Lied to and billed for a phone that I was offered for free
I have been a good reliable Tmobil customer for over 4years. I have multiple lines on my plan and I've never missed a payment. I ordered and paid for a new phone just before Xmas 2021. The phone was never delivered. I called to ask where my phone was and was told they couldn't find the phone and had to investigate. A rep was supposed to call me back. By the second week of Jan. the issue still wasn't resolved and I did not receive a phone yet. Tmobil was still unable to give me a clear answer on what happened or when I'd receive myphone. I was upset and called backon Jan. 7th to close my account. The operator was distressed and saidshe could not lose me as a customer. She asked if a free phone would get me to stay. I agreed and signed the paperwork for a new phone. I received the phone within 1-2 days and all was well until I got my next bill and saw that I was being billed for the phone. I called customer support several more times trying to resolve the issue. By early March my frustration level was through the roof. I've made so many calls and wasted so much of my time. I called to cancel my account and was told that if I left, I would still owe for the balance on the phone. I said I'd send it back but the rep said too much time has passed. I asked to speak with a supervisor. I was given to James rep# 9991310431 who insinuated that all along this was just a scheme I hatched to demand a phone. That whatever happened between me and the service rep on Jan. 7th was my fault and that I agreed to pay for a new phone. I asked him to listen to the recorded call, he said he did and that I agreed to buy a phone. I know that's not true so I asked James to let me listen, he said that wasn't possible. I asked if somebody else at Tmobil could listen to the call. He said he was the highest level of authority I would be able to reach and that nobody else at Tmobil would bother to waste their time listening to that call. I asked James for the number to customer relations, he said that Tmobil (a giant phone company) doesn't have a phone at customer relations and that I'd have to write them a letter. If I want to speak with somebody else, I will have to wait 72 hours for somebody to call me back. This all seems crazy to me. I'm a working father of three children with a life, I don't have time for all this and I'm not just going to be bullied into paying $1000 for a phone I was told would be free. I want my money back and I want to take my families business elsewhere. I can't believe that there's no way to contact anyone at Tmobil with the authority to assist a very displeased customer besides James, who has insulted me multiple times now. If you are reading this and you are on the fence about using Tmobil as a carrier, this will be your reality if you ever need customer service. I don't recollect ever calling for help with anything else in all my time with this company.The one time I need help due to unusual circumstances that were no fault of mine, I've been lied to, scammed, hassled, bullied, insulted, stressedand have had hours and hours of my time wasted.
Customer Service flat out lied to me about promotions
I wanted to do something really simple and make a new account under a released phone line. The customer service rep who helped me was very nice at the time and helped me make a new account for this line. I was also trying to take advantage of a promotion for 800 dollars off a new Samsung S23+ since i was opening a new account. I asked the representative if this would affect my coverage since I was switching plans and getting a new phone. The rep Promised me it would not and i could at any time switch between phones if i liked. I asked multiple times if the new phone would still be the same phone number and Fred the rep said it would. I'm thinking to myself that T-mobile actually honors their word. I find an E-mail today thanking me for opening a third line. I thought that was weird and called customer service. Apparently the promotion was for opening a NEW phone number. Of course I was frustrated after spending 6 Hours (8 at the time of writing this) to get my problems resolved. I went through 8 people now (Janica-Supervisor - 602-854-109) (Fred - 846-768-92) (Whitney J- 2466) (Idaesha - Supervisor) ( Alysha-Supervisor) (Kerry) (Derrick) All of which refused to help me, The three Whitney Idaesha, And Alysha were also very rude to me and gave me nothing but attitude and tried to talk over me. All I want is to get what was promised (And PAID FOR) to me. Every single one of them basically told me I was out of luck and there was nothing they will do for me to resolve this situation. I just want my number on a line and the phone/watch that was promised to me. Why is T-Mobile opening more phone lines for me? This is not how a customer should be treated. T-mobile needs to make this right. There's no reason A customer should spend a whole working day figuring out why there's extra charges on an account.I feel lied to
When I purchase my plan, the representative when asked how much high-speed data I could expect before "deprioritization" he said that it was up 100GB but now what has been a day later. I'm already at 50 gigs and it's telling me that my data is going to be slowed down until next month. I just feel like you know if he didn't know what he was talking about why would he you know say that or why wouldn't he look it up so that he knew for sure?
iphone 11 trade in
I was told at T Mobile that I could receive $800 for my iPhone 11 which would go towards my bill for the iphone 13 pro max. The bill is originally $36 for 30 months before the credit.They printed the labels & told me that I needed to send it in. When I get home I see that the label said customer accepted value$180. Which is very untrue. No price other than $800 was discussed if I knew it was only worth $180 I wouldn't of accepted the phone.Did this happen to you? If so were you able to return whatever phone you accepted & get out of contract? Or complain & get more than what was on your label.
Tmobile is doing false advertisement
When I log in to my T-Mobile account it says I qualify for the upgrade of the IPhone 14 pro at $0 down and $41 monthly. I decided to go for it, I select the phone I want to upgrade (not trade in) and it ask me if I would like to pay full balance or proceed with zero down and $41 monthly, and once I select the zero down optionand make it to the end, it proceeds to say I need to make a deposit of $249. I called and a rep told me that a lot of costumers were getting that message and it was a glitch in their end. I asked If this can be honored because I've never had to put a down payment and have been a costumer for 10 years, I was told they were going to look into it and give me a call back in 48hrs to see if deposit can be waived.. SURPRISE!!!! I never got a call back! So I reach back out and was told my account was reviewed by their "overseas team" and no notes were added and that the supervisors are all in a meeting and can't talk… how convenient 🫠 I swear this company just gets worse every yearlied to by rep in text
I got into a txt conversation with a rep in order to remove a SIM that was no longer needed. They tried to sell me on switching it to a watch or something else and I said no. Then they offered to check to see if I could upgrade my phone and I said sure. After checking everything they said I could take my current phone into store and use it as a 400$ down payment on a s22 ultra and that I would pay nothing. I drove 20 mins to the store for them to tell me that's not how it works but I could upgrade and it would just cost me 399$. I said no, drove 20 mins back home and got into another txt with a manager. She said she would look into everything and make it right. After spending 2 hrs in txt she gave me an offer of the same phone and when we got down to the very last bit tried to bill me 399$ again. She did not fix anything. I feel like I was lied to and that they are doing everything they can to get every penny out of you. I have screenshots of the entire conversation including where the rep told me to go to the store to get my phone and not pay anything. What do I do? I feel cheated.
Lied to by phone reps
So recently, my dad upgraded my phone online without my knowledge to an s22. If I had known I could upgrade, I would have chose the zfold3. I called t-mobile to ask about the swap, as I wanted to give them back the s22 I was mailed, and take the zfold3, which the website said with my upgrade would be about $8/mo whereas the s22 was free. When I called, the fold was out of stock and they told me I could keep the s22 for up to 30 days so i should keep it and call back in 2 weeks when the fold is restocked. So today, two weeks later, I call and they tell me that it was only a 14 day period I had to return the s22 so I am now outside of that deadline and that even if I had swapped, it would be like $75/mo for the fold plus a heavy down-payment. I was flat out lied to before.My line has been active with sprint for20 years and I am severely disappointed with this gross mishandling of my account. The rep I talked to today told me I could wait 2 years and trade in for it. 2 years was her great solution for my issue. Verizon is looking very shiny today.Your Sales Reps
Since Verizon 5g Home Internet is not available where I am (I am a Verizon Wireless customer of over a decade), I called T-Mobile to see about home internet service. Here are the LIES they told me: Lie #1 - You cannot get equipment any way other than a phone or internet order Truth -No, you can get it in the store, but you need to sign up for new service in the store. When you make the order it ties the equipment to the account so that they can track when it is returned or has to be swapped. So now I need to wait for my equipment to arrive when I could have had it same day, and actually need a faster internet connection for work than what I have. Lie #2 - Pay us $12 for shipping, it will be there by Friday… Truth -They are sending me the wireless router and some worthless (to me) Google TV device I will never use. They shipped the Google TV device and it will get to me January 24th…As for my router (the only thing that matters), it has been over 24 hours and nothing has shipped that I can see at all. No email sent, the only link I have shows this Google TV device. Lie #3 - Guaranteed speeds of 100mbps download and 24mbps upload Truth -This is my fault for trusting the sales person, I was in a WalMart when I called and did not find the actual technical specs page on the T-Mobile website. Here is what that reads: Download Speeds: Typically between 37 - 115 Mbps Upload Speeds: Typically between 8 - 24 Mbps Currently I get 80mbps download CONSISTENTLY and 8mbps upload CONSISTENTLY. Long and short of this is that I now have a connection that might be SLOWER downloads, and THE SAME upload speed of what I am looking to replace. I also paid $12 for no reason at all to get 1 day shipping that did not happen. I could have gone to a store and gotten all my gear on my own and at least tested it out by now. As a sales person my entire adult life, I have had to mount a defense when people say that salespeople are terrible, but this is so far a lousy experience. I will get it whenever I get it (January 24th?) and will test it. I certainly hope I fall into the 115/24 camp, but if I do not, this was a bunch of wasted time for nothing at all.
