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

Metro by T-Mobile Dishonest employees, Defective phone, Anti-helpful customer service reps

Aug 14, 2021 I went to this MetroPCS store "Wireless Proz Pacific" at 6138 Pacific Ave Stockton California 95207, for a Motorola phone.Jeremi told said they had no Motorolas in stock & wouldn't hav more for a while. He pointed out a Samsung A02 & told me about it.
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

Metro by T-Mobile Mobile phone

Yesterday I was a victim of a sim swap. Someone went to a metro pcs store, (#400655) at either 10:20am or 12:20pm and switched my phone service over to their device. After doing so they used my phone number to change my email password and once done used both of those to change my Coinbase password. After that they converted everything I had in coinbase (4650 in assets) to Ethereum they then transferred it out to another account. I have the information trail of all of this saved in my email and on coinbases site. They then set my email to auto delete any emails from coinbase and when I reply to them my emails get flagged for spam and rejected when sending from the email that was hacked, i can not figure out how to fix this. I contacted customer service who saw when & where it happened but refused to give me that info lying saying they didnt know until finally giving up and telling me store number and time. All lea (#307309) did for me is give me a PO box & say to write them a letter before saying "have a nice day" and hanging up.

Desired outcome: Repayment of lost funds and prosecution of theives

This follow up comes almost 2 months after the intrusion. Tmobile contacted me and repeatedly let me know they only reason they did is because I filed this issue with the SEC. After sending almost 50 different attachments to prove the stocks I had and their value, they offered me 2500$. Their position was that because its crypto its value could be anything, as opposed to the actual value which is listed on any exchange. The actual value of those holdings if i still had them would be over 10, 000$. So despite wasting countless amounts of time proving to them the actual value of the account, they just pulled a random number out of the air and called it an offer. Rather than help their customers after illegally porting their phone over to an unauthorized 3rd party who uses it to rob them, they simply victimize you again as they try to get you to just go away and stop bothering them so they can get back to cashing checks. I was a customer of theirs for over a decade, and this is how they show their appreciation.

Metro by T-Mobile Excessive throttling, garbage service, garbage phones, prices

Last year I was paying $85 a month for 2 phones basic unlimited plan, this year I am paying 95$ and nothing has changed, since the merger with TMobile the service has somehow gotten even worse, throttling even right after I pay my bill. every time I go in to pay my bill I have some garbage person who smells like axe cologne and hookah smoke sell me more [censored]in phones for some reason, (I have to pay in person because my bank uses discover card, metro PCs doesn't accept discover). I would switch services but I've had this number for so long it's so established for me it would be such an unbelievable pain in the [censored] I don't know what to do. I despise this company, the "services" it attempts to supply, and the people that work there, I genuinely feel like they sell phones meant to fail so they can sell you "the newer one" which coincidentally comes out the very next month. The entire company seems structured around selling phones and service to drug dealers. They have succeeded at finding a way to make mobile technology the absolute biggest horror show of a convenience, of which they strive to lack in consistently. If my job didn't rely on my having a phone I would throw it out and never purchase another one because the past year with metro has been so traumatic. [censored] you Metro PCS, from the bottom of my heart. It's ironic because literally while I am typing this, sitting in the exact same spot I have been for minutes, my service drops entirely and my internet connection disappears, I had to wait like 5 minutes to upload this comment, living in suburban Milwaukee.

Desired outcome: Metro PCS should probably disappear, or be absorbed into a more reliable/consistent company

Metro by T-Mobile Poor customer service on the phone

My husband called our local store here in Winder, Georgia at 3: 36PM on June 25, 2021. He called top see about switching over from our current phone service, that we are unhappy with and to MetroPCS. We have had an account with MetroPCS but wanted to try another carrier, so the lady on the phone said that we had to pay $200 up front plus the $120 phone bill each month, and my husband who was sitting right in front of me, never once cussed at her, he just simply said that was a rip off, and when she realized he wasnt going to oblige by that, she hung up on him. And when my husband called back he asked to speak to the manager, which he was already speaking to, and the manager said that the lady that my husband spoke to, said that my husband was cussing at her and that was why she hung up on him. So not only did you not get our service back, nor ever will get our service back but your associate lied about a customer! AND I will make sure to share my experience on social media to make everyone aware of how unprofessional your associates are and their lack of customer service skills when it comes to answering the phone, and the fact that they lie!

Desired outcome: knock off the $200 reactivation fee

Metro by T-Mobile Took my payment and paid another number with it. I have proof!!!

Paid my bill as I have the last 5 yrs with no misses. I pay in cash because computers make mistakes. I went to Store "Nova 2" in Daytona Beach, fl and the guy charged my payment to another number. If it wouldda been off by a digit OK it's a mistake. This number was no where near my number. I called and they said they would extend my payment period 3 days and investigate. In 3 days they cut off my service. Didn't ask for the number it was charged to, the employee name, the store, the confirmation number or anything else. How would you investigate that?
Answer: you don't. Went again to the store and the employee said I would have to call to get it straightened out when he knows dam well by my receipt that I was cheated out of my money. Wonder how many others are being treated this way

Desired outcome: I want my money back and for Metro to do something aboutt heft in that store.

I came in for a new phone, but there was a high security code that I didn't know on my account. Marvin said sometimes dealers see a pretty girl and put a password on...
