Reviews and Complaints

T-Mobile is terrible and they are nothing but bunch of lazy scammers! They do not keep their promises and don't care about their customers! My phone was stolen and I reported that to T-Mobile. They asked for some additional information about the case and I told them everything and gave all the information I had. They said they'll call me back as soon as they think of something. Well they never called me back! I waited for over two weeks and contacted them myself and they said "sorry but there is nothing we can do to help"! T-Mobile is the worst provider ever!

Over the pass months I've been having complications with T-Mobile and their billings! Being a customer of theirs for more than 10 years, just having heart surgery and a son that suffers from asthma they just turned off my phone from T-Mobile broken promises, now we have no source of contact in case of an EMERGENCY. I had so many issues with my phone, T-Mobile representative gave me a second phone at no charge but yet I'm billed for the phone and now without service because they say I owe for the phone plus for the bill and the late fees, really? After speaking with you guys on a monthly basis, you making the decisions...now just before Christmas and in my condition you just leave us with no communication source? Told I would have to pay an enormous fee unless there would be no phone connection. Just having struggled through HURRICANE MATTHEW and just having HEART SURGERY why now T-mobile decides to come up with all these hidden fees and disconnects my services unless the high payment is PAID? After going thru 7 representatives this morning "December 2, 2016" through T-Mobile and spending hours on the phone, I get "Sorry ma'am, how much of this bill will you be able to pay?" You would have to pay $400.00 or else there would be no other option. Unfortunately T-Mobile after 10 years with you guys, I rather deal with a con artist on the streets than to pay a con artist "T-Mobile" which is suppose to be in business to accommodate their clients as long as the correct bill is paid. Check you employees and the broken promises that have been made each month I contacted you. Isn't every conversation recorded? Go back and double check what was told to me and abide by that before you leave us helpless without phone communication. "T-MOBILE YOU SUCK!"

I will be reporting to BBB, The Complaint Board and [redacted]! After coming from Verizon 3 months ago my bill has been $50.00 more a month than quoted. I sat on hold for an hour, was hung up on twice, and was never given a supervisor as I requested. From the start I had faulty equipment, had it replaced with faulty equipment, then ended up having to pay for equipment that was supposed to be free. I have a long history of customer care and have never treated someone like I've been treated. And my bill is still wrong! Very disappointed!

I think that is more easy to understand the issue putting the conversation and all steps did,

Ryan L: Don't worry, let us process it right now so you will be able to have a working device.
Ryan L: Can you provide me the IMEI of the device, please?

You: plan start date- June 30/2016
Ryan L: May I ask where you have bought the device?
You: The device sent me via fedex= Tmobile
Ryan L: Thanks for the information, please hang on.
You: ok
Ryan L: Thanks for waiting, Brigida. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but while processing the exchange and checking the device order, the device is not directly supported by t-mobile. But don't worry, you can still file a warranty exchange, but you need to contact Samsung directly to process it for you. Here is the number to call: [protected]
You: honey this account is new and t mobile send me the phone
You: really, do you know, I will cancel my account and I will come back att
Ryan L: I do really understand that, Brigida. No worries, even thought-mobile can't process an exchange for you, the device is still under warranty through Samsung. So sorry about this trouble, Brigida.
This is my conversation
Really, I surprised, never think that I will have problem
Ryan L: I wish I could do more and process this for you, Brigida, and we don't want you to feel that way. The device is still under warranty and you will still be able to process warranty since the device still has a warranty, we just can't process it through our end since the device was processed indirectly through a different medium for ordering. No worries, you can process a warranty exchange directly through Samsung.
You: Ok Ryan, Thanks, I will contact Samsung but also If I am paying monthly to TMOBILE for the phone, why is the reason which I need to contact Samsung if the phone is not complete pay, I am paying 5, 99 each month for it to T-MOBILE
You: AND ALSO WHY DO NOT tell ME ANY YESTERDAY
You: I HAVE NOW 4 DAYS WITHOUT the service and I am sure that TMOBILE WILL CHARGE COMPLETE

Thank you for sending me that conversation, Briggie! I definitely see where you're coming from and I want to get this phone working for you as soon as possible. I see that they were trying to do a warranty exchange for the device, but I need to know why the phone isn't working. Is it not turning on? Is it freezing on certain screens? Let me know what's happening with the device and I will get this fixed up for you as soon as possible! 🙂 *KatW
Not, the phone stay on the white page that said mobile and vibrate, that its

So it's freezing during boot up? *NathanB
The tech of TMOBILE told me to re-started
and after that do not do any
and now request I need to call to SAMSUNG when I am paying monthly for his phone to TMOBILE
My husband has a medical condition and needs his phone, and now any person helped me.

Today October 12, I do not receive any, when I entered to check the bill until today, show that I do not have any problems and both phones is working properly and to complete, they offered me that they will pay the charges and last bills of my prior company ATT in 8 weeks effective June 30, 2016, until today do not pay ATT and when I checked the status, do not recognize my information

I brought my samsung galaxy s7 edge not even a year, the back of the phone lifting and not even work any more. I called for replacement, the customer service told me when I got the phone is brand new how can it turned out like now. My answer was maybe the phone is hot during charging and that is happened. It was lucky that is not exposed. My phone is not even year and it is still under warranty also I have insurance for the phone, I don't called for claim the phone if working fine . I have no phone to use when it happened like that. They came up with a stupid solution sent a replacement phone that is samsung note 3 that I had 3 years ago, not the samsung s7 edge that is damaged

We noticed 4 unauthorized charges on our bank card by vesta who will not help or refund the money. They keep on asking for our card number which we didnt have because our wallet was stolen... We have called t mobile and vesta and no help what so ever. Horrible customer service. Be carefull ! these are liars, cheaters, and they steal peoples money...

I bought a new Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge phone from Tmobile, and i received a phone with a cracked screen.T mobile promised they will replace the phone and then changed their mind.They said it is to late and cannot do it. I show them it is within 14 days and they have to replaced it.Spoke with multiple customer reps, last one being Tim 53410 ID, called me from [protected].

Address where business is located : T-Mobile US, Inc. 12920 SE 38th St Bellevue, WA 98006

I returned a replacement phone that was sent to me by T-Mobile, because Apple exchanged my faulty i-phone for no charge in the store. Called T-mobile and was instructed to return the replacement phone in the original cover. So I did, using UPS as instructed, got a delivery receipt. Nonetheless, T-Mobile charged me $540 restocking fee claiming they did not receive the phone. All my efforts to speak with an agent lead nowhere. They come back with a standard line saying they don't find my phone -- while actually they need to look for their replacement phone instead. For now, stuck with paying $540 for something I returned and have proof that I returned. Is court the last resort?

It took me almost four hours to complete their ridiculous assessment. I did a great job, however! Days later they sent me an automatic email reply "while there wasn't a match between you qualification and this role, we hope you'll keep exploring our game changing opportunities." There's no option to respond whatsoever.

What a bias.

I am tech smart, i have a technology youtube channel and i've been fixing phones for years now.

I also have a computer science degree. If I do not qualify, then who does? They need to be scrutinized properly. You can't waste someone's time like that.

Purchased 3 devices during 2015 black Friday sale. 2 Samsung Galaxy s6 rebate stated 250 Costco cash card for each phone and 25 cash cards for each device. Waited the full 14 weeks to finally receive the three 25 cash cards but nothing else. Went online like directed to Stuart Lee rebates and file claim to no avail it was the most incompetent website I've ever experienced with no human contact and an automated response.

Called original store to ask for help didn't get far. Went to local store and customer service was a complete joke guy stated there were no rebates in those amounts during the time, insinuated I was lying about all of the amounts. I wouldn't leave so he eventually did his job to look up the rebates and found, ta- dahhh alllllllll the rebates I stated were there in bold. He then claimed he didn't know how to do an escalation for the cash cards to come back and see his manager a few days later. ? So I come back and am hit with the same hostility from the manager Jesse (I have several anxiety so u can imagine what a nightmare this all is to BEG for my money back.) Once again he finally agrees to do his job call the original store and ask for the 250 for each phone to be escalated. I heard these words ok. So he says it's done I'll receive it in the mail. No he can't tell me when I'll expect them...lol I received them a month later at 225 each.

Serious? when will the madness stop? I go back to the forsaken store talk to a new guy because the other guy (no the the manager) refuses to acknowledge me. He then is the literal worst experience and actually argues with me that I'm wrong the amount was never 250 there were never rebates for the 25 cash cards off any devices, then says well u got ur money the 225 plus the 25 cash cards equates to 250. I explode and tell him all of u are treating me like I'm trying get to steal money when this was in ur black Friday sale! I just want my money back I'll never do business with u people again. So he calls the original store to go ahead and complain about me in the face to the manager who agrees that I'm already up to date with my amount and they can see if 'they' can escalate my request. The ridiculous part is nobody ever disagreed about the 250 amount due until this last guy, who mentioned that their rebates papers changed in November.

So all in all this is the worst scam ever and I'll be contacting both stores dm to make sure they understand the importance of customer service and lack thereof. I can't believe how I was treated.

I regret that I've decided to switch to T-Mobile, the whole thing and their service, everything is terrible. And when I really needed to get some help and advice from them regarding my bill they did not help!
I actually spoke with three different reps and no one was able to help me, or how should I tell, no one wanted to help. Every time I called they promised my issue would be resolved, but it wasn't.
I'm very disappointed with T-Mobile and I guess it's time to think about switching to another and more reliable company!

I cancelled the T-MOBILE account and returned a new tablet within 4-5 days of purchase. T-MOBILE threatened collections and refused to cancel / credit account.

I told T-MOBILE they will make my FDCPA Fair Debt Collection attorney very happy.

T-MOBILE claimed $0 balance now.

This company is the worst ever! They charge me as much as they want for no reason! At first I thought there was some sort of mistake, but then I received another bill of $250. They never said that I will be charged extra for any changes I made. I contacted their support many times, and things they said made no sense. They said that I was charged for international calls. What calls? Their costumer service is absolutely disgusting and disrespectful! These people are not human! I am changing my phone company! Stay away from T-Mobile.

T mobile is the worst when it comes to customer service. I signed up in October 2015 online by purchasing 3 phones. The next day after receiving the phones by mail we stopped by a T-Mobile store and picked up 3 new phones to replace the 3 we got online. We were told to mail the phones in which we did. Later we were told that they did not receive the phones and began charging us for 6 phones. My wife had prolonged call with them and they first told her they did not receive the phones and then later told her that they did and would discontinue the charges. Now here in February I noticed that they started charging us for 6 phones again in December 2015 and January 2016. I called the office on February 11, 2016 and was told that they never received the phones that was returned in October. They were rude and then I was put on hold for over 20 minutes by a 2nd person, then a 3rd person came on the call and asked me can she help me. At this time I could not believe it since she had no recollection of any conversation I had with the other 2 individuals and thought I was just now calling in for the first time. Once this issue is resolved I will have to consider whether I want to just pay the balance of what I owe on these phones and get away from T-Mobile. I was with Verizon for years and their phone customer service was great even though the plans were high. If I had read these complaints on this web site first I would never had purchased phones from T-Mobile.

Bought LG450 phone from T-Mobile on 1/23/16. After over 2 hours on the phone with techs from T-Mobile and LG found out that there is no way to turn off the vibe feature when placing a call. When I call someone I get vibration on my phone before they answer. Extremely annoying and found out today, unchangeable. To return a $60 phone I have to pay a $50 restocking fee. I'm retired and living on low fixed income and the $60 I paid for the phone is all I can afford. PLEASE tell consumers about this annoying feature that cannot be changed before they buy the phone. Had I known I would not have bought the phone. Now I'm stuck with it.

VERY dissatisfied with this phone and would not recommend it to my worst enemy. Who came up with this idea? (vibration when calling someone) CRAZY! They need to be fired!

Please let me know if there is a solution for this problem.

T-Mobile Customer

I called to have my daughters phone deactivated, because it had been stolen and asked when she received a new phone could the plan be transferred. The representative said it could. I called this month to have the plan transferred and T-Mobile wanted to give my daughter $23. Well, I sent a complaint to the BBB. Love in the T-Mobile executive office called 11/10/15 and I return the call asking that she call me earlier in the day as I worked late in the evening and would not be available. She did not. Love in the executive office of T-Mobile called saying she was sorry for calling so late even after I asked that she call within a certain time period. I called her at 9:45 am the next day as we agreed and guess what. She did not answer the phone. I left two more messages and still no return calls. T-Mobile customer service is terrible and their executive office is the same. I will be taking this to the next level to make sure my daughter gets her plan transferred to the new phone.

After talking to some well connected IT folks, it appears that select T-Mobile cell towers are acting very suspiciously. About 1-2 weeks ago, out of the blue, my emails would not send or receive, not could I get to https servers for other applications on my cell phone. This only happens within a few miles of my house. When I travel outside my direct area (suburban SF Bay Area) to San Jose or SF, my cell phone works perfectly. I can get my email and other server data. The IT folks I talked to had seen this before and ran tests proving that SSL, TSL, and https data communications were being halted at the tower. The symptoms act like a time out error. If I switch to WiFI, all my problems go away, so this is definitely a TMO tower issue. So, TMO is not providing the data I have purchased and I can't find anyone that has enough brain power to understand what I am saying and forward me to a department that can fix the issue. The data my IT folks had collected was enough to get TMO to fix the tower they found issues with.

I was/am very dissatisfied with the Galaxy III, that I purchased for my 13 year old daughter for Christmas/2014. The phone has never worked properly, and after numerous (3) trips to the t-mobile store and 3 trips to UPS to return defected phones I finally asked if there were any other phones similar to the one I purchased that could replace that brand. Unfortunately, I was told by the customer service rep. over the phone that I could purchase another phone for approximately 180.00 more dollars, She also stated that the phones had manufacturer malfunctions that they (t-mobile) could not fix. Does this mean that t-mobile is knowingly selling phones that they know are defective? What ever happened to meeting the customers needs? I followed their process 3 times, only to get phones that were worse than the one before.
