Text Messages that come delayed for up to 4 days or Not At all.
Hi We have a Samsung A32 5g (pervious issued phone was an A22) and anGalaxy S21 Ultra 5G. T-Mobile Corporate (CS) sent us to the store to get (free) new sim cards due to an ongoing issue with our phones due to the INABILITY to send and receive on time text messages since before Aug 2021,(when I had an A22) This is only with text messages. This happens when I have a good signal and a Wi-Fi connection in my house, but it has also happened when I'm out and have only cell signal with GREAT SIGNAL. We have tried it with other carriers with people, and it still doesn't work all the time. The usual phone troubleshooting steps (quitting the Messages application, restartingthe phones,hard resets, brand new phones, even different messaging apps) do absolutely nothing. I should add FaceBook messenger works, but meh. We checked the activity logs in ourT-Mobile account, and the read, delivered, and sent, in the APP it self. which doesn't always work. It's been confirmed many times now thatT-Mobilesees the delays and missed messages. To fix this problem we got a free sim card at the store. (we have done all the technical work with T-Mobile Tech Support at the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd tier Levels, AND having them E-mail the Engineers 2 times.) Which we NEVER received any information back about. In fact they closed the trouble ticket and marked it as resolved! I had to ask about it.We are 16+ year customers and I am no longer recommending T-Mobile to our friends and Family. UNFORTUNATLEY for them, T-Mobile'sCorporate Store tried to give him 3 different sim cards and after THEM calling corporate, it got the PHONE basically bricked, and unusable after TRYING too many times. Got him Flagged by the FRAUD DEPARTMENT. Told him he would have to wait an hour for it to come back to working. FOUR HOURS LATER, it's not working still. So on call to the Call to CS. SoIwas on the phone with then for 1 hour and 56 mins to tell me the FRAUD department does ONLY emails and it wouldtake 24-48 hours for them to get a response, for them to call me and TRUST that them after everything. There is no number and no transfer ability for customers or CS to call them. So no phone for 24-48 hours? After we have been taking our time patience, and gasoline to fix this issue. This is a Corporate Store that LET him leave the store without fixing their mistake. I will be filing a report on the store with T-Mobile, Because you let a customer leave without fixing his problem and making it worse. This should have been simple. I should also mention he went back and forth to the store TWICE to resolve this issue. starting at 10am, on 3/19/22. We do not feel we where given the attention, dedication, and service that we deserve as customers, let alone people. This may end up with us ending our history with T-Mobile as Customers. 16 years of loyalty to end up this way.
When will you complete updates to nearby tower?
When will you complete updates to the nearby cell tower? When I began using your service I had on average a 40 mbps download speed. I changed nothing and now during the day I average 1-2 mbps and 10 mbps in the evening. This has been occurring since November 2021. The story I get when I speak with your support is that they are upgrading the tower near me and once finished I will have the best service ever. But when? When will the upgrade be completed?
Engineer response?
Will i be getting a call back still? Two days ago i reported problems after adding home internet. They did a reset and it was supposed to get better. it didn't. Yesterday i reported it again to customer service. the phone reception was so bad that i had to use a verizon phone to make calls. long wait times and soooo many dropped calls before i switched to verizon. Last night i was told theyd reach out to engineering about why my service was so bad, slow, unreliable. no update in almost 24 hours. The tv cant maintain a connection to wifi. the phones dont work. I am using another company to access the internet. this is ridiculous. techs keep saying oh your tower has 5G but the gateway says no connection, poor connection, or weak connection. Nothing else. It's elevated and by a window as requested. I need somebody to actually help. Ive wasted hours of my time on this, and youre going to charge me for this horrible service i'm sure. please contact me or else tell me how to send all of this back. I'll likely switch to verizon.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.
