No heart company?
I and my wife are 79 years old and living off of social security. In addition, I am physically handicapped and my wife is a believer-in-people but not very smart or cautious. In December, she went to Walmart and talked to the T-Mobile department there and she was told that she could get a better phone without any cost and she bought into it. She had a Samsung Galaxy 15 phone, which she turned in and got a Motorola in the exchange. The Motorola is a piece of s*** phone (compared with the Samsung) and my wife had a lot of problems with it and decided to return it and get the Samsung back. She was told she could not get her phone back. I then gt involved and made a lot of phone calls during the next 2 weeks and in January, I found another special where she could get another Samsung Galaxy A15 at no cost and we took that deal. My wife went to a T-Mobile store (not at Walmart) and talked to a supervisor there to get her Samsung working well. She asked the Supervisor about the Motorola (and what to do about it) ad he said "give it or throw it away". Now 5 months later, I have moved to another company that has offered us a deal at 50% less per month and we moved. I was told that to move, I had to pay off what was still owed on the Samsung phone (due to the fact it was a 1-year deal) and I paid for that ($75). Nonetheless, I was also told that I would have to ultimately pay for the Motorola phone as well and that would be $140 more. I called customer service and ultimately talked to a supervisor that gave me all the "legal" mumbo jumbo, which meant that my wife was responsible for this and that there was nothing they could do. To begin with, my wife was "scammed" into getting a worse phone and she suffered greatly for 2 weeks. She was then told by a T-Mobile supervisor that she could do whatever she wanted with the Motorola as it was hers and free. The Motorola has not been used at all since January and doesn't eve have a line to it. I begged the supervisor to make an exception as the $140 means nothing to the company, but to us it means food for 2 weeks. The T-Mobile supervisor said "Your wife's fault, live with it" T-Mobile shows no heart at all. I am glad I left but I still have the problem of how to pay for something I have no use for, is costing us money we don't have, and was originally sold to my wife by lying to her.77Views0likes1Comment
