41 Topicsunable to add credit/debit card or set up auto pay
I’m a pre-paid customer. After the new My T-Mobile experience update I was instructed to re-enable auto pay. When attempting to do so on line I could not add cred/debit card nor activate auto pay. Got this message “We are unable to process this payment transaction. Please visit a Retail Store to complete this transaction” Went to two retail stores, neither had seen this before and couldn’t fix the problem while I was in store. I had to pay with cash to continue service. An engineering service ticket was submitted and I was to receive a call back the next day, two days latter no call back. Sprint sucked and apparently now T-Mobile sucks after they merged. After more than a decade of trouble free service this failure may end my use of T-Mobile. Has anyone else had to deal with this failure and if so has it been resolved for you…?7KViews9likes24CommentsHow Can T-mobile get away with Stealing & NEVER resolve issues, only promising to have a Supervisor Call back but Never Do?
Wow! T-mobile is a bunch of thieves! It seems they are known to make deals in store and sell promotional offers that never seem to translate to your bill. Then they claim those offers never existed & meanwhile you are out your equipment you previously traded & now have lost the unlimited phone plans you had been grandfathered in using for previous 7 years. Only to be unable to get any manager on the phone to return your call as promised by the reps you have repeatedly wasted HOURS with on the phone! Run don’t walk - RUN away from such unethical practices! I am no reading many similar stories here online exactly as it happened to me AFTER I’ve been with the T-mobile company for 7 years + already. My account was on a set-it and forget it but we went in to purchase new phones at Christmas. Instead of simply allowing us to buy 2 phones billed full price at $33 each per mo (to increase our bill $66 each month total) - we were up sold a whirlwind of complicated promo deals based on sales promotions pressured by the store sales reps. These new promos required adding a new line, trading in a iPhone XR, and upgrading to the Magenta MAX to receive a BOGO phone offer & receive a Samsung Galaxy phone discount (that we weren’t even really interested in along with promotional earbuds that we knew we would never use) but we were told that this was a no brainer, since tiding their special promos, our bill will increase only $53 instead of $66 as we intended but with the promos. Claiming now we would not only get the 2 phones, we’d get an extra phone and extra earbuds for even LESS than the $66 we were willing to pay full price for, after the credits were applied on the account monthly. At checkout in the store, not only were no earbuds inside our bag, we were charged for them on our first bill which had no promo credits and had increased $160 per month to $325. It doubled. This new bill drastically increased and was over $100 more than agreed, plus they turned off our Netflix & our HotSpot stopped working in this “plan upgrade!” Unfortunately I was hospitalized with Covid immediately after Christmas and the overage billing went on for months while I was unavailable to reach out and it continued to be auto-drafted from our bank just as it had on our account for 7 years, never once being late. After months of overcharges my husband tried to call on my behalf while I was still on a ventilator knowing the company was charging more than we were promised and we received far less than promised. They would not give him access to the account to discuss. After 5 months I was well enough to tend to this matter on my own & inquired why I was being over charged for both all new iPhones with no promotion credit being applied and why I was being charged for the two earbuds that were not received & my plan was increased for no benefit & I’ve now paid $500+ in overpayments! it took repeated phone calls but in June a rep was kind enough to walk through the entire mess and was aware that errors were made & promised a called back from a supervisor. One did call me back and claimed they will take care of the errors and we itemized the over charges but promised another call back 24-48 hours to determine the exact amount of the credit. I never received that call back and instead of receiving the near $600 in overpay credits, I was yet again auto-deducted for the erroneous overcharges of $325 month charge AGAIN the next month, now a total of $700 of overpayments. Once again this 2 hour phone calls wastefully took all my energy for zero delivery on promises. It was ultimately a literal waste of my breath as I meanwhile still fight through physical therapy after months living on a ventilator machine. I simply want to stop wasting my time calling T-mobile for empty promises. I called the next month again & reached another rep in July 2022 who escalated to a supervisor who called back after 24-48 hours only to advise me 7 months later that I am not eligible for any of the promotions promised. That supervisor told me those promotions didn’t even exist! Which I know is untrue because I looked them up online inside the T-mobile store at Christmas time to ensure I was not being made empty promises. These were real promotions that really existed on the website and we really complied with all the details to be eligible. I asked why I would have given them an iPhone XR then, and changed my plan from an $160 phone plan (already an unlimited plan) up to a $230 per mo phone plan only to receive ZERO phone promotions? This holds no logic. Apparently they think I just gave them a iPhone device for no reason & willy-nilly increased my plan just to also pay full price for both iPhones and pay full price for ebuds I never even received. Then was told I would have really needed to add TWO lines to be eligible for the free BOGO iPhone. Why in the world would I do that? I already have one line sitting on our account that is complete unused with ZERO DATA or zero activity used each month. This is a completely unneeded line that is so unused I don’t even know it’s phone number & have repeatedly desired to have it turned off. Yet these reps think I would agree to paying $50 per month per line x 2 to add 2 lines on our acct that we don’t use? Sure let’s add $100 wastefully onto the account per month when I could have simply bought both phones outright at full price for $33 each per month? This makes no sense. And apparently I threw in giving them an phone XR to boot, just for fun? C’mon. Finally understanding that nobody would agree to this and it’s very obvious that I was promised something different, I was adamant to speak to a supervisor that could review the previous calls to complete the promises previously made or to find my check-out paperwork that would summarize the promotions and plans that I agreed to in the store. I was promised a call back in 24-48 hours from a supervisor and still have heard nothing back. They get away with empty promises & you can not even reach these representatives back after they fail to deliver their solutions as promised since all they do is message you their contact info name “EsmileDwayneE” by text after each call, claiming you can reach them back but you absolutely can never reach them back & they also do not call you back as promised - so instead nothing gets resolved and you continue paying indefinitely a wrong overcharge amount on auto-pay. Until of course, you finally remove your account from auto-pay just as I finally had to do - in order to stop their license to steal. With T-mobile having access to draft my account on auto-pay and their ability to charge any amount they desire without upholding the promotions they promise and adding new lines that are unused, stealing old devices without any credits, and adjusting to more expensive plans - they have taken upwards of $700 too much from my account and will not follow through to rectify. My only recourse was to remove their access to auto-pay and now immediately a text comes through that my “bill has now increased an additional $25” since my $25 bill credit I’ve received for the for past 7 years, will no longer apply without auto-pay.2.8KViews12likes17CommentsAuto Pay Arrangement
Since switching to T-Mobile, I enrolled in Auto Pay to take advantage of the promotion associated with my chosen plan. Recently, I updated my debit card information in the T-Mobile app after receiving a new card. My payment due date is the 27th of each month, with Auto Pay scheduled to deduct on the 25th. However, I noticed that my payment had not been deducted as expected, so I called 611 last night. After waiting for over an hour and dialing 611 multiple times, I eventually used the app’s chat feature to request a callback. When the agent contacted me, I was informed that there was no Auto Pay arrangement on my account, despite having set it up when I first switched to T-Mobile. To avoid further stress, I asked the agent to set up Auto Pay again. My due date was the next day, the 27th. Today, I checked my account only to find a message stating that my payment was overdue, despite the agent having supposedly set up Auto Pay the previous night. Frustrated by the inability to speak directly with an agent through 611, I used the chat feature again and received another call. Once more, I was told that I didn’t have an Auto Pay arrangement, which was both infuriating and stressful. To resolve the issue quickly, I ended up paying manually and instructed them once again to set up Auto Pay. This has been an extremely frustrating experience, highlighting significant issues in your system and processes.88Views0likes0Commentswhat's up with T-mobile removing autopay discount for credit cards?
I just literally signed up for a new plan - debit cards have fees for providers too - accessing my bank account isn’t a good approach from a security perspective (noting that T-mobile has been hacked - i wouldn’t have shared this directly with T-mobile customer service but there is not email or chat and I don’t have time for phone calls Action Needed: Update your payment method to receive your AutoPay discounts ACTION NEEDED by 07/17/2023. We’re making changes to the payment methods that qualify for AutoPay discounts.

Marketing Manager allowed free reign to destroy another company?
Due to fraudulent activity on my credit card it was cancelled and reissued. Now I must change details on my T-Mobile account. BIG DEAL! T-Mobile will not allow that online and I must pay $5 to speak to a human to do that which also entails hanging on hold forever. Most companies don’t want to hear your voice and use full automation as default. I really don’t want to hear your voice either on this occasion, it is unnecessary.Solved153Views0likes2CommentsDeleting my TMobile Money Debit Card? Phone # i register with changed.

What Now?77Views0likes0CommentsSwitch and Save - Debit Card
Recently switched from Verizon to Tmobile. 5 total lines. We are waiting for the validation side of the Keep and Switch program. My question is - will the virtual pre-paid card only be used to pay back Verizon? or can I use it anywhere? so for example - Verizon charges me for the devices, they take the funds out of my account, I use the pre-paid Mastercards anywhere I like. Or do I have to use the prepaid card and contact Verizon to pay?137Views0likes1Commentsupport for auto pay
Ever since t-mobile started wanting users to pay via bank account,which I don’t want to do, t-mobile auto pay has not worked. I get harassed for being late, but my profile still says I’m set up for auto pay. I have talked with tmobile support 4 times now after trying to figure the issue out on my own didn’t work. Well, the 4th time I talked to tmobile I even had them put in a new credit card account and I get harassed for non-pay again. Anyone else suffering this pain of tmobile? I don’t think verizon or at&t would be as stupid with billing as t-mobile is. I can’t imagine I am the only person effected.Solved373Views1like5Comments
