    I switched to T-Mobile because they claim I had excellent coverage for my area. Our family purchased four phones. It has been the worse service I ever had. I use my phone for business and have lost clients. After about ten calls to customer service they finally said "so sorry we can't give you the service you need but you will still have to pay the balance of 1100 dollars for the four phones!" I bought my phone thinking they can provide me service!!! This is unfair games! They also tried to blame the service on the iPhones we had and told me to call Apple and have them exchange all the phones for new ones since it has been less than a year. The Apple service agent laughed so did I and he did a third party call with to T-Mobile to let them know how ridiculous and desperate they sounded.

    I woke up this morning to a client telling me when she tried to leave a message my phone said it was out of service. I don't get most of my messages and have to call in to retrieve them. Most of the time my phone won't even ring. My sister has to walk in her backyard to call me because of no signal. As soon as I can pay off this phone they will lose the four of us forever!!!

    I purchased a family plan for $100 from T-Mobile store in October 2014. In the beginning, everything was promising and I was happy about my new plan. However, that happiness didn't last long. About a month or so later I saw an ad at the store about free (Alcatel one touch) tablets with free data. I thought it was too good to be true. I asked the store manager whether or not it was true. She told me it was true, and that all I needed to pay is the tax and $10 for the SIM. Before purchasing the tablets, I talked to another sales person at the store to double make sure, and he reassured me that I would get free tablets with free data. Then, I went ahead and purchased the tablets.

    I received a very small amount of data for the first month, and then they didn't give me any data for the following month. I talked to the store associate about that issue, and he said he would look into that. I took my time and thought they would fix it sometimes, but I never got back the data. The big issue is here. Every month I would get higher bill than it was supposed to be, and I would go to the store, and the manager would fix the bill for me. It kept happening every month. Each time, either the manager or the assistant manager would correct the bill for me, and then I would pay at the store. Every time I asked them why the bill was high, they would mention different reasons for that.

    Last month, eventually, the assistant manager told me that it wasn't actually free tablets and data. He said in order to have the tablets for free I had to have the $10 data plan on each tablet. When I asked him why didn't they tell me that from the beginning so I wouldn't get myself into this, he said they didn't know that either. I feel that they were either incompetent, or they knowingly fooled me into buying these tablets.

    I talked to Loyalty Department and explained everything to them. They said I should talk to Customer Relations (CR) department. I wrote an email to CR explaining what happened, and I received a call a couple days later. At first, I thought the lady who called me was going to help resolve my issue. She said she will contact the store and get back with me. When she called me back, all she was trying to do was to convince me that I was wrong and T-Mobile was an angel. I tried to explain to her that the store manager should have made it clear from the beginning and not wait until it is too late to return the tablets, but she didn't want to understand me. This is the worst customer service I've ever received from any company.

    T-Mobile doesn't want to take any responsibility for what they've done. I've decided to leave T-Mobile and never come back. Now, since I'm canceling the service, I have to pay the full price for the tablets. What T-Mobile did to me is very unethical. I think they should review their code of ethics. T-Mobile will never have loyal customers unless they start respecting them. If they keep treating their customers like this, they will eventually end up losing them all.

    We have been with T-Mobile for about a month. It was the worst decision my husband and I made. We are in a 4G LTE area according to their map but we don't get good service at all. Spoke with customer service. They stated the towers are being modified in our area. If we knew the service was going to be this bad we would've stayed with our previous carrier. We will probably be switching back to if the service does not improve.

    I had my number ported from AT&T to T-Mobile prepaid, since they offered the best rates, and the reception where live and work (Colorado Springs) is acceptable. Also, I used to be a loyal T-Mobile customer many years ago, but was in a way forced to switched to AT&T since they were the only GSM carrier offering the iPhone 3GS at the time. Going back to T-Mobile turned out to be a huge mistake, and it turns out that you really get what you pay for. When I originally signed up for a T-Mobile plan in 2004, they had a reputation of having outstanding customer service. That is no longer the case. They have by far one the worst, and the most inept customer service that I have ever had the experience of having to deal with.

    It seems that in order to offer such low rates, they've outsourced their customer service department. I personally have no issues with outsourcing, or having to speak with someone living in a foreign country to resolve a problem with a product or service... However, I do not think it is too much to ask that the customer service representative at a minimum knowledgeable of the product, is able to quickly understand a problem and actually be able to do more than read from a script, and apologize for the inconveniences. Fortunately, I am not tied to this company. I will be taking my phone number and my business elsewhere.

    I have experience the worst customer service ever. There is no coverage in my home and I have to be on calls and visiting stores for the past 10 days straight and still you guys couldn't send me the right kind of router or white or even 4G booster. I asked for a 4G booster and twice two times in a row they sent me the wifi so sell router and not the 4G booster. They just don't seem to understand. They're very careless handling customer request.

    First they charge me $50 a month, and I was fine with that. Thinking since it was $50 I would have great service with customer service and tethering. Not only do employees argue with me and get me more riled up, but they are saying I have to pay MORE for tethering to my phone!!! I'M ALREADY PAYING $50!!! If I want crap service, I'll go to family mobile for $25 a month. That way I get what I pay for. Never wasting my $ with their thieving plans anymore.

    4/24/2015 I called T-Mobile concerning a cancelled account and billing. My son and I went to the T-Mobile store in 3/2014 to transfer service from Verizon to T-Mobile. (Huge mistake) T-Mobile did not have the iPhone 5s 32GB in stock. Therefore we had to wait for delivery of the phone. However, the sales representative advised he could activate a number and we could Port the number from Verizon to T-Mobile. Sound simple right. Well not the case for T-Mobile Customer support team. The original remained active for the whole year even after many calls to customer support. The billing remained $80 per month for a whole year; when the billing was suppose to be $50 a month for unlimited everything.

    Due to the bad service and atrocious customer support, my son transported his number back to Verizon. I then receive an April 2015 bill for 219.53. Today 4/25/2015 I spent literally 1 hour 56 minutes on the phone with T-Mobile. I was transferred from Customer Service-Customer Retention-Customer Financial- Customer Financial Manager-back to Customer Support-Customer Support Team Leader (that's what she said she was)- Customer Support Manager named **. I spoke to 7 different people. I was not asking for credit for the whole year that I paid an extra $30 for service that I was not getting. I was asking for credit for the one month of charges since my son turned off the account. It was not until I spoke to ** that this was granted.

    So I called T-Mobile trying to cancel my account which sounds simple enough. However this was not the case. I was transferred a total of 6 times, back and forth like something out of a bad comedy, before I couldn't take it anymore. I hung up with my final words being "CANCEL MY ACCOUNT." Well apparently that wasn't good enough because I got a call from T-Mobile about two months later stating I was past due on my account which had never been closed. I told the gentleman to kindly close my account and he promised me that it was done, closed over. However it was not over. I got a call from T-Mobile again saying I still owed for my account which was never closed.

    My mind was blown. They never closed my account and didn't even have a record of me talking to anyone the second time I cancelled my account. This company is ridiculous. They say they're gonna save you money but after all their fees you end up spending more than when you were at Sprint. And then they can't even cancel a simple account. Don't deal with T-Mobile!!!

    I took my daughter to T-mobile to get a new sim card for my daughter for her birthday gift, February 22. As I talked to one of the employees, I ask her to ring it up. The lady at T-mobile said she would check and as the whole process was going on, she charged me $69.95 for the plan and the activation fee. She told me everything was done and that all she needed to do was wait for the phone to load and activate. She said that it didn't work and that she would try again. After she tried everything from turning it off to call the manager, she said she didn't know. I asked her about if the phone was unblocked like I had asked in the beginning, she was like "oh let me check."

    I was really upset because I asked her in the beginning if she checked it but she never answered me. Now that my daughter could not use the sim card on her phone and the plan was not used, I asked for a refund and she told me "we don't do that here." I would have to call the 1800 number to get the issue resolved because there was nothing they could do about it. My daughter took me to work, she all upset on her birthday and she called T-mobile that same time. One of the representatives told her that it was the store's issue and she as to go back and they have to give her money back no matter what.

    My daughter went back with my husband and the manager said that "it is not us that is supposed to give the money back, it's them." My daughter told him, she called them just now and they said they had to give her money back. The manager told her to call the 1800 number again and let them talk to him. After the conversation, he went try to give the money back and he tried several times and said he would have to do separate transactions. My daughter got the activation fee back of $16.01 and the plan, she wasn't able to get back. The manager said that he wasn't able to give back the $53.90 back and that the 1800 number had to. My daughter didn't leave the store until she got an answer from the T-mobile 1800 number and they told her, they would return the money the next day.

    When the next day came around, they said they would process the money in three days. Three days come later, they said again, it would take time for them to process the money and that I would receive a call. I never got a call and I went to check in my bank statement and I didn't see anything either. I called back again and this time, they told me they didn't see no notes in the system. Everyone who has called the t-mobile number, knows they document everything they say.

    For the fact they said that they have no note that they said anything was a big lie and that has set me off. I spent money for my daughter for her birthday to get her phone fixed and now, they lied and telling me they will not return the money to me. They made me spent hours on the phone, lying about they are looking for the notes, to tell me later they will not return it and have no proof they said that. What makes no sense to me is, how the store originally returns the activation money but not the plan itself. Not getting anywhere with the 1800 number, I called the local store we went to again and now the manager told me, I would never get the money back.

    It has been months, going back and forth with T-mobile local store and the 1800 number. Money doesn't grow on tree but apparently, I think T-mobile doesn't seem to understand. They have me back and forth with terrible customer service, lies, and the lack of knowledge of what is going on. For the fact that they can't return the money, really ruined my daughter's birthday and makes me look at T-mobile at a terrible perspective.

    T-Mobile offered me a 15% company discount to switch to their carrier. So I switched to T-Mobile and purchased two new T-Mobile ready phones. However, once I started receiving bills and inquired about why my discount was not applied, I learned that T-Mobile was refusing to honor the 15% discount they promised me. T-Mobile claimed my company's discount program expired one year prior. I have been in a dispute with T-Mobile for more than 3 weeks but just keep getting passed from one representative to the next. It appears they have no intention of honoring the discount.

    I purchased a LG Flex phone outright last year. My phone started to have problems with holding a charge and then the accuracy of the phone itself. Before the year warranty I went to the local t-mobile store. A new one (Let's call it #2) was ordered to replace my old one (Let's call it #1). It arrived the next day and then I was able to spend a mere 7 hours at the T-Mobile store to try to transfer apps, contacts and pictures to #2. But it was clear that #2 also had a weak battery and was a refurb that wasn't really refurbed. I called John Legere's office and spoke to their representative.

    Through the course of two calls lasting at least an hour, it became clear that in a sweet but firm way the representative has been taught to lie and change the focus of the conversation. I was told that they could not send a new phone because - Lie #1 - LG no longer made a flex. Lie #2 - that LG would not sell a flex to T-Mobile. I went so far as to offer to bet her several thousand dollars that I was sure LG would be more than happy to sell T-Mobile a new flex. She changed the focus of the conversation. Many times she offered to sell me another phone.

    Clearly T-Mobile stops carrying stock before 1 year and wants to make money by giving customers defective, old units that were someone's problem. Replacing a phone that cost $750 and under warranty is not something they have any desire or willingness to do. And adding lies to injury is something that is totally within their practice.

    I live in NYC, which I think most people would assume would have pretty legit coverage by most carriers (including T-Mobile). Issues:

    1. Receiving Text Messages: I receive messages 30 minutes to multiple hours after people send them to me.
    2. Sending Text Messages: There's a 50% chance that I get a "Text can't be sent" error when sending a text, even when I have full bars of 4G.
    3. Receiving Calls: About a 50% chance that incoming calls do not make my phone ring AT ALL (even when set to Wi-Fi calling). Instead, I magically get a voicemail out of nowhere.

    4. Making Calls: When on Wi-Fi calling, a lot of times the call rings once and then my phone automatically hangs up.

    T-Mobile is affordable, but you you're paying for a headache. Spend the extra money for a carrier that provides service works. T-Mobile service DOES NOT WORK MOST OF THE TIME.

    Ended up canceling service with T-Mobile about 5 months ago, best decision ever! When I canceled I had my phone paid off, my payments were 77 per month and I had been with T-Mobile for around 4 years. The rep told me I would only have to pay my last phone bill and that would be it. I paid it, switched my number to a different provider, and then a month later I noticed T-Mobile took $178 out of my acct. I called and asked what the hell they thought they were doing and that I was promised that I would no longer be charged and that my service was canceled. They refused to give me my money back for an hour. They said they would only be able to refund half of the $178, and that I would get a check via mail in about a month.

    That was in December, and I still haven't received a check. Those morons have no intention of refunding me. They are the worst people to work with. Seriously, never ever go through T-mobile! They only care about money, no matter how they get it, even if they steal it apparently. They have the worst customer service and the worst coverage. Unlimited data is bull, after 2gb my internet was so slow that dial up could beat it. Nothing would load, even when I had full bars. I currently go through sprint, and honestly it is the best coverage I've ever had. I have unlimited data and it doesn't slow down after 2, 4, 6, or 20gb. I would compare T-Mobiles coverage to Cricket. It is horrible. If you decide to go with T-Mobile have fun paying full price for $700 phones too.

And because of that, 'cause it was removed, the ONLY thing I can do is exchange it for a new one for a $175 charge. And if You take to the Apple Store they'll charge You more." wtf!! I have to pay $175 for something that is missing and I didn't do!?

And final, You just purchase this a month ago. You have a 1 year warranty and We'll exchange it for a New one for FREE!"

    I returned to the Van Nuys store. Manager comes out with an attitude, rolling her eyes and hurrying me up, and telling Me she has other customers. I told Her what Apple had told Me, that she was blaming and assuring I had removed something that wasn't even there in the first place.

    I switched to T-Mobile from Verizon because I thought it would be cheaper. The website says $150/month for 3 lines... when you go in the store they say $150/month for three lines. Coming from Verizon $150 for 3 lines means 3 lines including phones. T-Mobile is $150/Month for 3 lines, not including phones. You pay for the phones separately, but they are not forthcoming with that info in the store. There are no contracts, but you have to pay off the phones before you can switch carriers, and that would be a big chunk of $$. So I am currently stuck with T-Mobile until I can pay off or pay down the phones. That $150 bill that I was told is now $250 per month. That was mostly my fault for not gathering more information, and being thorough.

    My main complaint is concerning reception. My work is in Brownsburg, IN my phone says I have "LTE" coverage but I have had more than 10 dropped calls, and no one can ever hear me on the other end of the phone because the reception is so distorted, and of such bad quality. If you're thinking about switching from Verizon... I would not choose T-Mobile, or if you do make sure to gather ALL the information, and make a very informed decision. I'm going to switch back as soon as I pay off my three phones.

    After 11 years with T-Mobile, I switched to CRICKET who offered a much better deal at flat rate. I purposely called T-Mobile at the end of my billing cycle. A month and half later, they send me "the final bill" which is $103.08, which basically is a FULL MONTH OF SERVICE without the service. When I called, I was told that it was printed in "The Service Agreement". I did everything I was told. I waited until the contract expired, I cancelled at the end of billing cycle and yet, they want another full month! I cannot believe that T-Mobile is getting away with it. This is a major rip-off. And I know nobody will do anything about it. And then they bill for calls that I could not have made because I was already with the other carrier! BEWARE OF T-MOBILE!! Terrible service, customer service is unprofessional and they lie. Get everything they promise you in WRITING!

    I bought a screen protector for my cell phone, I even thanked her kindly for putting it on for me especially since we had issues with exchanging my phone. I had less than 24 hours and they were trying to charge me a $50 restocking fee after I was told was only $5 when I called an hour before I had walked in their store. She then smiles a fake smile and says to me "in case you try and take this back for a refund, I've put it on so you can't". Then says "hope you enjoy your phone", and yelled the next customers name in line. I had no intention on taking the screen protector back and I have never left a store in tears before or have even thought about writing a review on anybody or any company at any time in my life. I regret leaving AT&T because of their friendly customer service I always received, but they were too expensive is the only reason I switched to T Mobile.

    Yes, I was a customer for almost ten years. I complained all the time of no signal. I broke down on a back road last year. No signal on my phone. No one to help me. I was stranded for almost 4 hours. Never got a signal. A farmer finally stopped. When I got to the big road and had a signal, I called T-mobile. The girl told me if I did not like their service I should go somewhere else. I did, then I lost my job barely making it. Tried to make arrangements to pay my bill and my phones every month. They would not go for that, said they had to have it all at one time. that was over a thousand dollars. I want to use galaxy s5 on prepaid but they blocked it.

    I purchased a very expensive phone from T-Mobile and 3 months later, it is not charging. T-Mobile sends me a "refurbished" phone with less Samsung warranty on it than mine has. And who knows where it has been or has happened to it? So I again call our "friendly but lying" T-Mobile who tells me Samsung sends the phones not them and only Samsung can authorize a new phone. Just as I thought. T-Mobile does NOT care about their customers who have been with T Mobile a long long time. They just want to lie and scam.

    After finding out the truth I call T-Mobile back and this girl tells me, "Oh we will send you a new phone. Let me get you over to the person that will do that." LOL UH HUH. And he starts in with the same line of lies and tells me I can do what I want to do about 15 times. I finally told him to stop telling me what I CAN DO every time I tell him what I am going to do. ** is his name....and he said he was going to record everything. Wanna bet on that one???

    Folks, I will be walking advertisement against T Mobile, who by the way has one of the highest number of complaints in the customer service area. I could not believe the number and that T-Mobile does not care to do anything to resolve them. They say they care and don't like to hear this but it is all talk. Do NOT buy a phone from T-Mobile. Buy it from the manufacturer and you can get a MUCH better warranty elsewhere. They are everywhere. And T-Mobile's warranty is worthless unless you have a new phone and want a refurbished one. Seriously??? I am sending letters to CEO and everyone else I can think of; not that they care or will do anything.

    We have been "loyal" customers for three years, and during those three years we have had issues with billing - specifically, we will be charged for services not requested by us; or our rate plan will be changed without our consent. Our bill fluctuated for years between $150 and $200+, and every time we called we were given b.s., which we swallowed because we thought, well, they must be right. However, this past year we have been getting the same letter (I finally realized I had to start keeping a record so, I have about 4 of them) in the mail from T-Mobile notifying us that we have been declined for credit. I do not understand, and neither does my husband because we already have the devices we need and we have not applied for any credit or services.

    I called T-Mobile and the reps response was that their system was automatically sending them out to consumers, and that we should just disregard the mistake. Ok, we did. But something tells me there is something wrong. It has not been resolved; I got the same letter in the mail a couple of weeks ago. This morning I called T-Mobile because of an issue with billing, again. Our bill went from $149 to $218! My husband recently did get a new device because his previous $700 Samsung Galaxy just died after only 2 years. (He lost ALL photos and videos, and was told there was no way to retrieve any of them.) He had to replace it and so got the Samsung Galaxy S4, and now has to pay for that device and the previous p.o. **. So, we knew our bill would be slightly higher, but $218? He called T-Mobile yesterday, and they gave him some b.s. and said they 'fixed' the problem and that our bill would be cheaper.

    This morning we discover neither his nor my phone has any data! Why would someone want such a 'fancy' phone (Galaxy S4) and not have any data? My husband had unlimited data previously, and now has none. I had 1GB of FREE data, and now I have none. The rep said that they changed our rate plan to a cheaper (by $30) rate plan because we are such "loyal" customers; BUT we no longer have any data. I know my husband would not have asked for such a change - he needs unlimited data. And I need no more than 1GB of my free data. When I asked the rep to put us back on the plan we had previously, she said they no longer offer it, but we can get unlimited data for one line for $30 extra, and I can have 30MB of data free. 30 MEGAbytes? I told them no. I want what I had before. She could not even connect me to her supervisor. I hung up, and called again.

    The second rep 'tried' to help me, but gave me inconsistent answers, and also said he could not give me that old rate plan. He said that my husband asked for this new plan (that is not what the previous rep told me; she made it seem as though T-Mobile made that decision for us). I asked him if I would be able to get a copy of any transcripts of previous conversations with reps and he asked 'for what purpose'. I explained that there was something wrong. Someone was misunderstanding, and it could not be us because we know what we want and had. He said that 'not much was recorded' from the conversation that occurred between my husband and yesterday's rep. I asked for the number to the complaint department - they don't have one, he said. I asked for the website - he said his supervisor would have to submit the complaint for me! How do I know the supervisor will be honest? I am the victim! He is not.

    So, I spoke to the supervisor and he tells me that he can get a quicker response. Also, I asked him the same question about what conversations are recorded and if he knew whether my husband's call was recorded yesterday, and he said that there is no way to know whether it was recorded or not because it was a different call center! One of them lied. I have never gotten a straight answer from any of the T-Mobile reps or supervisors. When we call: Our rate plan most of the time is changed, or something is added without our consent (even though they say we do give our consent; and no transcripts are available so I am to assume they are being honest?).

    And forget going to the T-Mobile stores. Their 'help', promotions and services are rarely ever the same as those we can get online or by phone. And when you (or just us?) do purchase a new phone the SIM card is kept by the store! I asked once for the SIM card and the salesperson said it would be $24.95 to purchase the SIM card! I told him "I just paid for the whole box and all its contents, which includes the SIM card!” He said that that was not the way it worked, and that our SIM card to the phone we want replaced can be used still. So, I lost maybe 3 SIM cards that way over the past 10 years. (I had T-Mobile previously and left because I was tired of them. My husband has us under T-Mobile now.)

    What can I do now? This is infuriating! Yes, I can walk away and go to a different company, but T-Mobile will continue to do the same to others. And what about all the money I know has been ripped-off from us, and the much more that I most likely lost and just don't know about? What can I do?

    I never write reviews, much less bad ones. Even when I have been very dissatisfied with a service or product, I usually just let it go. However, I feel that I need to warn consumers about the ethics of T-Mobile. Previous to switching over to T-Mobile, my husband and I were customers of a great company. We weren't unhappy with them at all, but we needed to lower our monthly bill. That's when we made the switch to T-Mobile. Oh boy, do I wish we had done our research. We were very unhappy with the service we received, both cellular and customer. Our phones would randomly cut out in the oddest of places. Obviously, we needed to change services.

    I find it funny that their slogan for their "Ditch to Switch" program is "We're giving you every reason to ditch the carrier who's wronged you!" Trust me when I say that if you switch from T-Mobile to another carrier, they will make you pay dearly for wronging THEM. My husband and I had to set up a payment plan to pay off the final bill owed, which included what we owed on the cell phones as well. We had it set up so that a monthly payment would be drafted from our account monthly. Everything was just fine until today.

    For the past couple of days, I had received phone calls on my cell phone during my working hours. I cannot answer my cell phone during that time. Out of all of those calls, not one voicemail was left. Sure, I could have just called the number back. However, I get a lot of calls for someone other than myself. If I don't recognize the number and a voicemail is not recorded, I do not call the number back. My husband received a couple of calls on his phone as well and he did answer one of them today. The individual on the other end asked for me specifically. When my husband inquired about who they were, they would not say and refused to speak with him. Upon my return from work, my husband told me about this incident and I confirmed that the phone number was the same one from which I received missed calls. I called the number only to find that T-Mobile had apparently turned me over to collections for a missed payment in March.

    At this point there are probably some people thinking that I'm just pissed off at T-Mobile for sending me to collections and that my husband and I need to pay our bills. However, that is not the case. If it were, I wouldn't be writing this review. There were definitely sufficient funds in the account from which our payments are drafted. My husband called T-Mobile to figure out why the payment wasn't drafted. He also explained to the representative that we were never given a phone call or any other type of notification regarding the matter. He was simply told that "the situation is out of our hands." What? We know and we have proof that we had the funds in the account to cover a payment... a payment that was never drafted. The entire situation is fishy.

    As much as we wanted to fight them on the situation (and we may still), we called the collections company back and paid the full balance in order to keep it from being reflected on my credit score. What a fiasco. I will never, ever refer anyone to T-Mobile. Everything about their company is fraudulent, from their supposed unlimited data to their payment plans for those wishing to exit a horrible service. Don't fall for their gimmicks.

Then in about Sept 2014 I call t-mobile and told them about the line that I was not using and they recommended me to temporarily suspend the line until the end of contract so I would not have to pay contract termination fee, so I did.

    The contract terminated in January, so I thought that I was over with t-mobile. Now it results that t-mobile is being very generous and forgive me my debt of all this termination ordeal, but that I still have pay a collection's debt that t-mobile transfer them since April 2014, and since it is already in collection, t-mobile can't answer any questions.

    How difficult can it be to figure out what happened to a payment? Well, I started off with online chat, but find that they cannot really resolve payment issues (then why have a selection called "Billing and Payments" in the chat box??). So I had to call them up on the phone (which I avoid based on past experience) -- I get transferred around because apparently nobody is able to resolve anything. All they can tell me is that the "payment did not happen" according to their system. I finally got to a payments supervisor who said that the payment was not a payment; it was just a pre-authorization and due to a "technical issue," the charge to my bank account did not actually go through. They accused my bank of making a mistake. I called my bank, and with the first person I reached confirmed that indeed there was a payment made to T-Mobile. Duh!

    The bank now is leading the dispute process and I am *so* out of it. I do not think that T-Mobile really wanted to cheat me out of my money. I think they're just managerially incompetent. Each support person can only speak to a very small part of the problem. So the customer is passed all over the place.

We were continually told that they were working on our issues and things would improve. They did NOT improve... I was going weeks at a time with no service, missing business calls.

According to T-mobile they will only pay the termination fee not the taxes that are associated with the termination. I called and spoke with someone at T-mobile who told me that the taxes are a federal issue and not something that T-mobile deals with or would reimburse.

    I must say since I signed up with T-mobile it has been a nightmare. It took over 3 hours to switch my plans over to them in the first place.

    I have been with T-Mobile for over 7 year but for the last year or so, T-Mobile has really got over on me. They offered me a free broadband service. They said I wouldn't pay anything. Well they fail to tell me it was a six-month promotion and after six months, they would start billing you and after I noticed that I was paying for the service, I call customer service and I found that they were the most inconsiderate liars I have ever did business with. All the customer service rep could say was, "I am sorry you were misinformed and we will stop the service now and we cannot refund you your money back."

    When my contract is up, I am moving on to a new service because if you can do this to a loyal customers of seven years, what else are you capable of cheating me out of. And I think they have the worst customer service ever.

    So after 6 years of service, T-Mobile has finally driven me to another carrier.

    2 weeks ago I used some of my tax return to pay off mine and my wife's phones. This was on a Saturday. Starting that Monday, my wife and I began to have an issue known as a one way call. I could hear the person on the other end of the call fine, but they either heard me as a robot, or far away, or not at all. My wife's phone was doing the same thing. This problem continued to get worse.

    For 2 weeks now my problem has not been fixed. I have been given every excuse in the book by Technical Support. And I find it funny that with every new call I make, the new person helping me says they don't know why I was given the instructions the previous tech support gave me. I was even told by one tech support that one tower was out in my area, and another was being upgraded. I was then told on my next call that this isn't true.

    Aside from being without a properly working cell phone for 2 weeks, the fact that customer support would lie to me about an outage instead of trying to find the true problem is both insulting and distrustful. T-mobile has had me switch my SIM card, get a replacement phone, drop wifi, use only wifi, drop to 2G only networks, and master reset my phone. None of this has worked. I asked for a different number temporary to determine if it was the network or hardware, but they are unwilling to do it. When I threatened to leave the network, they told me they would too in this situation, like they didn't care.

    I don't know what happened to our phones but I feel like either T-Mobile thinks we are getting too good of a deal so they are sabotaging our service, or since our phones are paid off, they are sabotaging our phones so we have to spend money on new ones. Either way, i am done with such a dishonest service.

    A customer that wasn't worth your time to help.

    I am really upset with what T-mobile did to my fee. Monthly they tracked me down for $500 because I did paid more than 1.5k for all devices (installment). I called in Customer Services, one staff answered it happened because I didn't go to the store to pay directly; therefore, all the money to be transfer into credit and will be deducted for monthly fee, not installment. T-mobile did it twice to my family. The first time, we paid off for an iphone, the money goes to be credit to pay off monthly service fee while my husband already set up automatic payment on his bank account for service fee. This is the second time, they did with my family. So, I will have to pay forever for the installment fee even I did paid through My T-mobile account for more than 1.5k. I suggest to T-mobile company that you should shut down your website because it is useless and trouble for customers.

    T-Mobile is the worst you could switch to. I have had AT&T, Sprint, even Metro PCS and never had a problem. Ok so I had Sprint and I decide to go cheap and switched to T-Mobile, get the family plan in September. Well everything went fine at first until November when we decided to switch our two tablets from Sprint for a cell phone and a tablet from T-Mobile. They agreed to pay the cancellation fee and pay us $20 for each tab. Ok so they did the contracts. We were told to pay the cancellation fee for Sprint and we would get reimbursed. We paid.

    Well in February they started messing with our lines, cut our data and my wife got tired of it so she switched to her sister's line who also had T-Mobile. Well the next month in March we find out they can't pay for our cancellation fee. One because the phone that was switched to my sisters in law was not under my account anymore and two they couldn't locate the other tablet so we paid 390 for 2 tablets to Sprint that T-mobile kept and only gave us $20. T-Mobile is full of **. We called customer service went to the store, called their managers - no one could help us out like wtf. What a rip off.

    I purchased the handset device from T-Mobile from a Rosedale, NY location on 03/03/2015 at 7:29pm. The store was just about to close and I didn't was to be a pest. After I purchase the phone the representative asked if I knew how to activate the phone in which I replied (yes). They placed the unopened device the T-Mobile bag with the receipt. The first week I did not open the device because I needed to transfer my info into the new device. I proceeded to open and activate the device within the second week of purchasing the phone and used it for a couple of days.

    On 03/16/2015 my device was displaying inaccurate battery life and was powering down consistently. The final problem that swayed me into bringing the device in to be replaced was that the device was stuck on the apple logo. I called T-Mobile customer service and they instructed me to bring the phone to get replaced since it was still under the buyer’s remorse period. The manager of the store informed me that there was a hair line scratch and they will not process a exchange. I never dropped or damaged the phone. I cared for this phone with care. I been with T-Mobile for over 8 years and this is a small request that shouldn’t be difficult to honor.

    Have been a customer for over 11 years (granted I took over my mother’s account of 2 years) I finally met my agreement and was let out of my contract. I called over to T-Mobile 2 times in one day to confirm that all of my bills were paid up and that I was able to port 2 lines I had out. I got the OK to port and I was also told that I was going to have a full bill to pay and then my final bill was to be prorated. Ok, cool. I then deliberately picked the phone back up and confirmed this information- the rep agreed.

    Fast forward, got my final bill, come to find out it is not prorated. How'd I know this would happen. Called back CS and was told to look up the terms and conditions and it states that you are responsible for charges that aren't even rendered! So basically, they charge you a full month bill (should have been prorated), then slap another "FINAL" bill on top of that for "the last" bill that you have to pay; a full month for no reason! In the end I was told to email CRResponce@t-mobile.com giving them the name of rep, date, time of my calls. I have asked for a transcript of my calls and they won’t give me one. "I'm sorry and I understand your frustration but you are responsible for the balance." I already paid the balance! I do not get it. My last bill should have been around 30 - I paid 121 and another 121...? RIP OFF.

The representative was nice & willing to help, but not empowered to do so and advised a supervisor would call back within 48 hours. No call was received.

    I have been a loyal T-Mobile customer for over 9 years now. I am finally to the point that I will leave when my phone is paid off. (Notice I didn't say when my contract is up). The appeal has always been the low cost but it no longer outweighs the horrible service. T-Mobile brags that they do not require a contract. That is correct but if it cost you $600 to leave-- the result is still the same.

    Watch out for any of T Mobile's marketing gimmicks (i.e. Jump). Pay attention and read the fine print. After a year you will likely look back and kick yourself for throwing all that money away. Do NOT get T Mobile's insurance. 3rd party products like Square Trade offer the same (or better) coverage for half the price. If you travel (like I do), realize that T-Mobile has the worst nationwide coverage of any of the US providers. There is nothing more frustrating than to stand outside a hotel in the rain just to take a call.

    On the 16th of February 2015 I order the new note 4 phone with the intentions to add this additional line to my already 5 lines. I was told that this order will take 2-4 days and I have to pay the interest cost for the phone. 72.34 was charged to my CC. I called T-mobile on the 20th as a follow up since I never received the phone. I was told that the phone was on back order which was a surprise to me. T-mobile never called me to inform me of the back order situation.

    I went into my local T-mobile store immediately and purchase the phone and changed my plan to accommodate this new phone line making it 6 in total. The interest for the same phone was now 76.65. I called the T-mobile customer service as soon as I got home and told them to cancel my order because I already made my purchase from my local store. I was surprised again when the rep now informing me that the order was already processed. I told the rep that I called a few hours ago and was told that the phone was on back order therefore I am expecting a refund of my 72.34.

    After several phone calls and being on hold/transfer for hours I still can't get my refund. I was informed that I have to wait until I receive the phone and returned it via UPS which wouldn't cost me anything. This was not true. When I took the device to my local UPS store they charged me 1.99 to complete the return transaction. Then I will have to wait 10 day after T-Mobile receive the device before I could get my refund.

    I called T-mobile and asked to speak to a manager several times and the none of the reps never allowed me to talk to a manager. They keep transfer me to different department without explaining the situation to who I'm being transfer to. Therefore I have to start over the conversation every time. Two weeks ago one rep told me that he works in the section which will make the credit and he will make an exception and processed my refund immediately upon verifying that the device is in house and he will make a note in the system. I made several calls regarding this refund even though T-mobile collected the device on the 3rd of March.

    I just got off the phone with T-mobile after being on hold for over 45 minutes while the rep sort out everything and then again I was transfer to another department who had no idea why I was transferred. After going over everything with him again he told me the process to refund my money was 10 - 30 days. I'm sick of T-mobile now after having 5 lines, several devices and never missed or make a late payment. I'm looking into other carriers to take my business to asap. Not to mention that the T-mobile rep charged my chase CC 237.88 without my authorization. This is another issue all by itself.

    My mom surprised me with an iPhone 6s from T-Mobile the first week of January. The phone was okay for the first few weeks. Then every time I tried to use the keypad while on the phone to enter in my credit card information the phone would start flickering like crazy. It did that every time I went to enter in my credit card information. I called T-Mobile and I was able to get a replacement phone sent to me and I was also able to get a new card for the phone. The phone arrived the next day which I thought was amazing! I had the phone for three day and then it started doing the same exact thing. It started flickering every time I went to enter in my credit card information. It just started flickering like crazy.

    I called T-Mobile and I was transferred to a technician. He instructed me to turn the phone on and off. I did so and the flickering stopped, he said if all else fails reset the phone. I ended up experiencing phone flickering again, I turned the phone on and off. The phone continued to flicker. I uninstalled my Apple account and re-installed it, still the phone flickered. In six weeks I went through three iPhone 6s during the warranty period. I had to pay shipping out of pocket to return the second replacement. Upon canceling my line with T-Mobile, they tried to get me to try another iPhone 6s saying that they would put a call into to warehouse. I said, "No Thank you." Terrible, just terrible.

    What a HORRIBLE way to treat your customers!!!!! Since day one a sales rep from business division of T-Mobile enrolled me to a 2 year contract and nothing that was said to be on the contract was honored. She said I would have free wi-fi calling, well my 900 dollar bill told me otherwise! She said the money that I paid for 4 phones would be credited back to me, well thank God I haven't held my breath because I never got it. My daughter's phone has glitches and they blame the fact that we share the internet. I gave up fighting for a few months and lived without the things I was promised. It was very tiring wasting hours on the phone to tell my issues to everyone that took my call because for some reason no one there seems to accurately note my account.

    Then around 5-6 weeks ago I lost my phone so I decided to buy a new phone at the branch. What a nightmare. When I get there everyone was very nice and pleasant. They told me that I can purchase the iPhone that I wanted paying for it monthly, I was only responsible to pay for taxes that day. I said "Wonderful." Well THEY also said that they were going to take me OFF the contract because in buying the new phone - I now qualified to be into the 4 lines for 100 plan. I was like "THIS IS MY LUCKY DAY" - Yeah right!!!!! My bill was 800 dollars once again because they never said that I would be charged about 160 PER LINE to enter this new plan.

    I called once again and of course wasted about two hour fighting and explaining the situation. They were nice enough to adjust my bill after me saying, "Forget everything. I want a refund." They explained that it was a huge mistake on their part that they were going to fix everything and that it was all going to be as they promised. The big finale is no surprise A LIE once again. My bill is $891.02 again - an outrageous number that they still cannot explain. I refuse to fight again. I never had a problem like this with any other cell phone company. I finally did what I should have done since the first time I was lied to I ENDED MY PLAN!!!!

I also explained that my parents lived in Williamsport MD, and that I work 28 miles away, in Chambersburg PA, (just off Interstate 81). From the start, service had been very poor, not being able to even get through. On numerous occasions I called T-Mobile Customer Service to complain... I visited the store, I even spoke with their Engineers. Throughout this time period, it's been recommended that I upgrades my phone, service contract and software.

    3 years later, nothing had changed, except I am now paying $87 a month for this worthless service, and a bunch of "am sorry." It wasn't until the last complaint visit, until I was informed by one of the reps, that my Chambersburg work location only had 2 mgs output, as he stated, "No wonder you can't get service."

    On Monday will be my last day with T-Mobile, before it becomes for real I tried to contact them and find out why they stopped sending me a paper bill. When this all started last week most of them didn't know, others insisted that I was set up for paper bills, and my personal favorite was once you change phones or upgrade to a new phone their system assumes that the person wants paperless billing. True or not, that's a bit of assuming things right off the hand. Last Monday I went down to a local AT&T store and enrolled. After having a long talk with the sales rep and comparing it to what T-Mobile was actually pushing things, I am sure that AT&T will have its own share of problems.

    But given the choices out there, Sprint - I was with a few years and they were a giant problem. I told them to get lost since I never got a paper bill from them for 5 months, and when the bill did showed up, it was in the form a of a double bill. Verizon - while their service wasn't bad, the way they handled the billing was a royal nightmare. On the one hand if you are late or forget to pay their billing department will call whenever and if they forget to send a bill in my case they did 3 times their way was put you into installments to pay off the bill. What killed me the most was able to prove payment was done, but they didn't care what time of day they called and called and called some more, and when I got on the phone with them the person at the other end mostly yelled and at 8:30 am in the morning on a Saturday.

    Which brings me to the jokers at T-Mobile, while T Mobile and Sprint are the only 2 carriers that offer Unlimited data plans they have to make up for the poor customer support. While I am not totally pleased with AT&T since don't offer unlimited data anymore they are more saner than Verizon, and from what I can tell no junk like T-Mobile does. While there will likely be problems with any of the carriers the way it seems to work which service is going to make you comfortable with. Maybe I will have no problems with AT&T or I may have a ton, one thing is clear I wasn't happy with what I had, and recalling the problems with the others I had this is likely the best option for now.

After my credit card was charged, I was prompted to register my account so that I could contact customer service in the future and I could access my account and such. During my attempt to register I was told that I would receive a text message on my phone once the service was activated. It is now March 8, 2015, 5 days later, and I have not received a text message since the service was never activated.

Funny request since my prepaid phone service is not working. I finally called customer service when I was able to borrow someone's phone and I spent more than 1 hour being transferred to 5 different reps, none of which could offer any assistance on the matter.

    I have never been so frustrated with a company I have paid to provided me with a service. I would not recommend T-Mobile to my worst enemy. I asked to speak to a supervisor several times and kept being informed that they could handle and after 15-20 minutes of arguing the point, they would finally reluctantly transfer me. Their technical department had apparently no technical knowledge of my phone which is not an obscure brand (iPhone4). In the end I asked for a refund and I still have not been offered that option. I intend to continue to insist they refund my money since I never received any service at all.

    Beware when you change to T- mobile. Make sure they mention to you that when they buy out your contract that you have to pay the balance then they reimburse you. Make sure also they tell you how to go thru the process of getting your money back. Got stuck owing at&t 1400 cause no one told me. Bad customer service. Called them and they told me nothing they can do. Worst company ever Lies, lies just to get your money.

    T-Mobile needs help, more training more like it, I wasted 45 minutes of my time having driven to a store location, in the Austin area, to pick up a hot cellspot router after having returned two routers that T-Mobile shipped out to me. They shipped out one router, then turned right around and shipped another one after they told me that we can only have ONE per household. The 611 reps are the most ignorant and incompetent reps ever and who all need to be on the same darn page. They need to learn their job of what they sell so that they may tell customers the correct information and/or take a class to learn how to operate their products. My time is precious and could have been saved; but having dealt with them........

    The 611 reps and the employees in the stores all need to be on the same page, as well. Two 611 reps told me that they had received the router and had given me the UPS tracking number. Oh my gosh!!! Then other reps could not locate such information.... I don't get it. One T-Mobile employee forgot to hand my driver license back; I did not get it until the next day. There I was driving without a license. I'm tired of dealing with T-Mobile and with all of the dropped calls. I called them 10 days in a row because their service is the most terrible...no reception in common area and calls drop constantly. I really wish that I would stop being cheap to where I will stop dealing with T-Mobile and just buy another phone... I mean, really.

    Had been with T-Mobile for years. My problem was I never got good reception and so I finally cancelled with them. I change to another wireless company and kept my old phone number. My new company told me that T-Mobile would be notified about me cancelling with them when the request went to them about my phone number being ported over to my new wireless company. I switched companies 1 week into the new T-Mobile billing cycle so I only had about 7 days that my account was active with T-Mobile before my account was cancelled.

    When I got my bill from T-Mobile a few weeks later they had billed me for the full month. I called them and said my account was cancelled after only a week into the billing cycle and I asked why they were billing me for the entire month. The cust service rep then said that it would be no problem to adjust the bill and prorate it to only bill for the 1 week. They made the adjustment. What I don't understand is why this wasn't done to begin with. Why did it take me calling them to be billed correctly? It's evident this is a common practice and so if people don't catch it.. or want to bother with contacting them.. they end up overpaying. T-Mobile knows most people will probably just pay it. Shame on you T-Mobile. I would think doing this on an ongoing basis would be grounds for a class action lawsuit.

    I had been a loyal T-Mobile customer for years, mostly because they were the cheapest. Their coverage has always sucked, but in the last couple of years, we haven't even been able to make or receive call in our house, which is in the middle of a mid-city city. I was also missing texts messages. Their customer services was never very helpful. I even attempted to upgrade my phone at one of the stores thinking a new phone would help, however, I left confused, frustrated and without a new phone.

    In January I made the big decision to switch carriers for two of our lines and drop the line that we hadn't been using. I called to cancel that third line within a day or two of switching. Much to my surprise, the next month I received a bill larger than my regular bill. Thinking it was because I cancelled mid-cycle, I sent in a partial payment and a letter of explanation and requested they cancel the third. Another month goes by and I receive yet another bill showing the third line as active. I called Customer Service tonight. I was passed to four different representatives. The fourth told me that because they had no record of my first call or the letter, the best they could do was cancel with today's date and I would still be charged in full. I requested a supervisor, but she refused to transfer me. I am unbelievably frustrated! I would not recommend T-Mobile to my worst enemy.

    I have been dealing with T-Mobile for months now regarding two tablets that were defective and returned to them. Back in October T-Mobile said to return the 2nd defective tablet, and once they received it, all the charges would be removed. At the time, the representative credited 3 charges having to do with the tablet. She also said that from that point on, we would no longer be charged. They did not stop charging. But I kept paying. I finally got tired of paying what I did not owe, and waiting for them to credit my account and stop the charges. Last month I paid the portion of my bill that I did owe. I subtracted everything regarding the tablet from my balance owed. I have just spent my entire lunch hour speaking with four different people, and all of them kept saying the same thing, that the charges are legitimate.

    T-Mobile had also been calling from a number I did not recognize, and not leaving a voicemail. I finally had to search the number to found out it was T-Mobile. I have been with T-Mobile for over 10 years. Two years ago I got a bill with over $400 of text charges. I have unlimited texts. It took over an hour with one representative putting me on hold and coming back with a reduced amount I can pay for the text charges. After I told her that I was tired of sounding like a broken record, I finally was able to speak with someone who took care of everything in just 3 minutes. Now, why couldn't that happen today? I even told them my past experience being given the run around by them. I said again to two people that I was tired of sounding like a broken record, and was tired of hearing them sound like a broken record. I finally had to hang up because my lunch hour was over. I will have to try again tomorrow.

    I would love to start off by saying that I switched to t-mobile since they were going to pay off my other phone. From the day that my husband and I signed up we have still yet to receive our money. The customer service section of t-mobile is horrible. They really need to take classes on how to train them to speak like well educated adults.

    I was on the jump program and both of our phones started having issues with them. When we called in to see if there was anything they could do for us they basically told us no and to figure it out on our own. We went in to the t-mobile store in hopes to just get new phones but with our jump program they wouldn't let us do that since we didn't pay off half of our phones.

    We talked to so many people and there was nothing anybody could do for us. Finally after fighting with them for two weeks we got what we wanted. We walked in to the t-mobile store and they immediately thought that we stole the phones and weren't willing to transfer anything over to the new ones. When we explained what happened the guy only said he could switch the contacts over. Not the photos. We had to fight with them in order for them to switch the pictures over. Once that was all said and done we got our bill which was $500. We didn't know it would be so much because yet again customer service does not tell you everything.

    When we called today to see what was going on the lady on the phone wasn't listening to a thing I said. She kept saying we were paying for the fees and taxes. Then she would change it to say we were paying for our down payment. Nobody ever told us about a down payment on the phone. We talked to the manager and she said she was doing us the best favor of all by voiding that down payment that we had no idea about in the first place. This has been one of the worst companies to deal with. They don't care about their customers and all they want is your money. They give you the run around until you have to yell at them in order for anyone to actually listen. It's annoying and frustrating.

Really aggravating. My daughter was playing with my phone and was watching cartoons on the T-Mobile TV app already on the phone front screen when opened. Was not aware that her doing so would use up high speed data. Called to see if there was anything they could do since I just activated the phone less than 24 hours beforehand and all my high speed data gone was told to buy extra pack which I can't use after doing so then was told "Nothing we can do. You shouldn't have used the TV app, we don't support that." Then why is it on the phone pre-downloaded?

    Asked if they could once reset my data, was told no. There's no way I would have used 2.5 data in less than 24 hours if I knew but nothing they can do. Please refund my 10 dollars for the extra pack I was told to purchase and now can't use. Highly upset with customer service at this point.

    On 10/25/14 I went to a T-Mobile store, 815 E Brandon Blvd. Brandon FL 33511, to take advantage of their offer to pay my existing cancellation from the previous provider. They never did. The Rep at the store (**) took my other company bill to send a payoff request for the cancellation of the other company contract. I have several problems with their billing since day one, not to mention I have to replace two phones, and the most expensive phones still have problems.

    I took it back to the store to do updates on some programs. Nothing changed on the phones. Now I have new charges on my account for an applications my youngest kid purchased when I requested a block off any purchase of any kind from the beginning of the contract. Once again on January of 2015 I dispute the charges for the amount of $70+ dollars, the Rep. gave me credit and she mentioned to me there was no restrictions on any of the lines to purchase.

    Once again I requested the block to any purchase, before I hung up I asked the Rep if any other purchases was still pending. She said no and stated to me the following month my bill will be back to normal. But for my knowledge I don't know anymore what is normal. Like I mentioned earlier every month is some discrepancy on my monthly bill. I request to return all the equipment back to store and terminate any relation with this company. The store and customer service won't allow me to return the equipment. I'm asking the consumers affairs please help me with this matter. Thank you.

    Where to begin? Since joining them in Feb of last year, I have already went through 4 phones that would be 5 if I stayed with Verizon. Since my joining of T-mobile with the LG G2 and two G3's, had network problems. Had two Samsung Galaxy Note 4's. The third one will be here on Monday. To solve one problem T mobile sent me a router but due to lack of room, don't have the room, and I am wondering why after 2 or 3 months after a new phone is sent something usually pops up.

    The new problem is that my contact list has an issue, stops working. To add to this mess I had T-mobile keep me on a paper bill, but when I updated to the Note 4, that process put me into a paperless bill. T-mobile claims they are going Green, it sounds like more like wanting to cut costs. Funny I thought paper bill means a paper bill. Since this is not enough to talk to attorney about likely going to put my phone up on ebay and end up returning the one they shipped. How can a company so sloppy is beyond me, and I saw worse problems with Sprint and Verizon.

    I was instructed to e-mail you after multiple calls to your customer service department, and no resolution. At present the most recent replacement phone I was connived into purchasing in a moment of extreme duress, a refurbished Samsung 4 which is even far worse than the 2 other Samsung 3s I've replaced. It doesn't charge, it misses calls constantly, and the latest disaster was hearing from a triage specialist at my Dr's office that they left me several messages to make an appt with me, and I didn't respond... no voicemail, or even a call log to see that I'd missed their call.

    They are programmed into my phone, as I have been waiting a month for the appt after a referral from the ER earlier this month, and another pending surgery. It also didn't work the last two times I was in the ER, but my friend's Cricket phone worked fine, as did other people I was speaking with, asking them whom their carriers were. It's very frightening to be in an emergency room with no reception, needing to contact friends or family to let them know where you are, to take care of your minor child.

    This began in November of 2012 when I was harassed into purchasing the Samsung 3, which was malfunctioning from jump. I took it back to the store, they replaced the phone, and I never received the $75 gift card I was expecting. I was not given paperwork from the store which was necessary to get the rebate, and after several attempts to rectify this both at different stores and on the phone with your company...I just gave up. I spent two years after a sizable down payment paying the worthless phone off, as I was under contract. I was finally sent a refurbished Samsung 3 sometime last year as the one I had wouldn't even charge anymore. Your customer loyalty team convinced me to stay with T-Mobile, and the replacement phone had the same issues as the previous phone, all of which is in your records.

    After several calls to your customer service dept, and tech dept nothing has ever been resolved. When I received the Samsung 4 a couple months ago the voicemail wasn't working, and I missed several important calls; I have 2 lawsuits pending, medical issues that have hospitalized me 4 separate times, had my data taken off my phone, been texting and missed important calls, dead zones in my house and other places in town, all of which your tech dept is aware of. I was supposed to receive a call from them on 2/24 which I never received as they said they would have technicians check the towers in my area. IT'S YOUR NETWORK. I have friends with T-Mobile who have the same issues, and they live on the other side of town.

    All of this being said, I am going to tell you about my last discussion with your company customer service dept. After being transferred FIVE times, repeating my issue FIVE times, I spoke with Nadine in your customer loyalty dept. I remember her name bc that's how many times I've had to call. She advised, exact quote "If you are having this many problems you need to go with another company." How is that customer loyalty? She said there was nothing else they could do. This was at the end of last week.

    I am not paying a dime for this Samsung 4, I will be happy to send it back to you, or take it to the nearest store. I am really upset that I even have to waste the time to write this, as you will see if you listen to your calls for quality assurance, and your agents have taken decent notes, the unnecessary stress and grief this whole matter has caused me. I can't believe after sticking with your company for this long, and being treated so poorly, that your company is telling me to go elsewhere. I can't afford a new phone with a different company.

    Please make this right. It's a travesty, and I would be happy to contact the State Attorney General's office to resolve this matter. There are other people that are having issues as well, and they are your customers too. Quit putting expensive ads on TV, and gouging your customers. Take care of the ones you have.

We followed the directions and now we are told that it is our problem to find a back cover? The cavalier attitude coming from our multiple conversations with your personnel reflects very poorly on your company as a whole.

    I switch from Sprint on feb 2014, got the insurance on. They claim you have 2 per year so phone broke in March 2014 and then 1 in August 2014 so the insurance start in February. Now my phone broke sat called and they claim it's not cover under the insurance because I already use my 2 for the year and claims it starts when you put in the 1st claim and not when you get the insurance. What a way to take our money. Going to bring them to small claims court. I will update after court.

    When I placed my order with T-Mobile, I was told that there would be no additional fees - I would only have to pay the state tax, and the $100 multiple line charge. When the agent for T-Mobile told me I would have to buy two S4s for over $600 apiece, I told him I would keep my account with Family T-Mobile through Walmart instead, because they were selling new Galaxy S3s for $199. He then told me that they had the same phone for $198. I purchased the phones and the account from T-Mobile. When I got my bill, there was an extra fee, which brought my bill to $120 a month.

    When I received my two S3s, they were both refurbished phones, and the camera on one of the phones produces a hazy image that makes the camera unusable. When I called T-Mobile, they offered to sell me the $600 S4s or cancel my account. I had already cancelled my account with Walmart Family T-Mobile, and would have to start all over again. This is a sham of a company, and I would not recommend them for any service.

    My girlfriend and I switched to T-Mobile in Nov. 2014 from Sprint because of the poor customer service. We were quoted a good price, and got our first bill in Dec. and paid promptly. Later in Dec. I received a refund for the cost of ending my Sprint contract before it had expired. We told the lady on the phone we'd like to apply it to the cost of the phone I had to purchase from them. They didn't. They applied it to the regular account. When we got our Dec. bill, it was showing a credit balance. We called the error to their attention, they said they'd fix in 72 hours. They didn't.

    When the Jan bill came, it was over $400! We went into the store. They apologized and said it was overstated by $180 and that they would fix within 72 hours. They didn't. They also told us our bill should have been $263 which we paid. The $180 is still showing as owing but now they're saying we owe it. Thank goodness we didn't sign a contract with this outfit. Their coverage is terrible and their service is worse!!!

    I’ve been trying to resolve this problem for about a year now but I’m about to cave in. I purchased an iPad mini through T-Mobile about a year ago. It was a great offer, as explained on the phone. For the price of a Wi-Fi only, I could purchase a data-enabled iPad. I could finance the tablet with no interest and, the best part, I would get 200 mg of data a month, no charge, for life. Since I had only occasional need for the data it seemed a perfect deal for me. I even recommended this to my son who made the same purchase expecting the same deal.

    I set up my online banking for regular scheduled payments and figured I’d be done with it. Yet, every month, a bill arrives with additional charges. So every month I call T-Mobile. Each time I’m told that the sales person must have misrepresented the deal but they would adjust my bill going forward. This never happens. Although they do recognize each month the corrected adjustment after the call, the following month the scenario repeats, I get offered the same repeated promise that it will be fixed in the future. And, with the next invoice, I’m on the phone again. This last month I found even more charges, now for on-demand data (probably, because I actually used the data) and some other items I’ve yet to understand.

    I was about to give in - which meant paying off the loan and giving up the data. They are trying to talk me out of it by suggesting I move my account over to a friend who has a cell phone number with T-mobile - which then makes my tablet qualify for the free data. I found a willing friend who agreed as long as she wouldn’t have to deal with any financial transactions. I was about to do that but realized I couldn’t make that promise to her. I will be traveling abroad soon and would likely want to purchase additional data to use on the trip. I believe the customer service people I talk to are sincerely trying to remedy the situation but the problem is endemic to their infrastructure...but still, very frustrating.

    I switched my service from another carrier to T-Mobile and informed them that I wanted to keep my same phone number. They told me this was no problem and after going through their procedure they informed me that my number would be up and running in 3 hours. This didn't happen. They informed me that the problem was with Cellular One, that they had not released the number. To make a long story shorter, I contacted Cellular One who informed me that they had done their part and that the problem was with T-Mobile. I went back and forth between the two companies four times and each time I was shuffled back and forth between companies; each of who blamed the other party. I WAS SHUFFLED BY T-MOBILE A HALF A DOZEN TIMES BETWEEN DIFFERENT T-MOBILE DEPARTMENTS.

    Apparently, nobody could figure out what to do so they just keep passing the buck between different departments, and countries. It seemed like everyone I spoke to had a different accent. Many of them had a hard time understanding English. When I asked to speak to a supervisor, they would just send me to someone else in the same department who was not a supervisor. Finally I got a hold of someone who took the initiative to call Cellular One, and on a conference call, the two companies said they had solved the problem, and informed that the change would happen in 3 hours. It has been 12 hours and the problem still remains. I am very disappointed with the inept service at T-Mobile.

    I will seek every outlet on the internet to vent my anger about such poor service. My advice... because if you actually need some help, God help you in trying to get anything done with T-Mobile. Their solution to problems is to pass you off to as many different departments as possible until hopefully you get so exasperated that you just give up. Got to go now... I have the rest of the day to find other outlets to express my disgust with T-Mobile's "service".

Then I called t-mobile and they told me that I hadn't but I know I don't have my money, my card says that T Mobile took my money and T-Mobile treated me like I'm an idiot and acted like I am trying to steal from them.

    I switched to T-mobile in December 2014 thinking that it would be the best decision for financial situation. At the T-mobile store they had run out of the white and silver Iphone 6 16gb so I ended up getting the black and silver 64gb, thinking that when they had the white one I would be able to switch it. Two days later they had the white 64gb and I was charged $50! for the exchange. Then I had an incident with my phone on February 5 and it is now February 17th and I still do not have a phone.

    My bills are paid on time and I already paid for the device in full. Two days after I made the insurance claim I received a phone but it was the wrong one. I originally had and paid for a 64gb and the insurance company sent me a 16gb. I had to go to a t-mobile store so that they would verify what I was calling about. I told the representative (in the t-mobile store) if they could just adjust the difference on my bill and I would gladly stay with the 16gb, according to her it could not be done. So I mailed the phone that Wednesday because I had to wait for an email from the insurance company with a return shipping label.

    I called on Sunday and was told by a representative that I could DEFINITELY expect my device Tues Feb 17 being that Monday Feb 16 was a holiday. Today is Feb 17 6:28 pm, there is no tracking information available and the insurance companies say it should be here. Not to mention there is always an unexplained tax or charge. I'm so over it at this point. Why is it that the insurance companies and the T-mobile representatives never know what the other is doing? Don't they communicate? I'm overwhelmed with the calls and the emails. I just want my phone back. This has been, by far the worst experience of my life. I am beyond disappointed with this company.

    Got the smallest plan available to "test" their coverage area - $3 a month, 30 min/text, no data. Used at least 15 trying to test it, and they did a "fix" and said "we will give credit next week if still not working." I tried to explain I only need it for emergencies and won't use more min/text to see if it is working until I get credits for what I already used. Got another text in the following week after having them turn off voice mail, as it charges me for the voice text, receiving the voice mail, and it was to me (from me) while my phone sat on the counter. I checked all my outgoing and none were there. Needless to say if I got a voicemail after they "fixed it" and charged for it, it's still not working. Voicemail was supposed to be turned off. Now down to 11 min/text and I still don't know if it will work if I have an emergency because I can't "test" it without more time/text.

    My sons just switched over against my warnings, and they immediately could not receive calls. When they go to pick up the call, it disconnects. Can call out as long as they are not calling someone on T-mobile, i.e: can't call one another because the call gets disconnected. They use one form or link to have you test your BYOD and see if it will work, but nothing to help with settings, and they went to the "store" to get theirs done. Also were told they "pay ETF" and they don't pay it, they reimburse (deceptive marketing).

    I've been fighting them to change their terminology for weeks now on the internet warning them of class action law suits. Even in the stores they say "pay your ETF's". Payment is immediate and this is a reimbursement that has so many strings attached, it's almost impossible to get it as many are posting. T-mobile is not issuing credits for anything including returned devices that show tracking were received by them.

For some reason they took out 40% - too much for four months in a row and would not explain why. I asked for a refund but was told no. Finally my wife talked to a rep who promised to stop one phone and charge $25.00 a month. Our next two bills were double that. I called back and got in there and told them I will stop all payment.

Verizon has been extremely professional and willing to work with us.

    T-Mobile has been charging our inactive phone line for 5 months now. My mom and I have both repeatedly called them to rectify this during those 5 months. At least two times the T-Mobile representative assured us the account was closed, this was the last bill. Now in February, they are still charging us and refuse to help.

    In October, I switched mobile phone providers. I never received a final bill so I thought I must have paid the final bill. WRONG - much to my surprise, I received a notice stating I was in collection for over $400!! I contacted T-Mobile and realized I had a home booster that needed to be returned. I then got the address so I could return it. I asked T-Mobile why I did not receive a bill and only learned of a balance when I received a collection notice. Apparently, if you do online billing- T-Mobile does NOT mail a final bill - even though they remove your access to the online account!! I pointed this out and they just said "yea - it's the way it works." Totally absurd - but I thought - well they know now I am returning the booster and my acct will be cleared.

    I contacted them as a follow-up to make sure they received the booster only to be told no, but they would put a trace on it. I then get an email stating the trace was invalid. I had no idea what that meant. I called once again. They took additional info about the return and assured me it would be handled. I then get ANOTHER email stating - once again - invalid. I called AGAIN and was promised it was all set. Next thing you know I have a letter from a COLLECTION agency!!!! I called T-Mobile (2/13) - and they stated that yes - they had the return but it would not process for another month (3/8). According to the tracking info from UPS - the item had been received a month before my call (1/12), but I had a balance of $54 from my last bill and since it was in collection they could do nothing. Oh and I also owe a $108 collection fee!!!!

    I was told I have to pay the collection fee - it doesn't matter that I never received a bill, nor that I was calling every few weeks trying to make sure the account was all set. T-Mobile also claims they "can't talk to the collection agency". How is that possible?? They sent my account to collection in the first place!! So it does not matter that no one told me about the small balance after the return or that I was diligent trying to make sure the account was straight. I am being forced to pay the collection fee and I have no recourse cause it is my credit that will be damaged and T-Mobile couldn't care less!!!!! DO NOT EVER USE T-MOBILE!!!!!!!

    We joined T-mobile in October 2013 under the guarantee that they would be upgrading our area to 4G LTE soon. It is now February 2015 and they finally put the new tower up. I received an email telling me to check out their new 4G data speeds yesterday, but when I turned on my data, I still only had 2G. When I went online to find out what the issue may be (I figured they may still be working on the tower), I was redirected to a page of "approved compatible phones" with their new 4G network. My phone wasn't on the list. Despite my phone having 4G LTE capabilities, they didn't recognize it as "compatible" with their new tower.

    I find this to be a very shady business practice. When we joined, we were given the promise that 4G was coming soon. A year and 4 months later, we finally get it but now, we must upgrade to actually be able to use it. Not only that, but my 4G phone picks up 4G in larger areas, so I know it's compatible with their network. Apparently just not here. Either they skimped on some of the features with our tower, or they're trying to get more money out of us. Either way, I'll be glad when October rolls around so I can switch to a different carrier. I have to say from the moment we joined T-mobile, it has not lived up to our expectations. I find their service to be full of false promises with very little return.

They tell me on this day, February 6, 2015 to call apple and find out why the phone is locked. I stated I have no phone enabled to my "find my phone app" which is what they stated was causing the phone to be locked. Apple confirmed the Iphone 5 was indeed not linked. I call T Mobile back and they state we are not going to call apple. So, to catch them in a lie, I asked them "when was the last time you checked the phone to see if it was still locked?" They said January 19, 2015. Hmmm, ok but they said they scrapped the phone in December.

    They are going to continue to charge me for a phone I no longer have and they received in Dec of 2014. I will be contacting a consumer lawyer as what they are doing is wrong.

Website and sales people said FREE WIFI calling. Well it is not free - $0.20/min in most cases! Many other padded charges. T-MOBILE refuses credit on bad connections and even repeated one-minute calls claiming they have no way of knowing if the call was good or not. They are all legitimate calls.

    I am a disabled, retired, veteran on a fixed income with geriatric parents residing in Canada. I was looking for a plan that included inexpensive long distance charges so that I could continue to keep an eye on my mom and dad. I was lured away from Verizon by a deceptive T-Mobile salesperson who promised me FREE long-distance to Canada if I would leave Verizon. It was a perfect plan for me and my folks. Upon receiving the new T-Mobile phone, I discovered that I was unable to even place a call to Canada on the new device.

    I called T-Mobile and was told that my plan did not allow calls to Canada but that I could add that to my plan for a significant additional cost. I requested that T-Mobile review their taped phone conversation proving that the salesperson made this promise, but they refused. Since I could not use the phone for its intended use, I ask for a final bill to close out my T-Mobile account. I could not continue doing business with T-Mobile purely out of principle. I was told by the customer service rep that my plan did not included receiving bills and that it would be sent to my phone.

    Well, I have a flip phone without data and no personal computer so it would be impossible for me to see the bill (of course, none of this makes sense to a rational person). I was told that I would have to drive to a T-Mobile store to pay this bill. The issue with the bill is secondary. The real beef that I have is that I was blatantly lied to, coerced away from Verizon for which I was charged $100, because I was still under contract, and that T-Mobile would not resolve the problem. Instead, it seemed like they were more concerned about protecting their salespeople, regardless of their fraudulent behavior. Now, I have no cell phone at all and am out of pocket a lot of money. Buyers, beware!

    T-Mobile customer since December 2012. Always paid my bill since the beginning at end of month 30th or 1st. In last 5 months or so I have been getting late notices when I did not before. Apparently my bill must be paid by 23rd of month or I am assess a late fee. I have not changed the date when I pay my bill so what changed? Spoke to billing and "Juan" in customer retention who was willing to do nothing and apparently does not have a supervisor over him. When our phones are paid off we will look for something else.

    Why I hate T-mobile...No.1 They screw everyone that uses T-mobile as their carrier.... No.2 They screw everyone that uses T-mobile as their carrier.... No.3.. Well you get the idea...I have been with T-mobile for nearly ten years, and in that time frame, I've had so many major issues with my billings. For instance...I had 3 phones on my family network with two of the phones were limited to NO downloads. My phone is the only phone that was able to download anything, which I never did. So you'd surely think that my bill each month would be with in a few dollars of the last months billing. It cost me about $160.00 a month for all 3 phones and I was ok with that. But after three months (without changing a thing) my T-mobile bill went right thru the roof, it shot up to $220.00.

    I questioned them about the extra charges and their answer to me was quote "We made a mistake in the plan" they sold me and that the first three months weren't billed at the correct price. I, just like my phone bill, went right through the roof. They apologized for the mistake but then one month later my bill had grown to $247.22. That was the last straw.

    I drove to my nearest T-mobile store....walked in, took a number and waited for it to be called. It was close to 20 minutes before my number came up. Trying to keep my cool, I went thru the whole story about "their creative billing and how obvious it was." I was told that they were going to look into it but for now I was to wait and that they would send me an accounting of what the NEW charges were about. I was not at all happy with their answer.

    I felt the only thing that would make my bill smaller was simply remove two of the phones, which I did. I was charged $43.00 for the removal of both phones. Thinking that my bill was reduced, and was told that from that date forward my new bill for one phone was going to be $41.00 and I was really OK with that! Well I got my new T-mobile bill this morning and after viewing what I thought was going to be the copy of "their" newly re-accounting of my bill that was supposed to be sent to me... It wasn't going to happen, they never did send any information on why bill was all screwed up. In the envelope was a new bill alright. Now, the greedy bastards have the nerve to send me new charge of $114.00. This was the end..kaput...done..it was over... I was finished!!! I now have a different carrier and believe me on this... I will be keeping a close eye on my new phone bills for sure. DON'T USE T-MOBILE..THEY WILL ROB YOU.

    We terminated our services with T-Mobile weeks ago. Since then, we have been trying to return the signal boosters we ordered to help boost our weak signals. We were told that if we do not return the boosters we would be held responsible for over $300. We were told we would get a return label in the mail within a week. We did not. Again we called and we're told they did not know what happen and will get it sent. A week and a half later, still no label. We called again asked if we could drop it off at a store. We were told by the rep. that we could. Took it to the store and they wouldn't accept it. Called again and was told again we could drop it off at store. The T-Mobile rep even called the manager of the store to confirm the transaction. Took it again and they would not accept it. Call co. for the 4th time and was told they would once send the label. We are getting the run around. We are not sure what to do at this point.

    Was a customer of T-Mobile for many years. Phone bill was paid in full monthly. Paid by phone not mailed monthly. Had insurance put on phone without me authorizing. Called customer service and was credited my money. Still again was being charged for insurance. Again I called customer service. They told me that it would be taking care of. Again was charged. And was told by customer service it would happen again. Checked bill for a couple months and no charges were taken out.

    Two years after I cancelled phone number two. They said the rate was changed and asked if I still wanted the insurance? I said I didn't have insurance on line two. They told me it was for my phone. I said your customer service cancelled it two years ago. After calling them time after time. They said they would credit me 100.00 and that I should have looked at my bill monthly. I told them that customer service cancelled it and they told me it wouldn't happen again. They didn't care and they would not credit me anything else. Two years later I'm getting Collection calls. I want this taking care of. What can I do?

    I, Vickie ** ordered two LG Optimus L90 over the phones from a very sweet girl who recommended L90 as a good beginner smart phone. She was the first and last nice person that I have talked. I received my phone on the 20th of January and it was covered with fingerprints. It seemed to be pre-programmed and a ding in the metal around the plug-in. I read the instructions and tried to program it to English and enter some phone numbers but the phone just refused to do anything. I then received an error message that I needed a code to to unlock the phone, and this is when I had the pleasure of talking to Mr. Know-It-All. I explained to him that I was not computer smart and this was our first smart phone so I knew nothing, I just got it. I also stated that "I think this is a used phone and maybe that is the problem".

    When I asked for the code he just starts in with orders of things to do, "push and hold this key. While holding that key and when this blinks let loose of this key, but keep holding that key until something else blinks and then tap repeatedly." I asked him to slow down and told him again, "I don't know where the buttons are on the phone yet, I just got it". I asked if he couldn't just couldn't give me the code instead of all these other steps. He replied, "no" and decided to send the instructions. I asked if the my old sim card could be copied since it won't fit and he said "no!" He was just so abrupt and in such a hurry. He just didn't have time for a new smart phone user nor my questions.

    January 21st: My husband's L90 gets here and what a difference. His is all shiny and new with no scratches like a new phone should look. So now I am sure that I must have been sent a used L90 so I called customer service. Between these two phone calls you have no idea how close I came cancelling my contract with T-Mobile after ten years. She all but called me a liar and kept saying "why didn't I call?" But I did call Mr. Know-It-All, day one. It's on the tape recorded conversation. She too just kept repeating everything over and over, stating that I will be charged to have a new phone sent out because I didn't call sooner. How much sooner was I to call and what in the heck has happened to your customer service that has kept me with you all these years. It sure has not been your coverage.

    I received my replacement phone today, January 29 but I will not open the package until I take it to a T-Mobile dealership. That should eliminate any questions if the phone is new of refurbished. You guys are the ones that closed all the dealership and made it impossible for your dedicated customer to update so we are force to trust what we are sold on the phone and what we get in the mail. Our closest outlet is 1-1/2 hours from here but before I'll be put down like that again, I'll drive to Wenatchee and have the store manager open up the new (hopefully) L90.

    I would give 5 stars to the girl that sold me the LG Optimus L90. She explain the phone in such detail and the benefits for beginning smart users. She was a real keeper. The other two don't deserve a star between them.

    I had switched to T-mobile in March 2014. I added their "Stateside International" plan for $10 per month and it covers all calls made to UK land lines. In December 2014 I received an inflated bill and called customer service for an explanation. They said it was the UK number I was calling was a cell phone. It is not, never has been & never will be a cell phone number. She eventually credited the amount charged incorrectly and kept insisting the problem arose because I was making the calls over wifi and their computer recorded that number as a cell phone. I have always made these calls over wifi and never had a problem until December. My January 2015 bill had the same error. I called customer service again and spoke with a rude, condescending woman called Melissa. She insisted because their computer was documenting the calls to a cell phone, then it had to be to a cell phone. (I only call one UK number. It's my mother's landline. Same number for years, definitely not a cell phone.)

    I asked to speak with her supervisor. The supervisor and Melissa had a conversation regarding my billing problem which I could hear, although I never spoke directly to the supervisor. She told Melissa what to say to me, even after me telling them numerous times I could hear them both, and did not Melissa to repeat what the supervisor had just said. The supervisor said I was making calls to a cell phone and expecting to get them for free. She said I should sign up for a plan that covers calls to cellphones in the UK for $15 a month. I only call one international number via T-mobile - it's a landline - hence paying for a plan to cover those calls.

    How can a telephone company not figure out either by an area code or number that this is not a cell phone?? In the UK the numbers for land lines and cell phones are very different. Like most of the human race, I use FaceTime/Facebook phone to call other cell phones. In the interim I cannot call my 85-yr old mother on her home phone because T-mobile will add more and more charges and insist it is a cell phone. They were both very unhelpful and extremely unprofessional. I have written to their customer relations department and I am awaiting a response. I will be switching carriers ASAP.

The customer service person told me I have to pay because they port our numbers. What in the heck does that mean? This seems ILLEGAL. There must be something the consumer can do.

    As a consumer you take the proper, attentive steps to correct and make sure that your issue is handled correctly by contacting the T-mobile phone customer support-- but think again and beware. The T-MOBILE, their support associate(s) not only lack the knowledge to give me correct adjustment and refund policy information but not even process my request after they confirmed that it was processed and everything would will fine. I had to call T-MOBILE customer support to follow up a couple days from the initial call to make sure my refund was processed (on hold for a long time).

    One associate told me "yes it will be in your account tomorrow." When I called the next day (hold again for a long time), another associate, "no refund request has been submitted." Then, I was put on hold for a long time again to talk to a supervisor which I requested and She told me complete opposite information than the initial associate who take care of this at the beginning. Not only she was rude, continued to blame me for the issue and not coming up with rectifying the problem and a quick solution after their conflicting and misleading information and promise to fix by their support associate(s), the call ended not so well.

    I had switched from T Mobile to another service starting in Nov 2014. So end of October I contacted them and I paid my last phone bill balance. I did however have an outstanding balance for purchase of a phone for $363. I explained I didn't have the full amount and would make a payment in approx. 10 days since I had just paid my phone usage balance in full.

    On Nov 1, 2014 I called and made a $63 payment on Dec 12,2014. I paid $40 and on January 13, 2015 I called and as I proceeded to use automated system it said I was in collections so I talked to representative I asked why recording said I was in collection and didn't allow me to make my payment and she said it was just T Mobile collection and she would " Gladly Accept My Payment" that my balance was $260. I told her if I could pay $60 and that would bring balance to $200, she replied, "Certainly I’ll gladly help you with that." I proceeded to make payment and asked again, "So when I make my next payment I just have to contact a representative, correct? Not with automated system?” She said, “Yes sir,” and that was it until I receive a collection notice from a collector and it says 78 days?

    I have been calling and T Mobile either disconnects me or transfers my call to another dept.! I was treated rudely and told I was "misinformed"? “By who?” I said after asking as to "Who owns the balance now?” None of them could answer; I was placed on hold once I was transferred to Equifax? I was assured it was their collection dispute dept. and another time to a Collection Agency who has account now. Then I was told to go ahead and pay T Mobile and it would be fine that they could accept Payment? To which I said, “So you own account?” Response, "I can’t answer that." To which I said, “What if I pay you and collectors still try to collect? Do you own this account?” Placed on hold and disconnected!

    From representative to "Charlie" who claimed to be a supervisor but had no clue. So who owns account? A collection comp. is demanding payment and will report me if they haven't already to credit bureaus! IM NOT DELINQUENT! When I spoke to live representative last week on Jan 13, 2015, why did she ASSURE me I wasn't in collection and take my payment? Why send me to collection if I was making monthly payments and if they weren't satisfied with my monthly payments, which they were cashing and accepting WHY NOT NOTIFY ME IN WRITING or when I spoke to her 3 days after paying they sell my account? And cant even confirm this!

    I have worked so hard past 3 years to fix my credit to buy my parents a home they desperately need and now this is going to ruin it and no one acknowledges that I was making payments and that there was no need to SELL my account! If I was misinformed it was by them! Funny thing is I was going to go back to T Mobile for fam plan but now they've ruined my credit after an entire year of paying them on time and making payments on my phone? So unfair! And no one there cares. They all send me to call the collection that now has it?? Or they'll take my payment? With no explanation! Frustrated! I’ve seen a T Force that tries to help?

I had already purchased the replacement phone so I wasn't sure why. They finally told me that they received an empty box. It took forever for me to get that info and they ran me through all kinds of hoops for no reason. I believe that UPS didn't take it now that I have seen the footage.

I thought everything was fine til 3 days later and I had no service. I started a chat with T-mobile and was told my account was cancelled. Why did they get cancelled was my question, the answer was it doesn't clearly state it here why they were cancelled.

I kept the service until the end of my contract because I didn't want to pay a cancellation fee. Lo and behold, they found a way to sneak one in anyway. I ported my number over to Verizon on December 28th, after talking to a T-Mobile Representative that day about that very possibility and they said not to worry and I wouldn't be charged.

    A bill came in the mail two months later for 250 dollars. My normal bill with T-Mobile was 95 dollars so to say the least, I was shocked. I called and was told about the early termination fee and tried to talk some sense into the girl on the other end, but was pretty much told that it would be sent to collections if I didn't pay. DO NOT sign up for T-Mobile if you are thinking about it. Their in city coverage is ok, but Verizon works everywhere.

When I finally was angry again (after the 5th call), one customer service help me and told me that my account was taken care of, and I don't have to pay a thing.

    You can't even make this stuff up, it's that bad. This is the worst retail experience of my life with the T-Mobile store on the Second Floor of Pentagon City Mall. Do not confuse this with the real one on the third floor. That one is funded and staffed with real T-Mobile representatives who are T-Mobile employees. This second floor store is a mom and pop outfit or a franchise store that is independently owned and operated and is staffed by whoever they can find to sell phones or phone plans.

    I went in to determine if I wanted to upgrade to two lines, the family plan, for $80. I currently had prepaid one line at $40 and prepaid another line just minutes. So that's close to $48 when you do the math, $100/12 = $8 a month for the just minutes deal plus the $40 = $48. But I thought I would just check out the $80 for 2 deal, it was only $30 a month more. Well, they talked me into it and I ended up with a phone as well, which I didn't really want. I was hoping for news about the Samsung Gear S, but they had no idea what I was talking about.

    Well, they converted my numbers and after about an hour of constantly being interrupted by the gentleman (Jonathan) waiting on me I finally got everything up and running. I asked twice what happens to my balance on my prepaid accounts, one had $80 and one just had $70 put on it. He said, "oh that's no problem, just call customer support and they will move that over for you."

    I went home and called customer support and they said NO. That money was gone for good and there was nothing anyone could do about it. They could not do it; the store could not do it, no one. It's a known thing that once you cancel a prepaid account you lose any remaining balance. It's taught on the first day for training a new employee. The person waiting on me was the team leader or manager, so you know he knew I could not get that money back. So that's pretty bad right, intentionally lie to me to make that sale and now I am out $150. But now here is where it gets worse. That was actually the good part.

    When I went in to confront the guy who did this he said, "oh don't worry, I can make that up to you. I will give you a credit of $50 each month for three months to make up for the money you lost." I said "is that in writing?" He said "no, you don't need that, you have my word; I just can't help you now as I am out of credits to give you, we only get so many each month and we are all used up right now." (bell going off, used up all the credits already? Why?) BTW, these credits are from T-Mobile so as you can see they are now making T-Mobile pay for their mistakes, they are not taking this out of their profit or local store operation, just using the T-Mobile system to pay for their mistakes.

    So to put the brakes on this sort of behavior T-Mobile limits the amount these franchise stores can dump on them, hence the limit of $50 credit per month. So they are going to drag this out for three months so that T-Mobile can pay for everything and not have to take anything out of their pocket to fix this. So I agreed to that and waited, like I had a choice. Then I realized this was not going to work for me after they refused to return my calls about how this was going to work. So I went in the next day to meet the guy (Jonathon) who I talked to but he had left 30 minutes before I got there. Now it's a guy named Remy helping me. He took back the phone and canceled part of my plan. I went back to one line at $40 but kept it at postpaid for now, and then I paid more cash to redo my minutes only number as pre-paid, about another $60.

    So now in one week I am out $210. Then I went home and notice that my bill was still at $100 for the 2 line plan. I called Remy and he said they would fix that so it was only $40, then with my store credit my bill would only be $0 or even a small credit balance for 3 months. Well, after two weeks, my bill still was showing $100 but then it finally showed a credit of $50. I called customer support and they said it was them; they refunded my money for going from two line to one line. The store has never sent in this store credit for losing my prepaid balances yet. So I am still out $210, and I still owe T-Mobile another $50 in the next two days.

    To rub salt in this wound, when I was at the store Remy asked for my id, my driver's license. In all this confusion and trying to keep my temper I never got my license back. After almost a week I noticed it and ask both of the guys, Jonathon and Remy if they had seen it since it was the last time I saw it was when they were using it. I did not hear from them for several days so I ordered another one from the DMV, another $20. Then the next day Remy texted me and said he had my ID. Really? You had my driver's license in the store for over a week and you just noticed it now. So now I am out $150 from loss of prepaid funds, plus $60 to recreate my new prepaid account, plus $20 for a new license, plus this $50 bill I owe in 2 days. So in just over two weeks I lost $280, and given up all hope of getting any of it back.

    If you read this whole thing I can only offer you this piece of advice. STAY AWAY from this place. It's dangerous. You will get your wallet cleaned out and you will be sorry. You will be lied to. You will be cheated. You will be asked for your trust and then have it stolen. You will be asked to take someone word and then have it taken away. Don't go to this place. You have no recourse. You cannot get T-Mobile to help, they will not. It's not a T-Mobile store. You can't get any help once they get to you. So listen to me. BEWARE. DANGER. STAY AWAY. You will lose and lose big and you will not be able to do anything about it.

    I requested T-Mobile to release a bill with details, itemized charges for 10 days of service. They said they will send out within 72 hours which they never did. From that instance I confirmed that they were lying and will not release the bill with details - itemized charges as requested. Before that I called them two times to tell me details about itemized charges. After long talk with representatives she routed me to finance department. One brought up some bogus charges and told me, and one told me nothing beside wait 72 hours for the information release.

    In the same day I started transferred my service to AT&T which I've been using in the last 8 years and never both to call T-Mobile to cancel anything. What I did was entered my T-Mobile account information when in transfer service. When doing a transfer make sure you cancel or change your credit, debit, bank account etc., otherwise, they'll charge you.

    Tell people stay away from this criminal thug company, lying and denying are their best to get your money. Your best defense are file a complaint with the FTC and BBB.org. Ultimately, network with people who have been rip off by T-Mobile and file lawsuits, and make sure your voices are heard and get justice.

    My first complaint is that when I was staying with family in central MA, I couldn't get any reception. TM put me through some kind of remote programming, but it did nothing. Then they basically told me too bad. I was still under contract, so nothing I could do. Of course, I was job searching and my cell was my only consistent contact number.

    Finally, when the contract expired I closed the account. I come to find out over 1 year later, when my bank ran a credit report for me, that I had a negative record from a collections agency for T-Mobile claiming I hadn't paid my last bill. I was on e-billing, so I pulled up all of my T-Mobile emails/bills and found nothing for a last bill for $87. And I find out that the collection agency had sent it to a POB, which was no longer forwarding my mail. Any intelligent person would think, considering T-Mobile emailed my bills to me for 2 years, why couldn't they email to me with a reminder that I hadn't paid my last bill. I think they mailed the last bill, instead of sending it by e-billing. I have no problem paying the last bill, but I am furious that after my being a perfect customer for 2 years, that they would put me in a collection agency, who didn't have the brains to find my present address. They have access to that public information.

    So now I have a negative on my credit report until 2020, which prevented me from getting a Visa card from my bank. On top of that, when I pulled credit reports from all 3 agencies, TransUnion had 2 negative reports from 2 different collection agencies for T-Mobile for the same $87. Of course, I had to spend time on the phone with T-Mobile and the 2nd credit agency who claims they notified Transunion that the negative record should be removed, because my horrible delinquency was handed over to another collection agency, the one I ended up paying.

    What horrible, stupid behavior to cause this kind of negative impact to the credit rating of someone who was a good customer, who paid on time every month, and who couldn't even get cell service most of the time for the last year of the contract. This company is run by crooks and morons, and it's time our Consumer Affairs agency did something about it. .My next complaint I'm about to write is about TransUnion, who had been notified in March 2014 to remove the 2nd collection agency report, and still haven't done it. Those credit reporting agencies are even bigger crooks!

    I am a truck driver. Needed to access the internet to get messages from all over the country. T-mobile claimed they had a "hot spot" I could use all over the major areas to get the contacts necessary. My need was to pay a fixed monthly rate. I told them I had an ACER CROMEBOOK. "Sure. There will be some dead spots in the low population area, but we are well covered in higher populated areas." I can tell you that low areas are, apparently, Indianapolis, IN; Lincoln, NE; Omaha, NE; Phoenix, AZ; Denver, CA; any major cities in TX, PA, OH, IL, Western MI, KY, Western NY, VA, WV, GA, KY, TN, and many more states and cities.

    I complained so much that they started telling me "I was past due on payments". This was a lie since we had every cancelled check, and not once were we late, including the time they said we were past due. (we paid 9 days early) Then they tried to get us to let them draw the funds directly from our account (not a chance). They would send all these notices to me on the internet, yet I could not respond or contact them, on the internet.

    How does that work? Finally, my computer said it was unable to find my device. I called T-mobile. They said they will call me right back. Never heard from them again. Would hang up on me if they answered the phone. Sent the device back registered (while still current). Notified them they do not provide product as represented. Threatened to ruin my credit (not fix problem, ruin credit). Unless you are a charity that gives money to lost causes, don't do business with these people. Have no viable network that works for people who move around. If retired, looking for saving, use large retailers, prepaid phones, or AARP. If on the move, prepaid seems to be the best.

    I had signed up for unlimited data family plan, on November 28 I checked my account on the internet as my phone was not working to find I had EXCEEDED the unlimited data...that after 4 years of my phone ALWAYS showing a message that it was not allowed to register on the T-mobile network. For 4 years I spoke with T-mobile support and was ALWAYS starting the troubleshooting from the start, and always told you have to buy a new phone, each phone had the same issue, I even requested a new SIM card, and was denied.

    I did find out after moving to another carrier, the SIM card was bad, and simply needed to be replaced. More than that, I was going to get a new phone for the mother-in-law, the salesman said they no longer offered discounts on phones, because they no longer had contracts. I paid $550 for a phone AND then found out they signed me up for a 2 year contract...arghhh!! After I cancelled my service on 11-28, they sent my final bill, which was $328, I had paid $398 and found out there was also a $250 deposit.....They said they owed me $60.

    I called to find out why the numbers did not add up, and why they would charge me through Dec. 8 when service was cancelled on 11-28. The agent told me that because I cancelled, the billing plan (which was supposed to be $180 a month plus taxes and fees) was changed to a more expensive plan because it was cancelled before the end of billing, and that since the service was cancelled and the billing changed, they could not change it back. REALLY?!

    After hours on the phone, I finally got the agent to agree to at least refund $140 of what I was owed....not what I should have received, but at least part of my money right? So I thought, 60 days, still no refund, and a call to them, they have no clue who I am or what I am speaking about...and when you offer to send THEIR documentation, they do not have an address to send it to......

    All I really wanted was phone service. I paid the bill per our contract, but T-mobile does not hold up their end of the bargain, and the amount of calls for jobs I missed, and email that were missed is unreal...and when you call, it is always your fault. All I can say is stay FAR FAR FAR away from T-mobile. They will steal from you, convince you that somehow it's your fault, lie to you, and if you leave, take you for more money.

    Switched to T-Mobile July 2014. I signed up for the family plan - 4 lines for $100.00. I called to ask questions. The rep was very nice, said if I completed my purchase through her over the phone, I would get a better rate, and phones would be shipped quickly. Wait for it... wait for it... and more than 30 days later I received our phones. By this time, I had already gotten my 1st bill. I called T-Mobile and advised them the phones had not yet been received. I was given a small prorated credit when phones finally arrived. Great. But, every time you have a question you’re on hold for an hour then the nice rep says go into the store for assistance.

    I had to hurry and get my final bill from my old carrier, box up my old phones, send the RMA# and a completed, required form. This required for my ETF rebate. There was a deadline to everything. But, because I didn't have things done in a timely manner from T-Mobile's end, I was put on a time crunch. Ok. Finally, I have their preprinted label to send everything in. I followed instructions succinctly. I have been told over and over it's processing. Give it time. Back and forth from the store to phone calls, hours upon hours to track my ETF rebate. I've been finally told you should see something in a couple of weeks.

    That was November. Nothing yet. I keep calling, holding and get nowhere. Now the final straw, my ETF rebate has been declined since they say I never mailed anything back to them. OH MY GOODNESS. Are you kidding me??? I've tried and tried to follow up. I get a different response each time I call or go into the store. Sometimes I'm not able to hold for 45-60 minutes. And, the response is incorrect when I call, so why bother?

    Don't ask for a Supervisor - that will make you hold for another hour or you're advised they can't do any more for me than the rep I'm already speaking with. Hair pulling, tears, ready to jump off a bridge from frustration and no resolution. I think I have sent e-mails to Executives - no response yet. I hope they really work for T-Mobile. Please, can't someone help me? Please.

    I am so upset right now and feel as though the ETF Reimbursement was a total RIP OFF. I switched my service from Verizon to T-mobile, which now feels like the BIGGEST mistake ever. I received my Debit/Credit card from T-mobile and called and activated it. I called Verizon to take care of the ETF and provided them with the T-Mobile Debit card #'s, they were unable to process the card as debit, credit or gift card and advised me to contact T-mobile. I called T-Mobile and the rep advised that nothing was wrong with the card, it was activated and that she would "further" activate it with a PIN of my chose and that I would need to call Verizon back and advise them to run it as a Debit card.

    So, I called Verizon back and the same issue occurred with an error of "INVALID NUMBERS/DATA" and I asked to talk to a Verizon manager. The manager advised me that they have been having the same issue with every customer that is calling in with a T-mobile Reimbursement card and that T-Mobile would have to rectify the issue. I am so dissatisfied with T-Mobile to say the least and am seriously considering taking my 3 lines back to Verizon. And let me not get started on the dropped calls and horrible reception that I have on T-Mobile network... I do believe that 3-5 dropped calls per day/EVERYDAY is just plain ridiculous.

I asked since I've purchased multiple chargers over the years, can I get this one no charge since the last one I purchased lasted about 6 months max. He wouldn't do it. 12-15 years loyalty and they can't give me a freaking car charger? I have never asked them for anything "free" before. I pay them $161 per month as I also purchased a Samsung phone and iPad through them. They can't give me ONE "free" car charger to make up for the lousy ones they've sold me over the years?

    I am amazed on how bad the experience I had to struggle with T-Mobile was. I had them for 3 years. I had no choice - parents chose phone plan. I had problems with T-mobile throughout my entire junior summer going into freshman year of college. I switched phones with them 5 times. 3 warranty exchanges for my galaxy light. A nexus field engineer gave me to test with. And later an iPhone 5c. Throughout high school I would miss social events due to miss texts. I also would get lost due to loss of GPS signal. I would never be able to listen to SoundCloud without it skipping songs. Delayed texts, duplicate texts, dropped calls you name it I have had it.

    My experience went up to the president of communications with the company. My biggest problem with them was how poor the call quality was. I could never understand a word people would say. Well with these problems going on for almost two years and me not being able to do anything about it and being surrounded by people my age with the phone experience that I could not get, I became depressed.

    I know this sounds crazy but it pushed me to the limits and set me over the edge when other T-Mobile customers would have better service than me and I would have endless problems that no matter how much work I did with my own field experience engineer that worked for the company or any of the dumb reps over the phone I talked to, nothing changed over that long amount of time.

So I have the copies back in November for changes to be effective for December.

    Also, they lied about my initial plan when I first started it. I was told that the data sharing was for all the devices on my account, including the air card / mobile hotspot. It is very easy to remember this since the second phone on the account has no data capacity.

Since my billing cycle was of from 23rd, the customer care agent assured that the charge will not be made on 23rd.

    Also since I needed service till 27th, he suggested me to go for $10 plan ($2/day). I refilled my account with $10. But unexpected the $50.75 was deducted from my account and it was never returned. It was a tough deal for me to do a follow up at US being at India. I contacted number of time to T-Mobile for the status, every time, they assured me to refund the amount but they never did. I shared my India number and email id too to contact me back.

I also brought my parents over, but when my Dad tried to add themselves to our account, the rep they spoke with created a new account, and moved us over instead. For the next three days I had to deal with phone and store reps to sort out the mess that included phone sims being deactivated, billing issues, etc. Finally everything was squared up and I thought the worst was behind us. However, after checking my credit this December, I found that a collection had been opened against me in November by T-Mobile. No one EVER contacted me, even though I was a current customer.

    What happened is the EIP agreement for the grey iPhone was under my original account with my credit, and the exchanged iPhone that had to go on a new EIP (T-Mobile was unable to bring EIP plans over at the time), was on the new plan under my Dad's name. Forget that there shouldn't have been a new account in the first place. T-Mobile could have tried to contact me about the balance, or looked at their records that show the grey phone as returned.

    When I contacted them about this they stated that I had to contact the collection agency, and there was nothing they could do because the account was closed. Despite the bad data speeds with Sprint, they never did this, and their customer service issues were generally negligible. I have had several other incidents of incompetence, or just lies from phone reps at T-Mobile. I'll be taking my business to FreedomPop, and encouraging everyone I know to NEVER use them.

    Based on T-Mobile's coverage map, I should have a "Very Strong" 4G LTE signal at my home and throughout my neighborhood, yet I am lucky to reliably get 2/5 bars on my iPhone 5S. I had the same experience with several other Nokia cell phones. All this despite installing their loaner in home signal amplifier, nothing but equivocation, disclaimers and excuses..... Only alternative is to contact the State Attorney General for consumer affairs....

    I had been with T-Mobile for over 2 years. Contract ran out in July 2014. So, I was not under contract when I switched to another carrier. Before switching, I was told as long as I switched before the due date that I would not incur new charges for the new month as you pay ahead for the new month's service. I switched to another carrier before the due date & T-Mobile is trying to charge me for a whole new month's service even though I am now with a new provider. I & my husband both called T-Mobile's customer service numerous times & were given numerous excuses... that include:

    1) Told we have to pay new month because we didn't give them notice --- we are not under contract, so that makes no sense at all, plus not being under contract anymore means we can do whatever we want as far as picking a service provider;
    2) Told we were being charged to port numbers (that are our numbers) to a new carrier --- new provider said there should be no such charge & that we should not owe T-Mobile anything at all;

    3) That we terminated our agreement --- again, our contract was up in July, almost 6 months ago, so we should not owe them anything because contract is long expired.

    We have tried numerous times to contact T-Mobile to no avail to resolve this issue. We should not have to pay them for services we are not receiving from them. This has to be illegal. I asked someone from our new provider what we should do outside calling T-Mobile's customer service & we were told to report T-Mobile to FCC, BBB, Consumer Affairs, etc. This is ridiculous & had I known we would be treated this way by T-Mobile, we never would have been their customers.... Guess this explains why they are losing so many customers to other carriers. Please help stop T-Mobile from robbing & taking advantage of customers... This is disgraceful conduct by their company & they need to be stopped!

    I bought a cell phone at T-Mobile and 5 months later the cell had problems. They told me that they're going to change my cell but I will be charged 5 dollars, 3 days later I received a call telling me that it will be 20, and now they charged me 50.

    I am currently going through a dispute with T-Mobile at the moment. I have been with T-Mobile for more than 7 years and will be closing my account now. I have had a family line for my husband, myself, and my oldest daughter. We've gone through many phones throughout the years with no problems. We've sent our phones back through USPS like always, but this time we are being charged $680 for a phone that got lost by USPS. We did our diligence and returned the phone, but we are being charged. I am through with T-Mobile. I would rather find another carrier or not have a cell phone and worry about these problems. I've been a customer for many years and have always sent back our phones with no problem, so why treat a long time customer so wrongly? What they are willing to do is allow payment arrangements. I refuse to stay with a company like this.

    T-Mobile could not provide service at my 96 year old father's retirement village. So I took my father to T-Mobile to get his phone released. My father owned the phone, we had written instructions from AT&T on what we needed. The TM rep read the instructions, gave us a 4 digit unlock code and told us we were good to go. Went to AT&T, bought a plan, then tried to unlock the phone. The code didn't work. Called TM customer service. Told me the TM account was closed (transferred to AT&T) so he couldn't help me. The TM agent said I should have gone to TM first, explained to him we did and the TM store agent screwed up. TM customer service said too bad, it was my problem now. 6 calls to TM customer service, 3 weeks later and phone is still not unlocked. Had to buy another phone. STAY AWAY FROM TM!!!

    Last month got a bill of $222.16 due date 12/16. On 12/4 paid $87.26 which I put towards EIP (iPhone 6). So the bill came down to $134.90 which I owed and paid 135.16$ on the due date so technically I have paid the 222.16$. But not according to them. I still owed 222.16 and only paid 135.16 and so on my new bill they put the 87.26$ as balance I owe them plus this month's which adds to 304$. Their explanation is I put money towards the iPhone 6 not the bill so I still owe them the 87.26$. What they should have done is keep the bill as it was not change it to reflect that I owed 134.90 which according to them I should have paid the 222.16$ plus the 87.26$ on the due date. Now I have to pay them the 87.26$ extra and I want to know where it's going. They have no answers. All they care is I owe them. They are a bunch of robbers!!!!!

    In Sept 14, we went with t-mobile. We had 1 month old Galaxy 5 we had just purchased from ATT. They gave such a sweet in store deal in Oxon Hill, MD. They said we would get a 350.00 credit for each line. We transfer two lines. He also told to turn in our Galaxy 5 for the credit, we did, then the ETF. Then all of a sudden since we weren't under any contract with ATT, no ETF. The salesman in the store assured us that they would pay us for the device again up to $350. Per phone to date, no credit, no device payment, they have our new phones. We were also told to wait on the credit before payment so the bill got so high waiting. They cut the phones off...... ** Charles **

    Well let's start by saying I have never had a problem with my T-Mobile service until now. I paid my monthly bill as usual and everything was great. Three days later I received a text message from T-Mobile saying I used up all my hotspot data 5/5g. I have never seen a text message like this before so I thought it was pretty odd. I thought I received this message by mistake since I was on twelve hour shifts the past few days and hadn't used my hotspot yet. So I decided to call T-Mobile and spoke to their rep and she said all they could see was that I had used up my five gigs.

    I asked to speak with a manager. Soon I was in contact with a manager and she basically told me the same thing very unprofessional and transferred me to tech support. Tech support told me that something looked very odd because that's a lot of data for three days. I agreed and he also told me there was nothing he could do for me because they're not allowed to reimburse data. Great, so what now? He said he would put notes in the system but other than that I'm basically out until next billing cycle.

    I canceled my T-Mobile account when the contract expired in April of 2014. I had a Samsung T-249 (old phone) and it was paid off. Now all of a sudden I am Mr. Popular with them because I wanted to cancel my 17-year service. I told them I was done because was tired of dropped calls and also receiving txt from operator number only with a number demanding I pay my bill which was on auto-pay anyway. I called several times about this with no help and I patiently waited for the contract date to be up. On that morning I called again and got directed to a supervisor to a billing rep and then a billing supervisor.

    By this time I was real upset and just told them again I wanted to cancel. Paid my bill due next day and the person I was talking to, said I could use the phone free next month and they would cancel at that time if there was no word from me. This way I could maybe change my mind because of loyal continuous service for 17 years. Why was I leaving - I told her and she said they could tell that operator not send me texts like that anymore. I said “Too late,” also dropped called and other bs from them I was tired of.

    Now I didn’t check to see if my contract was actually canceled but should have as I always see payment show up on daily bank statement online. Didn’t see anything there next month and thought that was the end. 90 days later got a bill and a notice of sending to collections. Look I am 62 years old on permanent SSDI and a seizure disorder among other things I rely on auto pay to take the headache from me about paying bills. When I get a notice like that I get real upset. I called several times to talk to someone and couldn’t get past the initial recording to redirect and tried online but my login was no longer valid.

    Now I am here because my credit score shows collection and I already paid the bill the day I wanted to cancel service in April 2014. This is not right and when you are in the right no one seems to care but when I wanted to leave I had all kinds of help. It is one of the main reasons for leaving. This is ruining my credit and my score is worse and I was paying off other things and getting my credit up. To give them a call back number, they claimed that they couldn't understand what I was saying.

    T-Mobile’s robbed me. Not only have they affected my credit they also billed extra charges that were not possibly my Daughter or mine's charges. T-Mobile automatically added them. My Daughter and I live in separate houses. How could we have both added the exact same service on the exact same day? This was the third time this had happened. Along with the fact that my billing amounts kept jumping all over the place. I want the detail of my bill to make sense. They did not, left the company. Tried to go back, due to them controlling my phone multiple problems. Went back for three days, with more problems than ever!

    Bottom line: Having to sue them affected my credit. Not doing it cell phone company’s way. They are all ripping people off. Don't know that Verizon is doing that. However, what I do know and have learned is: T-Mobile, AT&T, and now Sprint who is my current cell phone provider has been SUED by the Federal Trade Commission. SPRINT IS ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE IN MY OPINION. This little guy is tied of being taking advantage of because of not understanding and just paying the bill! I am currently ready to file suit against T-MOBILE AND SPRINT. :)

    I have a T-Mobile family line and paying bill regularly, but I was shocked to see $500+ charges for international calls in my last month's bill. Despite all explanation and even talking to loyalty department of T-Mobile did not help in any ways to either take care of those charges or even a settlement on it. I have been a genuinely good customer, and hoped that T-Mobile will do something about the charges but they are arrogantly adamant about charges.

    I signed up for T-Mobile wireless phone service in August 29th, 2014. I had the 'FAMILY NO-CONTRACT PLAN' for a $100.00 monthly charge for 4 lines - a promotional plan in 2014. When the first came, I noticed the additional charges ran the bill up to $35.00 extra dollars the first month. I paid the bill quietly and opted to change carriers on the 10th of October 2014.

    I changed to a new carrier, called T-Mobile to cancel my 4 lines and made the switch. 2 months after the switch, T-Mobile sends me a bill for 2 months claiming that one of the 4 lines was no cancelled and remained active. I asked to check if the line was being used during the 2 months; they said no. I then asked what the problem was - they continued to repeat the line that the line was not removed and it does not matter whether it was being used or not, I was financially responsible for the bill. I told them I was not liable. Next thing, I received a call from collection company for the same claim. I calmly told them I was not owing T-Mobile. I am determined to follow up this false claim to the highest level I am allowed legally, I want to protect future consumers from such unfair and deceitful practices.
