T-Mobile Complaints Continued... (Page 9)

Getting through to anyone in the customer service is horrendous. You wait an awful long time to speak to representative and when you do you reconnected to staff who have no clues about Tmobile product. Once it’s 10pm they deliberately disconnect you despite the time spent waiting to speak to someone. I have spent hours today to get a resolution to my iPad to no avail. My iPad only works within my wifi zone in my house but once out of my house all l get is no network connection. My children have iPad but their service providers Vodaphone and orange provide them excellent service. Please give me assistance in this regard.

We have been with T-Mobile for 2 years now. Our monthly bill is about $140 a month. This past month we missed a payment and immediately our phones were shut off. When we called to make the payment we were told we owed over $800 and had to pay a minimum of $500 to get our phones turned back on. HOW does someone owe over $800 when they only missed one payment of $140? That does not make any sense. I told my cousin about it and she said they did the same exact thing to her, she is happily with Verizon now. I did some research and apparently there are a lot of people who have had this problem. We will be leaving T-Mobile as soon as possible, they are nothing but greedy a**holes! I will advise anyone who is thinking about getting a plan with this greedy company not to.

I visited this T-MOBILE store at 2900 Peachtree Road on Tuesday 4/9/2013. What happened on my end i lost my T-249 charger. I phoned T-MOBILE to find out if i could get another charger and have it added to my account or be billed. The representative told me to go to any store location and they would take care of it! I phoned the store and informed “Ryan” i needed an charger for my phone and she said the cost was $29.99. I went to the store to see if they had the charger T-249. I asked “Ryan” a Black girl did they have any T-249 charges and she said before looking or checking “No” and the young lady working with her said they did and it was red! So, i said ok and informed them about the arrangement T-MOBILE had made with me! and “Ryan” said they didn’t or had no way to put the charger on my account! I called T-MOBILE they spoke to Ryan (a black girl) and came to a conclusion that i would need to purchase it myself and T-MOBILE would credit it to my account, which i thought was alright but then i thought about and thinking i could probably get another cheaper at Radio Shack or Walmart.
Ryan at this point was unconcerned about my situation and showed no remorse as if i wasn’t suppose to be in the store with this issue anyway! She talked to her co worker the whole time i was in the store and acted as if she didn’t care what happened. T-MOBILE said they would make the agreement with me since i have been a

valuable customer for eight years (2005). Ryan had no suggestions for me and i left the store very upset! When i got home i called T-MOBILE and asked for management! I asked who she was and she said the manager “Keisha” and she said she had stepped out the store when i was there! So, i was in disbelief and thinking it was “Ryan” and/or somebody pretending to be the manager, so i told Keisha i didn’t need anything and looked for other ways to complain! So, here i am! I was so upset i forgot my sunglasses! and they were talking and ignoring the fact that i left them! Little did “Ryan” know! I ran into another customer who said they will be making a complaint as well about “Ryan”. At least that’s what her name tag said! and she was black ans petite with long weaved hair. I ended up ordering a charger from amazon for $4.00. Also, my contrat is up in August! and from my understanding was suppose to be in March! but was extended due to my lost phone and having to get a replacement. I am very disappointed that T- MOBILE hire people who don’t care about whether their customers are happy or not!

I have tried unsuccessfully for weeks to contact you regarding my phone bill last month which was £235 and a few pence. Very expensive seeings that it is normally £21.99 and I know for certain the useage was no different that month to previous months. I have written to you asking about this and eventually got to speak to a customer services man who’s manners and customer skills can only be described as appalling. I have no phone currently as I refuse to pay for a bill I know is wrong. I have had no advice or guidance and have only been told to pay it. I question anyone who would pay a bill over £200 more than they know it should be. I would like assurance you will look into this matter and contact me through the email address provided above.

After 4 years of sprint service and the same phone I decided to get a new phone htc 8x from tmobile. I went to your store #9789. I purchased the phone and was very happy with the sales people. I bought a otter box defender for maximum protection of my new phone. A week later i noticed color stripes on the phone. I took it back that day and I found out the hard way that even though i had it for a week i had to pay to get it fixed.

I explained it to them that i didnt drop it or apply physical damage. I realized at that moment ive been wronged and it is a scam what you guys are doing. There is no customer protection here. I will never ever use your service and i will make sure everyone I know on facebook, twitter, etc to not buy phones from you guys. I now owned a 400 dollar door stop. Thank you for this experience.

Hi i am contacting because i have constantly been in contact with t-mobile over varies problems the 1st is that i telephone to get the t-mobile app off my computor so that i could access my internet and it is impossible to get rid of with out having to telephone in the number is a number and i have to wait for so long it is running up my bill i am a 62 year old lady on a small state pension my last bill was 5800 plus which is much to much for me as i only keep a landline for emergencies only. 2nd I am with Sky for all my broadband needs telephone and internet.

At Christmas i had a problem with Sky on my line which Sky was putting right over the Christmas hol;iday and so icould accesses my internet i bought a t-mobile dongle and bought a sim and put money in the t-mobile pay as you go account so i could use the internet while they were repairing the problem Sky that is. 2rd t-mobile kept sending messages to the dongle sim card that could not be retrieved even though i had emailed and told them that on several occassions they still didn`t read the emails properly otherwise they would have know i couldn`t retrieve the messages.3rd i telephoned up again and again trying to get these problems sorted out but to no avail.On one occassion a young lady signed me up for a contract off which i did not agree to and since then i keep getting bills and warnings of late fees i have told i don`t know how many people at t-mobile that this has been done without my agreement and still nobody has listened.

When that young lady had done that i had 37 pounds on the t-mobile pay as you go account and suddenly that disappeared and asked me for more money of 15 pounds for a month I feel as i have been cheated out of some of that money and noone listened to about what has been going on .I had one women i believe out in India which i couldn`t understand what she was saying and she also didn`t understand what i was saying. I am at this moment still using my dongle. I do hope you can get to the bottom of all that has gone on and can send me a letter telling that the contract that was set up without my consent has been closed for good.And that money is not owed to t-mobile on that contract.

Also i would like you to look into the money that i have paid and at least make a goodwill gesture of some extra time on my dongle to use for the internet for all the trouble i have suffered with no end of emails and telephone calls trying to get this all sorted out and for that young woman signing me up for a contract that was neither needed or wanted. If this doesn`t sort it self out now i will be next contacting the trading standards people and put in a complaint i have now done more than i should have to get this straight and i will go to them if nessercary.

In october 16 – 24, 2012 varrious unauthorize electronic debits where withdraen from my bank account. When the bank statement arrived i complaint to the bank. The bank reverse the charges. Now in feb 10,2010 the bank notofty me by letter that one of the electronic
debit we charge to my account. If i still wish to dispute this i must detail with T-Mobil. I called T-Mobil the bank gave me. I gave T-mobil the Transation number and all bank information and ask why they debit my account and i dont have service with T mobil. I cant believe T-mobil dont know who account they credit with my bank account. I dont believe T -mobil condons ID Thief? You may call 310-202-8956 (9 – 4pm) PST M -F . If T mobil corp Really dosnt condon this type of profit making would be rsolve this matter.

I have been a customer of t-moblie almost since the beginning. I have given t-mobile a lot of business through telling my friends and family abot the service. However, since december, t-mobile has been charging me 168.00 a month for services. I was told by the young guy that he could lower my payments and still give me the unlimited services such as web, text etc. I am truly dissatisfied with t-mobile because nothing was said concerning an early termination fee. I am told that I owe three hundred dollars. This is not fair. I don’t think I owe anything Please help me resolve this matter.

This is regarding account # 804551646. I had a 2 year agreement which ends in March 2013. I was reviewing my account and saw that it states that my account ends in September 2013. My account was open in March 2011 so a two year agreement is the end of March 2013.

I went into the store and they had offered to change my plan from 750 mins to unlimited mins and never informed me of the extention plan. I never knew about my agreement extending 6 more months. I know that t-mobile has 2 year agreements and maybe 1 years agreements, but not 6 months agreements. Please help me with resolving this issue.

Like so many others here I called and was told I can change my contract to value plan. When I asked if I would be able to get new phones at a discounted rate, I was assured that I would be able to, when I went on line to order the phones I was being offered phones at 650 with the option to pay 200 down and 20 a month for 20 months! I called right back and told them about being misled about the phones and that I wanted to cancel my renewal(I only had 2 months left on my contract) I was told oh well your contract is renewed and there is nothing you can do about it.

I would like you to review my contract, because in december 2012 I had talked to a rep that helped me with my bill because it was too much. Since i had this problem she suggested a plan that made everything unlimited so that all 4 phones on my bill would not go over minutes. She also added that i would get january free, I asked the rep to speak to my wife before deciding on the dealand she told her the same thing. My wife asked since our contract was going to be over in march if it would effect it because we planned on changing our phones and she said it wouldnt so we agreed on the contract. When i had called back another time because I was still having issues with my bill being too big the rep told me that two more years had been added on because of the contract I recently did so it would be over til 2014. It is not right that the rep lied so that I can change my contract, I would like to get full credit to get new phones. she could have told me the truth so at that time I couldve changed the phones.

I have an identification card and I began a service with T-Mobile in 2008. Up until this year, everything has exceeded my standards. I have three lines on my account and I would like to cancel one line. T-Mobile is asking me a payment in order to cancel my line. Number One: I am using a prepaid line and the company put me in a contract. I have an I.D. but I do not have a social security number. Why did they put me in a contract, especially when I never signed any paper work accepting or acknowledging that I was or would be in a contract with them? I still am currently using three lines on my account, but I do need to cancel one line. Can you please offer me help, if not, I would like to terminate my service completely with T-Mobile. If I have ever signed any paperwork accepting a contract between myself and T-Mobile, please send me copies of those. I need a reply as soon as possible, within seven days preferably.
Thank You,
Krunal Patel

I am an adult and my boyfriend got us phones from Tmobile under the friends n family plan after i found out he had me marked as under the age of 17 i called tmobile and explained to them that i was in fact not a minor and was being tracked and located costomer service rep. said she would fix that and she wasnt aware i was an adult she said she was sorry again and again saying the problem would be fixed now i have found out not only has the problem not been fixed it has gotten extremely worse now my cell phone numbers, texts, voicemails, email, and all accounts trusted through my tmobile plan have been willingly given through tmobile to violate my civil and constitutional rights as an adult.

seven months ago i was approach by the salesperson to get a family contract , which it would benefit us because my husband travel to different countries. previously he is in monthly free paid from t mobile. which is a good idea $100. per month for three phone verses one for $50.00 per .my husband only comes home every 7months. of the year.according to t mobile my husband can use the phone where ever he goes but we find out the phone cannot be use for the of 7month because it was unlock. according to the salesperson the phone was unlocked. i have paid monthly $100.00 permonth without my husband using the phone. ill be great appreciate not to be in the contract with t mobile anymore. because the breach their contract with me. i have spoke to rebecca from t mobile about this situation.

I called both myt.mobile account and went to a T-Mobile store to try to get satisfaction over a problem with the sound coming from the receiver as being totally unintelligible, hence unusable. They didn’t even look at the phone and just said that maybe the speaker wasn’t any good and they would sell me a new phone with an upgrade. I did not want this as I had planned to cancel my service with them as soon as the contract was up. My online screen showed that the end of my contract would be fullfilled on January 24th of this year. I had determined that when it was up, I would seek a different company. I found a good offer/plan elsewhere and told them that I wanted to begin service with them on the 25th of this month. I contacted myt.mobile.com to tell them to cancel my service and was told that my contract would not be up until Septemer–9 months away and that I would be expected to honor the 9 months of fees. The rep did not listen or care what I was trying to communicate to him and treated me in a condescending manner, whereupon I received this address to voice my complaint. I am a disabled senior and am dependent upon the cell phone, as I do not have a landline. I was left with the situation of paying $48.00 a month for a phone that was unusable.

On November 9, 2012, I came into T-Mobile store 8717 in Louisville, KY. I came in for an upgrade to a newer phone. I chose the Galaxy SII. Prior to me purchasing this phone I had a blackberry than was on a single plan. I wanted the same plan when I bought the new phone. The sales person that I was dealing with had no idea how to upgrade my phone and get my current plan to work with my new phone. She did not tell me that she was giving me a family plan. I did not receive a bill for the new changes until January which showed a $95.00 increase in my bill. I went online to check out my plan and noticed another line was added. I called T-Mobile to have this plan cancelled but was told that I had to go back into the store to get the account fixed. Today, January 7th, I went into the store where I purchased the phone and they were no help. All they did was pull the contract that I signed that was not explained to me. The print is so small on this contract I can barely read it. I do have a photo copy that I would be more than happy to provide anyone reviewing this complaint. I want my plan returned back to the original plan I had before all this was messed up. I will not be paying the difference up to the $209.00 bill and if this situation is not fixed, I will be leaving T-Mobile after many, many years of being a customer. There are other cell phone services out there that want to keep their customers and will go above and beyond to fix their mistakes. The sales person that I had in your store was incompetent and didn’t ask for any help from any other sales person. She called into T-Mobile 4 different times because she didn’t know how to set up my plan. T-Mobile also has on file an address that I had back in 2005. Doesn’t seem like T-Mobile has their act together too much. I would like to have my account reviewed and given a call at 502-210-9744 or email micky8970@hotmail.com of your decision. Thank you.

My name is Franklin Morton and I was deceive about phone rates to renew a two year contract.
Last month I had went into a T-Mobile store and Quoted a rate of $45 a month this was suppose to be for as follows.
500 minutes, text messaging , for $39.99 and keep my home line for an additional $5.00 a month.
So I renewed the contract for two years.
I later learn T-Mobile Customer Service that the offer was not true.
The charges was as follows $39.99 moble line service,$15.99 text messaging and $9.95 for home line service.
This come to a total of $65.93 Plus Tax this is not the contract that I agreed to renew. One of the things that get me the
most is the store manager misleading customers to renew contract.

My bill shows a $200 termination Fee on it for phone # 253.632.3729 and I was told when i called to get me a new phone on 11.24.12 that all 3 lines are done with contract (2 years over) so I ask them what would happen if I got rid of this line and upgraded mine 253.334.3367 . They said no fee will be added.

Well they added $200 fee to my surprise when I opened the bill yesterday.

Question: why would someone want to add a large fee if they knew about it. This should of been upgraded without doing anything to my other 2 lines….

I live in Bayville NY and i have always had spotty service in my local area. Since hurricane Sandy the service has been terrible. Since the storm we must use a detour to get in and out of town, it takes about 30 minutes extra and it will be like this for about one year. We come home late over dark country roads and we lose service!!!! My wife is disabled and i am afraid that she may have car trouble sonetime and not have phone service,I have been dealing with people for three days now and they say it could take a week or more to find out whats wrong, we are senior citizens so this more a safety issue than an inconvience. at first i just wanted it fixed but after all the run around now i just want out!!!!! we are on a fixed income so i can not afford to pay a penaltyfor something that is not my fault Please contact me with help My cell number is 516 528 7669

On December 3rd, 2012 I spoke to Rep. Amber regarding the end of my old cell contract ending on December with a final payment of $49.84. After negotiations, it was agreed that my new cell plan would start on November 27th, 2012 with a monthly charge of $29.99 minus a $10.00 discount (per month) as recognition for being a loyal customer. It was understood, by both T-mobil Rep. Amber and myself, that my new cell contract would come down from the old grand total of $49.84 to the new grand total of approximately $23.71 (after discount) per month for a total contract time of 24 months. Today I received the first bill statement showing a grand total of $38.21 which doesn’t reflect neither the grand total amount I had agreed to pay back on 12/03 nor does it show the monthly $10.00 loyal customer discount. In conclusion, I did not agree to enter in another T-mobil contract for any other grand total monthly amount that exeeded the agreed amount of approximately $23.71 per month for a total of 24 months term. Today, January 3rd, 2013, I spoke to Rep. Alisa who would tell me that T-mobile isn’r able to honor my contract agreement grand total amount because my current monthly charge is of $29.99 and thus making it not eligible for a monthly $10.00 loyal customer discount resulting in a new grand total of approximately $23.71 per month for a 24 month duration. The new contract grand total doesn’t match the agreed monthly grand total discussed back on December 3rd, 2012 when I spoke to Rep.Amber and the new contract grand total was reached!! Today I got the first cell statement showing a total current charge of $38.21 instead of the agreed monthly total charge of approximately $2371.

A couple months ago, I went to T-Mobile and requested that one of the phones on my plan be reduced to minimal usage. The T-Mobile representative did so, but what they also did is NOT okay with me. They had apparently reupped my contract WITHOUT my knowledge. I only recently discovered this when I went to upgrade my phone. Because of the T-Mobile representative’s mistake, when I went to upgrade my phone, they told me I had to pay FULL PRICE for my new phone!! When I asked if I could just cancel my service, I was told that I had to pay over $400 to cancel because they had already renewed my contract with them.

I do not understand how someone could renew my contract without my consent! I fully intend to dispute all charges! And I am going to cancel any further service through T-M0bile.

On December 1st my mother Esther Zedon notified T-Mobile that she had just moved from Florida to New Jersey. She called them to change the address. A representive asked her if she would like to renew the contract, she told them she would renew. When she got off the phone and told me r T- Mobile asked her to renew the contract, I REMINDER HER, she had just lost her home and job. This is why she moved to NJ, she had to move in with me because she lost her home and job. I had her call T-Mobile back immediately, to tell them she would still keep the service, but not RENEW THE CONTRACT, as she doesn’t know if she would have the money to pay for future service because she does not have a job. She did reach a represntative immediately after the first call, and told them she would keep service but doesn’t want to be locked into a contract. A week later she receives a bill charging her $2.69 to renew the contract. I called T- Mobile and explained all that is written above; The representative I spoke with said they did receive the call 10 minutes after the first call, letting them know she did not and could not be locked into a contract becuase she doesn’t have a job. However, the representative told me it was too late because they already renewed 10 minutes earlier. New Jersey State Law give a person 3 full days to change their mind on a contract. My mother called on the same day 10 minutes later. She does not have a job and no home, she is living with me. Please send notification that you have received this email and you acknowledge she will have service but not locked into a contract.

Esther Zedon,

Your customer relations suck. After going online and seeing the number as to how to get a live person, I was elated to see I had only to go through 2 prompts. I finally thought to myself..”Yea…a real person!” However, after dialing the number, there was no prompt that allowed me to say “English.” There was only 1 that asked me if I wanted Spanish, which I didn’t, so I was silent. It was there that began the run-around….the prompt asking for my number, which was irrelevant since I had a ? that needed answering. After being frustrated a few more minutes and going through redundant propmpts, I finally got a real person! When she left the line for whatever reason I’m not sure, I was cut off and had to start all over again with your less-than-smooth procedure to get another live person. I finally reached someone with a heavy east Indian accent, I believe, and she spoke so swiftly that it was impossible for me to understand her (and I used to be a foreign language teacher and have travelled quite extensively). To her credit she slowed way down and after explaining the problem, she told me she was going to connect me to someone who could help. I had told her that I had a prepaid phone, but she connected me to the dept that was not connected (and probably not knowledgable) concerning prepaid phones. So the man in the wrong dept was very apologetic and said he would connect me with the prepaid dept. (By the way, the connection with this person was not good and I had to strain to hear what he was saying). I finally reached someone in the prepaid dept again with a foreign accent, and he directed me to go online and did direct me to the site where I could then SPEAK ONLINE WITH SOMEONE WHO WAS SUPPOSEDLY GOING TO HELP ME!!!!!
I quit….maybe this is what they wanted all along so they wouldn’t have to deal with me at all….or perhaps they didn’t have an answer to my question! Here was the situation and the question I originally was trying to get answered …

I attempted to sign up for My T-Mobile online. After asking for and entering the cell phone number, I hit the send password button, assuming I would receive an E mail telling me what that password would be, since it was an Email that they sent that I was responding to. After hitting that button, a note came up that they would be sending the password via text message. (We can’t get service in our area from T mobile or just about any other service provider and knew that when we bought it, so that isn’t the issue). All I wanted was for them to send the password by E mail, and eventually saw as I scrolled down on the page (after the button was hit) that there were blanks for entering an E mail address. However after I hit the button, the computer would not allow me to put in any info regarding that. That was when I tried to call Customer Service and what lead me to go through the circuitous unending maze that ended up with me writing this letter. What a mess! I can only hope we get decent service from our cell phone in places where it will work better than this experience that I had today. I actually feel sorry for those people who tried to help me today because you apparently have procedures/policies in place that are totally screwed up and NOT USER FRIENDLY and they must bear the brunt of the customers’ frustrations!!! I don’t believe much will be done to tell you the truth, and I truly have to laugh when I hear people say that we need to take away gov’t restrictions and give the free market reign since private enterprise and not gov’t are the problem solvers. If that’s the case, God help us!

Constance Tealey

PS Don’t bother sending me an apologetic E mail that is simply lip service and won’t end up giving any satisfaction if it is not sincere (and I doubt in any case it will be)

I started with T-Mobile over two years ago on the advise of a neighbor. We bought our phones at time of opening the service and within I believe one month, the first phone was bad. I bought a couple of more phones like the one I had ntil they “upgraded” along with a NEW two year agreement. I have gotten three more phone with one I had to pay $200.00 more for and then sent another one back with the customer service rep telling me to drop the old one in the UPS box. We did drop the phone in the box like we were told and a couple of weeks later was told that it never made it to T-Mobile so we had to pay for that one too. My son has been in the hospital three time in another state and when I tried to use my phone there it was out again. I received another new phone today with this being the second one within a month and was told that if this one doesn’t work they will send me a new one. I tried to take pictures of my grand baby’s Christmas but it broke again. I have no pics of her Christmas and to kick it even more, when I tried to take the pictures, it broke this phone too. I was told that it will cost me $200.00 more to cancel my plan. I hate T-Mobile.

I have been to the store where i bought the phone-they sales guy talked me into a AT & T phone-not knowing Tmobile doesn’t support this phone I went in the store uesterday-they checked the phone and said they can’t explain why it wont send test–sale man called his boss-and was told to tell me there is nothing they can do-since they only have a 30 day warranty-and i have had phone 2 1/2 months-said it does have factory warranty for 1 year-but they would have to send the phone back for repair-and i would loose all my contact in the phone and would not have phone until it was repaired. I have been a loyal customer of tmoible for over 6 years. this is terrible and i will blog and tell everyone i know to not use tmoible ever. If this is how customers are treated that have been loyal to this company then there is a problem. i REQUEST a call or some type of solution to this problem ASAP. In other words the people in the location just laughed and said sorry that is how it is. i WOULD LIKE THIS POSTED EVERYWHERE SO OTHERS CAN SEE HOW i HAVE BEEN TREATED. i WONT STOP HERE-i will go to the corp office ASAP

When I swithched over from my daughters plan to my own back in september 2012 I was never told I was going to be linked to a 2 year contract. I told the sales person I wanted a month to month plan. Come to find out ( december 2012) my bill is almost 100.00 a month for one line and I really dont think I should be paying that much for one line not to mention I have a 2 year contract I wasnt informed about. It also would help if the saleperson could speak good english , maybe I wouldnt be in this situation now. If I was informed of this 2 year contract back in September I would have cancelled my line all together. Know its either pay the cancelation fee of $200 make a complaint to t-mobil and see if they reverse the contract to a month to month because of there mistake or deal with what I have which is not fair. I dont know how you expcet to do business like this. My line was alot cheaper wit my daughter. On the other hand now t-mobil is still charging my daughter for the broad band that I had switch over to my line back in September 2012. We have tried calling several times about this and have complined but once again we have a sales person that doesnt speak english or doesnt understand and will not let us talk to a manager so my daughter stop paying her bill and now it will go into callection , once again t-mobil is responsible.

I am filing a complaint on my Son’s behalf. He has received a bill for service that was not used. The phone had not been in use and he is receiving a bill for service. He has been incarcerated for over 2 months and can not call T-Mobile to get this resolved. I called and asked them to give me a reason why they keep sending a bill when he has no contract. The “Customer Care” associates say they can’t help.
I understand the privacy of an account, but this bill is false. no service was provided during the time they are billing for.
I will never use T-Mobile and I will tell everyone I assocaite with that the “Customer Care” is awfull!

We went to t.mobile last week to take off two phone that havent been used for two years of this day & that we didnt want on our lines the guy tricked us into getting a family plan which we didnt want we only wanted the two phones we use.The other ones he said we had to pay until january 2013 even though we werent using them.And i told him to show me the two phones and he lied to me on the computer.And the reason i didnt the other two phones is because my daughters moved away from California and its just me and my grandaughter and i only get a check from SSI and I still have other bils to pay and if they dont fix the problem i am going to change to another company. I am a honest person so why cant t.mobile be for there customers.

So I had a G2X and dropped and the screen cracked. I had insurance and all but told I could buy and repair my phone on my own or pay $130 for them to fix it. I was going to just end my contract then but a friend had an old T-mobile phone and said add me on and we will do 1/2 bill and you can have the new phone.

I agree and call to make sure there was no problems with that and the man said no problem just use the sim in the G2X in the new phone and the sim in the new phone in his old one. Fast forward 3 days later the phone comes. I get a HTC Amaze, open it to find the plug to the wall is bad. The phone is fine and the cable charged it through my PC but I need a wall plug so I call the next day 1st to be told they don’t issue chargers.

I said I got the phone less than 24 hrs ago and you are saying a broken part is not replaced which they say no then inform me they have the wrong phone in their system… In the conversation we said the phone over 20x at least so they tell me they will transfer me to another department since it is a new phone. 15 mins later I get a new idiot… Your phone is not in our system yet so you have to wait.

I tell him the other person said it was so they tell me they can’t give me a new charger because my warranty has expired. I tell him expired on a phone I’ve had for less than 24 hours. He then says I will have to transfer you to the online sales dept. 10 mins later (and a very pissed off me) here I am at this guy who says the same crap the other ones do…expired warranty and they don’t issue replacements.

Finally I said screw it I want to just cancel my service. I would gladly pay early termination than to put up with the most unprofessional idiots I have EVER dealt with. Another transfer…I try to cancel service to be told they wont do it until the phone is returned to them and the guy basically said I was stupid (until I called T-mobile the shittiest bunch of idiots I have ever talked to) Kinda added surprised they know how to even turn on the PC they use to screw ppl over with but someone probably turns it on for them…

In closing DO NOT GET T-MOBILE AS A CARRIER!!!! You will regret it. My friend had trouble that is why he had a phone and he is laughing atm saying see told you they are idiots.

Thanks for this opportunity to aire a complaint. I’ve written two letters two T-Mobile’s main office, no results. The nasty service customers receive when dealing with csrs must be a reflection of the upper echelon. They simply don’t give a damn about consumers, and probably resent the need to deal with us.

I’ve written two letters about my experience with no results. My first letter was mailed Jan 27, 2013. My complaint must be limited to an experience at a Scottsdale, AZ T Mobile shop which is located on McDowell St. near Hayden.

My complaint had to do with rotten service at the above mentioned TMobile outlet. One csr was teaching a customer a language, but at the same time she–the csr–claimed she did not know the language and needed to interrupt another busy csr who had a vague idea, but claimed that he, also, wasn’t sure of how the language was to be used..

This farce went on for upwards of 45 minutes, and even the woman asking for help got irritated and–at the request of her companion–the customer begged to leave the store. As all of this was going on, other customers waited in line. Eventually, the csr who knew something about languages finished and began serving customers, and at this point the one allegedly teaching a language began wandering around the shop.

Went to local store in Glendale, Arizona and as I approached the counter the male csr kicked the female csr in the but as she was walking to the back room. This female csr fell to the ground and when she got up she was obviously embarrased and looked around the store to see if anyone saw what happened. I immediately left the store and called a manager who asked if I called the police. “Really”!!!! How about you the manager investigate the situation and put a stop to unprofessionalism, employee abuse, females being harassed by male employees. This is despicable behavior. The Tmobile manager could care less what happened. He wanted me the customer to fix this situation. Unbelievable.

Tmobile is too expensive and despite the above situation their customer service was already deplorable. Very unsatisfied customer. I tell everyone not to get Tmobile and I always mention this incident. I am shocked that this kind of shit still goes on in the workplace. A place like this should have things in place so as to not harm their employees or csr reps while customers are in plain view, it just reflects so poorly for the business and it’s customers!

I have joined t mobile 3 days ago and until today I can’t use the phone but I am charged for the service. The problem that they are heaving is an error message in their system that they are getting in preventing them to port my Verizon phone number that I have used for business for years. Now I’m paying for two services and risking to loose my number. Is there a state regulated law that could help me? T mobile customer service people just want to get me off the phone saying it is done but I still don’t have my number ported so I’m paying two bills for services that I don’t need. Loosing my number would cost me a fortune.

T-Mobile has given a third party collection agency information regarding me having a $2,000.00 cell phone bill. I have never in my life had a T-Mobile account. I submitted a letter to the company (MCM) and contacted T-Mobile Fraud Department. I was then REDIRECTED back to MCM, which doesn’t make any sense. MCM is representing T-Mobile with information given to them. It was last told to me that my last address they have on file is in Texas, which is a state I have never lived in my entire life. This company is pathetic and after reading all the consumer complaints I can’t believe they are still getting customers and not investigated by a governing body.

I cancelled my T Mobile service two days into my billing cycle after being with them for nearly 10 years. I was informed by a CSR that my final bill would be prorated but once I received it in the mail, it was not. I contacted customer service to try and fix the bill and they refused. They were rude and told me that T Mobile does not prorate bills. I asked to speak to management and she gave me the same story even though the previous CSR told me that it would. I contacted several local TMobile stores, one of which I purchased my service from and they all told me that TMobile should have prorated my bill.

I called customer service back and I was informed that the stores don’t know what they are talking about because they don’t handle billing. Aren’t the stores representative of TMobile? Aren’t they owned or authorized by Tmobile? Why wouldn’t know what’s going on with TMobile? I am being charged for a service that was not even activated. I have been lied and cheated and I am upset about it.

I had called Tmobile approx 3 weeks before i canceled acct to see what the charges were to terminate my acct & was informed by rep $100 (it would be partial credited because i was a customer for …)..When I Received bill they charged $200… I also asked why i was charged a full month of service when the acct canceled. 1st rep informed me she was going to put thru a credit for the monthly charges to only the 3 days that were used. 2nd rep told me no credits would be going thru because they charge you for a full month if you take your phone # to another carrier.I requested to speak w/ a manager Not one of these incorrectly labeled “CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES” could get that task done.

I was told would be transferred to Manager as they put me back on hold for 22 minutes now hearing the recording another CSR REP would answer NOT MANAGER> Called again and spoke w/another rep, I was told manager would call back, its been 4 days now. NO REPLY!!! But then Tmobile called my house this morning I thought I was speaking w/the manager getting exhausted from explaining the situation for the 6th time. She informed me she was calling from Tmobile FINANCIAL DEPT + could offer no help at all w/the bullshit I have been falsley given>

To whom it may concern: I have been a T-Mobile customer for quite sometime now, yet your organization is quickly loosing the luster and my tolerance for your lack of customer satisfaction is at it’s end. My consideration for changing companies is become more than just a passing thought but a true concern. My current attitude towards T-Mobile is not based on just one incident but on a number of incidents that I personally feel should have never happened or been explained to my satisfaction beforehand.

Frankly, I am a business man of over 20 years, yet the treatment that I have received in the last 3 months has been more like doing business with the mob instead of with a business that cares for and appreciates their clients. I am not new to the mobile communication industry, my mobile device has been and will be a key part of my business for years to come. Now, the question is will it be with T-Mobile? That is the true question.

Issue #1
When I first migrated my telephone number from the account it was on, I was very upset with how it was handled. I called in to migrate the number and take responsibility for it. I provided all required information to the person that handled my call. Of course I was approved and the process continued, here is where the unprofessionalism took place. I asked the gentleman if I had a “period of time to change my mind”? At that time, he told me that I was locked into a 2 year agreement with T-Mobile. This was told to me after he had ported the number to the new account, not before the process was completed. I then asked him if I could cancel and consider my other options. He then informed me that I would be charged a cancellation fee for doing such. Seriously!!!????

My next question was, do I get anything out of this since I am locked in to a 2 year agreement that I did not agree too, like a new telephone or something? Again I was told “NO”. His reasoning behind this was “the person whom owned the account prior to me porting my number had made changes to their account and decided to stay with T-Mobile, so since they stayed with T-Mobile and extended their contract that effected me.” This is an unfair business act. Now that I have responsibility for my number, how can their actions effect me? If I don’t pay my bill you don’t cut off their service and vice versa. I did not have 2 years left on the contract I was on with you. I later learned that they did receive a new mobile device for continuing their contract. I was offered nothing. Not even a tissue.

So now, I have a 2 year agreement, without asking me if I wanted this, your customer service representative committed me to over $2400 over 2 years period without asking me if I wanted this or not. He committed me on an implication that I knew what the prior account owner had did on their contract and that I was okay with their actions and his. My feelings behind this action, T-Mobile is telling me to take what we allow or else. News Flash, there are toooooooo many other options out here to be treated like that by anyone that I am paying. I do not feel that you have the clients best interest in mind if this is your normal way of doing thing. I stay with T-Mobile, because your services does work in areas that some of your competition does not work in and my mobile communications are very necessary for me and what I do, I am an international entertainer.

How could this situation been better handled:
1. Ask me if I know the facts
2. Offer me something for my commitment
3. Suggest other options
4. Confirm the transaction and it’s terms before it is concluded

Issue #2
I recently went to German to entertain the troops. This was a longtime dream for me that finally came true. Well, as part of my preparation for this journey, I called T-Mobile (well in advance of my departure) and asked if there was an International Plan that I could add to my telephone so that I could use my device while I was overseas.

The representative told me that there was and I authorized them to add this to my plan so that I could receive calls, make calls and send and receive text messages. Guess what? My mobile device did not work in Germany or Holland. I was unable to communicate with anyone while I was there. Your representative failed to tell me how to change my telephone configuration to enable me to use my device. I missed 3 paying gigs because the people that were trying to contact me could not communicate with me in a timely fashion. This was over $2000 in potential income, because your “professional customer service representative” did not inform me properly on the changes that I needed to make to my device to ensure that it will work.

Now here is the kicker. I called today to see if the International Feature was still on my mobile device and I was informed that it was never added. Now ain’t that special?!? If I am dealing with a company that has my best interest in mind, why would I even think twice that this was not done as agreed? Why should I have to double check with you to ensure that your company is doing what I paid you for?

How could this situation been better handled?
1. Customer Service Representative made sure the order went through properly.
2. The Customer Service Representative could have informed me that I needed to make changes to my current device configuration to ensure that my unit would work properly.
3. A text message to very that the changes were made.

Issue #3

I called today to inquire about your current rate plan and I was informed in order to receive the reduced rate I would have to pay $200 to migrate to the lower plan. Are you serious? I think I have found Jimmy Hoffa….he is the president of T-Mobile. This is outrageous and unfair to a longtime client. Then your representative had the nerve to say to me “if you are not interested in talking about giving up your discount on telephones in the future, there is nothing to talk about”. Really, this is how you talk to clients now? This is how your company really feels. I understand getting people on and off the telephone as fast as possible, but this is ridiculous. But wait, there is more. You know what, I am not even going to go into it.

Bottom line is this. I appreciate T-Mobile, but I do not feel or believe that you appreciate your clients or realize that you are not the only game in town. At this time, I am considering leaving your company and going to Sprint. Yes, I realize that there is a $200 per line cancellation fee to leave, but it is almost worth it. I also realize that I would have to buy new mobile devices (which was something T-Mobile never offered me), but again, that maybe worth it as well. I hated Sprint, that is one reason I left them and came to T-Mobile, but your customer service is almost if not as bad as theirs was before they cleaned up their act.

I understand that I am one voice, but from my years as a customer service professional in the business world, I have learned this. “If one person is willing to say it, just how many do you think are thinking it?” Yeah, it has taken me a while to write this letter, because I am a busy man, but there comes a time when you have to stop what you are doing and address a situation. This is that time.

I pray that these words do not fall on deaf ears. At this time, I have not incorporated these events into my act, yet, I have strongly considered them. Actually, it is not a laughing matter, but I can make it one to thousands really quick. No, this is not a threat, I don’t do that, I am stating the obvious, we as comedians tend to take things that bother us to the stage and believe me this is getting under my skin.

What are my resolutions to these issues:
1. I believe T-Mobile should have taken my concerns more serious instead of fanning me off like a fly on buttermilk.
2. I believe that I should have been offered a discount off my services or free services for a period of time.
3. I believe that I should have been offered a new device or discounted device or my choice.
4. I believe that I should have received an apology from T-Mobile.
5. I believe that your policies and services should have been represented better and explained in detail before we completed any transactions.

I “Thank You” for taking the time to read my letter and considering my position.

A Very Unhappy Camper……

Do not even think about buying a phone or service from them !!!!! – Unfriendly and incompetent. Back in the days when they tried to established themselves in the US they had good service. Now the company was sold and the service got ridiculous. My SIM Card is suddenly not working anymore and I am outside the US on a business trip. This is of course a big problem if you are depending on your phone. First they tried to charge me $ 22 for a new SIM card and on top they only ship to US destinations, all other shipping charges I shall pay. I ask why ? My argument is simply that I am using this phone internationally and they make money of me too.

Fact is, they make money of me paying for expensive overcharged international phone calls. So, why would they not ship a SIM card to an international location (Bahamas) if they make money of me using the phone internationally? Anyhow, the T-Mobile customer service and supervisor were ridiculous. My monthly bill is always over US $ 150+. I was a loyal customer for over 8 years, spent well over US $10.000 on their service and now this. I am not wasting my time if they don’t understand how to take care of a customer. (Just because they tried to save $ 25 on UPS’s additional shipping cost. That’s it !. – Never ever again – TMOBILE.

We have been Tmobile customers for over 12 years since it was omni point than voice stream and finally Tmobile. We have 7 lines total with them therefore we had to split to two accounts two years ago. We have missed the payment on the old account, which resulted in lines disconnection. We have noticed immediately and made the payment. The following bill cycle they charged the account $20 each line for service restoration. When called to complaint one customer service agent did not care and said noting can be done. Called second time to cancel three lines on one of the account that I know that are out of contract but the customer service agent offered me a credit for the $60 charge but to extend the account to two (2) years contract.

When I refused they said ok we noted the account that you will disconnect three line thank you and have a nice day.

I ordered t-mobile’s cell service with the understanding that in my state (GA) I have 21 days to decide before committing myself to a contract. It was almost immediately obvious upon receiving the phone that their service was not suitable for my needs (rural area). I called, got permission to return the phone, they acknowledged receipt of the phone a few days later, and then I got a bill for $77 (!), which I graciously and quite generously did pay. Now it’s the following month and these morons have sent me *another* bill, for nearly $100! For a phone I do not have, and already paid $77 for the privilege of using for three days.

Just try to contact T-mobile customer “service” when you don’t have a T-mobile phone — unless you have hours of free time to burn, you cannot. There is no email address. They do have a snail mail address. I am preparing a bill to present to them via
snail mail, the bill is for my services as a billing consultant. My rate is $15k per hour, and payment is due withing 5 days of services rendered. I can play this game too, bitches!

I got an Sony Eriksson Equinox after being with TMobile 7 years. They told me 3 x to buy the wrong memory card. It would not snap in so I took it to a cellurar company because the TMobile store is an hour drive on the freeway. They couldn’t make it stay in either. So they sent me another phone and it did not work on it either. Then they figure out it is the wrong card. I had bought it on Amazon because theirs is $50.00. Now I can’t get my money back and I have to buy theirs for $50.00. As soon as I began using the phone it had software problems.

I had it less than a month so they wanted me to take a reconditioned one and I refused. I get their bill and now I am signed up for GPS and something else that I nev er signed up for. I cut off their internet. 6 month went by and I called 611 their customer service number and would have to wait up to 2 hours on hold and talke to TMobile from some other country. I only use my cell phone. One day my battery went dead after 2 hours on hold and I used their internet phone to call 611 and got through in five minutes. It was the cell phone all along.

Now I get another equinox and it does the same thing only worse. Two phones can’t do this so they check their end, nothing wrong, and twenty calls later it might be the newer sim cards. Meanwhile while I am calling them they try to sell me things includind extending my contract. The sim card is not here yet. I can’t wait to see if this fixes it because we ran out of options and I refuse a different phone that would extend my contract and make me buy more music and another memory card. I hate them.

Six months ago our cell accounts were debited by T Mobile without our knowledge, when we made an enquiry about several amounts going off MTN told us that T Mobile was the company but they could not do anything and that T Mobile would have to stop the debits. After several complaints to MTN they have done absolutely zilch and less about T Mobile randomly deciding to take money from us. Even after complaining to their Head Office they simply could not care, yes the amounts were small but continuous. MTN was assisting ***** and no one seemed to know what was going on let alone actually lift a finger to acknowledge or respond to many calls and messages.

We would like someone to actually give a **** about their customers.

i have tried to order new phones from tmobile online well it has been one week and double the original cost and i still do not have new phones and i am $300.00 dollars poorer and over drawn in the bank. i spent 3 hours on the phone with thier customer service department and the only answer i got was well we r so sorry for the inconveince but there is nothing we can do. they said i could reorder and i could get them by tuesday well wth if they can get them here then why not now? also tmobile can sure get the money as soon as you give them your number but it takes 7 to 10 days to put it back what r they pulling not be very profetional if you ask me. I AM DONE

t mobile rep lied to me after assuring me i was gonna pay a surtain price and he lied to me and not to mention the representive on the phone was very rude and hung up on me. and also i had prepaid for years with a number i used for about four years since i lost my phone they told me i maybe could get back my number i miss my number i had it for years and they took it i hate t mobile!

Daughter going to China for 2 weeks so we called to have her T-Mobile cell unlocked as she is young, blonde, etc and could be a target if anything, Gd forbid, were to happen. Anyway we get this reponse (please note it is 2 days past the due date and around 100 USD – and we have never NOT paid a bill) The problem is, it takes up to 72 hours to unlock the sim and she is leaving Tuesday. Payments wont post for 24 hours so who knows what will happen? Below is the correspondence I have gotten with T-Mobile regarding this customer service problem. This is dangerous service for T-Mobile.

Thank You,

Sim Unlock Department
T-Mobile USA, Inc.

I sent this:

Wow really Tmobile? So you will let a young girl out of highschool go on a trip to China without a phone to contact her parents or the USA if something goes wrong??? Are you kidding?? Just bc her parents have a small past due amount and we have been customers for what, 8-9 years or more?? This is why we are switching companies at the end of the summer, along with everyone else who hates your new merger. This is absolutely DANGEROUS to not allow an unlock on a phone for a young lady traveling alone to a communist country, AND TMOBILE if anything happens BLOOD will be on YOUR HANDS. I am forwarding this to all cell companies, pr companies, television, radio, mothers groups etc.

YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED. You are disgusting TMOBILE – Ever heard of Natalie Holloway??? Have fun thinking of all the death you could be causing.

I ordered a NOKIA 2330 Mobile phone  and the order is not yet shipped till today. When I talk with the T-Mobile customer service on phone, they keep saying that they had to close their warehouse due to severe cold and snow. I couldn’t find any news of such closure anywhere in US through Google. I am still not sure if I will get my phone – it is just a common model and should be readily available. I think T-mobile always has this issue for online orders. My advice to others is to always buy directly from a store if you are buying t-mobile.

I ordered additional minutes on my T-Mobile pre-paid phone using my Visa card. T-Mobile illegally took the payment out of my bank account. That is fraud. If I hadn’t had sufficient funds in the bank account, I could have been charged a fee for bank overdraft. After trying a couple of hours on the phone with T-Mobile and being transferred at least 6 times, I was basically told to stick it. In addition, T-Mobile offers an additional 10% of minutes for a $100 order. Additional minutes did not appear this time or the last time I ordered. Representative “explained” that the 10% was included in the 1000 minutes ordered. Again, fraud. Filing a legal complaint with the Colorado State Attorney General office and the Better Business Bureau.

I changed from Sprint to T Mobile simply because i needed to build my credit up in the US being from South Africa. I was on my son’s Sprint acc. & was advised by an authorized dealer, VENACOM, that this would be a good way to start to build my credit!! HOWEVER, from the day i signed on in October, 2010, its been nothing but a giant headache. I was promised 5 lines, then told no only 3. I was given a plan of $150 unltd msg & 3,000 mins. My bill is over $220 every month because even though i blocked 411 calls, they keep charging me when i dont even make them. On the ODD occasion my son will make the FREE-411, but was advised by T Mobile customer care that they “still charge!!!”

Between Venacom, T Mobile’s “authorized” dealer & TMobile i feel like this is a sham & a total rip off. I cant even get hold of “customer service”. Ive tried 4 times the past 9 days for up to an hour & 10 mins & STILL dont get hold of anyone because i have to end the call!!!

They charge me overage when there shouldnt be. They are charging me $20pm for messaging that is supposed to be built INTO my $150 plan. 800 nos are not free. T Mobile still charge for them. They charged for shipping when they said i would not need to pay since the “free” ph was useless & returned it after 1 week & they had the nerve to try to just slip it in there.

I am sitting right now whilst typing this to be attended to & we’re going onto 22 mins already, taking up my whole lunch hour & then have to end the call after waiting an HOUR!!!!

I have had a poor signal for weeks so I approached T-mobile. In the first week, customer services told me a transmitter was down and would be back up in 24 hours. When I spoke to the T-mobile engineer, he told me there were no transmitter problems in the area. I complained again and was contacted by T-mobile customer services. The young lady was very good and did try to help. What a load of nonsense!!! So I asked if I could terminate my contract as the ‘service is not fit for purpose’. Nope – because I do occasionally get a signal. IF T-Mobile can blame the weather, then they should offer a ‘summer only’ option. Excuses gone mad – crazy!!
