Called T-Mobile because I heard such wonderful things, but now I can see it was all smoke and mirrors. I set up what I thought was a great plan and was told the phones would be in mail that week. After 5 days I called to ask when our phones would be shipped, I was told that my new account was canceled. When I asked why it was cancelled, they said that it was a glitch in their system. They said to go to a T-Mobile store with a reference number of which they gave me in order to reorder. 2 hours later I was in the store, and after an hour of trying to figure out my account number since the store and the online do not have the same computer, I found out that my account was not canceled. I was told that I was going to get the phones on Monday Nov 18.
Today, on Wednesday November 20th I called the same store that helped me days before, and they told me that yes they can help me and to come on in. When I got to the store the same woman I talked to on phone said she can't pull up my account and there was nothing she can do. She tried to get me to set up a brand new account to run my credit again and I said no thank you.
I went into the car and I called customer service again of which after an hour conversation three times being told that my account is fine and three times being told my account was canceled and even one time I was told that the phones were still on their way (all in one call). Finally by the end they said no there was a back door that was canceled for whatever reason, and because of all the issues I was having if I was still willing to go with them they would take the startup $20 fee off of each phone. They told me to go to a specific T-Mobile store of which they were sending all the information to.
When I got there they had no idea what I was talking about, they couldn't find my account number and when they called customer service from store they said that there was no way that I would be able to have that $20 fee per phone waived. I tried to call customer service again about it and found out that they have canceled all my information. This has been a headache for sure and I'm not really sure what the managers are doing about this kind of horrible customer service. So buyer beware!

Went to Costco to get Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ phones. T-Mobile at the store and on website offers buy one get one free. At Costco members get an additional amount off each phone. When it came to financing it T-Mobile declined to give the full amount. Cited credit class. No other reason. Seems they didn't want to honor deal. My credit is fine. Insulted after 3 hour + waiting. Not Costco people but T-Mobile.

I canceled my T-Mobile account and went to another company. I ported my number AND spoke to a T-Mobile representative that I was switching so they were well aware they were no longer my provider. They have continued to bill me. I disputed this and was told I would be receiving a refund, because I no longer had my old account information, I was told to go into a T-mobile store and verify my account. I went into the T-Mobile store in Westfield Mall in Bay Shore NY. They were inattentive and unhelpful to say the least. They lied and said my account was verified and there was nothing more they can do, and to go to the corporate office or the check will be sent to my house.
Now I receive a collection call from T-Mobile, get transferred to an agent who tells me "why did you call me?" I said, "you called me." She tells me to disregard the call. I call T-Mobile to find out what's going on and where is my refund. Guess what I'm told? To go to a T-Mobile store and have my account verified. When I told them I did this already, I'm told the agents there should have called customer service when I was in the store. I've been outright lied to and given the runaround.

I have been a customer with T-Mobile for over 5 yrs, with very little issues, until recently. I decided to request a unlock for one of my phone lines, due to extremely high phone bills. I did not. T-Mobile had a lock on my phone until I decided to check our other phone carriers. I find another company that was cheaper than T-Mobile, however, T-Mobile refused to unlock my phone. I do not have a contract with T-Mobile, and I own my phone. According to the Consumer Cell Phone Act, It is illegal for T-Mobile to refuse to unlock customer cell phone, if they are not under a contract, and their phone are paid off. I will be taking legal action against T-Mobile.

They are not totally truthful about how they handle the way your account is credited when you upgrade or purchase a phone on special. They say the phone is 99 dollars but then spread the payments over 24 months and then give you a monthly credit. It took me an hour to figure out their statement. They should be forced to fix this. To me it is a truth in lending issue and should be reviewed by the government.

Left TMobile over the weekend for another carrier. We were not allowed to switch from a business account to a regular account - #HeldHostage Today tried to have another of my employees phone switched to a new carrier and they won’t unlock the phone!! They say it takes 24-72 hours before they can release his phone. The balance of the phone was paid off today and yet we still can’t have access to his phone. #HeldHostage Customer service says this is the way they always do it. HORRIBLE HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE! It was supposed to be a 10 min process and now up to 72 hours!!! NEVER NEVER NEVER will I encourage anyone moving to T-Mobile. I don't like to leave bad reviews but this one has to be out there.

Purchased iPhone 11 pro max at TMobile on 19450 Lake Houston Parkway Humble Tx. The saleswomen said to pick out 5 accessories because they were included. Well it turned out that when I later checked my account the 5 items worth $179 were listed to be paid in installments. Went to store to return them and they said I must have misunderstood. Another customer that was there mentioned that the same thing happened to her at another location. Beware of this scam.

Only selected 1 star because you can’t select 0... After months of trying to get my caller ID, I finally give up. I am wasted over 10 hours on the telephone, texts & emails with customer service trying to get a very simple item corrected. I was finally told that their caller ID system is run from a third-party company. If I find hard to believe. I have even spoken to the CEO of the company‘s assistant. Also promised me this issue will be taken care of. All I get is one my afternoon telling me they’re going to correct it. Then you can’t tell me it is corrected and yet again it is still not taken care of. This company is a disgrace as far as their customer service. Even the assistant to CEO John Legere doesn’t follow up on his word... this just cost me $15,000 in a commission check.

I moved my phone service to T-Mobile for the rates they charge for seniors. Have had very few issues with them until recently. When visiting friends a few miles away, a trip to Houston, Texas and working for 13 hours in a small town 13 miles away both my wife and I were unable to make or receive calls during the visits or part of the road trip. After the 13 hour in Holland, Texas I contacted T-Mobile about the lack of coverage even though their coverage map on their web page showed solid coverage in every we had been.
After a week of blaming it on our phones, which we did not buy from T-Mobile but are compatible with their system they finally admitted they were aware the signal in Holland, Texas was not strong enough to use because the nearest was 15 miles away, yet the map showed our phone should have worked fine. This is a blatant deception on T-Mobiles part. I am looking in to returning to Verizon for much better coverage.

T-Mobile has always bent over backwards in their customer service. They really are great to deal with if you have a problem. There is one thing you should look out for, though. Over the course of three years they have put additional services I didn't want on my account. This has happened three times...too many to be an accident. When you call them about it, they remove the service and apologize profusely. Great company, but they will try and pull a fast one on you occasionally so review your bill each month!

Second their services bad that in some areas it was impossible to even make a call and I live in Washington DC. It took me to stop by their store to have them configured my internet connection on my Note 8. And finally when I finally decided to move on with another telephone company, they tried all tricks to keep me. I always paid my bills ahead of time at the beginning of the month for my plan, and when I canceled my plan (before the beginning of my monthly payment and cycle), they still charged my credit card 1 extra month.
I called them several times to ask about it, but they said I was enrolled in auto pay that why that happened, But the truth was that I canceled the auto payments 4 months earlier, so there was no reason for that last charge. And They never returned me a call and nor the money. After all I tried to login to my T-Mobile account to save some proof but they locked me from getting access to the account. They are the worst ever...

I had no issues with T-Mobile until the end when we were trying to cancel our account because we were planning on moving. First of all, I had to pay over $100 just to cancel (this was not including paying off my phone or Apple Watch, I had already done that). Second, after we were cancelled for about a month we got an auto withdrawal for the same monthly amount as usual. When we called they said that since we canceled on the same day as the new cycle began, we had to pay for the whole last month instead of just the day use. If that’s a policy then fine but at least tell me that when I cancel! The amount was also including payments for items that I previously paid off to cancel! I told them it was a mistake but they said there was nothing they could do after talking to 2 different managers. Why am I still paying for devices I already paid off?!
We thought that was the end of it but today, 3 months later we got another auto withdrawal from T-Mobile!! We called customer service AGAIN & they said that apparently the tablet we got for free (as a promotion a while ago) wasn’t paid off & needed to be paid off!! So why did they tell me I paid everything off months before & why are they making me finish paying for it if it was free over a year ago??? I haven’t had to make any payments on it in over a year!! Overall, just to cancel we ended up paying over $500 AFTER paying off our devices. This company cares about you until you want to cancel & then they don’t care. Their service is horrible & the company we are with now, we are paying less for 2 phones than we were with T-Mobile for 1 phone. Will never go back.

Five times on the phone to Tech Support and Customer Service about their so-called "upgrade" that has been going on for months with dropped calls, can't get voicemail unless you download their buggy application that looks like a monkey programmed it (I think the monkey would do a better job). Go on Google Play and look at the reviews there for the visual mail app for T-Mobile. Pathetic!
Tech support (as it is laughingly called) appears to be populated by people who don't know how to problem solve and have a hard time reading from their little script and spend time trying arguing how good their service is (how they can do that with a straight face is beyond me). They didn't even let their customers know they were doing an upgrade and when you asked them how long it would take beyond the three months they have already been screwing things up and the answer I got was "I don't know". Well T-Mobile doesn't know a lot of things it seems. The biggest is properly testing your software BEFORE you release it and that means cross-platform QA testing on all phone models you supposedly support to make sure it works.
If there was a way on this site, I would post all the phone call recordings detailing the issues that I have had with T-Mobile and their sub-standard products and services. Strongly suggest people Use another carrier that has their act together because T-Mobile certainly doesn't. There has been over 50 people in my company alone that has dropped their personal T-Mobile service because of their incompetence and I suspect there will be more. My company has also dropped T-Mobile as a vendor for our cell phone services and good riddance. Went to another carrier and have no problems now with calls or voicemails and my current plan is less expensive with more service and options than T-Mobile. The "un-carrier"? Try the "non-carrier" for a tagline T-Mobile, it better fits how you operate.

They try to charge me for a signal booster, which I received for $25 S&H. Some untrained T-Mobile person put a wrong statement in my file, saying that I moved or cancel service. None of that happened. But my bill is now $375.94 and I having the Customer service people telling me, they can’t hear. Even the supervisor telling me, they don’t know how. I will cancel this service with T-Mobile, because their promises are faig: free is not free,! And their service people can’t help because they are not trained at all and have a bad attitude.
I go back to AT&T, which I had 12 years without any problems, like I have in 4 months with T-Mobile. I am a German citizen and I am ashamed about their business behavior in the US. And By the way: the 99% covering America is also a lie. I have no signal between my house and work, and need a signal boost to get even some bars at my house. And it’s slower than AT&T. Never had that ugly, disrespectful, lying, fraudulent service and fees in 12 years before, signing up with AT&T. Don’t sign up with T-Mobile. Sign with AT&T or Verizon, if you need quality and customer oriented service. T-Mobile is the worst you can do for yourself.

I bought 2 Samsung Note 10 Plus phones. I did the buy one get one free. The first problem started at the store when they couldn't tell me what my bill would be, I would have to wait till the first bill and then the second bill the credit would start coming out. It didn't, then talked with customer service and they told me something completely different. Now after all explaining from store and customer service my bill is now almost 40 dollars a month higher than it was suppose to be. I will never use T-Mobile again once I pay this phone off. It has been one headache after another. The store in Short Pump VA is absolutely horrible.

I cancelled my service with T-Mobile because of buyer's remorse because of the poor quality of service. They was supposed to be no charge instead they charge me. They told me they would refund my credit card and I have not received it. It's been 2 months. I've spoken to 9 different representatives and everyone one told me they would call me back. I have not received 1 return from call. To make matters worse, they put me in a credit collection and I owe them nothing. The only bill that I ever received was a zero balance. They still owe me $85.00. T-Mobile has the worst customer service. All 9 rosenhaus that I've spoken with have lied and never returned my call. They only give you their first name.

Based on my experience, I can say that T-Mobile sucks. I have been paying $15 a month and I now recently sent out my Unlocked Galaxy S8 phone to the insurance company with T-mobile(before I learned the truth.) I will say I regret paying monthly for a horrible replacement and I wish I just had my original phone screen replaced as I had dropped it. They sent me 3 defective phones after telling me that their phones are certified.... clearly they aren't. The headphone jack wasn't working, the screen was damaged, and the screen was completely put on. I had to finally send the third phone out to Samsung to fix it since T-mobile couldn't and Samsung confirmed that the phone T-mobile sent was defective. Do not use their insurance if you must stay with this phone provider. Go with the manufacturer of the device instead(I was satisfied with the repair at Samsung.) I was on the phone for 30 minutes and they hung up.
Another issue I'm having is T-mobile put tons of apps on my phone that is slowing it down and it is full of unwanted software that I can NEVER remove, even if I switch. I called them and they said it can't be removed. They then tried to get me to buy a new line instead of listening to me. Now I'm stuck with a phone that is permanently stuck with unwanted software, even though that's not what I purchased. I even explained that to them over the phone and then they repeated the same thing to me, "Next time you should buy a phone unlocked from them or Best Buy." I already told them that then they repeat what I already said. Bottom line, they don't care about customers. They do what they want without listening to you. I'm switching to another service provider.

T-Mobile as a provider is fair or medium depending on which city you’re in. I’ve been with T-Mobile more than 20 years but I’m considering leaving because they offer better deals to new customers than customers they’ve had for years. We never missed a payment and have increased our use over 20+ years. Yet ask T-Mobile to give me the same deal as new customers who are getting a free iPhone 11 and they say they can’t because they care so much for my long loyalty. They say I should wait until next month when the iPhone 11 will be half price. Does this seem right to you? It tells me leave T-Mobile and come back later. It’s BS.

Only 1 star for great price plans. Otherwise I'd give them 0 for service. Great price plans mean nothing when the power goes out for days and I lose complete service. T-Mobile was the only provider who lost service. I was pissed sitting next to the Cricket customer who was live streaming an NFL game... CRICKET!! Then, I also wasn't able to receive texts or call alerts that my children's school was in lockdown for safety reasons not connected to the power outage! When my elderly parents were struggling with their generator in the middle of the night, they were unable to call me.
When I called TMobile from my mother's AT&T phone, they wanted to send me a text verification code even after I told them I wasn't able to receive text messages! He said the company was able to ensure emergency calls would go out. I clarified I wasn't able to call 911 or 611- thus why I was calling from my mother's AT&T phone! Making matters worse, news investigations into the issue determined TMobile chooses to not have a backup system. Low price plans are great but not worth it if I can't communicate with the people who need me most in an emergency.

T-Mobile advertisement and verbal offers are NOT as presented, e.g., trade in your iPhone 6S or higher and get a new iPhone 11. What that actually means:
2. Trade in amount is deducted from iPhone 11 (64GB) price of $700. Balance due after trading in my iPhone 7Plus is $140.
3. The $560 balance is then divided by 24 months (there's no 2 year contract but you MUST make the payments over 24 months), $23.33 which will be applied against $29.17/mo. (the monthly cost for iPhone 11 64GB) and you will pay $5.84 each month/$140.16 for 24 months for the trading in your iPhone!
4. BUT the 3rd party who receives your trade-in notifies you that your trade-in phone is not what you said, even though I didn't tell them, phone make, model and size verified by T-Mobile staff in store AND online via IMEI.
5. I called T-Mobile to ask what the discrepancy in the phone was and they verify there is NO discrepancy. The phone that was sent in, is the same make, model and size submitted. But in the notification, there is no way for you to get details and you are only allowed to either: 1) accept their lie 2) have the phone returned to you; which means you are no longer given the promotion since it hinged on a trade-in and you will pay full price for the phone since you are already using it and it's now one day past 14 days since you set up the line.
T-Mobile rep responded by crediting my account $13 (the amount the trade-in value had dropped due to completely fictitious reason). But there was no way for them to get the third party to be responsible for the lie and correct the amount. Subsequently, since I was still unsatisfied with the fact that they are lying to customers and based on my feedback to the last customer service call, a T-Mobile supervisor phoned and offered $10 additional credit to my account for the multiple calls and phone suspensions since I signed up. T-Mobile is using deceptive tactics and counting on the fact that most people will not bother to check their bills or complain.

We started our ordeal with T-Mobile about a week ago - as a chat to inquire about switching and what would be involved. The chat rep ended up calling me direct and selling me on the Verizon switch plan. The phone I wanted to buy was not going to be available for about 10 days, but I was assured that our account would not be activated until we received our equipment. I was also assured that they would make sure that we had our promotional gift card to pay off our last bill with Verizon (THIS IS NOT TRUE _ THE GIFT CARDS WILL NOT COME TO YOU UNTIL 8 WEEKS AFTER YOU SWITCH - If you owe any money on your current phones you will have to eat that cost and carry it for 2 months!!!!) Believe me - if this had been explained to me properly in the initial sales call - had I been given info to read and digest I would never had proceeded with this company. But as you can probably tell this information was not provided to me.
Fast forward 3 days and I receive an email activation for my new account (no equipment had been received). I immediately called customer care and was bounced around to 3 representatives over a period of 40 minutes - each one not able to help. I was also "disconnected" and had to call back to get to the 3rd representative!! I continually asked to speak with a manager, and was finally given a manager who told me that we would not be charged until our equipment arrived. Our equipment did arrive sooner than promised which was great, but when I went to the store to activate and port our old numbers over I was told that I could not do that in the store because my order was online.
At this point I decided to cancel and return the equipment - this is just not worth the hassle - I called customer care again with a similar experience - 3 different reps and "disconnected" from one during the initial call. I finally go on with ANOTHER manager who issued me a return shipping label for my equipment. At that point he told me that I would get an email when the equipment was received and my refund would be processed. My equipment was received this past Friday - NO EMAIL CONFIRMATION!! I called customer service AGAIN - no one could tell me why I didn't see that confirmation - that their computer systems have been down all weekend?! WHAT?? And guess what - I was "disconnected" again from the first person that I talked to. I finally got a resolution to be on the lookout for the email Monday morning (today).
The email came through around 10am, and all was well until I walked to my mailbox and pulled out a bill for service from the point I received the email that my account had been activated through November of the same date!!!! I was told during the sales process I would not receive a bill until November. Now typing this review I am sitting with customer service AGAIn - I waited the first time for 15 minutes - got on with a rep who conveniently "disconnected" the call right as we were trying to determine why I would want to cancel my account? Now I have called back and am on hold (15 minutes into the 2nd call back). This should be illegal - they do not sell you the right plan up front and then good luck trying to get any resolution from anyone that works at this company - no one in the store can help you if you buy online.... STAY AWAY!!!!

T MOBILE SUCKS, ITS NETWORK SUCKS, ITS DEALS SUCKS, CUSTOMER SERVICE SUCKS, IN-STORE SERVICE SUCKS. BEING WITH THEM FOR MORE THAN 15 years and long customer, they treated my like **. REASONS -
I placed a trade in order for my IPhone 7 with iPhone 11 and around $350 credit, it got cancelled without my Knowledge as my credit card didn’t go through as it got blocked somehow, because of security issue. The payment should have been processed at the time of giving order. However it got processed 3 weeks later and coincidentally my credit card stopped working at the time due to some security issue and which can happen, though at the time of placing the order it was active and working fine.
They never bothered to call me to take some other credit card number or payment details instead cancelled the order without my knowledge, I was waiting for it for a month and I placed the order a month before, they processed the payment 3 weeks after. I can’t have control on my cc and my banks can block it temporarily due to security issue and I don’t keep track of each cc.
Reason 2 - When I called customer care, I talked to 3 different levels for a duration of an hour, they don’t seems efficient to solve my problem and were forcing me to have a new order without that initial $350 deal, the manager, supervisor were all acting stupid, no customer care etiquettes and unprofessional people!, I was so pissed with their slow response and then inefficiency. They didn’t try to understand my problem and started arguing with me.
Reason 3 - go to any of their stores and their customer service is the slowest with quite untrained people and not more than 2. I waited for more than a hour though there were none in front of me and the two people were being served in the slowest possible way!
Reason 4 - I am an electronics/ network communication engineer, they have weak networks everywhere and the calls drop most of the time or dc while talking, their service is not worth to be paid that much each month, there are better networks like AT& T or Verizon, which are quite stable and reliable. TMOBILE is the most unreliable and unstable network than any... I am being with them for more than 15 years and now looking for another network to move all my lines. It’s too much for me to bear them????, good luck with you all existing t mobile and suggest you to move to another network pls.

This is in my opinion the worst cell phone company. Their customer service is horrible and my coverage in Florida was terrible. I would never use this company again. I would pay double to a company that can provide service as promised and have employees that would listen and care when they cannot.

I was having trouble with Verizon and constant increases and was conned into a Hem account which proved to be useless to us. I have the copy of the ad about a "phone on us when you switch". We had a nice salesperson who was helpful, but getting switched over and going through all the hoops was just ridiculous. One hand does not know what the other is doing.
I just got a new bill and it has the full charge of the new iPhone 11 which more that one salesperson said would be charged monthly over 24 month and then a credit on the bill!!?? There are several people who are NO help at all and one salesperson said I would have to call Apple direct to get help with the transfer of data to the new phone. They are also charging for a full month when we only got the account on October 7th. This is total misrepresentation and false advertising and these these mobile companies who buy out more smaller companies need really strict and close supervision as this is NOT fair to the public.

I was on the T-Mobile website and it said you could trade your iPhone and they would give you some money towards your new iPhone, I called T-Mobile after speaking with the representative. She said "I see the offer and you do qualify" but when she started with the process she said that the offer was no longer available and I said but it’s still on the website and she said it must be a website error. So then I asked to speak with a supervisor after being on hold so many times and transferred to different representatives. I finally got to speak with a manager and he said to me that it was false advertising, I’ve been a loyal T-Mobile customer for 20 years so I said "Well that’s not my fault" and "I would like to get the promotion that is on the website" so he said "I totally understand. Let me see what I can do".
He put me on hold for over an hour and then he hung up on me and didn’t call me back, I called back and again was on the phone for like 3 hours trying to get to the supervisor and when a supervisor finally answered he said that all the supervisors were in a meeting and that he would call me back and I’m still waiting, never did I get the call back from either supervisor. I’m not asking for anything free. I just wanted what the promotion i saw on the website at the time i called and T-Mobiles employee even said "I see it on the website but it’s no longer there", all I ask for is that I get what I saw on the website, 20 years with T-Mobile but I think it’s time to look for a new network, I’m very disappointed with T-Mobile.

I tried to get refund from T-Mobile after switching carriers. A month ago, I was told it will be mailed to me. Didn’t arrive. Called few times, no help. Few days ago I called again. I was told to go to a retail T mobile store. I went there today. In the store I was told they can’t help me, since all my payment were done online. Today during past four hours I was on the phone with the experts of the T mobile. Expert # 1 Chris couldn’t find my account (account was active for past 15 years). Expert # 2 Jelo?? could not help me, called supervisor named Billy. Billy tried to transfer me to phone number 877-778-2106, but didn’t know how to do it.
I called the number, talked to Eli. Eli tried to transfer me after a prolonged conversation to tel. number 800-937-8997 but dropped the call. I called that number. Mash tried to transfer me back to 877-778-2106 back, I told her we were there already. She transferred me to a different number (this time a successful transfer occurred). Talked to the next expert from their enormous team of experts named Shai. After 20 minute conversation with Shai she transferred me again to the next expert, who apparently did feel like talking to anybody so she hanged up without introducing herself. After six hour I gave up. Happy to be away from T mobile. George **. **

I took a chance knowing the service may not work at my house, but with assurances that I can return the equipment (and pay a restocking fee), I was willing to give it a try. It didn’t work. Returned everything the next day, no problem. A month later, they billed my card for a full month of service. After a week going between the store and calling the toll free number (each said to contact the other), finally someone at T-Mobile was able to clear it up by getting a regional manager involved, while standing in the store, calling the toll free number. We received a full credit and were satisfied with the end result. Yet another month later, I receive a bill for a past due amount that not even support knows where it came from. Cycle starts all over, going to the store and calling the toll free number... hopefully it’s less painful this time. The “trial” has cost way more in time than any restocking fee. Beware!

I have been a loyal T-Mobile customer for 15 years, and I usually have not had any issues. But this last experience has me questioning their service level. This was my experience... Problem: On Oct. 11 2019 I called T-mobile to upgrade both of my phone lines to the Galaxy Note 10+ 512gb. Call 1: Oct 11, 2019 4:22pm. Spoke to representative regarding upgrading 2 phones with no down payment. Representative spoke to manager, stated they received an approval for the 256gb, we asked to check on the 512gb. Rep stated that this had been approved and the account had to update so he would personally call us back. Manager name given Jose ** We confirmed the information regarding getting 2 phone with no down payment, again rep told us not to worry, everything would be taken care of tomorrow. No call came in so we called back.
Call 2: Oct 12, 2019 1:27pm. Spoke to representative. Explained the situation, they agreed there were notes there, but she needed her supervisor since she could not do it. We were transferred to a manager Mickie, in the middle of the conversation, the call drops. No call back from the manager. Call 3: Oct 12, 2019 1:48pm. On this call we were transferred to a representative located in Tampa Fl. He was extremely nice. He confirmed he that he saw the comments in the account, he could not do that and spoke to a manager. The managers listened to the calls and they confirmed what we were asking for was what was promised to us. They notified the original managers and rep, to contact us and get this resolved. No call...
Call 4: Oct 13, 2019 8:15pm. We called back and we spoke rep, Adrian. They approved to put the order through without down payment. The down payment would then show in the account and they have an "empowerment" to remove the charges and that's what would be done. An email with the contract would be emailed to me. Down payment was there and only 1 ph showing. Call 5: Oct 14, 2019 4:03pm. Spoke to Andre and Mike, Mike had the original team call us back. Call 6: 6:04pm. Adrian, stated there was nothing they could do they escalated to a manager. Same Adrian who made the promise on call 4 and guaranteed t-mobile was taking care of it. I understand how much can be financed, I understand everything about down payments, but If you said we would do this, you should honor it.
Resolution: I want what was promised by multiple T-mobile representatives and managers. I want 2 Galaxy Note 10+ with no down payment. If down payment is added as part of ordering process I want T-Mobile to refund that amount back to my original form of payment. I want T-Mobile to do right by a loyal customer (15 years). I would also advise T-Mobile to re-evaluate their operations in the Philippines as they were the ones that caused this issue in the first place.

I Am not a T-Mobile customer, but am thinking to transfer to Tmobile because of its international plan. I tried to use the online CHAT service several times to get info. Here is my experience: 1) The waiting time for CHAT is long. 2) The CHAT agents' service is poor. 3) Example of my yesterday's experience: the agent is not professional and is extremely slow. In average, I had to wait for 5-6 minutes for her answer. She did not answer my specific questions, instead, she just typed short general info from the web. After a couple of questions, she sent me links for me to fill in my personal info to join TMobile. I told her that I wanted to understand the plan and the service first. Then she disappeared without answering any questions anymore, without saying "anything else I can help", as all other CHAT services would do. The CHAT experience makes me fear to transfer to Tmobile.

Everyone I have ever spoken to at T-Mobile has been nice. Customer service and tech support is stellar. But even though I live in a 4GLTE area proudly advertised by T-Mobile as having "good" coverage on their map, I get terrible slow unreliable service. I live in a city, not a rural area. My service is unusable inside my home. My home is concrete block construction, which is not unusual in many parts of the country. I have trees in my yard, which are normal, or so we would hope.
My download speed is around 1.5 Mbps with my upload speed around 0.10 Mbps. I had to walk outside to get that reading as inside my home I get no reading. Since I have prepaid and not postpaid, John Legere has not given us any protection against robocallers. Spammers have made Wifi calling impossible. Just because a phone company has "coverage" means nothing. Coverage is meaningless if you can only get one unusable bar.
They will pay you lots of lip service in attempts to get you to stay, but what matters is that the phone service sucks. Moral: Even if it says you are "covered" it doesn't mean anything. They are just as expensive as the other carriers. I have had them for years and put up with it for years, but no more. I am looking elsewhere.

To put simply this is a terrible business. You get a phone, put it inside a phone case, have it break less than 30 days later and they refuse to trade it back because they have such crappy guarantees. They last only 14 days. Like really? You think I am going to figure everything out on my new phone and see if there are any problems by then to report a problem. The second experience was with ANOTHER PHONE that lasted no longer than a year replacing it over 5 TIMES!!! Each time having to pay them 5 dollars to replace THEIR FAULTY PHONE! From problems with the GPS not working, screen burning, to physical warping of the phone due to heat they expect me to pay for the new refurbished one. If you are wondering it was the LG G5.
Now recently I found out they were charging me for a tablet that they gave to me for FREE as part of a "free promotion" for said crappy phone. Not using it for years cause I already had another tablet. Found out they were charging me for it. They won't return my money cause the "promotion rebate has closed out". "They," said you needed to go on the website to claim the promotion. Yep sure the only thing they told me was to mail in a 50 dollar rebate for the phone which wasn't even from them but the manufacturer. I think one of their employees set up the promotion as a transaction so he would get more commission off of it than if I was getting it for free. I'm done with these people. I'm going to find another carrier that won't be treating me like absolute garbage. If they ever want me to recommend them they might have to dig up my corpse and puppeteer my body for that to happen!

In summary, here are the issues we encountered with T-mobile:
- Customer service is brutal as you get bounced around reps that you can’t understand, have no authority, and never get back to you like they say they will.
- You signup for the monthly auto payment and it routinely just forgets the info and doesn't refill causing you to lose service.
In all the services we use as a couple, this has been by far the worst choice we’ve made. It has nothing to do with the money. The amount of frustration that been caused by T-mobile has put us on a mission to share our story. I cannot stress enough how terrible this company is. If anyone wants to learn more or verify our situation, happy to discuss further or share more details. Do yourself a massive favor, and DO NOT SIGN UP FOR T-MOBILE.

Switched over from Verizon to T-Mobile a couple of years ago during the “get out of the red” promotion. That is where they pay off your phones. That didn’t happen. In fact they could not help me with it and didn’t seem to care once they had me signed up. The good thing is I am saving $750.00 per month. The bad thing is the low or no signal.
My office phone is also t-mobile. Been out of order for two days. Called tech support and they could not help. They said take the unit to the local store for a swap. The problem is the store opens at 10;00 am, and I was there until 10;45 and no one showed up to open. I called t-mobile 5 times while waiting. I was cut off 3 times and I hung up one time due to stupidity (not mine). One attendant told me to wait in front of the store until someone arrives. I don’t have time to wait. Another attendant said, "What do you want me to do." I said, "Whatever you are suppose to do." I am now looking for others' services for the office.

My complaint today goes way beyond the 100 words that I am allowed to post here. I recently experienced the worst and most unprofessional customer service from the company T-Mobile that I have experienced in my entire life. The company currently is employing the worst of the worst when it comes to their choice for staffing employees. They offer nothing but poor customer Service. The customer service department is very argumentative, they do not believe in satisfying the customer needs or offering quality customer service, in fact they do not believe that the customers is always right. Their attitude is that they right and you the customer are not.. They work hard at making your experience one of unpleasantness and they do it at all cost.
They even make up lies in order to charge consumers for faulty products that they represent and sell to consumers leaving you the customer to pay for these faulty devices and charge you excessive. **HEAD THE WARNING.** If you have T-Mobile as your current phone service provider I urge you to choose another provider one who will be honest and put you the customer first... Do Not use T-Mobile as your phone service provider. You will only regret your decision.

He didn't seem to care a lot and just kept repeating "we'd hate to lose a customer" without providing any solutions to my issues. Just yesterday I had no internet for 3 hours straight!
In addition to poor network and bumpy internet I got an extra high bill this month, here is why: I made a call to Spain that lasted 8 minutes, I do not have an international plan so I was charged per minute - the total, including taxes, came to a little over $26. T-Mobile's rate is $3 per minute. My bill was obviously more expensive than usual and when I contacted them and came to learn about their shocking rates I was extremely dissatisfied. Then the rep went on to tell me that they have the cheapest international rates in the market. This is simply untrue, after a quick google search I found that Verizon has a rate of $1.99 and an option to add an international plan for $5, instead of the $15 that T-Mobile charges.

I have requested to post out my number, but could not complete the transaction because apparently T-Mobile has locked my device.

Imagine how surprised I was when I learned that my phone is still locked by T-Mobile without any reason and my knowledge.
I called them on Tuesday to unlock it and was told that I have to wait for 72 hours to get this unlocked. I did not believe this is fair because my phone should not be locked on the first place. I have requested my case to be expedited and they promised to do it within 24 hours. Well, after 3 days and countless calls to the customer service and/or customer care department, I am still without the phone. They also told me that they lock all the phones for 40 days regardless of method of purchase. In my case, I purchased the phone directly from Samsung, but T-Mobile still locked it.

Early in June I cancelled all of my service. However, the agent I spoke with failed to cancel one of the lines and I received another bill the next month for the full family data plan and one line.

I am 63 and my significant other is 57. We were looking for a reasonable phone plan in our area for unlimited data, text, phone for 55+. We saw T-Mobile had a $90 plan for the 2 of us. We are located in a remote area of The Thumb in Michigan; so we called T-Mobile to ask about this plan, if our area was in their network, and to place an order based on our findings.
We were connected to a sales person on Saturday, August 30, 2019 in New York. He walked us through a great deal that we jumped on for $90 a month billing with no taxes. He told us he'd send us two phones with sim cards; we'd receive them by Tuesday and we could set them up with no problems. He guaranteed us T-Mobile had service at our address. Wish he did his homework better because now begins our nightmare.
Upon receiving the two new phones on Tuesday as he told us, we installed the sim cards and called T-Mobile customer service to set them up. We could NOT get a signal. We could not use these phones to place this call. The guy we talked to this time on Tuesday said we DO NOT GET SERVICE AT OUR ADDRESS! So why did the guy in New York tell us we did?
T-Mobile may be able to offer service for our zip code, but not at our address and that doesn't help us. So, this 2nd person we spoke to called the Shipping Department and this 3rd person (a woman) sent us a return address label via email and with instructions from both these people (2nd and 3rd) we were in touch with, we packaged the phones up in the same box, placed the return shipping label on the box and prepared it for UPS shipment. This box went out UPS on Friday, August 30, 2019. It was tracked and received in Fort Worth, TX, on Thursday, September 5 (after Labor Day) at the T-Mobile dock as it should.
It is now Monday, September 23, 2019, and we have no refund of the $74 for sim card charges and T-Mobile is billing us for one month of usage! We never were able to use these phones, but now are getting billed for usage. My significant other has called T-Mobile many times and they claimed they haven't located the phones and they claim the account is being charged monthly. He asked to talk to a supervisor and got hung up/disconnected numerous times trying to resolve this issue, explaining to every new person he'd get the problem which never ended in a solution so he asked me to try.
I contacted my first T-Mobile person down in the Texas on Wednesday, September 18. I explained the situation and gave her the order #, account #, UPS tracking #, both phone numbers they gave us, everything I had. She was able to open up TWO research orders instead of just the one that someone else opened AND she put in the detailed information of the UPS tracking #. She also saw and understood that we never used these phones and that we were erroneously being charged for an account that was never actually put into usage. She said she would call my significant other back 4 days later. That call never came on Sunday, September 22. I had no clue why.
Now, it is Monday, September 23 and I placed a call again to T-Mobile and was connected to Miranda in Idaho. Idaho happens to do the training for T-Mobile. She looked at everything using our order # and said that on Thursday, September 19 the review department looked at this issue and a return order was finally set up stating the phones had been returned. However, some newbie dismissed this issue at the next step seeing that this account was in usage without ever reading any notes!
You can imagine how someone 63 feels when they keep hearing of the incompetence of the employees our issue falls into the hands of and how they will just dismiss it without any further investigation because they are either new or too lazy or incompetent to do their jobs correctly! Really now? What does one have to do to get proper handling of a situation like ours? Certainly, and through no fault of our own, a refund has still not been made or this account closed to this date because T-Mobile employees lack the proper experience to understand an issue and follow through the correct procedures. The two women I have talked with in Texas and Idaho have been conscientious and knowledgeable and the only ones that seem willing to help us.
Today, while talking to Miranda, she was going to talk to the order support team located across the hall from her. She put me on hold and eventually I must've been on hold too long because my call went back into the queue and some younger customer service person answered it with "Can I help you?" and I tried to tell him I need to go back to the Idaho office to Miranda who had me on hold. He couldn't do that of course so I am back to trying to get someone in the United States by calling the customer service number again. I was waiting over 15 minutes twice already and got someone overseas each time and told them I need to call back and now I will not be calling back because the wait is 30 minutes!
So, folks, if you are 55+ and looking for this same T-Mobile plan, go to Verizon because that is what we had to do. They offer a similar plan for $45 up to two people but you have to have an IL, FL or MO address. I am from IL and am using my family address there. I get great reception out here on The Thumb with Verizon. Got none with T-Mobile. We tried to do the right thing, tried to get what we thought would be a great plan at our age only to be told erroneous information and now are getting ripped off because of it. T-Mobile got their phones back, but we are still getting billed on an account never used with no refund for phones or account closed properly, T-Mobile has done nothing for us but given us grief and aggravation. What can we do? No one that can seem to resolve this issue.

T-Mobile has randomly cancelled my cell coverage twice in the two months I've had their service, despite having prepaid for my account. They've provided no explanation and customer service hasn't been quick. Their app also won't work for my prepaid account on my new T-Mobile phone and their customer service can't fix it. And their online website keeps crashing and not letting me make changes; everything has to be done over the phone, which would be easier if my phone actually worked.

They called themselves the Un-carrier in the past and bragged about all the things they brought to the table that other carriers didn’t. Of course, once you’re with them, you are excluded from many special promotions, or they create offers that guarantee new customers will buy in while existing customers will get screwed! I paid off my iPhone a few days before the launch of the new iPhone and waited for the preorders to begin... Well, T-Mobile never bothered to release any pricing or promotional information on the launch of the iPhone, until the morning it launched!
So what did they do? Well, they decided that their promotion would be that you could trade in your phone in exchange for bill credits! Yes, that’s right, you still have to pay the $300 out of pocket, and they will give you what amounts to 50 cents a day over 2 years in exchange for your old phone! This scam is designed to optimize profits and inventory, while creating market conditions where existing customers are force to beg for scraps on launch day, unless they want to shell out $300 and their existing phone for a preorder.
Of course, they refused buy one get one deals to existing customers as well and this is just because they’re trying to get more money while doing very little to try and retain your business! I’m done with this company, my family will begin moving our 6 lines to a competing brand as soon as possible, and I would advise anyone considering T-Mobile to consider other brands, as T-Mobile has clearly shown me they don’t care about my business and they’ve done this on multiple occasions.

They always told me that I was speaking with a special customer service department that was just for the clients that were so long standing and that they were there to offer me excellent service. And they did!! They were amazing!! But I figured they just told me that to make me feel special and that everyone was actually getting awesome service. Wrong.

I didn’t think anything of it other than the fact I would miss them saying “wow, you’ve been with us for 23 years!” The customer service I experience now is horrible. I called them tonight to get an extension on my bill. I owe $103 and I’m waiting for my new debit card to come in the mail.
The guy told me I needed to pay it today because it was TWO days past due and they tried to run my card that I had set up on autopay and it wouldn’t go through. (I had to cancel the card, I lost it.) The NEW bill hasn’t even come out. I’ve barely entered the grace period! He was condescending and then said to me “miss, let me enlighten your brain for a moment.” I didn’t even hear anything else after that, I told him I would take care of the past due with a different card immediately online and would be cancelling my account ASAP.

I repeated what he told me, he confirmed it and I took the bait. Unfortunately he misled me purposely and each month for the first three months I was billed a different amount, I called T-Mobile apologized promising they would "fix it" and I would be billed accordingly.
This month I get billed $77.00, I call and now I'm told that this IS my bill contrary to all the assurances that it WAS IN FACT $53.50 supposedly and they go on to say I have passed the TIME LIMIT on returning everything. I was led to believe they would 'Fix it" and now told "too late". Bad news, dishonest company. Going back to Verizon. Hopefully they will be honest.

I just got through with an unsatisfactory response from T-mobile's "Office of the President" about a month I spent volunteering in Kenya--important point--across an entire billing cycle. I got the message that I was using too much, called (on wifi) to ask what I could do and was told basically nothing--there's no way to BUY coverage on top of the generous international roaming plan. When I got home, they PERMANENTLY withdrew my international roaming privilege!! Three concerns: When the criterion is a percentage and you’re out of the country through a billing period, ANY usage—1kb—is over 50%. They make it sound like it's amount, but it's entirely about percentage. If you're only out of the country for PART of a billing cycle, the "watch lots of videos" idea works, but if you're international through an entire billing cycle, ONE call to Uber=100% and puts you in violation.
In that situation, the lack of an add-on international calling package as an option means T-mobile doesn’t allow people like me to “do the right thing” even when we offer to do so. It creates a corporate “gotcha.” (If T-mobile offers daily or monthly international usage plans, they didn't tell me about them when I inquired, but I'd still love to know. They offer a SUPPLEMENTAL plan on TOP of the free plan to get faster coverage, but no temporary plan for long international trips that I know about. Glad to find out differently.
Permanent revocation of the privilege when there is no “approved” recourse is not in the spirit of the “uncarrier” at all. As you can tell, more than aggravated I’m just disappointed. At least in this situation, T-mobile is not who they say they are. Really love lots of things about the company, but in this instance they are not the "uncarrier"--they are TOTALLY "corporate.

T-Mobile is the worst mobile provider, in my opinion. Their coverage is sub-standard to missing in most placing that I have lived so far.

For example, I thought I cancelled my plan one month and paid what I thought was my final bill. But later received a bill and called to find out that the account was still open with lines that were transferred to another carrier. So then I had to pay yet another bill and "cancel" service yet again. Oh yeah, they cancel your account account so you cannot log in and see your bill (for yourself) and pay it. When you call they cannot update your address to send you the final bill and it seems that emailing it is off the table, as well. I will never be a T-Mobile customer ever again.

Moving into a new home and wanting to bundle cell, TV, and broadband services I tried to cancel my T-mobile service. I made a call to customer service and was told by the rep that my bill was paid ahead and by paying off what I owed on an iPhone would settle my account. Since the system did not recognize my PIN I was required to visit a store to settle the account, which I did. Days later I receive a letter that says my account is in arrears and I owe for the last month's service. A phone call to a rep and then their supervisor is a waste of time as they can't authenticate my account and I must visit a store.
OK, two days later I receive a phone call from a collection agency! Who turns an account over to collection in less than a week? I have an excellent credit history with a FICO score in the 800s and I've never had a call from a collection agency. I haven't made a late payment in over 30 years. I'm left to wonder if this is some sort of retaliation on the part of those phone reps that I've been dealing with?
Another gripe is that in order to provide my 98 year old mother with a simple flip phone T-Mobile's choice was an Alcatel flip phone. The first one failed within 3 weeks and 3 subsequent replacements also failed within a few weeks, each replacement costing us $30. After the last failure I would not accept another Alcatel model and T-Mobile said they could not provide any other model simple phone and it was up to me to purchase a phone that would work on their network. Wasted time and money for zero support. Given the ineptitude of the phone and store reps and shoddy equipment I would advise anyone to avoid T-Mobile like the plague.

I have no reception at all at my house (1 bar and drops every call) and I am in a town of 100,000 in the bay area. Over all I could deal with the sketchy service but anytime they come out with a new promotion it is geared only toward new customers. So let's forget about the current customers that keep the lights on every month and pay the employee salaries and let's put all our promo money into new customers instead that may or may not stay!! Brilliant marketing plan!! So we needed new phones because we have the Apple 7 phones that only have 16 GB of memory and with all the Apple update there is not enough room on the phone.
So I called customer service to see if there was anything they could do to get us two new Apple XR phones (2 out of our 4 lines) and they talked about special programs that we could get like 400.00 as trade ins. I said thats all you can do, they said yes. So we started to look around at other carriers and happen to be at the mall and we said to ourselves that if they gave us 400 bucks for each of our phones that would be half off a new phone. Not as good as being a new customer and getting a free phone but would be less hassle, no start up fees with a new customer sign ups etc. So we went into a T-Mobile store and they offered us like 100.00 for each phone, WHAT A JOKE.
One hand doesn't know what the other hand is doing. The two people helping us had no knowledge of the new iPhone nor what happens when you change plans etc because we have one free line so we just wanted to know if we change plans would we still get the free line or not. One person said yes the other said no, NICE, we have no idea. So we went ahead and spent like 850.00 on a new iPhone which they were giving to new customers because we figured we own it and we could just port our number when we change carriers.
The next day we received a survey to ask what we thought of or visit to the store so I answered it honestly. About a week later I get a call from T-Mobile customer service asking about my survey which I thought was great they cared enough to call!! About a minute into the call it dropped due to bad service, doesn't look to good when you are on the phone with a cell phone provider and the call drops!

I have been a customer for over 7 years and had never had a problem until my Samsung device began to have issues charging. While charging my S10+ I began to smell smoke and quickly disconnected the charger from my device. Unfortunately, my phone is not able to be charged using quick charge. I now have to settle for wireless charge which is extremely slow and inefficient. My phone had only been on the charger for a few moments before I began to smell that it was beginning to burn! The phone was not near water or hadn't come into contact with water or any other object that could lead to this.
T-Mobile instructed me that I had to pay $100 in order to receive a refurbished device. I did not cause this in any way shape or form. There is no water damage, the phone has never been dropped, and the phone has never been out of the case since the day I purchased the device 3 months ago. Besides having to pay $100 to receive a refurbished phone I have to wait 3 days for it to get here. In my opinion this is terrible customer service and I will definitely be switching carriers. Their warranty policy is a scam and the policy should be changed immediately.

I was in Houston on a business trip. I went to an event and spun a Wheel to win FREE STUFF. It wasn't free. It was agreed and in the contract for $10 a month. The first bill was $22. I called the Customer Service and spent 3 hours on the Phone with multiple different departments and got nowhere. So after that long on the phone I realized they didn't have any respect for my time and were totally incompetent with trying to get it resolved. I knew it wouldn't be a company I could do business with at that time and canceled the account. Then changed my Debit Card # so they couldn't charge it for anything else as a supervisor promised. My financial institution advised me to do so as an extra precaution. They informed me of how I'd have to pay for the FREE TABLET I won at a promotional event was having at another event in February of 2019. We are in August of 2019 Now. I've received multiple letters from a Collection Agency.
I have disputed the charges with them. When I call the T-Mobile Customer Service Line now. They all hang up on me. I only want to contact the them now to get them to unlock the Tablet so I can use it with a different service provider. That if they'll unlock it. I will PAY FOR THE FREE TABLET I won at their promotional event just to save the time it would take to get this resolved in Court. Moral of the story here is this, DO NOT EVER ACCEPT ANYTHING SUPPOSEDLY FREE FROM T-Mobile. They are not to be trusted and have no respect for your time.

Zero loyalty to existing customers! Today was the third and final attempt to work out a better family plan with T-Mobile after being their customer for over seven years.. Four years on a different plan with my daughter and the past three years under my name with my sons. I tried and tried and they refuse to give any new promos to their existing customers! Only new customers get the best deals. Existing customers get squat! It does not matter if you speak with the customer service rep Supervisor or even Corporate. They do not care that you have been their loyal customer whatsoever, they have proven this time and time again! So not stick with or go with T-Mobile unless you enjoy being treated like nothing and paying higher prices than you have to. They have been also ripping off my daughter with the military plan that is supposed to be 50% off making her pay even higher than I have been paying for three lines, for over two years now!

After the first hour in the store, they suddenly realized "Gee, we can do this here on the computer without having to wait for customer service." Nope, turns out their computers were "down." Called myself and spent another hour on hold, still no help. On top of that, all the information they gave me in the store was wrong and I had to start from scratch.

Hi, I have T-Mobile family plan. They discount you if you put it on auto pay setup to pay the bill. I had plan for 35$ for all 4 lines when I purchased and then after 2 months, I went in store and changed the plan for all lines to 30$. The person inshore said he has made the change in plan for all the lines so I went off and trusted them that the change is made. The bill is on autopay so I never checked it, unit before few days, I gave bill as document proof and realized, they changed the plan for only 1 line and DID not change for rest 3 lines. The added services on top of it at random times. Bill should not be more than 180 and it was always 265$ each month for last 12 months.
I called the customer care and asked them to rectify and refund the amount and they said they can only do for last 3 months. That is max. I told them, I am not liable for this mistake and the person who made the change to account and miscommitted, should pay for it. The customer service rep was very arrogant and said he can not do anything. If I want I can take the 180 credit or else nothing can be done. Most pathetic service ever. I am planning to pursue legal complaint so they do not do fraud in billing with other customer ever. They make you setup autopay and then keep charging new amounts and when you find that they DID financial fraud, they say they can not do anything and I can go to hell.

A sales me walks in my store and claims to be a T-Mobile business to business dealer and he can lower my bill and give me better quality service then my current supplier which was Sprint. So we purchase 2 s10 and the promo is buy one get one free in the form of a credit every month for one of the phones with no money down because of our stellar credit rating. So later that night my wife and I are looking over the papers and discover he ordered the s10 e which our the lowest quality s10 not what we wanted he never explained there were three options and took it upon himself when we clearly said s10.
Next day I call and they say no problem when UPS delivers just refuse delivery and they will send out correct phones. I call back and order the correct s10 and s10 plus now they tell me since we sent the others back I'm required to pay a deposit why am I being punished because your sales rep ordered the wrong phones. three days go by and they call three different days with different down payments 149.00 then it was 500.00 then it went to 700.00. Know im getting mad I call and he agreed on 49.00 per phone but I had to take two s10 I told him the s10 is to small for my big hands and I want the s10 plus well that's a 249.00 deposit I'm being forced pretty much to take the smaller phone.
So they arrive and sure enough it's too small for me. I call them and at this time I discover that they are not T-Mobile but a third party dealer and also I have no insurance on my phones but the sales rep sold to me so I have 2000.00 dollars in phones and no insurance at this point I'm livid and there's nothing he can do I can only return once I'm stuck. Oh and also I can't have the same plan because it's no longer available. It changed that morning but I signed up a week ago. Oh well nothing they can do. So now my bill is 60.00 dollars more then what it was with Sprint.
I decide to call T-Mobile directly now that I know they are not who they claim to be. I get a manager on the Phone by the name of Edward and he's so apologetic and they have nothing but problems with these third party dealers. He looks over the account and says, "Oh my. You had thirty two calls in three days. What can I do tho make it right." In the end he credited all my money back with totaled 359.00 but it was credited to the account I was ok with that he told me to go to an actual store return the phone and get the one I want I did all was good in my world for 4 days.
Then I get a text message from T-Mobile because I did a buyer's remorse which is what the manager told me to do I no longer qualify for the buy one get one they will no longer be giving me the credit for the phone screwed again. I get on the phone with another manager they can no longer give me the plane because it's not available but it was when I signed onto your service. They rescinded the credits the other manager gave me so I say enough I want to cancel and send your phones back.
They say you can cancel but you're responsible for payment of the phones which total about 1900.00. I only had fourteen days and today is 15. Funny how the text message came on the day after. I plead my case how they are very dishonest and after going back and forth for an hour she is going to send me some kind of credit card for 450.00 and along with the 350.00 the first manager gave me to cover everything they charged me already I can apply towards the cost of the phone which in theory gives me a free phone. Fine but what about the 350.00 you already got out of me that the manager gave me credit for you our now taking from me to pay for the phone. They screwed me hard stay away from T-Mobile my bill is now after everything still 30 dollars more than Sprint was and can't cancel or I have to pay them for the phones.

I live in a city of about 23,000. According to T-Mobile’s coverage map, I should have had no cell phone reception problems. However, coverage in our house was spotty which made me nervous as I have a child responsible for getting themselves on the bus and I call on my way to work to make sure they’re ready to go. 95% of the time, I was unable to reach them due to coverage issues in our house. Myself and my spouse both drive great distances for work and encountered several dead spots which led to a lot of frustration.
We had switched from Verizon as I liked the extras T-Mobile offered and it was $100 cheaper. Well, you get what you pay for and after yet another dropped call in our house, we switched back to Verizon today. Also, when we switched to T-Mobile we were told coverage area would be improved within a few months and that never happened. I’m sure our results would have been better in a large metropolitan area and no visits to rural areas. Nothing is more frustrating when you have no coverage when you really need it.

I took them and gave them to my relatives and visitors coming from overseas. After few months they started charging me for these 'FREE' lines. Then early 2019 I decided to move my lines to a different carrier. I asked them to close my lines and account. After repeated calls somehow they kept one line open in the account for months and kept me out of billing related communication for 4 months. My credit card information had changed meanwhile and they could not charge my card anymore. I was travelling all over the world during this time.
And one fine afternoon I got a call from a collection agency for unpaid bills in my T-Mobile account. It's been 3 weeks since then and after numerous calls with various reps and multiple stops at the stores I can see that they are hell bent on getting paid unfairly maybe because I moved my business over to another carrier.

The next situation was when I asked about "Binge On". They told me I had "Binge On" even though I have unlimited data. I wanted binge on so that I would not use my high speed data. Even though I have unlimited I still only have 50ish GB of high speed data. They told me I had "binge on" and I had no need to worry. A couple months later I asked if Hulu was included in my Binge On and I was informed I don't have "binge on" and they can't do anything about it.

On the 21st month, my disabled mother drops her phone and cracks screen. T-Mobile was unhelpful and uncooperative trying to charge me $300 to replace the phone with the $15 a month insurance. Don't believe their scam they cover the dropping it because the simple answer is THEY DON'T. Buy Apple Care and be done with it. So, I dropped the coverage, and said took the bail. Bought an iPhone XS Max and this time purchased the Apple care. Intent was to give my 85 year old grandma the iPhone 10 and then pass down to my disabled mom the iPhone 7 that my grandma is using that I gave her a while back.
I told her to go to T-Mobile they should be able to help her out it's me and my mom and I spend $200+ a month with T-Mobile. MY 85 YEAR OLD GRANDMOTHER HAD TO GO TO THIS STORE 4 TIMES AND THEY STILL WOULDN'T HELP HER. 1st time. They said they can't help phone is not in her name is nothing they can do. I call TMobile they get her added on account. I told her tell them to call me if there is a problem so 2nd time they say the phone is locked there is nothing they can do goodbye.
I call TMobile they say how embarrassed they are an apologize tell me the phone should be unlocked she can take it back up there. She goes up there and again they turn her away no one again contacts me no one is interested in helping her since they can't make money off her in the store. I call T-Mobile again same song and dance how sorry they are they are treating my 85 year old grandmother this way and this time send me an email authorization saying the phone unlocked. Follow these steps. She goes back up there trying to get help a 4th and last time before giving up. They said phone needs to be connected to iTunes they can't and won't help her.
As a previous Apple Engineer for iPhone these are some of the most unintelligent and cruel individuals in their handling of helping an 85 year old grandmother and my disabled mother. I would not EVER recommend this store. AVOID THIS STORE AT ALL COST, IN FACT, AVOID T-MOBILE!!! ! Don't condone this nasty behavior and let them know that the grandparents and disabled people deserved to be help even if not being squeezed for extra cash by all means their son/grandson is fitting the bill for two families and just bought the iPhone XS Max from that store a month ago. Follow up: I did follow up with T-Mobile I reached out to the CEO directly after not getting adequate feedback from the support that replied here.
Their response was unsympathetic at best doing their clever best to shift blame and quote policy. While I did entirely expect this I thought as their CEO touts a customer centric experience I would not get the typical well technically it’s not our policy to not help non customers. Mind you my disabled mother is actually a customer just so happens I pay for her like. Regardless, the end result was that they took advantage of my complaint to actually try and UPSALE me. Sorry we treated your parents horribly and ultimately led to them trying to do things on their own which broke the sim on phone but we would love to sell you a new device. Not that the XS Max wasn’t enough then they said they don’t make any money off selling phones...

Just over a year ago I got a Revvl phone from T-Mobile. Recently I started having problems with the charging port like there was a short in it. I took it to the T-Mobile store and they looked in the charging port and said their phones were prone to corrosion damage from the high humidity, thus any warranties are voided because that's considered water damage, thus any warranties are voided and offered to sell me another phone. I've been with T-Mobile for 19 years and all of my phones lasted for years, and I never had a corrosion problem to a charging port.
If these phones are so sensitive to humidity then why don't they put a cover over the port when it's not being charged? Needless to say I did not get another T-Mobile phone since evidently their newer phones are designed to fail in only a year's time. Evidently they're not making them like they used to! (By the way, they said they could see green in the port proving moisture damage. I have photographs that show no green whatsoever).

T-Mobile, from Customer Service, to Technical Support, to Billing, to Supervisors, and Management, Thank you! To current customers and non-customers please take note as T-Mobile is where you want to stay or be in the years to come. They have amazing things coming around the corner and you will want to be a part of it. I know this because they listen to their customers and respond appropriately exceeding my expectations. My experience the last six years from both a personal and business account perspective has been most incredible, most uplifting, and most desirable a consumer could experience. When I switched carriers from Verizon to T-Mobile I was looking for an economical and quality carrier. I not only found that, but much more that exceeded any customer experience in my many decades on planet earth.
I have had some great company experiences in my lifetime and personally I have delivered top-notch Customer Service and Technical Support as well. In Aerospace I received letters of accommodation and recommendation from Japan Airlines and the Boeing Company including a Memorial from JAL. I know customer service and technical support. T-Mobile, hands down the number one company experience in my lifetime. It started six years ago when I was located in an area that had no service by any carrier. T-Mobile found a way to get me at least 2G to my phone. I did not know 2G still existed. No carrier could penetrate this structure, but T-Mobile did. They used engineering and finagled phones until they found the right combination. They never gave up to fulfill my service in a desperate situation. Two years later I switched over to a business account.
Again, out of nowhere they made my experience 100% better by assigning me a team! A team of people available to me 24/7 all seven days a week. This team knows me better than any company has in the past. They are at the meat of my business keeping my operation alive and well. T-Mobile has never wavered. I believe in their customer centric mentality throughout the company. They look at your circumstances and make decisions based on your needs and situation before their own. Their genuine concern and expertise in resolving technical issues is exemplary and unparalleled in the cell phone industry. They have helped me immensely in overcoming a changing economic landscape and every day challenges life can throw at you like theft and technical issues.
At the end of the day their actions are what separates them from any other organization. T-Mobile is behind me, in front of me, and they will be, by my side as long as I buy cell phones. One of the most impressive moments recently was when they got LG on the phone with me. The actual manufacturer. I needed backup completed beyond three phones, to help me with recovery. That was a first as they wanted me to be assured they have no limits to deliver exactly what you ask for. I want to acknowledge my team at T-Mobile with this endorsement. Thank you very much Team!

The deal offered was the same he had originally given me. The two AT&T phones would fall under the buy back and part would go for an upfront credit that would be enough to cover the taxes for the new phones and the accessories and the rest would be sent to me in a cash card for the replacement of the broken one I was told that since I was bringing in a new line and there was no buyback I would get the new iPhone XR free offer.
It took us about five hours to do all the switching and when we left everything seemed fine. The next evening I downloaded the T-Mobile app and when I checked for my purchases things did not seemed right and one of the buy back credits was no longer there. I called the store and was told not to trust the app because things are never listed right in the beginning. I had red flags going up and requested that they hold on to the phones that I had. Turned it in just in case but they told me that the phones were gone and that I had no right to them. I returned to the store after work and questioned the salesman what was going on. He told me that after I called they checked into it and found out that the offer he had given me had expired and T-mobile had switched my contract to the new one.
In the new contract my free phone was no longer free and one of the phones that was part of the buyback was changed to the free one and I was no longer getting the money to pay AT&T. As a result the bill had gone up and the accessories that were originally covered by the buyback was now in installment plan. All the salesman could tell me was that I could lower my plan to a basic one and not trade in the third phone that I did not have it with me on the original day. That was unacceptable since that was not the plan that I signed up for. I contacted the main customer service who originally could not make heads or tails of what account because nothing matched (what a surprise) then after sending my issue to two other people, waiting for days for a response and having panic attacks over all of this, I finally received a phone call and was told that there was nothing they could do because the deal I was sold did not exist.
I requested that they cancel all my contract, take everything back without fees and either give me my phones back or give me what I owe AT&T for it. I was told that I could cancel the contract because it was still under 14 days but that I would have to pay $75 return fee for each of the three phones and that I would receive anything for the phones I traded in because they were no longer my phones. After telling me that that was not acceptable they told me that they would see what they could do because they did not want to lose me as a customer, but now I’m getting the silent treatment even after an attorney that I contacted gave me the VP of customer service number and I left a message. My 14 days will be up in two days and I have a feeling that they are waiting for that so they can claim that the 14 days have passed.
I have been with AT&T for almost 20 years and was NEVER treated this way. My only reason for leaving them was to lower my bill so I could pay a hospital bill. Now instead of owing about $1100 in phones and paying $320 monthly, I have all that plus $1500 in T-Mobile phones, and a monthly bill that is the same as AT&T! I may have gotten screwed by T-Mobile, but at least by posting this I hope to prevent anyone else from making the mistake of going to T-Mobile! And by the way, the “free phone” is not free. After paying the taxes up front, they charge your account about $32 monthly and only credit you $22! On a 24 month plan you are still paying $240.

I have been a T Mobile customer for 7+ years. In the last two years, they have turned into a horrible company to work with. Their customer service is disorganized and ineffective. Customer complaints and follows ups get lost, improperly documented and not followed up on as promised. In the last two years I have had multiple billing issues resulting in more than 10 hours spent calling their support teams to address. None of the issues have been resolved as the next steps promised are not taken and I don't receive a call back when I'm supposed to.
The only reason I haven't left T-Mobile is I am on their Jump! phone upgrade program and haven't made it a priority to pay off a full phone to be able to leave their service. After the latest series of events, I will be taking action to discontinue my service with T-Mobile. I had a smartphone stolen and it took several days to file a claim due to the insurance website being down and me needing to call- something hard to do without a phone. I was told 4 different amounts that I would have to pay for my deductible which resulted in delays as well.
The insurance program promises a phone the next business day if claims are filed by 8PM EST. My claim was completed yesterday by 3PM EST. I still do not have a phone today, Assurant can't give me any update and doesn't know if there is even a phone they can ship. I spoke to T-Mobile who states they can't do anything at all and I have to work with the other company. After multiple escalations to supervisors and additional customer service with both T-Mobile and Assurant, I am still with no update as to when I will have a replacement phone. Save yourself the trouble and work with any other cell phone carrier.

The implications of offshoring support services to the "cheapest" country/provider are readily apparent in T-Mobile's phone support service. Objectively, I experienced the following during a landline port out into T-Mobile:
- Zero communication from T-Mobile indicating any issue occurred.
- Being bounced around by phone support a minimum or 5 times per call before reaching the proper team, sometimes seemingly to the same team more than once.

I've been with T-Mobile for five years on a prepaid plan $80 monthly. Recently I discovered that they called it "grandfather's plan" and they had upgraded to a new platform and the service costs $50 monthly, but they never informed me. So I called them last month and they told me to go to the store. I did it and when I told them my intentions to switch they said the system was down. Went to another store and I was told to wait until the end of my monthly cycle. Today was my last day of the Cycle so went to the store and they asked me to call customer service. Called them and according to them I need a new Sim card. At the end I paid for the grandfather amount. I feel played out by T-Mobile like they want to keep charging me the higher amount. Loyalty is not considered by them so this will be my last month.

We just switched to T-mobile. The phone service is fine. The purchase experience was terrible. The T-Mobile store staff did not fully explain the costs of the program and the overall process took more than two hours.

T-mobile is a scam that provides customers with fake Samsung phones, then refuses to back the product. I think T-Mobile's phones are simply market ripoffs. I had insurance and it did nothing for me. All they provide are more refurbished phones with the same problem as the new ones. I had to cancel the service after just 3 weeks of sheer torture trying to get someone to help me. Literary 6 hours on the phone, and nothing. Even months later, I am still being billed for the refurbished phone that didn't work. Whatever you do, stay away from this company and NEVER give them any personal information. They use the same servers as Experian. In the aftermath of my T-Mobile adventure, I went for an unlocked phone and that's working for me.

I was alone and looking on Wed 5 June 2019 as my wife hates the process and was at work. 2. We both came to the store the next day, 6 June 2019, to buy 1 get 1 free on the unlimited 55 plan. Confirmed again about the offer and no problem. Phones bought, accessories, phone #s switched, Visa charged, then as we were almost done the rep said: “Oh, looks like I messed up and trade--ins are required.” (6 and up).
3. So the old bait and switch approach as the store manager quickly disappeared as the rep looked at us. I said, "NO WAY," so now we had to spend 2 hours switching back to ATT as they would not do anything on the deal as promised. Total of 4 hours wasted! 4. I plan on telling everyone I know about my wonderful T-Mobile experience and beware of what you are told! 5. Just wanted you to know about the local store performance.

On May 25th I went to purchase the T-Mobile base prepaid plan because I only needed service until I moved out of the country for a new job on June 30th. My phone at the time was issued from my former employer and had to be returned before I departed the country. On June 4th, I called to add data to my plan, as I had to return my former company issued phone on June 7th. I was told that the only way to add data to my plan was to switch to a different one that costs $40/month. I went ahead with these changes because I needed data for transportation apps. During the call the representative never told me that I was making this change "mid-cycle" and that despite paying the $40, my service would only be good through June 25th since I originally signed up May 25th.
On June 25th, I was forced to pay for another 30 day cycle at $40/month + tax for a total of $44.99 because I needed data for transportation apps. I didn't think about it at the time but once I reviewed my bank statement, I realized that I had paid on June 4th, I called to question the charges. I was told that because I activated the card on May 25th, changing on June 4th to a plan with data did not mean I received a full month of service (in my mind July 4th). I questioned why the prorated amount was $40 since I did not receive a full month of service but was given the runaround and no clear answers. After questioning this and asking to cancel, I was offered a CREDIT of $10! Not even worth my time to make this extremely ridiculous phone call. I was on the phone for 30 min, lost 84.99 for service used for 36 days despite being advertised as $40/month. I don't recommend T-Mobile at all.

Called my carrier they said it was still under warranty and that they would send it to Apple for replacement.

Once T-Mobile inspected the phone, they said because of a feather scratch they couldn't send it back because of Apple policy. They considered the phone as damaged. In order for me to exchange the phone, I had to file a claim through the insurance. I had to pay 99.00 to exchange the phone.
Once I got the exchanged phone which was refurbished it was malfunctioning. I contacted Assurant back and they stated the phone was under warranty and that I had to contact Apple. Once I contacted Apple and explained my situation they sent me information about cosmetic scratches on iPhone 7.

I have been with T-Mobile for 6 years. A few times over the years T-Mobile deactivated my account because of a billing error on their part. I have auto-pay and T-Mobile has my information so they can deduct the monthly service fee. My checking account has never been low on funds, so if there are errors in deducting the monthly amount, it is not My problem, it is T-Mobile’s inability to connect. But instead of working on the problem, T-Mobile simply cuts off my service and turns off auto-pay to try next month. Therefore, I’m without service for a month. No communication! When I figure that out, I contact T-Mobile and they are unable to do anything except take my authorization to pay over the phone.
What’s the point in having auto-pay, if it doesn’t work!!! This has happened at least 2 times in the past 3 months!

The visual voicemail and regular voicemail no longer syncs, and I am not notified when I have a regular message.
I feel like I was conned into this contract so they could get my money. The phones have bad reception, I am not getting the data speed and amounts I am supposed to, and I am stuck without even owning the phones when it's over. T-Mobile sucks.

T-Mobile conned me out of $32.20. They sold me an unusable product, gave me the runaround for 32 days, and finally told me that they would not refund my money (after previously agreeing to it). 2 stores, 5 phone reps, and 8 web CSR – a total of 90 miles of driving and about 30 hours of my life that I could not get back, was spent on an attempt to figured out WHY this item wouldn’t work, and if it was no other way to salvage it. Nobody in the stores knew why it wouldn’t work, I called and was transferred to FIVE different person (the first three said they didn’t handle it and didn’t know why they were transferred the call) and the floor supervisor who was the 5th person decided to hang up on me after she said she was working on my request. Finally web CSR #5 figured out what the issue was and web CSR #6 said she was getting me a refund, but it took 7-10 business days to process.
I replied and asked if I was all set regarding the refund or if there’s anything I need to do, eighteen minutes later web CSR #7 said that “it’s processing right now so there’s nothing you would have to do on your end-..” On the 16th business day after that conversation, nothing went back to my account, so I contacted them again. Web CSR #8 said that she wasn’t seeing any record of it even though they had submitted it. She said she resubmitted it and that it took fifteen business days to process. Yesterday, which marked a week after that last communication, she messaged me and said that the refund did not get approved. If this was exhausting for you to read, imagine actually going through it.
The product was a 21-day tourist plan SIM card. It’s a temporary phone number under a service plan that is only good for 21 days effective the date it’s activated. Our first attempt to activate it was less than 10 days after the item arrived. There really was nowhere on the product information that said there’s an X amount of time that number/SIM card must be activated upon purchase. When the item arrived I didn’t even open the packaging until the time it was activated. On the back side of the SIM card package there was an instruction of how to use it: Get the SIM card out of the package, put it in your phone, dial a number to activate it, and you’re all set to use it. Simple enough, supposedly. Yet, it didn’t happen. Would not activate.
We thought it might be the phones, or maybe we did something wrong, so we decided to go to the store the next day. Next day at the store, spent about 3 hours there, the associates couldn’t figure out why it wouldn’t activate. They sent us home with an advice to try activating it again in 24 hours. The next day we decided to drive about 80 miles to a more touristy town, figured they might have a bit more experience dealing with this type of product. Brought four unlocked phones with us, overseas iPhone, overseas Android phone, local iPhone, local Android phone. We thought if the issues were the phone, one of these sure would have worked. At that store, the associate pretty much determined it was not a phone issue, it was the number. Still, he could not figure out why it would not activate. Again, we were sent home with basically an apology and he didn’t know why, and maybe try again in 24 hours.
That afternoon around 4pm I called the number on the Packing Slip, to acquire a Return Authorization Number (as instructed on the sheet) and figured we gave up on it. We were going to return it, and go somewhere else to buy a prepaid card. It’s a tourist plan for my brother during his 3-week visit, and we were already in day three of not having a working phone number. I won’t repeat my experience with the phone CSR (I explained above), but it was 80 minutes of a complete waste of my time, only to get hung up in the end by a supervisor. I contacted them on the web, with the original intention of returning the product, but these people were so great and so professional, they gave me a glimpse of hope that maybe, just maybe, we can get this SIM card to work, so I didn’t have to go to the store to buy another thing.
The Messenger messages went back and forth, with the shift change it got carried on to the next day. Finally, the next day at 8:11am someone figured out the root of the problem. I was told that this was activated as a tourist plan and it wasn’t working because it’s no longer active. Ding ding ding!!! So that would be why. So why would T-Mobile sent me an inactive number, that was already activated- activated by who?? Surely wasn’t me, which was the very reason I contacted them at the first place, because we could not activate it.
We opened the packaging (broke the plastic seal that wrapped the SIM card packaging), took the brand new SIM card (or we thought so- it looked so), and put it in the phone. Did not work. Could not use it. And of course they subtly hinting that this was purchased a long time ago, that this type of product was supposed to be activated right away, blah blah blah. There were no such things mentioned anywhere in the product information that the sealed SIM card must be activated immediately upon leaving their warehouse. Expecting a relative visit from overseas, I know dates and time, and things were planned accordingly- including the timing of purchase and activation of this temporary phone number.
Long story short, approx. 2.5 hours later, they said, “We will be refunding your $32.20, but where your services do not work, and we cannot activate the SIM, it will be like this plan didn’t happen.” So I went to Best Buy and bought another prepaid SIM card. It worked great. And here we are, a month later (21 business days), I received a message from a T-Mobile web CSR, “…at this current time, the refund did not get approved as we had hoped.”
You can keep the $32.20, T-Mobile. I got the experience. I learned the lesson, and I am sharing it. Do note that I have the backup for everything that I said. And while all the written response was friendly, long, professional, and scripted, it didn’t change the fact that you shamelessly took $32.20 out of your customer’s pocket and sent them an unusable product. Congratulation on doing the right thing, not. I will never, ever, again, considering T-Mobile for any of my cellular/wireless needs. Or for any needs, for that matter. There are way too many choices out there. And if you hang around this long to read my post, reviews matter. I repeat, there are other options out there. Better options.

The bill cycle didn’t make sense and then when I canceled my phone and made sure I paid off my last device they said that I owe him the $80.
Normally in my account is 115 and they said that two of my devices were active after I had called and confirm to make sure that they canceled my account with them. Long story short they lied and said they were going to give it back but it will mess up my credit. And so they kept the 80$. That may not be a lot to a lot of people but when you had to leave your job to move to Puerto Rico to help family out, then yeah it’s a lot and it came from my savings account. So, they said I also was going to bill the next month even after I’m with another phone company. So guys don’t do autopay as amazing it may sound. PLEASE DON'T DO AUTOPAY IF YOU CHOSE T-MOBILE.

I probably shouldn't complain because this product is so cheap. I use it infrequently for my side business, but it needs to be reliable. Unfortunately, the payment model is a little shady and they deactivate your account WITH NO WARNING and no feedback until it's too late, so you need to be vigilant about checking your account status.
The $3/month claim is kind of shady. You have to pay a minimum of $10 at a time, and if there is not at least $3 in your account when the month rolls over, your account is quietly deactivated. So you're never really able to use the full value that you put in, which is frustrating, even though it's a small amount. On top of having your service go dark out of nowhere, they charge another buck to turn it back on. I'm sure this adds up for T-Mobile or they wouldn't do it.
Somehow I got charged for extra texts within the first 3 month period, despite not having gone over my minutes or texts. I counted them like a crazy person, and complained to customer service until they appeased me in some way I don't remember. Definitely don't leave it up to them to track your usage or warn you when it's time to load your account.

Just got back from a twenty-five day trip to Europe - Paris, Munich, Salzburg, and London. I have the T-Mobile 1 plan that claims unlimited texting and unlimited data. The texting worked fine, sometimes a bit slow when adding a photo to the text, but generally OK. Unfortunately, the “unlimited data” that T-Mobile claims was so slow and spotty that it was next to useless. I mostly tried to use their unlimited data for Google Maps.

While everyone is extremely nice... don’t fall for it. I switched from Sprint to T-Mobile in March. I had to pay off one phone with Sprint, pay the bill, and turn in 3 phones before I could activate with T-Mobile. T-Mobile stayed by 2 people that the Promotion was 150.00 gift card per line and I didn’t need to do anything else. Soooo, cards never came so I called. Now told that I had to submit my final bill, which I did but they have no record of, and that they never had a promotion like that. They now say I’m outside the 30 days to submit for the promotion. Each bill is different... never consistent. The service is ok but I don’t like false advertising and liars. Will be going elsewhere at the end of my contract.

For years I have had this company for my cellphone usage. Probably for 20 years. Last October I lost or accidentally misplaced my phone. I usually find it within 2-3 weeks and when I didn't I called to have them temporarily cancel my service until I found my phone. They told me they would and I would no longer receive any bills. Since I am partially blind I was trying to buy a new phone in a bright color so if it would get misplaced I would be able to see it, unlike the current one that is missing.
I am a Senior and disabled so I could not afford to pay full price for one. I did find a phone but when I took it to the store to activate it I was told it would not work with their system. I tried several times with different phones and the last one was almost 100% sure it would work. When I called T-Mobile they told me I would need a SIM card and would send me one free since I had been a customer for so many years. I never did receive it and called them and was told to buy one at the store and they would give me a $25 credit. I expected my service would at that time be resumed and this would go toward my first month bill. Well this phone also did not work.
After so many months of being without one someone suggested that I contact T-Mobile since they were losing money as I did not have the service and ask them to provide a phone for me. I contacted them yesterday and it seemed the whole deal they made with me was nothing but a lie. I was told that they were billing me every month but then crediting my account. This money that I paid out of pocket was used to credit my account back in Feb and that I would not receive it. This was not what I agreed on nor was it what their representative told me. Another lie!!!
This makes no sense to me. Right here you can tell that they owe me. They agreed to send me a free SIM card which they would not charge me for so why are they flipping this around on me? Now I find that they put a charge of $8.68 on my credit card that I never agreed upon. A lesson learned. Never be faithful to any business as they are only interested in you to obtain your money and will lie and cheat just to keep you hanging on and using their product.
