T-Mobile Reviews Summary

T-Mobile's reputation is marred by significant customer dissatisfaction, primarily stemming from perceived deceptive practices regarding promotions and service quality. Many customers report issues with billing, unresponsive customer service, and difficulties in resolving problems, leading to frustration and a sense of betrayal. While some reviews acknowledge initial satisfaction with service and product offerings, the overwhelming sentiment reveals a trend of distrust and disappointment, particularly concerning support after the sale. This feedback suggests a pressing need for T-Mobile to enhance its customer service approach and better honor promotional commitments to rebuild trust and retain customers.

Jenny ID ******* is the type of customer service I'm use to from tmobile. She didn't haggle me or act as if it was a chore to assist a loyal long term faithful customer. She explained things very clearly and made sure I wasn't ever inconvenienced. She allowed me to explain uninterrupted and also apologized for experiences with tmobile that had nothing to do with the care she was providing me. If every customer care representative was like her, T-mobile would be the only carrier needed in America. Please reward her with responsibility of management because she is ready to not only be the example but to set the example for others to follow. Promote now!

I want to port out # from Tmobile to another provider. Reason, wanted to save on cost. CS try their best to send customer port out/port in number BUT TMobile system does not allow it to go through. They cannot send to your phone number. Not to your email address. Tmobile wants customer to go to retail store. IMAGINE the inconvenience! The only saving grace for TMobile their customer service agents try their best to assuage customer - but what can they do if they are block by their system?

55+ Bait & Switch
May 25, 2022

I Signed Up Witha a Salesman at Walmart When I Couldn't Find the Prepaid Phone that I Originally Wanted to Buy on The Shelf. Apparently he Signed me up with a Plan that is for 55+ for $50/month. Because that was the price I was going to pay for the prepaid service I originally came for... so 6 months later tmobile Jack's up my bill $20 per month and when I messaged customer service they blamed it on the salesman and it's not their fault... now I have to get a new phone number which is going to really hurt my business... I feel like I've fallen victim to a bait & switch scheme... has anyone else had the same thing happen to them? Please advise... this is obviously Theft by deception

Bad business practices. Customer service is a joke. They advertise special promotions but won't assist you to be able to utilize their advertised services.

I sure do miss my sprint. It may have cost a little more but they were knowledgeable. Customer service was always so kind and answered the issue we called in for. Now there is a ten dollar service charge, amd they expect US, the customer, to file claims and know how to deal with their tech stuff.
For 3 days I have been switched between the assurance and t-mobile for no one to know what for or why they sent me to them. It's just a circus.
I left t-mobile YEARS ago for this, guess now after 10 years I gotta leave sprint too

Recurring bill
May 20, 2022

Sprint/T-Mobile continued to charge me a month after I had canceled my account in full. Do NOT use Sprint/T-Mobile, as they have horrible service and will essentially rob you blind!

I was with Verizon for many years, their customer service became terrible (m nearly imposible to speak with a human) so I decided to give the 'new' T Mobile. What a total disappointment!
From the outset ( about 3 months ago) their signal strength was very poor in any building, even 1 ft away from a door or window, so I finally got tired & decided to call tech support. After waiting for a customer service rep, was greeted by 2 very nice ladies. I was transferred to a tech support person who promised to call at 4:30 which didn't happen til 5:30, he asked I do several things, said it was best to get rid of the physical SIM card & use the Electronic one. Far from improving things got even worse, he stated he was gonna send to another tech but it would take 2-4 days (!) So I called back, when thru a bunch questions & nothing improved, not surprisingly, suddenly the call got disconnected again. This person said if we got disconnected he'd call back which of course never happened. Interestingly, neither one of the times I received a request for my 'feedback'
It's back to Verizon. Stay away from this company!

Our family switched from T-Mobile/Sprint to Verizon in November of 2021 due to the poor customer service and poor coverage since the the 2 companies merged. It's been an absolute nightmare with Sprint! They sent us a final bill in February (for the lease of the iPhones that we handed over to Verizon as part of their deal). Then we get another bill in May saying that we still owe them for the lease of one of the 4 phones that we were told we just paid off. TM/Sprint will do everything in their power to keep charging you for services and phones you are no longer using. They should be held accountable for this type of deception and fleecing their once loyal customers who could no longer stomach their service or coverage.

I had Sprint for 20 yrs however it's now T-mobile now, I can't get service in my house or many other places. I have a Note 9 but they are telling me my ph is no longer compatible but they let me insure this ph for years. My question is why wasn't I notified that I have insurance on a ph that is not compatible anymore but Sprint would've value me as a long time customer but T-mobile is giving me a hard time however it's time I move on to another carrier

This is the most garbage service I have ever had. I have been with sprint for 13 years and when they merged with T-mobile, it's been down hill since. I lose service daily here in KS. I work on the base of FT riley and my phone has no reception. I call daily and I always get told the same answer, they are working on towers in my area. Yeah right. My bill is damn near $200 a month and the service isn't worth it. The phone company have 3 jobs, call, text, and internet. None of these services work. What's the point. Run from this company if you have any sense.

Tmobile sent a phone that I didn't ask for because I have insurance through their recommended company ASSURANCE. They first asked for $900 and then lowered it to $645. I refused to pay because they did not disclose they were sending this item and refused to take it back despite not receiving the phone because they sent it to the wrong address. Why would I agree to pay $900 for a phone when my insurance would replace the phone for $99?

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.

Just started with T-Mobile earlier this week after leaving Verizon. It took more than 5 hours to purchase a plan for two phones. The price changed at least 6 times before we made the final purchase. It has not been a week and we received our first bill and its already $30 more than discussed. We also purchased two kids watches for our sons. I've been on with customer service for more than an hour and I'm still not sure she understands my problem. I'm worried that I will have to return to the store and spend another 4 hours to set up the watches.

I've had a horrible experience with T-Mobile I'm fixing bill errors every month, resolution time takes up to hours (on the phone) they claim to have the issue fixed yet I'm calling every month. And going inside a local store is always a nightmare because really they can only assist in taking your money. I brought a phone as it was buy one get one free now I'm being told it's buy one get one leased! Who in there right mind would lease a phone for the exact amount you can just pay it off for I hate that I ever started my contract and would advice everyone to look elsewhere p. A make sure after each transaction you're receiving a receipt multiple times I have went into a local store for help to discover months down the line I had things added to my account that I've never even physically owned they do these things for rewards And it's flat out wrong you can't even assist me with the mistakes the company is making what makes you think I will add more things to a bill that has yet to be resolved
