trade in credit
43 TopicsT-Mobile has been overcharging me for months
I am so disappointed and angry about the billing I've received from T-Mobile. Our coverage has gotten worse with the new towers while our bills, which were supposed to stay at $85 have ballooned to almost $200 a month. We traded in phones that were in perfect working order and were assured on multiple occasions that the promotion for the iPhones we received would lead to no increase in our monthly bill. I am not sure whom to report their business practices to, but I will be finding a way to take action if they do not refund the overcharges and return us back to our previous bill amount.3.2KViews7likes16ComentariosTrade-in amount
I was told that I will get $800 trade-in amount for my old mobile and adjusted across 24months bills for the new phone. So I gave my old phone and took the new phone. But in the first monthbill t was not reflected (aprox $33.33 credit should applied). When I asked they mentioned I need to wait for 2 bill cycles to adjust the trade-in amounts. After 3rd bill also it is not reflected. Now they are telling $800 trade-in amount was wrong and I will get only $200 trade-in amount. If they say this I wouldn't even took a new phone. My old phone is in perfect condition and working nicely. With this kind of false promise/offers they are giving me trouble and demanding the monthly extract amount ? Being a T-Mobile management request you to sort this issue and help me to get my $800 trade-in amount.24KViews7likes20ComentariosIs this what being a T-Mobile customer is like?
I'm here to ask while I still have a chance to escape T-Mobile if I need to. So I took advantage of the promotion that T-Mobile had where you could get $800/phone when you trade in a qualifying device when activating a new line of service. I had two iPhone XS and a Galaxy S9 from Verizon that I was trading in and porting in the new number. That was Tuesday evening (1/11/22). The call was all over the place and didn't go smoothly but it seemed like it ended the right way. I asked multiple times to confirm I would be receiving the $800 credit towards each of my new purchases, paid the tax, and submitted the order over the phone. I received the new phones on Thursday evening (1/13/22). Due to the fact that I needed to make sure all of our stuff was backed up on our phones and my mother's, I couldn't activate the phones right away. I did it today, 3 days later on 1/16/22. Before I confirmed the order, I asked if boxes would be sent so I could ship the trade-ins to T-Mobile. She said that there would be. No boxes came with the order. She also said that I could take them to my nearby T-Mobile store and turn them in there if I was more comfortable doing that. Given that there was $2400 on the line and I wanted to make sure my trade-in phones arrived in the same condition as they left my house (pristine), I decided to bring them to the store. I took them to the Monticello, MN location and right away the guy told me he wouldn't take the phones because I didn't buy them there. I told him I had no idea where to send them because I didn't receive shipping labels or boxes. He said he would print them out for me...but then he looked up our phones and said that there were no promotions for our devices and that he couldn't help us. First thing...it seemed apparent to me that they just didn't want to help us at the store since we bought it over the phone/had the new phones shipped. Second, the guy was pretty arrogant. Thirdly, when I called to try to things taken care of, they told me it was going to be an hour long wait. Sure...when I called to setup new service, there was no wait. Now after I've already activated, I get put to the back of the line and need to wait an hour. So I set the call back option so that when it was my turn T-Mobile would call me back. They call back a little over an hour later and the person that gets on the line hangs up on me immediately. So I call the new sales line...get someone on the phone immediately, and explain to them what's going on. They tell me that the rep that setup my order did not enter the trade-ins or the promotion and that we were no longer eligible for that offer. They're refusing to honor it retroactively as well even though they see the order was made on that date and can review the calls where I confirmed multiple times that the promotion would be applied. I almost blew my top. This is still not resolved but now my lines are no longer on Verizon and I really have no recourse at all except to migrate our data back over to the older phones, return the phones and try to get Verizon to re-enable our lines. I have NEVER had a worse experience with a cell-phone company. Has anyone else experienced anything similar with T-Mobile?Solved2.8KViews5likes11ComentariosTrade In Credit Scam
Purchased new IPhone 13 because of the $800 promo credit offered for trading in my device. Store tells me I will receive a send back kit to return my device. No kit arrives, so I take it upon myself to contact customer service since the website does not allow me to request a send back kit. Explain the situation to the rep and they say they will send me a kit. Receive kit, send phone back. Phone is received. Check my account to see a $175 credit. Think to myself what is this? Contact customer service and they tell me they sent the wrong "return kit" and that kit is only for a buy back credit. Furious…explain the situation and am assured they have noted on my account that I should get the promotion and will remove the $175 credit and that I will see it on next bill. Don't see it…repeat process by calling in to again hear I have "noted it on your account and see a manager has approved". Receive new bill…still not fixed. Fix It! I have screenshots and video of the condition of the phone I sent andconversations assuring me it was fixed. So give me my money or send back the pristine phone I sent in that is worth more than your lame $175 offer.1.8KViews3likes7ComentariosCheated out of phone trade in value
I'm a prior long time sprint customer. T-mobile bought them out and upgraded to 5G. My wife's samsung 7S edge would not work on 5G and my iphone 6 was getting old enough that I could no longer upgrade apps, so we decided to both upgrade. We decided on the samsung S21 5G for each of us. We were promised $400 each credit on trade-in. Got our phones and sent the old ones in still in their otter boxes. Got a text from them that they were received damaged and we would not receive credit. What a bunch of BS! Clearly lying and never intended to give us credit. CHEATERS! I have seen lots of similar stories on here and I think they are asking for a class action lawsuit. Anyone else with me? BTW never got my phone back.564Visto2likes5ComentariosWarehouse "never received" my trade-in device
I used the trade-in offer for my Iphone X 64GB for the IPhone 12 Pro Max in retail, which the product was mailed to me a week after. The same day that I received the new phone, I had dropped the trade-in phone (IPhone X) to USPS. On December 2, my tracking depicted that it had arrived at the warehouse. A week later I never got the rebate I was told I would receive and I decided to call them. They said there would be an investigation in which 5 days later (December 10) I received an email that they did not have any information that they received the trade-in. I clearly did return it, so what am I supposed to do now. I am still receiving messages that I have to return the phone despite messaging the team multiple times. All their responses were to wait. This is making me go insane.Solved8.3KViews1like45ComentariosS22 Ultra not showing up in trade in list
I'm trying to trade in my S22 ultra 5G for a new phone. Ever since the update, I have no service where I should have it and I'm over it. When I type in my IMEI, it takes me to a screen to type in my model number, but the S22 ultra 5G doesn't show up in the list. My model number is SM-S908U1. How am I supposed to trade in my phone if it doesn't show up in the list? Is that model number popping up for anyone else?310Visto1like4ComentariosTrade in device delivered by USPS but not received by T-Mobile
I made a switch to T-Mobile and ported my number as a part of the promotional plan in which T-Mobile gives $830 in bill credits on trading in an eligible device. ORDER NUMBER: 510105087150 ORDER DATE: 05/04/2021 TRADE IN DEVICE - Apple iPhone XS 64GB Grey - T-Mobile TRADE IN DEVICE SERIAL NUMBER - 356171095437470 USPS TRACKING NUMBER - 9202090284184807698551 Trade-in device was mailed by me using the shipping label(which did not have insurance on it) sent by T-mobile . The device was delivered successfully to the shipping address at 7:34 pm on May 18, 2021. After more than 2 months T-mobile is saying that they never received the device. I checked back with USPS and they opened a service request - 28968110 and confirmed that the package was successfully delivered. T-mobile has now taken off my promotion and making me to pay in full, for the new device. T-mobile is making me accountable for this loss and says theycan't do anything.Solved2.6KViews1like5ComentariosT-mobile refusing to give me my credits from a promotion I qualified for
Just a heads-up, this will be very long. Don't know how to tldr In late May, I decided to migrate from sprint to t-mobile because there was a running promotion that stated that I can receive a free Galaxy S21 in the form of $800recurring credits over the span of 24 months if I opened a new line (didnt matter which plan) and traded in an eligible phone that would qualify for them. So I went with my brother to a local t-mobile store to trade in my S10 and his iPhone X; both phones qualified for the $800 trade in promotion. My brother is the account holder and has been a loyal sprint customer for something like 5 years at this point so his account was in good standing, therefore he qualified for the promotion. My brother had to mail his phone out for the trade-in because it wasn't fully paid off but in the end, we both received the S21's at the store. The problem, however, was that T-Mobile sent the mailing kit to our previous address (we had moved a few months earlier) and it didn't occur to us until about 2 weeks later. My brother went to the store to inform them of the situation but they said they couldn't do anything on their end because his PIN wasn't working or something, and that in order to reset it he had to wait 30 days. He waited 30 days and went back to the store, same issue, only this time the staff couldn't even sign into my brother's account because they were getting the same errors we were getting when trying to access the site ("Whoops! Looks like our wires are crossed!") At this point we've noticed that we're being charged for each of the phones. I call customer care and I learn that the promotion was never applied to the account. They told me because one of the 2 phones weren't traded in, the promotion didn't take effect on any level. So I traded in my s10 for free essentially. However, after lots of back and forth, they finally applieda lump sum of $350, which will be part of the $500 in credits I'll be recieving for theCURRENT trade-in promotion, instead of the $800 in credits I was supposed to receive from the promotion at the time (late may). Keep in mind, the current $800 trade promotion requires you to start a new Magenta MAX line, when before the magenta type did not matter. Customer caretold me the promotion I was talking about was available only for 1 day, and that it was a typo on T-Mobile's end. I did a lot of research before going through with the trade in and that particular promotion was being talked about A LOT on forums and on Redditfor a couple of months, so what the supervisor from customer care was telling me was blatantly untrue. Not only that, but I can see the promotions from previous dates on Wayback Machine! I'll post the links, and even attach some screenshots. 1. This is what the CURRENT promotion looks like: https://www.t-mobile.com/offers/samsung-phone-deals Note the "MAX" 2.This is what the promotion looked like when I applied. https://web.archive.org/web/20210523051210/https://www.t-mobile.com/offers/samsung-phone-deals Note the absence of "MAX" 3. As a reference, this was the ORIGINAL promotion from February. https://web.archive.org/web/20210208034631/https://www.t-mobile.com/offers/samsung-phone-deals Note the absence of needing to activate anew line There's a pattern. As time went on, the more stringent the promotion became. I understand that my brother should have been more preemptive on his end, but I get the short end of the stick here because I traded in my phone hoping I'd be getting recurring credits for 2 years that would essentially be paying off the S21, but instead the lump sum I received will be going towards the entire phone bill, and will cover the total cost for about 2 months, which means I still have to pay off my S21 for the remainder of the 24 months anyways. The fact that all of these agents and that one particular idiot of a supervisor keep telling me that that promotion never existed is infuriating me. What can I do? Can i file a claim or something? I feel misled, cheated,and taken advantage of. Thanks in advance to anybody who decides to help5.9KViews1like20ComentariosMath doesn't add up
Dear Customer service, I am new to T-Mobile and I am enjoying the service. But I have a few questions concerning my account and the invoices. I am on the Go5g 55+ for 2 lines for 90.00 plus 11.25 each for a total of the month for 112.50. I got a trade in credit of 275.00 for each I phone 13 pro for a total credit of 550.00. The cost of the new phones I phone 15 pro is 1099.99 each for a total of 2199.98. I also recieved P716 Apple Activate ID 240197 which is 45.84 - 23.13 = 22.71 for each phone. If you take 23.13 and multiply by 24 months equals 555.12 for each iphone for a total of 1,110.25 add with 550.00 (trade in credit for phone) a grand total credit of 1,660.25 for both phones. Now the cost of the news phones is 2199.98 and subtract 1,660.25 equals 539.73 or what I owe for both phones. That is not what my statement is saying. If you divide this 539.73 by half which is 269.86 for each phone. Then divide that by 24 months I should be paying 11.24 each month for each phone. But I am being charged 22.71 for each phone. I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks, Sharon Raymer194Visto1like3Comentarios
