Rip off company
Bought mobile broadband for my Mum as an easier option to regular broadband to a fixed landline. Done an online check and it said that our postcode was fine for the broadband facility and would get a good service. Bought the item and paid £10.00 for a top up as we opted for the pay as you go option. Item arrived the next day and sadly it didn't work. Broadband service was very slow and kept disconnecting. My fiance gave t-mobile a phone the next day to inform them of this and they didn't want to know. However, after a bit they agreed to a full refund and would send a faulty goods packet for us to send the usb back to them. This packet took ages in coming and when it did we sent it back on the 13/01/2009. We were told that two weeks from then we should expect a refund for the amount told but two weeks had came and no refund. We rang t-mobile again and they said that they had no record of the refund. So we had to explain everything all over again and was told that we have to wait another two weeks. Two weeks came and went again NO refund. It is now March and t-mobile are still messing us about with the refund. The last conversation we had with them they said we couldn't have a refund as the item was used. We argued that the item had to be used in order for us to tell them that it didn't work and secondly, they said we were not entitled to the £10.00 top up as a refund because it had been used. That's impossible because on their website it states that a £10.00 top up lasts for one week. I am now awaiting for the refund to go again and the two weeks are nearly up again and again no sign of a refund. I just don't understand why I can't have a refund when I am entitled to one. T-mobile are awful and are holding my money when they have no right too when the item didn't work.

bad customer service/phone service
Since I purchased my pre-paid cell phone from T-mobile I started getting calls for another party. I told the caller each time they had the wrong number, with one caller making the statement "she must have changed her number." It was apparent I had been given a number from a previous customer. Eventually it stopped for awhile, but in late 2008 through now the calls have been escalating again, with my getting text messages and voicemails for the same person, some sounding like collection agencies. I called T-Mobile customer service and after explaining my problem got their usual annoying response of "what would you like us to do for you today?" That really gets me. If I had the solution myself why would I be calling them? She said all they could do was change my number, which I reluctantly went along with. When my phone was reactivated in 24 hours after the change, I had a text message from an unknown number with no name. A few days later I got a voicemail for someone else from a clinic and a call from a company with a recording that "you need to renew your auto warranty right away and this is your final reminder." None of these calls or the text message were for me, but were directed towards another party. I called T-Mobile and told the customer rep, Grace, what happened. She was totally rude. She tried to tell me the calls/text were mistakes or coincidences. She tried to say there was nothing in my history showing I got the calls/text and when I tried to say I had proof as they were all on my cell phone, she cut me off and went on about how she gets wrong numbers all the time and it's no big deal, etc., blah, blah, blah. I cut her off and said I was going with another service provider ASAP and hung up on her. I never want anything to do with these people again. The first customer rep I spoke with said "you should be happy you aren't gettin obscene, harrassing calls like some of our other customers." After reading some of the billing issues here, I'm glad I was a pre-paid customer, but I'll never do business with them again.

Unauthorized charges
I have been a loyal customer of T-mobile for 5 yrs +, and payed my bill on time always. I recently changed my coverage to Sprint for better coverage, & discount through employer. I verified that I was not breaking my contract with T-mobile and advised I was fine. I payed off my account thought things we're closed with T-mobile, but still getting phone calls that my account is past due, and then a letter needing $265.00 more dollars. I called billing & customers service today, and was advised that since I kept my old phone number to carry to my new company that I'm being dinged for this outrageous fee. Not one person ever told me about such a charge, and I feel this should have been advised and informed to the customer. I really feel raped with these charges & the fact that I always payed my bill and on time, tried to avoid any issues.

Terrible Service and I had to Pay
I recently had service thru T-Mobile. I had it for about 3 years and 2 sidekicks. Because I had already had phone service with another provider, I just used my Sidekick as a data phone (ie. Texting, Email, Aim, Web, etc) I had not had serviced rendered on a daily basis since August of 2008. I called on a monthly basis troubleshooting with the person and thn inevitably it worked for a good hour or day and then it wouldn't again. It was so frustrating that something that was previously on my side 24/7 was now being left home or let die on a regular basis because I coudn't even use it, it was dead weight. Almost instantly my monthly texting of around 3000 per month went down to 300 not even.
Over the months of me not being able to use my service I had my phone exchanged, I had each representative tell me to change something different and that that fix would be the last and final. All the while I was paying $35-$40 a month for services I didn't even get. Oh I didn't even mention that all the while I would get 100 emails at a time dated back in 2007 or 5000 text messages from when I first opened my account. So when I called in finally to figure out what was going on with my account once and for all I was told that without a doubt it appeared as though I needed to just purchase another sim card. Now I'm sorry but I don't get why I would have to pay for it when it is their fault I wasn't getting service. Hell, my best friend who I convinced to get a sidekick too had perfect service that never had a problem.
Never the less I refused to purchase a new sim card and requested to close my account. I always paid on time and I know I had a bit more time in my contract but what with the fact that they weren't holding up on their end of the bargain, I figured it was within my right. NOPE! I had to speak with about 4 reps and 2 supervisors. The last person I spoke with was very rude. He stated that there was no doubt in his mind that the new sim card would fix everything and if it didn't, then they would just go ahead and replace the phone again, and if that didn't fix it, they would just give me a completely different model phone for free or atleast at a discounted rate. This while time that he's saying this all I'm thinking is, ok and this is all the while when I'm paying the monthly charges on the hope that it works, and he confirmed it and said "of course".
Now at this point I had already paid about $280, minimal over the last 7 months of not receiving service and they weren't willing to do anything for me regarding the balance. I requested to close my account and all the rep was willing to do was give me a credit for $29.95. He wanted to know if there was anything he could do to keep my service and I stated that if he gave me back atleast most of the money I had already paid I would consider it but he was unwilling and instead charged me a cancelation fee of $200.
He was completely rude. I explained to him that it was unfair that I should get penalized for canceling the service to something that I wasn't even receiving service for. They weren't holding up their end of the bargain so I didn't feel they really wanted me as a customer.
Inevitably I just closed my account and sold my phone to my friend that had a sidekick because mine was better. Now I am with sprint full time as I was in a family plan with my mom previously and just upgraded my phone to a blackberry and am going to give her the money I was giving them previously. I just can't believe how they treated me and didn't even own up to the fact that they screwed up and with the tough times that everyone is going thru, they couldn't even cut me a break.

Overage/Customer Service
I have been a long-time customer of TMobile, utilizing its services since 2002. My dispute began as a result of a billing error that TMobile refused to address.
For most of 2008, I used the unlimited text messaging service. I switched to the 1000 month before switching back unlimited after incurring overage charges. I spoke with a TMobile rep who confirmed the service change which would reflect the following billing cycle.
About 2 billing cycles later, I was shocked to find an excess ~$300 charged through autopay. I checked my account online to find that the ~$300 was for text overages and in addition, another cycle had just completed with ~$200 in overages.
I contacted customer service about the overages as I had requested months earlier to change back to unlimited texts. The rep bounced me around before my call was taken by another rep who informed me they had no record of the request. I attempted to reason with her, stating I received confirmation and that my phone usage would not have changed so dramatically otherwise. When she failed to resolve my problem, I requested to speak with a supervisor who she said would call me within 24 hours.
When no call came, I contacted customer service again. I was told that they would not be able to help me since my account was tagged to speak with a supervisor only earlier that day and it would take at least another 72 hours for a callback.
Days passed with no callback so I reported to the BBB in hopes of expediting a resolution. Shortly after, I received a call from a supervisor in response to my BBB complaint. I thought we'd be able to resolve the issue but instead I was surprised to find that the rep was rude and disrespectful, repeatedly speaking over me whenever I attempted to explain the situation. The rep refused to address my issues, instead vehemently maintaining that it was "fault".
I pointed out that it made no sense that my phone usage would change so dramatically unless I requested the change in my text plan. I further stated that I'd been using TMobile for several years, I have no record of non-payment, complaints, or any other blemishes. I implored him to check his records as I am sure there would be records of my request if they recorded the phone calls as they claimed.
The rep ignored me and offered me $200 goodwill credit despite knowing it was my "fault". I declined the offer, stating that it isn't fair to have a loyal customer pay for a TMobile representative's mistake. I told him I hope to be able to resolve the dispute without resorting litigation to which he responded by scoffing, and telling me he would see me in court and report my answer to the BBB.
I made another attempt to contact TMobile via email, and again they offered me a small credit, refusing to address my issues or even the unruly rep I encountered. I maintained my position, stating that I was promised a service by a rep of TMobile, which I did not receive, and as a result incurred costs I wouldn't have otherwise. Again, the rep refused to address my issues.
To my surprise upon sharing my plight with TMobile mistakes and their horrendous customer service, I met several other customers who have experienced similar problems who are also disputing with TMobile and encountering horrible customer service. Like me, I know many people has left or intend to leave TMobile.
One would think that after paying for their services for so many years, the least they could do was hear me out for a few minutes. It really does make you wonder whatever happened to that old saying "the customer's always right". I guess maintaining consumer confidence is no longer the primary concern for Corporate America, most notably, TMobile.

Awful experience
Here is a summary of the problems I have had with T-Mobile (I will never go back to them! I am now happily with AT&T!
1) they lied to me the moment i got the plan. i was told that my phone (it was a 'flex pay' account) would work in Europe which was the only reason i was switching over to t-mobile from Unicel... well. surprise surprise the phone did not work, apparently the flexpay account doesn't work overseas even though i loaded up the account with like $200 like the sales associate at t-mobile at Mall of America told me to do for it to work. so i had to spend a bunch of money on calling cards and new sim cards with crazy long German phone numbers so i could use my phone...
2) they lied to me and told me that me and my bf's phone would not have unlimited calls between them even though we had a family plan (whats the point of a family plan then...?) and that we would have to put each other in our fave5. and then i see commercials on tv saying that with fave5 you talk unlimited to family members and each family member also gets 5 faves besides that...
3) they lied to me and told me that me and my boyfriend had to get the fave5 family plan because that was all that t-mobile had now. only thats not true...
4) everytime i called their customer service about a problem i was having they would say something to make me happy, like it will be fixed within an hour or whatever, then when i would call back a few hours later someone else would tell me that what the other associate had told me was not possible because they 'don't do that' (see example in reason #6)
5) when we found out we didn't need 'fave5' on our phones we called them and told them to take it off our plan. they said they did. months later (we didn't get statements so we couldn't see all the charges broken up or we would have noticed earlier...) we realized they never took it off... or the unlimited texting which we requested be taken off months earlier.
6) my last month with t-mobile we were not able to make the full payment at the time so we called them and asked if it would be possible to keep our phones activated and we would have the payment within a couple of days (i was searching for a second job at the time so i really needed my phone on for jobs to contact me!) they said oh yeah of course, they would be back on in half an hour. our phones were not turned back on...we called and they told us that they couldn't do that. okay thats fine i understand, but just the fact that they lied to us really pissed me off.
heres a tip, complain and complain and complain and tell them that you don't like being lied to, mention you will contact the Better Business Bureau about their horrible service and they will drop you without any fees within an hour! worked for me! they told me there was nothing i could do, no one else i could talk to about it, i mentioned BBB, they IMMEDIATELY gave me the t-mobile presidents email, i sent her an e-mail about all this shit and mentioned BBB at the end and she called back within 20 minutes saying we were dropped, no charges. :)

Good Customer

Customer Service
I am absolutely disappointed with T-mobile. There is a Shannon (I.D. # 124589) at T-mobile customer service who has been treating customers like DIRT, and accusing customers of being rude and insulting without bases. I heard about her two years ago, and, in fact, a year ago I was there when someone I know had the misfortune of having to speak with her. I had the misfortune of speaking with such a bombastic moron today. Shannon, who is supposedly in customer service, interrogated me on things that she assumed to be the issues of my call, instead of asking for the reason. She also uses nasal tone a lot, and was mean and rude. I remember one argument my friend had with her was about her attitude and professionalism. I now can sympathize with my friend, Shannon does have a rotten attitude and does like to argue with customers. It's a shame that CSR were trained to or allowed to argue with customers, or accuse customers of doing something they did not do.
I had enough of T-mobile customer service people talking to customers in nasal tone. It is rude and unprofessional. And I had enough of T-mobile customer service people's smart alec way of handling and abusing customers. I dreaded ever to have to call T-mobile, but sometimes the need is there. Most of the T-mobile CSR I talked to are in Philippines, and there is generally a communication problem. These people don't listen. You ask them question A, and they answer question %. It seems like they are disseminating standard answers from a handbook. The girl I talked to today made me repeat everything I said several times and still cannot find the correct standard answers from her handbook, but when I asked her to repeat her answer, she would huff & puff about it. So I got really upset and asked to be transferred to someone in the U.S. My call was transferred to Shannon. She was a joke, to be called a CSR.
There was many dead silence from Shannon. Some people mistake rudeness as professionalism, and it is my opinion that I have just talked to someone like that at T-mobile. I don't have the obligation to teach these people how to work properly as a CSR, but T-mobile does. I for one would consider to close my regular wireless service and all my prepaid services with T-mobile when the new guy comes to town (hopefully next year).

Terrible service
I have been with tmobile for about 6 years now and never had an issue. I changed my number in the past few months 12/08 due to a divorce. Ever since then My number shows up on caller ID's as the wrong name. I have talked T-Mobile over 12 times now and they still can not get this issues fixed. I was told today that I need to call the phone companies myself and tell them that they need to change it to read right. I'm not happy with my service and all I'm asking for is for them to release me from my contract. They still will not do this. Just wanted to see if anyone else is having these issues.
