T-Mobile Loyalty
T-Mobile does not reward loyal customers. Real promotions are only for new customers. We trained in our old phones for new, updated phones under a promotion and of course afterwards there was something wrong with the old phones to decrease the value for one and found ineligible for the other. How about rewarding us for years of loyalty? Invest in customers you already have! Stop focusing on stealing customers from other companies and focus on customer service with the ones you have. Word will get out about how good T-Mobile is with existing customers and the others will come. I am very disappointed with how we were treated and my husband is pressuring me to check out other companies. Remember, this is the age of social media. People are asking for mobile phone company recommendations and people respond with both negative and positive recommendations. I wish I could respond with positive customer loyalty for T-Mobile.No Incentive for existing customer
T-Mobile definitely going away from customer satisfaction motto and customers are not the priority anymore. All the new plans are for new customers and don't even talk about the Phone deals. I have a plan that is grandfathered and like to upgrade to Magenta. T-mobile refuses to upgrade me with the promotion rate. It is ONLY for new customers. It is upsetting and hates to change carriers. But if this is ONLY way to save and get the best deal, then stay two years and switch. Time to shop around like we used to, when the 2 years contract was the way. there is now a reward for loyalty. I think we are going backward…. LOL, with all that effort to change the industry, making a new trap for customers. SHOP around every 2 yrs switch carriers, NEW WAY
Loyalty a one-way street
I've been a loyal customer for many years and mostly happy customer too even though there have been hiccups in service coverage. I just loved the quick and efficient customer service, and how the my phone worked so seamlessly when I travelled abroad. However, over the past few days, I've been having one of the worst customer service experiences with T-Mobile making me question whether my loyalty is really a one-way street! I've spent multiple hours on chat and on phone with customer service and the problems are still not resolved. It all started when I tried to upgrade the iPhone 11 in one of my lines to an iPhone 14 Pro (the line is upgrade eligible). First of all, my online account wouldn't let me make any changes online (it's been like that for a long while despite multiple appeals to fix it). So, I had to either use online chat or call in. I explained over chat but after some time I stopped getting responses and eventually signed out. Then, I called 611. I spent nearly an hour. Here, I learned about a couple of issues. First, my account is not eligible for upgrade offer of $800 off for the iPhone 14 pro. Only the Magenta Max is. So, I agreed to make that leap. However, the price for the Max plan was more than what's quoted online. I've 3 lines, and Max shows $47 ($141 for the whole plan) per line. But, on the phone, I was told it would cost me $170. I didn't get a clear reason as to why I can't get that $141 rate. Secondly, the company that I work for offers an employee discount of 15% but the rep on the phone couldn't tell me why she couldn't put that in. She was checking with a supervisor and a long time went in that. I finally gave up after about an hour as I had to step out. She said she'll have a supervisor call me back with all the information. As I didn't get any call back, I called 611 the next day. I had to explain everything again. This time I was told that the Magenta Max 3 lines for 141 is available only for new customers. For existing ones, it is 170. I finally swallowed that and agreed to make that change just to get the iPhone 14 Pro discount. Again, after spending an hour and 15 minutes, the operator still couldn't make that change. He kept saying something wrong with my account and it is blocked from making changes. After this much time, I gave up and have asked him to call me back when ready. Another problem is the employee discount. My employer's page shows 15% discount. However, I called T-Mo Work Perks line for existing T-Mo customers. I was told my line may not be eligible. In that case, can I not convert my account to a personal account and get the discount? No, then, you've to add a new line. Now I learned that is available only if I add ANOTHER NEW LINE. I already have 3. How much more do I need? Another way T-Mo screws over existing customers. Finally, after more than 2 hours with customer service on the phone and another hour on chat, I'm nowhere close to a resolution! All these started due to my need for the iPhone 14 Pro upgrade. Verizon is offering that for free with iPhone 11 trade-in along with 500 for each of the lines I'm switching. I'll be switching a total of 4 lines, so that makes it very lucrative deal for me. T-Mo is making me jump through hoops. I'm so frustrated and tempted to jump ship. The only reason I was sticking to T-Mo was because it works seamlessly when I travel abroad. If this continues, I'll finally give up T-Mo, international or not. TL; DR - 1) I want iPhone 14 Pro upgrade for free (or at least the $800 off)2) I want 3 lines for 141 on Magenta Max. Why is that only for new customers? If not possible, and it is only available for $170, then, at least give me 15% employee discount without having to add another unwanted line3) I want to be able to make changes online (Is that too much to ask? I keep getting this message that I can't make changes online! Why?!). Come on, give some reward for customer loyalty!!
What about loyalty?
I decided to come here to post this as I was just in a text convo and then call for 30 minutes trying to have my service restored. I was trying to set up a payment arrangement because yesterday my accounts were suspended they requested past due amount. Today I tried to pay said amount there is an additional $67 added. I ask could I pay thepast due amount that was asked a fewhours ago to restore my service and they apply the $67 to the balance? First they said I had to pay the $67 fee before I can restore the service. So I asked if that's the case why wasn't that $67 included the first time I looked into the arrangement? (withinhours it's added on) They said I have to pay that in addition to the bill(the amount I was trying to pay) I am a teacher and during the summer funds are NOT there (we already get paid little to nothingthrough the school year) any who I tried to explain that I'm not asking for the fee to be removed just added to the next bill they said nothing they could do. I have to pay the past due bill and the additional $67 I explained I didn't have the $67 now but I really need the to be back and I can pay the past bill amount that was requested a few hours ago after being on hold going back and forth 30 minutes nothing so I said okay thank you I hung up. I go to Facebook or twitter to try to vent my frustration and when I get to Facebook I type in t mobile and a pic comes up of me dated 2010 and it says picture taking with blackberry by T-Mobile. I had the t mobile service years before the Facebook pictures as well.I have been with t-mobile for 20 years 20. I may pay my bill late on occasion but I pay it and whatever fees they attach and I need my service to reach my kids but they wouldn't move NOT remove just move the added fee (a few hours ago) so I can restore my service. Just wanted to know where is the loyalty? All these years giving my money to the company for the service should count for something? ¿No es así?
