    I have been having issues with the customer service as they don't understand English very well and they don't have the necessary skills. I have asked them to put me through to someone in my own country but they don't. T-Mobile should run their business in a professional manner and respect their customers.

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

    Again, telephone service is optional. We don't HAVE to have a phone. The company might want to consider that when making decisions about spamming customers with surveys trying to force them to buy unsellable warehouse surplus. I don't have a choice about my corporation commission caring nothing for consumers that are prey to utility companies but I do have a choice with the telephone - it's not a necessity for life.

    I am using Samsung note 3.0 under contract with T-Mobile. I have installed OS 5.0 then issues started which made I can't use my mobile now. I was followed up with T-mobile tech team. They just gave me some sugar quoted solutions and agreed and asked me live with these issues and can't do anything. I am living with issues with my mobile.

    Today I called T-Mobile for the umpteenth time to receive yet again absolutely no help. After numerous troubleshooting fails, my phone still does not work. At the time I called T-Mobile before any physical damage I was forced into not replacing the phone, only to find out that I can't get a new phone because of a new crack. I was then offered a laughable amount from the "loyalty department" and transferred to the nastiest person in the cancellation unit. After 11 years of service I'm done. Poor customer service, poor telephone service, and I'm poor from additional fees and changes.

    For three days I lost service on my iPhone 4. I am on T-Mobile's prepaid plan and had just paid my bill so my account definitely wasn't empty. I called T-Mobile and they were very helpful and simply told me to reset the factory settings on my phone. After doing so, I have service once again but it is very very weak service. It is so weak I actually have to climb onto my roof in order to send a text message or make a call. Almost anywhere I go I can only seem to get up to three bars and I am always waiting (sometimes up to a few minutes) for a text message to send. I have experienced many failed calls as well. At this point I am considering switching to a different carrier since I am tired of wasting so much time waiting for my calls/texts to go through.

    I called T-Mobile to establish service which I said would be a transfer from Verizon for iPhone and iPad that I purchased from Apple. The salesperson obtained information about my devices including the serial numbers and model numbers and said they would both work wirelessly with T-Mobile service. She required my social security number and a credit check. She sent me SIM cards. I took them to a T-Movile technician with my devices AND HE SAID THEY WOULD NOT WORK. T-Mobile refuses to delete my private information from their records. It was given unwillingly as a necessity for service which the salesperson should have known would not work.

    I paid in advance for my cell service, told I could cancel at anytime. I had the worse connection possible and customer service was just pitiful. As consumers we all have been violated with all these extra charges. My bill was $45 and some change a month. I cancelled before my due date and T-Mobile are sending me a bill for 2 months. We need to get a lawyer and file a class action law suit. Everyone pays in advance for their phone service, if you don't pay your service it is disconnected.

    Okay my parents was at Straight Talk. After 3 full years of being charged for an extra phone I found the billing issue and they never made it right but anyway T-Mobile is just as bad. I switched from Net10. I was happy with AT&T Net10 service. I decided to save money and said well T-Mobile should be better now - yeah right. We started off okay. Will just keep the phones we had - bad idea. But this is where it turns for the worst.

    The corporate T-Mobile store has the wrong prices on the phones on purpose. So instead of paying 17 bucks a month they make us pay 21 a month for 2 phones. We are almost paid off thankfully. So that was the first lie. I went thru 5 phones - one of the phones came water damaged and they charged me insurance for that one. Even though they sent me this water damaged phone under warranty replacement. Then a week later I dropped the z1s and broke the screen. I took it and broke it as much as possible since it's a insurance claim.

    So then I sent it back to the insurance company. I got a lower grade s4 for my replacement and my insurance went up. After that I dropped insurance on my s4 since well it's not worth that much. I still have insurance because I found out that phone was 100 percent plastic. Not even glass as they stated. So the phone was not the quality they claimed. Now I'm stuck with service. All our lines - all four of our lines loses service from T-Mobile constantly and they will not fix the problems. We are stuck with T-Mobile for another year.

    I will never buy another phone from them. And will not buy T-Mobile branded phones since most of them are fakes. Our service is expensive and they will not match Sprint's service plans. Next year I will be switching to AT&T service and my parents too. I don't want to have Sprint pay off our plans because our phones we have so much invested and we would just lose even more money. Do not think T-Mobile is a good idea. Go to Sprint if you live in a populated area. T-Mobile is not a good company. Stay away from their prepaid service as well. Metro, Family Mobile, Net10, T-Mobile, etc.

    Well for last 5 years of service I have had to go outside to be able to get service on my phone. Of course I stayed with them and last November they recommended a personal cell spot router that still did not work. I still missed very important work related and medical related calls. Yet I stayed with them. I think over that last 6 months I started to receive automated calls. “Your bill is due in 14 days. Your bill is due in 12 days,” and so on and so on. Well I called T-Mobile and they gave a different answer over time. The last one was that the FCC told them they had to do it. AT&T and Verizon knew nothing of this and the calls were like early in the morning on a Sunday. So the last time I told them if they can't change it I am going to have to find a new carrier. It didn't seem to bother them a bit.

    Oh yeah the brand new IPHONE I just bought from them they told me it was worth $150.00 and the $10.00 I was paying on insurance. If I were to lose it, break it or anything it would cost me $175.00 to replace. My next step was to get the personal cell spot router back to T-Mobile and overtime I called they wanted $59.00. I told them since I had to switch service I am going to pay you $10.00 a month until it is paid and the first person told me I could just take the router to my local store. So I did and they knew nothing about it and the lazy rep could not or would not call someone for help so I did and the first thing I heard from the phone reps voice was. “So I see you have a balance off $109.00 and how would you like to pay?” And I had to explain about my payment arrangement and that is not what I am calling about. I finally got someone who would talk to the store rep. This is all on my phone.

    The store rep talks to the phone rep for about 5 minutes and it seems as if they are on the same page. So she hangs up and messes with the computer some more and then tells me she can't do it. So I had to make more calls to T-Mobile and overtime it was just about collecting the money. Then someone told me they were emailing me a billing label for their device and that never happened. Then one more embarrassing call and finally found someone who knew what they were doing and I got my billing label emailed to me. Now I am getting harassing calls from T-Mobile almost every day now. But the good news is I am with AT&T now and it is a flat rate of 60.00 dollars and if I lose my phone I just pay a little over $50.00 to replace it. I have gone through every site I could including FB to complain about T-Mobile and I will not stop until I cost them 100x more money than they have cost me.

    I've had T-Mobile for a couple years. Over that time I've lived in two cities. In both I have constantly had issues with dropped calls, texts that won't go through or I don't receive for hours and hours after they are sent and pretty much any other coverage issues you can think of. I use my phone for business and have seen that clients have tried calling/texting me and it just never gets through. My current home is a complete dead spot. I have to walk in my backyard to make a call.

    I apparently am in a great area for signal, or so I've been told when I've talked to T-Mobile representatives. I can't imagine what a bad area must be like. I had Verizon and switched to T-Mobile to save a buck. I'm getting ready to change service again and try AT&T. Maybe it will be a happy middle ground. My advice to anyone considering T-Mobile is just spend the extra money and go with a better provider. It's worth it. Everyone I know that has had T-Mobile has had the same problems.

    Before my family went for Bermuda cruise operated by Norwegian Cruise Line from 05/17/2015 to 05/24/2015, I called the T-Mobile customer Service and checked for the text message charge of the ship on Norwegian Breakaway while the ship sail away from the port. The agent just gave me the information of 50 cents per text message while we make on the ship, they didn't mention about the limited characters of the text message. So I told my wife and son that the text message charge is 50 cents per text, and I told them not to make over two messages each day while on the ship. Last week, I went online and checked the bill from T-Mobile.com, I was confused that the bill was $140 more than the regular monthly charge, then I found the over charge was from the text messages that happened in the Bermuda cruise.

    I contacted with the T-Mobile customer service, asked them why they charged the same text message from 5 to 117 times of 50 cents. The answer was 180 is the limited characters for each text message, I requested for the credit because the T-Mobile customer agent was responsible for not giving me the exact information before we went to the Bermuda Cruise, but the T-Mobile agent and manager rejected. By the way, we have stayed with T-Mobile as customer for over ten years.

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

    After being with T-Mobile for over 15 years, we switched 4 of our 5 lines to AT&T because of reception issues where we live. On the one line that remains, we have been fighting for 6 months to complete a transfer of responsibility to my son who only stays with T-Mobile to finish paying for his phone. He called to make a payment arrangement on the account then paid the first installment early because he had to go out of town on a job assignment. He gave them the correct card information for the payment and for the payment arrangement. They charged his card AND charged my card which I had left on the account when I covered his last payment for him.

    I was LIVID!! I called them and they refused to cancel the pending transaction on my card. They promised to refund me the charge plus overdraft charges the amount will cause but said it would take 7-10 business days to get my money. I am so glad I left T-Mobile and my son is working on getting away from them also.

    I was so excited to hear that T-Mobile had no contract and would pay for disconnection fees from the other carrier. I went to the T-Mobile store and gladly handed over my new Note 4, a Galaxy 5, and a iPhone 5. To my surprise the person who helped me did not explain what I had to do correctly which delayed the process. I called customer service and was told that I would get my reimbursement in 8 weeks.

    Well eight weeks passed and nothing. I called customer service again. They switched me from one person to another. I was in the phone for 2 hours trying to get the reimbursement. Note: Verizon is charging me monthly fees for the phones and disconnection fees. March, April, May and June. Total 2,284.12. At this point I paid Verizon because I didn't want to ruin my credit. T-Mobile took my brand new phones and told me "sorry, but you did not qualify for the reimbursement" because I filed the papers late according to the rules and regulations. So I got jacked by T-Mobile and paid Verizon. I still have a T-Mobile account and paying for the same phones I handed over to T-Mobile when I switched from Verizon to T-Mobile. I need to lawyer up. T-Mobile owes me 2,284.12.

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

    It has been 8 months. I communicated back and forth with T-Mobile with no result. It started last September when I bought a new iPhone 6 at our local store. T-Mobile charge me 3 times the value of iPhone and refunded only one. I initiated a charge back, and around December 2014 the bank credited me the amount which is $490.02.

I emailed T-Mobile and showed the evidence and some documents but they can't help me. T-Force and the Manager get involved but they tell me they can't help and basically tell me to disappear.

    So I'm traveling from New York City to Orlando on vacation. My Galaxy S5 charger port didn't work. I looked online for a T-Mobile retailer who is a professional to fix my phone. I found one near my hotel at 9924 Universal Blvd. No problem. I took a drive to the store and meet with a representative named **. I spoke with ** for about 10 mins as he checked out my phone. He discovered what I had already told him. My charger port does not work. ** broke my screen and now asking me to pay him an extra 140+40 for charger port. He first told me he could fix in a hour so I said ok and went to my hotel room. I came back in exactly a hour and 20 minutes. He was in front of the store smoking a cigarette. He left the store unattended. He wasn't nice, very rude but didn't pay much mind to it since I'm on vacation and I needed him more than he needed me.

    He probably figured I had some money since I was on vacation. He is a professional and does 100s of phones a month. He couldn't have broke my screen unless it was on purpose or he just switched it with the bad one I saw on the table. It will be cool if T-Mobile doesn't fix it or give me my screen how I gave it to them. But I will not give him any more money than what I'm supposed to. I just want to get out the message. Do NOT TAKE YOUR PHONE to 9924 Universal Blvd. in Orlando Florida 32819. He will switch parts and try to make extra money on you. He tried to sell me a screen under the table for cash only no tax. Every T-Mobile location charges you tax. I just want my phone. He wants to rip me off.

REALLY, you can't hire people smart enough to read a bill? So customer services says I need to re-email everything. I asked, "how long until you reimburse if I resend tomorrow."

    I started with T-Mobile in May of 2014. I decided to switch from Sprint to T-Mobile because of their EFT Reimbursement program and because a work discount made T-Mobile cheaper. When I was in the store, the lady got all of my account info, had me pull up my billing, verified that because it was under $400 it would all be covered, and assured me that my work discount had been set up. I left the store thinking I was good to go and didn't need to do anything further.

    Four months later, I still wasn't seeing my 17% work discount and a collections letter from Sprint was forwarded to my new address. I was upset about the discount, but I was livid about the collections notice - I was laid off in the fall of 2013 and went 10 weeks without a paycheck. During that time I know my credit took a hit due to a closed account. I'd been working really hard to build up my credit again and hadn't had so much as a late payment in 18 months, and now a collections notice for an account I had been told was taken care of. I called in to T-Mobile and that act alone is a nightmare. I called in, sat on hold for 20 minutes, was transferred to another line, sat on hold, and then the call dropped. This happened two or three times. I don't usually blame a call center for dropped calls, except for I was using their service to make the call.

    I finally talked to a girl and she explained something 150% different than what the girl in the store explained. Sprint was never paid off and my discount was never applied because there were 4 or 5 steps to each, that were like an online homework assignment. She promised to backdate the discount being added and apologized for the misinformation about my Sprint account. Of course there was no recourse for this and no apology could fix that. I still get angry over it. She also explained though that with the EFT program it can take weeks to get your prepaid card and I was better off paying for it myself.

    I went ahead and paid off the collections notice, then I followed the steps to get my work discount, and I submitted the info or my reimbursement. It wasn't hard, a lot of little busy work items. If it had been explained properly in the store it wouldn't have been an issue. HOWEVER, the girl in the store told me everything with canceling Sprint would be covered, which was false. Out of the $350, only $132 was actually covered. I wouldn't have switched if I had known only a small portion was covered.

    My bill did drop some the next month by about $40 (she may have backdated it by a month or so, but definitely not back to the start date as promised) and I was happy about that. My happiness faded though when the next month, my bill SKYROCKETED to $180. That's right, it started at $120, dropped to $80, and then I was expecting it to be able $100 a month. But the next bill went to $180, undoing any discount I saw the previous month. After that it always stayed in the $115-$130 range. Their billing is terrible. How does a person with unlimited everything have a bill that changes monthly??? And there is absolutely no breakdown on the bill or online.

    I decided to jump on my parents family plan with Verizon in Spring of 2015 (less than a year of T-Mobile is a year too much). They always advertise about how they have no contracts and no cancellation fees, which I find misleading. I owed $368 on my device when I cancelled. My final bill should be about that much, right? WRONG. It was $564. I got a letter explaining that $92 was for service that hadn't been paid for yet, but that would still leave me at a total of $460. Somehow, I owe $100 more with ZERO explanation. I called to set up a payment plan, and they kind of corner you. I was assuming I could just pay $100 a week, but they make you pay the balance over 1-4 payments. You can't have more than 4 payments no matter what the original amount it. You also have to authorize them to draft you, if not they'll send it to collections.

    I've worked for big companies before (GEICO) and as long as people kept making payments, we couldn't send them to collections. They could call and make payments on your own. T-Mobile insists that if you don't set up a plan and allow them to draft you then you'll go to collections. I don't know if that's true, but after the Sprint collections issue, I didn't want to test them. You also can't really sell the device until it's paid off, because if anyone buys it they'll tell them that if you don't make the payment, they'll lock the device.

    Overall, the service was pretty bad. The customer service was even worse. There's no communication between corporate and the stores, or even within the people at corporate. Always a different answer or explanation. It cost me hundreds more than it should have when I went through and added up all of my payments. Twenty extra here and there, plus never seeing a 17% discount that I was promised; it all added up. Because of their terrible communication (or lack of training and understanding) at the store level, I have a blimp on my credit score. My credit was finally going back up and boom... guess I'll put off buying a new car. OH, AND DID I MENTION AFTER I MADE THE SPRINT PAYMENT, IT TOOK 5 MONTHS TO GET MY REIMBURSEMENT CARD. YES, 5 MONTHS. THAT IS INSANE.

    Today my wife and I both were on the phone with T-Mobile to shop for a new Samsung Galaxy S5 phone for her. At first they offered the same price they currently have online. We asked for a good deal, and the sales rep came back with a better price. Having been bitten before, we were very careful so we asked for every details that we could think of, mostly about possible hidden charges and terms and conditions, since we had been hit with this before. After nearly an hour, at the very last moment right before we would agree to place the order, my wife asked about the warranty and got the answer that it was 90 days.

    We were surprised, since new phones usually have 1 year warranty. Upon further questioning, it turned out that THEY TRIED TO SELL US A USED PHONE WITHOUT TELLING US. This is the sickest thing that I've experienced from T-Mobile. This blew away the bad service, the weak signals and the overcharges that we had from them before. Sale rep's name: **, 2nd sales rep name: ** (supposed to be the first rep's manager, but I'm not sure about that).

They also said they didn't even know where the S4 was so they are doing a search. T-Mobile is a horrible company. From the phone support, the stores, and the services.

    Original Review: June 7, 2015

    I have a T-Mobile prepaid phone for 5 years. My balance was $211.00 approximately. I use the phone for emergency when I take my wife, who is paralyzed for 13 years, to the hospital. The last time I turned it on was in December 2014. Today (6-6-2015) I turned the phone on and it would not connect. I called T-Mobile and was told that my plan was discontinued in March 2015. T-Mobile said that they sent me text messages about the plan being discontinued and I no longer have a recourse to use the money for another plan. T-Mobile has my e-mail address. T-Mobile has my home address. T-Mobile has my home phone number. T-Mobile does not send letters. How was I to know about the changes if I don't turn on the phone? I am curious as to how many other customers lost their money.

    T-mobile bill statements are lame: 1) Won't show names of other folks on your account, the web bills show all the names of all the phones whereas the actual bill or the PDF statement shows no one else. 2) Won't show bills older than a year, charges 5$ for older bills - no other bank or business does this, at least they let you take a print online. This is such a pain when you suddenly need Proof of address and you neither have bills on your name nor do they give bills older than a year. What a trap!!

    My T-Mobile account was fraudulently used by someone who ordered four phones in my name totaling $3,750.72. They used the last four digits of my social security number and my name. T-Mobile acknowledge the fraud and said they were investigating and they would take charges off my account, which they did. However, upon finding out this info, I had to order a monthly protection plan with Equifax to put security alert on my credit, because I fear they might have the whole number. I called T-Mobile to get something in writing stating the identity theft, so I can take it to the proper authorities. The representative told me that there is nothing that they can give me. They do not have statement letters like that. The only thing they can do is to put a security alert on my T-Mobile account, so if anyone tries to buy any more phones they will have to show the proper identification.

    I asked to speak to supervisor and representative told me supervisor will tell me the same thing. I feel this was an inside job. How can T-Mobile acknowledge that this fraudulent activity have happened and someone is using their customer's social security number fraudulently and you're not trying to help the customer protect their interest by giving them a copy of the fraudulent activity on their account? Is T-Mobile afraid to let the public know that their state of the art system is being hacked or the fraudulent activities is an inside job? Customers' accounts are being hacked with all their personal information.

    I switched to T-Mobile in October 2014 because of the promotion they were advertising on new phones and paying off early termination fees. I bought two iPhones and an upgraded SIM card for a Samsung Galaxy. Early termination fees? Good luck with that one. They are very misleading and unwilling to pay. Their ETF promise is a joke. I put in ETF request for phones I brought when switching over. I received a e-mail from T-Mobile stating that they received my request and is working on it. Finally after waiting for more than 8 weeks, I called and they said they don't have any record of me requesting a ETF. I said, "But I have a email you sent me saying you received my request." Representative said I should try to put ETF through again, but don't be surprised if they deny it because your time to request for ETF has expired.

    Really? T-Mobile, this not the way you treat your customers. No, thank you! As soon as I finish paying off the phones I bought, I will be cancelling my service with you and all my friends and family members will be cancelling. I have a big social media follower! Shame on you T-Mobile. Consumers, stay far away from this company. You will regret it.

I was suppose to get the replacement phone after 5-7 business day. But it's going two months now and they never sent any replacement phone. Each time I called the T-Mobile customer care, they rudely tell me that I should keep on waiting till I hear from them. Apparently they are not doing anything to replace the phone.

To call customer service, that was a weekend and the number they gave it's only for office hours. So I called Monday and the rep told me to start all the process again. After 45 minutes he told me my order didn't went through, and he asked to go to the store for identity proof.

    I went to store and explain the situation to the the salesperson. He started all over again. And at the end because they have to take my money again (from my credit card), payment didn't went through because my credit line is $1,000. And they charged me once, so he told me they put a hold on my credit card and will clear in 5 days, return after 5 days and do it all over again. Bottom line, I'm not switching to T-mobile.

This month bill was still the same. I called again and again they told me to pay the full amount and that within 30 days they would fix the problem. They insisted that I should pay the full amount of the bill.

    Finally after some arguments they decided to credit me with the difference and that "they would take care of the problem". Ultimately, they sent me equipment I did not ask for, I returned them, they acknowledged that they had received over a month ago, they still wanted to charge me for this equipment and told me that I would have to wait at least another month for them to fix the problem.

First call for almost an hour on the phone in the evening with so many holds, we were on the final stage of the process while she was reading me all this terms and agreements when suddenly we got disconnected. No call back. She had my number, my email and already did a credit check, got my credit card number and all info but never heard of her again. I sit put for half an hour and tried calling them again but their office was closed already.

    Following day, during my work hours, tried calling them again for the second time to check if my order went through but it did not, went through the whole process but couldn't stay that long on the phone so this new person gave me a transaction number and a 1-800 number to call to finish my transaction when I have the time. Called that number and entered my order # but the automated voice machine said it wasn't in their system and have to try again in 2 hours. 3 hours later, still nothing.

    3rd time to call their Sales department and have to explain what happen, still end up going through the whole process. Trying to be patient with the foreign accent guy, giving all my info and telling him I don't have the luxury of time and was promised it will be quick and almost over... Well, after another 15 minutes of telling me again and again that it's almost over after spending over 15 minutes with him on the phone, I had enough. Well, if you can't get it done the first and second time, what kind of customer service can you expect?

    While ordering for the color of the phone they can't even tell me what color will ship in the box. The first person told me that if I don't like the color that will arrive I can always exchange it at the store. But the second person told me it don't work that way. Whatever they will send me, the store will have the same color in stock but I can't do the exchange over the store since I made the purchase over the phone so I have to ship it to get it exchange. Sounds like the same bait and situation I was in almost 10 years ago with this company. I guess I have to stick with AT&T unfortunately...

Only time they knew my balance was the day or 2 before the bill was due.

    I actually paid 2 full months worth in one month to make sure that I was paid ahead because billing is not straightforward. I called a few days after switching to another carrier (poor and declining coverage in my area) and asked what my final balance was. I was told a small charge and that I had a credit.

    On top of the text messaging scam they're allowing, trying to get out of a contract is no exception to the rule of their attempt at scamming their customers and ruining their credit with false charges.

    I had 4 phones and a tablet on my account, and I decided to upgrade to an iPhone 4S. Since T-Mobile didn't support iPhones at that time, I pretty much had to change providers and go with Verizon. I got on the phone with T-Mobile trying to explain to them that I wanted out of the contract, and had to pay for early termination fees, according to our contract. We spent 2 hours on the phone bouncing from one non-English speaking representative to another, and finally we got where we needed to be. We had to pay them nearly 12000.00 to terminate the contract without any pending payments, and they assured us that everything was in the clear. I even asked them to double-check to make sure and they said again that everything was free and clear. That would have been the last we would have heard from them, until....

    ...About 2 months later, we get a call from a bill collector saying we owed T-Mobile 600.00. They're trying to say that one of the payments never went through. I knew this was a lie because A: They assured us twice it did, and B: Why would one part of the payment not go through but the rest of the payments did? I told the bill collector that we already had it taken care of. We haven't heard another word back from them until....

    ...Another 2 months go by and I get another call from a bill collector, saying that we now owed T-Mobile 1200.00. So we went from owing nothing, to owing 600.00, to owing 1200.00. I'm seeing a pattern here. I angrily told the bill collector that I was going to say it only one more time and then I never want to hear from them again. I told them once again that we already took care of the bill and to remove our name from their call list or else legal action will be taken. Later on, I checked my credit report, and there was no mention of me ever owing T-Mobile anything... even still to this day. So let this be a HUGE lesson to everybody out there. If you are considering T-Mobile, DON'T! They are going to scam you out of money you don't even owe. Secondly, if you are already with T-Mobile, I would leave as soon as you can.

I also travel for business and have been cut off because when there are not enough T-Mobile towers, or no T-Mobile service, it goes to data roaming. I was told I needed to pay my phones and current bill off for the phones to be unlocked. Once the payment was credited (I checked and it was within 30 minutes,) it would take 30 minutes to an hour for the phones to be unlocked.

    After repeated phone calls and many representatives later I was told no request had been submitted for unlocking the phones and codes had to be sent to me via email or text. The last "supervisor" I spoke with told me it could take 2 days to 2 weeks, but it had been requested to be expedited. I was told all representatives I spoke to in the beginning of the process gave erroneous information. At this point I am unable to continue with AT&T. In my opinion this has to be a legal issue.

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

    They then tried billing me for some $1000 + which I told them I felt was inappropriate and did not believe I was responsible for. They sent it off for collection which I disputed in writing via notarized and certified letter. They stopped chasing it for more than a year but recently have started bouncing it to different collection agencies. Bottom line, I this seems like harassment. I have verbally told them not to contact me unless they wanted to take this to arbitration. What are my options and how do I deal with them?

    Money was taken from my account from T-Mobile which I haven't been a customer for a year. I approached T-Mobile yesterday to be advised had to go to bank. Gent was as helpful as he could be. Did what he said, went to bank, came back on instruction. Phoned T-Mobile again and I am angry upset at the service I received. The supervisor or manager should be ashamed of herself telling me money can't come out my account, not wording it but more or less saying I'm a liar. I'm disgusted. She hung on me as I advised she can't talk to me in that way. All they kept saying money wouldn't possibly been taken.

    Well for anyone reading it has and is now an investigation so that can't be taken has been taken. She should be ashamed of how she treated me as I'm the one that money has been taken. Also phone bill higher and to say I'm angry is a understatement. I've worked for customer service and know that not T-Mobile the company but the people they are employing that makes us say I will never deal with T-Mobile again.

    When I called T-Mobile to inquire about phone service, they lied through their teeth to get me in, then stuck it to me, stealing $15 a month from me, after I and my son invested over $400 in phones to commit to their service. I tried to resolve the issue with them to absolutely no avail. When a company quotes a price to you and you make a commitment to that price it should be illegal for them to change it after that. We need some hard, fast laws on the books to prevent this dishonest legal theft and the means to recover when done wrong. Until we get this, we can all expect to continue to be stolen of our hard-earned money every month by these thieves that run the phone systems.

    I had disconnected my prepaid service around a month back, and informed T-Mobile customer care on this. Still they deducted 50$ from my card as monthly charge. I called the customer care repeatedly 3 times they said complaint has been escalated and I will get back 50$ in 3-4 business days. Meanwhile I did port my number to AT&T.

    Now after 1 month when I called customer service they say that as my number was discontinued and ported, the payment will not be reimbursed as they can't access the account. This is some failure at their part and consumer is charged for service which is not used. When I ask for a higher authority mail ID, they don't have that so there is basically no complaint redress mechanism. I would like to highlight this case on whatever forum I come across coz more than 50$ I think it's my duty to make T-mobile realize their mistake. Thanks.

    In an attempt to control my expenses, I wanted to change my Pay As You Go monthly plan back to my old prepay. I was informed that product now termed prepaid legacy was no longer available, so i said ok close it. The representative said, "wait I'll talk to a supervisor and get it reinstated." It was okay-ed but what they didn't tell me was that all counters were to be reset, i.e. Golden Advantage which gives 10-cent-a-minute calls and 1-year validity, so I put on $10 and got outgoing calls at 33c/min incoming at 30c. If they had told me about the reset, I could have declined or whatever. Their solution was for me to put on $100 to re-establish golden rewards. I said heck no, that $10 is the last cent you make from me you snakes in the grass.

    So I used to have AT&T and I saw the ad about $100 unlimited everything at T-Mobile. I fell for it. Of course, the lady, ** to be more exact, offered us the phones and lines and that everything would add up to no more than $160 for 2 lines and phones per month. First month bill was good, it came up to $154, but when the 2nd bill came it went up to $212!! I called T-Mobile to see why bill was so high if the sales associate at T-Mobile imperial valley had said we were not going to pay more than $160, representative only apologized and said my only option was to go back down to 1gb per month and to cancel extra services.

    So basically, T-Mobile ripped us off! Supposedly they didn't charge taxes nor other stuff in first bill, just to get us hooked, but now that I want to cancel I would still need to pay remaining balance. On top of all, I'm supposed to get a company discount through ADP, and phone representative said that discounts don't apply anymore with them when at the store they had said they would deduct from bill.

    I was with T-Mobile for a few years and had ok service. About 6 months after moving into my new home, in the same town, I experienced almost constant dropped calls, missed calls, etc. I had to get a land line from Comcast to make up for T-Mobile's terrible service. Being self-employed and working from my home, I am sure I lost many customers because they could not reach me. My family and friends would try calling me for important reasons and could not get me if I was not home.

    The phone service might have worked about 20% of the time. If I needed to make a call, it would not go through 80% of the time. I called on several occasions and report this to T-Mobile. They said they would do a network check and call me back. I repeated this procedure many times with the same answer. Everything is working in our network.

    Although, my neighbor experienced the same thing at the same time from T-Mobile as well, so we knew it was their service. They even told me to get a new phone, as they told my neighbor, also at our expense and that did not work. So, finally after 6+ months of this nightmare, I decided to quit T-Mobile and go to another provider. I paid my phone off but owed the last month. I felt that they owed me more than I owed them, so I asked them to write off the $88 as a good faith gesture. They refused.

    They said that they had given me $150 in credits over the 6 month period and that was good enough. It didn't matter that I lost many customers, had no service most of the time, and spent many HOURS on the phone with them and Apple trying to figure out why this was happening! I would have just dropped it if they would have dropped the last charge.

    They have been harassing me, calling my phone with automated messages that I owe this little bit of $. I really wish I would have logged every time I missed a call or called them for assistance. I would be at the Attorney's door suing them for damages! There is nothing more upsetting than trying to make a call and it not working or having someone who needed desperately to get ahold of you and would not go through. They do not even have a store in my town! I would have to travel many miles to get to one and that is what they wanted me to do so they could check out my phone.

    I knew it wasn't the phone and that was proved after purchasing another one. I had insurance and they did not cover a new phone for me. It is all about them, not the Customer! Not good! Very upset that I have had to go through this and function as a small business. I am not paying the bill and they can put me in collections. Can't let these companies get away with no service and expecting any pay! They made out in this relationship and I was the loser! DONE! Good riddance, T-Mobile!

    We have to argue with T-Mobile's people every single time we pay our bill because they try to sneak in extra charges or remove services from our plan when we aren't looking. To be fair, I am usually able to make them respond appropriately. Their phones don't last long, and I think they set the devices to self destruct these days. I had to turn my phone off and on three times to get this internet connection, there are unreasonable errors all over the place and we often never receive phone calls that proceed to leave voicemails, which is the only reason we know anyone called at all. Whenever I run out of hotspot minutes, I lose the internet on my phone. It is not supposed to do this, as I am told every single time I have to call in to have service restored, and they have no idea what happened. They also try to charge us for out of area coverage without notice when we drive a half hour away from home.

    T-Mobile is a crappy company that sells a worthless product for outrageous amounts. People have no choice but to select from mega-corporations that have crushed all decent competition with bureaucracy and money. I tried to have a land line installed several years ago and found that these companies have bought out those companies and now sell the service for more than their trashy cell phones. Absolute crap.

Just kept getting handed off to people, told to email a certain place on the site which I did a couple times and still no response after 3 months; which then I decided to cancel my account as well; which yet again "Pay as you go" should be able to just not pay.

    But I called and said I wanted to cancel cause their customer service sucked. Said I had to wait until the next month's bill then it could be cancelled. They charged me for a whole new month just to cancel which I didn't pay luckily. But they sent me a bill in the mail that I will never pay. They can go ** themselves!!

    I called customer service to switch accounts, which resulted in T-Mobile instead taking my wife's number (on a separate account), canceling it, and transferring her name and voicemail onto my phone. I spent two hours trying to figure this out on the phone with T-Mobile before the company realized what it did. When trying to switch from a pre-paid account to a post-paid account online, you are not allowed to make such switch if you do not have enough funds on your current plan.

    You are forced to add the sufficient amount for the new plan in order to make the switch; however, even after doing so, the online system does not reflect that you have switched plans. The kicker is when calling customer service, you are told that if you make the switch from a pre-paid to a post-paid account, you automatically lose all funds on the former. This is fraud, whether intentional or not. The technicians are very helpful and speak plain, clear English. The latter cannot be said for the rest of the customer service department: your calls are outsourced either to people requiring lots of accent-reduction courses or to people requiring enunciation courses. Sadly, this type of problem is seen all too often.

If there's a new iPhone coming we can come back and upgrade for free. My daughter loves her new phone. Last week it was starting to have few glitches so I called our local T-mobile in bountiful Utah to verify if the deal was still true. The guy that I spoke to said yes, we can get a free upgrade but we would only have to pay the sales tax and it's around $45 to $50. I was so excited so we head over there. I went directly to the manager there by the name of ** who send us to another sales rep. A girl name **. She looks fairly young with piercing in her front teeth and two on her nose etc. We told her what we were there for, that we're coming for the free upgrade we were promised. She quickly showed us the new phones and of course my daughter picked the iPhone 6.

    As she was looking up our acct she confirmed that yes she qualifies for a free upgrade because I have "jump" on our phones but only pay the taxes on it. We couldn't be happier. After 40 mins of her on the computer she said that my daughter has to give up her iPhone 5. My daughter hesitated cause we weren't told that and she had important pics, notes, video. She said we can upload it there to I cloud. Then she made my daughter sign into icloud. She then said to us, how much down payment we want. I was a little confused. I quickly said, "is this going to cost me $700 cause if that's the case then I don't want it." She said "oh no you only have to pay the tax," so I said "we'll pay for it then." She had difficulty uploading. At that time she made me sign something that I thought it was for the free upgrade not understanding that she made me sign to sell my daughters iPhone 5 to them.

    After I click on accept she said that she she's having difficulty uploading so I quickly said "can we stop this and we'll come back tomorrow cause my daughter really needs these notes." She went over to ** the manager who said no its too late cause I already accepted... she came back to tell us that we can't stop and we have to give them my daughter's phone. She went ahead printed receipt and showed us the agreement and said $27 a month added to our acct and that's when it hit me that we just signed to pay for a whole new phone. I stopped her and asked. I thought this is a free upgrade. She said, "yes but it's not a free phone." I was devastated. I've never been so sick to my stomach than as that moment. I felt tears coming.

    Supervisor came and said it's too late we already sign... we were there for 2 hrs. I begged and plead but he kept saying too late. I asked for any higher authority but he again said, he's never seen this type a thing win not matter who we talk to.

However, the T-mobile coverage map indicates that I should have full 4G coverage in that exact location. I have found one or two spots where I have one bar of signal and 3G coverage. Because these children are so young, it is imperative that I have full signal in the event that one of them get hurt. T-mobile keeps trying to get me to upgrade my phone to resolve the issue, but that is not the issue; their service is the issue. The grandmother of the kids has T-mobile and the latest iPhone and she also has NO signal at the house.

    Their coverage map blatantly lies and T-mobile just wants to sell phones, but those phones are just expensive pieces of technology when there is no signal. Sure, T-mobile is somewhat cheaper than the competition. But I had Cricket for years and they were not only cheaper, but had better coverage. During my next phone upgrade, I will surely be switching to another carrier. It seems T-mobile puts their (wait, MY) money into marketing and making commercials that promote false claims.

    I wanted to change carries from AT&T to T-Mobile. I was, believe it or not, unhappy with AT&T, and was looking forward to changing to T-Mobile. I ordered two iPhone 6, and a sim card for an older iPhone. T-Mobile was going to pay off my remaining payments to AT&T for my current phones and they were advertising a much better plan than AT&T.

    Yesterday, I received both phones and the sim card in an envelope (not a box) and proceeded to call T-Mobile to set up my phone and the sim card phone. My husband is away for a few days and still needs his old phone until he gets back. To make a very long story short, I was on the phone with T-Mobile for over 3 hours. I spoke with 16 people, yes, 16. I was cut off three times with no call back. The connections had a slight delay, so, it was very difficult to communicate (I thought this was a phone company), not to mention that every person I spoke with had a foreign accent, which didn't help the situation at all.

    During the three hours of phone conversations, they activated not my phone, but, my husband's, which then had to be deactivated before AT&T could shut it off. Then, my phone was "activated". The new phone would not get service. So, I spoke with, I think 3 tech support people, one of whom actually said to me, "this is not a T-Mobile phone, where did you get it?". "Um You sent it to me, where did YOU get it?". Then I spoke with more tech people and customer care agents because while he was arranging to send me new phones (and charge my credit card for those phones) surprise surprise, we were disconnected.

    At the end of the three hours, I finally gave up and said cancel my service. I'm calling AT&T to see if I can get my old number hooked back up with them. T-Mobile said "Fine, send us the phones back and we'll get you a refund". I asked how he wanted me to send the phones back, since I had already ripped open the envelope they came in. He was "shocked" that they had come in an envelope. "They're supposed to come in a box". Really? They're also supposed to work.

    So, I've called my no longer arch nemesis, AT&T, and they are being kind enough to get my number back in 5 days! Yes, folks 5. So, me being a pilot who is on call and must be phone available to get to the airport to fly 180 people wherever with about three hours notice, must now sit at home all day to be sure that I can get any calls from our company schedulers for 5 days. I can't even take my daughter to school without advising my company that I will be away from the phone for a half hour and to please not give me a missed trip and dock my pay. Thank you T-Mobile.

The rep said I had service after she asked for my address to check. Had no Internet service at all. Called ** at the tech part. He said if we lived 10 miles either way we would have coverage but where we live in the country, we had none! So I told him I was canceling all before the 14 day cancellation period. I spent $183.76 to get the phones and returned them like I said before ethereal 14 day period was over. Then I received an email saying my payment was received and they charged me exactly 103.76. I've called and got the runaround.

    Why should I pay for service I didn't receive. All I want is my money back but looks like they deducted a bunch of fees and has it down to 68.21. I want my money back and t-mobile is not refunding anything. It looks as though the rest of the 80.00 is going towards next month's fees . Also, strangely enough I received two letters saying I was denied service due to my credit afterwards. Yet I have receipts saying otherwise. Worst people in the world to lie so they can get customers only to lose them later. I went to verizon, pricey but worth it. I have service in fact I'm typing on here from my new cell on here.

    All is t-mobile are liars and thieves. And I'm on disability so for me to spend that kind of money for my son and I is almost like taking away half my check and stealing it from my son and I. They shouldn't be in business if they are going to rip off anyone, disability or not. Main reason I wanted it was bc it would have saved me money and when I am ill I can reach someone especially my son and also so he can keep in touch with all his friends. Now I'm paying twice as much for good service. I guess it's true you pay for what you get, but like I said I just want my money back. But if they are going to steal off Mr I will have no issue in taking legal action and I have every receipt that I got by email through them.

    I have been with T-Mobile for about a year, and that's a year and a half too long. Carefully I researched the reviews and coverage maps, questioned the local T-Mobile stores and reps, and was assured to have great coverage and fast speeds!!! It's fast, but coverage is inconsistent, and weak "at best" non-existent frequently, and that's at home in the center of the city!!! I was mislead by advertised and publicly claimed coverage, as well as falsely reassured by local T-Mobile store reps that I would have full "fabulous" coverage throughout the state!!! Bold face lies, and they knew it!!!

    I encountered an unauthorized access to my account by one of T-Mobile's in-store reps. This guy initiated changes to my account through a breach of security protocol. He (known as **) asked the person requesting this change for the account's primary phone number only. The change was to activate a new phone. The person he asked was not me (the account owner). See the serious problem here? I spoke with another T-Mobile rep about this and to confirm the proper procedure. He immediately agreed that this was a breach of security protocol and followed immediately by reporting the incident to his supervisor. He claimed T-Mobile is big on account security and this transaction was enacted illegally and should never have happened. I still retain their service (for now) but the very next violation of my account privacy will not be taken lightly.

    I tried to come to t-mobile in feb-2015. I was bringing over 4 phones. When they sent my sim card it required that we call and activate the phones. One of the sims cards they sent was the wrong one. So they told me I had to return it. Which they put that credit back on my card and then recharged me for the correct one which means I still paid for 4. I then went on to try to activate the phones with the cards. Then the man stated after being on the phone for 2 hours, you can't use these phones. He then said we will refund you for the charges for the cards and go ahead and cancel the account. I paid 100 for 4 phone deposits and 11.99 for overnight, which they credit me that back because it didn't come overnight.

    So after not receiving my refund in march. I called and called and called. Then they sent me a bill for charges of 26.98. When I never had service with them. Then I received a prepaid credit card for 73.02 which made me furious. So I called and called and called. And people kept saying they fixed it and I would get it. It is now May tomorrow and I have yet to get my money from the deposit or the sim cards. I literally hate t-mobile and hate the way they go about speaking to people when they don't have service but when you trying to get service they are so nice.

    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.

    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.

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.

    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.

    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.

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.

    When I opened an account with T-Mobile my husband was transferred over to my account. Well in the transformation process they never took my husband's information from his phone. We have been paying bills on a monthly basis. Never once did they say that my husband's phone wasn't on my bill. They shut my husband's phone off completely without notification. And sent my husband's remaining balance to collections and I would like this resolved and they won't resolve it for me.

    They keep on increasing the phone bill without informing the consumers. We receive quite a few texts advertising buying/upgrading phones & services; filing out surveys etc. But when it comes to jacking up the phone bills, T-Mobile will not send a text informing customers about it.

    First they claim they will pay your early termination fee - Total lies. I sent a rebate forms twice, nothing was received. I called them 10 times and no one seems to have anything logical to tell me. Secondly, they asked for the first month bill so I wouldn't owe them whenever I cancel my service which I paid, then when I finally cancelled my service even before the end of the billing cycle, they still charged me 101.75 for the month that I cancelled. I called customer service and to my surprise, they have no explanation except going back and forth complicating issues. No one should buy their BS.

    I've been a customer with T-Mobile for 10 years, after having a phone that didn't perform up to standard I received 4 replacement/refurbished phones. Each of which had different issues. When I contacted T-Mobile about the issue, all that was offered to me was another refurbished S4 or trade in my phone that I owed $60 on and start a whole new balance with a new phone. In my opinion this is beyond ridiculous! 10 years and that's the best offer on the table. Needless to say I opted for a refurbished Galaxy S4 so I can pay the $60 I owe and switch carriers.

    I bought 2 iPhones just Last month, almost 2k. A month later the mic on one of them isn't working. I went to the store. The manager named ** takes a look at it and said, "The water indicator was missing and I can SEE it was removed, and We didn't give it to You like that. 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!?

    To make long story short, I went to the Apple Store in the Fashion Square Mall in Sherman Oaks. When I told them what the manager had told Me, they LAUGHED. They told Me, "First of all, the water indicator is NOT visible on the iPhone 6. And second of all, if one falls out it's ok because it has like 7 other water indicators. 3rd of all, water indicator has nothing to do with the mic not working. 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. Not only that but she Told me the ONLY thing that could be done was for ME to PAY an extra $175 without even going through other options. She said Apple was WRONG! Yup, she thinks she knows it all and swears she knows more than Apple about iPhones. She gave me an attitude.

    I called T-Mobile 1800 number. The representative suggested Me to ask her for the districts manager's number. And when I did she yelled at Me to get out and that She was calling the Police. I told Her, "Go ahead. I'm not touching You. I'm not cussing. You and I have a T-Mobile representative on the phone and my call is being recorded. You want to call the police because I'm asking You for a number?" She smiled liked making fun of Me and said, "I'm not gonna give it to You." I don't understand how they can put a person like Her as a manager when She's a complete ignorant, has no idea of what she's talking about, has absolute NO knowledge of the products She is selling, just wants to take your money instead of looking for other options, and far from solving Your problems she creates more problems and definitely doesn't know how to treat customers.

    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.

    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.

And he starts in with the same line of lies and tells me I can do what I want to do about 15 times.

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.

    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.

The employees at the T-Mobile store are full of hollow gestures. Can they switch my current phone number to the new T-Mobile phone I just bought? Sure they can!!! Never happened. I had to drive 10 miles back to the store to find an employee who could actually make this happen. Can they switch our four T-Mobile lines to three? Sure they can!!! Never happened. I got billed for four lines. I had to call customer service. I was told my next bill will be for three lines and include a price adjustment. Sure it will!!!

    I had T-Mobile for about 3 months. The coverage is abysmal. According to their map, my home is in Excellent 4G LTE coverage. On most days I had 1-2 bars, sometimes no service at all. They said they sent techs and that the towers are working correctly so the issue must be the brand new iPhone 6+ that I got from them. I went to Apple to restore as they suggested. All this did was make me reload apps. Same problems. Driving from Houston to Austin was a nightmare too. I would lose service for just about half of the drive. Customer Service was friendly but full of empty promises. I dropped them like a bad habit.

    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. And the fact that a payment can get paid by a bank and they cannot properly credit the customer's account? How basic is that?

    We were with T-Mobile for many years. We had to work in North Dakota on a temporary job for 2 years and dealt with unacceptable service the whole time we were there. We called T-Mobile often to see what we could do, and were told that they were getting towers in the area due to the booming economy up there. They also told us that if we got the iPhone, it would do much better than our Blackberrys. It did NOT help the situation, just cost us more money. 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.

    Not to go into too many details about the way that T-Mobile mistreated us, due to the many missed business opportunities, we finally changed carriers. We were willing to go back to T-Mobile when we go back to our home base, but after the way we were treated at the end, I will tell everyone NOT to waste your time with T-Mobile. We were LOYAL customers and were treated in an unacceptable manner.

    My phone was stolen, so I report it to T-Mobile to get my replacement phone, the most difficult situation to be in with this company. 1st I was told to fill out the claim form and send it in and that it would take 1 to 2 days to receive. Then they tell me, the next day, I did something wrong on the form. So I redo the form. I send it back, faxed it twice and emailed it twice, the same day.

    Now we are on day 3 and I called and ask to see when they are shipping me my phone. Nowhere. They got my claim under 2 different numbers and my zip code wrong, which mean they got my address wrong and I changed it about 6 months ago. The messed up part about the whole situation is that they keep telling you they are sorry and that they do understand my frustration, but in reality they don't care about you. It took 6 days before I got my phone, I missed out on interviews and everything because of them.

    What is the point of paying for insurance and you got to go through all the bull and days to get your phone, but if you're late on your payment, it don't take them 6 days to cut you off.

    As a T-Mobile customer I never expected that a business like T-Mobile will steal from a customer. I purchased a Samsung Galaxy from T-Mobile paying full prize upfront for the phone. Now my phone came damaged. For several of months I struggled with this damaged phone. The phone will just turn off on full percent battery and freeze. Now at the T-Mobile store located at Lincolnwood shopping center they placed me an order to ship my phone through UPS then I will receive a new phone and so they emailed me the instructions (which I still have) and followed them carefully.

    I send my phone but only received the shell of the phone meaning no battery no back piece. Now I was NEVER informed not to ever send the battery or back part. Common sense for a customer to send the phone full right? Now T-Mobile is saying they will not be responsible for anything. I paid full price for my phone and I shipped it I have all the email confirmations from T-Mobile that state they received my phone but now they send me an incomplete phone and in order paper the T-Mobile store gave me it never states nor was I informed not to send the back part of the phone nor battery.

    T-mobile tells you that they will pay for the contract termination fee when you decide to switch over from another cell phone carrier. Well I switched from Sprint to T-mobile and received the termination fee which was $200 plus $42 in taxes for the termination. 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 had told them to put myself on as an authorized user which they did not, I also told them not to add the equipment protection plan which they did.

    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.

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.

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.

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 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.

    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.

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.

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.

When I called and complained many occasions, they kept sending me to different people and cannot explained what happened and demanded that I need to pay my bill which I believed about $145.00. T-Mobile reported my account to collection agencies. The bad thing about this, my credit score were very much affected and destroyed my financial credibility. I want to resolve this issue especially my credit history.

    I have unlimited everything for two lines for 100 a month on 4G LTE network and have had zero complaints. Many of these reviews are petty - one person gave one star because she had to pay 15 dollars for a sim card lol. Coming from Verizon where I paid 100 dollars for ten gb and 40 dollars per line fee for three smart phone (220 a month) not including surcharges and fees, T-Mobile is the best. My 4G LTE has never dropped - it's super fast. Way faster than Verizon actually. Never had a dropped call or missed or delayed text. I get to listen to unlimited music while I'm driving etc. And this is just my perks. There are many others. When you compare T-Mobile to other cellular services how can they not be the best. To complain about a sim card price, OK well Verizon doesn't charge a sim card price lol go to them. I bet you'll be running back after the first bill coughing up that 15 dollars.

    T-Mobile is sweet as long as you stay with them. Service is not that bad just not good enough coverage area, but when I tried to switch to AT&T, so much trouble, they said there is no contracts but you cannot leave if you haven't paid in full all phone devices. I paid In full then I needed to unlock my phone and I call T-Mobile for that and I was told it could take from 48 hrs to 14 days. I wait 4 days but one of my 4 devices unlock code was wrong because a T-Mobile representative mistakably put a wrong IMEI number then I call back and I was told they had it fixed and just to wait for another period time 48 hrs to days. I call 7 days later to check up and I was told my account is not eligible because I had the last phone service period unpaid, after you pay call back.

    If I would known I would had it paid. Now I have to pay and call back to let them know is paid and request for an unlock code. What's the problem T-Mobile? In fact this was a second chance because I was a returning customer, but after this I WILL NEVER GO BACK with t-mobile again... what a waste of time.

    For 3 years, I've had T- mobile phone service, (contractually). At the origin of this service, I indicated that my no.1 priority was to have contact with my 2 parents, (they are 89 and 90 yrs of age, and they take care of my 50 year old brother, who has down syndrome). 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." At no point was this very important detail explained to me.

When confronted they would say that we wouldn't get charged that again. Sure enough next month it was on there again. We had the international plan. 10 a month for international calls- Lies Lies Lies. This is the biggest crock of crap ever. We were get charged by the minute. When I asked them about it they said we were calling a cell phone. When I told them we were calling a landline they refused to change the bill. This is my top complaint.

    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.

    On March 3, 2015 I paid for activation online with T-Mobile for a prepaid monthly service that included unlimited text and phone calls. 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.

    I got online again, verified that my payment had been processed and went back to T-Mobile online. I spent a long time trying to explain my situation to a T-Mobile rep **, who after my request for a supervisor, upon realizing he would not be able to help me, informed me he did not have a supervisor available and that I should CALL customer service. 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.

    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.

    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 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 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.

    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.

    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.
