    Purchased Samsung Galaxy Note 5 64gb. Starting experiencing issues with the device so I get the warranty phone sent to me. Well after about 10 exchanges the last 2 devices they send me a 32gb after I verified with the foreigner that it's a 64gb device. Well now I'm having issues with the device and they are telling me that my original purchase was a 32 gb device so why does my eip clearly say 64gb gold platinum device? Now I'm back and forth with these people because I'll be damned if I'm paying for a 64gb device for a 32 gb device. Seems like someone owes me money and a new phone. The thing is they don't make the 64gb note 5 any longer and they are tricking those into getting these warranty devices with lower storage.

    Been with T-Mobile for 8+ years and it has been my experience that they use deceptive, unethical, immoral and I believe illegal practices and tactics. I cancelled my line for a year traveling abroad and came back as a new customer due to the previous pleasant experience that I had. Given that I do not have any phones under contract I was carrier hopping to see the various plans that were presented to me. When I came to T-Mobile they introduced me to a plan that they had said "unlimited roaming services" in North America.

    Mistakenly thinking it was a good deal, I got the plan and had a horrible experience. My monthly bill always fluctuated due to their lack of experience, and I had to call in every month to adjust the bill and fix the problem. Now they inform me that they are going to cancel one of my lines and still telling me to pay the same price! Wow. Obnoxious customer service; treating me like their ATM machine! Definitely switching to another carrier.

    T-Mobile just sucks. I've been a loyal customer for over 20 years. In fact, I was with them way back when they were Voice Stream and I believe they were PCS-1. Anyway lately their billing practices are very questionable. I always have a 200 some dollar bill now and one time they will say, "Oh that's way too much," and another times they will say I owe more. I always keep my payment arrangements but this one time I couldn't do it and their turning the phone off at midnight really pisses me off. Half the time I can't even understand customer service and I don't think they understand me. As soon as my bill is paid I'm going to another carrier. They don't even seem to care if they lose a customer.

    T-Mobile is frustrating for several reasons. The coverage in the US is spotty. Outside US you get only 2g speeds, very slow. Their website glitches and requires you to sign in multiple times. You can't easily view your detailed bill - it is like a hidden treasure they don't want you to see. It glitches all the time trying to download a pdf of your bill, and often it is not even possible.

    Customer service is very polite and friendly, but they sometimes miss the calls (outside US) you inquired about getting credit for, and then you end up calling them again and again. Finally, when crossing countries in Europe, their technical side lags behind and their towers do not recognize that you have crossed the border. As the result you are charged $3 per minute vs 20 cents, and have to constantly call the customer service to get this reversed. Glitches and glitches, why can't someone just fix their tech side? Also, good luck getting help from local T-Mobile stores when traveling, esp. abroad - they carry its name, but they have no idea how to fix your network or other problems.

    I purchased my iPhone at the New Hartford, NY store from Mitch the manager. It went and Mitch seemed to be very knowledgeable and caring about the customers. Then I started using my phones. My phone coverage was not that great. When I got the phones he informed me and showed me on his computer the service coverage was very good in NYS and the Mohawk Valley. However, I found out there were some spots in Ilion where the phone doesn't pick up and also I get disconnected at times when driving in areas near the Thruway. For example, driving on Rte 5S I lose service from Utica to Frankfort sometimes. It's great on the Thruway but you would think coverage would be much better even near it. Very disappointed by the sellers and T-Mobile service on what they express when it comes to coverage. I had Verizon and they had MUCH BETTER coverage.

    Then the store manager said we would get two free tablets for purchasing their services and the iPhones. This sounded great but it was another lie. The tablets cost $25.00 each I found out. Then they informed me I had to sign an agreement given to me from T-Mobile to my email saying I would be getting the tablets. However, when you go to sign the agreement it states you will owe them $288.00. Therefore, I never signed the agreement. Since I will not sign the agreement they will not give me my tablets. The manager tried to tell me that the tablet would not cost me $288 because on my monthly bill the charge would be canceled out. This doesn't make sense. If T-Mobile wants to give out free stuff then give it out rather than lie about it. What a scam! I do not recommend T-Mobile. They may be a little cheaper than Verizon but if you want to put up with poor services and lies then be my guest.

    Let me start off by saying I have been a loyal and happy customer of T-Mobile’s for about 8 years until today. Recently my fiancé purchased the iPhone 8 and returned his old iPhone. I received a text stating that we would be getting a credit on our bill. For the next two billing cycles I received bills stating not to pay due to the credit. Today I get a text that I owe $885.50 by January 11. Imagine my surprise. So I call to ask how in the world my $230 monthly bill is $885.50. The representative proceeds to tell me that T-Mobile made a mistake with my credit and is now TAKING IT BACK. Therefore I owe them the money. It took them two entire months to realize their mistake. I prepared to tell the representative that I was NEVER informed that there was anything wrong with my account and I have proof of text messages and paper bills stating that I did not have to pay.

    The representative says because T-Mobile made a mistake I will now have to pay $885.50 over the course of 9 months. This would be an extra $98 a month added onto my $230 bill monthly. I continued to protest that I should not have to pay for their mistake. I have paid my bill on time for 8 years. Never had service suspended due to late payment. But because of their mistake I am being punished two months after the fact. I now have to bring a majority of my daughter's Christmas presents back to the store so that I can afford to pay this bill on top of my student loan, rent, car, food, and many other bills. T-Mobile screwed me over and has made me feel like the worst mother of the year. Never will I do business with them again after the humiliation I feel.

    I am in year 2 of dealing with T-Mobile, after a NIGHTMARE occurred with BOOST MOBILE. I am at my wit's end! These people are VAMPIRES! My bill is due for payment on the 22nd of each month, has been from the beginning. Well, on the 5th of each month, I begin receiving text messages saying how "Your T-Mobile bill is now ready." OK...THEN, after about a year's service, I start getting bills that I don't understand. Each month, my bill began INCREASING by $20, FOR NO GOOD DAMN REASON! I called CS, after the 3rd month of this B'S. NO ONE could explain to me why there was an increase! I became so irate, that the CS rep I was speaking to, assured me that my bill would reflect a "CAP" and would no longer have charges above and beyond the $147 +change that I was normally paying... OK... So why did I incur these mystery charges in the first place? Still a mystery!

    Next problem: my husband and I both opted for the SAMSUNG On5. The sales associate in the store assured me that this phone would be compatible with my SAMSUNG GALAXY WATCH...NOPE! The kicker? The damn thing works just fine with my Hubby's OLD SAMSUNG GALAXY 4, but I was now on the hook for 2 On 5's which do REALLY weird things and are 5MB away from having FULL MEMORY, which they cannot help me to clear out! The piece de resistance is the last time I spoke to a CS rep., I was informed that the damn ** phones won't be paid of for 9 MORE ** MONTHS! I don't think I'll make 9 MORE months, TBH!

    So, I call to defer a payment, the automated system chooses Nov 12th for a small amount, Nov 13, for the remainder. I call on November 8th to pay it off, the system, tried to charge me $296!!! My deferred bill + late fee AND THE NEXT BILL, NOT EVEN DUE UNTIL NOVEMBER 22! To top it off, I had speak to a live advisor, because the automated system wouldn't adjust the charges AND THEY CHARGED ME $6 EXTRA BUCKS to communicate with a HUMAN BEING, which is the one capable of changing the INCORRECT charges!

    I don't expect perfection in all areas of business. There will be issues! But, how do you openly harass customers over bills that aren't even due, FOR THREE WEEKS! Then, have enough nerve to send sales alerts about new models that I can't even trade this piece of crap in for?! Mystery charges, salespeople with minuscule product knowledge, harassment for payment that's NOT due, and MORE charges, to make sure the automated system leaves enough $$ in our account for us to survive! I AM SO DONE WITH T-Mobile! They SUCK! I wish I could give them negative stars!!!

    T-Mobile sucks to the max, been dealing with them for over a week to get a new phone. Was told in store to go through Assurant. Then took forever days to get ahold of Assurant whom then told me T-mobile should of replaced phone in store because of extended warranty (they didn't). So recalled T-mobile finally got told exchange phone would be sent, it would be here today by 2 pm. And it's not even here yet, Still on a plane.

    Really bad customer service. If I knew all this I would of just dropped T-mobile and went to MetroPCS. At least I would of had a phone by now. T-MOBILE IS HORRIBLE, they also could of easily sent me to any store to get an exchange phone but didn't. They don't care about the customer AT ALL. It's appalling and shameful that they did this. Looks like now I'll be over 2 weeks without a working phone because of crappy unprofessional T-mobile.

    It has been my experience with T-Mobile that they use deceptive, unethical, immoral and I believe illegal practices and tactics to acquire new customers. In January of 2017 I was promised that if I switched 4 mobile lines then T-Mobile would pay the early termination fees to my previous carriers for switching PLUS I would receive $150 per line to join the 4 lines for $180 per month plan. I believed them. I switched. They gave me $600 for the 4 lines, BUT did not pay the early termination fee to my previous carrier. This resulted in my account being sent to collection and my credit was negatively impacted! I contacted T-Mobile and after speaking with multiple people, including a male supervisor by the name of Renee, I was told they could not combine the two and I would have to cancel if I were unhappy because they would to honor what was promised.

    I switched from Verizon to T-Mobile with the Switch program. I was told all my phones would be able to switch over. I brought over my Samsung Galaxy 7 and T-Mobile paid off the remaining balance on my phone. Great! Once I put in my T-Mobile sim and started my phone up connecting to T-Mobile I had all my features except the ability to receive or send media text messages. After hours on the phone with T-Mobile, Samsung and Verizon I was told that I would have to purchase a new phone from T-Mobile if I wanted to start receiving media messages. What??? I was told my phone would switch over with no problems!

    I asked the T-Mobile Tech Specialist if they could issue me a new T-Mobile phone without paying for it and I give them my current phone? No that wasn't an option. I was told if I want to be able to use all my features on my phone I would have to buy a new one or switch to a different provider. This wasn't what the program portrayed to the consumer. I'm very upset and feel betrayed by T-Mobile.

However, we still took the deal. Secondly - We have now been on two vacations to the Gulf coast areas of FL (2 different ones). In both areas we experienced trouble.

    I have had the worst experience with T-Mobile phones. The first phone I received I could not talk or hear anyone and it dropped calls after 1 minute conversations. I went into the store and was given another new phone. The second phone was worse than the first phone. A phone was ordered by the rep in the store and had the wrong IEM number so that delayed my phone another 3 days. They want to replace my phone with a refurbished phone.

    I feel I should be given a new phone because it is not my fault it is past the 14 days. The reps keep saying I have buyers remorse. I do not have buyers remorse. I just want a new phone. If you go into a store and purchase something new you don't want to leave or find out it is used. I have been with T-Mobile 11 years and will cancel this service and will get a refund for the phone. I have never been so disgusted with a company. I will be talking to the President of this company before this is over. I am a pissed off Samsung J-7 Prime User.

    So I contacted T-Mobile about three days ago about upgrading my phone to the iPhone X.

The representative told me to save the processing fee and shipping fees to go ahead to their local T-Mobile store. So I went over there and was embarrassed because of course they ask for A $600 down payment. So I left the store and contacted T-Mobile again and spoke to another representative that stated that she will speak to her supervisor give me a call back in 48 hours so they can grant me the zero down payment that the first representative told me about. Representative Stated that she did see the comment where the young man that I spoke to stated that it was a zero down payment.

    I never got the call back in 48 hours from a supervisor or the girl I spoke to so I gave Them a call again. When I spoke to T-Mobile I spoke to another representative that stated she did not see any comments on where the young man told me that it was a zero down payment.

Then sell the charges to another company and thus far I have had to dispute (successfully T-Mobile charges on my credit report # times).

    Now I am married and my husband had T-Mobile and I always told him, "Watch out when you cancel. They will continue to bill". Well now the same thing is happening to him.

After a couple days I noticed the phone was acting erratic and apps would open on their own and the unit would start calling people in my recent call list and would not allow me to control the screen or the apps including writing text on its own - gibberish, of course. I called T-Mobile and complained. It was a random problem that would happen and then stop. Seems something is wrong with the screen but I could not seem to get the issue across to the rep. I decided to go into the store. I arrived with phone in hand and met with a young man who looked at the phone updated the software and it seemed fine. I explained the situation and we waited around for it to start acting up. It never did, so I left and said I would be back.

    The phone once again started to act up in the middle of the night... calling people at random on my recent list - embarrassing. It still does this and I have to shut it off to keep it from taking over. To make a long story short, I have not been able to take it to the store to show them the problem and they never said they would do anything until they could see the issue. Long after the 90 days warranty, I have decided to switch to Sprint who sent me a new iPhone X for a new line and package and tried to give T-Mobile one last chance to make this right and last night they pretty much told me I am stuck with this phone. Sprint is going to pay off the $475 for the piece of junk. But I am really unhappy about how they dealt with me. They should have had someone who could speak English first of all. The reps on the phone had no clue what I was trying to explain.

    Second, they should have just sent a replacement phone without making me prove the issue. Third, they could have, on this last attempt, simply given me the same deal as Sprint, but they treat new customers like Gold but their existing ones like crap when an example like this surfaces. Does not make any sense to me at all. I am closing my account next week and while I like the basic costs and so forth, their customer service is terrible and they do not stand behind the products they peddle. There is no reason I should be stuck with a phone that calls people at all hours of the day and night and not give a damn about it or my issue.

    I signed up for their program where they buy you out of your contract. I closed my account with AT&T in Feb 2016, mailed in my two iPhone 6s Plus to T-Mobile along with my final bill. I paid off AT&T. T-Mobile told me months later that they lost my phones. I have contacted them every two weeks looking for my rebates. They tell me every time that they will be in contact in 2 days with a resolution. They never call back. Here it is now December and they are telling me that because it's been so long, my rebate is no longer valid, even though they acknowledge it's their fault. So, I have no phones and no rebate, yet I PAID OFF THE PHONES. T-Mobile steals phones and does not care about their customers. If anyone can offer legal help concerning this, please help.

    Clearly, the absolute worst mobile carrier when it comes to their Billing Method and Customer Service. T-mobile likes to play games with their "billing due date" process, which is noticeable when a customer enters their on-line site to pay an amount past due. T-Mobile will identify a "past due" amount, which may be accurate but suggests a customer can simply pay that past due amount. However, when the customer attempts to pay that amount on-line, by using a Debit or Credit Card, an entirely different amount is billed to the customer. Such as, TWICE what was identified in the past due amount.

    The T-Mobile scam is to PREVENT the customer from paying a past-due amount, and bill the customer that precise amount PLUS another billing which would have occurred in the future month. When the customer notices that scam, by looking on-line and clearly seeing what T-Mobile has done, it makes no difference to place a call to T-Mobile. When the customer complains, T-Mobile simply says they will take care of it -- BUT they don't take care of it.

    In fact, when I personally visited my Bank and complained about the T-Mobile (suspected fraudulent billing practice and their incorrect billing), my own Bank official contacted T-Mobile but was met with an exasperating conversation with a T-Mobile representative who abruptly "hung up" on my Banking official. The solution: My Banking official simply disputes the charge in writing, contacts T-Mobile, (receives no response), and then my Bank puts the improperly-charged funds back into my Bank Account. A hassle, of course, but effective.

    Just avoid T-Mobile. T-Mobile is well known to have billing schemes and even worse customer service when their scheme is detected. T-Mobile has already received attention by the Federal Consumer Protection Bureau on numerous occasions. It's unfortunate that the Feds have not yet indicted T-Mobile for fraudulent practices, although I'm certain T-Mobile will be indicted soon.

They gave me service that never worked properly and they never made any efforts to repair the service. Plus the customer service would add things onto the account without my authorization and they would remove credits off the account without my consent making false accusations that I made international calls that I never made.

    Also the corporate office make promises that they never keep to give you free cell phone cover and a free phone and credits. All of this crap. Nothing but lies on top of lies. Plus they falsely reported to TransUnion on my credit report falsely accusing me of fraud... If anybody is a fraud it's T-Mobile not the customer. T-Mobile should report itself for being a rip-off company that goes around screwing their consumers. Now T-Mobile wants me to pay $150 that I have no intentions of paying cuz I never agreed to all this crap to have international calls on my service and all this other nonsense.

Then two months later nothing happened again so we called back and this time we were told they started a special department and would get it taken care of.

    I had a one phone account with T-Mobile for over 15 years. Never had any contact with them, just paid monthly with no changes. Then I wanted to add my spouse's phone to my account. She previously used a prepaid T-Mobile. From my very first call to do this they had a problem because my line plan was no longer offered to add a line to it. So it was my phone only and they couldn't match my rate for my spouse's phone. They came up with a proposal to add the line for a little more than double what my account was. Ie. $32 a month to $70 a month. I agreed and they added the line. My first bill was $89 so I called. They couldn't explain it but assured me the next bill would be the agreed upon price. The next one was $74 so that was close enough. The following bill was back to $89 so another call to them. They couldn't explain that again to they offered a senior plan for $60 and I agreed to that.

    The agent assured me that my next bill would be $60 with no added fees or taxes. Next bill $85. I would go for no more lies. These people lied to me 4 or 5 times. When I called to cancel they couldn't understand and was so sorry to lose me after 15+ years. I switched companies kept the same number and didn't hear anything from T-Mobile. So I called to find out what terms the cancellation would be processed and was told that there would be no proration of the monthly bill but that I would be charged a full month. I believe I had just started a new billing cycle like just a few days before. The phone service was fine as I had it for 15 years but the personal conversations I had with their agents were nothing but lies. I wrote this review along with telling my friends of my experience not because of the dollars I lost with this but solely on the lies they tell in every conversation with no explanation for their lies.

    I recently converted my carrier to T-Mobile and within a 2 days it was apparent that I will need to change my carrier again soon. Before I switched I asked about number portability and asked what if the number is deactivated for a day. I was told it should be okay, I went to their store and I was told the same thing that it shouldn't be a problem since it’s just a day. After getting the new lines, I was told it might take up to 2 hours to get the number ported from previous carrier. After 2 hours I called their customer service and I was told it can take up to 24 hours. Called again after 24 hours was told another 2 hours, called after 2 hours I was told 9AM EST.

    When I called at 9am EST next morning and told them that I am not getting offline till I have my old number. They checked and called my old carrier. Turns out you cannot transfer deactivated number. So I had to pay to reactivate my old number although T-Mobile says they will credit my account with $35 but I think I will have to fight for that. In short the lack of knowledge by T-Mobile customer service representative are amazing, it costed me $35 and 2 days without my number and this is for a new customer.

I have absolutely NO signal anywhere in my workplace, which is a problem, since we use our phones to stay in contact across the plant, and I am basically the only one with such a pathetically unreliable phone.

    My mother and I went to the T-Mobile store to see if they could troubleshoot my phone that was having problems displaying images. Though we realize T-Mobile stores generally do not fix phones, we previously had a good experience in which they managed to fix my mother's phone that had a similar problem. We had a five minute wait for an employee to help us. And when she did, Stephanie (I don't remember her name), the associate manager, barely had a plastered fake smile to present us while she asked what we needed today. As I was trying to explain my phone's issues she continued to interrupt me and had the worst scowl on her face. She kept insisting that there was "nothing they could do" because things like this should be handled through the phone's insurance. Personally I felt that she did not even know about my phone's problems since she considerately interrupted me every five words to shoo us away from the store.

    My mother is not very fluent at English and the associate manager took the opportunity to cut her off as she tried to think of the right words to use, ironically for the purpose of allowing the manager to understand my situation. At that time, there were barely any customers within the store. Additionally, I had gotten some mild support from their twitter support account about soft-resetting my phone - so much for T-Mobile not being able to do "anything", at least someone over the internet could give some suggestions!

    I had enough of her rudeness and just asked to see someone that was willing to help me transfer my sim card over to another phone. The man that helped us was a lot more patient, understanding, and took the time to troubleshoot my broken phone without asking any questions or insulting remarks. The process was efficient and he offered to some phone repair shops around the area that could assist me (even honestly estimating it would ~$200 to fix), but the disrespectful attitude of their associate manager still stings. Her behavior was clearly unnecessary and unprofessional to the point that I would much rather go to another T-Mobile store or switch carriers.

    Just wish prices were a bit lower. Plans are just a bit higher than I'd like & I don't really like needing to pay the initial deposit every time I get a new phone, even with the JUMP! option. Also, deals are always geared towards new customers, I'd love a loyalty reward for being a valued customer.

    The T-Mobile sales/customer service staff have no clue when it comes to canceling an account. They told 5 totally contradictory things on how to go about canceling my account. They did some bait and switches. Told me I could unlock my phone and keep it. That's a lie! They don't unlock your phone even though by law they must! And when they do unlock it- you can only reactivate your phone at T-Mobile or AT&T. That's NOT an unlocked phone! I asked to cancel my transaction when I finally got the real story on my phones lack of future use, they refused. Then once the transaction goes through, they cannot cancel it and credit me back or refund. Thank God I called the fraud department for my credit card and the charge was cancelled.

    This was all done while the phone was under warranty + immediately after purchase from T-Mobile. They claimed because they sent me the defective phone to replace the good phone, but no compatible charger or working battery, they had "fulfilled their obligation to me."

    I feel very disrespected by T-mobile and I will NEVER ever recommend anyone this service. It’s a huge cellphone company, yet they are very inconsiderate and very unprofessional. Long story short, my brother Adam was a T-Mobile customer service rep, and he passed away on July 13. Since August, I have been trying to communicate back and forth with T-Mobile representatives because my brother still has a balance on his phone therefore we can’t sale or get rid of it.

    I was told since the beginning that we didn’t owe anything and the balance was cleared out completely and that we were able to use the phone or sale it. Since they had told me that, I cleared out everything, deleted everything the phone had and reset to brand new. I tried to use the phone and I couldn’t because the balance was still there, for weeks I went back and forth with T-Mobile trying to understand why they lied to me and why the balance wasn’t cleared out. Again, the 4 different representatives told me that the problem was fixed and the balance was cleared and it wasn’t. Now we're in November and today I called again, still remaining calm and respectful and the first representative told me that the balance is now in the hands of a collection agency and he told me that I had to clear it out with them and he gave me the number to call.

    Although, I was frustrated and fed up I agreed and thanked him and hung up just like I did with the other representatives. I called the suppose Collection Agency and it was fake it was the T-Mobile customer service number. So again I got transferred to another representative who connected me with some man not sure if he was a manager but he told me that T-Mobile doesn’t send balances to collections in situations like this. So in that case I’m responsible for my brother’s balance and there is a lock on the phone until I pay it. I am so angry and hurt because the phone isn’t even worth that much money as the balance and if that was the case I could’ve kept my brother's phone with all of his personal stuff in it.

    Now I have a useless iPhone 6s Plus that I have here that hurts to see when all I wanted to do was get some money for my family to cover some of the funeral cost. My brother also had life insurance with T-Mobile but because of the way he passed they didn’t give it to us. This was very inconvenient for me I wish I was told since the beginning the actual truth. This is the way they pay back their own coworkers. My brother was so proud working there and if he was here knowing this happened to someone else I know he wouldn’t look at this company the same. T-Mobile is really about “Integrity”.

    I attempted to become a customer of T-Mobile. I decided to go online after finding out I didn't have to turn my cell phones in. This information was given to me in the two stores I visited. The gentleman online said he often heard this. The employees in the store work on commission and the employees online do not. So I enrolled online with the gentleman acknowledging my Sprint contract didn't end until September, that was ok. I was given three sim cards and the cell phone ordered.

    Meanwhile I received a bill for $140.00. I thought I was being billed for the phone. I called after my bank account was charged and I was going to be sent a refund. I never received the refund, and I never used this account. Now in September I received another bill for $176.00. I called asking for the $140.00 and why I have billed again this time $176.00. I was transferred eight (8) times and spent over two (2) hours on the phone before hanging up.

    The next day I went into the T-Mobile store. The gentleman called customer care. He said a lot of um hmm's which made me very angry. He then hung up the phone and told me they would contact me by letter with an answer and credit if I was owed any money. I then called again a lot transfers and then I was told I would be receiving a check in the mail and the young lady would call me back to confirm my refund in three days. This never happened.

This would take too long to get into, but let's say their customer service isn't what it used to be. They say one thing and do another. Ever since I dropped one of the lines, they keep billing me too much. It might appear "fixed" after speaking to a rep, but when I go back online later or a day, or several days later, the amount I supposedly owe increases, and regardless of who I talk to, or what I'm told, it keeps changing, where I'm being billed too much. I'm glad they don't take it out automatically, or they would go into my checking account and take out whatever they wanted. I could go on, but it gets too involved to explain.

    The only good customer service is when they sign you up. Buyer BEWARE!! My spouse and I signed up for the 55 and older plan as it was cheaper than ** and had better data plan. Within a few weeks, after a trip to PA, we found out we had areas of spotty or no service. We went back to the store and were told "maybe it's your phone settings." My spouse had purchased a Samsung phone from T-Mobile when we signed up and the phone was paid in full. After less than a month, we decided to cancel and go with another company. Shortly after that, the Temporary Unlock (unknown to us) that was on his phone, was now locked! My spouse was on travel at the time and was told by the 800# Reps that he would have to go to a T-Mobile store.

    When he returned from travel, he went back to the local store where the phone was purchased and the store reps told him he had to call customer service. WTH? I might add, since he was past the 14 day limit to return the phone, they had us in a bind and they would not give an inch for the sake of a happy customer. Promise after promise - calling the T-Mobile 800 number only to get someone in the Philippines and to get a US based agent (they weren't any more helpful) required hanging up and redialing in hopes you would get someone in the US. Rep from Philippines lied and said they would note our issues and contact the local store for us and all my spouse had to do was to go back to the store and they would take care of the issue. Guess what? Store said they had no record of this and "no one called us".

    I am not exaggerating when I say I spent at least 4 hours over several weeks calling only to have to explain the story over and over. Finally I got a US based agent, who said she would see what she could do to get his phone unlocked. Everyone told me, including her, that to unlock the phone would take 3-5 business days. Say what? She acted like she was not sure, but she would try to get it unlocked and after about 30 minutes on the phone with her, my spouses phone was magically unlocked. Shameful company!

    It is by far the best cell service for the best price. Customer service is better than any other service I've used (Verizon and AT&T). Most extras at no additional charge, like wifi calling and video streaming.

    I like their cost. But too many issues with reception. They really try to accommodate their customers. I appreciate the signal booster which seem to work most times. I use to use Straight Talk, which I really liked except they have the worst customer service. This is not the issue with T-Mobile, their customer service is great.

    I used to love T-Mobile. Now I'm starting to hate T-Mobile. Before 2 months ago, I would call T-Mobile and a friendly person with answer my phone call in 2-5 minutes. Now someone in corporate decided it would be cheaper to Offshore customer service and now I wait between 20 minutes to an hour to get someone to answer customer service calls. Proof: I called this morning at 6:45 a.m. on a Saturday and the recording said you'll have to wait 20 minutes to get your call answered. Customer service can't answer a call for 20 minutes 6:45 a.m. on a Saturday?? T-Mobile better wake up or it's going to lose major customers. T-Mobile needs to fire whatever corporate executive came up with the idea to Offshore customer service from American labor markets. Call T-Mobile customer service anytime, and you'll see that this corporate decision IS NOT WORKING!!!

    I have used T-Mobile for several years. Of all of the other carriers theirs is the most reasonable and used to have excellent customer service. I did have an issue with them once but I have not had to call customer service in a while. Their coverage can be a bit spotty but I will sacrifice that as opposed to the price of Verizon and the crappy customer service of AT&T.

    I planned to change to an account plan from a pay as you go plan... The staff at the T-Mobile store spent 8 hours trying to accomplish this... Although the store staff was wonderful, the people on the other end of the phone were obnoxious and rude... The first young lady helping me needed to repeat several times to the T-Mobile staff on the phone: "It isn't necessary to be disrespectful... No need to yell, I'm trying to assist a customer".

    The issue was that my phone number had been disconnected during the process and could not be reconnected. Nor could I open an account under another number as I had been assigned an account under the disconnected phone number. After 8 hours I went across the street and got a Verizon phone. Now get this... I am being charged for a phone service that never existed... T-Mobile insists the mistake has been rectified and the account that never existed has been cancelled but I am receiving bills threatening collection. No matter how many calls I make to Team Mobile, the bills keep coming for a non-existent T-Mobile account... Beyond belief.

    T-Mobile is an alright phone company. I have a total of 9 lines, phone and tablet, with them, and have unlimited talk, text and data. I receive a discount because I sign to have my monthly phone bill auto-debited from my account. And I receive a $20 credit for each device that uses less than 20 Gig of data a month. I pay $320 for all lines. My biggest complaint is when streaming radio music while listening, there is frequent buffering, then loss of music.

They tried to charge me usage for the time lapse between when I cancelled originally and when they finally actually cancelled it. I called, they looked into it and there had been 0 usage. They tried to charge me for phones they had! Take care of all of this and then 7 months later find out they sent me to collections for $47 on phones they had!!!

    They resold my phone somehow managed to leave my apple account connected. How do I know? Because my contacts started getting calls from my old number??? I've had 5-6 conversations about this issue. Never once was there a mention of this $47 prior to them sending it to collections. I call the collection agency and they say they can't fix it. I call T-Mobile who says they can't fix it either so guess who is paying for a phone that T-Mobile has already resold!!! Me. Screw me. Right?!?

    T-mobile was or is offering perks to current Verizon wireless customers to sign up with their service. I signed up as a current Verizon wireless customer because I feel my current VZ wireless bills are a bit steep monthly. I called and signed up very easily after the credit score and fact that I was a VZ wireless customer was verified quickly over the phone. I received the SIM cards but decided to not activate the cards because I decided to stay with Verizon wireless. I called T-Mobile to cancel. Spoke with their customer care and I was sent to the cancellation team. I advised that I did not activate service and my account was terminated. No money owed. This was the end of August.

    Two weeks ago I receive a bill in the amount of thirty three cents. I disregarded it. A week ago I received a bill for one hundred dollars and thirty three cents. I called customer care last night. Spoke to a representative. Advised the situation. Spoke with a supervisor because the conversation was not going well in terms of direction about the fact that I never activated service. Supervisor agreed. I was advised I’m not a T-Mobile customer. I asked for a email verification. I have not received one.

    I now have a "if you don’t pay this goes to collections" notice. I called again. Twice. Was told transferred to their Texas dept that handles account cancellations. Was told I owe three dollars. I asked Eric who is the rep. Imagine never activating service and receiving any bill. Or confirmation of termination. He had no response. Their center cannot issue an email of confirmation. I received a quick response and email of activation but this is the treatment for nonactivation? Unreal.

In my opinion I would not recommend this service for anyone. Truly a service that is worst than Sprint and I did not think it was possible with Sprint's dropped calls from years ago.

    I am satisfied with my T-Mobile cell service as far as the Unlimited Call, Text and Data plans. However, when it comes to contacting T-Mobile to get an important account issue resolved like getting an "authorized user" removed from your account, T-Mobile never wants to provide their customers with any notes from the call nor do they give us access to the details of what was discussed. For example, I had someone on my authorized user list, meaning they shared the account with me but had their own separate phone. This meant that they could call T-Mobile using my passcode and discuss anything related to the "joint" account. But when personal situations changed, I contacted T-Mobile years ago when it happened and talked to a rep for over an hour to get that person removed as an authorized user. They said it was resolved and recently in 2017 I found out that the person was able to purchase a new phone under my account.

    Basically, I had no records to prove that I requested the removal of that person from my account and had to go through this process all over again on the phone. This time, I was able to get SOME notes which were vague, like "an authorized user was removed or added to your account". Of course, they didn't include the specific name of the person so I find that odd and I need to be able to reference details like that in the future. So I wrote all this to express how T-Mobile is stingy with the customer's own information. I never see important notes in my T-Mobile account unless it's something super simple like an upgrade on a device or usage details. Let it be something more important where you ask the rep directly if they can send you a statement or document in writing to prove that you requested something and they always say no. I don't like that but it's affordable right now and cell service is good.

    Today I tried to upgrade one of the lines on our TMobile account to iPhone X. It is advertised as an easy upgrade, with a simple monthly payment plan and there is even a rebate for turning in your old phone. Like many other customers I found out that apparently we have to provide a down payment, which is for me - customer with “excellent credit” - is 279.99 - close to 30% of the cost of the phone! When I tried to understand where does it say - on the website or in the promotional emails - that there is going to be a down payment - I was getting nowhere with the customer service, except a confirmation that this is their practice due to rising cost of the device. But they don’t advertise it as such - their competition doesn’t require a down payment after all, so they mislead their customers into thinking they are getting even better deal with TMobile, because of the additional rebate.

    This is not TRUTH in ADVERTISING. And when I tried to escalate it - their customer service refused to let me escalate. They told me that I am not authorized to discuss upgrade (account is on my husband’s name, but I am authorized to make financial decisions) and they stopped answering my questions. While I was on the phone with customer service representatives of different types (4 or 5 different people) I was told that down payment is based on the credit standing with TMobile. I asked that they reveal to me based on what conditions they estimate the down payment - they refused to answer. I demanded that they run my credit report - they refused to do that too. They did not disclose to me the conditions that I have to meet to qualify for zero down payment nor do they make this information available on their website or in their customer documents. I am appalled at TMobile and I will be taking my business elsewhere.

    I use AT&T now. This past summer, because of their poor spotty connection I was looking to switch. I bought a one month trial sim card from a T-Mobile store to "test and see if I get signal." Well I do not. Not at all. So the next day I returned it, got a refund and thought I was done. Aug comes, I get a huge bill. I called, went through voicemail from hell since no company actually answers their phone anymore, got switched to several people, a few looked up my account and confirmed I have never actually made any calls and in the end was assured it was taken care of.

    Well it's Oct 27th now and I got another bill for 115.00. This time I took down names. Got Mark first. Assured me he would take care of it. I said, "Yea, like last time? Please give me a supervisor." Switched me through to another Mark. Who then switched me through to "customer loyalty" and I spoke with Loraine and had to explain it all over. Then she has to switch me over to Ann in customer care, had to explain it all again. She swore it would be taken care of. I said, "Good but I was told that back in Aug."

    This time I will file a complaint with the BBB. Just after I finished doing that the phone rang. Leanne from T-Mobile who wanted to find out whose name is on the bill I got. OH MY GOD! I have explained this mess over and over and they STILL get it wrong? The bill is in MY name but I have not made or received a SINGLE CALL with this company. NO SIGNAL. Had the card for less than 24 hours and returned it. I AM NOT YOUR CUSTOMER. And I love how the bill states if I don't pay they may shut off my phone. It's with AT&T so how do they think they can even do that? They CAN screw with my credit rating though which is why I have to keep trying to get them to fix this mess.

    Somehow when I bought the sim card I got signed up as a customer and their store clerk never "canceled" my account that I didn't know I signed up for. I THOUGHT I might do that IF the card worked but since it does not, I returned it, got a refund, thought that was that. So she wants me to sit on hold and talk with customer care.

    At this point I shout STOP. I already talked with Mark, then Mark, then the Loyalty team, then customer care. And did all this back in Aug. too. Now I have to talk with customer care AGAIN? All the while the calls are supposedly recorded. And yet not one department can forward the problem to the next let alone fix it. She assured me she really wants me to speak to customer care so fine, I say ok. Hold music starts playing in some foreign language and so broken up I can barely understand WHAT language. Several minutes later a voice tells me to please keep holding, THEN I PROMPTLY GET CUT OFF. An hour later and no one has called me back.

    So now I'm filing as many complaints as I possibly can. I will keep records of who I did and what was said. And the NEXT bill I get, (and I'm sure I will.) I'll just let go. They will most certainly sell off my "unpaid bill" to some collection company, who in turn will foul up my credit rating. I want printed copies of every complaint form I filled out so I can mail those off to all three credit bureaus when the time comes. Unless someone can actually fix this mess. I AM NOT THEIR CUSTOMER. My phone number is with AT&T. I Never was a T-Mobile customer, never made a single call. Had the sim card for less than 24 hours. It doesn't work. WHY do I keep getting bills and WHY can't they be mandated to hire help who can actually do their jobs? PS, this page wants an order number. I'll put the customer account number that shows up on my bill that I never should be getting. It's not an "order" number though.

    I've had a T-Mobile Hotspot account for several years. I used it mostly for travel. Since I didn't use it several months out of the year, I kept it active by paying a small fee each month which included a minor amount of data. Recently I got a new phone (this happened to be with Verizon) which included a hotspot. Since I didn't need the T-Mobile one any longer, I got online and looked for how to cancel my account. I didn't find any clear information. Therefore I called their customer service number, I explained this all to the rep and she told me that the account would be cancelled if I didn't pay it the next month or two. I got the next months bill and ignored it.

    When I got the third month's bill saying I owed $60 now, I called again and again explained everything to the rep, she connected me with billing and they insisted that I owed the $60 since I didn't cancel and there was no record of my original call. I tried to explain that my record would show that I never used the hotspot for many months and had been paying all along up to the purchase of the new phone. She said I would be getting a notice. Today I got a demand letter from T-Mobile collections dept. for the $60. This is a ripoff, since it seems the first rep gave me the correct info and/or didn't direct me to where I could find the cancellation info on the website.

    I transferred my service from Verizon to T-Mobile to save money and was promised I would be reimbursed by T-Mobile for early termination fees from Verizon, as T-Mobile advertises. After 4 submissions of my final bill from Verizon, two were sent to the wrong e-mail address, T-Mobile informed me that my phone didn't qualify??? T-Mobile supposedly bought my new phone and sold me a T-Mobile phone, only recognized to be used on a T-Mobile plan.

    So, now that I have cancelled T-Mobile, I cannot use or sell back my T-Mobile phone. After 5 hours in the T-Mobile store trying to set up a new account, the untrained representatives finally realized they had put in the wrong sim-card. When I finally left the store I only had 1 bar and when I called to complain T-Mobile sent me a "cell spot" which did not help. When I received my first month bill, I found that the credit for my Verizon phone, which I have the receipt for, was never applied to my T-Mobile bill. After numerous calls and talking to at least 50 people, my bill has never been settled.

    Oh, and by the way, my Verizon numbers were never ported over to T-Mobile so I was still paying on a Verizon account. I would NEVER recommend T-Mobile and after I get my "final bill" settled, I will never have anything to do with them again. At least half of the representatives I have talked to, either on the phone or in T-Mobile stores, have no clue what they are doing. Maybe T-Mobile needs to train their representatives better before they advertise and make promises they definitely do not keep.
