Text Messages that come delayed for up to 4 days or Not At all.
Hi We have a Samsung A32 5g (pervious issued phone was an A22) and anGalaxy S21 Ultra 5G. T-Mobile Corporate (CS) sent us to the store to get (free) new sim cards due to an ongoing issue with our phones due to the INABILITY to send and receive on time text messages since before Aug 2021,(when I had an A22) This is only with text messages. This happens when I have a good signal and a Wi-Fi connection in my house, but it has also happened when I'm out and have only cell signal with GREAT SIGNAL. We have tried it with other carriers with people, and it still doesn't work all the time. The usual phone troubleshooting steps (quitting the Messages application, restartingthe phones,hard resets, brand new phones, even different messaging apps) do absolutely nothing. I should add FaceBook messenger works, but meh. We checked the activity logs in ourT-Mobile account, and the read, delivered, and sent, in the APP it self. which doesn't always work. It's been confirmed many times now thatT-Mobilesees the delays and missed messages. To fix this problem we got a free sim card at the store. (we have done all the technical work with T-Mobile Tech Support at the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd tier Levels, AND having them E-mail the Engineers 2 times.) Which we NEVER received any information back about. In fact they closed the trouble ticket and marked it as resolved! I had to ask about it.We are 16+ year customers and I am no longer recommending T-Mobile to our friends and Family. UNFORTUNATLEY for them, T-Mobile'sCorporate Store tried to give him 3 different sim cards and after THEM calling corporate, it got the PHONE basically bricked, and unusable after TRYING too many times. Got him Flagged by the FRAUD DEPARTMENT. Told him he would have to wait an hour for it to come back to working. FOUR HOURS LATER, it's not working still. So on call to the Call to CS. SoIwas on the phone with then for 1 hour and 56 mins to tell me the FRAUD department does ONLY emails and it wouldtake 24-48 hours for them to get a response, for them to call me and TRUST that them after everything. There is no number and no transfer ability for customers or CS to call them. So no phone for 24-48 hours? After we have been taking our time patience, and gasoline to fix this issue. This is a Corporate Store that LET him leave the store without fixing their mistake. I will be filing a report on the store with T-Mobile, Because you let a customer leave without fixing his problem and making it worse. This should have been simple. I should also mention he went back and forth to the store TWICE to resolve this issue. starting at 10am, on 3/19/22. We do not feel we where given the attention, dedication, and service that we deserve as customers, let alone people. This may end up with us ending our history with T-Mobile as Customers. 16 years of loyalty to end up this way.

I had to call 4 times today (all to 844-275-9310) with my new 5G Gateway. First call at 12:01 (22 min) because my new gateway wont connect despite of my cell phone saying it was "activated" (and only after like 12 times). The guy never tried to activate my new sim but told me to move the old sim card from LTE to the new one and it worked… for 3 hours. I called again at 3:59 (16 min) and the lady says I should move the new sim card back to the new gateway which I did not want to do. She then, instead of activating my gateway SIM, inactivated my cell phone! My call was dropped in the middle with my phone saying "sim card not found". I tried rebooting my phone, reinserting my sim card and no help. I swapped the sim cards between the new and old gateway and neither would work. It appears someone inactivated my old wifi sim card after 3 hours of use and new one was not yet fully activated (despite the phone app saying it was). had to call again using my wife's cell (imaging if I donot have one extra cell phone!), and the third person fixed my sim card first (I got texts saying it was reconfigured), and then also my gateway. She promised me that I should not be making another call today. The 2nd lady called back to ask me if everything was fixed and I told her that she messed my phone sim, which she denied or did not even understand! but the gateway again dropped off, and I had to call a 4th time! I rebooted the gateway before a call back and it was working. this third lady says it will never happen again and this happens because of a new router…. with reconfiguring all my devices and 2 printers, today I accomplished nothing else other than dealing the constant dropping-off of the gateway….I truely hope this wont happen again...my old device was better and had no problem even on the first day.
The 5gUC "upgrade" bricks my iPhone 12 Pro
T-mobile just "upgraded" towers in my area to carry signals as 5gUC but whenever my phone switches from 5g to 5gUC, the data gets bricked. My family has four T-mobile iPhones, from the 12 Pro through the new 14, and this is affecting ALL of our iPhones. When we are on 5gUC, we can't text, can't download pictures or video, can't upload anything at all, and cannot open apps. NOTHING works on 5gUC on any of our iPhones except the phone calling feature. That'd be fine if I was paying for a landline phone, but these are iPhones! Come on, T-mobile! I spent well over an hour on the phone with T-mobile tech support on Wednesday, and they had me go into settings and "reset iPhone," then "reset network settings," and supposedly they were fine-tuning something on their end with a supervisor assisting to "fix" the issue with 5gUC. This made things better for one day, then today (two days later) the 5gUC bricked all our phones again. Hey T-mobile, if you rolled out something that doesn't work, FIX IT! And no, the solution is not to send your customers back to 2019 LTE only service when we are paying for 5G capability. Turn off the 5gUC features on your towers and go back to the 5G service that worked before the UC"upgrade" until you have the problems ironed out. Quit compromising service with a clearly botched upgrade. T-mobile tech support had me use my Verizon cell phone from my work for most of the hour long call with their tech support…because my T-mobile service wasn't working… I'm starting to think that's significant in some way….
