Metro by T-Mobile customer service/ negative employee performance

I am a very long time and loyal Metro PCS customer and small buisness owner in the Culver City, California Community, every month i come to the same Metro PCS location to pay my bill. The customer service in the last 4 visits ive made has become increasingly lacking i.e: employees socializing on the sales floor instead of assisting customers, employees eating at counter, employees only speaking spanish between eachother then laughing which will of course make any non spanish speaking customer feel extremely uncomfortable. Today a newer associate "Mario" is what it says on my receipt, was busy flirting with a fellow employee, i had to walk up and actually greet him, i paued my bill, he took my number but didnt confirm my info, then i asked about an add for a free phone and his response was "No, not for you..." i was a little taken aback so i asked to clarify and he said "you gotta cone from another place...well check ya number..." then proceeded to tirn his attention, i was mid sentence TRYING to tell him i have my buisness cells in a different company and would like to switch all 4 of my lines to metro which would in fact qualify my for that offer, but he decided he was done with helping me and talked with the associate who looked to be leaving. He didnt say thank you, have a nice day, see you soon, good bye, nothing. Im not happy and i feel mu buisness is unappreciated frankly because today it was made clear to me it isnt. At all. I wouldnt accept half the disrespect Mario showed me today from any of my employees, not for one minute. They are the face of the buisness and need to respect the customers who keep their job on payroll or they should give their job to someone who will appriceate beung employed and treat customers how they should be treated. I hope Metro will reach out to me promptly and rectify this situation and i really hope next month that the atmosphere and employee performance is acceptable because today was not, not even close and i will not continue with metro pcs if there is no improvement.

Metro by T-Mobile price

I had 2 phones on a account and removed one of them have been paying for the lowest plan since it was for my son he really does not need internet. So at 25.00 i kept his phone on with metro. I payed his bill today and phone was shut off. I called and was told that i owed another 30 dollars that his plan went to 40? I did not change the plan and i have been paying 25.00 for months... I can transfer his line and get it for 25 anywhere else. I asked for a refund since she would not turn phone on she told me 8 days it took you 30 seconds to take the money from my account and i have to wait 8 days to receive my money? Terrible customer service. I will make sure i put on fb how much of frauds this company is.

Metro by T-Mobile phone plan

I have had Metro PCS for almost two years. The plan I have is $50 with unlimited data and text and I had 8GB of hotspot data. I recently added a line to my account and now no longer have access to the hotspot. I called customer service to be told that I hotspot was not included with my plan. I attempted to explain that one had access to hotspot with my plan the entire time I've had this service. Since I've added a line is when I had an issue. Spoke with a supervisor, would not let me explain, added two GB of hotspot only for me to still not be able to use hotspot. Told me that I would have to "upgrade" my plan to a $60 plan to have access again.

Metro by T-Mobile fifteen dollar activation fee

Unfortunately dropped my phone in water. Had to purchase a new phone and charged a fifteen dollar activation fee! Seemed very unnecessary since my phone was activated and had been a customer over two years. It appears that Metro PCS has joined the no customer service band wagon. Will be searching for another carrier immediately. No customer service and bogus charges are not a desirable way to build a loyal customer base.

Metro by T-Mobile my private number is registered on metro pcs webpage as a store's number

March/2017

Phone number [protected]

I keep receiving calls from metro pcs costumers on my private number, 10-15 calls every day! because metro pcs has my number registered as a store number, on their web page, on google maps and I don't even know where else. There store address is 716 Rockaway Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11212. I have complained several times via chat on their webpage and they say they provide a ticket about the issue and that it will be resolved in 72 hours. Doesn't happen, this has been going on for months.

I want them to update the info about that store and remove my number as it's contact number, I want to keep my number, and I don't want to block unknown callers

Metro by T-Mobile switching service provider from consumer cellular to pcs metro

I switched my service from Consumer Cellular to PCS Metro. Was told for switching I could receive a free phone that was valued under $100. I had the service transferred but I'm now being told I cannot have the phone because the phone number was not transferred to it as well even though I was never told that I could not have the phone if I didn't transfer the number. I should have been informed of the policy before switching my service. I've gone back to the store which is located at 988 Civic Center Drive, suite c, Vista California 92083. I've tried discussing this issue with the supervisor and was told that that I am not going to be allowed that phone which is the LG K20 Plus. All I want done is the number be transferred to the LG phone and I will be satisfied. It seems like a no-brainer. I'm ready to switch carriers after 30 days because because of the lack of customer care at that store.

Metro by T-Mobile cell phone messages going to other cell phones

I have had a month to month acct. with Metro PCS for 2 years. The account happens to be under my name.

On this account I have 3 phones. All with different cell phone numbers. I will furnish my account information when I receive a response.

I just found out that "some of my personal messages" have gone out to the other 2 phones. My number is [protected].

To make this easier to explain, I have been inquiring about a Mortgage Loan from a variety of lenders. The messages that I have sent do not go to the other 2 phones, but the reply that I receive from the banks some answer's are going to the other 2 phone lines. We have compared the responses and this has me very concerened.
Please contact me at [protected] after 12 noon.

Sincerely,

Mark Rogowsky

Metro by T-Mobile independent metro pcs store

Metro pcs located at 1707 avenue M!
They are operating a very unfair way of doing business with people. The salesman told a consumer that her phone was old and garbage and it's broken and doesn't work anymore! But to the contrary it only needed its monthly payment ! Her phone was only 2 years old and he wrongfully told the consumer her phine does not work anymore. The salesman speaks English and the consumer only speaks Spanish and can not understand English . I feel that the consumer was taken advantage of and now owns 2 phones and can not afford two phones, I had asked the salesman to turn off the second phone and apply her payment to her old cell phone and he said he was unable to do so, he told her just to not pay the next months service! But she is stuck with a second phone.

Metro by T-Mobile horrible csr

You have a young black female making a vulgar livestream on Facebook, which has made its way to YouTube. The store location is 5300 North State St. suite 200
Jackson, Miss. Her name is Shaquida Wingard and she actually made the video while CLEARLY at work, on the clock, inside and outside the store, and in work uniform. Employees like this have made me leave one location in the Atlanta area because a male employee wreaked of marijuana smoke and was CLEARLY high. This is a horrible look for your brand.

Metro by T-Mobile my service cut off

To whom it may concern,

My name is Christopher Rabel and I reside in Miami Florida I am writing to inform you that I had to evacuate due to Hurricane Irma I called your customer service department several times. The only thing I was able to do was to get an extension. I was not able to speak with any representative I did not have any power due to the hurricane and no electricity at all. Alot of the towers were down and had very little to no connection at all. I think I should have been acomodated some kind of way because I didn't receive a full month of service.

Best Regards,
Christopher Rabel

Metro by T-Mobile metro pcs scams the elderly/senior citizens

My Mother a elderly senior citizen went to our metropcs store we have been going to and buying phones for 7 years at 1259 Ariana St. Lakeland Fl. Luis and the active Manager Kal are unethical and lying scam artist. My mother took her phone to this store and asked why isn't my phone working? they said it "Overheated and ruined" and she had to buy a new phone, The phone ONLY had a dead battery and needed charged and works PERFECTLY we learned 5 min after she bought the new phone which Luis and Kal pushed HARD for her to buy the upgrade package.. Of course they say now upgrade purchases are non refundable and they would not take the 20 min old phone back IF it was a upgrade phone? went back home and called corporate metro pcs and rep "rose" told us to go BACK to that store and ask 2 things, ask for the manager and a refund and take the phone back, again Kal refused and rose then talked to the manager which he got tired of talking to her and gave my phone back to me and demanded we leave the store, I then said its WRONG for you to lie and scam senior citizens to make a 180 dollar sell, he then acted like he was calling the police.. remember corporate "rose" TOLD us to go back there, it was a lie he never called the cops, I stayed on the phone with rose/ metropcs hoping the cops would show, we did NOTHING wrong. Rose then gave us lakelands cooperate office at 3137 US hwy 98 Lakeland, fl and she said they will take the phone back and return our money, went there and acting manager Maribel said since we didn't buy it there she cant help, we filed a compliant at that "corporate Lakeland office"? says they are out of texas in the web site. This Ariana location that is taking advantage/ lying to elderly/ senior citizen is wrong, unethical and scamming our elderly less tech savvy citizens. that basically sums up our 5 hours of torture with Metro PCS, I wont let elderly be scammed lied to and ripped off. I will picket and write/ call the proper entity's daily until this is Corrected

Metro by T-Mobile no refund on accessories?

Purchased a 2 screen protectors for for lg arista phone. The rep stephanie provided a screen protector that didn't fit the phone but then didn't want to refund the 2nd screen protector when we seen that the first protector didn't fit. Now mind you both protectors were purchased. The store rep states that we cannot return accessories once purchased. Now i asked how was that to be known if she didn't state that prior to the transaction. She told me that the policy is on the receipt. Well, now how does that make sense when i still have to purchased the item in order to get a receipt? therefore i can still not return the item because i already purchased it. No one had left the store, the item had no been tampered with. $15 on an item that is of no use to me down the drain. When i asked for a manager no manager is in the store to help in situations like this.

Metro by T-Mobile rebate for a lg phone

The first of April 2017 I bought a new lg phone, there was a 60 dollar rebate I sent in on the third it said it was approved I never got it I emailed about it august 1 and was told it was re authorized I should receive my card within thirty days. I did not so I emailed again this month. I was told the card was sent out in April but never activated, that he was having another on issued and I should expect it to take up to twelve weeks again. I've been a customer for over 8 years, this is absolutely unacceptable to have to wait 7 months for something that was approved in less then one day. I checked consumer affaires and found many other reports of the same problems. Get it together metro
