Beware of unpaid equipment balances
So, My son took his phone and number from my T-Mobile account and opened his own T-mobile Account at a retail T-Mobile store. I was not present. The Clerk told him that the phone was paid in-full and applied a full trade-in credit to a new phone. Unfortunately, I still owed $181 on that phone. This left me paying for a T-mobile phone that they now have, and they gave credit for that phone to someone else. I'm still paying for the phone monthly, T-mobile has the phone, son received the credit and T-mobile will make no concessions. This should not be allowed to happen. I think T-mobile is in the wrong here and should have known about the balance on the phone. Imagine trading in a car and the dealership not paying off the bank that held the lien? That's basically what they did here.
My iphone 13 is on Howtspot Data
So I've been having issues for 2 years with my device mainly with backups/calls and texts/app notification sounds/and unknown changeson my bill/ connecting to hotspot my iPhone 13 needs to be connected to my home wifi to connect another device like it's a modem/router and still uses my Wi-Fi not the cellular data..Basically what I'm starting to think is T-Mobile has me on some kinda data plan for a tablet or watch something like that. possibly a digits line since my number needs a country code like digits showed my number. My bill /account on T-Mobile dosnt show my # with the country code anywhere but digits.And they continue to lie about it , when I get on chat theysay everything is good providing no details no proof of anything their telling meand say one thing then after arguing with me say something different that contradicts what they said first.! Spoke with multiple supervisors that do the same and play gameslike they don't know what I'm asking them or provide information on stuff I'm not asking about and just waste my time saying their looking into the account then 10 minutes later say oh it's looks good or what was the issue.!?They fail to show me my lease on the devices saying their system information is basically my lease so the information on my signed lease doesn't matter cause the system information is right they said. I had a 12pro max on JOD upgraded to the iPhone 13 it moved my number from the 12 to the 13 but kept the device on my account like it was financed and are not removing it it does not have cellular service so why is a leased device on their with no service.!? So now Ihave 2 device under the same line now one has service the other who knows.! And the only way to upgrade or get that 13 was by going in store or turning in the JOD device. They said I did a "standard upgrade" whatever that is.? Theirs only 3 options (upgrade/add a line/or bring own device.) so how was a New device processed under the same JOD line moved over the number from the 12 to the 13 and then left the 12 on my account to pay still.!?
