Wrong type of weather
I have had a poor signal for weeks so I approached T-mobile. In the first week, customer services told me a transmitter was down and would be back up in 24 hours. When I spoke to the engineer, he told me there were no transmitter problems in the area. However, he did upgrade me to be able to get Orange cover as well as T-mobile cover. Didn't make any difference.

I complained again and was contacted by customer services. The young lady was very good and did try to help. Her engineers told her to tell me that its the weather that is the problem. My signal should improve when the weather improves.

What a load of nonsense!!! My work phone (O2 network) has a perfect signal.

So I asked if I could terminate my contract as the 'service is not fit for purpose'. Nope - because I do occasionally get a signal.

End result - a discount for a month during the bad weather.

IF T-Mobile can blame the weather, then they should offer a 'summer only' option.

Excuses gone mad - crazy!!

Refurbished Phones
After my Motorola cliq was damaged I requested a replacement since I was paying insurance. T mobile told me with a 130$ deductible i could receive a comparable replacement since they weren't making the Motorola cliqs anymore which was a my touch slide. After rec the phone it started acting up cutting off (had to remove the battery) to cut back on, could not make calls without doing master resets and if i would respond to a text message it would go to someone else...So tmobile sends me another phone . As I was talking to the very first person i called the phone called someone else in the middle of the convo!! I found out that the replacement phones were all refurbished!! I called customer care to ask them why were they sending me refurbished phones ??? Rep could not say why she just kept saying that they send new or "like new" phones that are under warranty! WHAT??!! never did tmobile EVER inform me at any time that insurance for replaced damaged or faulty phones would be "Like New" . I will be writing the BBB along with Clark Howard and changing phone companies!!! Thanks to a friend of mines for refering me to this site where you can leave complaints!!!

bad service
2 weeks ago, I paid 30 bucks asking for changing to the $30/month plan with 1500 talk+text. but it seemed that they did not change the plan for me, just put $30 into my account, just like "Paid as you go"..
It cost me money when I made every phone call or text..I talked to the dealer and he said "it is ok, do not worry, it will change tomorrow.."

Last week, my phone could not make any phone calls or texts, and I dialed "#999#"..oh my god, $0.04 left..they have not changed the plan for me..
Then I came to one T-mobile store in Manhattan last Friday (Black Friday), and they told me that there was no any plan in my account, only "paid as you go"..and it has run out of money now...They sugguested me to go back to the original T-mobile where I asked for this plan service and talk to them...otherwise, I had to pay another 30 bucks for this plan if I still wanted to use it..
From Saturday to This Tuesday, I have come to T-mobile store in Sunnyside (46st, Queens Blvd) for 4 times, the problem was still there, every time they used all kind of excuses to avoid to admit their mistakes..."I have to ask my manager first, he is taking care of his baby now...come here again tomorrow".

On Tuesday, the dealer asked me to talk to their prepaid staff on the phone and the guy told me that "you have used up all your minutes...in 1 week"
Then I asked them to print out my phone bill and so I can check how many minutes I have used...but they said "No, we can not do this for you..."
If I have used up all the minutes (1500 minutes) in 1 week...I think I have called Jupiter or Moon every day...

The most funny thing is the dealer in the store kept telling me "sorry, it was our mistake (the prepaid staff did not change the plan for you)..but I can not help you here, I have nothing to do now..."..He showed me the system in their store and tried to comfort me...the system did not say I have used up all my minutes and in fact, nothing happened...1500 minutes remaining...
and he dial #999# on my cell phone, it still shows $0.04 left (Paid as you go), not "minutes" left (Plan)...

How come one T-mobile said there was no plan in my account (only "paid as you go") but the other said I have used up all 1500 minutes of the plan?

How come the dealer in T-mobile said it is their fault but can not help me? Am I the one who forces them to make mistakes?

How come I got the phone bills and reports before but now only "sorry, we can not tell you how many minutes you have used"? maybe because T-mobile does not admit their fault.

what a great service of T-mobile..

I will cut the T-mobile now, today T-mobile maybe only lost me one customer, Tomorrow the second...

and I will suggest my family and friends to quit T-mobile...I will tell everyone what happened...

Will steal your money and lie
On November 9, 2010, T-Mobile called me with a free trial offer on their laptop webstick. When I first said no, they told me that I wouldnt even be charged to send it back should I want to, and I would not be charged anything until the trial was over. Today, November 22, when I call to tell them I am sending it back, they inform me that I not only have to pay to send it back myself, I am also going to be charged god knows how much for this free trial; and I say only god knows because the representatives refused to tell me how much I would be paying them for this FREE TRIAL. During the course of trying to send back this devils gift that I never should have accepted I was hung up on by the first representative I was unfortunate enough to get. The second representative was not much better, he was very arrogant, and also refused to be helpful in anyway especially when I asked to speak to his manager, I was told someone would get back to me in two days; I do not believe this lie in the slightest.

A warning to current and future T-Mobile customers, DO NOT EXPECT TO BE TREATED HUMANLY; they will lie to you and tell you what you want to hear rather than the truth of what they are doing, they will also steal from you every chance they get by adding services and charges for services that you never asked for nor even inquired about. They have scammed me several times in this way over the years that I have been with them. And they keep customers by this means as well, they lie about the costs of services and products and then force you to have to stay and keep paying them with two year contracts that they make near impossible to end since not one phone EVER makes it to the two year mark.

TMOBILE WILL STEAL YOUR MONEY AND LIE

TO YOU TO GET IT!!

Lack of information given to me
I recently went overseas, so BEFORE I left, I went on live-chat with one of T-mobile's agents to enquire about International roaming and text messages, whilst overseas. The Agent explained to me how much I would be charged per Megabyte, if I used my phone for the Internet. I basically did not want any surprize charges when I came back. The "Megabyte" charges would basically equate to $15- per megabyte, which meant that I could e.g., log onto CNN.com approximately 22 times.

I JUST received a Bill for over $300- !! (my monthly average does not exceed $100-). Still worried that I would get a high bill, I turned my phone off the day after I arrived in South Africa. When I queried this fact with them today, they explained to me that I had to "de-activate" my "international roaming"! Apparently the phone still "roams", even if the phone is turned off! Their Agent did not mention anything about this at any stage.

I asked them if they could waive some of the charges, since their Agent did not inform me of this, and I feel that they should take part responsibility, since the chat was all about "charges" and roaming. I have ALL the transcripts between myself and the t-mobile Agents on record.

I am extremely upset about this and hope that my complaint can help other people who are misled on a daily basis about these issues.

I would SINCERELY appreciate if you could assist me in this matter. It is totally unfair and unjust.

Kind regards

Customer Care/ Billing
I must say I've been with tmobile for six years now and every year it is something different they want more money. I got my first tmobile phone when I was in high school and I am now 23. I do not like what they doing to innocent people, I get bills in the mail, phones calls that are threatening, and text messages as well. I am tired of them charging me for charges I do not know about. I recently received a bill stating that I owe 463.95 and I do not know for what. I only use my cellphone for emergency calls and when I am not home. I complained to customer service/ Blackberry department about their phones how they do not work properly even if you have the internet on your phone. I have had my blackberry for about 2 1/2 years now and I called to see if I could get another and they told I was ready for a FULL UPGRADE but here is the catch they still want you to pay practically the full amount for the phone. T-Mobile charges to much for phone bills and for phones that do not work properly. I am FED UP...

Rip off
After I had cancelled service within grace period, T-Mobile sent me a bill for over $521. They wanted early termination fees, monthly fees and over

$50 in taxes.

I had received phones 7/16 and returned them on 7/28. We had no service while in Maine, the phones were difficult to use and they continuously had an ad to upgrade service on my phone. When I received bill I called customer service and both rep (Greg) and supervisor (Natalie) insisted I had terminated service early and an additional month's fee was due as I had not ported my cell phone numbers to another company timely.

I was unable to port numbers to Verizon

until T-mobile acknowledged receipt, which took them twelve calendar days.

By their logic, If I hadn't ported numbers over, I would owe monthly fee forever.This was in addition to "phishing"for $400 early termination fee.

Eventally they acknowledged that termination fee was erroneous, but were insitent that I owed them for not porting number when it was impossible to do so.

Beware of T-Mobile, way your service provider options before signing a contract with this company.

I have been a loyal customer to the T-Mobile brand for 10 years. The company first captured my value as a customer when I lived in Germany in which I was a loyal customer of Deutsche Telecom (T-Mobile is a subsidy of Deutsche Telecom). The value that I captured from Deutsche Telecom was satisfaction and a good customer relationship. Once I moved back to the U.S. I felt the brand was still worthy of capturing my value as a customer. When I moved to an area where T-Mobile didn't have good service, I stood by the brand by getting T-Mobile at Home. This service allows you to make calls using a WiFi connection. I gladly paid the additional charge even though T-Mobile did not work with me to lower the cost of the service (that I had to use to stay with the brand). The additional T-Mobile at Home service more recently has been an additional charge on my tight budget, which was the cause of inflation and a decrease in pay just so I can keep my job. I eventually had to discontinue the service because I couldn't afford it. When my service was discontinued with T-Mobile they charged me for three additional months of use and a $200 disconnection fee and a service fee of $140. I was surprised when the service representative told me this because I thought there must of been an error on my bill. After talking with the representative I asked to speak with a manager. He connected me to the manager's line and I waited five minutes or more just to be directed to a voicemail, which disconnected me before I could leave a message. T-Mobile was a brand that I would have stuck with for life, if I hadn't experienced financial difficulties, even though I would have paid less with other service providers.

As of today I'm no longer a loyal customer to this brand and as far as this company capturing future value from me, "that will never happen in this lifetime."

For those of you thinking of considering T-Mobile as a service provider, look at what other phone service providers can offer you and if they cannot provide you with your service, then consider T-Mobile.

My monthly bill before I terminated my service was a little over a hundred dollars a month after my Boeing employee discount. My termination bill is over $600 dollars. As I told the representative, "I'll pay the bill, but you're losing a loyal customer and a customer who paid over $3, 000 within the last year of service for your service."

Double Charging
I recently received a new Blackberry from a friend to use with my T-Mobile account. My current cell phone plan only covers 1000 minutes and unlimited texting since I had a texting phone before getting the Blackberry. Mind you, the Blackberry is a smartphone that requires internet services to adequately work properly. When I called T-Mobile to add the internet/data plan to my account, I was told I would be charged for the current month and for the following month in advance when I'm a month-to-month customer. I asked the representative how did she figure that I would be required to pay for a month in advance on a month-to-month contract with them and she told me it was T-Mobile's policy that I pay for services that way when I add a new service to the account. I don't get why a person that pays monthly would have to pay for an extra month up front for a service. Just seems like a scam to me and when I requested to speak to a supervisor in regards to this, the supervisor didn't want to give me any straight answers and even hung up the phone when I said it sounds like "stealing" which it is to me if I'm required to pay an extra month of service and then pay my full bill the following month afterwards. I called back and requested to speak to a supervisor two more times in regards to this issue and was hung up on again. What's the deal with the double charging with T-Mobile.
