How can I even begin to tell you how horrible this company is to deal with? I had a "post-paid" account with them for many years... there were inaccuracies but it wasn't until I went into business for myself that I came to know the full extent of how disruptive to my life they could be. The last year of service was the WORST and that is when I decided I'd be better to just use them for EM calls only. They did such as the following: when a phone that was still under contract didn't work they'd say they were sending a "brand new" replacement phone... very clearly this is what they'd say and then they'd send a "refurbished" phone instead that had inherent problems.
When I complained of "dead" areas where calls couldn't be received they told me at least 3 different times they were going to have an "engineer" do a study and I'd call back 1-2-4 months later and these studies would be reported back to me as not only never being done but never being "ordered". Another example... stated they were going to send me a "cellphone signal booster" then later said I had to return it because I lived in a condo and it would scramble the signals for EM 911 services and they would not be able to locate where the 911 calls were coming from... then months later, a customer service person stated that that wasn't true and told me he was sending me another signal booster... IT THEN TOOK 9 MONTHS for that 2nd SIGNAL BOOSTER to arrive! It arrived 1 day before my contract expired!
Then the "engineer" who was to do the "signal studies" then showed up at my door without a appointment also a couple days before by contract expired! Total INCOMPETENCE! I would have customers call me from my business that I hadn't heard from in weeks stating they couldn't reach me and that they got a message stating my phone number was out of service when it was not! It was HORRIFIC! T-MOBILE IS COMPLETELY IRRESPONSIBLE and COMPLETELY HOPELESS! I encourage you to go to just about any other cell service provider other than T-Mobile. They are completely the most ridiculous and irresponsible company I have ever dealt with... the absolute worst!

Never had any worst experience than I had today to talk with customer service of T Mobile. Just for a small information about my plan I have to wait for 1 hour 22 minute and they keep transferring me from one to another department and finally I have to disconnect line without resolve my problem. Their system is very slow. Cannot pull even account information. Seven time I have to repeat all my information. I think if T Mobile work with this kind of staff soon either they have to close or merge with any Good company. I’m really disappoint having issue with service and billing. Without asking me they change my plan and keep adding new numbers just to collect extra money.

I wanted to switch to T-Mobile last month because of their online reviews & great customer service ratings. Unfortunately, I had to cancel due to a surprise new phone for a holiday gift with my current carrier. I was super bummed & figured I would be penalized for cancelling with T-Mobile. I was pleasantly surprised with the ease of cancellation & returning the devices. The online team is quick to respond & the phone team is incredibly helpful & friendly. They truly make the customer the top priority. I look forward to dumping AT&T & getting back with T-Mobile once my contract is complete.

I had a broken phone under insurance and warranty. T-Mobile replaced my phone refurbished with third party parts and this is not what I paid for. After contacting them to get the product that I paid for they tell me there is nothing they can do for me. I would not recommend T-Mobile to my friends or family. DO NOT USE T-MOBILE people. They are untrustworthy and cheap.

We were told by our salesman that we would have service in the areas we frequently visited. We found out after signing on, that was not true, between that, our bill amount changing monthly and my iPhone never seeming to work with the carrier i.e., could not receive voicemails or calls if my Wi-Fi was on. The fix that was suggested by IT for this was to simply shut my Wi-Fi off... Thanks T-Mobile. We changed to Verizon on 12/18/15. They told us we were cancelled, I confirmed online we no longer had T-Mobile account. I called in to confirm auto pay was off.
Jan 4th an auto pay went thru for $152. I called immediately. I was told we had ZERO balance left with them, we were all set and there would be no more auto pays taken out. We then received a bill in the mail for $452. My husband called, was told by a supervisor that the bill was incorrect because we paid too much for the month before since we didn't use the whole month of service. She told him to wait for a new bill to be mailed before we paid anything. I was checking our credit card statement yesterday and they took it upon themselves to charge our card $452. Without our permission and after our account and auto pay was cancelled. When we called they acted like we never cancelled auto pay, they didn't believe or know why we had been told by 2 other reps the information they gave us. We even had names and id numbers, which are useless.
This company should be ashamed of themselves. They lied and they take money without permission from consumers. We don't even have a statement showing what that bill was for. We know we were going to owe them for our phone balances, and of course we will pay our share, but to take money from us without explanation and permission should be against the law.

T-Mobile has been billing my account $12.99 for a service called T-MobileTV - I NEVER signed up for this service and just found out via a text message that was sent to my phone directly from a username "1504" saying that if I don't 'opt-out', that I will be billed for an additional 33 months at $12.99 per month. The SMS contained a bit.ly shortened link that looked like spam. I have since contacted the company and after a struggle, they've agreed to refund the entire amount - which it seems started in April of 2015. I am DISGUSTED with this service and their deplorable business tactics. Please look into this for other customers who are being robbed.

I switched carriers from T-Mobile. I had $75.00 in my account before I changed carriers. I requested that they submit to me a refund. The Manager from T-Mobile said that they would not issue me a refund and my money was just gone. I request that before you switch carriers with another cell phone provider that you check your balance before you switch and have them send you a refund. I stayed on the telephone with 5 different reps before they told me that they were not going to give me a refund, even though they could see that I had money in my account. Very, Very, poor customer service.

We had went for dinner Friday night and went to pay with my debit card and it was declined, knowing that was impossible - we came home to check our bank account to find that somehow someone made two purchases using my card information. When I told the customer service representative what our bank had said, she said I'm really sorry to hear this but there's nothing I can do to assist. She then said, let me ask my supervisor if he knows something more than myself. I tried to remain calm asking for information as to how this happened allowing an $1800 purchase without seeing an ID or something else proving that the person is me (as they never had possession of my card).
What I'm getting at is this: even though I am the victim, this company wouldn't tell us "how" this happened, they wouldn't tell us "where - which store" this happened at, they wouldn't tell us "what" this thief purchased. They made me feel as though they were protecting the thief and treated me as if I had done something wrong. I would NEVER become a customer now that they were more willing to protect the thief than to provide me or our bank with valuable information. The only thing that they would help with is verify to our bank that we definitely weren't past or current customers. This company needs to put theirselves in our shoes and realize they could have been heroes but instead became big zeros in our book.

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

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

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

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

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

Service is horrible. Drops phone calls, cant pay bill with my debt. It drops phone calls all the time and my husband is a truck driver and it's important for him to have a good working phone. Your company wouldn't accept my debit card because I couldn’t answer questions about my area that I just moved to and pretty much told me I was trying to steal someone’s card. I am handicapped and I don’t drive so my debit card is my only way to pay my bill. So you have lost two customers.

My husband and I have been customers with T-mobile for a year and a month. During our service with this company we have had nothing but issues with service, our account being hacked, viruses. Well you can say we have had a great big headache with these people. After our year of being with them they would not let us upgrade our phones even though we paid them 10 a month for a whole year to be able to upgrade at anytime. They wanted us to pay a $500 dollar copay to be able to get new phones all because we were late 4 days on our payment at the beginning of the year.
I will never ever go back to that company. They are scams and the worst worst cell phone company out there in general. They had us on the phone for an hour transferring us to different representatives and none of them wanted to help us out or did anything for us but give us a huge headache. We will not deal with this company ever again. Now we are in the process of switching to another company that does care about their customers satisfaction... whatever happened to the customer is always right! The way this company is ran is so **! So hopefully this will help you change your minds about getting with this... I don't even know what to call it... maybe I should call it ** on your customers?

I recently switched to T-Mobile thinking they were going to pay off my phone devices. I shipped all three of my AT&T phones into T-Mobile. I receive a credit in the amount of $391.87, towards my T-Mobile phone bill, Great! I was informed to upload my recent bill on to Switch2Tmobile, done. First time I was denied, the lady informed me to highlight the payoff amount, done. Submitted a second time, denied again. Called customer service, was transferred three times. No one understood what I was talking about. Finally after the last transferred and me screaming on the phone, someone understood me. He explained T-Mobile DOES NOT pay off phone installments. To make a long story short, I am now STUCK with a $938.67 bill from AT&T including a monthly bill from T-Mobile. Please don't listen to their buyout commercial.

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

Today I tried to call and got a woman who after 10 minutes told me I needed to talk to terms and conditions, she would be glad to transfer me. Another woman got on the phone and asked me all of the same information and after I gave it to her she asked why I called, I told her to change my expiration date. She took the information and said she needed to send me again to terms and conditions and after I listened to press 1 and it would be confirmed. She transferred me and I got a guy on the phone who asked for the same information and said he would send me to a supervisor to make the change. I told him I'd been on the phone a half an hour just to change an expiration date and it would be quicker to go to AT&T and change service carriers and then I hung up. I've been with them 10 years.

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

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

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

I have been paying $10 a month insurance for 3 years. Because they no longer make my Samsung Galaxy phone, they offered me a no-name brand "equivalent" phone, which I refused. So, my only other option was to purchase a new phone worth only 1/3 of what I originally paid for my phone, and it wasn't even a Galaxy (which is why it was so cheap). Why was I even paying insurance? It would make sense if I paid the deductible and got a current Samsung Galaxy, but nope. I've decided to just cancel my insurance and will not accept shipment of the new phone. I'll just keep mine until it completely dies, and then buy one from Craigslist or Woot. I'm in search of another carrier too. I haven't had the best customer service in-store either. Not happy.

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

I ask for the replacement of my old iPhone 5S because of some issues on the earpiece. I couldn't hear someone when I receive or accept calls. When they got the phone they said it has physical damage to it. They show a crack on the upper screen and few dots that it seems like they did it on purpose. And my bill came up and they charged me $250 dollars. I told them to bring me back my old phone instead and I will return the one new phone that they sent me, but unfortunately they said they can't return the old device once they got it. I would recommend to everyone that has the same issue like me to take a picture of your phone before you send it back. So you can avoid the same issue that happened to me.

I received a bill in December and that showed $32.50 for my phone so I called and spoke to a customer service representative and was told that I would have to pay the entire amount as it was the 1st bill and I would be credited $17.50 in the next bill but the next bill also reflected the same amount of $32.50 so I called back again and spoke to a representative and was told that my credit would actually be only $9 and I spoke to a manager Ms. ** and she said that she will speak with the promotional team and kept me on hold.
Later she came back and informed me that she confirmed with the promotional team that I was to be charged only $15 for my phone and to subtract $17.50 each for both December and January and pay the rest of the amount. Today I got a text that my account is past due and I need to pay $35.

For months and months I was not getting good service from T-Mobile. My calls were dropped constantly. I wasn't receiving voicemails or text messages when they were sent, I would receive them in bundles every 6 hours or so. I probably called T-Mobile customer care about 20 times and they all have the solution to my problem, which never worked and was always wrong. My cell phone is my only line of communication to the outside world, so it's of extreme importance that I be able to use my phone.
In my case, I have a dangerous stalker that is relentless & every time he gets out of jail he comes here to harass me and try to get to me. I was not able to call police when this was occurring because my cell phone service wasn't working. To make a long story short, I went into the umpteenth T-Mobile store to try and solve my service issues and the representative at the store told me that a lot of people were having trouble with the Galaxy S6 Edge and that I should get a different phone. I took his advice and got a Note 5. The situation didn't get any better even after I paid for a cell spot which is basically a cell tower in your home.
A couple months later, the service issues were resolved by a customer service rep in Missouri. Not too much later, I notice that I was getting charged every month for two phones. When I went in there that day I only got a different phone because I was getting crap service. I gave them my other phone. The store employee would not stop flirting with me & taking pics of me so it is obvious to me that the store employee was just trying to get a date with me and tell me whatever I wanted to hear in order to do that. When I revealed later that I had a boyfriend, his whole attitude and service changed .
I was tricked and lied to and no matter how many people at T-Mobile that I tried to tell they argue with me and don't want to help me and I feel so helpless at this point I don't know what to do. I am a person who has mental illnesses and I struggle with major depressive disorder, a generalized anxiety disorder, post traumatic stress disorder, and avoidant personality disorder.

I was a T-Mobile customer for 9 years and I got screwed over big time. I was charged $400 for a phone that did not have any physical damage, I just had issues with missing messages. Don't know where they went but people would send me messages and I would not get them. The guy who inspected my phone at T-Mobile said that my phone was under warranty and that I only had to pay a $5 processing fee. After a month, I received a letter saying that I need to pay $400 because my charger port was messed up (Totally unrelated to my problem). I called customer service to get this fixed because it was not fair that they send me this letter when I was told, with proof, papers stating that I will not pay anything except $5 for the warranty exchange processing.
When I called customer service, nobody was really willing to listen to my problem and kept saying "we cannot do anything about it, you will have to pay the 400"... If I knew that I had to pay $400, I would have never sent my phone (which wasn't completely defective, I just had trouble with messaging). I don't even believe my charger port was damaged because I never had problems charging, but for them to charge me 400 for that is just ridiculous. My bill for this month was $660. This company is just horrible, horrible and I recommend choosing some other company which won't take your money.

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

So all my 4 lines had 6 gig of data until 1/20. On 1/20, T-Mobile reset my cycle back to 1/8 - 2/7 meaning that the data we used between 1/8 and 1/20 was counted against my 4 lines twice.

If this apartment manager can't locate the phone, or if the resident in our previous apartment accepted the package and has the phone but won't cop to it, T-Mobile won't get their phone back - and I'm going to eat the cost of it (about $800 on top of the cost of another phone).

The pre-paid envelopes did not have a tracking number and there is no way to find where the package was last.

If they remain unable to help find my phone, I will be out of pocket $324.96. I was provided with an RMA number by T-Mobile which was present on the packaging, however, there is no way for USPS to see if it is a mistake on their end. Assurant Solutions (who T-Mobile uses for insurance) has also refused to help me file a claim. Where is my phone, T-Mobile? Did the post office lose it or someone steal it? Was it missed being scanned in the warehouse or did an employee steal it? Surely there is a way to track the phone's IMEI number outside the warehouse if the phone WAS stolen and currently in use.

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

A couple of days passed and I went back to see him and told him I did not want the unlimited. This would only reduce my bill by $15.00.
When I went back to pay it the full charge of $172 was due according to him because they forward dated it instead of back dated. And if they backdated it I would be subject to double charges.

I called T-Mobile billing to ask why am I receiving a bill, when their charges are usually for the month in advance. The guy on the phone stated that there was an error in the bill and that I owed a month. I told the guy that if my billing cycle begins on the 4th and it's advance payment, then I should have been covered till the 4th of January and technically they owe me money. I kept asking the guy "don't T-Mobile charge for the month in advance." Response to that was YES. So how the hell do I owe T-Mobile money when I cancelled my service with them before the next billing cycle.

In October I purchased a Samsung Galaxy 5 and a Samsung tablet and for the promotion I was supposed to receive a 100 dollar gift card. After calling several times I finally was assured I qualified for the card. Then I was told the card was being shipped by a sales rep named Genes and it would take 2 to 3 days to arrive. Then on the third day Mr. Genes called and said the card was lost so they was going to credit my bill 100 dollars. I do not think this was fair being when I brought the devices I was told for buying the devices I would receive the 100 dollar gift card but instead they tried to act like I didn't buy the devices then found out I did, then promised me the card and then they turned around and credited my account. I will not buy anything else from them during a promotion. They did not honor their promotion.

I then contacted T-Mobile who told me the first charge was declined so that amount would stay on my account. I noticed the next day that the new charge was no longer pending. Then when it came time for my bill I noticed it was high.
I called in and they said that I never paid for the phone. I then proceeded to tell them that I have a charge on my bank account for the amount. They asked me to provide my bank statements. I provided my bank statements in which they said they would send it to their people over billing. They told me I would receive a text message with the decision. That also the account will be held until the decision will be made. I never received any notification until I got a text saying my bill was past due and that I had to make a payment or service would be interrupted. I called in and they notified me it was denied.

When I signed up for T-Mobile in October I was told my monthly bill would be about $70 month. Each month since then I've been billed between $25 and $33 more. Nowhere on the statements has it ever shown a credit for the phone I turned in, an IPhone 5C. I have had to call and complain and negotiate to get a credit but these credits are vaguely based -- I think just on my dissatisfaction and threats to leave T-Mobile. Today I was told my real monthly bill would be $92 and change. The monthly charge for the phone is $27 -- when I signed up I was told it would be $15 for 24 months. I am disgusted with their lack of clarity and integrity. Their employees say one thing and bill another.

My IPhone 6s quit working suddenly on Labor Day 2015. I went to T-Mobile and let them know the refurbished phone the issuance company sent me had quit working and the representative on duty did a few tests on it and decided it would be covered under my warranty. He informed me that I would be charged $5 on my phone bill and that T-Mobile would be sending me a new phone in a prepaid box and to mail it back in that box. We took the phone to the post office and my boyfriend paid the fee for the phone to be shipped out that day.
Fast forward a few weeks and I start receiving texts messages they haven't received my phone, so I called T-Mobile in a frantic letting them know we did send the phone back and the woman does a handset research on it and tells me not to search for my tracking number and says I should receive an email within 72 hours with the outcome.
I never received an email, I had several phone calls back and forth with T-Mobile saying they were looking for the phone. I finally got some relief (or so I thought) from a woman named Joan, she assured me that they had found my phone and that it was at UPS ground and I would NOT be charged for the phone. I thanked her and ended the call. In December the phone was charged to our bill. I called in and let the rep know what was going on and he told me sorry they don't have the phone (rudely) and I asked to speak to the supervisor at which point the rep told me I would be wasting more of my time.
The rep and the supervisor told me there was no such phone call between Joan and I, he finally found it after I insisted. He then tells me I still owe money for the phone. I no longer have my tracking number to track the phone. If Joan would have never have told me they found my phone I could have pulled the record at the post office, the post master's assistant told me they keep records for 45 days and at the point it was too late.

I recently made a decision to purchase new phones. At the time I considered switching from TMobile to another carrier who offered a $300 trade in value for my phone even though it was an old phone. TMobile happened to have a "Best Trade-In Value Promotion" which guaranteed that they would match the competitive offer and provide a "$50" additional. I completed the on-line form, went to the TMobile store and they told me to call in the number. After upgrading the phone, I called TMobile about the credit, only to find out that this offer was excluded because it was considered a "PROMOTIONAL" offer. Aren't all sales and trade-in offers promotional? This of course is not listed in the questions and answers on the program. Only listed in SMALL PRINT at the end of the process. What would not be CONSIDERED PROMOTIONAL. This is a blatant case of FALSE ADVERTISING!!!

Service is spotty. Was signed up for monthly service. They took payment out a day early and we wanted to cancel service. They say "sorry, payment was made and we give no refunds" and then wanted to hang up on me. This is after being transferred 4 times. Now I am talking to the payment supervisor who says "too bad I am not refunding your money." They took payment out a day early and changed the due date while I was on the phone with the 2nd person to the previous day. She now says "well, it was due today and we took payment and we have no refund policy. So sorry you are not happy. Goodbye." I am yelling at her to keep the service on for the next month as they took payment and she says "well, I will have to transfer you to customer service as I deactivated service." After chewing her out she says "ok you have service till the next month."
TERRIBLE customer service and does not refund even if they cancel your service. She was going to shut my phone down after charging my account today for the next month and not give me any money back. THAT IS THEIR POLICY. Awful policy. Never go with a company with a policy like that!!! Verizon has always refunded when we cancelled service on a phone as you are charged a month ahead and they ALWAYS HAVE PRORATED IT AND REFUNDED. We are now going to AT&T due to our area coverage and we will see how they are.

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

I told them that was not fair and that could go on one's credit. Got no comment about that.

Switched to Sprint at the end of July, 2015. Received 4 prepaid American Express cards from Sprint in late September to pay off the balance owed for 4 phones, 1 for $149, 1 for $207, and 2 for $243. October 17th, went to T-Mobile Store 7705 to pay off the phones and the $299 usage fee. Clerk swiped 1 card. I signed the terminal. Clerk swiped 2nd card. I signed the terminal. 3rd card swiped and the system locked up. I was told the money would be put back on the cards within 24 hours and was given the 800 number to call. I waited until Oct. 26th to call. Only 1 card, the unswiped one, had a balance. The others were declined with a zero balance. I was told I had to go back to the Store 7705 to retrieve the payments from the terminal. I drove up there and they could not help me, so they said. They tried swiping the cards again, but no luck.
I then called T-Mobile again, but they said I would just have to get new cards from Sprint. There is no way I could go back to Sprint and say, "Sorry, T-Mobile lost your money. Can I have more?" I then went to the Sprint store and asked them what to do. They went to the American Express website, entered in the info for each card, and found that they had indeed been processed at T-Mobile Store 7705 on Oct. 17th and payment had been posted to their account on the 19th. Sprint printed this info out for me and I took it back to T-Mobile. They said there was nothing they could do and I would have to call the 800 number.

I have made numerous phone calls to T-Mobile, numerous trips to the mall where the T-Mobile store is located, numerous faxes of all of the paperwork I have, including the papers showing that they did in fact receive payment, and have done countless time doing their investigation for them. They have received copies of all paperwork.
Now, they have sent me to Collections. I contacted the collection agency the same night I received the letter from them and have put the account in dispute. I also called T-Mobile. Had to call 3 times because I was hung up on the first 2 times. They want the money for the phones, but also $300 for the month of usage for July.

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

I had to call again and explain the situation to the lady at "behind the scenes" and she took care of it. My account is SUPPOSEDLY back to $0 and I don't owe anything... We'll see if they get it right this time! I WILL NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER USE T-MOBILE AGAIN!!! Stay away from this cell phone company or any products they offer! They will swindle you out of anything they can!!!

The event occurred in the following sequence: 1) I got a bill from T-Mobile of an amount of $169 which included $75.62 charge for calling a number of India that I didn't call using T-Mobile. I already got Vonage at my home. I never call using T-Mobile. 2) I called T-Mobile to let them know that I haven't called that number. They told that call is tagged to my sim card and I have to pay that. 3) They applied 25% off on bill and I agreed to pay over phone with my credit card. 4) I gave all the credit card details over phone and they told that transaction was declined and was not complete. 5) Now when I am checking in my credit card statement the payment has been applied twice although they said payment was not complete.
When I called T-Mobile they were specifically very rude and today I called my credit card bank, they told that the payment request came from T-Mobile and it has been applied twice. I want to lodge a complaint to T-Mobile for the fraudulence they did with me and I want them to pay for the harassment I am facing. I don't want to pay for the call to India that I never did. I want an explanation for credit card activity T-Mobile did as it was deducted twice from my account although they told that the transaction was not complete even. I want refund of the total amount they deducted twice so that I can settle my credit card statement as soon as possible. I want T-Mobile to pay for the harassment I am having for the fraudulence they did.

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

On December 12, 2015 I went to T-Mobile location in Denver Colorado because I had a problem with my phone of only a year and half old. The management told me that I needed to upgrade my phone to fix it so I believe them. And when I got the new phone I still had an issue similar to what my old phone was having so I called T-Mobile IT department and they said all they would've had to do was call them and they would help fix the problem with my old phone and that I did not need upgrade. So when I found this out five days roughly I try to get them to help me out.
I didn't need to spend all this money on a new phone. Can you help me. And no one would help me a call T-Mobile. Went to a couple T-Mobile stores, T-Mobile's toll call the store supposedly where I bought the phone and he says that I knew exactly what I was doing. I did not. I was at their mercy. I was believing them that this is what I needed to do and I was upset because my phone was only a year and a half old and I like that phone otherwise all I wanted them to do was either give me another phone up that's comparable to my old one or credit me. I have been with T-Mobile for years. My whole family is! When I get a chance after I get new phone paid off I'm going to leave them.

NEVER, EVER make the mistake of selecting T-Mobile as your cellphone service provider. It will honestly be nothing but a HUGE MISTAKE. Their coverage has been despicable, their customer service representatives were hugely uninformed and have provided inconsistent information to me numerous times, and the experience overall has been nothing but a huge waste of my time and money. My husband and I have only had the service for 2 months and have not been able to get reception inside buildings (in what day and age???), experienced numerous dropped calls on almost a daily basis, traded in phones to receive a credit which -- lo and behold -- we are now not receiving, and numerous other issues. And should I mention that we live just outside of Washington, DC -- not exactly an "unpopulated" area. Stay clear of T-Mobile. We switched from AT&T to T-Mobile and have regretted it every single day.

I recently purchased a T-MOBILE Hotspot device and purchased the 7 GB plan to be used over 30 days; within 24 hours I noticed my internet had slowed down and was almost inoperable. I called over a course of a week to try and get an understanding of why this was happening. I was never able to speak with anyone in technical or customer service that truly understood my concern. I was always given general responses that it must be video streaming, etc using up my data. I then opted for Binge On the following month in order to reduce my data usage and be able to watch videos on HULU and Netflix, well the exact same thing happened after only watching two TV episodes on Hulu; I still have not received a resolution to this problem.
I have also tried to sign up for a "connect me" account in which I am able to view plan information, etc. and I have not been able to sign up due to "technical errors"; I inquired about this issue and was told it would be resolved by a specialty technician; that was done on December 7th and as of today December 15th, I still can't login nor have I received a follow-up. The terms of the Binge On and data usage are obviously not being clearly stated and there must be some hidden charges or usage that customers are not aware. Here I am only one week into my refill and I can't even use my Network subscriptions because T-Mobile has reduced my services; again this was the purpose of Binge On which I am not able to utilize. This is false advertisement and misleading.

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

After a month someone called me from Convergys and told me that I owe $88 to T-Mobile, stating that my billing cycle is starting from 6th of every month which I did not know because I started using it at 13th of August. I just used T-Mobile for 31 days and T-Mobile is charging me $168 in total with their bad coverage and terrible signal quality. I left T-Mobile due to their greedy billing system and bad coverage but T-Mobile does not want to leave me.

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

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

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

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

On Aug. 31, 2015, I walked into T-Mobile to buy a new phone (as an existing member for 10+ years). I walked out with 3 new devices and a JUMP on Demand contract. I did this knowing I would be eligible for the best deal on the upcoming iPhone 6s Plus in September. On September 25, I received my new iPhone 6s Plus in the mail, with step-by-step instructions on how to return my 'old' iPhone 6+. It explicitly stated I had to MAIL in my old device using ONLY the USPS label and packaging provided. It provided no tracking of any kind and stated that the return may become void if any other mail label or carrier is used.
I called T-Mobile customer service and asked if could return the phone to a T-Mobile store, (why not?). I was told "absolutely not, you must mail it to Assurant Solutions per the instructions in the package. Don't worry it will be fine. We will be able to track it even if it is lost." I mailed my return phone and carefully checked the instructions/checklist 3 times on SEPTEMBER 27.
It is now DECEMBER 1st! I have called T-Mobile at least 10 times and attempted to use their various Chat, T-Force, social media accounts, and support forums NUMEROUS times. Any online-based contact with the company has been like a big "** you. We cannot deal with that issue here. We cannot help you with your request, etc." All phone contacts have been the same. After 20 minutes on hold, I am told there is no way to track my returned phone, just keep waiting and see what happens. WHAT!? They can't tell me whether or not they received my phone, or someone stole it, or it's sitting in the back of a warehouse in BFE yet they can continue to bill me for TWO phones for an indefinite period of time?

Why couldn't I have used my own USPS label with a tracking number in order to know exactly where it is at all times?

But meanwhile the phone not functioning the way it should they were still racking up on international charges to my account. T-mobile have sale promos but if you are shopping and looking for a good product and service then don't come here, it will only be a waste of time and money.

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

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

Was completely lied to regarding plan I was sold by telesales team. Tried resolving issue 4 times. Speaking for at least 45 minutes each time with several customer service supervisors. They are trained to be extremely polite but are completely entry level phone answering people who are incapable of anything more than stating a polite greeting. All they do is pass you around. No one can help and waste your time. They have no value for their customers' time or wallet. Coverage is horrible on top of.

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

I have never had T-Mobile service or products. In August 2015, I noticed a payment made to T-Mobile. I am on a Federal Identity/Credit card fraud list. I contacted T-Mobile and they could see the payment but that I had no account. The charge was for a tablet and 1-year service which was never delivered or ordered. I requested my credit information be immediately removed from the database and a refund check. Also, I wanted a call back from the Legal/Fraud Dept. A rep from the Loss Prevention Dept/T-Mobile called back stating my personal information was being removed immediately and they were sending me a check for the $272.00 plus $200.00 for any inconvenience. No check ever received.
When I called T-Mobile back at the Columbus Ohio phone number, no one ever heard of the person or Loss Prevention Dept. I have now filed suit against T-Mobile and sent discovery requests. A paralegal called and was sent a copy of the bank payment. She was rude and stated that I should have called my bank and not T-Mobile. She stated that T-Mobile would be issuing a refund on my credit card. How, if they removed all credit card information as stated in August 2015.
I requested this rude lady to never call back but have her attorney call me. As of 11-29-2015 no payment or further calls. Waiting for responses to discovery documents. Anticipate a motion to compel answers for discovery before meeting them in Court. What a terrible waste of time. T-Mobile Corporate was served through their agent Corporation Services Company. They appear to think they are above the law. There are consequences for such actions.

We chose T-Mobile because of their family plan and the fact that the service map showed they had excellent service where we live. When we got the plan, no service, at all at our home. We were charged for a line that we cancelled the same day we got it and were told they would take the charges off. Never did. The family plan was only beneficial for cost if we were able to use it with the whole family, which we could not because of no service. When I cancelled the plan and paid the last bill, 3 days late, it was sent to a collections agency and when I called the agency they said they did not have the account anymore since I had paid and that there was some delay in processing.

I now realize how bad their actual phone service is and I've tried everything they can offer to help: increased data, installed WiFi booster at home, etc. I pay $95/month (including my iPhone 6) and I just do not get coverage in my area even when they say I have good coverage. Multiple times it shows my text go through on my end and it never actually reaches the person which is really annoying. I constantly lose coverage in rural areas which makes for a frustrating day. All and all after calling Verizon, which everyone seems to have no problems with coverage, they offered me a deal equivalent to my plan at T-Mobile for $20-30 less than what I was paying.

Later on I saw bill more than 550 dollars???
I contacted the rep again and rep said "Ohhhh Iast one mislead you. You can not call from Canada to 3rd country." Fair enough I thought and he said he will take care of the bill this time. I was confused. I again called 3rd rep and asked him why I can't call 3rd country I have 2 extra plans I am paying 10+15 dollars extra for North America plan and international calling. 3rd rep said "2nd rep was wrong you can call to 80 countries from Canada." 'What the heck?" I said and made calls. Bill was not adjusted as per 2nd rep still got the same bill $543 more. I called the customer service 4th time and now she said you should be good to call from Canada to 3rd country because you have a plans. I said please put a note in your section. I saw no change in bill I was getting hit.
Then I again called 5th customer rep and inquired, "Why are you guys are not trained to what to tell to the customer. I am not going to pay this crap???" She said they are looking into this matter and will adjust the bill and will contact me shortly but in the mean time I can keep on calling from Canada to 3rd country or use WIFI call of no charge to call 3rd country. I didn't saw any change in the bill by Nov 18 so I called 6th rep. She said you should be good to call from Canada to 3rd country. You will receive the call from rep soon.
Finally, i got a call from T-Mobile Manager Nov 19th saying, "Oh no you were given wrong information first time but 2nd time we told you it will be 1.99 dollars per min if you call 3rd country from Canada." I was shocked listening to that and told her what about 6 other reps who told me "keep calling 2nd rep was wrong who told me not to call". Then she told me that I still owe around 1200 dollars which I will have to pay or else she will send this to collection agency then I said I do not want your coverage and she said, "Do you want me to cancel your service right away???"

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

My monthly bill is well over $20 a month more than what I was promised by the sales rep. I only switched to T-Mobile cut back cost of my cell phone bill, which didn't work. Also, the service is genuinely terrible. I have much less coverage than I did before, and the 3G is basically comparable to not having any extra data. So much for the "unlimited" data pitch I was sold when I signed up.

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

T-Mobile is truly one of the most horrible companies in business today. They're basically thieves. You'll pay for a service that isn't provided. You'll pay, only to find that your texts don't get send, texts don't get received, and almost nothing about T-Mobile seems to work. There should be a class action lawsuit filed against T-Mobile. It's hard to believe they're still in business. I'm losing T-Mobile tomorrow. I can't wait. This is truly one of the worst companies in the world.

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

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

Nothing was wrong with my camera so I talked to different people and they didn't give a damn so I asked them why will I pay a 400 out of warranty fee and I could've paid an insurance deductible for 175 and got a brand new phone. Then they offered to change my bill to 175. Hell no. Y'all send me my phone back and they said they couldn't.

The phone would not hold a charge and was overheating. I called T-Mobile and was told that I have purchase the same phone again then send the defective phone back to them and wait 7 to 10 business days before I will receive a refund on the defective device. Which I feel is not right, being that before I could even receive the phone I had to pay for it upfront not wait until I receive the phone then pay T-Mobile 7 to 10 business days later.

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

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

I only went with T mobile because they offered wifi calling which I need because I cannot get reception in my building. The phone worked ok and met my needs. Then 10/29/15 came. On that day I had finished paying for the phone and now just have to pay for the plan. Well suspiciously starting on that day I started having problems. Suddenly the phone would not hold a charge.

He agreed after looking at my usage that I have always had a low data usage. He called T mobile, talked to them... the final answer it was used up because my apps updated.
I said I know they have updated in the last two years. That happens automatically. He said, "Don't update the apps anymore." I then said, "Ok. Then why is the battery suddenly depleting so quickly?" I started at noon with a 100 percent battery and by 130 it was half used and I hadn't used the phone. His reply was that the phone are not made to last, get a new phone.

How can it legal to reactivate an account in someone's name that has passed away? This family member then removed me from authorization, entered a password on the account and changed the billing address? And the account is continuously past due which goes under my father's name.

Why LIE if you're not going to honor the offers that's being made. This is what you get with BAD customer service. T-mobile really need to train their CSR on how to give good service. I spoke with 4 different customer representative (Daniel, Raven, Gracie and Walker) all today and was lied to by all of them. I'm really unhappy with T-Mobile now and will be out or on the internet looking for me a new cellphone company. This really ridiculous, poor customer service!!!

I absolutely HATE T-Mobile. On October 14, 2015 my sister moved to another state so she went on her own acct. We notice that the EIP never got transfer over. I've been calling in since that day asking for it to be remove. Nov. 1st I called back in & spent 2 hours on the phone being bounce around. Final they told me the EIP couldn't get transfer over because it could only be done 1 time. During the weeks I spent on the phone no one could have told me that. Only thing I was told that they do apologize but there were nothing that could be done. THANKS T-MOBILE.

T-mobile charged me a month's charge after I discontinued service with them! Really, you're gonna charge me for a service I'M NOT EVEN USING! The reason we changed was because we had to stand in our bedroom to even talk to them. Standing in the bedroom never guaranteed dropped calls, though. We ended up jumping onto a family plan, saving us $65 a month. Now that will be going to T-mobile for service WE'RE NOT EVEN USING!
I'll NEVER go with T-mobile again! Looks like this is a pretty strong theme here on this website! I spoke with customer service and the manager. Both said the charge will not be removed because it's in their terms and conditions and I was told I should've read them before signing them. Wow, great customer service there! I wasn't disputing the charges I used, just the EXTRA full month of service you charged me. How do I get this removed? I plan to pay what I used.

Was paying 161.00/month for a phone and tablet with unlimited data text voice. I went to a local T-Mobile site to switch my mom over from her verizon to my T-Mobile account. They said it would only cost me an extra 10 bucks a month to add her using her existing phone number. While I was there they said her Verizon phone Motorola droid is too old and their sim card will not work so I ended up financing a new phone which was an additional 3.50/month. While they were looking at my account they informed me how they can save me 50 bucks a month by removing unlimited data and get 10 gigs instead. I thought this was great and went through with it.
When all set in done, I asked what my recurring payment would be and they said 137.35. Just received my first bill with the new plan change and added phone and my payment is now 195.00/month. When I called T-Mobile they said the plan I changed to is 100 bucks per phone line then you get a 20 credit. So I lost unlimited data and paying an extra 34 bucks for adding a line. What happened with saving me money? I never wanted to change my plan in the first place!!! WHAT T-MOBILE EMPLOYEES ARE DOING TO GET THEIR COMMISSIONS?

I went into the T-Mobile Premium Retailer on 1201 E. Valley Parkway Ste C, Escondido, CA 92027 (760) 747-1033 on 9/28/15 at 14:33pm to acquire a mobile plan that we could use while in Europe for 3 weeks. My husband and I specifically told the sales representative that we would be in Spain, France, Italy, Greece, Turkey and Germany and we needed cell/text service in these countries. We asked which plan would he recommend so that we wouldn't have roaming fees. He recommended a $50 plan that he confirmed would work while we were away. He showed us the cell sites in the different European countries to prove that the phone would have service there. While in Europe the phone did not work at all. When we came back and I tried to resolve the issue with the store manager, **, after three tries and a couple messages with no response back, I called customer care.
I was hung on twice and had to talk to two people (**), someone called ** and then ** before I spoke to the final manager of the customer care department that said that he would not refund all of my $50. His response to me was that the "North American plan" that was given to me should have worked if I would have put more money in the account and then I just would have had roaming fees to pay. His solution was to offer me $25 back. I told him I wanted to be reimbursed for the entire $50 due to the fact that I was sold something that I did not ask for under the assumption that the sales representative was telling me the truth, which in fact he did not. It was a total misrepresentation of the facts and should be remedied by T-Mobile thus providing me with a full $50 refund.

I had been with T-Mobile for a few years. But as time went on they were losing most of their towers, service got really bad, and a lot of constant dropped calls, and bills showing up AFTER you get a text that your bill is due. So I decided to go with another company, and called them to cancel my service (my contract had long expired), and asked them to put everything into a final bill and mail it to me. They instead wrapped it all up, and sent it to a collection agency with EXTREMELY high interest rates without even giving me a chance to pay the bill. I will NEVER recommend this company to anyone. You cancel their service, and they will find a way to screw you over.

I called T-Mobile prior to 10/10 & advised the rep that I was going to be switching to Verizon but had already received my bill covering services thru 10/24 & was advised that I should disregard it & wait for a final, adjusted bill. After waiting a reasonable amount of time I prorated the $134.90 to cover the time I had T-Mobile from 09/25-10/10/15 & I sent in a check for $72.00 on 10/21/2015. On 10/29/15 I received a letter from T-Mobile stating I still owed the full $134.90 & to please "mail payment today for the amount due to prevent collection activity on your account."
Well, I called them again today, 10/30/15, & got a completely different story, that they do not pro-rate their charges & that I still owed them a balance of $62.87. They were not empathetic in the least & sounded as if they were reading from a script in demanding their money. Why should I have to pay for part of a billing cycle when I no longer had their services? In reality, I was paying both T-Mobile & Verizon, starting on 10/10/15. They never explained to me that they never prorate any of their services & charge you for the entire billing cycle whether you use it or not & how convenient that they charge you for future services.

Due to the fact that people usually post reviews, usually negative, to complain about an issue they are facing, I wanted to take the opportunity to write something positive. After being with T-Mobile since 1999, I must say that I am really happy being a T-Mobile customer. Especially so since I just heard a rumor that they plan to offer Netflix service in such a way that it will not eat up my data! This is very very important for me because my 7 y/o son is always on Netflix.
T-mobile is great because I travel overseas a lot, so free international roaming is excellent as my bill/roaming charges on return used to be several hundred dollars. Also, I live in New York so there are less issues with coverage for me. Some folks complain about coverage, but for me it's really simple. I can pay a lot more money for VZW or AT&T etc and get super awesome coverage, but I am rarely anywhere that's not covered for any extended period that would justify paying more every month. I believe T-Mobile makes good sense if you have a limited budget and want to get more bang for your buck.

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

Based on T-Mobile website info, I was led to believe that I could get International Roaming for a recent trip to Italy. I brought in an unlocked Apple iPhone & spoke with a local agent about getting International roaming for a recent trip to Italy. I only needed the service for 1 Month.

Upon returning to the US, I rechecked online FAQ (info is hidden unless opened) and learned that NOT all Simple Choice plans include global coverage. Pay-in-advance & Simple choice No Credit are EXCLUDED. I went to the store & the salesman told me he was unaware of the information on the website. Also, he could NOT refund my $50-only apply as a credit on activating a regular account with T-Mobile that could include International Roaming.

Each time we were told that it had been fixed. Despite this another notice would arrive.
We then got another notice saying we had to pay or this would be placed in collections. We called a 5th time - we invited we be transferred to billing.

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

When you get angry and get pissed off and start to complaint to them, they say their phone connection is breaking down and just hang up. What a dirty ugly mind liars! These are not customer service representatives but ugly dirty mind liars.

I went to T-Mobile about 6 months ago after seeing the ads on TV about their reimbursement deal. I was told that they would reimburse me for the $900 I still owed for my two phones from AT&T. I gave them my two iPhone 6's and left thinking there would be no trouble. Little did I know 6 months later and numerous calls I would be screwed out of almost $400. I have just received my so called "reimbursement" for $500 of the $900 I owe to AT&T. Now I'm stuck paying my monthly bill to T-Mobile and now $400 to AT&T. The customer service is awful and unsympathetic to someone who was screwed out of $400. The ads for the deal said they would cover up to $650 per phone and I was given $250 for each. I will be switching to a different phone company as soon as I'm able to pay off my AT&T balance.

We switched from AT&T to T-Mobile and ordered a 64gb iPhone 6s plus and paid additional $100 for each phone. When I received the phones yesterday, which I waited for weeks, I got a 16gb instead of a 64gb. So I went to a T-Mobile store and told them the issue. Now, they called T-Mobile office and they forwarded my concern. After almost an hour, they told me they will send a new one instead. When they're going to activate my phone, it says there that the sim is not valid even if they tried several T-Mobile sims. So they called the office again just to find out that it's not a T-Mobile phone but was a SPRINT phone!!! We've waited for hours just to find out that they messed up.
The guy from the store advised us to call T-Mobile to forward my complaint. I dialed their number and waited for how many minutes. And finally, I was able to speak to someone. And when I started complaining, she just dropped the call. I called again, and this time I'm really pissed off. And finally someone answered again, and now he told me that they gonna give me a return label to send the phone back, and that they will give me $30 discount for the phone. With all due respect TMOBILE, I appreciate the gesture. But I don't think that, that's the kind of service that we deserve. I guess, not only that you're cheaper in terms of price, but even in quality and service. You have this ditch and switch. Well now, I'm planning to ditch you!
