Paying for service and recieving None

I've had TMobile wireless for over a year now and the service is a JOKE. I'm so fed up at this point as you can tell by my username but needed to share my experience with other customers and people considering signing up for TMobile.

When I first signed up in store for 2 wireless lines and got the 3rd one free I was under the impression I was making a good decision. The associate had all my information including home address which is also my work address(work from home) and guaranteed that the service in my area would be great. Every single day I get the No Service prompt; 'Emergency calls only', I get dropped calls, I get texts not sent nor received, apps that will not load, internet that will not load. 5G will appear for a brief second before I go to make a call or send a text and then dissappear immediately and change to 4G LTE with 1 or 2 bars. I constantly see the 馃毇 symbol stating I have absolutely no service. I play the game of turning my wifi off and back on to maybe get a signal for a brief moment. 

On the other hand since I started my service I've spent countless hours on the phone with customer care and using the 611 text chat when the calls get dropped. It's so fun to go around and around and be told I'll receive a call back from this associate or this supervisor and then revieve nothing. Lies.

I went and got the internet service not long after my wireless when I was told it would help boost signal and with my service in general. I had the thing for 9 stupid months or so- on the window sill boosted up to get the best signal of maybe 1 or 2 bars. I got so tired of calling and fighting with customer service and troubleshooting everything with tech support that I gave up for a while. I returned the wifi device only to be charged $200 for a non return fee which they told me I'd have to pay the bill and that it would be refunded to me after and to call my bank... I was told by another associate that they can't refund money and that it would be in the form of a credit and they're not sure why I was told to call my bank to check on it. I was then told by another associate that it was removed after I agreed to pay a certain amount, they said it was considered an unauthorized transaction but somehow it was all 'squared away' and 'no worries'. 

At this point this past week I've spent 40+ hours between phone calls and messages to find out the following:

1. Service is not fully provided to my address because of a lack of nearby towers.

2. The towers (owned by Verizon and leased by TMobile) were "checked" to see if they're working properly.

3. One specific tech was able to manually connect me to the nearby tower in which I still had no service.

4. All three of my Samsung Galaxy phones work perfectly fine

5. A $50 credit is TMobile's way of resolving my issues; "a $50 credit as a token of our appreciation for my continued support"

Not only do their associates love to hang up or randomly end chats at their time of choosing, they have admitted to the faults of the company and it's horrible service. I actually had one TMobile associate recommend I switch service providers because it won't get any better.. TMobile continues to want to steal from me via 'theft of services' and have neglected to right the year of not having service and paying +$150/month.

I'll be contacting the BBB and wherever else reviews may be left.

I'll also finally be switching my service today.

  • I am have been a T-Mobile customer for 10 years. I have always loved T-Mobile, but I am at a point where I am leaving also. Their service absolutely sucks. It has been TERRIBLE in my area and my dad's area for the last year and a half. I feel bad because my boyfriend transferred his Verizon line to T-Mobile since I used to always mention I was happy with my carrier. Now, he is trying to leave too! I have three lines and they all experience the same thing. My boyfriend has two and their wifi. Their lack of service and horrible customer service that advises you to go to a different carrier is the last straw. I completely understand your frustration. They are losing 6 lines of revenue in total and a long time customer.
