I was tired of paying those high fees for T-Mobile Cell Phone Service. A dear friend of mine told me she was saving 50% on her T-Mobile bill. Of course I wanted in immediately. She directed me to the website tmobilecoupons.com. I was shocked to find all the cards I buy for half price. Originally I was paying $50 a month for T-Mobile. Now I only pay $25 a month for the same exact service. I'm a happy customers again.

I just need my line transfer to my friend's family plan and we both called customer care for more than 5 hours in total. They transferred our calls from one department to other department without telling another what happened. I have to repeat my problem more than 10 times and each person are giving me different answers. Twice!! Those representatives told us that the transfer is complete and the next day we check, it is still not complete yet, even till now. I asked them that who was the previous person that I spoke to, they all say they don't know. Those representatives are just trying to avoid responsibility. T-Mobile customer rep used to be good but now I think they switch many to India without train them properly since I encounter many of them these days. Taking away Americans' job opportunities and lower the quality for money apparently.

We decided on T-Mobile. Oh boy and right away began having issues. First, 1 of 2 phones didn't work. Began getting texts about our orders being shipped to alternative address. "What orders?" was the question to customer service in Mexico. Next came bad phone reception. So we had to go to the mall and the cust rep took the phone out of my hand and started punching a bunch of buttons. I asked what he was doing and was told "don't worry about it". So we was also having more usage for phone numbers we didn't know than the ones we did know. On and on this type of stuff went hours on the phone every month. The cust rep on the phone reassured me that their online security was very good and what I was describing as my issues and suspicions were not possible for everyday consumers to be able to do with that excellent amount of security. And it suddenly struck me... that is very true.
The only people who could be doing what I was seeing and suspecting was people, such as T-Mobile employees, who could get into their company computers. So I began watching closely all the strange abnormal phone behavior. And the 2 more shipments to alternative addresses. And one day I discovered my entire contact list had been changed to different numbers because their online phone book availability created a way someone could go online, change phone numbers and it would automatically synchronize with the person's phone and change the phone numbers on the phone. And then the reception started getting real bad again.
And another phone call but this time, the woman actually helped. She said she recognized what I was describing and suggested I go to the local T-Mobile store, and requested them to print me out a bill using their computer system to do so. The manager of the local store, who was roommates with the manager of the other T-Mobile store in the other mall, refused but I told her I had been told to request it from her and to have her call the number I had been given. She called and was authorized and ordered to do so... and so she began the print out of my bill, which stopped after the first 14 pages. And she looked at me kind of smug like... just about that time the printer began again and printed another 67 pages.
The alternative bill... come to find out, she and the other manager was taking the free phones people. Didn't know they was supposed to be able to get and selling them under the table, hooking them up with real cheap services, put, without customer knowledge, on the bills of people who ordered unlimited service and less people on their account than the max allowed, and these extra mouths was what was causing the bad service when too many was on the phone at the same time. But it kept messing up my phone so I would have to go in to get it reset... with a reset code that included the other hidden accounts.

My name is Amine **. On June 27th, I opened a new T-Mobile account with 7 lines. I was so excited to be back with your company, however, I experienced some technical issues with coverage and I came back to the store on June 28th, 2015, located in 22831 Michigan Avenue, Dearborn, MI and spoke to ** sales associate. I asked ** to add a new line to my account to be used in my current Samsung S6 phone to determine whether the origin of the issue is from the device or the network, and use my old number in a different device. The associate advised that I buy a prepaid card instead but my preference was to add a new line to my account.
The sales associate refused to add a new line to my account saying that an account must be open for at least 45 days. I told him that "This is my account and I'm free to add a line whenever I want and without any restriction." Then I asked if T-Mobile has a policy or memo supporting his statement. At that time, he started raising his voice and using unprofessional and rude speech like, "I have been here over 5 years," and "You will not show me my job," and "Stop arguing with me," and "You are not free with your account," and "I'm not going to add a new line for you." I found his behavior non-respectful and humiliating. My expectation is that T-Mobile values the business of its customer and treat them with respect. The behavior of your associate impacts the image of your company.

My wife had a phone plan with Gosmart mobile, paying for limited service until one day my wife decided to upgrade her service so she could get data. Since I had already paid for the month I called to ask if I could upgrade to make sure I wouldn't get double charged. Customer service confirmed that I would only be charged for the upgraded service. As it turned out I was charged for the basic plan and for the upgraded plan. They refused to refund the lower charge so I disputed it with my credit card company.
In addition my wife's phone never got data that I paid for. The month after that, my phone which uses T-mobile stopped working so I called them since I was set up for automatic payment. They told me that payment was being blocked because I owed money to Gosmart for disputing both charges on my wife's phone, even though I only disputed the lesser charge, and my credit card company confirms that I paid the higher charge. They are refusing to accept payment on my credit card unless I pay again for both charges. It's not even the same phone or company and I wasn't even aware that T-mobile is connected to Gosmart.

My name is Victoria ** and I am from Arizona and have been misled by the Sierra Vista T-Mobile representatives for the past 4 days. I switched to T-Mobile one month ago and just recently cracked my screen (iPhone 6 plus). I called to inquire more information about my screen protector I had purchased because the salesman, Chris, had guaranteed me that this was the best protection I could buy for my phone. He directed me to go online and register my screen protector and it would then be fully covered if anything had happened to my phone. This was false information. When I called on August 8th to receive information, I talked to a lady named Vanessa who disclosed to me that Chris was no longer with them and this was not their first time with this problem. She was going to talk to her manager and was supposed to call me back that evening.
After receiving no call, I called back the following morning and spoke with the manager who was the least bit of helpful and flat out told me, "No, there is nothing I can do for you" after Vanessa has already given me hope. I called back later that day to try and get some elaboration on what my options are and why I was not going to be helped after I was sold an item with false advertisement and I wanted to discuss a refund on the screen protector since I did have my receipt. Vanessa answered the phone, and I informed her on the situation and she remembered me from calling before. She was speaking with her manager who I guess was next to her and relaying messages to me, very unprofessional as I was calling to speak with her myself. She told me to come in to the store and the manager said she will take care of it.
I mentioned to her that I lived about 2 hours away and I needed to know if they were sure I was going to be helped because I had to take a day off work and drive all the way down there. Vanessa stated, "She (the manager) said yes, to come in and she will take care of you". On the morning of August 10th, I drove two hours down to Sierra Vista to get help with my phone. The manager was with another customer so a sales representative named, Zoe wanted to see if she can help. I showed her my phone and I told her what had happened to it that it broke. She then accused me of running my phone over with a car because "that's what look liked had happened". I told her, no, it was not ran over and that it was inside a house where it cracked. She then told me that she had dropped her phone off the back of a pick-up truck into a pile of rocks and her damage was not even as bad.
I mentioned again that I knew what happened to my phone and it was not ran over and the damage was not even close to what would happen. If it was, considering only the top of my screen is cracked. She then told me again, "Well this is what phones look like when you run them over". So after being accused of running my phone over with a car I no longer spoke with Zoe and waited for the manager. When I finally spoke with the manager she again told me there was nothing she can do. I mentioned to her that I asked Vanessa before coming down here if I was going to be helped for sure and she told me that the manager said she would. The manager then told me that Vanessa should have never told me that and that I should not have drove 2 hours for nothing, after Vanessa had just relayed the message the day before from the manager that I should go in and I would be helped.
I also told her that Vanessa disclosed the information about Chris and she told me that Vanessa is giving false information. She then gave me the option of just adding a new line to my account so I can get a cheaper phone and I did not want to do that. I am very upset that I was getting false information from the Manager and her representatives. It is no longer about getting my phone fixed it is about how I was misled and manipulated by the sales representatives. I sacrificed my time, money and work day because I was guaranteed that I would be helped only to drive two hours to be told that I should have not came.

I went to a T-Mobile store and bought 2 phones. The clerks could not get my information moved over and the phones turned on after 4 hours in the store. I took them back and got money back (credit card). Two weeks later I get a letter from a collection agency and then a bill for nearly $700.00 in out of country calls. Finally convinced them that they had the phone, not me, when the calls were made. Six weeks later I get another letter from the collection agency and then the bill for 4 new iPhone 6 phones then the collection agency and a bill for $600.00 for service for these phones. T-Mobile would do nothing, said it was not fraud and would have to go through collection agency. Got a bill with a 0 balance the other day. No explanation, no apology - Nothing. Over $3000.00 and 3 credit checks by an employee and they can't even apologize. Would promise to check it out and call me back and then not call. I would go without a phone before I used T-Mobile.

I've had T-Mobile service for over 2 years. The service continually drops, the data plan is supposed to be unlimited but after I hit 1G it tapers off. When I need the internet to work it doesn't or I have to wait a while before it connects. Now I'm trying to switch to a new carrier and in order to use my iPhone with the new carrier I have to have it unlocked. I made a request to T-Mobile to unlock my phone but they are claiming Apple requires a 24hr time frame to unlock the phone from the time of request. Potentially this could mean I will not have any phone service for 48hr.
Since this is the only phone I have this is extremely unacceptable and when I explained that to the T-Mobile representative they still did nothing. So what it comes down to is that they are holding my phone hostage because I want to leave their extremely poor service. Where is the rights of consumers when you pay for a service that claims they are so good and are not? This is how companies like this stay in business when they should be shut down for fraud.

T-Mobile is by far the worst uneducated customers service ever. Every time I call, different agent in 1 call, 6 hours on the phone and like 5 different agents. I got different respond every time. They don't care about you, just your pocket. I drive semi truck all over the States. So far on the interstates, 70% of the time, no service. Like OH, IL, TX are the worst, almost no signal at all. Stay away. I have 4 lines with T-Mobile and I am moving all of them to different carrier. T-Mobile is the biggest rip-off of them all.

I'm in the military. I had an iPhone 6 plus from T-Mobile in February 2015.. then I got stationed in Ft Drum NY. When I got here I don't have service, so I call T-Mobile and spoke with 2 representative and told them that I wanted to move to another carrier.. while I maintain paying for the cost of the phone. They said is possible hence am in the military.. or I can even suspend my account. I went ahead to AT&T, did everything and paid them. To my surprise the phone was lock and AT&T told me I have to call T-Mobile. I did that. Again I spoke with 3 different agents; finally they told me I have to pay for the phone in full before they can unlock it. I paid immediately with my bank card. The phone never got unlock. I bought a different phone from a friend for the meantime, as I can't stay without phone. I had to speak with my family and my chain of command. Finally the phone got unlock after a week.
All this happened at the PX in Ft Drum. The sales representative were helping me with it. In July of the same year, I got charged another 170 dollars by T-Mobile. I called and spent almost 2hrs speaking with different representatives, trying to figure out why am I being charged. To make it short, they said it was a mistake I got charged cuz they never canceled my acct. and that I will be refunded about 180 bucks cuz of the hotpot device I had was never charged... and that my will be canceled this time. I said ok. I never got refunded, and I didn't want to take the pain of calling again...
Today the 9th of August I charged 7 dollars again! I called and spoke with representative. She told me is weird that I got charged cuz she is seeing that I was supposed to get refunded but it failed. I didn't get the money... she keep putting on hold and back, eventually she hung off on me. I call back and got a different representative called Brandy at around 12:30pm... she said another phone number was activated ending in **. I told her I have no idea about that and is not me. I demand to speak with the manager but he/she declined to speak with me and Brandy said I need to go back to where I got the phone now talk them. I told her I can't do that. Finally she said in fact I still owed T-Mobile 119. For my account was not still canceled. This is the worst nightmare I ever had. Now I want to cancel my bank card so I won't be charged, but there is no Chase bank nearby... which means I have to wait for 7-14 days to get a new card. Isn't this crazy?

Be prepared, this is a long story. This story is the month I had T-mobile. I was leaving the country for work, and knowing I was going into a dangerous city, I wanted to make sure my phone would be working. Out of recommendation of my coworkers, I signed up for t-mobile for when I would be leaving the country. First thing I do is I call t-mobile to get information on their international plans. Since I knew I would be arriving in Johannesburg, South Africa within a month, I wanted to make sure I had everything I needed to have my phone working.
The guy on the phone (I didn't get his name) recommends that I get a prepaid plan with them, since I only wanted their services when I was in South Africa. He recommends that I activate the pre-paid plan the day before I leave to make sure everything is working like it should. The day comes to activate and I follow their instructions to activate and it takes an hour to activate. I ended up calling them and getting it straightened out relatively easily, so I assumed that it was normal and I was happy to have it working before I left.
It's the next day and I'm leaving for my flight. I think everything is working and I get on the plane. After my first 10 hour flight I end up in Amsterdam as my layover and my phone says "no service", but the person sitting next to me on the same flight also had t-mobile and their service was working. So I connect to wifi and get in contact with my parents to ask t-mobile why I have no service. T-mobile sends them through a runaround, and will not believe that South Africa is a country. They also tell my parents that "oh, the plan she got won't work if she is out of the country" which baffled me since the whole point of getting their service was that I was leaving the country.
I get on my next flight and roughly 10 hours later I end up in Johannesburg, South Africa. This is where everything gets insane. The people who were supposed to pick me up from the airport had not arrived, and my phone still said "no service". So luckily I had 30 minutes of free wifi in the Johannesburg, South Africa airport. So I get in contact with my parents again to call T-mobile again since I had no phone service and they get my phone to work enough that I can call T-mobile. Keep in mind at this point its about 3am in the 4th most dangerous city in the world and I have no way of calling my ride from the airport and have no way of getting in contact with the police if needed. So I call T-Mobile to fix my plan. This conversation lasts 2 hours.
Me: "Hi, my phone isn't working while I'm in South Africa and I need to change my plan so it will work. I signed up for the plan that was recommended to me by one of your employees and now I'm finding out that its not the correct plan so I would like to fix this so I can get in contact with my ride from the airport." T-Mobile: “Your plan is activated, you should have service. Have you tried turning your phone on and off again?” Me: “Yes. That isn't the problem. When I signed up for my plan I asked for an international plan since I knew I would be going overseas. Now that I am in South Africa my phone isn't working. Can you help me fix my plan so I can have a working phone to get in contact with my ride?”
T-Mobile: “You have a pre-paid plan.” Me: “That's what was recommended to me by one of your employees. They told me to sign up with a pre-paid plan instead of a post paid plan.” T-Mobile: “Your plan won't allow you to have service while outside of the US.” Me: “Yes, I noticed that. My phone isn't working. Can this be fixed so I have a working phone?” T-Mobile: “Your plan won't allow you to call anyone while you are outside of the US.” This goes on for about 30 minutes... Me: "Can I speak to your supervisor? Apparently I'm not getting anywhere with you and its 3am in a dangerous city and I would like to get my phone working." T-Mobile: “My manager isn't here.“ Me: “I need to speak with a manager. I know you have one there. Do not lie to me.“ T-Mobile: “Let me put you on hold while I get them.“
T-Mobile hangs up on me. So I call them back. Finally this time I talk to someone, I'm very mad. T-Mobile answers and I ask to speak with a manager and I tell them to not hang up on me this time. They still aren't listening to me, and keep telling me that I need a post paid plan instead, so I agree to get one. So they transfer me to their post paid plan department.
Me: “Hi. For the thousandth time. My phone isn't working while I'm in South Africa. And I need my phone to work, so can we fix my plan so I can have it working?” T-Mobile: “Lets me reset your expectations. ALL I'm going to do for you is switch your plan from pre-paid to post-paid." Me: “I need to speak with your manager. I'm really tired of the rude attitudes I have gotten from every person I have spoken with, and I'm asking a very simple request.“ T-Mobile: “My manager is in a meeting.” Me: “I don't care. Customers come first. You will fix my plan, and fix this so my service is active while I am in South Africa.” T-Mobile: “Let me reset your expectations. I will ONLY switch your plan from pre-paid to post-paid.”
At this point, I'm looking over at the closed vodacom (local carrier for South Africa) store wishing it was open so I could tell T-Mobile to cancel my service and refund me all of the money I have already paid them. Me: “I'm really tired of this run around. Switch my plan, then have me speak with your manager.” So T-Mobile does. And they forget to tell me that my balance of 55 dollars will not transfer to my post paid account. After a lot more nonsense with the manager, I finally get my phone switched over to a post paid account. This is about 2 hours in. So they transfer me again to the international plan person. Who was the only helpful person I spoke with.
About two weeks later my phone is shut off again, apparently due to "lack of payment" even though I paid them before I left. This isn't even when I find out that my pre-paid balance will not transfer to my post-paid account. So I get in contact with my parents again, telling them that T-Mobile shut off my phone again. Thankfully the hotel I am staying at has working wifi. I finally arrive home, after being in South Africa for a month I was glad to be back. The first thing I do is I want to cancel my T-Mobile plan. I go to a T-Mobile store and they tell me that they cannot cancel plans there, I have to call them. I sigh and then call them the next morning.
Me: “Hi I would like to cancel my service.” T-Mobile: “Why? What can I do to fix this?” Me: “Not leave me stranded in Johannesburg, South Africa, with no way of getting a hold of my ride from the airport or police if I needed it.” T-Mobile: *long pause* “Okay, I will cancel your account for you.” Me: “Also, I would like a refund for my pre-paid account before it was switched to post-paid.” T-Mobile: “Your balance doesn't transfer and we cannot refund you anything.” Me: “Why?” T-Mobile: “Because the balance doesn't transfer.” Me: “So I paid you 55 dollars for nothing? I would like the money back.” T-Mobile: “I can't do that.” Me: “Let me speak with your manager.” Not this again.... Manager of T-Mobile: “I see you would like a refund from your pre-paid account, but when it was switched from pre-paid to post-paid the balance didn't transfer and was lost, so I will not be able to refund you the money. If you would like to file a formal complaint you can contact our legal department. “
Needless to say. Worst customer service I have ever received. I will never recommend their services, and in fact I hope this never happens again to anyone. I had so many people walk up to me as I was in tears in the Johannesburg airport trying to get them to listen to me. Do not EVER choose T-Mobile as you carrier or unfortunately you will regret it. I should also mention, I never ONCE received a bill from them in the mail, or by e-mail.

I started out with Voice Stream. I ended up with T-Mobile after buy outs. I have had the same account for over fifteen years. Recently, after frustration with the cable company, I ended up canceling my bundle of services because I wanted to get off of the computer anyway. I was still on the 300 whenever minutes, unlimited weekend, phone calling plan even though it had been years since they even had that plan I was told. I decided to change to unlimited talk, text, and data for $50 a month. That way I could still go pay my bills, look something up, and maybe play a game occasionally. (So I thought!) I couldn't play a game. "The spirits cannot find a connection!"
I could open a page faster in 1995 than I can on the iPad they sold me. I just spent two hours trying to log on to the T-Mobile site. I was told several times that my password was incorrect and had to end up resetting it after being locked out. I went to two of the equipment summaries and paid those. I went back to the monthly bill to pay that and the equipment payments I had made came off of my monthly total instead. Then it told me I had entered the incorrect password again! It locked me back out and wouldn't let me back on with either password. By this time I had been at it for two hours and my neighbor probably wonders why I am in my house screaming and cussing. I will pay off my equipment as quickly as possible and kiss T-Mobile goodbye! Apparently all they can handle is phone calls. I will now stop at the store to make my payments and they can "shove their website where the sun don't shine!"

From my research I see that this is a ongoing issue. I decided to try out T-mobile in the middle of May. I have been a Version customer and was convinced that changing over was a smart move. So I ordered a Note4, iPhone 6, iPad, iPad mini. Your service was poor for my area, so I sent them back UPS using your labels in the box. I then received a bill for $2,577.19. Called they said phone were not returned. They said they would investigate. Call back again this time they said they found the phones and not to worry about. About a month later another bill arrives. Called again and they said phones have not arrived at warehouse, and would send a ticket to investigate it. I was told they would call me back in 2 days. Never got the call.
So now it's Aug, they now want a tracking number which by now I don't have. Did not see a need to keep one since I thought this matter was solved. Went to UPS they said T-Mobile should have tracking number since they sent label. Called T- Mobile again and again about 5 times same story about a ticket out to find phones. Literally hours on the phone on hold, last time I was disconnected, no one returned my call even though I gave them phone number.
I would think this would be troubling to most managers and owners. It seems because I decided not to go with your service I'm being treated as if you are not concerned about me. I ask them to provide me with a tracking number for the phones they sent me, they could not. I ask what the weight of the package they sent, they did not know. The date it was sent, who signed for it, they did not know. T- Mobile is asking me to provide a tracking number for a package that was sent over three months ago and yet T-Mobile can't even supply me with information showing that I received the phones. So my question is what kind of investigation was really done.

Hello. A few days after Father's Day I walk into T-Mobile (651 River Ave, Bronx Terminal Market, Bronx, NY 10451) with the expectation of connecting my new Lumia 640xl windows phone. I was able to find a prepaid plan for my phone and it was connected successfully with a T-Mobile prepaid plan. I had just come out of a Sprint contract and I wasn't looking to get locked into another one. After my phone was successfully connected the T-Mobile associate asked me if I was a father and that if I was I qualified for a free LG G Pad F8.0. I told him that I am a father and would like a free LG pad.
He began to tell me that all I had to do was open a data line and that it would only cost me $27 to get it setup. When the associate mentions opening a data line I told him to forget it because I didn't need an LG pad enough to pay $10 a month. Besides I already own a laptop and 2 iPads. The associate then leans pulls me to the side and says "If you decide in a few months down the line that you don't want the plan all you have to do is cancel it and you have a free LG pad. It would be foolish not to get it." I thought about it and decided to get it since I'd only be spending $27 bucks.
Well, three weeks passed and I decided to switch to AT&T for my phone service. I went to the T-Mobile store and paid my remaining balance and deactivated the the phone and LG account. I was told that I couldn't cancel the LG pad account without paying $240! It was in the contract that I signed! I understand that I signed the contract but I believe that T-Mobile mislead me into thinking that I could cancel the plan. Why do they have associates giving customers wrong information to sell their plans/LG pads? I even offered to give them the LG pad back. I never even activated the account on my end either. I've called customer service and have visited the store twice only to be told that they don't know why he would tell me that and there's nothing they can do for me.

Do not get T-mobile. They make things seem easy and guaranteed until something goes wrong within their system, where they then want you to pay for their mistakes! I have been a T-mobile customer for the last 2 years and paid them more than 300 dollars a month for my three lines. I had their jump upgrade program and attempted to use it to get the iPhone 6 plus that I have now, upgrading from the 5c. The upgrade they performed in November was not recorded as a jump plan, so they continued to bill me for a phone that I didn't have, on top of my other lines. Come May of the following year, I found this out, so I called to have the issue resolved when I was told it'd be taken care of and I'd be credited back for the money that I've spent on a phone that I didn't have. When I received my June, it was half of what it usually is and I was told the problem was solved. July I paid my bill as usual.
Now it is August, and I have a mysterious 200 dollar charge on top of my normal bill. I called to ask what this was and they are telling me it was a fault within their system when they credited my bill, the credit should've went to my "account." So they are saying I have to pay this amount or they will shut off my service. When I ask to speak to a manager, I am placed on hold and transferred to another colleague. I'm sick of their run around and want nothing to do with them any longer. And when I tell them this, they threaten to bill me for all the phones on my plan, even if I ship them back to them. This is ridiculous. They want me to pay for their mistake!

I was having problems with T-Mobile's service for 9 months. I kept speaking with technical support and ultimately got no results. Finally I discovered on my own that the issue was my iPhone 5 - which is not LTE compatible. T-Mobile's Customer Retention department send me a new phone (Alcatel Evolve 2) for free so that I would have a phone that worked on the network. I received this phone and it did not work. I discovered (again on my own) that this phone was also not LTE compatible.
I called back the Customer Retention department and they said that I was correct, the phone was not compatible and they made a mistake. So they sent me another phone for free - Alcatel One Touch Pop Astro. I asked if they wanted me to send back the first phone that didn't work and the agent told me she would get in touch to let me know.
A few weeks later I received a bill in the mail for both phones. I spent hours on the phone with T-Mobile. They insist that their records show that the agent told me to send back the Alcatel Evolve. I asked for proof of this. I told them that they did not send me ANY correspondence either by phone, email or letter in which they requested and/or gave me instructions to return the first phone. They refused to provide any proof and will not reverse the charges. Additionally, the actual charges for the phone would have been $93.84 and they are trying to charge me $174.87! This is ILLEGAL.

Beyond frustration!! The biggest crooks and liars are T-Mobile. My problem persists for the last 2 years. I purchased a brand new Note 3, about now has to be 2 years back. It took a month or 2 I started having issues. They replaced it with a refurbished one that had already issues. Back and forth, they replaced at least seven 7 times. The problems were from GPS issues to freezing, to charging port problems, to screen issues, to proximity sensor issues, you name it!!! They never offered to replace it with a new one I asked so many times.
The last time, which is couple months ago, I received another replacement and decided that I couldn't take it anymore so I purchased a brand new Lg G3 and the Note 3. I send it to my sister in Europe for her to use. But of course 2 weeks later the Note 3 didn't want to charge so she had to go fix it. The charging port was bad!!! This shows you again and again that T-Mobile crooks don't care what they send you back. I received someones pictures on the refurbished ones! Do they check these phones at all?
So long story short my Lg G3 has issues for the last 2 months. My voicemail does not get erased. They reset it so many times, told me to wait a month for the issue to be fixed. Back and forth with the liars. The customer service people that I spoke always apologize blah, blah, blah! Even the Loyalty department people are bunch of scumbags. They don't care. They lie all the time and in the end can't do nothing, apologizing again. So they again want to send me a refurbished one. I just purchased a month or 2 ago a brand new Lg G3 and instead of offering me at least a new one for all these problems, they want to give me 50 Dollars credit if I return the phone instead of giving me a new one which I believe I deserve??? I have been with them for over 16 years. Liars and crooks, that is what T-Mobile became!!

I recently moved to a new home and was not getting any signal for talk, text or data. I checked the coverage map and my location is shown to be in a covered service area. Initial contact with T-Mobile, I was told that I shouldn't be having any difficulties because my location was in a covered service area. I was sent a Signal Booster. I set it up and had absolutely no change in my signal strength. I reported this to T-Mobile and was told to return the Signal Booster and they would send a Personal CellSpot modem for wi-fi calling. (This required I have internet service in my home.) Again, no improvement on my service. I would change cell companies except I am paying for my cell phone on a monthly installment plan and I would be required to pay the balance in full if I changed service providers.
I have spent hours on the phone with T-Mobile trying to resolve the problem. Their response is that it is not their fault that I moved. I either stay with T-Mobile (without adequate service) and continue my installment plan on my phone or pay the balance and change carriers. In an attempt to correct the problem I agreed to do a master boot on my phone. This took the phone back to factory settings. I was able to back up almost everything on my phone. I lost my calendar (this is a serious issue for me). I haven't been able to determine yet if I've lost anything else. There is still no improvement. Every time I contact T-Mobile I speak to a different person. I am unable to speak with the same person twice. Every call requires the retelling of the problem. Every call, I am told something different from the previous calls.
Over the past 7 weeks, over a dozen phone calls, totalling approx. 6 hours of my time, resetting my phone causing the loss of vital information and I still do not have service. Just had my last call with T-Mobile and it was ridiculous to say the least. I was told that new towers were going to be coming near my location but there was no way of knowing when that might be and it isn't T-Mobile's fault that I am not willing to wait (indefinitely) for a new tower that would/could provide service. Therefore, T-Mobile has no culpability and I have no recourse. Over the course of time, they made sure to manipulate the data regarding the signal strength. First call: I am in a full coverage area and there shouldn't be a problem. Later call: There is limited service (outside only). Last call: There are service outages in my area.

Yesterday, August 3, 2015, I have contacted T-Mobile and asked questions about a current promotion which is know as "Pay Off Your Contact". While speaking with a male representative I told him that I didn't want to give out any personal info because my credit was ran before and was given a terrible deal and would have to pay full price for my phones. The rep promised that he will give me the best deal possible for my 2 lines. After going back and forth about the matter he brought up that we (my mother and I) would be able to go the pre-paid route and save money and use our phones if we have a SIM slot or GSM capabilities. After finally giving him my information, my credit was ran. Once he was giving me my options of the pre-paid I still asked if this will still be the promotion. He said "yes".
Was going to use my mom credit card to make the transaction of the 2 activation kits that would be for $2.14. He spoke with my mom about her credit card info and also wanted to see if we could get a better deal with her if we just get a phone through them for her. So my mother info was given and credit was ran as well. Gotten a better deal and paid $114.72 for a phone called evolve 2 with 2 starter kits. An hour later received an email about an issue with the order. Called back and was told our shipment was place on hold and to wait until the next day and it will be released but still would have to wait 2-3 business days. Called this morning and was told something completely different. Not to mention that we had to wait another 24 hours for their system error to be lifted but we wouldn't receive our order until Tuesday.
Asked to speak with the supervisor Bridgette and told what we had experienced and came to finding out EVERYTHING was a lie. She couldn't find the order that said our credit was ran. She found it, told us that what we was purchasing wasn't going to pay for our termination fees with our old provider, the rep who set it all up will get just a coaching, our credit ran wouldn't get reverse, and now we would have to give them our phones in order for to tell us how much to finance our phones, then they could see if we could do the promotion. This has been a horrible experience with no fix at all. They was going to leave us to deal with 2 bills (Sprint & T-Mobile) if I haven't said anything to a supervisor. Oh and not to mention, they removed my name and added my mom without my acknowledgment.

I am a customer for one year. The problem is, they've been chatting with our Internet that we paid for in advance. I've been arguing with this company now for the past 6 months and nobody seems to care. When my bill cycle starts all the Internet which is upload and download speed seems to work fine but after 15 days which is half of my bill cycle everything starts not to work and it is very embarrassing for big company as they are promoting and lying to the customers that they provide unlimited internet. I recommend people that they should not buy a phone so they won't be bound by the payment so they enjoy the freedom and they should ask how the customers are treated.

T-mobile have the worst service and Customer service!! I had used T-mobile forever before I got too disappointed with them and switch to AT&T. However, last Christmas my brother gave me an iPhone 6 plus which he bought from a T-mobile store (he believed it was unlocked, but it was not) so I switched back to T-mobile and the nightmare came back!!! A month ago I realized that I made most of the phone call through the work phone, so I wanted a plan that give me less talk minutes and more data. They said I have to buy another sim card to switch to that plan and I did (why don't you just let your customer switch to another plan instead of doing a whole new activation?)
Okay, I bought a new sim, activated it, and requested to have my old number port to the new account (and he said it will take 72 hours for the porting to finish). However, The porting process never happened. 3 weeks later, I ran out of data (and could not even renew the plan online, there is nowhere to do that) so I called customer service to first: Refill the account, second: Concern about the porting process. And she said the porting process could not be done because they did not have my address, and birthday. Okay, I have ported phone number a couple time, address and birthday were never required, plus NO ONE called me in 3 weeks about they could not port my number. Then she started the porting process again, and refill my account. Which was fine, I was happy. An hour after refilling, my phone still did not get any data even though I restarted the phone for a couple time.
So I went on myAccount and realized that after the refill, 100 minutes was added into the account but 5 GB of data was not added. So I called customer service again, and he told me to restart my phone which I told him "I did that so many times already." And I told him the T-mobile said I did not have any data left even though I just refill the account, so there is nothing wrong with the device. The data available is Zero even though I just bought it so it is something with your system, not the phone. And he started to get mad and said I might have used all 5 gb of data in 1 hours (???) Okay, let me tell you: The phone had not work that's why I called you. Then he transfer me to another person: And he said the girls switch me to another plan (instead of renew the existing one) that's why the data was not available, and transfer me to another person to fix it (this is too much hassle but I still tried to be nice) and here you go... another representative.
He said, "Okay let me take care of it" and I told him, "Please make sure it work because everything have been going wrong and I don't want to go through anything like this again." Then he was like: "Sir I'm doing it for you so just wait." I asked him, "When will it work?" and he said, "By the and of the day." I was like: "Really, it takes a whole day for the refill to finish? Then I would not use T-mobile anymore because that is not reliable at all." And he was like: "Yes sir, it's a day." I was so disappointed with how the representative treated the customer. But still hang up the phone and wait 1 day to see, and of course after a day, I did NOT work.
The technician was useless, they never makes thing work, and they never call back to see if they made it work (like AT&T or Verizon). I tried to get in My T-mobile page and it said it is unavailable now for all day. I will just buy another phone to switch to another carrier but I want to let the world know how I was treated by T-mobile.

This past week I received my new replacement phone. I had previously spoken with someone about transferring my data from my old phone to the new one. So the lady said to come in once I receive the phone and they would help me with the transfer part. There was no mention about it being $10 for doing their job. I went in today and the employee there was not helpful. He said it would be a $10 charge and/or purchase an accessory. I did not pay those $10. Walked out of the store and called 1800 customer service. They never heard of such a thing. I called two other stores and they never heard of it either But they actually volunteered to help me with my phone without charge. I've been with T-mobile over 9 years now, and I felt like this man was trying to take advantage of me. He said that they hadn't "enforced" it before but are now making sure they charge the $10. Can someone look into this because clearly there is some miscommunication.

I am so irritated. I called yesterday to pay for this month's internet service. I got the run around for about 2 hours and was told that they were having system problems but at some point, the payment posted. I used the service for about an hour and was told I had exceeded the 1 GB limit in less than 24 hours! My computer was off for 22 of those hours. I was told that the internet service while no one was at home and that it was because I was watching movies. I have NEVER watched movies over the internet and haven't been on YouTube in over 2 years. I tried getting a printout of the usage times but was told they have this but then they didn't have it. I asked to speak to the manager whose only answer was, "You've used up your time."

I've been with T-Mobile since 2007. Paid all my bills on time, little did I know I had an account in collections from T-Mobile filed July 2015. I never would've known had I not checked Credit Karma. It brought down my credit score by over 20 points, which infuriated me since I haven't gotten any phone calls, email, mail from T-Mobile informing me I owed them money! I spoke to customer service from T-Mobile. She explained that they closed my account in 2008 that had a balance of $419. First of all, I wasn't even aware my account was closed then reopened and that I had a balance, which I found strange. She couldn't even tell me what the charges were from! She said she'd file a dispute and I'd hear back from after a week, never heard back from them.
Called them back after a week. They gave me the collection company's phone number. Called the collection company. Told me the account is no longer with them, to call T-Mobile. Called T-Mobile, spoke to the financial department. They again gave me a different collection company. Called that collection company. They couldn't find my account. So where is it? I've been given the run around. The customer service representatives from T-Mobile are extremely rude and very brief and sound like they have no clue what they're doing. I just want to somehow figure out which collection agency has my account, figure out what the charges are from, pay it off, close my account with T-Mobile once and for all.

I spoke to a girl named Karina, she told me she had a great plan that it was gonna work good for me with everything unlimited and internet added to my line. I asked a lot of questions about this new plan and everything seemed to be perfect. The next day when I decided to use my gps and my internet I noticed that I didn't have connection at all. Not even to use social media or anything related to it.
I called this evening and spoke to a guy named Oscar. At the beginning he was being nice but then when I kept on telling him my issues and my concerns started to get rude and raised his voice. Yes they told me that I was gonna get everything unlimited and I was gonna paid for it but he keeps saying that the other employee didn't and forgot to add it... and now they charging me twice the same amount. Really this is so unprofessional. As a customer we all paid to get what we want. This is not what they explained me. Why would I have to double pay for the same plan and not get any results?

Here's the short of it. T-Mobile ads (e.g., the no-contract, no borders, unlimited blah-blah-blah campaigns) will get you to switch from Verizon or AT&T. You'll soon realize someone went a little too crazy with the magenta marker and ended up painting the whole entire US of A. You'll complain, they'll tell you they're going to be adding in a thousand towers right next to your house in the not-too-distant future. You will believe them and wait. Nada. You'll complain some more, then T-Mobile will send you an unsightly signal booster, because what should be a 4G LTE area is actually a 2G, maybe a 3G, one at best. When you finally get a faint 4G signal (not to be confused with 4G LTE), after rotating the booster around your home's windows, you'll soon realize you'll need to carry that booster to work, because the coverage sucks there, too!
When you decide to exercise your right to switch back to your old company, you'll pay off your T-Mobile-issued phone, then they tell you that you that you need to stay on for two months in order for them to send you the unlock codes. It'll be a fun two-months of no-signal hell. By the way, when sending back the signal booster, don't ever, and I mean ever, forget to punctually mail it back and always get a tracking number for the package. T-Mobile tried charging me $500+ for that piece of plastic. Jokers.

So we called Bank of America who investigated and found that THERE HAD NEVER BEEN ANY ATTEMPT BY T-MOBILE TO CASH THE INITIAL CHECK that we had written to T-Mobile.. This means that T-Mobile perhaps lost the check and then lied to say we had not paid the payment and also falsely reported Bank of America had refused to cash the check.

2 things. 1st, I was a Verizon customer and took the deal to switch to T-Mobile. I was to send my last bill to them for reimbursement of leaving Verizon early. When the switch was completed I then lost access to my account at Verizon. That makes sense but then I have gone thru the hassle of figuring out how to get the last bill. After visiting my local Verizon dealer I was informed to locate a Corp Verizon dealer to get a printout of my last bill to send over to T-Mobile. A simple switch to paper billing on my Verizon account would have the final bill mailed to me, but, the T-Mobile team was surprised to hear that you are locked out once you close your account.
2nd, the details of monthly data totals were not what we asked while signing up for the plans (2 phones). Instead of the free 1gb plan I went online to discover it was at 3gb which is an extra $10 for each phone. Same with insurance. Sales said it was included. It was not and was an extra $10 per line. So, they errored $40 per month higher (never lower) than what we discussed in the T-Mobile store. The old bait and switch.

The payment arrangement is the same amount as my car payment. I can't afford it and they don't care.

As there are no T-Mobile stores near me I got a hold of support and they said I would have a replacement within the week. Week passes by, no phone. I contact them again, they tell me "oh sorry you have to first send in the defective phone," (which is against their terms of service as I found out today). Ok, so I sent the phone in. After a few days after they received it still haven't sent the replacement. They haven't even processed my replacement order. So I contacted them again saying I want a full refund of the phone, service and shipping. They said they can only give a refund after 7 days, (which is ** if you read their return policy), then they said "oh well we can only refund you the prepaid service fees."
After many hours of arguing with them that their going against their own policy I ask for a manager, they close the chat. By now I was pissed. So I called up their service center, basically the same thing. Then I asked for a manager/supervisor. 10 minutes of silence later, "oh well our supervisor is busy right now, we will make sure they call you back," click.

I shared an account with my mother for more than 3 years, until we split the account June 9. At that time I was told they would only split the account if I paid the balance due, plus a deposit. All phones were paid off except the 2 phones that were being transferred to my new account. Sounds pretty simple, right? I put myself in a financial hole to pay them what they said I owed. I was told, after I asked 3 times just to make sure, that the account is up to date and nothing left to owe. Then, we get a fat bill the beginning of July for more than $200.
When I called them to find out why, I was told it's for the time from the end of our billing cycle to the day we split the account, which was only 10 days. When I asked how it is that our monthly bill was $220, but I'm billed $181.42 for 10 days, they tell me "that's the amount owed for the service up to the split, plus the phones". Which makes no sense at all since the phones we owed on were transferred to the new account. If course, they told me "I'm so sorry you were misinformed by the person you spoke to on June 9." I'm pretty sure this is extortion, billing me on 2 accounts for the same phones, even after the old account has been closed.
I'm leaving T-Mobile as soon as possible and I strongly recommend everyone do the same. They were really good to me until I did that split. Since then, I've had to talk to more than 20 people about things they didn't do when the split occurred, for instance, we had no data for many days after June 9th. For this bill alone, I've talked to 5 people. 1st I'm told it was an error and we only owe $90.64 on the account, which makes sense. Then, I'm told that's an error and I actually owe $181.42!

I went online to try and cancel a line and couldn't because T-Mobile makes sure that you must go through a large hassle to cancel by forcing you to call them. I called and got a recording and couldn't cancel a line because it was off hours. So therefore I am stuck with the line and must try back again. This should be illegal and is obviously a sneaky, underhanded way for a crooked company to make it hard to cancel their services.

Let's start with the service. It is basically nonexistent. We traveled from Utah to Las Vegas and lost 11 phone calls that never came through. Absolutely no internet. They tell you that you have unlimited data. What they don't tell you is that at a certain point you lose the high speed data and now it's so slow that it does not exist. My daughter went to girls camp in Yellowstone. Every one of her friends had service. She never had it. Had to borrow her friends' phones. They tell you in the store that "THEY" will cover the cost to switch over. So you think you will be reimbursed for your previous carrier's bill.
They will send you a credit card in the mail for the amount owed. What they never told us was that the money that they allotted us for our old phone is used to come over to T-Mobile. So you think you will get reimbursed, but you don't. I turned in a brand new iphone. The next day, we knew we weren't happy with T-Mobile. I went in to get my phones back, they are gone. No way to get it back. So now I am paying AT&T for my phones with them and T-Mobile for my new phones.
I could go on and on. Bottom line, it's my fault for not understanding how T-Mobile operates. I was so caught up in their verbal sales pitch that I didn't do my homework. I blame myself for being so gullible. I am hopeful that this review will help everyone interested in changing carriers to reconsider. I have never been so disappointed in a company in my life. On every level. T-Mobile is an AT&T "want to be." I might have a nice phone, but it does me no good if that phone has no service.

I switched from Verizon to T-Mobile due to their over exaggerated no contract plan. I went into a local T-Mobile store and spoke with them about their coverage. I was promised that my specific address was in a preferred coverage area. I was very pleased to hear this because my Verizon coverage was very spotty. I signed up promptly after T-Mobile had promised me this. I had decided to turn in my Verizon phone for a credit and keep my son’s Verizon iPhone as it was only a year old and T-Mobile said that they could continue their service on that phone. I ordered a T-Mobile iPhone 6 Plus that would take 10 days to receive by mail and was able to use my Verizon phone temporarily. I immediately noticed once I was home that I had no cell phone service. I called a representative who assured me that my area was preferred and it must be due to still using the Verizon cell phones.
After going 10 days with no cell service in my home I received my T-Mobile cell phone. I opened the package. I was very disappointed because they had shipped me the wrong phone. Due to their error I was overnighted the correct phone. After activating my T-Mobile cell phone I still had no coverage. T-Mobile sent me a network booster for free and agreed to have an engineer check the towers in my area since they could not understand why there would be no service. I received the network booster and again was terribly disappointed because in order for the booster to work you have to have at least one bar of service. So I had to mail those back. In the mean time I was stalled by customer service as they were looking into the problem and as time went on I missed the period of being able to return my phone and although they like to say you’re not in a contract. I am stuck with the poor service until the phone is paid off.
As of today I finally was told by the loyalty department that my area has poor service in some parts. I asked why they inputted my specific address and it said preferred coverage are. He did not have an answer. Also beware of their deal where they agree to pay your early termination fee. They do not pay the taxes on that fee and I signed on in May and still have not received the early termination fee refund as of July 18. Also it appears that they have no record of my Verizon cellphone I returned following their instructions so it may have been lost/stolen. I am still waiting for a response. These are only a few problems that have so far experienced. I have to call every month as well due to over charges on my account. My advice to anyone choosing to switch their cell phone carriers to T-Mobile would be to RUN as the false advertisement, small print details and lack of follow through are not worth any promotion they have to offer.

I was a T-Mobile customer for 12 years under their old system of two year contract with a upgrading to a free new phone every two years. Then last year in May both phones on my family plan stopped working when my sister was critically sick. When I called T-Mobile I found out they no longer had the contract plans and you had to buy your phones. Furthermore, I was overpaying for three months for a plan that didn't exist. When I asked why they didn't inform me they said they couldn't possibly inform everyone on old plans. When I said that was irresponsible business and asked for a supervisor, they offered me one month free to compensate me for the overcharge for the last three months. Then I found out I now had to purchase two phones. They said with the economy all phone companies were doing this now. I informed them I would have to research this as I couldn't afford to put out over $600 for two phones.
Once I researched it I found out T-Mobile was the only company forcing you to buy your own phone. I called them back and told them so and told them if I couldn't have the terms of my old contact with two low cost or free phones as other companies were offering, they were going to lose a 12 year customer. They did they could not do anything about it. So I switched to Verizon (who has been great). By this time it was one day past my billing cycle with T-Mobile.
Even though Verizon "bought" me out of my contact (which by T-Mobile 's words I didn't have), T-Mobile turned around and final billed me for the additional month that they credited me, an early cancellation fee, and a fee for breaking my contract! I refused to pay and spoke to a supervisor who told me there are no notes of any previous conversations on my file and the name of the person I gave her that I spoke to was not employed there! I was then sent to collections and was reported to credit agencies. I just this week settled for 1/2 the original charges with the 2nd collection agency after trying to speak with T-Mobile on numerous occasions. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. They are disreputable and do not offer good customer service.

I've been a continuous and loyal T-Mobile customer for about 3 years now. My husband and I decided to upgrade our phones after paying off our installment plans. We chose the iphone 5s certified pre-owned phones. Order was made on July 2, 2015. On July 7, they cancelled the order because of a problem with the payment, but that was all they said. So, we placed the exact same order on the 8th. The phones were on backorder, and one of our phones died completely, so we decided to cancel then iPhone order and go with an LG and a Samsung, just to make our lives easier. And this is where the problems really began... T-Mobile said they cancelled the iPhone order "no problem." That same night, T-Mobile charged our debit card $475. In addition to the charge for the new phone order. A grand total of $730. In one night.
So, I call T-Mobile, and they tell me I would receive a refund in 24 hours "no problem." I then receive a text message that my order has shipped via UPS overnight. So, I call T-Mobile again, and the rep then contacts their warehouse to stop the shipment from going out "no problem." 24 hours later, no refund. So I call T-Mobile, again, and they tell me it would take 3-5 business days, and they don't know why I would've been told 24 hours. Ok, I'll be patient. That same night (last night) we receive two UPS packages containing the iPhones. So I call T-Mobile this morning, bright and early, because I know they will never refund us if we have the phones, which supposedly never left their warehouse. I'm advised to contact my bank and tell them these charges are unauthorized and the bank will reverse them "immediately." Really.
Ok, so I call my bank, just to appease T-Mobile. And the bank tells me since the charges are no longer pending, it would take up to 60 days to dispute. (Side note: the bank is appalled that T-Mobile would suggest this.) So, I call T-Mobile, again, and now they tell me to return the iPhones to a UPS store asap, and after 72 hours (3 more days), then they can begin the refund process, which would then take an additional 5-7 business days. I explain to the rep that I understand their process, and I understand this is not personally his fault, BUT I now have $11 in my account for the next week or so, and I have a 6 month old. He then repeats what he just told me. I speak to a supervisor, who tells me she will call me back in a few hours when I have the return tracking number, and she will process the refund for monday.

I was a 15 year customer of Verizon and about a year ago my company assigned me to a project in Nogales Sonora Mexico. In an effort to reduce my monthly cost, I was enticed by T-Mobile's claim that they would payoff your early termination fees and put me on a plan that would save me on my monthly charges. The representative failed to clearly explain that I must submit a copy of my final bill from Verizon within 90 days. I did but when I called to check on the refund, the representative told me that we must have the Verizon bill paid off before they can refund us.
The final bill was $1500 so it took me 5 months to do so. When I then re-submitted my final bill I was told that I no longer qualified for it. T-mobile took my request to special services but I was denied anyway. So not only did I get stuck paying the full $1500 but I had to purchase new phones from T-Mobile! The worst connection you can imagine. I drop off a minimum of 6 times driving home from work. I also have to be in very specific locations inside my own house for it to make connection. I called T-mobile to complain and they confirmed that they have very poor connection in this area. Something that may have been nice to know before I spent $1000 on new phones and transferring service!

First let me start by saying I opened an account with T-Mobile on Wednesday, July 08, 2015 because I was unhappy with AT&T high rates and billing practices. It was recommended to me to go to T-Mobile because they have cheaper rates. I went online and checked out T-Mobiles phones and plans. With T-Mobile you have to pay in full for their phones. I decided against spending $700 on a new iPhone when my phone is fairly new. On T-Mobile's website it gives you the option to search for your current phone to see if it is compatible. When you select your phone on the website it says: "Phones that are GSM-capable should work on our network. Most phones from AT&T, plus Apple iPhones 5 & 6 from AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon are GSM capable. See below for more information on confirming whether your device will work at 3G or 4G LTE speeds on our network."
Because I had an iPhone with AT&T I was under the impression that my phone would work. I ordered the two SIM cards and was required to pay an $80 deposit which I paid. I received the SIM cards on Monday, July 13, 2015. I put the SIM card in and found out the phone was locked and could not be used with T-Mobile's network. I called T-Mobile to request a refund because I was unable to use the service. The first guy I spoke with at 1-877-453-1304 said he couldn't help me and transferred me to another number, and a guy with an island accent was on the line. I explained my situation to him, and told him I wanted a refund because I can't use their service. He told me to call AT&T and get the phone unlocked so that I could use the phone. I explained to him the reason I was going to T-Mobile was because I didn't want to deal with AT&T any longer and if I have to call them back I might as well stay with them.
He then suggested that I go to a third party retailer and pay them to unlock my phone. I told him I have service with T-Mobile why should I go to a third party for phone services. I then repeated myself and explained to him that I just no longer wanted the service. He told me he had to transfer me to the right department to get me my money back. He never asked me for ANY information, not my name or anything, and he proceeded to put me on hold for a total of about 50 minutes. Between him and the guy who transferred me to him, I was on the phone with them both for about 4 minutes total and on hold for about 50 minutes (HE NEVER CAME BACK TO THE PHONE). While I was on hold I began to tweet and I talked to a chat representative.
The chat representative explained to me the same thing, that I must call AT&T and have them unlock my phone, and I informed her that at this point I might as well stay with AT&T. She also gave me another number to call, which was 1-800-937-8997. I called that number and it was a financial specialist who said I had a total bill due of $118 and some change and how would I like to pay. I asked her "How do I have a bill due when I haven't even started the service yet?" She told me she's just the financial specialist and payments are all she handles.
She then transferred me to the Buyer's Remorse Department, and they finally assisted me with cancelling the service, but they told me I had to wait 30 days to be refunded and they would send my deposit back to me via the mail on a prepaid debit card in 30 days (which is ridiculous, and unheard of). And their twitter help is a joke. They finally responded and said "Was the prepaid debit card the answer to your problem?" I said "no" but I was given no other choice and they never responded. I'm glad this all happened within 5 days so I wouldn't be stuck with them for any longer. Something so simple became a nightmare. All this in only 5 days. Oh and I asked for an email confirmation, to confirm the cancellation and they said they couldn't give me one but I will receive a bill reflecting a zero balance.

My experience is similar to others. I cancelled my contract with AT&T because T-mobile said they would pay the cancelling cost. I took my bill into the store as soon as I receive it and the employee scanned and uploaded it to the website for me. It was denied because they said they could not see the connection fee on the invoice. Even though there was a line that clearly stated it. This time I sent it myself and circled it. They told me it would take 8 weeks to process. Then they denied it again; this time they said I sent it in too late.
I'm canceling my service. I feel like I am not dealing with an UNETHICAL COMPANY. The customer service center says there is nothing they can do about it - the process is automatic. The regular T-mobile company says it is handled by the Carrier Freedom Group and they do not have access to any of the claims. When I spoke to someone in that group they sounded like thugs on the phone. I am through with this company. I am going back to AT&T.

In January of 2015 I switched my family's phone plan to T-Mobile. After receiving our new phones and porting our previous numbers we realized shortly thereafter that the service in our locale was horrible -- despite the fact we live a mere 25 miles north of NYC. After ten day of repeatedly dropped calls and text messages which never seemed to be delivered we contacted T-Mobile and cancelled our plan. Roughly 45 days after having sent the new phones back to their Hardware Receiving Department we received a bill in the mail for $1,450. Upon inquiring about said bill with their Billing Department we discovered that they were in fact attempting to charge us the full market value of the phones we had returned ($1,300 for the phones and $150 for a FULL month's service), but which they had no record of receiving.
After some research we were able to produce the UPS tracking number of the return package and furnish proof that the phones had in fact been sent. A couple of weeks later T-Mobile informed us that their Hardware Receiving Department had failed to record their receipt of our incoming return package. Big Mistake #1. Having resolved the hardware issue we then proceeded to dispute the $150 bill for a FULL month's service despite the fact that we only used the phones for 10 days. Rather than work with us to come to a fair agreement about the service bill without warning they handed our account to a collection agency, Amsher Collections. Big Mistake #2. After initially being contacted by the collections agency we were informed that we could submit a letter to them with the dispute details and as long as the case was still open we would not have an overdue account report filed with the consumer credit rating agencies.
With this information in hand we submitted a lengthy letter to Amsher only to not hear from them for an extended period of time. In early July we received notification through our credit monitoring service that an overdue account report had been filed against us. Any guesses who file the report? Sure enough our fine friends at Amsher. Big Mistake #3. Now we are hard at work trying to resolve the issue with both Amsher and T-Mobile, both of whom constantly refer us to contact the other, and reverse the punitive action that has been taken on our credit report.
We have personally never had so much difficulty dealing with any business as we have experienced with T-Mobile. First they attempt to charge us for hardware they received, but failed to properly record in the logistic systems. Then rather than work with a customer who has a legitimate billing complaint they roll us to a collections agency. And lastly, the collections agency does hold up the agreement they are bound to in the paperwork they sent us, but rather instead files a damaging report to our credit profile.
I would not recommend ANYONE, retail, commercial, or corporate to do business with T-Mobile. They are a pathetic excuse for a well functioning, customer minded organization and should have their business license permanently revoked in every municipality, state, and country they currently operate in. While continuing to try and sort out this mess we are contemplating filing a negligent practices lawsuit against both T-Mobile and their affiliate Amsher Collections. In closing, I would rather use smoke signals and talk through a cup with a string attached to it to carry out my personal communications than ever touch any phone associated with T-Mobile services.

Meanwhile in real world conditions, my friend has service with them and his house gets full bars and 4g LTE. In that same house, my T-Mobile phone drops to edge speed and has 2 bars. This is common many places in the city. So I get a lower plan that gets "Closer" to price. Here's what I get for "closer" to the price of the competition. Take off the insurance, reduce data to the 1 free gb a month, and for that lesser service I only have to pay a little over $82 a month! More than twice the cost for worse reception and less data. Cricket on the other hand offers 2.5 gb data on that $35 plan. If you go with the same service w/ 5 gb it's $45 a month. This also has the insurance in the bill. At the end of this experience in retail rip off here is the reality - Annual costs: T-Mobile = $1,440; Cricket = $420. Why would ANYONE pay that much more for so much less?!

However, we moved to a town 1 hour from the city. Lo and behold - no service coverage at all. Friends and family don't even call me at home anymore because it's impossible to have a conversation.

T-Mobile is a outfit that survives on one principal and one principal alone: SALE BY ANY MEANS! I have experienced some of the most deceptive, misleading, fraudulent service from this company. From "electronically" signing us up for a contract, selling devices that do not work to poor billing, OVERCHARGING, and privacy breaches (sending our bill out to a strangers address for 3 months). The most recent, we have a WiFi "hot spot" device with T-Mobile. The device is a year old. At time of purchase we elected to pay via installment. The device has stopped working, they will not replace and we still owe $78.00 on the device. The advice we received from the T-Mobile rep was to buy another device. I will be filing a legal complaint and I suggest all other victims do the same.

Wondering why T-Mobile does not recognize American Samoa and Guam as US Territories for US rates. Called American Samoa from my T-Mobile through wifi-calling because it said US to US FREE. Found out through my huge bill that American Samoa and Guam is considered under "international" rates. Found this to be ridiculously unfair. There are 4 US Territories: Guam, American Samoa, Puertro Rico and Virgin islands. Called T-Mobile customer service to complain and was told that American Samoa is under international rates $2.75 plus a MINUTE!! Wow!
American Samoa has been a US Territory for over 115 yrs and have US Service men and women coming out of our Territories yet we still have to pay international rates!! Come on T-Mobile please DEFINE US to US! Should state FREE wifi calling to US and 2 Territories (Puerto Rico and Virgin Islands) ONLY. NOT Including American Samoa and Guam!! Misleading and I have the bill to pay!!

I have T-Mobile for 1 year and the service is horrible. I get more dropped calls and missed text than any other company I've had. They sent a so-called booster to enhance my service and it's a piece of junk. Even with 4 bars showing on my phone I still experience dropped calls. I am cancelling my service next month because after numerous trips to the T-Mobile store and hours on the with tech support my service is horrible. I regret ever getting T-Mobile. Thank goodness there is no contract. Good riddance T-Mobile - you won't get my business or money ever again.

I had T-Mobile 12 years ago, canceled my 2 lines because of bad service, paid off every single penny of my cancelation fees. Years later they sent me to collection because they said there is still a balance. Unfortunately the bank I had at the time is out of business and I can't proof that I paid them. I still have the confirmation numbers but they say those numbers don't mean anything to them. I filed a complaint with the FCC and I'm just waiting to see what they can do.

First off they say they will pay your ETF but they don't, they reimburse you for them and after I signed all the paperwork they tell me that it takes 6 weeks to receive it. It has been almost a year and after many phone calls now they are saying they didn't get my paperwork and it's too late!!!!!!

I went to a T-Mobile store in my area with the intent to switch my service to them after being with AT&T for the last five years. I ended up not switching and this is why. First of all, the trade-in values for the phones we were trading in were all way too low. $116 for an LG G3 that I had barely had a month? Don't think so. The second issue was the internet speed. A speed test was done with my phone versus the salesman's T-Mobile phone. AT&T blew them out of the water right there in their store! Third and final reason, the switching fees. If I have to wait another 8 weeks to get the money for old phones, how am I supposed to pay off that big, final bill? It's in my name on my credit and has to be paid, but T-Mobile doesn't give you any guarantees on when you will get your refund to pay your final bill to pay off your old carrier. Sorry, T-Mobile - Too many question marks for me. I'm glad I stayed with AT&T.

After talking with her about this my main concern was cell coverage out in the western states as I travel out there to visit family. She assured me that T-Mobile's coverage would be great out there so I went with their plan.

The rep was rushing me and didn't answer my questions about my new bill. I never traded in my old phone. I was paying for two phones as I paid for phone in my bill instead of paying for the device. When I went in the very next day with my receipt I stayed in the store 3 hours! To have to call the t-mobile 1 877 number for them to help. The store couldn't refund it and do the purchase over even though I have 15 days to do so. No manager was around after 3 hours of waiting to waive my restocking fee. And the guy kept telling me to go to another t-mobile store!!!
After 3 hours I had to call for a fifth time customer service for t-mobile... talk to a supervisor. Ship my phone and pay for shipping handling and insurance on my package. This was a horrible experience feeling like no one can help you. You're stuck with 2 devices because of a rushed worker and still have to give them your money.

I was a T-Mobile customer for 13 yrs. For the most part I didn't have any issues with them until the last 3 yrs. Over the last 3 yrs I would not receive text messages or phone calls from people trying to reach me. There were also issues with people not receiving my calls or text messages. This happened frequently, 2-3 times a month I would have entire days where I would not get calls or texts and my friends, family and colleagues would have to use Facebook or call my work to reach me. I switched sim cards and cell phones but still had the issue. I finally switched carriers in the end of May 2015. I knew that I had a balance due but was unable to access my account online as soon as my number was ported over to my new provider. I had signed up for paperless billing years ago so I didn't have a bill laying around with my account number on it.
When I called T-Mobile to attempt to pay them, they wouldn't let me access the account without the account number because I was no longer on the network. After a month they started calling me threatening to put me into collections. I told them to send me a bill because I was unable to access the account and that I would pay the bill. The next day they called again and I explained the same thing. They began calling me constantly and called me 8 times in one day. Then when they had me in "pre-collections" I explained to the representative again that I was unable to access the account, otherwise I would have paid the bill. She told me that she hears that very frequently. I offered to make a payment plan just to get the process started and that I would pay them $50 that month and pay the balance after I got paid again. Bad cell service and poor customer care. Not happy! Don't waste your time or money on T-Mobile.

I have never written a review in my entire life. T-Mobile deserves an award for pushing me to create an account and write a review. I moved to Ohio a few months back and I switched network providers from AT&T to T-Mobile and since the time I have moved here the network coverage has been extremely **. I get no coverage in my office which is in the first floor and I have to keep my phone at a designated spot to get a faint coverage. I have now resorted to using the web apps to text since I cannot use SMS anymore because there is no coverage! All the important calls to my phone during office hours are directed to voice mails. Then when I get back home which is 5 mins from work the saga repeats. I have lived in different countries and used different carriers and this is by far the worst. I have now applied for AT&T again and hope they approve the transfer. Please do yourself a favor and stay away. It's not worth the heartache to save $5.

It started maybe 2 years ago, I lost my phone and got a new replacement. After sometime the phone started to give me problems (battery dies quickly, and phone will shut off/restart on its own - multiple times) so after some troubleshooting T-Mobile offered to send me a refurbished phone. After I receive the refurbished phone, the battery problem continued. The battery dies out quickly and phone will overheat. After more troubleshooting T-Mobile send me a battery, but the problem continued (battery dies quickly and heats up.) Now they wanted to send me another refurbished phone, so I plead to many members to see if they can send me a new phone and the last rep I spoke to told me he'll note for the request and it'll be a very high chance (80%) I'll get one.
When I come to receive the phone I noticed it could be a refurbished phone, the two previous problems I had continued and this time the home button would intermittently inoperable. They send me another phone and after I set up my accounts, that night I had problems making calls (I called a friend and after 5-10 min I couldn't hear anything while my friend heard everything, I tried calling T-Mobile but the rep himself couldn't hear me. Frustrated, I turn the phone off and called and this time they heard me And went through some troubleshooting and after, offered to send me another refurbished phone. I continued to plead for a new phone but they sent me a refurbished phone that continued to die out quickly, overheat, and had a delay with the screen that sometimes when I received a phone call I couldn't even pick it up because the screen was inoperable.
This time I have had it. I received multiple of phone within 3-4 months and the issues either continued or increased. So I spoke to someone higher up in the company and advised me to get a new phone or get another refurbished phone. I decided to wait for the Samsung galaxy note 4 to come out in 6-8 months (I had the note 2 at that time). In October I upgraded to the note 4 and after 2 week I had a slight issue with the phone and T-Mobile gave me a refund and exchanged it with a brand new phone. The problem now was they charged me the full price of the phone and I had to return it to get another one and this time they would set it up as a monthly payment for 24 months. Everything was ok until my phone was stolen and I got a brand new one.
Now 2-3 months ago I started to get video problems so I contacted Samsung and went through some troubleshooting with them until they told me my phone had a problem and should send it in for repair that would take 4-6 weeks. I couldn't stay without a phone for that long so I contacted T-Mobile and they offer to send me a refurbished phone to resolve the problem. After receiving the refurbished phone I started to have battery problems (the phone would heat up and the battery would drain 50% in one to two hours. Before it would last the whole day from 7 am to 12 am and still have 40% left. I would have to charge the phone 3 times a day now. I also started to have a problem with the home button where it would stick. I contacted T-Mobile and they want to send me another refurbished phone that might not help resolve the problem. I was hoping there is something I could do to resolve the problem.

I signed up with T-mobile after my Verizon bill got too high. They bought out my contract which was good. The coverage is lousy and from the very start I had issues with a low signal strength at my home. The signal improved after some time at home but whenever I left the metro area and traveled into the country I have none to little phone signal and no 4G data.
One year into my T-mobile adventure my phone started freezing up and then would not start up at all. I figured I would be ok due to my insurance. I went to a T-mobile store on wed at noon and they ordered me the replacement phone. The next day 24 hours later I checked for shipping info and it said the order was still pending and to give it 48 hours. I checked back with them the next day after the 48 hours had gone by and they still had no answer but the agent on the online chat said she would escalate order to the next level. 53 hours after initial order I used my girlfriend's phone to call T-mobile and the agent checked the order and told me that the order would take 9 days from wed noon. Bottom line, if you live in the country or travel then don't use T-mobile because of their lousy coverage. What's the use of having good cell phone plans pricing if there is no good coverage or customer service.

Customer satisfaction survey pops up multiple times per day interrupting my usage of the device. Apparently it's not going to go away unless I purchase one of the "offers" at substantial discount it is claimed. I don't want to purchase the "offers." T-MOBILE needs to remember that they are not a necessary utility like electric or water. I don't HAVE to have an account with them and this along with some of their billing games (pioneered by the utility companies to red line and create excessive and unnecessary profit from the demographic strata that can't afford to jump when they say "jump!") is not endearing themselves to us. My husband already plans to quit T-Mobile as soon as the phones are paid. He might forget about it if they clean up their act but these constant "surveys" popping up are putting me in agreement with him.
Again, telephone service is optional. We don't HAVE to have a phone. The company might want to consider that when making decisions about spamming customers with surveys trying to force them to buy unsellable warehouse surplus.

I switched from Net10. I was happy with AT&T Net10 service. I decided to save money and said well T-Mobile should be better now - yeah right. We started off okay. Will just keep the phones we had - bad idea. But this is where it turns for the worst.
The corporate T-Mobile store has the wrong prices on the phones on purpose. So instead of paying 17 bucks a month they make us pay 21 a month for 2 phones. We are almost paid off thankfully. So that was the first lie. I went thru 5 phones - one of the phones came water damaged and they charged me insurance for that one. Even though they sent me this water damaged phone under warranty replacement. Then a week later I dropped the z1s and broke the screen. I took it and broke it as much as possible since it's a insurance claim.
So then I sent it back to the insurance company. I got a lower grade s4 for my replacement and my insurance went up. After that I dropped insurance on my s4 since well it's not worth that much. I still have insurance because I found out that phone was 100 percent plastic. Not even glass as they stated. So the phone was not the quality they claimed. Now I'm stuck with service. All our lines - all four of our lines loses service from T-Mobile constantly and they will not fix the problems. We are stuck with T-Mobile for another year.
I will never buy another phone from them. And will not buy T-Mobile branded phones since most of them are fakes. Our service is expensive and they will not match Sprint's service plans. Next year I will be switching to AT&T service and my parents too. I don't want to have Sprint pay off our plans because our phones we have so much invested and we would just lose even more money. Do not think T-Mobile is a good idea. Go to Sprint if you live in a populated area. T-Mobile is not a good company. Stay away from their prepaid service as well. Metro, Family Mobile, Net10, T-Mobile, etc.

Well for last 5 years of service I have had to go outside to be able to get service on my phone. Of course I stayed with them and last November they recommended a personal cell spot router that still did not work. I still missed very important work related and medical related calls. Yet I stayed with them. I think over that last 6 months I started to receive automated calls. “Your bill is due in 14 days. Your bill is due in 12 days,” and so on and so on. Well I called T-Mobile and they gave a different answer over time. The last one was that the FCC told them they had to do it. AT&T and Verizon knew nothing of this and the calls were like early in the morning on a Sunday. So the last time I told them if they can't change it I am going to have to find a new carrier. It didn't seem to bother them a bit.
Oh yeah the brand new IPHONE I just bought from them they told me it was worth $150.00 and the $10.00 I was paying on insurance. If I were to lose it, break it or anything it would cost me $175.00 to replace. My next step was to get the personal cell spot router back to T-Mobile and overtime I called they wanted $59.00. I told them since I had to switch service I am going to pay you $10.00 a month until it is paid and the first person told me I could just take the router to my local store. So I did and they knew nothing about it and the lazy rep could not or would not call someone for help so I did and the first thing I heard from the phone reps voice was. “So I see you have a balance off $109.00 and how would you like to pay?” And I had to explain about my payment arrangement and that is not what I am calling about. I finally got someone who would talk to the store rep. This is all on my phone.
The store rep talks to the phone rep for about 5 minutes and it seems as if they are on the same page. So she hangs up and messes with the computer some more and then tells me she can't do it. So I had to make more calls to T-Mobile and overtime it was just about collecting the money. Then someone told me they were emailing me a billing label for their device and that never happened. Then one more embarrassing call and finally found someone who knew what they were doing and I got my billing label emailed to me. Now I am getting harassing calls from T-Mobile almost every day now. But the good news is I am with AT&T now and it is a flat rate of 60.00 dollars and if I lose my phone I just pay a little over $50.00 to replace it. I have gone through every site I could including FB to complain about T-Mobile and I will not stop until I cost them 100x more money than they have cost me.

I've had T-Mobile for a couple years. Over that time I've lived in two cities. In both I have constantly had issues with dropped calls, texts that won't go through or I don't receive for hours and hours after they are sent and pretty much any other coverage issues you can think of. I use my phone for business and have seen that clients have tried calling/texting me and it just never gets through. My current home is a complete dead spot. I have to walk in my backyard to make a call.
I apparently am in a great area for signal, or so I've been told when I've talked to T-Mobile representatives. I can't imagine what a bad area must be like. I had Verizon and switched to T-Mobile to save a buck. I'm getting ready to change service again and try AT&T. Maybe it will be a happy middle ground. My advice to anyone considering T-Mobile is just spend the extra money and go with a better provider. It's worth it. Everyone I know that has had T-Mobile has had the same problems.

Before my family went for Bermuda cruise operated by Norwegian Cruise Line from 05/17/2015 to 05/24/2015, I called the T-Mobile customer Service and checked for the text message charge of the ship on Norwegian Breakaway while the ship sail away from the port. The agent just gave me the information of 50 cents per text message while we make on the ship, they didn't mention about the limited characters of the text message. So I told my wife and son that the text message charge is 50 cents per text, and I told them not to make over two messages each day while on the ship. Last week, I went online and checked the bill from T-Mobile.com, I was confused that the bill was $140 more than the regular monthly charge, then I found the over charge was from the text messages that happened in the Bermuda cruise.
I contacted with the T-Mobile customer service, asked them why they charged the same text message from 5 to 117 times of 50 cents. The answer was 180 is the limited characters for each text message, I requested for the credit because the T-Mobile customer agent was responsible for not giving me the exact information before we went to the Bermuda Cruise, but the T-Mobile agent and manager rejected. By the way, we have stayed with T-Mobile as customer for over ten years.

T-Mobile: always areas where service slow, had to pay full price of phone versus Verizon where you just sign 2 years and get for free. In addition, after paying $600, with warranty and insurance, phone gets liquid damage and you need $175 deductible - fyi... not $50 per month. If you want decent continuous 4g, extra $30 plus tax and insurance.

After being with T-Mobile for over 15 years, we switched 4 of our 5 lines to AT&T because of reception issues where we live. On the one line that remains, we have been fighting for 6 months to complete a transfer of responsibility to my son who only stays with T-Mobile to finish paying for his phone. He called to make a payment arrangement on the account then paid the first installment early because he had to go out of town on a job assignment. He gave them the correct card information for the payment and for the payment arrangement. They charged his card AND charged my card which I had left on the account when I covered his last payment for him.
I was LIVID!! I called them and they refused to cancel the pending transaction on my card. They promised to refund me the charge plus overdraft charges the amount will cause but said it would take 7-10 business days to get my money. I am so glad I left T-Mobile and my son is working on getting away from them also.

I was so excited to hear that T-Mobile had no contract and would pay for disconnection fees from the other carrier. I went to the T-Mobile store and gladly handed over my new Note 4, a Galaxy 5, and a iPhone 5. To my surprise the person who helped me did not explain what I had to do correctly which delayed the process. I called customer service and was told that I would get my reimbursement in 8 weeks.
Well eight weeks passed and nothing. I called customer service again. They switched me from one person to another. I was in the phone for 2 hours trying to get the reimbursement. Note: Verizon is charging me monthly fees for the phones and disconnection fees. March, April, May and June. Total 2,284.12. At this point I paid Verizon because I didn't want to ruin my credit. T-Mobile took my brand new phones and told me "sorry, but you did not qualify for the reimbursement" because I filed the papers late according to the rules and regulations. So I got jacked by T-Mobile and paid Verizon. I still have a T-Mobile account and paying for the same phones I handed over to T-Mobile when I switched from Verizon to T-Mobile. I need to lawyer up. T-Mobile owes me 2,284.12.

When switching to T-Mobile they make it sound so easy but when you're already in it, all excuses that they can give you they'll tell you. All I can say is don't get fooled with what they'll tell you cuz once you're in it they'll find ways for you not to get your ETF. It's been six months since I got my phone and I still have not gotten my ETF. Now they wanted me to resubmit my application again for the 4th time. Are you kidding me? I guess they'll keep doing it until I get to a point that I'll just give up myself. I have learned my lesson very well. "Don't be fooled with their ad!" If there's only an option for no star, not even 1 star this company is getting from me. I will try to switch to a different phone carrier ASAP. Goodbye T-Mobile and I'm not coming back ever.

So I'm traveling from New York City to Orlando on vacation. My Galaxy S5 charger port didn't work. I looked online for a T-Mobile retailer who is a professional to fix my phone. I found one near my hotel at 9924 Universal Blvd. No problem. I took a drive to the store and meet with a representative named **. I spoke with ** for about 10 mins as he checked out my phone. He discovered what I had already told him. My charger port does not work. ** broke my screen and now asking me to pay him an extra 140+40 for charger port. He first told me he could fix in a hour so I said ok and went to my hotel room. I came back in exactly a hour and 20 minutes. He was in front of the store smoking a cigarette. He left the store unattended. He wasn't nice, very rude but didn't pay much mind to it since I'm on vacation and I needed him more than he needed me.
He probably figured I had some money since I was on vacation. He is a professional and does 100s of phones a month. He couldn't have broke my screen unless it was on purpose or he just switched it with the bad one I saw on the table. It will be cool if T-Mobile doesn't fix it or give me my screen how I gave it to them. But I will not give him any more money than what I'm supposed to. I just want to get out the message. Do NOT TAKE YOUR PHONE to 9924 Universal Blvd. in Orlando Florida 32819. He will switch parts and try to make extra money on you. He tried to sell me a screen under the table for cash only no tax. Every T-Mobile location charges you tax. I just want my phone. He wants to rip me off.

I started with T-Mobile in May of 2014. I decided to switch from Sprint to T-Mobile because of their EFT Reimbursement program and because a work discount made T-Mobile cheaper. When I was in the store, the lady got all of my account info, had me pull up my billing, verified that because it was under $400 it would all be covered, and assured me that my work discount had been set up. I left the store thinking I was good to go and didn't need to do anything further.
Four months later, I still wasn't seeing my 17% work discount and a collections letter from Sprint was forwarded to my new address. I was upset about the discount, but I was livid about the collections notice - I was laid off in the fall of 2013 and went 10 weeks without a paycheck. During that time I know my credit took a hit due to a closed account. I'd been working really hard to build up my credit again and hadn't had so much as a late payment in 18 months, and now a collections notice for an account I had been told was taken care of. I called in to T-Mobile and that act alone is a nightmare. I called in, sat on hold for 20 minutes, was transferred to another line, sat on hold, and then the call dropped. This happened two or three times. I don't usually blame a call center for dropped calls, except for I was using their service to make the call.
I finally talked to a girl and she explained something 150% different than what the girl in the store explained. Sprint was never paid off and my discount was never applied because there were 4 or 5 steps to each, that were like an online homework assignment. She promised to backdate the discount being added and apologized for the misinformation about my Sprint account. Of course there was no recourse for this and no apology could fix that. I still get angry over it. She also explained though that with the EFT program it can take weeks to get your prepaid card and I was better off paying for it myself.
I went ahead and paid off the collections notice, then I followed the steps to get my work discount, and I submitted the info or my reimbursement. It wasn't hard, a lot of little busy work items. If it had been explained properly in the store it wouldn't have been an issue. HOWEVER, the girl in the store told me everything with canceling Sprint would be covered, which was false. Out of the $350, only $132 was actually covered. I wouldn't have switched if I had known only a small portion was covered.
My bill did drop some the next month by about $40 (she may have backdated it by a month or so, but definitely not back to the start date as promised) and I was happy about that. My happiness faded though when the next month, my bill SKYROCKETED to $180. That's right, it started at $120, dropped to $80, and then I was expecting it to be able $100 a month. But the next bill went to $180, undoing any discount I saw the previous month. After that it always stayed in the $115-$130 range. Their billing is terrible. How does a person with unlimited everything have a bill that changes monthly??? And there is absolutely no breakdown on the bill or online.
I decided to jump on my parents family plan with Verizon in Spring of 2015 (less than a year of T-Mobile is a year too much). They always advertise about how they have no contracts and no cancellation fees, which I find misleading. I owed $368 on my device when I cancelled. My final bill should be about that much, right? WRONG. It was $564. I got a letter explaining that $92 was for service that hadn't been paid for yet, but that would still leave me at a total of $460. Somehow, I owe $100 more with ZERO explanation. I called to set up a payment plan, and they kind of corner you. I was assuming I could just pay $100 a week, but they make you pay the balance over 1-4 payments. You can't have more than 4 payments no matter what the original amount it. You also have to authorize them to draft you, if not they'll send it to collections.
I've worked for big companies before (GEICO) and as long as people kept making payments, we couldn't send them to collections. They could call and make payments on your own. T-Mobile insists that if you don't set up a plan and allow them to draft you then you'll go to collections. I don't know if that's true, but after the Sprint collections issue, I didn't want to test them. You also can't really sell the device until it's paid off, because if anyone buys it they'll tell them that if you don't make the payment, they'll lock the device.
Overall, the service was pretty bad. The customer service was even worse. There's no communication between corporate and the stores, or even within the people at corporate. Always a different answer or explanation. It cost me hundreds more than it should have when I went through and added up all of my payments. Twenty extra here and there, plus never seeing a 17% discount that I was promised; it all added up. Because of their terrible communication (or lack of training and understanding) at the store level, I have a blimp on my credit score. My credit was finally going back up and boom... guess I'll put off buying a new car. OH, AND DID I MENTION AFTER I MADE THE SPRINT PAYMENT, IT TOOK 5 MONTHS TO GET MY REIMBURSEMENT CARD. YES, 5 MONTHS. THAT IS INSANE.

After nearly an hour, at the very last moment right before we would agree to place the order, my wife asked about the warranty and got the answer that it was 90 days.

My T-Mobile account was fraudulently used by someone who ordered four phones in my name totaling $3,750.72. They used the last four digits of my social security number and my name. T-Mobile acknowledge the fraud and said they were investigating and they would take charges off my account, which they did. However, upon finding out this info, I had to order a monthly protection plan with Equifax to put security alert on my credit, because I fear they might have the whole number. I called T-Mobile to get something in writing stating the identity theft, so I can take it to the proper authorities. The representative told me that there is nothing that they can give me. They do not have statement letters like that. The only thing they can do is to put a security alert on my T-Mobile account, so if anyone tries to buy any more phones they will have to show the proper identification.
I asked to speak to supervisor and representative told me supervisor will tell me the same thing. I feel this was an inside job. How can T-Mobile acknowledge that this fraudulent activity have happened and someone is using their customer's social security number fraudulently and you're not trying to help the customer protect their interest by giving them a copy of the fraudulent activity on their account? Is T-Mobile afraid to let the public know that their state of the art system is being hacked or the fraudulent activities is an inside job? Customers' accounts are being hacked with all their personal information.

June 30, 2010 I moved from New York to North Carolina. At that time I notified T-mobile of my new address. They changed it on my statement but did not change it for fee and tax calculation. They have overcharged me for federal and state taxes and fees for the past 5 years and will do nothing to correct it!

I really like T-Mobile. The service is great. The plans are straightforward. I believe in everything they're doing. They changed the wireless game. They pushed the envelope further. The one thing I don't like is the "unlimited 4G/LTE" internet. I've tested it for months and after about 17 GB of usage, it throttles down drastically. I rely on the network for my business and this is a bummer. I wish it was really unlimited 4G/LTE.

I purchased Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge from T-Mobile, on cash not wanting to be hooked with contract. The phone stopped working after 24 days without any form of physical or water damage. I took it back to T-Mobile office for phone exchange on manufacturer warranty. I was told by their rude agent, to ship it to their warehouse, which I did at my expense. I was suppose to get the replacement phone after 5-7 business day. But it's going two months now and they never sent any replacement phone. Each time I called the T-Mobile customer care, they rudely tell me that I should keep on waiting till I hear from them. Apparently they are not doing anything to replace the phone. I believe T-mobile is selling the fake version of Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge and do not honor their return policy.
Warning: If you must buy this expensive phone, avoid purchasing it from T-Mobile. T-Mobile will sell fake Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge to you!!!

I bought my 15 year old nephew a phone, a cheap phone because he's 15. I did not consent to the jump program because it does not make any sense to pay another 10.00 a month plus 8.00 a month in payments on his new phone for a cheap phone when I'm not planning to upgrade ever. I had call in march 2015 to get detailed information of my charges because I wanted to cancel a line and the customer service representative failed to disclose to me that I was paying for this jump program. If they did I would have been disputing it at that time.
I have been a T-Mobile customer for 15 years and I have never been so dissatisfied or disappointed with T-mobile as I am right now. I plan on filing a complaint with the BBB because after calling t-mobile they have not returned my call yet. I will cancel all my lines if need be. T-mobile already has a bad reputation and it's only getting worse.

I was trying to switch from Verizon (because of high bills). I did all my transaction on internet with T-mobile. Completed the transaction. My credit is not perfect so they charged me $940 as down payment for the iPhones I chose. System gave me my order # but at the end I got an error code that my order was not processed. To call customer service, that was a weekend and the number they gave it's only for office hours. So I called Monday and the rep told me to start all the process again. After 45 minutes he told me my order didn't went through, and he asked to go to the store for identity proof.
I went to store and explain the situation to the the salesperson. He started all over again. And at the end because they have to take my money again (from my credit card), payment didn't went through because my credit line is $1,000. And they charged me once, so he told me they put a hold on my credit card and will clear in 5 days, return after 5 days and do it all over again. Bottom line, I'm not switching to T-mobile. We started bad relationship and not even a customer yet!!

I have gone through about 4 refurbished phones in the last month. I have insurance for my Galaxy 4. But every phone they have sent out to me has not been working properly. My phone I have not even had it for 1 yr and a half. It's been paid off for a while the 600 bucks it costed. And as they keep doing weekly is sending me non working refurbished phones. I am irritated as they have poor customer service. I have been hassled so much. And now I have another refurbished phone on the way. It will be my fourth one. What's the point of having insurance if you're going to be hassled about it when you need it? Worst customer service ever. And they keep trying to suggest I do jump.

I recently switched from Verizon to T-mobile. I brought my own phones, but they shipped phones to me anyway. I returned them over a month ago. A month ago, I saw the bill and they were still charging me for those phones. I called and they acknowledged that they had received them, and that they would correct the problem, and that they would credit the amount for those phones, and that my next bill would be correct. This month bill was still the same. I called again and again they told me to pay the full amount and that within 30 days they would fix the problem. They insisted that I should pay the full amount of the bill.
Finally after some arguments they decided to credit me with the difference and that "they would take care of the problem". Ultimately, they sent me equipment I did not ask for, I returned them, they acknowledged that they had received over a month ago, they still wanted to charge me for this equipment and told me that I would have to wait at least another month for them to fix the problem. Unacceptable.

I called T-Mobile to purchase a new service. I'm currently with AT&T for so many years and wanted to give this new T-Mobile a chance. First call for almost an hour on the phone in the evening with so many holds, we were on the final stage of the process while she was reading me all this terms and agreements when suddenly we got disconnected. No call back. She had my number, my email and already did a credit check, got my credit card number and all info but never heard of her again. I sit put for half an hour and tried calling them again but their office was closed already.
Following day, during my work hours, tried calling them again for the second time to check if my order went through but it did not, went through the whole process but couldn't stay that long on the phone so this new person gave me a transaction number and a 1-800 number to call to finish my transaction when I have the time. Called that number and entered my order # but the automated voice machine said it wasn't in their system and have to try again in 2 hours. 3 hours later, still nothing.
3rd time to call their Sales department and have to explain what happen, still end up going through the whole process. Trying to be patient with the foreign accent guy, giving all my info and telling him I don't have the luxury of time and was promised it will be quick and almost over... Well, after another 15 minutes of telling me again and again that it's almost over after spending over 15 minutes with him on the phone, I had enough. Well, if you can't get it done the first and second time, what kind of customer service can you expect?
While ordering for the color of the phone they can't even tell me what color will ship in the box. The first person told me that if I don't like the color that will arrive I can always exchange it at the store. But the second person told me it don't work that way. Whatever they will send me, the store will have the same color in stock but I can't do the exchange over the store since I made the purchase over the phone so I have to ship it to get it exchange. Sounds like the same bait and situation I was in almost 10 years ago with this company. I guess I have to stick with AT&T unfortunately...

Closed account yet was charged full month for 2 days of service. Got final bill 1 day before it was due. Though bill said I would be charged a late fee, top billing manager said I wouldn't be. Said that it is their policy to charge a full month if service cancelled after cycle, however for the 3 whole months I had them whenever I called, no one could ever tell me what my balance was regardless of when in the cycle it was. Only time they knew my balance was the day or 2 before the bill was due.
I actually paid 2 full months worth in one month to make sure that I was paid ahead because billing is not straightforward. I called a few days after switching to another carrier (poor and declining coverage in my area) and asked what my final balance was. I was told a small charge and that I had a credit. I paid the fee and a month later get a bill for a month's service and 2 days of service where it overlapped with my new provider. I was told there was nothing they could do about my bill.

On top of the text messaging scam they're allowing, trying to get out of a contract is no exception to the rule of their attempt at scamming their customers and ruining their credit with false charges.
I had 4 phones and a tablet on my account, and I decided to upgrade to an iPhone 4S. Since T-Mobile didn't support iPhones at that time, I pretty much had to change providers and go with Verizon. I got on the phone with T-Mobile trying to explain to them that I wanted out of the contract, and had to pay for early termination fees, according to our contract. We spent 2 hours on the phone bouncing from one non-English speaking representative to another, and finally we got where we needed to be. We had to pay them nearly 12000.00 to terminate the contract without any pending payments, and they assured us that everything was in the clear. I even asked them to double-check to make sure and they said again that everything was free and clear. That would have been the last we would have heard from them, until....
...About 2 months later, we get a call from a bill collector saying we owed T-Mobile 600.00. They're trying to say that one of the payments never went through. I knew this was a lie because A: They assured us twice it did, and B: Why would one part of the payment not go through but the rest of the payments did? I told the bill collector that we already had it taken care of. We haven't heard another word back from them until....
...Another 2 months go by and I get another call from a bill collector, saying that we now owed T-Mobile 1200.00. So we went from owing nothing, to owing 600.00, to owing 1200.00. I'm seeing a pattern here. I angrily told the bill collector that I was going to say it only one more time and then I never want to hear from them again. I told them once again that we already took care of the bill and to remove our name from their call list or else legal action will be taken. Later on, I checked my credit report, and there was no mention of me ever owing T-Mobile anything... even still to this day. So let this be a HUGE lesson to everybody out there. If you are considering T-Mobile, DON'T! They are going to scam you out of money you don't even owe. Secondly, if you are already with T-Mobile, I would leave as soon as you can.

This results in dropped call, no service or slowed service. I also travel for business and have been cut off because when there are not enough T-Mobile towers, or no T-Mobile service, it goes to data roaming. I was told I needed to pay my phones and current bill off for the phones to be unlocked. Once the payment was credited (I checked and it was within 30 minutes,) it would take 30 minutes to an hour for the phones to be unlocked.
After repeated phone calls and many representatives later I was told no request had been submitted for unlocking the phones and codes had to be sent to me via email or text. The last "supervisor" I spoke with told me it could take 2 days to 2 weeks, but it had been requested to be expedited. I was told all representatives I spoke to in the beginning of the process gave erroneous information. At this point I am unable to continue with AT&T. In my opinion this has to be a legal issue. T-Mobile is paid in full. There is no reason for them to not unlock these phones immediately! I will continue to contact them daily.

Several years ago I had problems with T-Mobile trying to resolve problems with my phone. I spent countless hours on hold repeating the same information to one person and then the next. I believe this is a tactic to discourage people from getting any resolution when it's not in their favor. If this is just the fact that they are not capable of resolving problems in a timely fashion it is worse. In any case after hours of time wasted I let them know that if they could not provide the service I would have to make a change. Which ultimately I did two days after and pulled my line to AT&T. By the way the data service was considerable better with AT&T than T-Mobile.
They then tried billing me for some $1000 + which I told them I felt was inappropriate and did not believe I was responsible for. They sent it off for collection which I disputed in writing via notarized and certified letter.

I was with T-Mobile for a few years and had ok service. About 6 months after moving into my new home, in the same town, I experienced almost constant dropped calls, missed calls, etc. I had to get a land line from Comcast to make up for T-Mobile's terrible service. Being self-employed and working from my home, I am sure I lost many customers because they could not reach me. My family and friends would try calling me for important reasons and could not get me if I was not home.
The phone service might have worked about 20% of the time. If I needed to make a call, it would not go through 80% of the time. I called on several occasions and report this to T-Mobile. They said they would do a network check and call me back. I repeated this procedure many times with the same answer. Everything is working in our network.
Although, my neighbor experienced the same thing at the same time from T-Mobile as well, so we knew it was their service. They even told me to get a new phone, as they told my neighbor, also at our expense and that did not work. So, finally after 6+ months of this nightmare, I decided to quit T-Mobile and go to another provider. I paid my phone off but owed the last month. I felt that they owed me more than I owed them, so I asked them to write off the $88 as a good faith gesture. They refused.
They said that they had given me $150 in credits over the 6 month period and that was good enough. It didn't matter that I lost many customers, had no service most of the time, and spent many HOURS on the phone with them and Apple trying to figure out why this was happening! I would have just dropped it if they would have dropped the last charge.
They have been harassing me, calling my phone with automated messages that I owe this little bit of $. I really wish I would have logged every time I missed a call or called them for assistance. I would be at the Attorney's door suing them for damages! There is nothing more upsetting than trying to make a call and it not working or having someone who needed desperately to get ahold of you and would not go through. They do not even have a store in my town! I would have to travel many miles to get to one and that is what they wanted me to do so they could check out my phone.
I knew it wasn't the phone and that was proved after purchasing another one. I had insurance and they did not cover a new phone for me. It is all about them, not the Customer! Not good! Very upset that I have had to go through this and function as a small business. I am not paying the bill and they can put me in collections.

It took more than thirty days to get my money back when I returned a perfect unused phone. It sat up there for all that time, no one did their job. They have the nerve to keep bothering me after I cancelled service with them for a final bill that keeps getting bigger. I was a loyal customer for 8 years and always paid my bill. Why now are they hassling me about this. They are greedy and full of **!

After a sales agents assured I could get number portability, I signed for a family plan with T-Mobile. They were not able to honor the offer because of zone restrictions. I returned the devices and cancelled plan within 2 weeks. Months later, they charged me for the devices payment plan and family plan (about $210). Had to pay for devices I never used and returned and for a plan I cancelled, to avoid a collection agency report. When I cancelled the plan, several agents assured everything was taken care of but it wasn't. They ended sending me to collection.

We have to argue with T-Mobile's people every single time we pay our bill because they try to sneak in extra charges or remove services from our plan when we aren't looking. To be fair, I am usually able to make them respond appropriately. Their phones don't last long, and I think they set the devices to self destruct these days. I had to turn my phone off and on three times to get this internet connection, there are unreasonable errors all over the place and we often never receive phone calls that proceed to leave voicemails, which is the only reason we know anyone called at all. Whenever I run out of hotspot minutes, I lose the internet on my phone. It is not supposed to do this, as I am told every single time I have to call in to have service restored, and they have no idea what happened. They also try to charge us for out of area coverage without notice when we drive a half hour away from home.
T-Mobile is a crappy company that sells a worthless product for outrageous amounts. People have no choice but to select from mega-corporations that have crushed all decent competition with bureaucracy and money. I tried to have a land line installed several years ago and found that these companies have bought out those companies and now sell the service for more than their trashy cell phones. Absolute crap.

First off, it was supposedly pay as you go through T-Mobile. Had 2 lines on family mobile. Wanted to cancel 1 line and got charged for cancelling one line for 2 months worth pay. Tried getting money back for 3 months for being charged for no apparent reason since it's supposed to be pay as you go. Just kept getting handed off to people, told to email a certain place on the site which I did a couple times and still no response after 3 months; which then I decided to cancel my account as well; which yet again "Pay as you go" should be able to just not pay.
But I called and said I wanted to cancel cause their customer service sucked. Said I had to wait until the next month's bill then it could be cancelled. They charged me for a whole new month just to cancel which I didn't pay luckily. But they sent me a bill in the mail that I will never pay. They can go ** themselves!! T-mobile is definitely the worst! Never recommend to anyone. I use Boost Mobile now and love it!

I actually have two issues - I got charged $300 and had the plan for $100 unlimited... but plan apparently unlimited has a limit that they failed to inform me about. The 2nd issue is I pay insurance but I have to pay for a broken phone and the remainder of the new phone... Am I special or is this seeming like a scam? If you are considering T-Mobile as your carrier STAY AWAY (IN A SCARY VOICE), DON'T LET THEM PUT THEIR CLAWS IN YOU!!!

I called customer service to switch accounts, which resulted in T-Mobile instead taking my wife's number (on a separate account), canceling it, and transferring her name and voicemail onto my phone. I spent two hours trying to figure this out on the phone with T-Mobile before the company realized what it did. When trying to switch from a pre-paid account to a post-paid account online, you are not allowed to make such switch if you do not have enough funds on your current plan.
You are forced to add the sufficient amount for the new plan in order to make the switch; however, even after doing so, the online system does not reflect that you have switched plans. The kicker is when calling customer service, you are told that if you make the switch from a pre-paid to a post-paid account, you automatically lose all funds on the former. This is fraud, whether intentional or not. The technicians are very helpful and speak plain, clear English. The latter cannot be said for the rest of the customer service department: your calls are outsourced either to people requiring lots of accent-reduction courses or to people requiring enunciation courses. Sadly, this type of problem is seen all too often.

LIARS! T-mobile sucks! I tried for 12+ years to defend T-mobile for the terrible service in the tri-state area. As I understood it, THEY WERE ALL THE SAME! I think differently now. T-Mobile is the absolute worst mobile carrier! They not only provide poor service throughout this nation, they treat their customers like idiots. I am so tired of getting the run around from T-mobile. I finally found the time to research the competition, upgrade my phone and move on.
Of course T-Mobile was interested in proving superb customer service when I was moving my account. It was too late. I waited a day to call to pay my final payment. I was told my final payment was in FULL and that I would NOT be receiving any other bills and my account was closed. A week later I got a bill in the same amount I had paid to close the account. Seems that the customer service rep LIED to me. I am now disputing the payment they are expecting to close the account. Seriously! I just want out....

I cancelled my contract with T-Mobile in March and when I went into the store to pay my final bill, they tried to tell me I owe for the full month's payment, even though I only had service with them for 2 weeks of that final month. I called customer service and told them that I'd be perfectly happy to pay for the 2 weeks I had service but I was not willing to pay for a service I no longer had. She told me that paying for the full month is part of their policy and that there was nothing she could do to prorate my charges for the last 2 weeks I had service. What kind of policy is it to charge people for a service they don't even have anymore?!

A year ago I bought my daughter an iPhone 5S. After the purchase the sales guy told us that my daughter can upgrade for free anytime. If there's a new iPhone coming we can come back and upgrade for free. My daughter loves her new phone. Last week it was starting to have few glitches so I called our local T-mobile in bountiful Utah to verify if the deal was still true. The guy that I spoke to said yes, we can get a free upgrade but we would only have to pay the sales tax and it's around $45 to $50. I was so excited so we head over there. I went directly to the manager there by the name of ** who send us to another sales rep. A girl name **. She looks fairly young with piercing in her front teeth and two on her nose etc. We told her what we were there for, that we're coming for the free upgrade we were promised. She quickly showed us the new phones and of course my daughter picked the iPhone 6.
As she was looking up our acct she confirmed that yes she qualifies for a free upgrade because I have "jump" on our phones but only pay the taxes on it. We couldn't be happier. After 40 mins of her on the computer she said that my daughter has to give up her iPhone 5. My daughter hesitated cause we weren't told that and she had important pics, notes, video. She said we can upload it there to I cloud. Then she made my daughter sign into icloud. She then said to us, how much down payment we want. I was a little confused. I quickly said, "is this going to cost me $700 cause if that's the case then I don't want it." She said "oh no you only have to pay the tax," so I said "we'll pay for it then." She had difficulty uploading. At that time she made me sign something that I thought it was for the free upgrade not understanding that she made me sign to sell my daughters iPhone 5 to them.
After I click on accept she said that she she's having difficulty uploading so I quickly said "can we stop this and we'll come back tomorrow cause my daughter really needs these notes." She went over to ** the manager who said no its too late cause I already accepted... she came back to tell us that we can't stop and we have to give them my daughter's phone. She went ahead printed receipt and showed us the agreement and said $27 a month added to our acct and that's when it hit me that we just signed to pay for a whole new phone. I stopped her and asked. I thought this is a free upgrade. She said, "yes but it's not a free phone." I was devastated. I've never been so sick to my stomach than as that moment. I felt tears coming.
Supervisor came and said it's too late we already sign... we were there for 2 hrs. I begged and plead but he kept saying too late. I asked for any higher authority but he again said, he's never seen this type a thing win not matter who we talk to. I even ask for the CEO's name and he told us the name but promised us that they never give out his number or how to contact him. I'm asking for my daughter's phone back. We have been loyal customers for years. I'm gonna fight all the way. I have never felt helpless and mislead nor mistreated in my whole life. I've contacted TV station, use our media connections to get the word out. You can't treat people like this or your customers. Please help.

I work as a nanny for two young children for 10 hours a day. I have no signal inside the house or in the front or backyards. However, the T-mobile coverage map indicates that I should have full 4G coverage in that exact location. I have found one or two spots where I have one bar of signal and 3G coverage. Because these children are so young, it is imperative that I have full signal in the event that one of them get hurt. T-mobile keeps trying to get me to upgrade my phone to resolve the issue, but that is not the issue; their service is the issue. The grandmother of the kids has T-mobile and the latest iPhone and she also has NO signal at the house.
Their coverage map blatantly lies and T-mobile just wants to sell phones, but those phones are just expensive pieces of technology when there is no signal. Sure, T-mobile is somewhat cheaper than the competition. But I had Cricket for years and they were not only cheaper, but had better coverage. During my next phone upgrade, I will surely be switching to another carrier. It seems T-mobile puts their (wait, MY) money into marketing and making commercials that promote false claims. Shame on you T-mobile.

I wanted to change carries from AT&T to T-Mobile. I was, believe it or not, unhappy with AT&T, and was looking forward to changing to T-Mobile. I ordered two iPhone 6, and a sim card for an older iPhone. T-Mobile was going to pay off my remaining payments to AT&T for my current phones and they were advertising a much better plan than AT&T.
Yesterday, I received both phones and the sim card in an envelope (not a box) and proceeded to call T-Mobile to set up my phone and the sim card phone. My husband is away for a few days and still needs his old phone until he gets back. To make a very long story short, I was on the phone with T-Mobile for over 3 hours. I spoke with 16 people, yes, 16. I was cut off three times with no call back. The connections had a slight delay, so, it was very difficult to communicate (I thought this was a phone company), not to mention that every person I spoke with had a foreign accent, which didn't help the situation at all.
During the three hours of phone conversations, they activated not my phone, but, my husband's, which then had to be deactivated before AT&T could shut it off. Then, my phone was "activated". The new phone would not get service. So, I spoke with, I think 3 tech support people, one of whom actually said to me, "this is not a T-Mobile phone, where did you get it?". "Um You sent it to me, where did YOU get it?". Then I spoke with more tech people and customer care agents because while he was arranging to send me new phones (and charge my credit card for those phones) surprise surprise, we were disconnected.
At the end of the three hours, I finally gave up and said cancel my service. I'm calling AT&T to see if I can get my old number hooked back up with them. T-Mobile said "Fine, send us the phones back and we'll get you a refund". I asked how he wanted me to send the phones back, since I had already ripped open the envelope they came in. He was "shocked" that they had come in an envelope. "They're supposed to come in a box". Really? They're also supposed to work.
So, I've called my no longer arch nemesis, AT&T, and they are being kind enough to get my number back in 5 days! Yes, folks 5. So, me being a pilot who is on call and must be phone available to get to the airport to fly 180 people wherever with about three hours notice, must now sit at home all day to be sure that I can get any calls from our company schedulers for 5 days. I can't even take my daughter to school without advising my company that I will be away from the phone for a half hour and to please not give me a missed trip and dock my pay. Thank you T-Mobile. You are my new arch nemesis all time worst, most hated company ever.

Ordered two phones for my son and I. They activated the phones two days before I was supposed to receive them. Two days after due date I finally got them. The rep said I had service after she asked for my address to check. Had no Internet service at all. Called ** at the tech part. He said if we lived 10 miles either way we would have coverage but where we live in the country, we had none! So I told him I was canceling all before the 14 day cancellation period. I spent $183.76 to get the phones and returned them like I said before ethereal 14 day period was over. Then I received an email saying my payment was received and they charged me exactly 103.76. I've called and got the runaround.
Why should I pay for service I didn't receive. All I want is my money back but looks like they deducted a bunch of fees and has it down to 68.21. I want my money back and t-mobile is not refunding anything. It looks as though the rest of the 80.00 is going towards next month's fees . Also, strangely enough I received two letters saying I was denied service due to my credit afterwards. Yet I have receipts saying otherwise. Worst people in the world to lie so they can get customers only to lose them later. I went to verizon, pricey but worth it. I have service in fact I'm typing on here from my new cell on here.
All is t-mobile are liars and thieves. And I'm on disability so for me to spend that kind of money for my son and I is almost like taking away half my check and stealing it from my son and I. They shouldn't be in business if they are going to rip off anyone, disability or not. Main reason I wanted it was bc it would have saved me money and when I am ill I can reach someone especially my son and also so he can keep in touch with all his friends. Now I'm paying twice as much for good service. I guess it's true you pay for what you get, but like I said I just want my money back. But if they are going to steal off Mr I will have no issue in taking legal action and I have every receipt that I got by email through them.

See the serious problem here? I spoke with another T-Mobile rep about this and to confirm the proper procedure.
