Reviews and Complaints

When I went to store I was upgrading my phone I asked for the moto g stylus and their computer wouldn't let her sell it I guess all metros we're having this issue and she talked me into another phone. I don't like it can't exchange it and didn't get the one I wanted I'm really upset I didn't get phone I went for because issue they had.

I bought a motorola pure g because 2 days prior, someone had reached into my truck and stole my phone... fine and dandy...

5 days later my new motorola phone was at 17% and I forgot my charger, so I powered off the phone. after a while I turned phone on and it somehow was stuck on boot mode... so, I followed some YouTube directions to no avail... now it's is stuck on 'no boot available' screen. so I took to the exact place where I purchased, and the cashier lady said it is gonna take 3-5 business days to warrenty unit... so, they are for real... I'm phone less bcuz they sold me a piece of junk. now I gotta wait for a replacement phone, why wasn't I told that in the begining,? could they have given me another one of their hunk of junk phones? I think they should've. and now I wait for a replacement hunk of junk. maybe this time I won't put too many email accounts on the newest phone I receive, I know now these Motorola phones are lame. that's all. good day,

I purchased a cell phone from Metro by T Mobile at 8117 Staples Mill Road Henrico Virginia 23228 on Wednesday May 4th 2022 I was not told the charger was not included. When I called the store Andrea the nasty sales lady stated I had to buy it seperate. I don't drive so I had to ask my friend to take me. I was sold the Tech 21 Wall Charger with a 2 year warranty for $30.00. Went home and plugged the phone in to charge and the charger caught on fire. Called the store

and was told by Andrea there was nothing she could do.

I sent an email to Tech 21 and was told the store was suppose to stand behind

this product. I had to go to another Metro location to purchase another wall charger. It was not a Tech 21 and it was only $26.00. I have the charger that caught on fire the box and the receipt. So I had to spend $57.00 in order to get a charger that works. All I am asking is a refund of $31.80 for the burned charger.

Guy's, Please help us out. The hotspot internet is bad. We use hotspots for both

wireless internet for desktop and phones.

Thanks for anything you can do.

Cannot get on internet except in rare short time spurts due to poor connection. Used to be very reliable until they merged w larger company. Now I get access only by Wifi. 100s of calls and a new phone did nothing. I did business at the store on Roosevelt in Forest Park, Il since 2018

Afterno service and no results in more than seven hours of phone time and being passed around to service reps , nothing has changed. When I thought a resolution was being provided, I would get switched to another rep and start from square one with no results. Ticket number INC1386345 NO CUSTOMER SERVICE PROVIDED I FELT LIKE PEOPLE WERE HANDLING ME WITHOUT CONSIDERATION OF THIS PHONE WAS FOR AN ELDERLY SISTER

I bought a phone in july of 2021, after 8 months the internal storage ran out so on april 02 2022 I went to a metro pcs store at 1440 Forest Avenue Staten Island, NY 10302 DCA #2081102

I was pressed for time and annoyed that a purchase only 8 months old led me to having to purchase another phone. The sales person was not helpful, she kept wanting to sell me a new line and or a 5g phone. I decliined many many times and I purchased a MOTO G PURE 32G - I explained my situation to Juliet and finally I purchased the MOTO G PURE 32 G. I then showed up on sunday april 3,2022 to exchange my phone. it was 24 hours later. immediately she said that they dont accept returns. I informed her of my receipt stating I have 14 days to return. she then said to come back in an hour. I responded NO. Appalled I asked why should I have to come back. She explained her supervisor was not answering her. I still refused. I then called customer service to complain about my situation I was told my Gayem #3310384 (thecustomer service rep) to come back tomorrow. Appalled again I said no, I am not coming back. No where is it indicated that only certain things can be performed at this store or any restricition. I then escalated the call to a manager at metropcs csr srvc 800 number. I spoke with a Jean and filed a complaint over situation. I was giving the complaint number or ref id #[protected] and was told I will recieve a call back in 24 hours. then, I explained to Juliet, the employee that I dealt with on 4/2/22 that I want an exchange for a phone. there was no way to test said item before my purchase. I wanted a phone with at least 64 GB because the moto phone will not allow you to put downloaded apps on the sd card. someone called the store and asked for JUliet to ss my receipt. to my surprise in tiny tiny print it says upgrades can not be exchanged, returned or refunded. the sales rep never informed me of this. nor told me I was doing an upgrade. she was not helpful and kept pushing me to a 5g phone. then when I was almost ready to leave the store on 4/2/22 I asked if she had 5g and how she liked it and she said she did not like it. yet she was trying to coax me into purchasing something she has and does not like? I thought I was dealing with a trusted advisor. I have been a customer for over 11 years. I pay my bill on time every month. I feel this was a bait and switch. and I will be leaving this company once I either get full refund or my exchange to a better phone that will most likely make spend more money. being told to come back is highly unproffesional. and I feel like my situation and business is not valued. I intend on following thru with this situation and filing a complaint with BBB.

They have repeatedly refused to pick up the phone when the service they are offering and I payed for does not work! 4/2/2022

First off I am on the EBB program and have been since the start of. And when it switch the the ACB program I was told by metro and ACB I didnt need to do anything that my enrollment would be automatically switch. And it wasn't and when I tried to call someone I was told it would adjust by one person. But when it didnt I called back and was treated like a was stupid. And when I try to pay my Bill's with my Card I have chime and it wouldn't let me. It wont ever accepts my cards. I even order a new one cause it says invalid card. But it still doesn't work. They told me to fo to the store and pay. Ya pay 5 dollars more to pay my bill. I am on Disability and feel like I was treated wrong because I have issue understanding foriegn ppl. It hard for me to understand what they are even trying to tell me what to do. I just feel like they was trying to take advantage of me I have been with metro for at least 3 yrs and will be switching when I get a new phone.

My Mom Phone was not working, I took it the to metro PCS to find out what was the problem with the phone. I was told that the phone was damaged and I needed a knew phone so I bought the Phone from Metro. When I bought the phone I was never told that by purchasing the phone I'm locked in (phone lock) for a period of 180 days before, before they will unlock the phone. I was never told that).

First I'd like to say I record all my calls and in addition have screenshot proof. For months since 2021 October, I have had connection issues, dropped calls 8x in 21 minutes, lagged calls ( the person I called back will answer then the call drops and they get two extra calls I never made. The calls register on my phone recorder app however a a zero minute call, which is impossible and I never called them more than once.), reps who placed me on a long mute and then hung up on me, managers who lied to me and told me to buy a new device, offered a refund under false pretenses, given a refund for 1 month, lied to again by Angel from twitters Metro page. These again are my issues. Now I'm told to go back to the store with my brand new device because it's my phone again?! Then Angel said they don't offer service refunds without fixing the issue first. This is a bold lie since I was issued one in December of 2021, despite not having the issue resolved. I checked online and many are having this same issue. So I know it's a known issue, yet they told me to buy a new device. I am currently working on a FCC complaint and I'm getting a consumer lawyer if anyone is seeking representation.

My dad purchased this phone on February 28th and yesterday March 2, it started crackling through the speaker when he used the voice activated prompts like Home Screen, his contact list, etc. my dad is an elderly blind man so he needs to hear the phone speak to be able to navigate and use the phone. Today, he brought it into the Metro by T-mobile store in Berea, Ohio where he purchased it. The employee was accusing my dad of getting the phone wet, which it never was near any liquid and that he would have to have phone sent out to have it checked. Mind you, this was only 4 days after he purchased the phone and well within his time frame to return the phone. My dad did not allow Michael to keep his phone after he took the battery out and powered it back on, it seems to be working without the annoying crackling. I myself heard the phone crackling out of nowhere yesterday when he was attempting to use it.

This treatment of an elder with a disability is so inappropriate and unprofessional. I wanted this complaint on record in case the phone does act up again and it happens after his time frame to return. This employee should be working where he doesn’t have to deal with people or customer satisfaction because he failed in our eyes!

Sincerely,

Donna G.

So we are not getting any internet. It was working. Says DNS address could not be found.

It seems every year my phone uncharges and I made to get a new one:all of the sudden the last year I can't get help from customer service over the phone, I can't get help from technical support, I'm constantly being disconnected, I'm given wrong phone numbers to call, I went to the store to have my phone fixed and was made to buy a new phone that doesn't work at all and was told I could return it within 7 days, I had to pay for a ride to go back to the store in less than 7 days and was told that I have to keep the new phone: and now I am unable to get help with my new phone. This company has become the worst.

I have a Samsung S10 preowned phone after going to the store who's main idea of Support is to sell you another phone.

I called the Metro/T mobile support, after being on the phone for a good hour searching for menus that I didn't have, She put me through to Samsung, as you probably guessed they had to call me back another hour on the phone, and they said you need to go back to your provider. Does nobody know how to solve Phone problems any more. Samsung even asked me if I had phone insurance. And suggested I go back to my provider who transferred my call to Samsung

The problem.

1/ The phone works fine as far as I am concerned.

2/ I have an error message "Activation incomplete" Activate your device, please, please wait while we activate your device. Then I get Activation Incomplete, Please contact your service provider to activate your device for service, connection Error (6601)

So please what do I do now ?

Please comment

Hotspot internet is very slow. We have two Alcatel LinkZone2 hotspots and we switch them occasionally if 1 is slow but even that is not working. Usually they do some sort of reset and that fixes the issue and we don't change anything on our end.

Phones ending in 1130 & 6619 have weak signals
