Lied to about promotion
On December 4, 2022, I went tomy local T-mobile store looking for promotion deals to see if I could get a trade-in upgrade for my wife’s phone. After talking to one of the employees about their current deals, they employee promised me that if I switchfrom my current plan Magenta to Magenta MAX that I would get a $800 trade-in credit towards an Iphone 14. I told her it is a great dealand was baited into switching my phone plan. She made the switch official that day (Dec 4, 2022) and told me to come back on December 6, 2022 to make the trade-inbecause the plan swapwouldnot be effective until then. When I arrived 2 days later on the 6th, I was told that there were no such deal by another employee and the current plan they currently offer is a $400 trade-in credit. Long story short, I end up reverting my plan back to Magenta and was charged for the Magenta MAX plan although I only had it for 2 days. Next time before making a switch, I would ask for a written contract. This is absolutely unacceptance and no one should be charged $40 more due to incompetent employees/false promotions.
Lied to and billed for a phone that I was offered for free
I have been a good reliable Tmobil customer for over 4years. I have multiple lines on my plan and I’ve never missed a payment. I ordered and paid for a new phone just before Xmas 2021. The phone was never delivered. I called to ask where my phone was and was told they couldn’t find the phone and had to investigate. A rep was supposed to call me back. By the second week of Jan. the issue still wasn’t resolved and I did not receive a phone yet. Tmobil was still unable to give me a clear answer on what happened or when I’d receive myphone. I was upset and called backon Jan. 7th to close my account. The operator was distressed and saidshe could not lose me as a customer. She asked if a free phone would get me to stay. I agreed and signed the paperwork for a new phone. I received the phone within 1-2 days and all was well until I got my next bill and saw that I was being billed for the phone. I called customer support several more times trying to resolve the issue. By early March my frustration level was through the roof. I’ve made so many calls and wasted so much of my time. I called to cancel my account and was told that if I left, I would still owe for the balance on the phone. I said I’d send it back but the rep said too much time has passed. I asked to speak with a supervisor. I was given to James rep# 9991310431 who insinuated that all along this was just a scheme I hatched to demand a phone. That whatever happened between me and the service rep on Jan. 7th was my fault and that I agreed to pay for a new phone. I asked him to listen to the recorded call, he said he did and that I agreed to buy a phone. I know that’s not true so I asked James to let me listen, he said that wasn’t possible. I asked if somebody else at Tmobil could listen to the call. He said he was the highest level of authority I would be able to reach and that nobody else at Tmobil would bother to waste their time listening to that call. I asked James for the number to customer relations, he said that Tmobil (a giant phone company) doesn’t have a phone at customer relations and that I’d have to write them a letter. If I want to speak with somebody else, I will have to wait 72 hours for somebody to call me back. This all seems crazy to me. I’m a working father of three children with a life, I don’t have time for all this and I’m not just going to be bullied into paying $1000 for a phone I was told would be free. I want my money back and I want to take my families business elsewhere. I can’t believe that there’s no way to contact anyone at Tmobil with the authority to assist a very displeased customer besides James, who has insulted me multiple times now. If you are reading this and you are on the fence about using Tmobil as a carrier, this will be your reality if you ever need customer service. I don’t recollect ever calling for help with anything else in all my time with this company.The one time I need help due to unusual circumstances that were no fault of mine, I’ve been lied to, scammed, hassled, bullied, insulted, stressedand have had hours and hours of my time wasted.
T-Mobile only cares about new customers
I’ve been a customer for nearly 25 years and that kind of loyalty is rewarded with NOTHING! They could care less about existing customers. They wanted $600 down on IPhone 16 Pro Max even with a trade in. That’s why I’m leaving for AT&T who offered the same iPhone 16 Pro Max PLUS the latest iPad Pro (13 inch) both with 512GB storage and both with no money down.
Misleading T-Mobile Offer Resulted in Higher Monthly Bill and Unwanted Lines
Two months ago, I had 9 lines on my T-Mobile account, and on August 24, 2024, I reached out to chat support to remove one line. At the time, I mentioned to the agent that I had two additional lines that might join the account if there were any suitable deals or offers available. My bill for 9 lines was $245, and I emphasized that I didn't want to increase my monthly bill. The agent informed me about a "buy one, get one free" offer, explaining that if I removed one line and added the two new lines, my bill would remain the same at $245. This offer made it financially feasible for me, so I proceeded with the changes based on the agent’s assurance that my monthly payment wouldn't increase. However, the following month, I discovered that my bill was $280, not $245 as the agent had promised. I verified this with a copy of the chat, proving that the agent had misrepresented the offer and the final cost. I then visited T-Mobile support four or five times to resolve this issue, but each time, they apologized for the “miscalculation” yet insisted the bill would stay at $280 for 10 lines, leaving me with two extra lines and an additional $35 on my monthly bill. If the agent had disclosed that the final cost would be $280, I would not have added the two lines. This misrepresentation effectively scammed me into increasing my plan, resulting in an unwanted burden.
How to get a hold of Spam department
I would like to get a hold of the T-Mobil spam department and not go through customer service. T-Mobil’s customer support via a phone call isn’t helpful when T-Mobil has internally blocked your number from sending text messages. They try to go through their checklist to fix things on my device when my device isn’t the issue. I send up to 200+ messages very quickly with the same or similar messages to friends and family each Holiday. T-Mobile ends up blocking my number from sending text messages. So I can receive text messages, but I can’t send them unless it is to internal T-Mobil numbers like 1112. This makes it very difficult to get any work done if I need to text someone who has text me. T-Mobil engineering department that configures Spam block has their settings creating false/positives. A number shouldn’t be blocked for sending up to 200+ messages quickly over 7-8 days per year (Holidays). I am told it will be blocked for up to 10 days with me currently on the 5th day. I would understand if I did this everyday or even multiple times per week, but blasting out 200+ message on Holidays 7-8 times per year and getting your number blocked is very annoying. Annoying enough now that I am considering using another service provider even with me being with T-Mobil for the past 24+ years (same number). It would be great if T-Mobil created a web link on your account to request unblocking your number with the ability to provide an explanation. It would be even better if the engineers came up with better rules to actually block people that are spamming instead of creating false positives disrupting paying customers.Worst customer service
Tmobile became the worst customer service carrier since they became TMobile USA. The original TMobile customer service was not bad at all. The TMobile USA has the worst, I mean, the worst of all customer service of all any other carriers. Once you ported your numbers out of TMobile, that’s it, they don’t want to help you. They find all kinds of excuses not being able to help you. They keep telling you to call this and that, and when you call them, they told you to go to Store, etc. they keep bouncing you around until you give up calling or inquiring. Plus once your service is not with TMobile any longer, you loose the online access to billing in order to update the billing address for the credit proration. I don’t know why people keep switching over to TMOBILE?My account was deleted.
My account was deleted, while im deployed in the middle east, for seemingly no reason.I cannot make phone calls.I cannot show up to a store with my ID to make a new account. For some reason T mobile does not have a support email. How do i fix this? Or has T-mobile decided to cut my cell service with no way to fix it for absolutely no reason?
