Be Careful when returning defective gateway routers
We've been home internet users for right at a year now. Ever since we got home internet through T-mobile, we have had issues with internet going out periodically. Generally, an unplug and wait for a couple minutes would solve the issue. About 3weeks ago, the internet went out and never came back on. We went roughly 24 hours without any re-connection, so I contacted T-mobile, went through all the troubleshooting steps, and they agreed to send a new gateway. The old gateway sat on top of my 6 ft tall ikea cabinet the entire time we had it, only being touched when we needed to reboot it. Once the new gateway arrived, I took the old one in the box provided and returned it to the local T-Mobile store. They packaged it up and sent it off. Today, I received an email stating my old gateway was damaged and I would be charged $79.00 on my next bill. I contacted a rep and they were able to send pictures of the "damage". I explained to the rep that this gateway is never touched, never been dropped, etc., so how in the world could it have been damaged?! They responded with "Well that's why we recommend returning to a store" which I told him again that I did return it to a store and everything was open/unboxed for them to inspect. The best excuse they could provide is maybe it got damaged in transit and I'm still on the hook for this charge…. LONG STORY SHORT…Take photos of your gateway if you have to return it. Photograph every single side of it, and return it to a store and have them visually inspect the gateway as well. I know well this thing was in pristine physical condition. The only thing wrong with it was whatever software issues it had when it was sent to us. The second photo in this post is the "Gross Physical Damage" that they claim is worth the $79.00 charge…. ¡Gracias T-Mobile!
T-Mobile Trade-In Gone Wrong
So I'm still dealing with a trade-in issue from just over a year ago. I mailed my device in, pictures and video of me packing the box, the box taped, with their prepaid label, the tracking number they provided showing it was delivered to the facility, etc. Why go through the extra hassle of photo/video, you may ask, because this happened once before with AT&T by mail trade-in. Well, you can guess what happened. T-mobile claims they see that it was received by their facility but not one person can tell me what was in the package. They claim they cannot find the device in their facility. So I ask, then what notes are made regarding the the receipt of the box and its contents. No notes, no nothing. As far as I can tell, they lost it. USPS says it was delivered and received by them, yet T-Mobile customer service just keeps filing claims to say they'll look for it. 6-8 weeks later, the claim is closed, no notes or updates regarding it, and never once do they follow up. I have to call them, and each time they say they'll need to log another claim and I'll need to wait another 6-8 weeks. I'm so frustrated I'm ready to cancel their service just like I did AT&T. I want to do more. Any one have suggestions?
14 YEARS OF LOYAL T MOBILE MEMBER AND THEY DO THIS TO ME? THIS IS LIKE STEALING LITERALLY.
So the title says that and here I will extend more. these guys want your money so bad, they are sending me an another month to pay even though I closed my account and paid my month blll early(it ends FEBURARY 6) and I kept telling them thats basically stealing. She wouldn't even tell me why and I asked for a supervisor and she wouldn't get one she pretended to get one and it took so long call was over 55 minutes too also. So they closed my account after I paid the FEES the LAST MONTH I USE T MOBILE AS OF TODAY 1/30/2023 after 14 YEARS OF A LOYAL CUSTOMER, I always set it up that I pay my bill one month in advance, but since im closing my account I paid off everything which is the one month left that didnt even end UNTIL FEBRUARY 6th. Then they said they will bill me a final one AFTER ASWELL. Don't even use t mobile anymore too expensive, they took all my credits away when I cancelled after I asked what happened to my credits they said I had none when I always saved my credits. And to think being a loyal 14 year customer they wouldn't do me dirty like this, Lady said she can't even provide me a confirmation email or a physical email of the account closing, I asked for this incase somethinggoes wrong and I got proof, she still wouldn't. She tried everything to not explain why I had to pay ANOTHER MONTH that IM NOT EVEN USING and the month isnt EVEN HERE YET, 1 MORE DAY AND NOT ONLY THAT LIKE I SAID FEBRUARY 6th IS MY PAY DATE BUT I PAID ALREADY JUST SO CAN CLOSE MY ACCOUNT. BUT NOW ALL MY CREDITS PROMOTIONS OVER THER 14 YEARS OF SERVICE SUDDENLY GONE AND NOT ONLY THAT I HAVE TO PAY ONE MORE MONTH LOL? NO EMAIL CONFIRMATION OR PHYSICAL MAIL EITHER WHEN REQUESTED SHE SAID YOULL RECEIVE A TEXT WHICH I DID NOT GET EITHER.

I opened 3 support tickets all say wait tell the network is upgraded but they don'thave any plans for the network to be upgraded. Even T mobile executive teamsays wait tell the network is upgraded. They don'tknow how long. When I restart the modem, I get good speeds for 5 Minties then it drops. every time I call, they say to wait tell the network is upgraded I emailJonFreier no response I dm him on twitter no response. I told everybody on Twitter not to get t mobile home internet. I don'tknow what else to do I filled a complaint with the FCC that's how I got the t mobile executive who says wait tell the network is upgraded but won'tgive me a date becauseThey don'tknow. Does anyone else have any Ideas on what I can do.
Worst New Customer Experience Ever!
I have been with AT&T for 18 years and decided to try something new because of all the "Great" promotions T-Mobile is offering and supposedly largest 5G network. I have 9 (nine) phone lines want to port over. I open a T-Mobile account with 10 lines, Magenta Max. I got the initial phone number assigned to me on the 2nd eSim on my iPhone. Painless process here. Once I resolve all my remaining balance from AT&T, i started the mass portingof my 9 lines T-mobile. This was, Monday, Mar 27th @ 8PM and I did not get done until 2AM the 28th. Six hours of grueling back and forth because of the screw ups, dropped calls, deleting number that working, assigning numbers to the wrong phone, etc, etc, etc. And it does not end there. Everyday after I would call back for account access issues because they somehow send the PIN when logging in to a phone number that is my 86 year old mother that is on my account. Every time I call it get, "Oh thats an easy fix sir, I can help you with that, no problem". Then the escalation begins because whatever it is they do, does not fix the the issue. To this day, I can't login with out getting the PIN sent to the wrong phone number even though my number is the Primary. To date,I have spent 10 hours on the phone with T-mobile sub-standard support in the span of 4 days. Unacceptable. I should have moved to Verizon instead or just stay with AT&T, which I probably will go back to AT&Tand I am sure they will be happy to have me back and offer all kinds of deals/credits to come back. T-Mobile tries to offer mea laughable, an insult really, $5 credit for my 10 hours of grueling, torturous, feeling like a ping pong ball being hit back and fort,experience with their support. If T-Mobile actually reads this. Here is my account# so you can verify what I am saying: #989154525MISGUIDED BY SALES REP
I called T-mobile to lower my monthly plan. I canceled 3 tablet internets that I was paying promotional $50 / month for those 3 tablets and also changed my plan to get a lower rate. The representative canceled the lines, changed the plan and told me that I was all set. Here I am so happy that I deducted a chunk of my bill. 2 days later I get a notice from T-mobile that I owe $142.00 extra on the bill. I call and they tell me that I had to pay Partial plan charges because since I canceled the plan I had to pay the "prorated" charge which actually cost $65.00 each. Excuse me??? The representative mentioned NOTHING of this. He happily changed my plan and went about his day. Do you not think that is something worth mentioning? They went and gave me a $40 credit due to the "inconvenience" and apologizing wildly for the rep and that they apologize he did not mention it but there is nothing more they can do. I spoke with a supervisor and she was not of much help either just said the same... "we apologize the rep did not mention this". T-mobile reps apologies is not going to help me pay this bill.. I should not be penalized for the $140 charge!!! And I want it removed from my bill ASAP. Please, what can be done to get this bill resolved? I literally am in shambles because I have been so blindsided by this. I have been a customer for more than 10 years with this company and I feel like I got completely scammed there and it is all because a REP did not mention any of this before me giving the okay to cancel these plans. Someone help please.MISGUIDED BY SALES REP
