Switching from Verizon to TMobile was a terrible decision!
Deceived by TMobile and now they will not honor it. Bought a new phone while with Verizon and then months later decided to switch my family over to TMobile to save some money. TMobile acted like bringing my device over from Verizon would be a non-issue. Immediately, after transferring to the TMobile network, my text messages began failing to send. After 4 different calls with tech support, 4 times of resetting my phone to default factory mode (then reinstalling all apps and going through my healthcare organizations security to have several work apps readded to my device)and having to make two trips to the TMobile store (40 minute drive each way), my phone is still having text messages fail to send. I have zero issues with the phone, it is in perfect condition and operates flawlessly. However, TMobile's solution to this is that I need to buy a new $900 device. How about 'No!'. I just bought a new phone a year ago for $900 and that phone had zero issues on the Verizon network. TMobile guaranteed me that I could bring my phone over with me. Now that's it's not working as I was told, now they backtrack and say, "well we do have some issues with Verizon phones and typically it is with text messages or data issues". So you are aware that this is an issue yet did not mention it to me as a possible problem and now you want me to buy a new phone from you. What a gimmick!! The issue is on the TMobileside, it's theirnetwork, they should be responsible for replacing my device since you told me that mine would work!! If they had been upfront about known issues with Verizon devices I would have reconsidered making the transfer to TMobile, which I guarantee is exactly why they did not disclose this information. For me, the $20/month savings between the TMobile and Verizon bills was not worth this hassle! I will be continuing to share this experience with multiple outlets.
Scammed by T-mobile, now what?
Tmobile said I was getting 800 on trade in and a free watch. So I gave them my Note 10 Plus along with 475 cash in exchange for an S23 Ultra and a supposedly free watch. I was told the phone was paid in full and the watch was free and that they were switching my plan to 55+ to lower my bill. Then the bill came and it had gone up by over 100 a month, they've been charging me monthly for the phone and for the watch since April of 2023 and say I owe them over 750 for the phone. Now I am not so dumb as to ever agree to trade my phone and also pay over 2500 for any new phone and I never wanted the watch that they are charging me 400 for and another 14 a month to connect it even tho I have never once used it. I went to the BBB website and it says TMOBILE is not a BBB member I have had zero luck with the aproximately 3 hrs a week for 10 months thatI've spent talking to customer service then I find out they've been charging me 10 dollars for each of call. I've been paying for all those wasted hours where they always make empty promises I don't know what to do about this Ive been a customer for nearly 20 years Do I need a lawyer? Is there a way to file some kindof official complaint? Any advice would be appreciated
Extremely long hold times, lying about hold time!
Why is T-Mobile lying about customer service hold times? In the past 3-4 days, I have called several times. Each day I have been on the phone with them nearly 2 complete hours or more for some calls. They are lying about hold times. The recording said 5 minutes hold time and I have been on for 25 minutes. Yesterday It said 7 minutes and I requested a call back. It called back and then put me on hold for another 8-9 minutes!!! What is going on? The customer service I received int he past few days has been one problem after another trying to get my device replaced. And they mailed my device to a local store and the store rep didn't want to give it to me because she didn't want to do a phone transfer at 6pm, so she told me it wasn't delivered. However it was delivered the day before. This is the absolute worst service I have ever received in 15 years of T-Mobile service. And now I receive a message saying they are mailing me my new device and I am going to be charged for it!?! Charged for what??? OMG, I can't with them anymore. I think we all need to leave T-Mobile!
"There is no way for our Expert's to tell them the truth"
I have been having lots of difficulties since signing up with T-Mobile regarding hidden/unexplained fees and general lies(I honestly believe that these "Experts" are encouraged to come up with a solution off the top of their head whether it is true or not and just run with it). I had three experts in a row lie (or they themselves were misinformed) about charges appearing on my account. I finally got to a supervisor who informed my that there is no way for them to tell the customer the truth. Later in that conversation I had asked for a copy of all the charges and changes made to my account, such as all the debits and credits so I could see all the crazy shenanigans going on with this. The same supervisor had informed me that no one in the company could give me that information and in the future I needed to pay better attention to hidden fees. Of course I also record calls for quality assurance, who exactly would I reach out to with these recordings? I like to give the company the benefit of the doubt and say that 3 "Experts" and a Supervising "Expert" were just having a really bad couple of days.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!
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.
