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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    They are very rude, unhelpful and each one tells you something different. I've called 10 times to try and get help. Each one tells something different or say, "There's nothing we can do." Really aggravating. My daughter was playing with my phone and was watching cartoons on the T-Mobile TV app already on the phone front screen when opened. Was not aware that her doing so would use up high speed data. Called to see if there was anything they could do since I just activated the phone less than 24 hours beforehand and all my high speed data gone was told to buy extra pack which I can't use after doing so then was told "Nothing we can do. You shouldn't have used the TV app, we don't support that." Then why is it on the phone pre-downloaded?

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

    I honestly don't feel the need to give them even one star on this review.. I went away from T-Mobile and unfortunately I can't at the moment. If I could just make payments on the phone and not the whole plan I would. Every time I go into the store I always have a bad experience and my service is horrible. I spend 10-12 hrs at my job and I can't even send a text out. What is the point in even having a phone if I can't call out or send text? I would not advise anyone to get T-Mobile because the only time I truly have good service is if I have a good WiFi connection.

    I have been a customer for 10 years now and every time I call, they would always mention they value me as a customer. They just pass me to a different customer service and did not offer to resolve the issue. I have missed job opportunities and work related text messages because of the phone that they knew causing a problem. I was informed that they are fixing the bug for the S5. All I wanted to do is to return the phone but they wanted to replace it with the same one. In which it doesn't make any sense because the bug is still not fixed. I am definitely switching carrier in the next couple of weeks.

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

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

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

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

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

    I canceled my T-Mobile Service on December 14. The lady I spoke to said that the billing cycle ends on the 13th, and then specifically told me that she would cancel it as of the 13th and that I wouldn't be charged for the one day. Fast forward to February and I get a charge on my credit card for $4.96 from T-Mobile. When I call to ask why, I was told it was for that one day I was specifically told I wouldn't have to pay for. I've been a customer of T-Mobile for around 10 years with no problem, but now they are gonna nickle and dime me for one day. So for $4.96 and a broken promise, they will lose my future business.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I was told that once I paid the current bill (Jan 13-Feb 14), I would not owe any money to T-Mobile. Lo and behold, a final bill came in for $2.76. The rep noted that the charge was for overage that occurred in the Jan 13-Feb 14 time frame that was triggered by a change in my account. The rep was unable to explain to me exactly what was going on. I honestly think T-Mobile is billing me in error. I fear that they are doing this to many people and claiming fraudulent revenue.

    My wife bought a Samsung s4 from one of your stores in late Nov. 2014. She has had problems with the phone and finally it quit working. We took it to a T-Mobile store and was told that it must be shipped to T-Mobile for replacement. We did not like being without a phone for 3 weeks but OK we bought a temporary phone. The people in your store gave us a shipping bag and directions to what to include and what not to include when shipping the phone back.

    When the phone finally arrived back to us it was without the back cover. The man speaking to my wife apparently has a good sense of humor because he laughed when he said she may not be able to buy a back cover for the phone. We followed the directions and now we are told that it is our problem to find a back cover? The cavalier attitude coming from our multiple conversations with your personnel reflects very poorly on your company as a whole.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    Well it started off by normally paying my bill through t-mobile's automated service and then I spoke to a customer representative which took my payment. Then in 2 days my phone was shut off and they said I had non payment, but my account had been emptied which I use my card just to pay my t-mobile bill so I don't have to go to their store, and I tried to explain to the customer service that I had called my card and they said that I had definitely been billed. Then I called t-mobile and they told me that I hadn't but I know I don't have my money, my card says that T Mobile took my money and T-Mobile treated me like I'm an idiot and acted like I am trying to steal from them. I have never been treated in a way or manner that made me feel so angry.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I received an email telling me to check out their new 4G data speeds yesterday, but when I turned on my data, I still only had 2G. When I went online to find out what the issue may be (I figured they may still be working on the tower), I was redirected to a page of "approved compatible phones" with their new 4G network. My phone wasn't on the list. Despite my phone having 4G LTE capabilities, they didn't recognize it as "compatible" with their new tower.

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

They said January 19, 2015. Hmmm, ok but they said they scrapped the phone in December.

    They are going to continue to charge me for a phone I no longer have and they received in Dec of 2014. I will be contacting a consumer lawyer as what they are doing is wrong. I abided by the contract and they, broke it... Disgracefully. I'm displeased with T Mobile service and hope this lawsuit I bring against them will prevent future victims of fraudulent activity by the company.

    I signed up with T-MOBILE to reduce international call rates from Stateside and Internationally. When I joined, I was promised 2-5 lines for $110 total that changed when I added more than two lines - they wanted $10 per line additional after the first two lines. I did not read the fine print. Website and sales people said FREE WIFI calling. Well it is not free - $0.20/min in most cases! Many other padded charges. T-MOBILE refuses credit on bad connections and even repeated one-minute calls claiming they have no way of knowing if the call was good or not. They are all legitimate calls. This and many other issues, AT&T perhaps appeared more expensive but I think overall they are actually less expensive and very generous with credits.

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

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

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

Apparently my bill must be paid by 23rd of month or I am assess a late fee. I have not changed the date when I pay my bill so what changed?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I ported my number over to Verizon on December 28th, after talking to a T-Mobile Representative that day about that very possibility and they said not to worry and I wouldn't be charged.

    A bill came in the mail two months later for 250 dollars. My normal bill with T-Mobile was 95 dollars so to say the least, I was shocked. I called and was told about the early termination fee and tried to talk some sense into the girl on the other end, but was pretty much told that it would be sent to collections if I didn't pay.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I asked since I've purchased multiple chargers over the years, can I get this one no charge since the last one I purchased lasted about 6 months max. He wouldn't do it. 12-15 years loyalty and they can't give me a freaking car charger? I have never asked them for anything "free" before.

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

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

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

I am an s/w engineer and I understand the system very well.

    Problem is... The agent had not taken action on 22nd and the T-Mobile doesn’t want to give service to customer care. When I have already suspended my account on 22nd Sept, how can they claim to give me service from 23rd to 22nd Oct? Moreover they claim that they charged me from both charges: $50.75 as well as $10. They didn't take action on time, and they are trying to explain the auto billing logic to customer!

    I contacted T-Mobile on chat as well as on call, they assured to refund me. Had number of times bad experience at their store also. THEY ARE RUDE!!! AND FORCED CUSTOMER TO DROP THE CALL (or THEY WILL) SUGGESTED to go out of store! When I warned them to raise a dispute, they always stopped me. Why so if they were right? Hoping to get a solution, and warn others to be aware of T-Mobile's any service!

    I signed my family up for T-Mobile about a year ago. We were switching from Sprint and did not have phones. My wife wanted the Gold iPhone, but they were out of stock. Using their 30-day return policy (when ordering online), we got a grey iPhone, then exchanged it when the gold came in. Here begins the problem. I also brought my parents over, but when my Dad tried to add themselves to our account, the rep they spoke with created a new account, and moved us over instead. For the next three days I had to deal with phone and store reps to sort out the mess that included phone sims being deactivated, billing issues, etc. Finally everything was squared up and I thought the worst was behind us. However, after checking my credit this December, I found that a collection had been opened against me in November by T-Mobile. No one EVER contacted me, even though I was a current customer.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Went to AT&T, bought a plan, then tried to unlock the phone. The code didn't work. Called TM customer service. Told me the TM account was closed (transferred to AT&T) so he couldn't help me. The TM agent said I should have gone to TM first, explained to him we did and the TM store agent screwed up.

I still owed 222.16 and only paid 135.16 and so on my new bill they put the 87.26$ as balance I owe them plus this month's which adds to 304$.

What they should have done is keep the bill as it was not change it to reflect that I owed 134.90 which according to them I should have paid the 222.16$ plus the 87.26$ on the due date.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

When the first came, I noticed the additional charges ran the bill up to $35.00 extra dollars the first month. I paid the bill quietly and opted to change carriers on the 10th of October 2014.

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

We were told that we would get excellent service in our area. Lies, all lies. We get absolutely no service. Also when we received our bill it was 367$ so I called to figure out why and was told I have 9 lines on my account. I argued for what seemed like hours and several transfers, (many to electronic answering services) that lines were added to our account without permission and further more we only had 6 devices we used. I finally convinced them that we had only 6 lines and they knocked the bill down to 291$ which I paid on the phone right away. So I then receive the next bill which was 292$ and I paid that.

    Today I called since I still haven't received my mastercard that they promised they'd send to pay off Verizon; just to check on that and they claim I owe 736$ by January 5. I called to find out wth they were talking about and I swear I got transferred every five minutes and was given the runaround for over an hour. I asked for a complete break down of my bill and payments I made and this ** talked in circles the whole time trying her hardest to confuse me while never able to give an exact answer! Still not resolved. They still say I owe for the 9 lines that were supposedly taken off because they were prorated. Lol what a joke.

    I had not had nor made the time but yesterday hearing more and more of people complain about the same thing, I felt it my obligation to share my story. Upon finding out I was going to be laid off. My wife and I decided to make some adjustments. I had been with AT&T for over 12 years and had no problems. We were attracted by T-mobile years earlier because they provided a home service for $10 a month. My wife then ported her number to them to qualify for the home service, therefore allowing us to cancel our land line. A few years later we added our teenage daughter to a "family plan". Upon, the recent news about my company selling and laying 90% of their staff off. I shopped around and found that what I thought would be my least expensive option was to port my line to our family plan. Big mistake. The store experience was awful, not so much for the sales people but a rude manager. I was promised that the porting would be smooth and I would not be without service. Important for me since my daughter was going on a field trip and my wife was swamped with work. Come to find that my phone is disconnected for 48 hours, went back and forth to the store (46 mile round trip).

    Upon not having service I asked to speak to the manager who was more interested in finding out who had sold me the phone than to solve my problem. I told him "I am not here to get someone in trouble. I just need a solution." He stood up and asked me to leave and call 611. I was shocked and instead of going with my proud macho instinct I walked out feeling not only humiliated, mistreated and ego bruised. I must say for the most part 611 technical is really good. My phone was working, I was on a family plan, we were saving a little money. All was good. I thought. In the hunt for a new job I had been working on my CV and contacted some talent hunting agencies and gave them my contact information which mainly was home and mobile (both on T-Mobile).

    It really hit me one night in November 2013 when my wife had agreed that the ones closest would pick up our daughters from faith formation class that evening. I was running late and tried calling my wife a record of 35 times having it go straight to voice mail. I was livid, how can she let her phone die, didn't I get her a car charger and even a back up charging unit? How irresponsible, now I have to rush and get them. If I was angry, not sure there is a term for how my wife was when we both arrived at the church almost simultaneously. She thought I had let my battery die as well. It so happen that it was a network problem. Ok, this happen, and we both picked up our kids.

    This network issue became more and more obvious, getting voice mail instead of calls and since they were on the media announcing they buy everyone out of their contract. I thought maybe they are saturated. Now December comes around. One morning we have a knock on the door, it’s one of my neighbors, “hey, I’ve been trying to call you since last night to tell you you left your garage open.” He goes "pay your bill", funny, just not when you are days from unemployment and no offers. With everything going on in my life I had not looked for work in 13 years I still didn't add it up.

    We had a wedding overseas and played an important role so there was no way we could cancel. We were out of the country for 3 weeks, I was hopeful to have some interviews lined up on my home phone - nothing. I then have a friend tell me he tried calling for tee time with a guy that was opening a business in my area and wanted to introduce us but he could not get through. Now officially unemployed I call 611 to see what the deal is. Keep in mind that the mobile service is intermittent both on the voice and text, not to mention very slow data. I must have spent a good 6 hours on with 611 until finally an agent told me “Mr. ** , they are trying to discontinue this service.” I wish someone had told me that before having jump through hoops telling me my internet speed and computer this, that and the other.

    I cancelled it after not having any home service for the first three months of 2014 and the first three months of me searching for a job. My wife had been having very similar issues not to mention that trying to call within the "family plan" was a lottery to get through. My mom has T-mobile, very close friends have T-mobile and they all say the same thing.

    The last straw was on a business trip I had to drive around to get signal to report on the job site. This is when I decided enough is enough and switched our family and business to Verizon. So far so good, I always thought how many calls could I have missed with job offers? Come to think of it the only interviews I had were set up through emails. I must say that T-mobile's collections is working fine. They had sent a signal booster, that had not helped. Even after I sent it back in original box and pack as if it were new, I got a $500 bill for a device that one had already been returned and verified through tracking. T-Mobile is a service provider - shouldn't they refund the lack of service, what about the frustration of not being able to make important calls, or business calls or possibly opportunity calls. They are a horrible company. I then receive a card for .18 cents thanking me for my time with them.

    I hope more people take the time to tell their story with this company. I just think that like the lady I mentioned at the beginning, single mom, two jobs, most people do not have the time to be bounced around a call center of untrained and probably overwhelmed agents.

Well, of course I had service there and I was not going to get a new SIM card. The manager said, "You just had to give it time!” So, out the door, back to my place of employment, no service!!!

    So, for almost three days, no service. I went last night back to the store asking for my money back. My answer, "No way! We don't give money back on a pre-paid plan.” I said and showed what my receipt quoted, "Devices in 14 days will get a refund." He said, "That is not a device." I said, "What is a SIM card?" "You are not getting your money back. And there is no one above me that you can talk to you." So, I didn't want to make any more of a scene. I left and called customer support. Bottom line - No!

    Since I am a global traveler and at the suggestions of some of my colleagues, I wanted to look into switching from AT&T to T-Mobile as a phone carrier. I contacted T-Mobile and started to explore the options I have. Trouble for us started right from the beginning when the rep 'assured' us that we can switch our three iPhones (4S) over to T-Mobile in a very easy manner and that they will actually buy back the rest of the contract (which expires in three months, March of 2015). The Sales Rep also 'assured' us that the unlocking and the switching from one company to another will be the easiest process possible. In addition, I asked if any of their techs will be able to help us to replace some our iPhone batteries in the process, since they seem to have lived their cycle, to which I was AGAIN reassured that YES, there will be no problem with it. Once all "assurances" set in place, we started what it seemed a process of pre-qualification, where the rep started to ask me some questions to setup the information in the system. We decided I will purchase three SIM Cards from T-Mobile, they will send them over and then we'll start the process of the transfer, both for the accounts & numbers as well as the phones.

    The Sales Rep also mentioned that if all purchases and arrangements will be cancelled within 30 days from the first conversation, there will be no charges, no penalties and I will have a full refund on the SIM Cards purchase. That's when the whole trouble started... Soon after, I went to talk to a store manager in my neighborhood about the transfer and to start the process. The guy was quite knowledgeable and he started to explain to me that AT&T actually does NOT permit unlocks and transfers until the full balance (including penalties) is paid in full, and only THEN it takes up to 72 hours after the payment is received and the unlock request is submitted to have the phones unlocked. He also explained to me that T-Mobile does NOT buy back remaining contracts UNLESS you are purchasing brand new phones from them (fact that the zealous Sales Rep "forgot" to mention). I then spoke with AT&T about the remaining contract and I was given a penalty for almost $300 to be freed of the contract (again, which will expire in only three months). Knowing all of the above I realized that it is not at all worth it trying to switch to T-Mobile right now and it's better to wait until spring to do the switch.

    I immediately called the T-Mobile Customer Care and started the process of cancellation of the account and all arrangements, that within exactly 9 days from the start of the whole process. I was given the confirmation for the account cancellation and verified it all, with the mention that my full refund cannot be issued until the NEXT billing cycle will come around, which she mentioned that will be on December 5th after which I will see the full refund on my Credit Card I used to purchase the SIM cards. Soon after that we started to receive one monthly bill after another (three notifications total) claiming our outstanding monthly balance ($109.30) when we didn't even start a service with T-Mobile. I kept on calling back after each time we received a bill notification and talking to one Customer Care Representative (CCR) after another who PROMISED me that everything will be taken care of (Notice that was NO mention of the fact the fact that the issue has been resolved, but that WILL be resolved, which contradicted entirely with everything I've been promised prior). Last time I received a bill was on Dec. 11th, 6(six) days after supposedly my refund was processed.

    I called again (for the fifth time) and connected with a CCR who apologized over and over, explaining to me that unfortunately they will have to issue a Check Refund actually and that she personally will make sure that this will be resolved. She also promised she will call back to my phone number directly within a week (by Thursday, Dec. 18th) to verify that I did get everything I needed and that the check arrived. To our total surprise, on Dec. 20th we received a NOTICE OF COLLECTION PLACEMENT notice, which as you can imagine left us completely stunned. I called immediately again and for the sixth time T-Mobile and asked to talk to a CCR Manager in the US (they use a regular Customer Service somewhere in Asia - again buyers beware!). He introduced himself as Kenneth, which took all my information and looked into the whole historical information.

    Please note travelers, if you are carrying a non American phone, there's a high chance it might not be compatible with the t-mobile network. I signed up to a prepaid plan and found out after I paid for everything that I'd only be getting 2G service, no refund or help from service staff, just a "sorry this happens often." So please roam on your old number first to see if the network appears as 2G or better. AT&T offers me 3G and much better service on the phone. T-mobile is not worth the trouble.

    For over 7 years I have had a T-mobile cell phone account, using it solely for calls. I have had NO problems either with reception or with billing...I actually bragged about T-Mobile, but now.......My plan doesn't include texting and I have no use for that aspect. Several years ago I called to make sure that ALL texting/messages were blocked to/from my phone. Beginning early this December, I received a text message from someone unknown, not the usual payment receipt text. I called t-m, was assured that all texts were now blocked since my first request didn't include "bubble texts"-short texts. WHAT??? a text message is a text message but not apparently to this TM employee. But with 30 minutes into trying to rectify this and then on to their tech section which assured me no texts could possibly ever get through and that there wasn't any virus or hacking on my phone...

    Today, December 17th, I receive not one but TWO text messages with info: "Please call a number and tell us you aren't a fake; love your fb pic." So back to customer service and Devon who keep his cool..explained that now, more stuff is coming in. PLUS, I was to have integrated tablet, phone and computer...no way, now am I going to put my on-line banking records on THIS phone or trust them to T-Mobile. So..on to their REAL tech service---and I asked for a received a month's billing credit.

    The point is: Their security, if this is a reflection of how tight it is, is absolutely nada---and that you folks with T-M should be very, very prudent what you put on your phone. Several comments below, especially that of someone whose home is being burglarized (the unknown has her gps, so if she is away from her home, they feel safe burglarizing it!!!) makes me very, very T-mobile shy. I am to be contacted by this new, improved tech department within 24-72 hours for absolute resolution. I may take my business and my peace of mind elsewhere.

    Tmobile could not provide us with service in our area. We changed over to another carrier who did provide us service. The carrier cancelled our number with Tmobile. Unfortunately we are setup with monthly pay plan, and Tmobile keeps on charging us for numbers that they no longer own. I spent several hours on the phone with them with no results. It was extremely frustrating. Anyone who uses Tmobile, be aware of letting them take money out of your account automatically. They owe us for 3 months. Will never go back to that company again.

    I had an account for years with T-Mobile despite their spotty service. I recently closed it to take advantage of a family plan on another carrier. Although T-Mobile frequently advertises about having NO contracts and claims that you can cancel at any time, it's really just another scam. What they don't tell you is that when you do cancel, they are going to charge you for a full month of service. I transferred my number on November 8 and today 12/16 they charged my bank account $95. When I called to inquire, they basically told me to read the fine print. Bye bye T-Mobile -- not going to miss your crappy service or bs claims.

    T-Mobile had been running an ad stating that they would pay off our disconnect fees if we switched to them and bought a new phone while trading in our old one. We went into the store and they ran everything on the computer showing us how much the disconnect fees would be and told us that they would take care of the disconnect fees right there at the store. The salesperson even showed us the information on the computer stating that once he submitted the application and it was approved that T-Mobile would assume the responsibility of the disconnect fee. We waited about 15 minutes or so and they finally accepted it. After spending 500 on 2 new phones and having another 400 broken down and billed to us monthly we were finally free from Verizon. 8 months later my mother receives a letter in the mail from a collections agency stating that we still owed Verizon for a disconnect fee. I called T-Mobile and the only thing they could tell me was that there was nothing that they could do because it has surpassed the 60-day period that we knew nothing about. I could go to the store and maybe get the bill taken care of by showing them the paperwork that states it would be taken care of.

    As for the inconvenience of having this go against my credit there is nothing that they can do. I wouldn't even be as upset if my phone worked when I travel outside city limits, but as soon as I leave the city of Columbus I lose signal and it does nothing but search for a signal until I get back inside city limits. Every once in a while it will show 5 bars and still won't allow me to make a phone call or use my phone in anyway outside city limits. I am so very disappointed with T-Mobile and all of their false promises. I told them over the phone I had a simple problem and asked them if they were too simple of a company to fix it. I was told I'm being unprofessional. In my experience being professional means taking care of your customer when they have an issue. The only answer I received was there is nothing we can do. I asked to speak with a supervisor, the girl said ok and within 60 seconds she told me 3 times that her supervisor was going to tell me the same thing that she just did. So customer service is not important to this company in any way. Several months ago I called in complaining that I couldn't send or receive group texts they shipped my problem to Apple, who then sent me back to T-Mobile because the problem was on their end.

    Once again they said it was an Apple issue and transferred me to Apple. So I took my phone into the Apple store and they showed me how it was on T-Mobile’s end. I then called T-Mobile back and they could not fix my problem. A week later I get a message on my phone about a service update, then my messages started working correctly. I have nothing good to say about T-Mobile.

    We canceled our T-Mobile account when the contract expired. We had a cellspot repeater, so we requested a return kit and sent it back. We have UPS tracking showing it delivered. T-Mobile sent us a bill for the cellspot, claiming that we had not returned it, then issued a late statement threatening to send it to collections. I called and gave the tracking number to customer service who was able to look it up and verify the delivery, yet they would not credit my account. Customer service claimed that it was shipped to the wrong address, but we used their pre-printed shipping label to send the package, so if it went to the wrong address, the fault is purely theirs. They said that they would have to issue a search internally to find it and that it would take several days. I called back after several days and they said that the search would take 5 days.

    On the 6th day, I called and they said that the search takes 9 to 15 days. I asked to speak to someone in charge, and customer service said that tracking has no extension in their phone directory. They then transferred me back to the queue to wait for another customer service agent who (it was the same one I spoke to earlier) now claimed not to be able to hear me - when I tried to give them a call back number, they claimed that they couldn't understand what I was saying. They will not credit my account even though I have the tracking showing that they received it, nor will they allow me to speak to anyone in authority. Does anyone have the contact number for someone in T-Mobile who actually has the authority to do anything?

    When I first signed up with T-Mobile approx 5 years ago, I took out a plan for 2 lines that consisted of sharing unlimited data for approx 20 dollars a month. Throughout the years there was always a consistent monthly price I paid for their service, excluding monthly payments of new phones that I would purchase. For the past year or so, my monthly bill averaged around 160 bucks. Considering I have just purchased 2 of the latest Samsung Galaxy phones through them, that was a fair price I thought. Yesterday, I checked my account and saw that T-Mobile charged me 40 bucks on my last bill, bringing my new monthly payment to now, 200 bucks a month. I called them up asking for an explanation why.

    Apparently, I was on an old plan that they no longer offered and they decided to "grandfather" me into their new plan, where each line in my account got charged 20 bucks. Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't being "grandfathered" mean to slowly be introduced to something new in the hopes that it will gradually be taken on? How is 40 bucks EXTRA a month being freaking grandfathered in? To make matters worst, they did all of this B.S on my account without ANY notification to me... no written letters... no phone calls... no nothing. At this point of the conversation, I'm absolutely fed up and asked the phone rep to stop talking to me for a sec as an employee of T-Mobile but simply as a consumer that has just been notified without warning that there will be a dramatic increase per month of a charge in a service she is with. She responds back with her sincerest apologies and says to me that T-Mobile doesn't usually make changes to an account without notification first and issues a credit of 40 bucks back to me.

    She also starts to explain that they have a new promotion on unlimited data plans where If I got it, I would only be paying 12 or so dollars a month extra. I asked her how long has the promotion been in effect and how long will it last, she tells me that the promotion has been in effect for months and that as of current, the promotion is not due to end anytime soon. That got me thinking... If the promotion has been on for months... Why the hell did they charge my account 40 bucks extra and not the promotional price where it would have costed me just 12 bucks a month extra? Were they really hoping that I wouldn't notice that dramatic increase since I'm on reoccurring payments? That idea alone, pissed me off so much, that I said to her, I don't want any of the stinking promotions being offered and to just take off unlimited data from my account. So now, here I am with two fairly new phones and no data plan aside from the 1g they give gratis, I will always have to try and remember to connect to WIFI. T-Mobile is going down the toilet, do not bother with this company. Once I am done paying off my phones, I will be gone for sure.

    Last month I call T-Mobile while at the T-Mobile store. (You must go inside store to be able to reach them by phone without going to new accounts.) After 45-50 minutes the lady assured me that everything had been paid, I owed nothing, and that I would never have to speak to the vindictive, mean, and discriminating employees at the 164th store. I then went to Walmart knowing I would be able to keep number and bought a new sim card. My son had his phone stolen 6 days after I bought it, and I paid insurance on it. I suspended the line once I figured out how to from my phone a couple days later. I went into the store to pay bill and again in person told them about stolen phone. The guy said it had to be enabled to disable or something. That guy added data to the suspended stolen phone line at $10.00 dollars a month. Maybe when Jorge sold me 4 sims though I only had 3 phones, he just possibly liked phone number **. I did not get that number. But they still claim the mine son’s phone that was stolen ** as unsuspended and getting text messages.

    Track it. I paid for it with the insurance! I again spoke to many representatives today taking over an hour, I was transferred to the cancellation department at least three times and I finally hung up because I had a prior appointment that I nearly missed. I figure even though I am the adult that paid off the phone so I could cancel the line, not just suspend, and cancelled primary number on account, never used one sim and destroyed one at store. Said I never wanted to go in store again in my life, and also wanted my number to port to new carrier. What part of cancellation or new account elsewhere do they not understand? I believe there are enough people with terrible service and over billing because of long calls accomplishing absolutely nothing but thinking every thing was straightened out, even doing a survey and answering with much higher numbers than what actually should have given. YES I would like to see a class action suit but they have arbitration clause that I was not aware of so I don't know if legally I can do anything. I think employees that cannot reverse things on an account should never be able to add things either. Big problem. My number does not even get an associate into the system.

Get Higher Valuation based upon active customers, monthly and pre-paids/ MVNO's. Legere is not legit. He builds up companies to merge or be sold at higher valuations than reality. This company has the lowest profit margins and the worst coverage after 16 years in wireless! They are the worst mobile company, unless you live in the big city, near airport, business hub or medical facility. Try leaving the immediate suburbs or major populations... data, voice and text is terrible.

    I don't see Verizon and AT&T giving away devices and paying ETF's... because they actually have service where T-Mobile does not! Good luck with that long term debt and giving away the bank trying to get a merger deal for Softbank. The only positive aspect about T-Mobile, is unlocking GSM phones (after your mandated term contract) & using AT&T MVNO SIM card.

    I purchased a new HTC one m8 in August 2014. I have had several problems with the device and network. On 11/17/14 the problems with the device started getting worse and by the 19th, I was unable to make/Receive calls, texts were unable to send off and on. I called T-mobile when I was able to complete a call (I think it connected via wifi) calling has been in and out, mostly out. T-mobile sent me a replacement device (same HTC). I was told by the rep they were out of stock but would receive the device within 4 days. This was on 11/19, I received the new device on 12/5 and activated it on 12/6. I discovered I still had the same problems and contacted T-mobile via twitter @tmobilehelp, I have spent countless hours tweeting with them trying to get them to send a different device after they confirmed it was not a service related issue.

    I told the rep I previously had an iphone4 I bought used on craigslist and used it for 3 years (problem free) and my daughter now uses it with no trouble and that I wanted them to send me an iphone 5s in an exchange for the htc. They said I can upgrade with the jump plan but would have to pay a down payment of $378 plus tax and make payments of $7.16 a month for 24 months. I said "no way." First I'm a single father of two and disabled veteran living on social security with a house and only have just over $200 a month to live on after bills and that's an extremely difficult thing to do. I paid for a new device and owe nothing on it and after two new devices, common sense tells me, get a different device. Now all of this time I've been basically disconnected from my children and the world. I must have communication with my children first for emergencies and so they know they can reach dad if they need me when they're at school or friends, wherever.

    Demanding I pay for another phone that is less expensive after I've paid for one and it doesn't work, that's just criminal!!! What kind of senseless idiots are providing what they call help, are employed at T-mobile? I've asked, "what are you going to do about crediting my account for service I've paid for but have been unable to use?" They totally evaded the question. Not one response to it! I've noticed that everything I'm able to do on this phone is going through my home wifi. I've also asked, "what are you going to do if you send me another HTC and it doesn't work?" They have not responded to this question either. I have told them several times throughout my frustrated messaging to just send the dang phone if you're not going to give me a different device, I need something so I can be reached and to call out. They kept eventually coming back with, just to clarify blah blah blah. And I would get so mad because it had been 23 days now 24 and they just asked me for my shipping address in the last hour or two. They have shipped two devices here and do not have my address???

    Last night I tweeted them and asked, "why hasn't t-mobile even tried to call me?" They replied "good question!" I've tried several times to call T-mobile and every time when I tap call, the phone just goes bleep, and nothing. Any normal human being would expect the company they purchase products and service from, to take care of them when their products and/or service are faulty.

    I paid a lot of money for that phone and expect t-mobile to provide me with a quality working device and after all of the hours spent and days without the ability to call, the blood pressure spikes and the flat out incompetence and what appears to be intentional robbery for lack of a better description. How are they losing anything by making a customer satisfied? If they got $500, $600, $700 out of a device that probably cost them $30-$40, I don't know, but you know the markup is outrageous. Who would have ever thought $500-$900 would be an average cost for a danged phone anyway. I think T-mobile should be held responsible for ripping people off and any other carrier or company that does business like this. Is it going to break the T-mobile bank by providing a paying customer whom has already paid for a device and should have a good working device no matter what the price tag was. I don't think so. In fact, T-mobile and the rest would find out, if you take care of the people who make you successful, you will remain successful. But, if you don't care about those whom are your livelihood, wake up.

    Sorry for the venting but the past 24 days have taken their toll on me. This could have been simple and painless and I wish it had been. Now T-mobile has turned me into someone who is not going to give up. They should either hire people with people skills or maybe it is just T-mobile making their employees be **, I don't know. Just send me a phone that works and I don't mean for a few months or a year, like I said, I had a used iphone 4 for 3 years and no trouble as it's been with my daughter for 3 months now and still no problems. That's why I want an iphone because I can depend on it.

The customer service was horrible, if an agent doesn't know what to do they just keep transferring you and I have to keep repeating my problem over and over again until someone can help me.

    All I wanted was to know where my phone was and if it was lost, how do I get new phones. It wasn't a hard problem to solve but it took 1.5 hours and tons of time to get resolved, which is unacceptable. If t-mobile charged me for the phone, I expect to receive them. Afterwards, I was told that it would take a minimum of 8 days to receive my refund (after already taking over 5 weeks) and had to place a second order (and pay for a new set of phones).

I realized I was dealing with a company that would agree to anything, tell you anything, and after they have your money, you get NOTHING BUT GRIEF. I never activated the phone. I never turned the phone on. I returned everything the next day. Yep, I owned it less than a week, and returned it. TMobile will take your money out of your account within minutes of gaining your approval, but it will take months to get your money back. First, they will credit your account within 30 days, as required, but NOT ALL YOUR MONEY! Nope. They also have a "security deposit" tucked away in another account.

    Oh, wait, did you want that security deposit back? Good luck trying to find a representative willing to do that for you. After many, many, phone calls, and hours on the phone, I finally found someone willing to do the job. She made phone calls to the people who had my deposit, and convinced them that I should be given a refund. "No problem. TMobile will simply wait 30 days, and the customer will get a paper bill. When the customer gets the bill, the customer must call back and ask for the deposit to be refunded. At that time, if no calls have been made on that phone, then we will refund the deposit AS A GIFT CARD." I don't want a damn gift card. I just want to undo the whole experience with TMobile and get my money so I can buy a phone and plan somewhere else.

    T-Mobile already corrected the error on my service plan this morning. It looks good now. Thanks.

    I have a grandfather old plan (Value Family Plan) from T-Mobile for many years. Recently, T-Mobile sent me a notification letter that they are no longer carry this old plan and will upgrade my plan to "Select Choice Family Unlimited TT 50" with no additional cost, no action require..." I called in on 11/17/14 to verify it and the Customer Service Rep. gave me the same answer as like in the letter indicated and it will effective end of November 2014.

    As of 12/01/14, they have changed my plan and I get charge for $10.00 for additional line, instead of $5.00 that I currently pay. I called them over last few days to ask for correction the error. They told me that they can't fix the rate for my existing additional line back to $5.00 that I have before. That mean, I have to accept a new plan with additional cost for my additional line. I have been transferred to many call....then, one of Royalty Customer Care Representative told me that she will correct the error within 24 hrs but until now it's not been fix yet.

    I am upset about a tablet order I placed about a week ago... so miscommunication happened with the order and I called today to get it straightened out after I went in store and found out we had a problem. The representative assured me that she would fix the problem and send me the tablet I ordered which is a Christmas present for one of my kids. When I never receive the email to finish the order I called back concerned. Upon talking to another representative to tell me that I couldn't do anything, that they were all sold out… and there was not a way she could have saved the situation either. So I was lied to and now my child will not receive that tablet... I'm highly upset that that lady talked to me for 30 min acting like she could help me when all along she was lying and she even said she talked to her supervisor. Needless to say I will no longer be associated with T-Mobile - very unprofessional how I was treated...

    Contract & Terms

    We had a couple of T-Mobile's "Pay-As-You-Go" Legacy accounts... no contract, no statements. A few days ago, we contracted with AT&T Wireless, and AT&T performed a routine deactivation/cancellation of our T-Mobile service so we could port our existing numbers to AT&T. We called T-Mobile's billing dept. the next day to check on our account credit balances ($100+), and were informed they would forfeit any credits due our cancellation. The only alternative we were offered was to assign the credit to another T-Mobile customer. This is common THIEVERY... It's our funds, not theirs! Apparently, T-Mobile thinks its customers are just captives, and subject to their internal rules. We signed no contract, and expected a full refund of our credit balances, just as we would have from any legitimate business. We've filed complaints with the California Public Utilities Commission and the FCC.

    I've been a T-Mobile customer for a couple of years now. Two months ago, I decided to upgrade from my old iPhone 4 to iPhone 6. Since then things were getting progressively worse and worse.. It took HOURS to do all the papers and make all the transfers. The representative at the store ordered a wrong phone and we had to redo most papers. He also put a $10 monthly service on my account that I did not ask for, which I later had to cancel and call in to get my money back. I had $70 left on my prepaid plan which T-Mobile refused to transfer to my monthly plan (should have read the signs and left right then...) So that money was essentially lost.

    My old iPhone 4 was estimated at $202 and I was told I will have to mail it back when my new iPhone 6 arrives in mail. I was told the new phone will be there in 3 business days. 7 days later, I got an e-mail saying I will get my iPhone 6 in 5 WEEKS due to a backorder. Over a month later, I finally got the iPhone 6 and mailed my old phone back right away. After a few weeks passed, I noticed a $51 credit on my account for the old phone I mailed as a trade-in ($151 short of what I was promised). Upon a call to customer service, I was told that they received the old phone too late and my trade-in offer expired! I am so outraged!

    They lured me in with a $202 trade-in promise, then made me wait indefinitely and finally refused me what was promised and made it look like my own fault! I spoke with the representative over the phone, then with their manager and all I was able to get was a compensation of $10.. What a joke! I am leaving T-Mobile, my husband will be leaving as soon as his prepaid balance runs out. I am going to tell all my friends about this experience and this review will be posted in every possible place on the web. I hope T-Mobile enjoys the $220 they stole from me. Very unwise and shortsighted.

    I went to T-Mobile for an upgrade from iPhone 5 to Galaxy S5 in July. I was told that I qualified for 0 money down. I was so excited that I did not look at the actual contract. I decided to trade in my iPhone 5 which gave me a 200.00 credit. I owed a balance of $160 on the iPhone and decided to use the credit to pay off the iPhone. The following two billing cycles I saw that I was being billed for both phones so I called in. I was told by the rep that it takes 3 billing cycles for the credit to show and what I have paid so far would also go toward bill. It is now November and I was still being billed for both phones. I called again and was told that they have not yet received my iPhone. I was so frustrated that I decided to go back to my contract. Lo and behold, I see a $120.00 down payment on the Galaxy S5!!! The rep at the store located on 96th street and Broadway in the city repeatedly told me it was no money down!!! If I knew there was a down payment of $120.00, don't you think I would have made it in order to pay off the iPhone 5? I don't know where to turn!!!
