Store Rep and Customer Service Lies
I recently switched to T-mobile after having service with another provider for years. We switched based on a friend's advice regarding the cost of theirfamily plan. To make a very long story short, the store rep gave us bad information about the cost of our plan and the cost of the phone we purchased. I only discovered this when the bill came and it was not what we were told in the store. My communication with T-mobile since then has been as follows: Via text: "I understand your concern, I will have a supervisor call you to resolve the issue" Via my phone to them : "I am a supervisor, I will fix this and it will be reflected on your next bill. I will call you by Monday to confirm everything has been corrected in the system" Via text: "I am sorry no one evercalled you back. Yes, I see your concern. Will will fix it and you will no longer have those fees on your account." Via text: " I am a supervisor. No, the other reps were wrong. I have the most up to date information. Even though the rep gave you a more expensive plan and told you it was less expensive, we cannot give you the less expensive one that was available at the time. I will elevate this issue though and you will get a call within 3-5 business days." Still no phone call. I feel like I wasscammed by this company and now they just lie to tell me they will fix something when they have not done anything to resolve the issue. I regret switching to this company and will caution anyone else looking for a new provider to stay away from T-mobile.
T-Mobile Military Bate and Switch
I switched to T-mobile in December 2022 because they could save me money on my $200+ AT&T bill with the Military Magenta Max plan. I was extremely upfront about the fact that I am an Air Force Civilian, not active duty. I had multiple people assure me that I qualified before I switched. They used my AirForceID to sign me up at the store. Now, we have switched carriers,spent hundreds of dollars on phones, and now I am being told that I somehow don't qualify. My choices are 1) pay moremaking the switch to T-mobile a pointless switch for similar cost andworse serviceor 2) commit a federal crime by impersonating a fellow soldier. Obviously, I am not going to commit a crime. I am absolutely furious that I was misled and unfortunely, I don't have anyway to prove I was given misinformation because they refuse to provide transcripts. I know they record conversations in store and on the phone but I do not have access to them. I'm honestly in angry tears right now. To T-mobile:please remedy this situation,in writing. The FTC has determined that bait and switch sales practices are unfair or deceptive trade practices, and violate the FTC Act.
