Disable personal hotspot on iPhone
I am looking to remove the personal hotspot feature on my child’s phone. There is a setting on the phone to turn it off but he can just turn it back on and use it whenever. When we had Verizon we called and they placed a block that didn’t allow him to even see it in settings. I tried calling T-Mobile support but they said that can’t do it. Can we do the same thing with T-Mobile?
Free Amazon Fire TV if you purchase internet
I switched my internet services from Xfinity to T-Mobile to streamline everything into one plan. During my research, I discovered that T-Mobile was offering promotions for switching and enrolling in auto-pay, which I found appealing. I opted for the Free Amazon Fire TV 2 series promotion, understanding that to qualify, I had to remain a customer for at least 60 days and submit my documents within 30 days. I met all these requirements. On March 17, 2025, I received an email from T-Mobile stating it was time to redeem my offer. I meticulously followed every step detailed in the email. Two critical instructions were to click on the pink "Redeem Now" button to access the proper Amazon site and to complete my order without leaving the checkout page, or else my promo code would expire. I entered the promotion code as instructed, but received an error message stating it was not valid. I did not navigate away from the page at any point. At 10:30 AM, I called T-Mobile for assistance. They instructed me to try entering the code without dashes, which did not work. T-Mobile's response was frustratingly inadequate; they told me to call Amazon, claiming they were responsible for the promotional codes. I was then given Amazon's phone number, which began a frustrating cycle. Connecting with a human representative at Amazon was nearly impossible, akin to searching for the fountain of youth. When I finally reached someone, they directed me back to T-Mobile. I called T-Mobile again, but was sent back to Amazon. During this process, three representatives hung up on me while attempting to assist, leaving me without clear answers. I decided to try Amazon's chat support, but after speaking to three different agents, each one transferred me to another without notice, forcing me to repeat my issue continually. I called T-Mobile again, and an agent transferred me to tech support without warning. Fortunately, Jennifer in tech support was the only one who truly attempted to help and went above and beyond to find a resolution. Unfortunately, she informed me that her managers insisted I contact Amazon once more. She assured me she would call back on March 18, 2025, to continue working on a solution. This entire ordeal lasted from 10:30 AM until 1:30 PM, entirely due to the lack of training and knowledge among representatives from both T-Mobile and Amazon regarding their promotions and procedures. Additionally, the language barrier with Amazon's chat and phone representatives made this situation even more challenging. While I respect their work, it was frustrating to resolve such a straightforward issue. At this stage, I expect a resolution with Jennifer's help, as Amazon has shown little willingness to assist, merely stating they would escalate the matter without ensuring follow-up. If I do not get a satisfactory resolution, I will switch services and avoid Amazon in the future. This is not about impacting their business; it’s about demanding the level of care and gratitude a customer deserves. This is all after dealing with at least 12 CS reps with 3 hanging up when I was put on hold. Unacceptable
Bait and switch
We went to our local T-Mobile store to check on the "$1000 rebate on S25". We were on a $120 a month for four lines plan, and were told it didn't qualify. As we were leaving an employee told us that he "found a plan that works"-the Go G5 55 plan for $120 for four lines (my wife and I are over 55 so we qualified). He also promised that it qualified for the $1000 per phone discount. It required sending in the phones by 3/3/25. My wife wanted to wait for the bill to be certain, but that would mean we lost the discount, so we sent them. We received the first bill today and it's for $180 a month, only $500 rebate per phone (nothing to do with quality of the returns-they are prefect but still being examined). This plan only qualifies for half. We were also offered the "Go G5 Plus 55" for $220 a month for $1000 a phone, both "offers" FAR more than the originally stated contract. We even had it "guaranteed" a second time after my wife got paranoid and called T-Mobile's customer service and "Adrian" told us that the plan MIGHT not qualify, so he suggested we return to the store. We did so, and the employee "went in the back room to talk to his regional manager" for about 20 minutes, then came out and ASSURED us that the plan DID qualify, was $120 A MONTH and $1000 rebate per phone. This is a PURE "bait and switch". We can't just go back to our old plan because now our phones are gone and T-Mobile refuses to return them. We are now stuck paying about $100 more a month when we NEVER would have upgraded the phones under that set of circumstances. As far as I can tell, this violates the Federal FTC Act as well as three CA laws: The FTC has issued a Notice that it has determined that bait and switch sales practices are unfair or deceptive trade practices, and violate the FTC Act. CA state Business and Professions Code (B&P) Section 17500: This section prohibits unfair, deceptive, or fraudulent business practices, which includes bait-and-switch tactics. California Code of Regulations, Title 4, Division 3, Article 10, False or Misleading Advertising: This section specifically addresses bait-and-switch advertising. Cal. Code Regs. . 4, § 1304.1 - Bait and Switch Advertising: This regulation outlines the specifics of unlawful bait-and-switch practices. T-Mobile REFUSED to escalate me to a manager and only gave me a PO box for their legal department. This is a HORRIBLE way to do business. it is illegal, likely criminal, and you have pissed me off enough that I now have reported it to the FTC, the FCC, and the CA State AG's office. I also know several DDAs at the Alameda County DA's office who are being consulted.
Intermittent issues for 7 months!
I am writing to formally raise a concern regarding a prolonged and unresolved service issue that significantly impacted my ability to use my service for its intended purposes. Since October 2024, I had experienced intermittent issues with making and receiving calls. Over the course, I contacted both Apple and T-Mobile multiple times to sea a resolution even went so far as to upgrade my phone at my own expense, under the assumption that the deice itself might be the cause of the issue. Unfortunately, despite numerous conversations over phone, chat and in person visits to T-Mobile stores, not one was able to provide a solution. After conducting my own expensive research, I discovered that a "family Allowance feature had been active on my account, limiting me to only 60 minutes of call time per month. This restricting was never disclosed to me, and it appears to be the root cause of my connectivity issues. it is deeply concerning that after months of reaching out for support not a single T-Mobile representative was able to identify this. As a result of this oversight, I missed numerous important calls- including work-related communications, and personal calls involving family. This has cause significant inconveniences, stress and potential financial harm due to lost opportunities. Given the severity of this situation and the duration over which it persisted without resolution, I believe i am entitles to a substantial reimbursement for the disruption and costs incurred, including the unnecessary phone upgrade and loss of service functionality for several month. I kindly request that my account be reviews, investigate the details and provide a fair and appropriate resolution as soon a possible.
