T-Mobile Won't Credit Me Correctly for My Returned Phone. Help!
I moved two of my AT&T phones over to T-Mobile in March. One of the phones is an iPhone XR. The back of the phone wascracked but the front was flawless. The T-Mobile guy at Sam's Club kioskappraised the return value of the XR at $400. Hetook the IMEI on the phone and logged it on the system. After our new T-Mobile lines were activated, I sent out the XR using the pre-paid UPS package that they sent out. Today, I received an email saying that the IMEI of the quoted device is different from the IMEI of the returned device. The email said: Looks like there was a mix up-the make, model or memory of your quoted device doesn't match what we received or it was damaged. We will adjust your trade-in value to $55 because of this difference. This is so unacceptable and so unfair, because (1) I did not plug in the IMEI in the T-Mobile system. I believe it was a typographical error on the rep's part that he plugged in the wrong number. I remember that when he tried scanning the numberwith his company iPad, he couldn't successfully scan so he typed in the number manually, and; (2) The T-Mobile representative ocularly the device, removed the case and made sure that the screen was not damaged (although the back was). Andhe found it acceptable with the return value of $400. Please note that the T-Mobile website says "The screen on my device is free of cracks (Scratches and scuffs are acceptable)". Again, the screen was flawless. It was the back that was cracked. I am so upset with this that I want to switch back to AT&T. I hope the T-MO people in this chat can offer us some relief for this unfair issue. (And I haven't yet even covered the dropped calls at my residence and place of work!)
