additional fees since T-mobile took over Suncom
T-Mobile charges 20 cents per text message. My 17 year old daughter accumulated a bill of 795.00. I called to cancel service and receive final payment amount. Suncom charged $200.00 total to cancel service which I was prepared to pay. However, T-Mobile is charging $175.00 per phone line which I was not prepared to pay. As a result of canceling service with T-Mobile, I will pay 350.00 to cancel two phone lines. I asked to speak to a supervisor and the woman of course told me their was no one available to speak with me but if I would like someone would call me back within an hour. Of course, this did not happen either. I was not surprised that a supervisor was not available or no one called me back. T-MObile full of surprises.

Caller Id Not Registering My Name When I call out
My boss opened an account for me back in '07, the phone was in his name "Seth Brooks" & he paid for the service. I recently put the T-Mobile phone in my name & address, as my boss wanted to cancel the service. I called T-Mobile November 7, 2008 and made this change & TMobile assured me they would also make sure the caller Id will register in my name, they did explain it would take up to 72 hours for the caller ID to register my name "Lisa Lucero". I checked Tues 11/18/2008 by dialing my home phone # & the caller ID was still registering "Seth Brooks" (my boss)..I then called T-Mobile back & they said they would make sure it would be fixed, and it would be another 72 hours for this to get fixed...I called TMobile again a few days later & let them know the caller Id is still registering "Seth Brooks" name & they verified all my info again & stated they have done all they can on there end & it isn't there problem that I need to call all my friends & family & ask who their phone providers are, and the suggest I call Comcast, Qwest, Vonage Etc...to let them know they have my name registering wrong ...I then became upset & asked for a supervisor, which at that point, they put Duane rep ID#0653238 on the line with me, & he stated that TMobile has ehausted all their efforts in this matter. I feel that I have been unfairly mistreated here & demand that T-Mobile fixes this problem.

sendind mailings to my father that is very ill and barely knows who he is.
Please remove my father's name from your advertising or mailing list. Idenity protection has been placed on my father due to someone trying to use his name and address to get your phone service. The name is Andrew Sampson, 365 Lakeside Pointe, Covington, Ga. 30016. There is several people who has the same name but my father is in his 70's age, another person is Phyllis Sampson who has committed i.d. theft here in Georgia.

Fraudulent activity
I went to a kisok in Brandon, FL. Spoke to some nice enough (although pushy) sales people. I was considering switching my cell phone service from Metro ONLY BECAUSE I was going to be traveling and did not want to hassle with the pre-purchased air time. I was told that I would have unlimited everything (which I had with Metro) including web, voice, text and picture msg and it would not cost me any more than I was currently paying!

As most of you know, you only have 2 weeks to return your phones to T-Mobile but you don't receive a bill for about 6 weeks. Guess what, to get what I had with Metro I would have to pay $168.51 for 2 phones. I think that is ALOT MORE THAN the $104.00 I was paying to Metro PCS without any contract!!!

I tried calling the company to no avail. They said that they can't do anything about what the guys at the kiosk told me about pricing and that their pricing is fixed. They said they COULD LOWER my bill by removing some of the features. Well, that is not what I asked for when I signed up for the service. I could lower my bill at Metro as well if I wanted to give up some of their features.

Please be careful when you're comparing companies (I guess it is OK for the T-Mobile sales folks to lie to consumers as long as they sell the phones and lock you into your two year contract). I am going to go back and talk to the manager of the keosk am waiting on a call back from my attorney!

AWFUL customer service
My nightmare with T-Mobile began on October 28, 2008 mind you up till this point i have been a faithful customer for almost 8 years even through phone issues down towers and yes bad customer service i still remained faithful and hopeful that T-Mobile would go back to being a good company how wrong was i. I made the mistake of making a payment on the phone of 20 dollars on 10/17/08 and stated i would pay the remaining 140 in store on 10/28/08 rep told me fine and this was done 20 immediatley came out of my account on 10/28/08 i took a check in the store for the remaining balance of 140 in the store o 10/28/08 . On 11/04/08 i had to go into the bank and withdraw funds from my account and noticed my account was incorrect i sasked the teller to please show me my accoount she gladly did that when i noticed T-Mobile had done an electronic withdrawal of 140 and cashed my check of 140 i immediately called an the first hting T-Mobile said was ell you going to have a nother bill due in a few days so just leave it i then replied no please refund me my funds of 140 i did not authorize to have funds withdrawn form my account the rep pput me on hold stated she was putting it in the system and i should hear something in 7-10 days by the end of of the day i had occured 2 overdraft fees due this mistake on T-Mobile part that is an extra 64 dollars out of my account so now my running total that i have lost due to T-Mobile is 204 dollars i cooled down gave it a couple days and called back now i was up to 238 due to another overdraft fee (i had other checks out there for those that live in GA i had just done my emission and tag for my car) so that is how i encoured all these fees. The rep i got this day sarted out polite but as the covnversatiion went out was extremly rude she informed me that well the fees were my problem and tha T-Mobile was still researching the issuse i just wanted my funds and overdraft fees back I then asked to speak to a supervisor his name was Phillip rep ID 1049368 he was the WORST he got loud he was beyond rude when i asked to speak tio his supervisor he told me no i could not and hung up the phone i then waited and called back this time i asked strictly for a rep i got a guy named terrance rep id 0458653 he was polite and helpful. I thought my nightmare was over but it was only the tip of the iceberg a few days laater i recieve a text saying my bill is 428 of course i call now they say i never wrote a check and it was not cashed then they stated it was recievied but returned nsf mind you the check had been cashed and cleared on 11/03/08 but now on 11/10/08 they claim it was not recieved i had to call my bank verfiy that it was recieved, cashed and cleared a week prior to this now i call tmobile back give them the check number transaction number and they say we are going to investigate oh and by the wasy yor bill is due of 114 all i could do at this point was laugh to keep from blowing up . Two days pass i call t see whats going on and they tell me we need the past due amount of 114 and theat i have a past due balance of 160 i ask from when the rep starts looking he goes as far as 09/07 to find how far back this goes and he says i have no answer he states he is confused it shows this amount comes from no where but its there he transfers me to another rep She claimed to be a supervisor her name was crystal rep ID 1725093 she begins by telling me how i basically have no rifght to be upset i owe tmobile and that nothing can be done to help me till i pay them i then go through everything that has taken place since this started she then says let me see what i can do at this point im fustrated i haved lost close to 300 dollars because of tmobile i have gotten the worst customer service of my life im ready to sue tmobile for un do stress cause in the beginning all i wanted was my money back .At this point i would not reccomend or advise ANYONE to become or remain a tmobile customer i have three lines i am pulling my so in law has two he is pulling and family that has 4 lines tmobile is an awful company based on their customer service

Tmobile Hotspot Billing practice
T-Mobile Hotspot,

Unauthorized charges for no service. When I sign up for new hot spot account for one month (may be for one time), T-Mobile charges $39.99 every month. The sign up page doesn't ask for charging option. The default was to charge every month. I paid for more than a year for an account that I haven't looged in except for the first month.

Blackberry Pearl
I am just have to try and warn people about the Blackberry Pearl. I purchased this phone is August 07. It was $250.00 (with the upgrade). This phone has it's up and downs. Lets just say more downs. I mainly bought this phone for easier typing and to utilize the internet. It actually worked great for about the first week of purchasing it. The speed seemed to be great and I didn't have any complaints. Right after the first week...I realized that my text messages and call logs were being erased! I could not for the life of me figure out how this could be happening. I checked all of my settings to make sure that I had them set to save messages and etc. I finally called tmobile...who then had to transfer me to a "PDA specialist". The specialist told me that there was an update I had to download. I was so mad!! Why wasn't I told this when I first purchased the phone?? Why wasn't this already done for me...?? I lost important messages and numbers because the tmobile rep was to concerned about me making his commision. Ok...so I figured no problem...I will download this...and it will be great. The next issue I had was with the mp3 player. I wasn't advised to get a larger memory card with the phone. So literally only can put 3 songs...yes 3..songs onto this phone. So I called tmobile again and asked if it something with my phone or the memory card?? So I erased basically EVERYTHING from my memory card...and still only 3 songs. Really..?? What's the point??? I mean...why did I just spend this amount of money on this phone if I cant do anything with it!!?? So...ok...I thought...no biggie. The music thing I can get over. But if any of you have a Blackberry Pearl...we all know the main problem is the internet. When it tries request "scripts" and the hour glass just keeps turning and turning and turning...then...oh yeah...it freezes and you have turn off the phone...take the battery out and reset it...then wait for to basically reboot. Basically the only websites that work are google and such. Otherwise...you are looking at really slow speeds. I am so upset with this phone. I gave it a over a year and now I am selling it. Now that the price is $99 at tmobile for it now. I basically am getting a ptiy $50 for it. WASTE OF MONEY!! I never complain...but tmobile really screwed me. There was no help...no advice...nothing. I should have gotten the Curve...but again..the guy was so concerned with me buying the darn thing. Why would he care??

Text Msg Charges
Last two bills contained the line items for text messaging to 8/24/08 Charlotte, NC 4:01 PM 704-345-3115 1 0.20; there is only one person I send text messages, and this is not the number. Some of them are two minutes apart - there must be at least 50 of them on my recent bill. This problem appeared only after they took over Suncom. I have placed an inquiry with TMobile, but no response yet.

Bad Business Practices
I have been with T-Mobile since the Aerial days, and must say the service and support has declined dramatically over the years, until finally, I just had enough. Every month or so, the signal degraded until finally I could no longer get reception anywhere, including my home, which had worked for about a decade. Their support people were not only rude, but also incompetent. I was tricked into changing my plan, as I was grandfathered into a great rate, only to find out that they not only misrepresented what I would get on my new plan, i.e. t-zones and unlimited internet, but also boosted my charges into orbit. I was also promised I could go back to my old plan if I was not happy. Not true. It really wasn't about the money, as I was accustomed to having bills as high as $1, 800.00 ... once it was $1, 400, because they signed me up for unlimited internet and then charged me by the packet. Absolutely Ridiculous. I changed to a blackberry, which they could barely get to work, and paid top dollar for it, with the promise that I could go back to my previous plan if I was unhappy (Should have been wise to them after they pulled this one on me the first time). Don't fall for this. Not only could I not go back, but I was out over $400 bucks for a device that didn't work, and a 2 year contract to get into my new crappy plan. I raised enough of a stink that they promised to unlock my Blackberry phone, so at least I could sell it. This they also changed their minds on, and decided keep the lock my phone, making it for the most part, a paper weight. This is quite unfair, I paid for the phone, it is my asset, my property, and they crippled it. At this point, I was pretty much fed up with T-Mobile, and gave them an ultimatum. Either fix my issues, or Cingular would. Once again, T-Mobile promised to work with me, unlock my phone and try to figure out what the problem was, but once again, they decided not to unlock my blackberry, and ignore my service issues. As I promised, I made the jump to Cingular. I had to purchase yet another Blackberry, because T-Mobile would still not unlock my device. (Note: the Cingular transition went off without a hitch.. They did exactly what they promised, and then some) T-Mobile called, now demanding $200 dollars for breaking my contract, and another $100 for my monthly bill. My take was, no way! I feel they owe me money for my device! And as for the contract, I just signed it, nothing was working right, the contract is a 2 way street! They must provide service as promised, or the contract is null and void! My house is clearly on the map for supported areas, not to mention that I was promised that if this did not work, I could cancel. I refused to pay... After working with their billing folks, I agreed to pay the bill, if they unlocked the phone. They felt that was reasonable (I didn't, as I felt the contract issue was totally unfair, but would have paid it just to make this all go away). Once again, they changed their minds, and refused to send me the unlock, and once again, I refused to pay. I now am being hounded by credit bureaus, threatening to damage my credit.. but, still I will not pay. It is just wrong. In summary, this would never have had to escalate to this point if T-Mobile had just been honest, upfront, and provided the service as agreed. As it stands now, they might have put a dent in my otherwise stellar credit rating, but I have cost them countless customers by sharing my experiences with everyone I deal with personally and professionally. With the competition for cell phone service being at a peak, T-Mobile should at least try to buff off their already tarnished reputation. I feel their unscrupulous underhanded and unethical behavior is rapidly catching up with them. Buyer Beware! Rick St Petersburg, Florida
