Metro by T-Mobile Dishonesty in the Business, Failed to refund after stating they would refund.

I contacted Metro by T-Mobile with concerns over poor service (dropped calls, no voice network, etc). They told me (several times) that I needed to upgrade to a new phone. I agreed to by a new phone with the condition that if it didn't improve the service, I could return it for a full refund. The new phone didn't help and the next day Metro by T-Mobile refused any refund. After arguing with them in the store for two hours to honor their promise, they refunded the phone only. They refused to take back the case they forced me to buy and the activation fee...she said I would lose my phone number if I didn't agree to eating the activation fee. I told her to refund the phone and I would take up the rest of this ripoff with her Corporate Office.

To: Metro by T-Mobile, T-Mobile, T-Mobile Customer Relations, P.O. Box 37380, Albuquerque, NM [protected]
From: Robert Arroyo, 1150 N Rusty Nail Rd, Prescott Valley, AZ 86314 (phone: [protected])
Subject: Dishonesty in the business, Bait & Switch, "Slamming" of unrequested additional services.

Metro by T-Mobile lied to me and ripped me off and people need to know about my experience and opinion ASAP (before Christmas) to educate them and possibly prevent this from happening to them. I've been a Metro by T-Mobile customer for 5-6 years. The service has always been great until about a year ago I noticed a degrade in service (dropped calls, "no voice network", Emergency calls only", etc) and have been struggling with them ever since.
Several moths ago I called them to discuss the poor service and they transferred me to tech support. Tech support had me make several changes to my settings and also said they tuned the local cell site but nothing changed. The service was still sporadic at best. I was constantly hoping my phone would get ANY signal/service in my area, especially in my own home.
Several weeks ago I went down to my local Metro by T-Mobile store in Prescott Valley, AZ to see if they could help/advise me on a fix. They told me that my "LG" phone was obsolete and LG was no longer providing updates. They said I needed to buy/upgrade to a newer model phone. I said OK but only IF that new phone improved the service and if not, a full refund would be provided.They assured me that there was a satisfaction guarantee for a full refund. I told them I wanted a Motorola one 5G Ace. They told me they would have to order one from Phoenix and it would be in the following week. Three weeks later and they were still telling me that "it didn't come in yet".I decided to try calling one of the stores in Phoenix (90 miles away) to see if they had one.
The 2nd store I called was in Phoenix and they had several in stock. I told them I was intending to drive all the way down there (90 miles)to get it. The store was: Metro by T-Mobile, 2601 East Bell Rd STE#15, Phoenix AZ 85032. Phone: [protected].
This is where the horror story begins…
- 12/09/21When I got down there (Phoenix) and identified myself, they (Isabel/Bertha?) told me that if I wanted to buy the phone I would also have to buy a case and screen protector (>$50)...that they were "required to sell these accessories in case you drop the phone"...!?!?! (Bait & Switch or Strong arm sales?) I protested and said I just wanted the phone. She said she can't sell it without the case or another (overpriced) accessory!?… store policy...said she would waive the activation fee if I bought accessories. Rather than drive 90 miles back home without the phone, I agreed to buy the case only for $22.99 (ripoff). My wife was with me and witnessed this whole conversation. We asked again about the Satisfaction guarantee and were assured of a full refund if not satisfied...but only for 7 days…!?!? We asked her for her name (no name tag) and she grudgingly said it would be on the receipt (rude). We finally got the new phone activated, ISABEL (per one receipt, BERTHA per the credit receipt on 12/10...same girl) put both old and new phones and boxes/literature in the bag and we were walking out the door when she called to us and tore the receipt off her register and put it in the bag. We were happy to get out of there. After driving 90 miles home, I walked in my house and the phone said "no voice network available"...the same thing my old phone had said. I drove around the neighborhood and had signal about 25 to 50% of the time...just like the old phone. Unacceptable...Dissatisfied...12/10/21: I drive back to this same store (another 180 mile round trip) and ask for a full refund. Isabel/Bertha (whatever her real name is) says there is no refund and that there is only a manufacturers warranty. WT!?!**+!? I tell her that the phone is fine...not a phone issue...that the network service in my area has changed for the worse and I want the full refund that was promised yesterday. She refused and I asked her to get her management team on the phone. Two hours later she gets permission to refund the phone only. She said that the cellphone case that I didn't want to start with is not returnable and if I didn't pay for the reactivation fee, I would lose my phone number! (Another strong arm tactic threatening my phone number!) I told her to refund the phone and I would take up this matter further with Metro by T-Mobile, T-Mobile management /Customer Relations. Isabel/Bertha told me the case was $22.99 but when I got home, realized she had charged me $29.99. She also tried to "slam" me with a $10/month Insurance Plan but my wife asked her if our bill would change and she had to admit that it went from 50 to 60 dollars with the insurance...(I thought "SLAMMING" was illegal and find it sneaky...not appreciated.) We told her it was not approved by us and had her remove it. She also never had us sign either the receipt or credit slips...why?---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: Please refer to the "Chat" conversation (attached) I had with the Metro by T-Mobile website rep Piolo on 12/07/21...Chat ID: [protected].
Included in this chat are:(cut and paste)…
Piolo: Hi, we would like to thank you for having business with Metro by T-mobile.
This is Piolo ID: 502353. It would be a pleasure to help you.
You: My concern is that I'm getting poor service from T-Mobile and am willing to upgrade IF IF IF I can move to Verizon with the new phone if the T-mobile service isn't better.
You: can you send a copy of this chat to my e-mail please
Piolo: Oh... We dnt have a tool to send you the conversation.. But I can give you the ID of this chat... Or you can also take a screenshot of our conversationPiolo: Chat ID -[protected]
You: ? Thy sent me a copy of a chat I had about 3 months ago.Piolo: Oh... I wish we have the tool to send an email Robert :'( The only thing that we can send are automated messages... But let me check with my supervisor Piolo: We truly sorry Robert... They too dnt have any option to send customers a copy of the whole conversation... But customers can take a screenshot instead…
You: If I upgrade to the new phone, can I get a refund if the service still is poor and I'm dissatisfied?Piolo: Yes we have a Metro Promise policy within 30 days from purchase
You: Full refund of the purchase price?
Piolo: Yes Robert, full refund... Customer has to return the complete accessories with box and receit
You: OK...just to summarize, I can buy the phone from Metro byT-Mobile and if dissatisfied, I have 2 options:You: 1- Return phone for a full refund and cancel my service (2 lines) ...or 2- Keep the phone and poor service for 6 months (not 90 days)and then cancel my service?
Piolo: That is correct Robert... If you are not satisfied, you can either ask for full refund of the device within 30 days upon purchase or you wait for 180days to unlock the phone and use it to a different carrier.…
This has been an awful experience and I feel obligated to share it with others/social media to prevent this from happening to them too just a few days before Christmas.I was told a "full refund" several times and got screwed out of $54.88. Either dishonesty or poor training caused this issue and others need to know of the possibilities and resolutions. Please advise of your intentions. Please, I expect an answer by 12/15/21.Thank you, Robert Arroyo [protected]
Pat: All information also will be notated here on your account Robert.

Pat: One moment Robert as I will read this, okay?

You: ok
Pat: Thanks ❤️.

Pat went on to tell me that this matter would be escalated to upper management and then the CHAT was cut off before I could copy and paste that to this document.

To date...12/22/21...I have not heard a word from Metro by T-Mobile.
I retired from the Telecommunications Service business with 27 years and this type of behavior/treatment would have been attended to immediately.
To have the integrity, competence and honesty of employees in question would have warranted an immediate investigation by Corporate. Why hasn't Metro by T-Mobile responded?

Desired outcome: Refund & contact from their T-Mobile Corporate Ethics Department.

Metro by T-Mobile Adding charges to my credit card without my consent

Location: Metro store at 6581, 102nd Ave N, Pinellas Park, FL 33782

I agreed to the purchase of a Nokia x100 for the upgrade price of $179.99 and switch of service price of $21.90, plus taxes. Brandan took my credit card and rang up $267.98. He added on a case kit for $63.49 without my knowledge or agreement. I asked if the kit was included and he said "Yes". I asked twice and got the same answer. I never asked for a case and he never told me he was adding it on, or the price. In my opinion this is a very shady maneuver. I went back to try to return it, I was told they couldn't do that. I said I would contact my credit card company and try to stop the charge. Brandan firmly told me not to threaten him or his job, which I never did. MetrobyTmobile has good phones and good service. My problem was with a less than honorable sales person, Brandan.

I would like a return of the charges that were added to my card without my consent. I've been a customer for 5 years, have purchased at least 4 phones and have always enjoyed good service. He placed charges on my card without my consent. I believe that is illegal. He never quoted me a price first. I never asked for a case. I will file a report of this incident with Citibank Mastercard Services, naming Brandan and this store.

Metro by T-Mobile Billing twice in less than a month.

My phone got turned off, metro indicated that I have to pay my monthly payment to turn my phone back on? Wait wait.. Today is november 4th I just paid my monthly phone bill of $50 on oct 19th. Wtf! That's less than a month. This is a new type of scam for these big corp to bring in more $ for the share holders, I mean unless they have these third world country using cheap labor to handle the billing. In reality most people won't even complain about this type of situation, on the other hand these cheap labor are too ignorant to even know that the wealthy is using the them to steal. In any case. This is stealing and stealing is stealing..
I've been with metropcs since 2005, it's time to move on

Desired outcome: My desire for Metro to get their [censored] together, for God sake.

Metro by T-Mobile Fraud/Rebate Card

Over the past few months, I have had the worst experience with Metro PCS. I have been their customer for many years until recently when I switched to another provider. First of all, I was driving one day and my phone got disconnected out of nowhere, my service was gone. I had to wait until the next day to go to a metro store because customer service could not help me. After many frustrations visiting multiple metro stores and many hours on the phone with customer service, I was told by a metro store that my account could've possibly been canceled because of fraud, possibly being committed by a metropcs employee at a store. I was told that if I went to the corporate store that I could find out more details about this and that the store could see who committed the fraud. That was a lie. I went to the corporate store and they could not do anything for me. I even wrote a review and complained and requested a call back to share my experience. I did receive a call back from the store and the person on the line said that they could not do anything for me. That's when I called Metro customer service again complaining about my frustration. They offered to give me $10 or 2 weeks free of service for my troubles. Hilarious... That was part 1. Part 2 starts when I tried to redeem a $50 virtual rebate card that I received as a promo when I purchased my phone. For some reason, I never received the info for my card as I was supposed to online, so I called metro and they gave me the card details. I thought my issue was resolved only to find out that the agent did not give me the complete details of the card. So I called back today trying to get the correct information on the card, and they tell me that since I'm not a metro pcs customer anymore (I only cancelled because i had fraud on my account and I did not feel my private info was safe) that they could not credit me my rebate card. I feel that this is so unfair. I spent 2-3 hours on the phone transferring between agents/departments until I was finally transferred to their Account Manager at the top of their hierarchy (she confirmed this). She tried to help but said that because of their procedure and me not having an account anymore they could not help me. I understand the procedure, but if my account had fraud and this is the reason why I cancelled I definitely feel like they should still be able to give me my $50. I was not asking for free stuff or anything, I just wanted my deserved $50. Her info: Heather | Badge Number: 703366. I even asked if she could escalate this for me or if not if I can speak to someone above her and she said she couldn't that she was at the top of the hierarchy. Having no other option myself I asked if she could direct me to anywhere else such as the HQ of metropcs or anything that could help me even a complain center and she said that she could not do that, that she did all that she could do. I'm super disappointed with Metro and the way they don't provide solutions to customers. Ridiculous! The least they could do is give me my $50 that I deserve.

Desired outcome: My $50 rebate + compensation for the hours I spent on the phone with them

Metro by T-Mobile Sales manager

I went into the metro PCs store to upgrade my phone to one that had the NFC chip in it, so I could make contact less payments. The girl informed me that the Moto g play had the chip. I said I wanted her to check and be sure before I bought the phone. She assured me it did. I got home to set it up. The phone doesn't have the NFC chip. I went back to the store and was told because it was an upgrade there wasn't anything they could do. The sales manager then said she was waiting on permission from someone to resolve the situation. I have been waiting 4 days know for her to call me and nothing has happened. That feels like they stole money from me. I made it clear that was what I wanted and that is not what I got

Desired outcome: I want a phone that has the NFC chip

I need a phone that day, so I got it, he did it as an Upgrade(unless U buy their phone for a new line & number it's an Upgrade). While seting up the A02, I heard Jeremi teli the next customers something that didn't seem right.next morning I caled the store & was told they had Motorolas in stock & they had som the afternoon before. why Jeremi lied to me, but I went the next day to exchange the A02 for the Motorola I wanted.
The manager refused to exchange. Corporate Store claimed they would get permission to exchange and call me back in an hour. That was 18 days ago. Cust srvc rep put a notation on my account to make the exchange. Eventually that afternoon the manager agreed to it. He played around for over 2 hours exchanging these phones + charged me for the connection fee that had already been waived. He wouldn't give me the phone after I gave him the difference in prices of the phones.
The phone is severly defective, malfunctioning with almost every attempted action.
I tried to get an exchange for a properly working phone, since that's what I paid for. Jeremi refused & I told him they were legally obligated to provide me with a properly working phone, he called police, told them I was a repeat customer who always starts trouble, makes unreasonable demands, disturbs customers so much that they can't do their business and have been complaining about me. ALL bald-faced lies. The police asked me outside, told me I'm banned from the store, if I come back, I'll be arrested for trespassing.
Still customer service reps and corporate store managers tell me go to the store, that is the only ones who can exchange the phone, or you can't exchange an Upgrade phone, All sales are final. Corporate Store did offer to order a new one from the manufacturer, but I'd have to pay for fees and shipping + $23. I've already paid metro for a properly working phone & should receive one from MetroPCS. They owe me a properly working phone. I tried to get the manager Tommy Gaines to exchange them, but he refused. I've appealed to customer service about 30 times, and they've done nothing to help get what I paid for.
Now the return time has expired. Everyone tells me I have to contact the manufacturer, metro can't do anything. So they just took my money and gave me a previously returned defective phone, and that's that. I just have to accept that they ripped me off and deal with a severly defective phone and pay more money to get the properly working phone that I paid this metrobyt-mobile store for.
A company is obligated to provide a properly working product for the money for it. This is a case of 2 dishonest employees intentionally screwing a disabled man out of his money and getting away with it.

Desired outcome: Properly working Motorola G Stylus, waived but still charged connection fee returned $23, waive resulting connection fee, Stress & Hardship compensation $106+, Jeremi & Tommy Gaines termination, & the ban from the store removed
