Horrible Signal/Service
I recently switched back to T-mobile due to cost of home internet & everything being pretty ridiculous else where. I am sadly regretting this choice! I get good home internet service only for about 4 hours a day. The rest of the day it is buffering constantly. I have to reset the internet password on my electronics multiple times a week as well because the internet goes out. I also have horrible cell service where I live. Inside my house it's decent but once I leave my home I lose ALL signal! I can't open apps & I have a difficult time making calls because there is no service! I am seriously breaking my contract or whatever to find a better service that I can actually use my phone when I am in town.
lied to
Has anyone else been lied to by multiple T-Mobile representatives? I was told almost four months ago that unlimited home internet would be a maximum wait of two weeks … based on that and the combined price I signed up for the phone service. After several representatives told me multiple different things I was finally sent everything to get set up, after four days our internet came to basically a standstill.. upon calling I was informed that the high speed still wasn't available and at this point the "supervisor " had to admit that I had been lied to based on the chat log… still nothing could or would be done because NONE of the EXPERTS were under her and just so happens she also couldn't put me in contact with any of the supervisors that were in charge of these people… almost comical… I should have came here and searched "lied to" . Seems pretty common for these people to not tell the truth!Ridiculous experience
I am going to start sharing my experience with T-Mobile customer service in a hope that someone else sees this and does something about it - not just my issue, but probably the hundreds of other people who suffer this inadequately-managed company. Back in July/August T-Mobile had a promotion for a "free RAVL V+ or OnePlus Nord200" phone when the customer trades-in ANY other working device. I traded-in a brand new, still in the box Verizon pre-paid phone. Got the RAVL in the mail, T-Mobile sent me an SMS that they got my trade-in (I had to mail it using a shipping label they sent me via email. So by August 20-th things were looking all set. Around August 25, though, I received another automated SMS saying that I have been un-enrolled from the promotion. On August 28th I called 611 and after a lengthy conversation, the CSR told me that "the warehouse coded the phone as damaged". After hearing my explanation that this was actually a brand new device that I purchased specifically for the trade-in the CSR said that she (or her supervisor) was able to talk to the warehouse and confirm that the trade-in is fine. She said that it may take up to a monthfor my account to reflect the re-enrollment of the promotion, so she credited back August and September to offset the incorrect charges. Come November, I see that charge re-appear on my bill. Today I called 611again. After about 20 min. on hold a CSR named Destiny picks up and after researching my issue says that nowhere in the notes from the Aug. 28th call she could see that the previous CSR resolved the issue. When I asked her to pull the phone recording (because we're all informed that our calls are recorded "to provide the best experience"), she said that she could not do that because the Aug. 28th CSR was at a different location. The call dropped, but Destiny was persistent enough to call me two times - the first reconnect attempt ended up in me answering but her getting my CM!!! Destiny patched me to her supervisor - Shakia White or similar. She started explaining to me that she cannot find ANY record of the trade-in, even though I was forced to mail it using a T-Mobile shipping label. So Shakia asked me to go dig up that tracking information so she can locate the phone "in the warehouse". Unfortunately while I was doing that the call dropped again and Shakia never called me back. After waiting for a call back for about 15 min., I called back 611. the automated system said "15 min. wait", but my call got answered in about 35-40 min. by a CSR in another region. After I told her that I was speaking with another supervisor, she offered to connect me at first, but after about 10 min. of being on hold I was told that the other supervisor probably left - they could only email her and that she would call me tomorrow. At this point I am about 2 solid hours on the phone with T-Movile. I said "fine" and I asked her if she could help me with the "Family allowance" feature, While we're going ove what wasn't working on their "Family Allowance" the phone call dropped again. In about a minute she seemed to be trying to call me, but regardless of the fact that I was waiting for this call at my desk and I answered immediately, the call didn't connect and she never tried to call me again. Now, this is all surreal, but I do have a voice recording of the whole ordeal if anyone is interested in hearing it. Together with typing this post, it's been 2 hours and 30 minutes of a complete waste of my time. Verizon, if you're listening, do call me, please!!!
