“They are very good at apologizing!”

Kristy S.
2/27/15

I've had T-Mobile for 5+ years now and I've found that while mistakes are sometimes made, (usually during ill-advised store visits) their phone based customer service is very good at making up for it. Any time I have called them with an issue they have been very quick to correct it and to give me some kind of compensation or perk to make up for the loss. While the website has had a few issues in the past with user-friendliness, they have made regular improvements over the years that help immensely. If you demand perfection constantly, not the carrier for you, but if you have a tiny bit of patience, they do come through in the long run.

“No. Just no.”

Phones are junk and they then charge you to restock their junk. In store makes a sale and then cant help you with anything and believe me...you WILL have problems. Customer service? Our entire family had TM phones and now are completely disgusted with the "service". Plan on spending hours on the phone as you get put on hold, swapped around, cut off over and over again, and get told something different with every call. Have had constant glitches with the GPS, volume, camera lens etc etc etc. They used to be worth the extra money every month but NO good reasons to stay with them anymore. Steer clear.

TMobile has been the worst and the most traumatic experience I have ever had service wise. I initiated a warranty exchange, they told me everything was good and that they received the old phone returned and everything was successfully completed with the exchange. Next thing I know I have a $500 charge on my account 3 months later! I called and they said it was for the warranty exchange from 3 months ago! I spent days and hours on the phone with them so they could fix the issue as they had already assured me that the exchange was successfully completed 3 months ago. The representatives are all liers, which means the company is a huge scam. They kept lying to get me off the phone, passing me around from person to person, while doing nothing to resolve the issue. I lost DAYSS! Not hours, DAYS! Run away from this place, I have left as well. Also, all their phones are trash and always break a few months in, I'm done with them for good.

I use to be a Happy Sprint customer and T mobile pretty much bought Sprint out and have no choice to leave Sprint for T mobile. All my wife and I get is slooow service and not able to connect to our wifi after the switch over. T mobile lied about the 5g coverage (never had any problems with Sprint) and I feel like they're stealing from us. probably look in to a lawyer

I have a phone from Assurance wireless, and T-Mobile is the carrier. They install 3 apps and change my wallpaper a few times a day. Get a life and leave me alone! You should get a clue when I immediately uninstall! The worst company ever!

I pay every month for service that isnt working! That's ridiculous! It's dangerous to be without phone service in today's times, and it's unethical for MetroPCS to keep our money when our phone service isn't working. They really need to get it together. Otherwise, I'm moving on to a different phone company.

Even after turning in the equipment after the 1st month.They continue to bill you for that 1st month. I paid it only because I didn't want it to be on my credit. It buffered alot so it was not a good internet service for me.

I recently just spoke to Giezel of T-Mobile customer support and she was extremely understanding and helpful! From checking my plan/rate to making sure I was content with the billing situation, she was a pleasure to speak with. T-Mobile has some of the best customer service representatives I've spoken with. Thank you so much!

I have used 5G-Tmoble Internet service for about 6 months.
Last 2 months, the service has become too weak. The speed only got 25Mbps or lower.
- We call tech support at least 4 times within 2 weeks. All solutions I got were: "Turn off the power of the 5G Internet Box for 5 minutes" and turn it on.
- All explanations from them are the same and very ridiculous: I saw the technicians are working on your area, it will be fixed within 1 couple of days. However, the fact is after 2 weeks of complaining, NOTHING changed.
- Cannot make any reliable connection to my company, it forced me to go to the T-Mobile authorized store to cancel the service and by-the-way return the 5G box. The service person in the T-Mobile store instead of accepting my return, requested me to make a call to T-Mobile to cancel then she would take the returned 5G box. However, As soon as we made a call. The service person stated that: Her store manager was absent. So she asked us to go to another T-Mobile store to return the 5G box
- We had no other choice but to reach another T-Mobile store, but the Manager at the new T-Mobile Store again stated: sorry you have to ship your box through UPS service, he only politely printed me the UPS label.
I still have the screen capture of the very low download speed of this service as evidence.

Tip for consumers:
Please think twice before you want to switch your current Internet service over. I cannot connect to my company reliably. The connections are dropped too frequently & the speed connection gets maximum at 30Mbps.

If I could give a zero rating I would, T-Mobile is the worse carrier I have ever had. I used to have Boost-mobile, even though it was slow at points, I was able to cancel my plan with no problem at all. I recently canceled my T-Mobile, 170 for two lanes and now they're charging me 370$ with no explanation or whatsoever. All I am trying to say is that never get T-mobile, it's a scam.

A total fraud. The charge for lines that we never ask for and phones that we never purchased and never have in our hands. They literally tell you in your face that they know that you didn't do it but is in your account so you have to pay it. The worst company in USA. It should be a plece where we can get some support against this consumers predators. Since we can not send them to a court for cost effectiveness they take advantage of people this way.

This is the worst company I've have ever done business with as far as customer service. I have called at least 10 times in last 4mo this and every time I call they send you to foreign country with someone reading a checklist that they apparently they don't know how to help for the issue you are calling but quick to upswell while your frustrated just dumb practice! After an hour or so of no help they ship next level which is another 30 mins and you got a 50-50 chance they will actually help fix problem till you ask for supervisor then Its oh how sorry they are and maybe your issue is addressed!?!?! If I ran my small company that way I would be out of business! It's so bad I will leaving with all my company's phone services to another carrier soon! Absolutely not the best of Puget sounds local companies embarrassment!

Cheap cell phone plans, but be careful not to exceed your minutes (but you can get a refund) - I pay $60/mo for 1500 anytime minutes (unlimited nights and weekends) and $20/mo for unlimited data on their 2.5G network. Pretty cheap compared to other cell phone plans. HOWEVER, T-Mobile (as far as I can tell) does not alert you when you are getting close to going over your minutes, so this is how they make money and screw you over. It's easy to spend $100 without even noticing it since extra minutes cost $. 35 each. If you do go over, you can claw back your lost money by upgrading your plan before the end of your billing cycle. This way, you end up spending only $10-$20 more and they refund your overage charges and the next month you can change your plan back to the cheaper option.

The worst service as; they charged me for calls overseas which I didn't have and technically I couldn't because my line had been limited for that!, they switched my plan to another one without any permission!, they don't accept me as their customer and customer service act was unprofessional and without proper proof! And and they overcharged me a month more and need to be an account! And numerous one by one to remind them that they are mistaking and got headache to prove yourself. I recommend not get headache don't switch to T-MOBILE.

Ever since Sprint has joined with TMobile the service has been awful. If I go to the store I have to wait atleast 15 to 30 minutes for help. The store is always packed. I have watched the manager leave a full store three times. Leaving young kids stuck with a room full of people. I tried to get a new phone. I was told I still owed on my phone plan. I literally just made a payment. My current phone won't hold a charge. I asked for a new charger atleast. I was told no. I've been with this company for a few years. It's definitely gone down hill. My service at my home is so bad I have to drive around the block to get a signal. My phone is crap. The customer service is crap. So much for highest speed and fastest anything. Run far! Do not go with TMobile.

I ordered a IPad 9 on Dec 28, they billed be $128.54 on Dec 30. I paid for second day Air, so delivery should have been Feb 1. I checked the tracking number and UPS had not received the package. I call TM's expert and he told me it was on back order and shipping could be delayed until mid March. So I ask to cancel. And for the next 19 days I called about 16 times spend at least 15 hours asking for help. On the 19th UPS still showed they had not received the Experts and Supervisors tried to tell me it had ship next day air on the 8th. One excuse after another. On the 20th I received a email from T-Mobile Care in forming me they had received my IPad and will refund my money at the next billing cycle. I'm switching back to Verizon wish I'd never left. Much better coverage for the same cost. I gave 1 star it will not allow 0. Save your self some pain and suffering avoid T-Moble.

Cecy Ramirez was more than willing to give me her name. Proud of crappy customer service she gives. We went in 10 till 8 so she didn't want to stay over her time to go home. So pretty much she said no to ensuring we asked help with. Plus she let me knew that the stores at the mall aren't corporate ones so they don't function the same. As I'm supposed to care! Which she said I should. As a company if you are putting your name on it you should care on the training you give. Plus corporate store was no help either so I don't know the difference. I was originally a sprint customer. How I miss sprint. T mobiles customer service is bad.

3 experts said I was all ready for my Europe. Phone didn't work at all in Europe! They never unlocked the phone! Also left a wrong blocking setting on. Couldn't use phone, texting, maps, directions, GPS for car rental, translate, currency converter, train schedules, call a taxi. Nothing! They said it wasn't their fault that their 'experts' didn't know what do even though I talked to 3 different people before my trip. After almost ruining a 35 day once in a life time trip, they just gave me $100 back and said no apology. No correction to uneducated employees, management wouldn't call back to me when I tried to escalate my complaint. Very very dissatisfied.
