T-Mobile USA fraudulent company

Today I started my day by trying to book a flight. Other than a drive to take my daughter to school, I spent all day trying to reach real people with this fraudulent company. I made calls to all the # T-mobile refrred me to and got the total run around and would end up on the same phone # I had called earlier. NEVER! !was I able to reach a real person with this company called, tlc. I had 4 option choices and, by the way I pay per minute for all my long distance, since ironically T-mobile 's services do not work here just out side of town! So I keep trying this long distance # and running up my bill. I happened to also hear of the PRICEMATCH and will try to see if they do as they say (tomorrow), because I checked after FINALLY booking by myself and the price is lower if i did my own booking than their prices EVEN WITH THE SO-CALLED free companion flight! get a grip on that for a scam!.
It gets better. Besides my daughter had to be alone after school due to the being tied up with this whole project (which it shouldn't be) I clearly clicked on the return flight that leaves Atlanta at 5:p.m.. (or 6) ish' p.m. The itenerary was identical from San Diego to Atlanta, though, but they, the return flights of very differing times, were on different pages. well ther it is and I can't change it or talk to a real person and I am booked onto a 6 am flight from Atlanta ! I don't know if the computer just got info from the first 1/2 of my itenerary and went with the cheapest and worst time or what. Maybe there is a person behind the scenes who directs this stuff to make more money for these ###s. Does anyone want to start a class action lawsuit? I'm in. they stole my money and time from my daughter and many other things I have to do.my email is: [protected]@gmail.com
I have tried to access the site and I am not allowed to as I already booked my very bad flight. So they make it harder yet.

Please be in touch for support and for class action lawsuit. maybe a law student will see this and decide it's good for their name or grade or money. We the public need to be safe. These are hard times and it is literally food or rent taken from people. It isn't right. Ms. M. Mcarthur

T-Mobile USA fraud and money

I took a contract out with t-mobile in September 2008, after about 2 months off being with t-mobile realised that i was overdrawn with my bank, i investigated this matter to find out that t-mobile had sent up 2 accounts with my bank details but in the name of Miss Cod.
after getting a refund from t-mobile i then realised on the 04/03/2009 that i was was again over drawn with my bank, after investigating i found that Mobile has taken 2 payments out instead of 1 this has caused me great stress and upset as i have spent hrs on the phone to the bank and to t-mobile .I now have to send a bank statement to t- mobile to prove what they have done.
I do i go about claiming compensation for my time, stress and bank charges?

T-Mobile USA not replace defective cell phone

It has been less than 6 mths of becoming a new customer with T-Mobile that I have been complaing of defective phones and have been complaining to cust serv to exchange for a different model. I had to write a letter to headquarters of complaint. Executive Cust Relations Dept called me to work things out. their answer was to accept a cheap free phone for 1 of the 3 defective phones and exchange the Shadow phone AGAIN even thou these phone is constanting having problems. They also said I can upgrade my phones but pay more out of pocket for the phone instead of exchanging the Shadows for a differnt model of the same price range I originally paid for them. I have to call headquarters back several times, before they return my call. They do not take my complaint seriously and do not care to solve this problem. I have been talking to headquarters for over 6 weeks and still have not gotten this problem resolved. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH T-MOBILE, they do not care for your business and do not treat you like an important customer. With this economy it is better to take your business to another cell phone company that will be happy to have your business and will handle your complaints quickly and courteously. T-Mobile will just keep giving your the run-around.

T-Mobile USA deceptive billing process

At the time of signing up with T-Mobile for a family plan, I was told clearly and repeatedly that there is NO activation fee. Unfortunately, the bill shows otherwise, there is US$140 activation fee. I immediately contacted T-Mobile billing department. They declined to provide credit to my account; they told me to contact the agent instead. The matter is still unresolved after making contact to the agent. As a consumer and customer, why should I have to go through these inconvenience to fight for their elusive mistake? I strongly believe this is a policy of deception; this type of business conduct is unacceptable and detrimental... It has never been any similar painful experience with AT&T or Verizon in the past!

I have had been lied to By T-Mobil, after previously being a Flex Family Plan member, I decide to not continue my service. It was my understanding that with the Flex Plan if I did not pay for the service I would not have it. After reciveing several bills for high dollar amount, I allow my service to be terminated. Just recently I deceide to try them One more time, I went to a down town Indianapolis T-mobil store and I inquired what I would have to pay restart my service. I was told if I select one of the new plans then they would wave the previous charges for early termination of my Flex-family plan. I paid the agreed upon amoun signed what I thought was a new agreement with new terms to have my service turned-off less than 7 hours later. and told that I now owe for the termination of my flex family plan, minus the money I paid for what I understood to be a new agreement.

T-Mobile USA fraud

I have been trying to book my free companion flight for a month now and no one will call me back. I tried contacting t mobile only to be hung up on. I am ready to just purchase both tickets but I am very angry they have scammed so many people. Does anyone have any advice on what can be done about it?

T-Mobile USA false advertisement

I've noticed that we have become a victim of this airline ticket scam by T-Mobile. I am very disgusted because it seems there is no recourse for the T-Mobile customers. What a horrible way to treat the people who is keeping your business alive. then when you want to discontinue service for them not living up to thier end of the deal they want to threaten you with $150 early disconnect.

I don't know what to do or where the burden of Blame lies at this point everything that was asked of us was completed and it is now march and we still have no tickets.

Sounds like a class action suit to me?!

The t-mobile companion flight is a joke. I am into the third day of banging my head against awall. I give up. After all the incurred expenses of trying to get help and paying for faxes @ $2.50 per (page as it is a long distance #), using gas and hours of time, paying for airline parking to try to resolve this with a person. I will now wait and see if I ever hear from them. next I will fight this chargr for all it's worht and do all I can. I see fromwhat others say nothing good will come out of this. I also now have Cal. attorney general's # but can't get thru threr eithr. sooo? we can all hope for a class action lawsuit.
Everyone: keep all records of papers, expenses, calling record etc. We may all need them to prove our case.

T-Mobile USA added unlimited text messaging service and then was charged for text messages

In November, I called T-mobile customer service to see if I could replace my damaged phone with a new phone without having to lengthen my contract. I have been a loyal T-mobile customer for 4 years. They said sorry, have to extend your contract, they even recommended my buying a new unregistered phone and switching the little PIN card(or whatever it is called) once I got the new phone. While I was on the phone with the rep, he suggested that I add on the unlimited texting plan since I had a few small charges for text messages. I am not a texting fool like some, but my wife was starting to use the feature more and more. So I said yes, please add that on to my plan. So I hung up the phone and told my wife, we now have the unlimited texting plan so feel free to text at will.

Well you can imagine what happened next. My next bill came in with 300 dollars worth of text messaging charges. I figured this would be an easy fix, I would just call customer service and explain it, and someone with a brain would look at my past history and realize this was all a mistake. The rep was pleasant and helpful, but acted like her hands were tied behind her back, I asked to talk to someone higher and was told they were not available. So I hung up, wrote a letter to accompany my bill and as life goes, time went by. I just received my second bill and again, it has the charge and of course now THEY are mad because they want the money of course. I have used the support section of My T-Mobile site and resubmitted my claim that I believed I was on the unlimited texting plan and that I will not pay for a mistake that one of their reps did. I will update this complaint as I continue the process. I think the thing that frustrates me the most is the lack of a willingness to listen/work any sort of solution to the problem with me. Even though the customer service reps were both pleasant and polite, they have absolutely no power to make any decisions, and the folks that do sit back and do not talk to the actual customers.

T-Mobile USA terrible company

T mobile blackberry wireless uma service is a sham. I purchased the blackberry curve from t-mobile for one reason only, they were the only company that offered an option where you could make calls via wireless through their UMA feature. As i travel internationally frequently and this service was recommended to me by someone else that had been using it, i purchased it.

This was in March of 2008. It worked fine for several months. I am in 20 inches away from my wireless router most of the day. All of a sudden, I start getting very large phone bills and my UMA feature is no longer working. I spent close to 5 hours talking to different techs ar tmobile trying to determine he cause of it all to no avail. I as most people have a hectic life and can't afford to spend endless hours on the phone with techs that can't help.

After receiving another huge phone bill, i called tmobile and after another 7 hours or so of dealing, with 'customer service' reps and techs, i come to find out that T mobile discontinued the compatibility with belkin routers (the one i use). Again, my UMA service worked just fine until all of a sudden, my bill goes through the roof. I spoke to supervisor Sherry. She credited part of the bill but not all of the overage. I explained that i was not happy as this is not what was sold to me and it sounded like classic bait and switch. They disabled the service so they could bill me on overage. I asked to have it escalated to the highest level because i am sure i am not the only person this has happened to. She then gave me supervisor Roland badge number [protected] who was no help. I asked to speak to his supervisor and was promised a call back. I have yet to receive this call.

This seems to be a very simple bait and switch. They sold me a service that worked for a while and all of a sudden, that service no longer works and i am charge huge overage fees. Does this sound like a class action lawsuit? I plan on filing complaints with the FCC and all other agencies I can think of. If there is a lawyer out there that sees this as a potential issue, please contact me.

This is a widespread problem, and it's questionable whether T-Mobile should even be allowed to charge a monthly fee for UMA service. Also, a lot of people were sold the Blackberry with the claim that it lets you do "Skype" calling, or free calls from wifi without mentioning that unless the monthly fee was paid, T-Mobile would bill as if it were regular air time.

If you are interested in joing a class action against T-Mobile, please contact Joshua at greenmountainlegal@gmail.com

T-Mobile USA poor service, dropped calls

I purchased a T-Mobile phone and, of course, the two year contract. I asked for the insurance also. 3 days later, my phone dropped out of my briefcase, into a puddle and never worked again. I went to the T-Mobile store in Ocoee and was told that there was no insurance and I would need purchase a new phone, at full retail. I was quite upset but, I did. My phone has never gotten satisfactory service, lots of dropped calls, garbled calls etc. I have called customer service three times. With no response, I went to the Ocoee staore again, and they put in a new sim card. New day, same problem. They are telling me that in order to get out of this useless contract, it will cost me $200.00 since I have only been in this contract for one year. his is very one sided. What about customer rights. STAY AWAY FROM T-MOBILE.

My partner and I both have seperate t-mobile accounts. We both have no service, or very little, when at his apartment so we are constantly dropping calls or the call becomes garbled or one sided (the person you called can hear you but you cannot hear them). Now here is the kick in the rubber parts, their nearest tower to my partner's apartment? 800 feet away! During a recent call to customer service, a manager came online and stated, "You know, if you complain too much, T-Mobile will cancel your account" EXCUSE ME?!?!?! Then he promptly hung up. I am willing to bet a years wages - cash - none there is no record of this call to them. I am waiting got T-Mobile to cancel our 10 year account - can they say milti-million dollar suit?

IN January or 06 I had to go to Chicago for a Family emergency. I was there for a week. While there I had the worse reception and coverage in any of my phones. I tried to complain about dropped calls and other problems, but I could never get through. When I got my bill it was $200, vs the normal $50.00. They charged me for 55 minutes. I counted 65+ minutes that calls were dropped and calls were lost since I had to recall them. (I had 4 calls in one minute) They offered a 25 dollars in credit. That was all she can do, I asked for a supervisor and got the same statement.

I then asked them if they knew what mail fraud was? They said what did that have to do with it. I said by placing this fraudulent bill in the US mail, they had committed mail fraud. And when they tried to extort more money than was supposed to be done, they became part of the mail fraud. I needed their full name so I can give it to the Federal Agents. They hung up.

Remember if anyone sends you a bill and it has falsehoods and they refuse to fix it, or they know it does (It is common to over bill on cell phone.) It is mail fraud. Look IT Up.

I have been a T-Mobile Costumer since October 2010. About a month ago, I enrolled in a prepaid plan. I have received messages from T-Mobile telling me that on May 22nd, it will upgrade my plan to unlimited internet (my original plan was unlimited talk, messaging and 100 MB web) with no additional cost. However, I used 34 MB out of the 100 MB last month.

I have no access to internet since Saturday morning, probably, at 4 am. I called T-Mobile customer services and the representative told me that he will call me back after he checks what is going on. He called me back and told me that "the technical support works on upgrading my plan, and it might take 24 to 72 hours to get the service back". I was convinced with that, and after 72 hours nothing changed. I called them many times, and every time they ask me to make the same thing (Troubleshooting); take off the battery and put it back ... go to option ...etc, . After all these calls, nothing happened and I got disappointed.

On May 23rd, at 11 AM, I went to the T-Mobile store that is located in 2nd Ave on 74th St, NY. The representative that works there told me that she can't help me with this issue and I have to call the customer service directly!

I decided to reach the fact of my problem, so at 10 PM, I called them and stayed on the line for 2 hours, talked to 4 persons (one was a representative of Blackberry). Finally, they told me that " to use your Blackberry with this plan you have to pay additional fees. I told them that I don't want this plan and please switch me to the old one, (I didn't ask them to upgrade my plan and at the same time this cell phone I have is registered on their system). They refused to switch me to the old plan that I had and told me my old plan is not available any more. I checked on T-Mobile website and found that the plan still exists.

I got tired with all this (this is not the first time I face an issue with T-Mobile). I want to get the good service that I am paying for.

This the first time I know that "upgrade" means "handicapped" service.

I used to have auto pay from my visa card but because of paydays not always falling in sync with my bill due day...I cancelled auto pay. Now three months later, T-Mobile has decided to remove a monthly payment from my debit card WITHOUT my authorization...leaving me with no money to buy the nitroglycerene and other needed heart medications I ordered online with my local pharmacey. After finally getting through to someone who sounded like she had a mouth full of marbles while talking too me, she reversed the payment...but I've seen no reversal in my visa account after waiting three weeks! Strange...they can take your money immediately when they want it...but take their sweetass time getting it back into your account ( and I KNOW FOR FACT...that an immediate reversal of funds can be made). Evidently...I have to have a forth heart attack now, to get them to do anything...or just die from no meds and let my attornety file a wrongfull death suit against them for failure to return an anuthorized transaction.

To Whom It May Concern,
I was completely dissatisfied with the TLC/T-Mobile Promotion. This promotion was not done in Good Faith.I will not be participating in any other promotions either. In 4-5 months time, I am going to Iraq and when I return, will likely end my contract with T-Mobile and return to AT&T/Cingular whom I had actually terminated my contract with to move to T-Mobile. Also I plan on informing my local newspaper regarding this issue.

I was excited about this promotion at first, as I have been planning to go to Florida in February, and this promotion seemed the best bet to help my costs. So I went to my nearest T-Mobile store and added a second line for my Fiance.

I had a few issues simply registering for the promotion. I received emails saying my account could not be validated on the Fly with T-Mobile website. I called in to T-Mobile and it took about 4 phone calls and one week before a technician discovered what the problem was. I was putting in my Primary account Cell number instead of the second line I had installed.

Once I received my email for validation at the beginning of December. I was informed in that email that I would not receive my Booking PIN for 31 days after activation of my second line, even though I had been a T-mobile customer for nearly a year prior. This made me rather upset as I was told in the store I would have the PIN once I was validated. This meant I would have to wait until the end of December to purchase the tickets for my flight. At this time, on Orbitz, the Flight I wanted was $102+tax for a total of $148, for one ticket.
I called roughly around a dozen times the following night I got my validation email to try to see if I could get the Booking PIN sooner since I had been misinformed. I called [protected] from there I was given [protected], the TLC concierge, and then from there to [protected]. During these calls I was transferred multiple times and dropped twice. I was on the phone for 80 minutes trying to get an answer as to if I could get my booking ticket earlier. By the end of the night, A TLC Rep emailed my info and request to her headquarters office or somewhere, and I received a reply 4 days later stating I could not get my booking PIN earlier.

I received my Booking PIN on December 29. On Orbitz, my flight had grown from $102 a ticket to about $116+tax. Upon logging into Fly With T-Mobile, the price was $712 +tax and booking fee. I am currently getting my home phone records to show how long and how many times I called. I was dropped once, spoke to many supervisors, and transferred quite a few times, No one could tell me why the prices on the website were 3x as much as any others.

I was informed of the Price Match policy with the 15% mark up and Also of the $30 a ticket booking fee for booking with an agent over the phone. I looked at other flights and dates on your site and all were equally as high on your site as oppossed to others.

After being extremely upset I decided to purchase the tickets on January 7th. I'd gone through all this trouble I might as well finish. At this point, the tickets on orbitz, (due to gas prices, timing, whatever) were $168, $214 with tax.

I called in to do the price match and the first person I talked to informed me that the 15% markup was added on to the Orbitz price with tax, the $214 price. I told her I had spoken with a supervisor just the other day and that was not the case. She placed me on hold to check with her supervisor and informed me that the 15% markup was indeed added to the taxed price of the price match. I hung up.
The second time I called I asked for the Supervisor and informed her of what had just happened and she apologized and informed me that I was correct, the 15% markup was not added to the taxed price.

They took my info, emailed thier pricematch office, and three days later I hadn't heard from anyone. Called on sunday, they said the price had changed and needed further approval. Was finally in contact with the person on the 13th and booked the flight.

It is now the 21st, and while writing this reply, I looked at the Flywith-mobile website for reference. I notice that there is now a Comparative Fare Promise. I also see that it states the comparative fare will be booked with the regular booking fee of $12.75 and not the $30 each. I am even more upset and disgraced with this whole ordeal.

Had I purchased Two tickets at the time I wanted and not gone through this hassel I would have paid a total of $296 including tax through Orbitz.
Each ticket at $102 for $204. With a $46 tax and other fees for $92.

Instead, because I suffered your promotion, I purchased one ticket and got a "Free" one for a total of $361.44 including tax.
One $168 ticket with a 15% markup at $193.20. With $54.12 tax and $30 booking.
The one ticket I purchased through you was $277.32 with tax.
And then another $84.12 ($54.12 tax and $30 booking) for the "Free" ticket.

I am waiting for the rest of my phone records to come in. I plan on sending my local newspapers and News Stations copies of my exhausting ordeal with this "promotion"

I too have been scammed by T-Mobile with their companion flies free offer. I did book through their TLC Marketing and paid $523 for two tickets. If it were true what they were advertising, I found the exact same flight they were offering through Travelocity for $197 for one ticket. With their two for one offer, I feel that I have been screwed out of over $300. This was a big disappointment to me as I have also been a satisfied customer with T-Mobile almost as long as they have been in business...so much for loyal customers. I think there needs to be a class action lawsuit against the company for this kind of behavior.

The "free companion flight" promotion is the best scam I have fallen for so far. It seems like there are few routes that are available on this promotion and the prices are ridiculously expensive. One might even find a cheaper fare on travelocity.com or other places. I am truly disappointed with T-mobile’s involvement with such promotion. I have been with T-mobile for about 6 years and this will be my last year with the company. Please don’t fall for such “promotion.”

I actually got my pins (I have 3) with no problem. I wanted to take advantage of the price match option since the advertised fare for my ticket was $188 roundtrip and the price listed on their website was around $500. I had them verify my price over the phone and they sent it to the price match people. It took a LONG time for it to be approved and I was worried the advertise fair would expire, but luckily the fare stayed cheap for awhile. Someone called me and said that my fair had been approved, but that the flight I wanted didn't have any availability yet. She said that the airlines usually release more special fare tickets as it gets closer to the departure date and she was confident that I could get the flight I wanted (I had other family flying on that specific flight). I didn't have her schedule a alternate flight because I had over 4 months until my flight date, and she assured me that if something didn't come available we could always get something comparable later. She told me that she could keep checking the availability weekly and let me know when something became available. All that happened 3 months ago, and now my travel date is 5 days from being within the prohibited 30 day time frame. In that time period I have called and left voice messages with the "price match people" to call me back and I have called the ticket concierge line and was told that the price match people had to order my ticket so THEY sent a message to have someone call me and I have sent an email with my situation. I never heard from anyone. I have been trying all the numbers I used previously (the ones listed above) and now they all refer me to [protected]. This is the number that has been closed all week and just tells you they are busy and call back later. I finally called T-mobile directly and she said she would write up an email and send it through her supervisor to the travel company, because there is a known issue with nobody being able to get through this week. I am at a lose as what to do. The ticket that was a great deal at $188 for so long is now $320 through the airlines. I can't afford the new higher price and already bought tickets for the rest of my family at the lower price 3 months ago. There is no way I am taking my kids to Washington DC without my husband to help. So now I have 3 purchased tickets that are useless unless I can get 2 more. I have a feeling that I am screwed.

I have been trying for 3 weeks to book flights from Phoenix to either Oregon or New York. Online, I have attempted to find any available dates and times in late June, anytime in July, August, or early September. Guess what, nothing is available at any date or time! Twice I have called the [protected] phone number, and each time a recorded message tells me that I am not calling during the times they are open even though it is actually during their designated time. I am extremely disappointed in T-Mobile. Why would they put on a promotion that brings ill-will to so many customer-- people who could end up being loyal customer for years and years. (Their customer service has been none too good in trying to solve other problems. Since becoming a customer in December, it has taken monthly communication, both on the returning bill, and with service representatives, to have payments taken directly out of my checking account. Customer Reps are always pleasant, but don't seem to be able to make this billing option happen. We'll see when the next statement comes whether the latest rep was finally able to make this happen.) I can't imagine T-Mobile being in business 5 years from now.

IMPORTANT NEWS! TLC [protected]) has been closed this entire week - no one at either Tmobile or Caliber (the company who took over the 2007 promotion when TLC screwed that one up-[protected]) knows anything - the Tmobile folks were told that the promotion was again being transferred to Caliber, the Caliber people say their President has assured them that they will NOT be taking over this promotion.

After having spoken with Caliber AND Tmobile on 6/1 and 6/3, I spoke with Tmobile AGAIN today at [protected] - the rep I spoke with involved her supervisor, who is sending my information to the President. I have been assured that I will receive an email in the next few days to tell me what they are going to do about my inability to get a flight. Up until now, I have tried for 3 months to make one flight and have NEVER found a flight available. I have been with Tmobile since it was VoiceStream and have NEVER encountered such a mess. I believe they will eventually get it straightened out, but in the meantime, this really sucks! My cruise isn't until 11/08, so here's hoping they figure out something by then.

Today is my worst day ever this year. I spent whole night to book a silly ticket through website T-mobile authorized for my family annual event. This morning the representitive of TLC told me peacefully that there was NOTHING in the system, i have to WAIT and FREQUENTLY CHECK ONLINE, (HOW OFTEN? TWICE A WEEK ! ) UNTIL there have been some PROMOTIONAL TICKETS OCCSIONALLY AVAILIBLE . WHAT IS THAT? A SERIOUS PROMISE OR SILLY JOKE? WHO WILL BOOK A RANDOM TICKET FOR FUN? That is absolutely unaccetptable! I transfer the plan from ATT to Tmobile for this highlight promotion, however they treat me like dump. Honestly, if tmobile wrote this policy clearly like this, i definately would not change to it, which offer higher monthly charge and non-rollover plan. Now they eat their words freely and lose my loyalty forever.

T-Mobile USA irresponsible corporate behavior

A valued client as they say. For 8 years, less than 100 USD per month charges, ohhh suddenly it's 2000! Makes sense right?

T-mobile - thanks for letting me know that my phone bill in a few days ended up in 2000 USD. Oh, T-Mobilester couldn't have suspended the account? Any refund for the obvious fraud which I've reported several times? Not a single dollar, simply outrageous.

Short sell T-Mobile, never sign a contract with them. Worst client service, oh sorry they don't have that nor client retention policies. Rubbish firm that will go bust soon. Make money on them by selling their stock.

Good luck to the next consumer, may T-Mobile go down as a crook they are.

T-Mobile USA false claim

Hi my name is Sandra Antoine and I was sent to the collection agency by T-mobile wireless. I've paid all of my bills but they're telling me that I have a past due balance from my previous account which doesn't make sense to me, because T-mobile won't let upgrade/resign your contract without paying the pass due balances on the account. So if you can respond back with any information as soon as possible I would appreciate it. If any questions i can be reached on [protected] or by email [protected]@hotmail.com Account number: [protected]-A Thank You!

Sincerely,

T-Mobile USA free airline tickets for signing up

I have done everything that was required to sign up for 2 free airline tickets when you sign up for the my faves contract. I am scheduled to fly on Feb 13, 2009. I haven't even been called yet. I have been calling T-mobile and TLC Marketing since before August 2008. They say my account has open task since August but nobody bothers to call, they just ignore you. I have never in my life seen such bad customer service and false advertising as T-mobile. If I don't get my tickets, I am prepared to file a class action suit based on this scam. This year we signed up again for another 2 yr contract and was giving a buy one ticket get one free airline ticket, and if you read about this process the tickets for one are prices higher than any airline out there. What is T- Mobile thinking, this is no way to keep loyal customers or to get new ones! I will cancel my phone service and go somewhere else.

If you got your booking PIN just go on line to

http://www.flywitht-mobile.com/welcome/lets-get-started.aspx

You enter your pin and select the flights. I just booked 2 tickets from JFK-Las Vegas and right after I booked them I went to AA's web site and the reservation was there. It really is set up as a Web Booking process and although you can do it by mail you can tell from your results that it doesn't work too well. Good Luck

We have had the same problem. First of all, it took forever to get the booking request forms. We finally received them about six months ago. I sent in the request form for my son to return home from college for spring break in mid-March 2009. I sent the request form to TLC in mid-January (they request 30 days between booking and departure dates as stated on the form - I allowed about 60 days). As stated on the form, we were supposed to be contacted within 14 days. It has been 5 weeks, and we have not heard a word! I have tried to contact them many times, and have left numerous messages to no avail.

How sad is it that the incompetence and negligence of a company has ruined the plans of a young college student to visit his family over spring break. This is a scam and both TLC and T-mobile should be held accountable.

I have read numerous stories about people experiencing the same situation with TLC and T-mobile. It is false advertising and a class action lawsuit should be filed.

We plan to cancel our T-mobile plan as soon as the contract is up.

T-Mobile USA super over charges

T Mobile charges me for $3, 500.oo because of the international roaming charges, that"s what they explained, but on the bill, they used megabytes, not per minute system! And their reasoning because of the foreign control tower, that they assosciated with.!
Before the New Year 2017, I spoke with one of the Customer Service Representative, & she mentioned that my bill is very high like a $1, 000.00 so I ask her to stop the international roaming, & she said yes, so I thought that I can breath, because it stop! Would you believe that? TMobile bill arrived, and the bill sky rocket high!
Now I realize that TMobile Staff were educated to cheat the Consumer's, & I hope that, whoever who own this Company & their assosciates, they can bring their money in h_ _ _!

I asked some help from the Cosumers Complaint Department in our County to investigate it! I will do the right & better procedure. I still stay with the TMobile, not because Iam loyal to them...NO! I'll finish the contract, then I will decide, whether what is a reasonable cell phone company, because I realize, after all, they are the same!

I have had the same bill for 27 months. This month, my bill was double. The explanation is that I went over my minutes, which is ridiculous, as I wouldn't have had time to eat or sleep with that many minutes of overage. They can show me a list of calls made, all from familiar #s, but who is to say that this is correct? I have been given $50 for being a loyal customer. I refused and asked for $100. They told me I had already accepted the $50 credit, which I most certainly did not, and said the case was closed. When I 1st saw the bill, I called to ask about it. Turns out i was (allegedly) over by 480 minutes. The ironic, and angering part, is that I was then offered a new plan w/ 500 more minutes for the same price! Is that a slap in the face or what?

I know an engineer who works in the text messaging part of T Mobile. He has a site he can log on to and just by putting in a cell number, from any carrier, he can pull up that phones text history...full on messages to and from, every word. Now I can understand tech needing to see some history, but I don't see the benefit of them having to see actual messages. Plus, I thought it was not legal for anyone to access your personal messages, at least without consent. This engineer has used his access to track and down right spy on the person he's dating, as well as friends of his lovers. Is he overstepping and using his position out of protocol or policy? Is there anything to be done and to whom?

Recently we have gotten a new phone from T-MOBILE that should have been a family plan but so I can get a bigger discount we agreed to pay 1 line as an individual line for 1 month and guess what up to now after how many months they been charging me the other line as an individual line so thats an additional 30 dollar monthly we call they always make a mistake and apologize for it. I said that feels like a conspiracy I'm losing money because your costumer representative made an error informing us that someone call for our line to be separated Are we that stupid, to call them so we will pay more, they are a big company so I am not sure if they train their costumer representative to made errors so the company earn more at the consumer behalf after all the charges that they normally add in a bill they still have to have trained people to make error and make them richer some more, I will never want to be a part of this company, its like a parasite sucking whatever it can suck, they always apologize but I am losing money for their errors, T MOBILE I AM PISSED and ALL will KNOW.

A shout-out to JD Powers... I don't know what T mobile is paying you but they are definitely not number 1 in customer service... I just spent 45 minutes trying to simply pay my bill... My phone was dead... I went to pay my bill online... because I cannot remember the pin I could not sign on... they will not communicate over the phone or by email without the pin... the only way to get the pin is through a text to my dead phone, which even when turned on, does not receive and did not ever receive texts... I have no texting capabilities... I tried to explain this to the "human" I finally spoke to after 30 minutes of AWESOME automation... turns out... the humans are just as robotic as the automated system... the system does not understand "customer service" no matter how loudly you shout at it... it just keeps asking you for stuff you don't have... like your pin... kill me... the human informed me that without the pin I cannot get the pin... ok... what?... T Mobile Sucks... they don't listen and are incapable of understanding the fact that their system is greatly flawed... however,,. thanks... I am going with straight talk...

this is becoming a joke, i just came out of a 2 yr contract, so i found a nice family value deal on the TMobile site, Unlimited Talk + Text for 4 lines for $99.98 i figured why not check into it. A TMobile Chat Rep came on and offered to help me during my selection... Ilene's offer was if i would agree to a 2 Yr contract i could get Unlimited Talk + Text for 4 lines for $79.98, So i liked the offer and on 3.3.23 i agreed to a 2 Yr contract... Ilene walked me thru the process online, and did a great job... i was given an order #.. and asked to complete the application, which i did, at the end i was referred to customer care, in chatting with customer care i repeated my question by asking about the 4 line for $79.98.. I was told i was absolutely correct...today 2 wks later, i make a phone call to activate the new sim cards TMobile send me... to my surprise i find out that the deal was completely messed up and wrong, i was told the first 2 lines are for $79.98 and each additional line will cost me additional $20 per line... i am in deep shock and i asked to speak to a supervisor, as i spoke with Peter, he was no help.. so i decided to call customer care, i was told there were no supervisors available and i was promised one would call me in less than 2 hours, now 4 hours later i am still waiting... No Let me tell everyone about what i did, during my conversation with both TMobile Reps, i copied the entire conversations and saved them both... i have the transcripts and willing to fax them to any interested TMobile Director, in the meantime i am seeing a legal advice, if permitted by law i will post the entire transcript online for everyone viewing.

I placed an order through via phone with T-Mobile. I ordered a lg tablet on the fathers day promotion. I made a payment the same day along with via email and phone verification. I received the sims cards and the starter kit, but I never received the tablet. I received a package weighing 2 pound and the documents said a lg tablet was suppose to be inside of it, but was not. I file a investigation with the company. it has now been 15 days later, and I still have not received my product. now to tell my ordered was never received and they need to place a new investigation.

T Mobile are full of liars and agents that make false promises. I manage a Customer Service Deparments and would never allow this form of service to be acceptable to anyone.

The problems all began when I first opened my account, at that point I should have followed my husband's advised and disconnect my service and run, but I decided to give them another chance. They put me on a contact when I wanted a month to month plan to try out their service. I was billed 2x in the first month and I was informed by an agent that this in the normal process and I would not see a bill the following month. I thought "maybe" this was the normal pratice, even though I did not see it documented anywhere in their Terms and Agreement. When the next month arrive so did another bill... by T Mobile. I was upset and called T Mobile to find out my account was not properly noted. I had to send in my statements to prove I was charged 2x because they did not see it in their system, again lies! Since I had the proof they had to credit my account. ( T Mobile account they did not give me back the cash they stole) My daughter lost her phone and decided she no longer needed it since she was being put on a better plan with my husband who had the smarts to select another carrier. I called to cancel my service and was informed I was in a contract and would get a $200 cancellation fee! I was above upset. I was upset when I saw the fee because I had called and I spoke with several agents including a supervisor and I was told since they could confirm the telephone did not have activity and they would cancel the line and waive the fee. I was then offered a plan for individual service of $39.99. I was told the plan includes night & wkends, mobile to mobile and 1000 anytime min. I needed text message so I was told I could receive all the mentioned services and text message for an additional $10.00. The following month when the price plan took place ONCE AGAIN...I FOUND OUT I WAS TOLD ANOTHER LIE. I was being charged the $200.00 for early cancellation and the price plan I decided to take for an additional $10.00 which totaled $49.99 DID NOT HAVE TEXT MESS. Ok will the lies ever stop? I get ill when I have to contact them because I know it will take me at least an hour of telephone lies to end where I started. I guess I keep trying to believe their is someone their that will NOT lie, but I now know this is wrong. I have now decided to record my calls and I want to cancel all my lines because no person deserves this form of treatment.

As a consumer I pay my monthly service for a SERVICE... not to have someone on the telephone spill out lies after lies.

I would NEVER recommend T Mobile to anyone not even an enemy... They do not deserves this form of pushiment.

We do not live in Midland. We live in small west Texas town and commute forty miles one way to shop there. We are a family of five and each has a mobile cell phone with the same provider. We have had the same provider for eight years. Our current contract ended this month (December 10). In anticipation of the contract's end, my wife and I decided to shop around providers. So, we drove to Midland in October. We found exactly what our family needed with the T Mobile "Kids are Free" Family Plan. We were told by the Kiosk salesperson that the Kids Are Free plan goes until the end of December. This was great for us because our contract ended December 10 and we could make the switch without being charged fees for early termination. Today (December 14) we drove to Midland to switch providers and sign on with T Mobile. We got there and we were told that T Mobile had pulled its Kids Are Free offer "back in November."
I am upset and disappointed. An 80 mile round trip based on the premise that the Plan was still available. The plan would have cost us $89 per month for two years. Instead, we were shown a Plan that would have cost us $160 per month for the same services. Needless to say, we are back with our current provider at the "low" price of $129 per month.
I will never shop for service with T Mobile again. You cannot trust the company to stand behind its product offerings for the length of time advertised. Why shouldn't it suffer an early termination fee for yanking the Kids are Free promotion before the advertised deadline?

T-Mobile USA billing

T-Mobile is a very dishonest company. I returned a phone that simply quite working. I was told to return it via UPS in order to receive a new phone. I was also told by the rep in the store, where I returned it, that the particular phone that stopped working, had many returned by many people and had reported complaints and was discontinued by the company due to its poor quality. That was two months ago.
Today, after paying the bill and expecting my service to work I was informed that my service was suspended, because I have been charged a 100.00 out of warranty fee for the returned phone. The company states that the phone has water damage so therefore is not covered. But the phone did not have water damage, unless they poured some water on it after they received it. The phone simply stopped working. I now have to pay 100.00 in order to use my phones even though I have paid my monthly charge. I have never received anything in writing about a fee for the phone, I am just supposed to take their word for it. This company is CRAP!

They are always looking to nickel and dime. Bills never come in a timely manner, due on the 7th and late charge assessed on the 8th, no grace period. Very poor customer service, they won't give you a last name, no accountability and they never probably note your account. Have called many, many times about my bill not coming on time and it not being available online but they don't care, they just want there money or an excuse to charge late charges. There should be a law against no grace period!

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."

T-mobile would not return my adjustment money. They said because they can only go back to 2 month in order to do the adjustment. ( i didn't see the bill because i was out of the country )I think THIS IS WRONG. They were the one made the mistakes, yet i have to pay their mistakes. Can somebody tell me what to do?

I have been a loyal customer for T-mobile since 2007 and it seems like they keep getting worse every time they slap all these unknown charges and make your paper bill look like it is in a foreign language I have upgraded my phone and everything was fine until my new phone was sent to me and I had a second line on it I did not ask for a second line. I called customer service to inform them they told me to send the phone back and reorder the phone so within the next 24 hrs that’s what I did exactly after a week later I had to call them and wait for hrs to get to another rep and they so called canceled the second line and I reordered my phone to the original phone line at the time the phone was on sale and I was available for the upgrade the rep he was great so I thought he said he will charge me $149.99. for the phone The next billing cycle my phone bill was over $ 400.00 dollars they have charged me for the extra phone line and charged me for unused usage charges for that second phone line and told me I should pay for it and there was nothing I can do about it I did not understand what I have been charged it’s sad that it’s a communication company that all employees there do Not have communication I keep getting bounced to another rep every time they make you hold for hours until your phone dies and hangs up on them because that’s what they want you to do this company is awful.

seems every 3-4 months they try to bill extra on services that i do not use nor need. it's always web access on my phone...i don't even text (have a block on that) much less use the web on phones, which is why i don't own a smart phone. had a block installed on the web access too (which i requested before but seems like they didn't) by a supervisor? named sabrina, at least that's what she said her name was. lets see what happens this...can't wait to get out of this contract and then just go prepaid.

I cancelled my contract with T-Mobile in March 2012 because they do not serve the area in which we are now living. T-Mobile continued to bill me thru July 2012. That is four months of incorrect billing. They have acknowledged two months worth of credits but still have not corrected the credit nor refunded the credit! Customer service refuses to help me because my contract has been cancelled. Ridiculous!

T Mobile has over charged me a $349 bill this month, we had cancelled a $17 plan and they had told us we had not cancelled it. They had no explanation for the $17 fee that they charged us which we had already cancelled. They told us that it is a 4g network but it is not 4g service. Very dishonest and they promise you many good services and once we joined they had lied to us. Very dishonest company and customer service is just as bad.

T-Mobile USA everything

Besides sprint. T-mobile is the worst wireless provider that I have ever had to deal with. Customer service is horrible and need to shut up while lying to customers or go through extension customer service training to learn how to treat customers. The billing department will tack on charges that you have never heard of before with any other wireless provider. Every month prior to opening my bill I had to brace myself for charges that are illegally on my bill. When I would call about the unknown charges on my bill and ask for a manager or a supervisor, they were just as bad and no help. I am very upset that I had to pay t-mobile a 200.00 early out fee to to get away from the worst disaster of my life. They do not care about customers they just want out money. How about everyone that is interested in filing a class action lawsuit against t-mobile get together and just do it and get back some of the money that was stolen from us by t-mobile. If interested please email me at [protected]@comcast.net. The t-mobile customers in other states such as california did it and won. They can not continue to still from customers like this.

T-Mobile USA Termination Fee

I am a single mother with two kids, and my main income is talking to clients over the cell phone. Around Aug. I have made frequent complaints to T-mobile letting them know that when i continued my contract with them i expected the same type of service. The lack of service was due to a tower being down within my area, so i asked them how long will this take to get fixed. They told me about three months. I asked the customer service rep how will i continue to make income to pay for my means and my cell phone bills if i continue to experience drop calls. The person stated the there was nothing they can do and they definately will not wave my early termination fee due to drop calls. T-mobile is known for what... " fewest drop calls". I refuse to pay 600.00 for my early termination because i chose to due business with a company that works for me.

I took out a phone on contract for my daughter, unfortunatley, she lost her job, i contacted t. mobile and was encouraged to take out a bigger contract. then realised that this was really poor customer service, and as a manager at tesco, on the non food department, it is now going to be my mission to advice anyone and everyone to take out a phone on every other contract! and the ignorant, unhelpful, smug, usless (yes, sheraz, this means you!) t. mobile customer service assistant, can go whistle. I do have to say thank you to 'amy' for trying. But please, what a bunch of idiots! and as a manager at Tesco, please go to any other network because these are the worst i have ever dealt with!
