst customer service I have ever had. This issue went on for over a month and a half.

I have been a T-Mobile customer since they were VoiceStream. All in all, they have been acceptable and decent over the years. The Uncarrier was a big improvement, but now I guess they have grown to be like the others. Their promotions are misleading, and the staff are often confused. Customer Service has lost that 'caring feeling' and become excuses.
I recent added another line to my 11, and it didn't work. After over 8 hrs of being in the store and online, I was told I needed a new device. But because I had already activated the line, I could not buy a discounted refurbished device online. When I said to cancel the line and start over, I was told by the retention department that they could not - I had to go back to the store. Long story short, it was not true. One retention specialist told me that leaving would be difficult now since I had new equipment with them and would cost a lot - true but not what they should be telling customers. I guess it's time to go elsewhere. A real shame!!

In fact, I moved and got married since this nightmare switch so only god knows where they have sent the $250 final rebate...

And their service absolutely sucks- I have to sit in one room of my house in the corner to make a phone call. And forget your texts while not on wifi- they are lost somewhere, probably next to my rebate they forgot to mail. Screenshot of my service inside my house like everywhere else I go- 1 dot. And try calling the promotions phone number 877-470-3619, where they claim representatives are standing by to help you from 7 am - 7 pm- not one number on the menu will get you to anyone... Ever.

T-Mobile tried to get me and my wife. Not happening! Ok, me and my wife upgraded our old phones which were the LG Stylo to the Samsung Galaxy Edge S6 plus. Mind you, we did this over the phone with T-Mobile and we had a long extensive conversation with them about these phones. We knew initially that we were going to have to pay the down payment for the phones, which we didn't mind doing. Nothing is for free right? So anyway, we accepted that along with the contract, waiting for our phones to be delivered while we send our old phones back to them. We receive our phones which were the wrong phones. They sent us the Samsung Galaxy Edge instead of the plus. Here is where things got complicated.
Ok, we call T-Mobile and explain to them that they sent us the wrong phones. We have the contract stating what particular phones we are supposed to receive. They tell us to send the phones back and they will send out the other phones, next day air. Mind you we’re already sent back our Stylo as well. So we have no phones to use and T-Mobile tells us that they can give us loaner phones from their stores. So me and my wife drive to the store and explain our situation to the customer service rep and she is like ok, I can help you. She goes to the back and come see back with two outdated flip phones that look like they came from Safelink or something. Not that there is nothing wrong with Safelink.
So I'm telling the rep that is unacceptable and we will not be using those phones at all. T-Mobile made a mistake, now they need to fix it. So I ask them: “Why can't you just give us the Samsung phones right here?” Well, because we did it over the phone that couldn't do it in the store, which made no sense to me. Same company, same phone! We ended up saying forget it and leaving the store without our phones. Me and my wife go a day without having our phones, which isn't bad because we just wanted T-Mobile to get it right. Never happened!
We get our new phones, which was cool but here is the kicker. They tried to charge me and my wife $306.00 apiece for the wrong phones as well as another $348.00 apiece for our new phones on top of the $863.00 we already paid them. Mind you we just gave them another $200.00 more which totals $1063.00. They send us a bill saying we owe them another $1101 dollars and some odd change. That didn't make sense at all. So I called and called and called and called and called to dispute this outrageous claim. They tried to run game on me sending me here and there all over everywhere claiming to try and rectify the situation. Yeah right! I explained to them that there is no way in hell we owe that type of money for some phones. That's a down payment on a car and I'll be damned if I'm paying that type of money for some cell phones.
T-Mobile claimed that they were going to do a credit adjustment and everything would be fine. Negative, things got only worse. T-Mobile reps don't know what they are doing because no one could like give me answers and I kept getting the runaround for hours on hours with think these clowns. I may not be a grammar expert but I can sure as hell add. So anyway, I filed a complaint against T-Mobile with the BBB and explained my situation to them. My wife was ready to throw in the towel and pay the money. Forget that, get busy living or get dying! Lo and behold, a week later we get a bill stating they owe us money which will credited to our next bill as well as our phones being paid off and magically that $1101 has been wiped out. I tell you T-Mobile is worse than Comcast and that's saying a lot. I knew they were trying to scam us but I wasn't having it. Like I said I might not an expert in grammar but I can add.

I have been a loyal customer with T-Mobile for over 7 years and an officer in the military for 16 years. I recently added up the amount of money I have spent with T-mobile over the last 7 years and it comes to about $18,000. I just returned from an Iraq deployment and decided to go over the bills with my wife. I noticed that I was no longer receiving a military discount from T-Mobile. After further investigation I realized that I have not received this discount in over two and a half years! I contacted T-Mobile and asked why this was and that is when the countless lies began.
Lie number 1: "we sent you an email on April 24 asking to recertify your employment." Well, I save all emails and I checked them for the ENTIRE YEAR, no email. I told the lady I wanted to pay off the remainder of my three iphones and I would just switch service. I told her service is horrible anyway and I have been debating on switching. I live in Huntsville, AL and frequently drive to Birmingham, AL for work. I take INTERSTATE 65 and I am only able to make phone calls for 1/4 off the route. That is ridiculous this day and age.
The representative told me that she would work to get my discount restored and in the meantime would give me a $20 a month discount. I saw a $20 reduction in my next bill, but it was far from a discount. That rep just decided to switch me from unlimited to a regular 10 gig a month plan. I noticed this when my already sluggish unlimited phone truly began to crawl! I instantly called and told the rep to unlock my phones that I just completely paid off because I was switching providers. She attempted to con me into staying, but was not successful (sort of)! I was told my phones have been unlocked. Made a trip to Verizon and attempted to switch providers and would you believe it that T-Mobile replied again the phones were not unlocked.
I spent several hours getting repeatedly lied to about my phones being unlocked. I am told a different lie each hour. T-Mobile says they are unlocked, but Apple (neutral party) tells me they are still locked. Currently, my wife and teenage daughter are without cell phones for the second day. We are trying to find a way to force T-Mobile to unlock our phones. The very same phones that I paid over 2400 dollars for. I have never been one to pull the veteran card, but I am now. I am a 16-year military combat veteran with 4 deployments. I just returned from my last deployment less than two months ago.
I have spent over 18000 dollars with this company over a 7-year period and this is how I am treated! I am absolutely disgusted with this poor excuse for a company. I am not exaggerating in the least, every single time I speak with T-Mobile I am told a lie. It is not over. I will continue to spread my T-Mobile experience to everyone that will listen over every possible venue. I am debating on leasing a billboard near our local T-Mobile to let more people know to avoid this garbage company.

The T-Mobile upgrade program is a scam. You cannot be in the program without paying the insurance. You have to pay full price for the phone, plus the insurance added as a monthly payment to your bill. However, if anything happens to the phone and it needs to be replaced, you get a refurbished phone. One of the sales pitches they give is that if a refurb isn't available they will give you a new phone, yet there are many complaints that indicate this is NOT TRUE. Replacements are delayed with the line that "There are no models of your phone available". That is irrelevant, and not in keeping with the pitch given to get you to take part in the plan.
I have never gotten a refurb that worked properly, and I also have received a phone that was not the model that was insured as others have reported. I have been with T-Mobile for 11 years, but I feel confident I won't make it to 12. Customer service has always been pleasant and some of the rep's seem to work very hard to resolve the problems, but my guess is that the system they work in won't let them. I'm sorry to say, after all this time that this new program, where one has to pay full price with the promise of replacement if anything goes wrong, is just another money making scam. It is disappointing to me, and I do not relish the idea of searching for and trying new providers to find one that I'm satisfied with.
I think it is clear that it is best to buy your own phone as economically as possible and just pay for the cell service. I've had phones that lasted so long I could have bought a new one with the insurance payments I had made, plus the $145.00 copay. The "Upgrade" program and its required insurance coverage should be avoided, in my experience with T-Mobile.

Early 2015, T-Mobile offered to buy out contracts to switch carriers promising to pay off any early termination fees or device installment balance. I had no termination fee, just a little over $100 in device installment payments and I was assured in person that these would be covered. Verizon refused to give me a final bill, but I persuaded the call operator to email that number. I sent what I thought was sufficient for the required information because it did not specify everything. Within 2 months, I was denied and told I could resubmit with more information, which I did. Within a month, denied again. So I called and was assured again that I would receive the reimbursement as promised... 8 months later, no reimbursement and no explanation as to why they promise offers that they do not keep.

I have been a T-Mobile customer for 10 plus years. I decided to switch my service because I was tired of calling my family from hotel lobbies since their coverage in hotels was horrible. I switched service on September 22 and had a zero balance on my account. I have since been billed $393.66. One charge is for the August /September dates which I agree with. The other charge is $198.53 for charges relating to a September 21 through October 20. That is right... They stuck me with a bill close to $200 for 24 hours worth of service. The other thing they did was send me a nasty letter threatening to send me to collections for the Aug./Sept. bill with no initial paper bill reviewing my charges or even an email or courtesy call.
I called the 800 number and first finance guy I spoke with kept interrupting me and finally just transferred me to someone else mid-sentence. The second guy acknowledged my frustration but refused to even go up any further stating it is policy. I would never ever recommend T-Mobile to anyone. From coverage to customer service it is a crap company.

I have been a T-mobile customer for almost 10 years now. For most of those years I have enjoyed my service as far as network and as far as customer service. However recently my husband and I went into a T-Mobile store to upgrade/"jump" our phones. Everything went well with upgrading our cell phones and the manager assisting us offered us Free 2 Samsung Tab A tablets, Zero money down, since we were updating our phones. We were told all you have to pay is $10 a month for data. Well this was a nice promotion I thought. We don't really need 2 tablets but since they are free sure we can do that. Just $10 a month for data sure.
After accepting the offer we are then told ok that will be $31.50 for activation of the tablets. Oookkk so we pay that. Then we are told well we don't have anymore in the store but I can have it shipped to your home. OK sure a week goes by and we still haven't received them so I called to follow up and I'm told they are on back order and they should be in tomorrow, and they will be shipped immediately. 5 days go past I call to follow up again and I'm told, "oh we tried to charge your account for today for the tablets and account was declined". Charge my account? For what I asked I was told the Tablets were Free.
"Oh, well I don't see that in your account, I was placed on a long hold while they checked the promotion around my order. She comes back to the phone and says "Ok, ma'am we tried to charge your account for the taxes of the tablet a total for $48." Excuse me, what taxes? I was told the tablets were Free. Then I was told I needed to pay an activation fee of $31.50 for the sim cards. Now you're telling me you tried to charge my account an additional $48 almost 2 weeks after I placed my order. Not only was I not notified of the additional $48 nor did I authorize that payment, but now we are up to $78 for something I was told was Free, Zero money down.
Frustrated I told her I would call her back because I needed to discuss this with my husband because this was not what we were told. In the meantime for the last 2 weeks I've been paying $10 each or data on tablets I still didn't have. After speaking with my husband, he still wanted his tablet. He already had purchased accessories for it (cases, screen protector, extra styluses, and even a car charger so he could have it for the holiday travels) but he wanted me to see if they T-Mobile would honor their promotion of free and at least credit back the $48 for the "taxes of the tablets, so I call back.
I had a gentleman this time, I explained the situation and he said and I quote " Do you have it in writing that its Free?" Taken aback at this comment I asked him if I could go back to the store and have the manager who assisted us talk to him. He said no that wasn't necessary. I could either pay the additional $48 for the taxes or he could credit my account back the $31.50 for activation fees. Again I had to discuss this with my husband because now I felt lied to and no longer wanted the "free, zero money down tablet" which they are still Promoting on TV as Free, zero money down, just pay $10 a month for data.
After speaking with my husband again, his heart was set. So I called back I got a young lady who tells me that she can not reprocess our order because my new T-Mobile bill is due and she cannot process any orders until new bill was paid, which she could see I had an auto payment set up for the next day. So I would have to call her back then once the payment was cleared to reprocess my order. I'm now extremely disappointed with T-mobile and vent to my mother about who notifies me that even though they say auto "payments can't be changed" if you call, they will always take your payment earlier. So I call back again.
This time I speak with another young man who happily takes my bill payment, and then tells me that my order will again be on back order and that it will be another 2 weeks or so before I receive them. He also said that he cannot process my payment of $48 until they actually come in (another 2 weeks, seriously dude, what about the order I already had in). He said that my order was canceled a week before because the payment was denied by my bank, not for insufficient funds he said but because it was the wrong security code. He admitted that it was probably because the payment was in fact not authorized and was just attempted to be charged to the card used in the store. However, because I swiped my card when I paid for the $31.50 for the sim card activation fees, they didn't have the security code from the back of my card so someone made it up and my bank denied the additional charges for false security code.
I told him, I had actually called t-mobile the day he was referring to to see where my tablets were because it had been a week since I had ordered them in the store and I still hadn't gotten them. I was told then that I was on back order and would should be in the next day. The young man then said that only his department could see that information about the charges. so I asked him why I wasn't notified or contacted that there was an issue processing the payment. Why did I have to call to find out. He said they don't do that anymore they just wait 5 days and then cancel the order. I then asked him. Because it hasn't been 5 days since the payment was "rejected" and I just was just being informed about these additional charges of $48 why can't we go with my original order.
All he could do was apologize for his coworkers ignorance to the situation but because they (t-mobile) again no longer had them in stock I would still have to wait another 2 weeks for them to come in again and they would charge my bank account the $48 at that time of arrival. So now it will be at least entire month since my original order before I receive my "free" tablets, I'm already paying $10 a month for each for data on tablets, that started on October 30th, and whenever they get the tablets in I will be charged an additional $48 and then the tablets will be sent out to me and I should receive it within another week or so from the day their shipment arrives, which could be another 2 weeks.
In all my years of being with T-Mobile I have never felt so scammed and lied to and frustrated. I am disappointed in the False advertisement. Advertising it as "Free and, $0 Down" yet charging an additional $78 is disgusting and if it hadn't been for my husbands built up excitement for the tablet and previous accessory purchases I would have walked away from the entire thing. I'm attaching a screenshot of the advertisement, since the one customer service rep wanted it in writing.
Please know that I rarely complain about anything. I feel that people should know, These Tablets Are Not Free, it is a scam, it's not even in the fine print I've attached a copy see for yourself. Just know they will charge additional activation fees and the taxes. (Yes, taxes on Zero) you are paying for more than just the $10 data line. Also you should ask first if they actually have them in stock. Due to the promotion they probably don't.

Since last 14 hrs, no connection. They ask me to drive more than 25 miles, just to have signals. LOL. When I said I will leave a negative review, the person from T-Mobile said, "do what you want." What a service. I will cancel their service, go back to ATT. ATT know how to talk with the customer. WHAT A MISTAKE I DID TO SWITCH TO T-MOBILE.

We contracted cellphone service with T-Mobile recently and the service is not reliable at all. Every so often the 3 cell phones do not connect with each other. If the cellphone do not connect, the speed of internet service is also so slow. In our daily routine, we depend a lot from our cellphones. What kind of service is that? Simply terrible.

T-Mobile is the worse. I had a warranty on my phone. I had the flex and it stop working at the bend. So I sent my phone in. So they sent me a used S5 which is in fair condition. So 2 months later I get a bill for 532 saying it was out of warranty. So why nobody didn't contact me? They said it's a small Crack on the camera. Nothing was wrong with my camera so I talked to different people and they didn't give a damn so I asked them why will I pay a 400 out of warranty fee and I could've paid an insurance deductible for 175 and got a brand new phone. Then they offered to change my bill to 175. Hell no. Y'all send me my phone back and they said they couldn't. My thing is T-Mobile don't tell the customers everything and this showed me they don't give a damn about their customers. I paid them every month on time, a loyal customer. I hate Altel went out of business, they were the best I swear.

My mother went to buy a prepaid plan and phone. The sales rep sold her a phone and plan, but neglected to tell her that the activation (electronic pin) of the phone was a separate charge and non-refundable and sold her a bunch of useless accessories (headphones, carrying case and protective covers.) 24 hours later, she returned the phone and items back to the store, but she only received $56 of her original purchase amount $130. Charges for restocking fee and the non-refundable electronic pin. Why is there a restocking fee for a purchase returned in 24 hours? This company obviously makes its profits from ripping people off, especially seniors.

Calls were being dropped constantly over a 35 mile radius from my home down to my work in the Bronx, 30 miles south. Two visits to the T-mobile store, 3 calls to customer service and no change in service. I refused to pay the last month's bill and switched to Verizon. T-mobile claims I owe them for 2 months of service. I had over 6 months of service and since my calls were dropped 1/2 the time, I overpaid them.

I purchased two new lines from T-Mobile. One of the phones was not working when I received it. I paid full price for the phone upfront when I opened the new line. I received the phone the next day. The phone would not hold a charge and was overheating. I called T-Mobile and was told that I have purchase the same phone again then send the defective phone back to them and wait 7 to 10 business days before I will receive a refund on the defective device. Which I feel is not right, being that before I could even receive the phone I had to pay for it upfront not wait until I receive the phone then pay T-Mobile 7 to 10 business days later. If I had of known T-Mobile did business this way I would have never brought my lines over to this company. Buyer beware!

I significantly overpaid my T-Mobile account which was clear to all the many representatives I've spoken to. Because I'd moved and had absolutely no Tmobile cell service in my new location I had to sign up with another carrier. I was not on a contract. I cancelled the contract before the next billing cycle but got charged for the next billing cycle anyway.
My calls about my refund began several weeks ago. I was told, and the website states this, refunds will be processed within 2-3 business days and issued shortly thereafter. It didn't happen, I went in person, they asked for my bank information to expedite the refund. I was very grateful for the efficiency I encountered in the store, only to have the refund not show up. I called again. I was told, "We will process this by Friday, call me back if you have questions." No refund. I called again, the next time I was told "it's against our rules to refund without waiting 30-60 days to give all the final bills a chance to clear. I stated all deductions have been made, and I've been told 3 times that my refund was coming within days.
The young woman stated "it's against our rules." I said, "3 people before you don't know that." She replied by saying, "I'll speak to the manager." My mistake was saying okay instead of saying, "No, I'll speak to the manager, put her on." The young woman came back after making me wait. "The manager says it's against the rules to issue a refund before 30 days after your final bill is sent to you." She gave me a projected day a month away after I've been promised 3 times my refund would be in my bank within 2-3 days. As I read other reviews I am very glad that I am no longer doing business with T-Mobile. Be advised, what they state on their website about the turnaround time between refunds and when you receive them is bogus. They have some secret rules apparently that only the managers and a few select staff know about. Sure enough they found deductions here and there to reduce my expected refund in half.

I had a problem with my phone which I took to a T-Mobile store to have looked at. They couldn't find the problem and suggested I sign up for their insurance and order a replacement for free, which I did. Before the new device arrived I fixed the problem with my phone (incorrect setting). When the replacement arrived I decided to send it back rather than my old phone. I used the return label on the box as per instructions and handed it to my USPS postman (I did not notice it was a UPS label). At some point the package went missing. A 'restocking' fee of $480 appeared on my account.
After several repetitive phone calls to T-Mobile where the rep said they put a search order to their warehouse, there was no change in the situation. A final call to the Loyalty dept. resulted in a T-Mobile supervisor refusing to remove the charge and giving me the 'option' to pay in installments. She even suggested I walk away from the outstanding bill entirely, which is a terrible way to handle the situation. I wanted to pay the part of the bill for regular services, but without the extra fee, but she refused. T-Mobile are taking the position that they did not receive the package and therefore I should pay for the device ($480). It is on me to file UPS for the missing package.
My position is that I do not have the device and sent it back in good faith and therefore should not pay for it. It is on T-Mobile to file UPS for the missing package, or absorb the loss. I am going to pay the charges as I do not want problems with my credit rating or credit agencies coming after me, but I still dispute the charge and want it credited to my account before I leave T-Mobile. We have been loyal customers for over 10 years, but this is unacceptable, and probably illegal.

Hi, I was a customer of T-Mobile. I took a contract device (iPhone 5s). After few months I found some problems in my device and replaced my device with T-Mobile. I continued the contract couple of months then after I found a good benefits for international calls in some other network provider so, I would like to end up the contract with T-Mobile and port to the new carrier. I called to T-Mobile and informed the same and I ported. Now real problem begins...15 days after porting my number my iPhone 5s is troubling me a lot with the display. I wanted to visit Apple store to find the problem. I just shocked... They (apple) tested my device and gave me a certificate with device serial number, stating that this device is not having genuine Apple Display, this contains Third party Display. They said they can't help in this. They asked me to pay 170$ to replace with new display.
I contacted T-Mobile, they said as I recently ported my carrier they can't help in this device. I spoke with many representative regarding this. Nobody is helping me. For the replacement device sometimes contractors send refurbished devices but that too factory refurbished. For my case I got user refurbished device. I don't recommend T-Mobile at all.

On 10/29/13 I obtained a Samsung galaxy s4 and signed a two year contract. The plan is 50 a month and it was 20 a month for the phone. I only went with T mobile because they offered wifi calling which I need because I cannot get reception in my building. The phone worked ok and met my needs. Then 10/29/15 came. On that day I had finished paying for the phone and now just have to pay for the plan. Well suspiciously starting on that day I started having problems. Suddenly the phone would not hold a charge. The entire battery deplete in a few hours. The worst part is that between 10/29 and 11/4, I suddenly used all my allowed 1GB data. I keep getting messages throughout the day that I need to increase my plan and that the phone will run slower.
I am a disabled retired person who rarely uses the phone. I called customer support and they told me it could be the battery so I bought a new one. They also told me that the data was being used up because of the apps. I replied that I only use one of the apps didn't want the others but of course i can't delete them. I also asked that since the phone has had the same amount of apps since 2013 why suddenly this problem on the day the contract ended. He had no answer. Then today, I went to the T mobile store on north Broadway in Chicago, talked to man named Z. Funny they don't have full names, must be from all the complaints. He agreed after looking at my usage that I have always had a low data usage. He called T mobile, talked to them... the final answer it was used up because my apps updated.
I said I know they have updated in the last two years. That happens automatically. He said, "Don't update the apps anymore." I then said, "Ok. Then why is the battery suddenly depleting so quickly?" I started at noon with a 100 percent battery and by 130 it was half used and I hadn't used the phone. His reply was that the phone are not made to last, get a new phone. Funny how all this happened on the day the contract ended. They just want to keep you paying that monthly phone fee. I just left. I will get a new phone but not from these crooks... Go elsewhere.

Then I noticed that my bank had paid T-Mobile $120.00. I called several times trying to get this resolved and was assured this would be cleared up. After two weeks of trying to communicate with T-Mobile I received a plastic bank card informing me this was the result of an over payment.

This is very very important for me because my 7 y/o son is always on Netflix.
T-mobile is great because I travel overseas a lot, so free international roaming is excellent as my bill/roaming charges on return used to be several hundred dollars. Also, I live in New York so there are less issues with coverage for me. Some folks complain about coverage, but for me it's really simple. I can pay a lot more money for VZW or AT&T etc and get super awesome coverage, but I am rarely anywhere that's not covered for any extended period that would justify paying more every month. I believe T-Mobile makes good sense if you have a limited budget and want to get more bang for your buck.

I tried T-Mobile for a little over a month about two years ago. I switched phones two to three times within that period because they were all unsatisfactory to me. After experiencing many dropped calls and GPS not working when I needed it most, I returned the last phone and said I wouldn't be continuing with them. They insisted that I had to buy their phone. The original employee said that I had two weeks to try out each phone. What he meant was that I had the first two weeks to try out all the phones I wanted, or only within that first month? It was misleading the way he explained it. Also, I was slightly over the first month. The general manager agreed that I had been mislead and took back the phone after calling headquarters and getting permission. He said I would receive a pro-rated bill for the days that I had gone over for service.
I figured the bill would be for like $20 at most. I got a bill for over $400 in the mail. I had already paid the $70 for service the first month plus the $20ish or whatever it was for the phone rental. All of the phones I used were in the same price range. I took the bill to the manager and he said he'd take care of it since it did not make any sense. A couple of days later he called me and said he couldn't get anywhere with T-Mobile headquarters and was giving up. So, I tried calling myself and got put on hold and then disconnected. I gave up as well, after that because I felt so discouraged. If the mistake is impossible to be fixed from the inside, what the heck am I supposed to do?

T- Mobile needs to improve their signal. Towers are always being worked on (let them say it) and yet the slow internet, missed/drop calls are out of control. I've had to dial the same number 15 times before getting through. A call error message says "all signals are busy right now please try your call a little later." I can't believe that after choosing to pay a little extra a month the service is still the worse. Unhappy with my phone line service.

First of all I am a senior citizen. I receive my monthly money on the 3rd and 4th Wednesday of the month. I notice the billing period was not falling in with my money so I called to try and change the payment date to coincide with my scheduled payment and was told I couldn't change date because of the type of account I had and if I changed dates my payment would automatically go up 20.00 which I couldn't afford. So in Oct. my payment was due on 10/11/2015. I changed my service to AT&T on 10/10/2015 and I paid my T-Mobile on 10/21/2015. Received a letter from T-Mobile thanking me for my 7 years of service on 10/16/2015 with a reminder of payment due then. On 10/21/2015 received a letter that my bill was turned over to collection agent for payment of 100.71 cents then I get a final bill that I still owe them 99.44 cents for charges through 10/18/2015.

Based on T-Mobile website info, I was led to believe that I could get International Roaming for a recent trip to Italy. I brought in an unlocked Apple iPhone & spoke with a local agent about getting International roaming for a recent trip to Italy. I only needed the service for 1 Month. He sold me a $50 prepaid plan for 1 month. The phone worked fine in the US but when I got to Italy, nothing worked. I wound up having to buy an Italian cell sim that did work fine.
Upon returning to the US, I rechecked online FAQ (info is hidden unless opened) and learned that NOT all Simple Choice plans include global coverage. Pay-in-advance & Simple choice No Credit are EXCLUDED. I went to the store & the salesman told me he was unaware of the information on the website. Also, he could NOT refund my $50-only apply as a credit on activating a regular account with T-Mobile that could include International Roaming. I believe that the current T-Mobile website is misleading about whether the Simple Choice Pre Paid includes International Roaming. Should be much clearer to both consumers & sales persons!

My damaged phone now sits in an Assurant warehouse and a credit for the return does not show on my T-Mobile acct. I received a notice that my service would be disconnected unless $458 for the damaged phone was immediately paid for. I called T-Mobile and was told that I could not get the credit until the phone was sent to their warehouse. Why must the customer be inconvenienced when T-Mobile knows I've fulfilled my obligation? I was told to wait 1-2 billing cycles. I should be given an immediate credit not have to go through monthly calls to keep my service on. They will lose me and my family as customers.

If you travel a lot for work or for fun, you'll get a hard time using the apps on your smartphone! Only big cities has 4G signal. Once you pass them, you go to few bars of 2G signal. I believe it's fake 2G signal coz you can't watch YouTube, use the web or even receive a picture on text message sometimes! You could be a completely out of signal in some places like North Pennsylvania, North West Ohio and more especially if you're in the country and away from interstate! If you live in a big city and you don't travel much then you should get a good signal. Prices are fair, I have four lanes for $150. I don't think any phone carrier can beat that price and that one of T-Mobile good sides.

We signed up to try the T-Mobile Service during a 14 Day Free Trial. The actual cell service was horrible! It would not work 5 feet inside my office in the middle of downtown San Francisco. It would not work at half the other places I went. Because of this we cancelled within the 14 days. Then the problems got worse! We kept getting billed for $117.34 - though no money was to be owed if we cancelled during the period. We called 4 times to get them to correct the billing error - each time the rep could see that we cancelled within the cancellation window and that no money was actually owed. Each time we were told that it had been fixed. Despite this another notice would arrive.
We then got another notice saying we had to pay or this would be placed in collections. We called a 5th time - we invited we be transferred to billing. That rep again could see that we cancelled within the window and no balance was owed. She swore that she had zeroed out balance and that this would not be sent to collections. What happened next? You guessed it! A collections notice. We are now 2+ hours into phone calls to get this corrected and we now have a collections notice. This is a nightmare. We are very careful to pay all bills we owe on time. The collections company is only open 7-7 Monday through Friday - So joy I get to call them from work. Awesome. On today's call back to T-Mobile they again assured me that this account WAS NOT in collections! Really? So Convergent Collections agency sends me notices that I owe T-Mobile $117.34 because why?? The nightmare continues.... Do yourself a favor - DO NOT TRY T-MOBILE!

I switched from Verizon to T-Mobile. They told me they were going to buy the contract I had with Verizon if I switched. I was so stupid to believe that. I submitted all the information they needed. I stayed with T-Mobile over three months, and had to go with another company because T-mobile's signal was terrible. I was paying a lot, and never could finish a conversation because calls dropped all the time.
I called customer service to ask about the reimbursement from my contract they bought from Verizon. They told me that "SADLY" they received my information but since I am not with T-Mobile any longer, there was nothing they could do! I asked to speak with a manager; He told me they got my info but it was denied because there was something missing. I told him I was never contacted to inform me that.

First of all, I am not even a customer of T-Mobile and don't have an account with them, however, I received a letter from a company called "receivable management services" claiming that I owe T-Mobile USA debt. Initially I thought this was a scam but when I called them, it is a real company and they have my social and DOB. The funny thing is that they did not even spell my first name right and APT number (The mailman is smart enough to deliver the mail to my mailbox). Then I was trying to call T-Mobile (got free toll number from tmobile.com). Their ridiculous automation system asks me for my phone number (which is supposed to be the account number) so that they can find my account information. Very bad I am their customer and calling from my AT&T number.
You see how weird it is? They are trying to collect money from someone who even have any service from them. Even I repeated multiple times "customer representative", the stupid phone system just did not connect me with any real person so that I could talk with. In the end, the automation phone system even hang up my call.
I believe that T-Mobile leaked my information and faked an account. I am in contract with AT&T, but I called T-Mobile about half year ago asking after I fulfilled my AT&T contract, I was thinking changing to other carrier and would like to know what they have. They asked for my social and personal information. After making sure that I am not applying an account with because I am with AT&T and can't break the contract, they said no worries. Then I gave them my information. I was so wrong to do it (Now I regret!).
Without any luck with their automation 800 system, I had to visit their store and grab someone to speak with me. After hearing my story, the first customer representative seemed very reluctant to help, saying he could not do anything and asking me to call T-Mobile. I said I did but phone system could not route my call to a human because I don't have an account. Finally somebody else took over and started the phone call. Literally it was a call about an hour. I waited in the store and one customer rep was making the call. In the end, the customer rep told me they will contact me in 7 business days to resolve the issue.
Because the bad experience I had with T-Mobile, I asked for the contact information of this customer rep so that I could follow up directly with him in case nobody calls me in next 7 days. This customer representative was reluctant to give me his contact, saying "I am not going to work here soon." Apparently he was trying to get him off this case. I said "how soon is that? in the next 7 days?" Then he wrote down his name on a piece of paper and handed it to me. Is this good customer service?
Although I am not 100% satisfied with my current carrier AT&T, but at least, every time after talked with some customer representative in person, they always hand over their name card and ask me to call them if I have any questions. At least, they don't leave you alone. This is why AT&T is bigger company, at least they can afford a name card for their employee. I know who to call in case I need to.
I never received a bill from T-Mobile but a letter from the debt collector. T-Mobile does not even have my correct name and address. I don't have a phone number from them, however, they could release my information to 3rd party to destroy my credit score. As the 3rd party suggested, I already filed police report. Is there any lawyer looking at this forum? Is there anyone else having similar fraud problem? Let's sue this bad bad bad company!

If you bring up that concern they will give you an alt code for another company that they have chosen.

I feel that I should have the say in the company that monitors my credit when it wasn't my fault that I trusted T-Mobile with my application. Two other comments on the matter. First it was six days for Experian to notify T-Mobile. The other is that in the written statement from the CEO of T-MOBILE.

I am tired of cellular companies treating people as if they don't matter once they have their business. I was told by a T-Mobile employee that they only care for the ones they don't have and only think of the ones with them in time of billing and transfer at the end of a contract.

Where to begin? Dropped calls, data usage runs constantly leaving you with none (yes I have changed settings yet somehow continues to run). Now, I have had my personal information leaked by their website. I paid my bill through their online mobile services and it claimed my identity was safe so I proceeded (big mistake my military ID is on file with them). The company is overpriced for their poor services. I have one phone that I pay for with a reasonable high speed data plan and pay nearly $104.00 for a month. At this price I could very well have two phones with unlimited high speed data with sprint or even have a family plan with another company.
I called up to complain in hopes of a discount or something with all the trouble they have caused including random charges I have had to be refunded for. They sent me a signal enhancer for my phone at home which does not do anything to improve call quality or speed services. The only time I get decent signal is with WiFi connection or the first week of my new billing cycle.
If I could give them a negative score I would give them the worst possible score. STAYING AWAY FROM T MOBILE especially in the state of Virginia.

Then I received a bill for 350$ for some device they claim to have sent me but didn't.

Then I get a bill a few weeks later for over 900 for TWO devices that they were expecting me to send them!!!!! I never got one device let alone two, some type of wifi thing they said.
So I call and am very upset, letting them know I had already called and that the charges against me were dropped. The man I spoke with said that it didn't show I used any devices and that he thought these charges were crazy too but that something had gone wrong with Mary's fixing of my bill and she left no notes for them to go off of, so they still had to investigate to make sure that they couldn't find proof that I received and used some devices that they need back now.

In January 2015 we switched from another carrier to T-Mobile because my parents had such good service with them. Our problems started in early February. When we signed up we got 2 new (never used in sealed boxes) Galaxy S5's and 1 new (never used in a sealed box) Note 4. Before the boxes were ever opened we had decided on unlimited talk, text and data plans for all three phones. My husband works on the road a lot so we depend on his cell phone to keep in touch daily.
A few days later my husband left for a different state and tried to use his brand new S5. He immediately got the No Network Connection message. We called and were told that the signal was good and he should not have any trouble, try using WiFi calling. Still he got the No Network Connection message. So he decided to use his cell phone provided through work (Not a T-Mobile phone). In early February he decided to try his phone again and was online when the message came up that he had reached 5 gigs of data and his phone was shut down. Completely. We called and were told that should not have happened, but we did stay on the phone for over an hour trying to resolve the issue. No resolution. Needless to say he hasn't even tried to use his phone since then.
In March, my problems started. I have the S5 also. If I put the phone on my shoulder to talk the phone disconnects the call. If I go outside the city limits of my town, I get the No Network Connection message. I don't receive all my calls and my texts, sometimes take more than 36 hours to get to me. Not all of them, but about 30% of them. After numerous calls from March through June we still don't have that phone working properly. We finally just gave up and tried to deal with it for a little while.
I started having more problems with my phone in August and starting the calling again. When I would call they would tell me to switch to WiFi calling or switch back to normal calling. After about the 5th or 6th time they did this I told them "it is not working. We need to fix this." So they sent out a signal booster for my house. I hooked it up according to the instructions included but could not get a good signal. I tried every window in my house. The signal booster actually reduced my signal strength on my phone. So it is boxed up and getting sent back.
The last straw... My daughter drove 200 miles to an airport in a very large metroplex to pick up a friend of hers for the weekend. She used her phone's GPS to get there. In the middle of the city, on a very busy interstate with construction all around, she gets the message that she has reached her 5 gig limit and her phone shuts down. She was stranded and had to go to a gas station to see if she could get directions to the airport. She did make it to the airport and home, but not without a lot of stress for her and me. That happened on a Thursday evening.
Friday morning I got up and switched our service to another provider. While at the new provider we tried to port all three numbers over. Two of the numbers went but the third one (my husband's) was blocked from porting over. I didn't think much about it and just got him a new number since he didn't use that number anyway. On Monday I called T-Mobile to get an address to send this signal booster back to. I don't know why, but I thought to ask if all my lines were disconnected. My husband's number was still active and being charged! I told them to immediately disconnect the line and cancel ALL of my services. That everything would be sent to them in the morning. That's when they told me I had to send $1200.00 for the remaining balance on the three non-working phones.
Beware when changing services from T-Mobile. Make sure if a number does not port over that you call and cancel that line. T-Mobile will just leave your account open and continue to bill you for it. My last interaction with customer service lasted 55 minutes and 52 seconds. After that long I finally got an email address to talk to someone who might be able to answer my questions. If you decide to give T-Mobile a chance, watch your bill. I had a $130.00 charge labeled "Other Fees" that no one could explain. Just be careful. I have not had a good experience and am glad I don't have to deal with them anymore.

When I sent in my phone to be replaced (at suggestion of T-Mobile rep) because of defective volume, they sent me a replacement Samsung Galaxy S4. When they received the phone, they sent me a photo that the screen was broken and so I had to pay $400 for the replacement. This was just two weeks ago. The replacement, by the way, was simply the front part of the phone - no battery, cords or back - and refurbished. $400 for this!!! They said this was the policy. I explained that I had originally bought the S4 from them for $165, so how could they charge me $400 for a replacement "part" - not the whole assembly. I further explained that I could have bought this S4 online for $90 refurbished - that's what S4s are selling for today. All the reps I spoke with couldn't defend this, but they said that this was the "policy."
Therefore, T-Mobile has essentially made me spent $565 for a OUT OF DATE phone - the original price plus the $400. I have been with Omnipoint/Voicestream/T-Mobile for 16 years straight! Can you believe this? They eventually took off 25% - big deal. Because of the system of the phone, I cannot go to Verizon or Sprint, and ATT hasn't got good service in this area. I would leave T-Mobile in a heartbeat, but I am already down so much money. I can't afford to change and have to buy a new phone.

I decided to switch to T-Mobile to AT&T despite some of the reviews I saw. I call T-Mobile, expressed my concerns about switching and they asked me for the zip codes where I normally use the service such as my home, office, etc, and they supposedly, verified it and I would get excellent coverage. Well this has not been the case. When I call my wife from my office and she is at home, we typically must redial about 4 or 5 times due to drop calls. And we are not even moving, so no handover issue or anything like that. However, I did expect some service issues based on the reviews I had seen. I do believe in "you get what you pay for."
My biggest issue is that the whole offer from T-Mobile was also a ripoff. I was offered $2600 USD to switch my 4 lines to T-Mobile, however, I had to return all my AT&T phones (3 Iphone 5s, and an Samsung basic phone), and send my termination fees and I would get a Visa card with my $2600 usd credit. Well, that never happened. After many call and getting bounced around through several departments, and even other companies, I was told that they could have never promised that amount, because it was subject to several issues, and that I was only getting slightly over $800 USD.
At this point I still have not received that credit, only a couple of partial credits, a visa card with $445 USD and a $225 USD credit on my bill. However, I owe T-Mobile almost $3000 USD for the phones that they sent me to replace my perfectly working phone that I had to return. My bill is a mess, I have reviewed it and I cannot understand it, and I have called for people to explain it at T-Mobile, and they always claim that there is some credit or adjustment that will be done in the following bill, but it never happens. All in All, a really bad mistake. DO NOT FALL FOR T-MOBILE'S DECEPTIVE OFFERS. I HAVE LEARNED THE HARD WAY, and I am trying to prevent others from making the same awful mistake. I used to complain about my previous service provider and looking back it is still a little more expensive, but well worth it.

Well what can you do? Cheap phone company, cheap service. You get what you pay for. Reception is terrible almost everywhere. I always have no service, and my 4G constantly switches to E. When I do have 4G, it is insanely slow and I have not even used 1 GB of my 3 allotted GB. Feels like they slowed down the internet speed because a bunch of people in LA use T-Mobile too (which I thought was illegal to do). Very disappointed. 0/10 wouldn't recommend.

I attempted to refill my account before the minutes expired. I received, without explanation, the following message: "Dear William, Your recent refill transaction for T-Mobile phone number [given] was not successful. This order has been canceled and you will not be charged for this order even though a temporary hold may appear on your account for the attempted amount. To refill again in the future please log in to your t-mobile.com account. Or you can dial *ADD (*233) or visit t-zones from your mobile phone. Regards, T-Mobile Wireless Customer Support."
This happened three times, and *ADD was equally worthless. The online error message gave me a number to call to reach a refill specialist, but the number hung up on me repeatedly. When I reached customer service through other so-called customer service numbers, I was transferred to numbers that hung up on me. When I finally got through to somebody in the refill department, she told me the transaction had been rejected. (I double-checked my credit card account, and it is well under the credit limit and in good standing.) When I tried to buy more minutes with my checking account, I got the message "Page Expired." When I posted an inquiry on T-mobile's Facebook page, a representative got back to me quickly, and wrote, "Chat Conversation Start 17 hours ago. Att: Jonathan **."
Here is what happened (3 times) when I tried to recharge my account with my credit card, which IS in good standing (I checked it online today): "Dear William, Your recent refill transaction for T-Mobile phone number ** was not successful. This order has been canceled and you will not be charged for this order even though a temporary hold may appear on your account for the attempted amount. To refill again in the future please log in to your t-mobile.com account. Or you can dial *ADD (*233) or visit t-zones from your mobile phone. Regards, T-Mobile Wireless Customer Support." *ADD did not work either. When I finally was able to talk to a refill specialist after having been referred to numbers that simply hung up on me, the refill specialist also was unable to complete the transaction. When I tried to use my checking account, I got "Page Expired" and the transaction again failed (in Internet Explorer).
"Thank you for bringing this to our attention William. We most certainly want to get to the bottom of this for you. Was this for a prepaid account? When did you initially notice the charge on your credit card? How much were you reloading to your account? We will do everything in our power to be sure this is researched. We will need access into the account to get started. Can you verify through our secure server: https://tmobile.secureauthentication.com/facebook .

When I tried that link in Firefox, I got "Error Could not get session from redirect." (This was after I enabled JavaScript for the site.) I was able to open the link in Internet Explorer but when I press Submit nothing happens. It is pretty clear by now that T-mobile's customer service system is absolutely worthless from one end to the other, with Web pages that don't work, account refill options (Web and phone) that don't work, phone numbers that hang up on you instead of connecting you to somebody who can help, duplication of effort (e.g. you type in your phone number on the phone as requested, then the customer rep asks for your phone number), and at least three hours down the sewer. I was finally able to add minutes to the account when I tried again with my checking account but if the system is going to work randomly and intermittently and the above problems are going to happen, this is not the right company with which to do business.

I have several regular lines with T-mobile and have for 3 or 4 years. I dropped one of my regular lines because the "extra line for $10" didn't apply in my situation anymore and went to prepaid just for that one extra phone. And it was just a backup phone... one to use as backup or to call my main phone with if I lost it. Well about a week later it ran out of minutes and I hadn't even used it. I called T-mobile prepaid... which is a different company apparently because they were really jerks. I said I needed to see the usage on my phone. They said that they don't give that information out. I am not believing what I am hearing. I talked to a supervisor and he told me I would have to call the police and get a subpoena.
I spend no less than $1200 a year with T-mobile and that is how they treat me? I took the sim out of my phone, got a google number for it and connected it to wifi where I can use it at home for free. T-mobile prepaid will never see me again on their billing and the parent T-mobile is next to get dumped. I only lost $10... It was the unethical nature of this company that upset me so.

They tell me all these promises about new promotions and they give me the run arounds about the services that they offer. Then when I actually go inside a T-Mobile store... It's a totally different story. It's not what they told me thru the phone. They were going to give me a upgrade jump with no money down... Any phone I wanted. Plus just pay a service change of 15.00. No money down for the jump upgrade. When I went inside the store... They told me it was not what they said. They wanted 350.00 down for the new jump upgrade and 80.00 for service change... And I still needed to pay the phones off if I wanted to do the jump upgrade.
I got tired of dealing with their fake promises and fake advertisements. So I decided to switch to Sprint. T-Mobile has the worst customer service ever. I will never go back with them again. Then I called to get a quote again... Some rep told me that I didn't pay my bill on time. Really??? I paid it on time... every time when I got a message from them that my bill is due at this date. So I didn't get my quote. I was so disappointed that they turned me down just to see why they would quote me with no money down... Pick any phone I wanted. And no strings attached.

I just received the phone and started using it today. The videos will play once, but if I try to replay a video (whether it be on Google, Internet Explorer, YouTube, or one created on my phone) it will either lag (play the complete sound before the video plays without sound) play with no sound, or play sound and video does not play. I contacted customer care, and was transferred to technical support where they had me reset some of the app settings which did not fix the problem. Considering I only have the phone 1 day, they told me that I need to contact the Google providers or Samsung itself and see why this new phone was having such problems. I also informed the technical support that the phone itself would freeze up and not work properly. I have been battling with these problems with the Samsung Galaxy 5 for quite some time, and this has become ridiculous.
T-mobile did not resolve any issue, and considering this is a "new phone" I should not be going on a run around all over again with my phone. It took me 6 months to get my phone replaced from the issue previously and it was a struggle with that because they waited until the port cover broke off to have me file an insurance claim. This is becoming ridiculous! People pay insurance on a phone, have warranties on their phones, and still have to go through problems with the provider of the phone, which ultimately are either not resolved, or are resolved with the worst bending of an arm, losing your left leg and a hand as the outcome... EXTREMELY DISSATISFIED CUSTOMER.

Worst experience ever. Added a new line to my plan and they said they would cover the 400 balance on my old carrier if I traded in my phone. Well when I got the reimbursement card it was only 45 dollars because they used the trade in value towards the new phone instead of putting it on the reimbursement card. I called and spoke to supervisors and a million representatives because I still owe AT&T 400 but they said there is not a thing they can do about it.
A million dollar company can't cover a $400 cost because their staff misinformed their customer. They kept telling me "if you look online you'll see the terms of the deal there, so I'm sorry if my staff gave you the wrong information but the terms of the deal are on the site".

I bought last year my son an HTC M8 as a surprise. I paid an almost $400 deposit for the phone plus other charges. Unfortunately, this past June someone stole it from him. I reported to T-Mobile's insurance company and reported it. As usual, they opened a request for a new cell, of course paying $175.00 as a deductible in order to get another cell. Back then in June I asked if they were available, and the answered was no. Called again on August and asked again for the phone, and the response was "We don't have it in warehouse yet..." Called a few times and last September 7, 2015, and they still don't have it available. Almost 6 months and these thieves saying they don't have them.
The original phone was replaced for a LG Electronics G3. They said that it is compatible with the HTC. Read all the features of the LG, and almost half of the apps that HTC have, the LG doesn't have it. And they have the nerves to say that I will have to wait a year if it's necessary. T-Mobile is stealing our money giving us a insurance company that it's not responding responsibly. Ripping off customers. Also, clouds charges in the bill that sometimes you don't know where they come from. T-Mobile says sometimes is computer error, but if I don't pay attention and call, I end up paying more. Someone has to do something. This can't continue this way. I feel that I paid the same bill twice and this is not good.

They show that I can use their "partners", which means that I can use other carrier's cell towers. Not only can I not use the internet (unless I'm using Wi-Fi), I can't even make a phone call here.
After hours on the phone with customer service people and tech services, a service tech from T-Mobile finally told me that a year ago AT&T wanted to charge T-Mobile to use their towers for a fee. T-Mobile refused, so AT&T stopped T-Mobile customers from using their towers for no fee. T-Mobile will let you use their towers (for a large fee). Nowhere on their website does it say that I would not be able to use my phone in my area. It does however say that data speeds may be reduced. There is nothing that T-Mobile wants to do for me other than to apologize. In the meantime, I am stuck with two $700 paperweights. T-Mobile's coverage map is false and misleading.

Turning off VM took 9+ calls; getting account on the Zero Down upgrade took over 12 calls and the intervention of T-force; using JUMP took over 9 calls and NO ONE could answer why I "should have it" but didn't. Then came well over 20 calls about the return of a defective phone. In the meantime, I had to terminate several calls due to the noisy background in which I couldn't hear my agent. Following a BBB complaint about alleged "unreturned" defective phone (had UPS verification), attempted to call 611 w/ question about new phone. Waited over 45+ minutes on UNANSWERED hold at 6:10 a.m. EST; same thing a few hours later. Sent email to their corporate department about the call queue. "Cindy" of the corporate department advised that I had "called too often" and was placed in a 'special' queue. Odd how this coincided with my BBB complaint!
I am being punished for THEIR errors requiring me to call. Does T-mobile know how batteries drain on hold so long? Where in the TOS is so-called "calling too often"? While I like T-mobile, they are a spiteful, VENGEFUL company. I just want back to the 'normal' call queue. As it stands, I cannot reach them by phone. Stores are not convenient.

I have been charged for approx. $22 for four international calls, which I never made. When I called on 611, to understand this charge, T-Mobile's customer care representatives were repeatedly telling me the same story again and again. "Sir this is done from your side". It's hard to understand that how comes without making any out of US call, I am being forced to pay for that. This is the worst mobile service because they are charging their valued customer for the services which they never used and their customer care doesn't mean to help the customers. They looks like recorded IVR which is repeating the same things again and again! Highly disappointed.

I was due to travel outside the country for 4 mos. and on the day of travel I went to T-Mobile specifically inquiring about a pre-paid plan that would hold my number and money on account for the time I returned. I was told that it was going to be on-account for a year if not used. Four mos. later, I go to T-Mobile to get another SIM card (since I misplaced the original) and then I'm told that the money I put on account 4 mos. ago was only for one month! "But that does not make any sense," I argued. "Why would I do that if I was due to travel for 4 months!?!"
The "Manager" of the Astoria, NY branch refused or simply failed to grasp the logic, having to repeat myself several times (once more). His response, "I don't know what happened." (Implying I cannot do anything). "But you do," I said, "It's on the screen in front of you. I can even show you my itinerary which proves that I was out of the country (and could not use my phone), so why would I purchase a monthly plan on the day I was to travel for four months!?!" He still failed or refused to comprehend T-Mobile's misrepresentation and my loss of $55. As "Manager" he did absolutely nothing to remedy the situation claiming to the end that he does not know, even with the evidence presented.

I am a T-Mobile customer for quite some time. Couple of months ago, I added a second line but since I was not using the line as I originally thought, I requested cancellation of the line. I had to call them over four times with this request. Usually, I get an agent after 10-15 min, the person goes through the same song and dance routine and tells that I am handed over to cancellation department. There is an incredibly long wait here, I suspect by design. Finally, they disconnect and I repeat the process. Sick. To add insult to injury, the agent is not ready to cancel and reimburse the charges on a pro-rated basis. I have very frustrating experience with T-Mobile and would not recommend them.

I changed to MetroPCS; I called T-Mobile and request acct# and password and I mentioned to operator I was transferring acct. I changed my line to Metro. I received text from T-Mobile to charge my acct, I dial *233 as required. I called T-Mobile customer service and cancelled account. Cancelled account means, in universal understanding, to terminate a contract. The representative told me that account will not be charged and my account was zero balance. Next day I noticed funds at hold in my bank account and then it showed as charged. I called T-Mobile and I was told by Cesar that as per terms and conditions, my payment is automatic and will not be refunded. I was transferred to supervisor Mark who also confirmed that T-Mobile will not refund my money that will give me a month of service.
I don't have a phone to use service so I will need to buy another phone. What advantage is that? Mark refused to transfer to upper management, said that his supervisor was Julio that will not take message to return my calls. He said they don't open cases for discussing and follow up, he had already said the last word for this case; will not give my money back that I should have mentioned to the customer service representative that auto payments needs to be stop. I'm very upset. I tried to enter T-Mobile account online to cancel auto payments just in case T-Mobile decides to charge my account next month and my account has been BLOCKED.

I went into the store after I was told numerous times that my plan would not change (that my bill would not go up from what it was) if I went in and received the promotional tablet that they was giving away at no charge. I looked at my bill today and my bill went up $102.00 just for adding the tablet to my bill. I had also asked numerous times in the store that this would not in no way shape or form make my bill go up any higher. I called customer service about the bill and was told that there was nothing that they could do since I added another line it made my bill go up. I then called back, was told by a customer service rep that it was their fault and that she was going to make it correct. She credited my account 39.97 but that still does not help me with my bill.
I then spoke to another person and they said that they could only get me back down to my original bill amount if they put the tablet on its own bill which would cost me $50.00 a month. I said that is not any cheaper cause I will now have 2 bills to pay. He said that there was nothing he could do about it but if I wanted to take the Tablet back to the store I could pay a restocking fee of $50.00. Which I told him that is what I will do but that the $50.00 will get paid when I have the money and not before then. Just want to make everyone aware that T-mobile is shady and you have to watch them and get something in writing that your bill will not change. Watch out for these shady people. They fraudulently don't tell you everything.

Scam!!!! Transferred from AT&T and they promised to pay off my bill of $306 but instead only paid me $165 and deducted the remaining $141 for my "trade in value" of my phone.... The trade in value has nothing to do with what it cost to pay off AT&T for their service so now I’m stuck paying out of my pocket to pay AT&T. So if you plan on switching to T-Mobile, your phone bill will be cheaper but it will cost you a lot more than what you expect to cancel service with old carrier. So beware of T-Mobile, not to mention everyone who works there doesn't have the slightest clue of what’s going on and don’t have any answers other than we’re sorry. If I could give no stars I would. These people have no idea on how to conduct good business...

I recently switched from Verizon to T-Mobile because Verizon is a money hungry company that would not offer the consumer anything for the amount of money it costs to have them as a carrier. I went to the Danbury CT store and switched to T-Mobile. They were very nice in the store, showed me a map of coverage ** and gave me a free wifi router.
Well, that being said, I have ZERO service without wifi and I live less than 1 mile from a "supposed" T-mobile 4g tower. I have called numerous times to complain that I cannot make just 1 call and have a conversation. I have to make 3-4 calls to finish the call. They told me they will send me a "free 4g booster" which has not arrived yet (not hopeful it will even work).

Provided all my requirements for a phone that could port over to Verizon if the T-Mobile service didn't work from my Irvine business (home). The sales person # ** LIED and told me the best scenario would be to purchase the phone outright instead of signing a 2-year contract based on my needs. He also told me I had to use the phone for 60 days before it could transfer to Verizon if I needed to do so.
On 5/3/15 I purchased a Samsung S5 for $620.90 so I didn't have to sign a service contract. The phone worked periodically, dropped calls while I was on the phone with customers so went to store on 9/3/15, spoke with Matt, Retail Associate Manager, explaining that I contacted Verizon to port over but was not compatible. The rep lied when he told me, "phone is not locked and can be transferred to Verizon, if necessary". Well the truth is yes, the phone is not locked however the phone cannot be used at Verizon because the "frequency" built into the phone is NOT COMPATIBLE with Verizon. Really, why would I pay $620.90 full retail for a phone rather than get it for free with a 2-year contract. Obviously, my requirement was to transfer to Verizon if T-Mobile service didn't work.
The rep LIED and Matt supported his deceit! Why did the rep tell me to use the phone for 60 days before transferring to Verizon? HE KNEW about the 14 day return policy! Spoke to Michelle and Donovan from T-Mobile Customer Loyalty - they recommended store to give me a full refund but Matt and his District Manager (they'd never provide me with name nor was I ever contacted) declined the refund. I even asked if they'd replace the Samsung with an iPhone 6 that WOULD be compatible with Verizon. No, they didn't even call me back when they "said" they would.

My wife have had her line with this company for more than 7 years, with additional 3 lines for each one of our children. Pretty much every two years we renew phones because the plan already paid the phones or in older days the contract expired. This is the first time trying to unlock phone because we feel that is not fear to have phones laying down while someone else can used and even worst is those phone are yours. To the point, my wife a year ago changed her phone because a problem with the screen, then a month later the contract expired and she got a iPhone 5S. This year two of my kids have a similar situation and change the HTC 1S for different reasons, and they send Galaxy S3 because were the equivalent, but at the same time they offer LG's so we got them and the kids never got to use the Galaxys.
Now almost a year later we tried to unlock them and they said that those phones cannot unlock because they have not been used for a period of time of 45 minutes. So what were we suppose to do? Used the refurbished phones and let the shiny LGs get dusty? Beside the fact that those phones were already paid what else we need to do? Who else can help if the customer service are square with the "requirements to unlock the phones"... it is a nightmare try to get some help, it is absurd and frustrating. Conclusion, we paid phones, T-Mobile sold us phones that cannot be unlocked, so I have a phone valued $us 400.00 that I cannot use. Isn't this a rip off?

First the customer service representative promised me a refund, since the phone was totally nonfunctional. This was cancelled without any notification. It went on from there.
Six times they made promises; six times this was cancelled afterwards; six times they did not notify me of the change.

Purchase iPhone six for my daughter on 8/28/2015. Switched from Verizon to T-Mobile for better rate. We signed up for four lines. On 8/29/2015, my son wanted to upgrade his phone to a Samsung 64 gig. He told sales associates which phone he wanted, but when he got home, he realized he was given the WRONG phone. He returned promptly to the store (within 30 minutes) and was charged a FIFTY DOLLAR RESTOCKING FEE!!! This was the error of the store. Hours later, I went to the store and demanded his money back (he had paid cash). They said they couldn't do a cash return but it would instead show up on my bill as a credit. I argued endlessly to get his money back but they declined.
The next day (three days into our T-Mobile service) we noticed that my daughter's iPhone couldn't send or received text messages unless she was in a WiFi area. After two hours on the phone with Apple support, we were told to contact T-Mobile and it was determined that the sales associate never applied the mobile data function to her phone!!! Seriously? Later that day, my son was experiencing the same problem and I had called T-Mobile again and they had to activate the mobile data. The same day I had been experiencing "NO SERVICE" displays on my phone both in the school I work in and the house I reside in. I went back to the store and they gave me a REFRESHER (booster... whatever it's called). They assured me it was going to help my service. Well it did not. Again NO SERVICE where I worked or where I lived!!!
I went back to store again and was told I needed to upgrade from iPhone 5 which I had, to an iPhone six and that would fix my no service issues. So I did that. What a JOKE! That didn't help out one bit. When I went to get the iPhone 6, they ported over my pic and videos and DOUBLED my contacts. I asked the associate if he could delete the additional contacts and he shrugged his shoulders and told me I could go onto my computer at home and delete the additional ones. Really crappy customer service!!! How nice to tell a customer to go home and fix the error we just made. Also, I called tech support and the tech guy "updated the APN numbers" on my phone and he was sure that would help my signal. ha... no such luck.

In other words they want me to believe they're right, & me, the bank, the bank statements, & all the missing money is wrong. They even have the nerve to tell to you like they are better & talk over & interrupt you when you're asking questions.

I just got switched to a T-Mobile prepaid plan (100 minutes free for the first month because Brightspot/Target customers had to do so). Two weeks later, I got cut off in the middle of an important phone call because "there was no credit on my account." My cell and online account stated I needed to purchase more minutes, yet I KNEW I was far from 100 minute use (received or placed). After searching on their website for a detail of my minute usage and my 2nd call to T-Mobile, the new representative COUNTED my minutes and saw that I had only used 44 min out of that 100. "Sorry, glitch in the system, my manager is okay to credit you..." you name it, the apologies repertoire!
Bottom line: I had the representative check and THERE IS NO WEBSITE LINK OR ACCESS TO A DETAIL/BREAKDOWN OF THE CUSTOMER MINUTE USAGE - that link used to exist in my prior plan w/ T-Mobile. The consumer can only pay to refill whenever the system says all prepaid minutes are used. This is purely fraudulent practice, and most customers must fall into the trap. This monopoly by cell phone providers and their fraudulent practices is getting out of control!

I switched from Verizon to T-Mobile a couple months ago and the T-Mobile reps at the store told me that they would take care of up to $650 from the ongoing Verizon plan. I got my bills from Verizon and I contacted T-Mobile and went to their store multiple times, but they never paid it back and I keep getting bills from Verizon that now I have to pay back in full almost $1000. Do not change your plan until you are completely done with the payments is all I can say or there are cell phone companies like this who will completely make your life miserable especially if you don't get much income.

If you think getting a contract with T-Mobile might be a good idea... you are sadly mistaken. I made the awful error or thinking they might be a good company. After having sprint for 2 years my iPhone broke and thought maybe t-mobile would be a better company for the small town I live in. It was worse. I never thought that could be possible. I went in March 2015 and got the galaxy s5. They had (and still might have?) a 2 week trial period so I thought hey, why not give it a try? I got it 45 mins away in Sarasota Florida. As soon as I got back on the highway and plugged the phone into my auxiliary cord to play music was the first indication this company blows. Sarasota is a huge city and already had no service??? I shrugged it off and continued my way home.
Now keep in mind, they "checked" my area and said I would have excellent cell service. Liars. I had NO service at my house. I was furious. Like I had previously said the closest t-mobile store to me was 45+ minutes away. So I had to wait until my next day off work to drive up there to return the phone. I bought the phone 03/20/2015 & returned it on 03/30/2015 (10 days later). They said everything was fine, gave me their fake apology they could come up with and I was on my merry way.
Now, on August 27th I decided to check my credit on creditkarma.com and saw I had one collections file. I had no clue what I could have a collections for. I don't have a credit card. So I checked and sure enough it said I owed $60 to t-mobile!!! What!? They said it was a trial 2 week period risk free! This is infuriating. I got nothing in the mail that told me I owed anything! So I called t-mobile customer service and the lady said she couldn't do anything about it because it had already went over to collections. She couldn't even see what the $60 came from or why they sent it over. How unprofessional. So she gave me a number for the collection agency. I called and the lady there, explained what I had to. So now I have to take time out of my busy life to get this all handled. $60 is ruining my credit. And completely not my fault. I am so angry. So thanks t-mobile for being a ** company. No wonder your average star rating is 1 star. I wish I could give 0 stars.

I was told that T-Mobile would pay my entire bill and cell phone from AT&T. Fine! Went for it - sound fine, my monthly bill would be the same every month. Everything was unlimited. Cool, no worries. Called AT&T, cancelled my contract with them. Come to find out I did the biggest mistake - went through a HUGE SCAM WITH STAFF MEMBERS of T-Mobile. I wish I never left AT&T, but I guess that's how T-Mobile employees receive their points on the other end by ** others up. $776.00 is now coming out of my own pocket to pay for the "entire" bill T-mobile employees told me that would be covered.

I switched over to T-Mobile in May. I mailed in my old devices and a copy of my bill from my previous carrier. I received several emails stating that my devices have been received and also a reference number that they had been processed. I keep getting emails that I should receive an email with T-Mobile the value of the devices. I've never received the email. I continue to contact them through email and get a standard reply. I have called several times and keep getting transferred because they have no record of receiving my devices in their system. The last department I talked to told me if I mailed the devices to them now they would honor the 60 day trade-in. I asked him "how can I mail in devices I don't have?" All I have are emails from t-mobile as proof that I mailed in my devices. Looks like I'm out of $1400.00 because all I get from t-mobile is the runaround.

I went AGAIN to a T-Mobile store, and got the same answer "We CANNOT make the correction, you need to call T-Mobile customer service." So I asked them to call them from that store.
They called T-Mobile Customer Service, and they talked for about 20 minutes, and told me that NOBODY can make the correction... "You need to cancel your current account, and get another phone number to register everything with the right information." What? IT WAS THEIR FAULT, and NOBODY can help me.

My Nexus 5 started turning off and on and optimizing apps one day out of the blue.. I do remember doing the update on my phone. So at first my phone would turn off then turn on optimize my apps (which took forever to do that) then it would be on for a little bit then do it all over again throughout the day. After a few days I called T-Mobile because my phone got to the point where I'd be lucky if it stayed on for 20 mins. The girl told me all the tricks to restart my phone. My phone wouldn't even let me reset it. It would interrupt and try to turn on again. Finally got my phone on after optimizing apps. She said "let's do a master reset". Luckily I had everything backed up. I Completely wiped my phone and it still did it for about a week. Because I cracked my phone T-Mobile wouldn't send me a new one without paying the insurance for it!!!
Eventually it stopped for a couple months, then started doing it again recently. This time got to point where it just wasn't starting at all, just vibrate Google pops up, then turn off, vibrate, do it again. Did it sooo much killed my battery trying to reboot!! After reading about everyone else, I feel like this phone needs to be recalled and looked into!! I called T-Mobile and again they tried to charge me the insurance fee. The supervisor tried to blame me and tell me this was all my fault because I dropped my phone. This was all happening because of that! I feel scammed out of my money by Nexus and T-Mobile!! T-Mobile sent me a letter today saying my phone did all that cause of water damage now!! What water damage!?? I am a very angry customer! T-Mobile wants to charge me $300 because they sent me a new phone.

I purchased a phone from T-Mobile, it was a Sony Xperia. I have had to replace the phone twice already because it doesn't work properly. The last phone I received has been freezing again and the apps won't open. I have called T-Mobile three times, I would say I have spent about an hour each time and went to their store twice. The last time, the representative at the store stated that most Xperias were having the same issues to call customer service which I did.
After spending over an hour on the phone with them, they told me that basically, I could get another refurbished phone. I carry the Jump on my phone and they stated that I could go and exchange for another phone but I would have to pay for the taxes. Anyway you look at it, I lose. So they will send me another non-working phone and I will have to spend another ten hours trying to get it to work and T-mobile simply won't do anything about it. I didn't buy the phone from Sony, I bought it from T-Mobile.

After believing that Sprint was possibly the worst cellular provider ever, I decided to offer my business to T-Mobile. It has been a 24 hour nightmare. In the past 24 hours their sales department charged my credit card incorrectly, botched the shipment of my devices twice and as I type, they are botching it for a third time. I was advised to cancel my services with Sprint and purchase 2 SIM cards from T-mobile and call back to have them activated (there are only pre-paid T-mobile stores in my area) because it would be easier and financially easier. When I called back, the rep asked for my credit card 3 times. I told her that. After the 3rd time, I wasn't comfortable with her constantly asking for it and not providing me with a reason as to why she still needed to enter it. Eventually, I asked for a supervisor who told me that it wasn't necessary to ask for my credit card information so many times.
After that issue was "resolved", they proceeded to assist me with setting up my phones. I continued getting error messages about my SIM card reading "invalid" and was told it would take 24 hours for the phones to be activated. It didn't make sense to me so I asked for a supervisor and ended up calling Sprint. They told me that the devices were locked and it would be a few days before they could process the unlock request because I had already cancelled my services. T-mobile apologized and offered my 2 other devices that would be scheduled to be delivered on Monday. My other alternative was to take the EIP agreement into a retailer and pick up my phones from there as I have a special needs child and it's imperative that I have contact with him when he's not in my care.
I called the next day to confirm if this was still the case, and was advised that it was; however since the store only offered pre-paid devices, I could not pick up my phones there. The rep said she would cancel the previous order and credit my account and reissue the devices out to me at no cost and I would get them tomorrow (Saturday). When I got the email showing my order and being processed, I noticed a 1069.00 charge. I called and found out that the 2nd rep did not process my order correctly and they would have to cancel that order and issue out another set of phones and would be able to overnight them. It seems as if overnight delivery isn't something they seem to know anything about because the previous overnight delivery that was issued wasn't going to be delivered until Monday and the order before that wasn't going to be delivered until the 31st of August.
Now, I've just been told that there's nothing they can do about the delivery of my 3rd set of devices since it's still being processed. God forbid I have an emergency and I don't have access to a landline or I'm not near a friend. T-mobile's corporate customer service line is nothing more than tier 2 technical support. It's a shame that they don't properly train their reps to read and understand their policies and how to be honest and truthful to potential clients. I'd rather have continued dealing with Sprint's rudeness. T-mobile, I'm beyond disappointed in you all.

Then she asked me what I want. I asked her is there any screen guard available in their storage. She then told me there are no screen guard for LG G3 in their storage.

I have been a customer for over 10 years with a three family line, paying over 200 a month. I pay insurance monthly included in those bills yet when something happens to my phone such as dropping it I am required to pay 175 and go without a phone for a day while they mail out a refurbished phone that has problems all in its own before I get it but I can't trade in my cracked phone and avoid the charges. I always end up with a refurbished phone that has problems from the get go. There are suddenly no loaner phones to provide. Who can get through a day without a phone the way our culture is? At least make loaner phones available if you are going to charge 175 for a "new" phone, which is never the case.
I don't see the point in paying money toward insurance when I have to pay almost 200 for another phone that doesn't even go toward what I owe on the phone. The no contract catch may seem nice but that is all it is -- sounds nice. They get you into a trap in which it is very difficult to get out of or even get any type of respect deserved for years of service and outrageous payments to the company. Time to look for a new place, contract or not, as long as I know I am taken care of and not treated like a piece of **. Any other place is probably better than T-Mobile.

This is the first time that I have ever written a review in my life and I hope to save anybody that's thinking about using T-Mobile services, please don't! As the owner of a small business I am always looking for ways to save money. In February of this year I saw the commercial where you could switch carriers and get reimbursed. Immediately I thought I could save on my bill and get reimbursed. I thought this was a win-win for me but it became the biggest mistake ever! They had no problem taking my 2-month old iPhone from Verizon and making me purchase the exact phone from them. I was cool with that being that I was going to be reimbursed for it.
This is when the lying comes in. My wife did the switching process online in February and when we checked back it was denied 4/29. Ok, we thought we may have missed something so we go to the store in Glen Allen, Va and let the sales associate (Jl **) do it for us. Guess what? Denied on 6/15, they said we needed some form from Verizon, lies. We got what they asked for and went back and another associate did the processing and it was denied as well on (6/15), more lies. Next time we go the Associate Manager (J. **). Same thing, same lies, denied (7/2 -7/21). Now, they need my original contract from Verizon, more hoop jumping.
Verizon printed out the contract with no problem and I go back to the store. This time I speak to the store manager (E. **). He, reassured me that this it. He don't know why I haven't been reimbursed yet but this time I'm good. Well on (8/15) DENIED! This company is disgusting and full of liars! I pray the associates find jobs with other carriers because T-Mobile do not care about their customers or employees. As a business owner I know how important customer service is and you do not want anyone not satisfied with your company. As a man just tell me the truth but this company has no truth in them. Needless to say I'm on my way back to Verizon. I'll rather pay a little more for quality service. I will never suggest anyone go to T-Mobile!!

I am not using them again after this month runs out, but would dearly love the satisfaction of telling someone at T-mobile WHY! The customer service is laughable. The whole company is laughable.

Then they say it's another 8 weeks. Even though both times I had a T-Mobile representative submit the (same) bill. To make things worse, I've already had to switch out the phone.

On February of 2015 I had a carrier with Verizon and decided to switch to T-Mobile by taking the opportunity for the first time because switch to T-Mobile sounded too good to be true and it was a battle from hell for four months. When I had done the proper steps to switch from Verizon to T-Mobile and waited for 8-12 weeks to receive a bank card from them on mail, I discovered that after T-Mobile told me that I had received it on mail I told them no and found out that the care customer input the wrong address on the system.
When I tried to get the T-Mobile to fix the address and recall the card they gave me the runaround. Then I tried to do the follow up, and every day I tried to speak to the manager or report a problem I got hanged up on the phone. When I went back physically recently, I was turned down and was told to call again to the reimbursement team. I immediately knew that nobody could help me. I even complained and said a lot but I had no one listening to me so I was shut down. I was ripped off on all the two devices that I had turned in to switch to T-Mobile, and when I tried to speak to someone I either get told to call this number or that number, or that they cannot help me.
It is so frustrating and there was no way to go or get this issue rectified. This carrier is the most unprofessional and always start you from square 1 like you are joining. This is not High School. I felt like I was put as a child and I have responsibility as an adult and if I sign a contract I don't like to be screwed either. CUSTOMER, BEWARE!!!!! The carrier is a scam and they will tell what you want to hear. Plain and simple. Very bad service and bad business to have with. For this I'm no longer a T-Mobile customer.
