T-Mobile USA
reviews and complaints

About 4 months ago we saw advertisements from T-Mobile stating that we could receive 2 IPhone 12s at NO COST TO US. Sounded like a wonderful deal, so we thought we would change from Verizon to T-Mobile. The service is okay and I have no real complaints about that. However, the FREE phones is a total scam. Today I spent 1-1/2 hours on the telephone with T-Mobile (this was the third time I called about this issue). The representative was very nice - gave me a credit for the installment plan for one month only. At the time of the promotion we were told we would receive 2 screen savers for our devices, which we were also being charged for. She did manage to credit us for that monthly cost, but not the monthly cost of the phones. I will advise anyone I can not to believe the promotions that you hear about because they are a total lie. After over 20 years with Verizon I trusted their word. I made a mistake. [protected]

Had good service with t-mobile until I had to temporarily stop service due to additional costs due to Covid. I was told to pay full month service even though I was going to cancel one day into month. A supervisor said I would get back $86.00 after stopping service. 3 months later still no refund. Spoke to many "expert" staff who just lied to me. They finally said once I closed the account they wouldn't be able to give refund due to there system, doesn't make sense I can't ask for refund until after I close account. Was also charged a extra month for Netflix which they also cancelled my service on that first day. So many people lied to me and prolonged to refund process, they must be hurting for money and I hope they go out of business. I highly don't recommend t-mobile, it will cost you in the end….

T-mobile lies. They claim there (Nokia) Internet gateway product will work at my location, bot 5G and 4G. The device configuration screen shows no 5G at all and poor Internet at 4G. Their "coverage" map shows otherwise. Corporate troubleshooter agreed to return and cancellation.

I had sprint and T-Mobile took over and I decided to change so I got a return goods and sent back all my devices .The customer service person led me to believe that wood be I and now I have a collection company trying to exstort me for 206.55 RPMangagment. has anyone else had this problem?

Hello,
My account with t-mobile : [protected]
On January 2021, I canceled my account to switch to Verizon. I have 4 lines, one of them is ported to Verizon.
I called in to cancel the whole account, at that time, all of the automatic payment, payment for a phone were all payoff.

Suddenly, on April 2021, I received a bill from them that I didn't pay the service for 3 months. I went to a t-mobile store and asked about the bill, they said I have 2 lines were still active. I called customer service and they said I have to pay the bill in order to discuss about the cancelation the two lines and the account. I had to pay for it in order to continue the process of completely canceling my account, and the 2 lines. After being forced to pay the bill of $400+. I requested the customer service to file my complaint and request a refund right away at that time.

Now Aug 2021, I received another bill. I checked with a t-mobile store again about the bill. They said that my account is suspended with 3 lines in this account.

I don't know why a service cancelation became an account suspend, and I have to pay 3 lines in august 2021 bill while only 2 lines in april 2021 bill?

It seems nothing happened and things getting worse.

I want a full refund of the balance I paid on April 2021 and the bill on August 2021, that I just received has to be void.

Signed up for TMobile over 55 plan on [protected]

Yesterday 8-23 I spent 8 hours on the phone with TMobile trying to get service to work. Today 8-24 2 hoursThey do not have qualified people.

THE WORST EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD WITH ANY CELL SERVI CE PROVIDER

I FEEL LIKE I SHOULD GO BACK TO AT& T

There was one person who showed competency her name was NISHA

Incompetence Counter: 20
[censored] Counter: 11

My family and I switched over our plan from Verizon to T-Mobile in March of 2020. Since then and the many interactions I've had with T-Mobile representatives, I have learned and concluded that the representatives along with the company protocols are incompentent and absolute, excuse my language, [censored]. This will be a long read as it entails multiple interactions I had with different representatives from March of 2020 to July of 2021. Throughout this experience, I have thus counted 16 moments of incompetence and 8 moments of [censored].

In March 2020, we were looking to switch over our service providers and so we inquired about the options they had and chose one that we thought fit best with our needs. Along with the option that we chose, there were two promotions that we agreed to for trading back phones. We had five phones in total to tradeback; 4 iPhones and 1 Samsung. The iPhones were under one tradeback promotion and the Samsung was a separate tradeback promotion. We were initially told that the Samsung could be traded back for $375 and two iPhones would get $750 while the other two would be $700. These would be distributed as credit to our monthly bills over a span of 24 months.

So, we took the leap and signed up for T-Mobile. We received an email containing our order for our 5 new phones along with the service plan. However, we noticed that one of the color choices we made was put in incorrectly. One of the iPhones we ordered was supposed to be yellow, but we were given white instead. (Incompetence counter: 1) But that was a minor error and something I could live with as white would have been a second choice. So I left that as is.

Thereafter, I had made additional calls to T-Mobile as I needed assistance making sure everything I had to do was done correctly for the tradebacks. The T-Mobile representative that I spoke to at the time took note of each individual phone's information such as the model, color, space/size, IMEI number, and more. Two separate shipping labels were emailed to me and I was told that I would receive some materials for the purpose of packaging each phone safely so that they do not get damaged during shipping. I was instructed to send the Samsung phone using one shipping label and the 4 iPhones, each packaged individually in the shipping materials I received, but all packaged together in a single box using the other shipping label. I meticulously followed all the instructions given to me by the T-Mobile representative I spoke to.

Fast forward to June of 2020, we received our first deductions valued at $31.25, $31.25, $29.17, and $29.17 totaling $120.84 which I received a notification for over text message. However, we did not see a fifth deduction most likely associated with the Samsung trade back so I made a call to T-Mobile. The representative that I spoke to at the time was very confused and was seeing that the promotion was only supposed to be worth thirty-something dollars. That was clearly not the promotion that we signed up for and agreed upon. This representative found a solution that allowed me to receive what I had been promised totalling up to the original $375.

Then came July and I received a notification for the same four credits valued exactly the same as the prior month. Same thing with August. Three months after the deductions of the remaining four iPhones, I felt secure with our account, that the 4 iPhones I had sent for tradeback have been received and processed, and we were good to go from here on out. Oh how wrong I was…

Come September, I did not receive a text message stating that the same four credits have been applied to my account. I called T-Mobile and informed them and the representative applied the credits manually. The same thing continued to happen in the next couple months with a few variations at times. Either I did not receive any credits at all or the credits applied were $31.25, $29.17, $29.17, and $29.17 totaling at $118.76 which is a different value than the first three months. I had to continue to call T-Mobile to find out what was going on as well as have the correct credit applied in which they were able to do. Each of those phone calls usually ended with the representative saying "I'm sorry you had to call back again, I'll take care of it so you won't have to call back, I give you my personal guarantee." No one was able to answer my question, why did the automatic deductions suddenly stop in the first place? (Incompetence counter: 2) Nevertheless, they said they will give me a "personal guarantee" that this issue will be solved ([censored] counter: 1) and said that I wouldn't have to call back regarding this again so I was a bit more relieved. ([censored] counter: 2) Oh how wrong I was again.

January rolls over and I have to make the same phone call yet again. However, this call progressed very differently. On that day, I first spoke with Rubin. He said he would look into my account so that he can assist me as all other previous representatives have done. After a long hold, he came back on the line telling me that I was not supposed to receive those exact credit amounts in the first place. He informed me that the promotion at the time I signed up was valued at $700 for one iphone and $500 for the other three. In addition, the promotion had no value that exceeded $700 so the $750 was a mistake to begin with. (Incompetence counter: 3) Mind you, this was 6 months after receiving the initial credit. So where did things go wrong?

Was it the representative that I spoke to at the time that I signed up with that gave me misinformation regarding the promotions? (Incompetence counter: 4)
Was it the person who received the iPhones and processed them incorrectly? (Incompetence counter: 5)
Could it be the person who applied the initial credit to my account and applied an incorrect amount? (Incompetence counter: 6)
What about all the representatives that I spoke to from September to December who didn't say anything like Rubin had mentioned and instead went ahead and applied the same credits I've been receiving from June to August? (Incompetence counter: 7, 8, 9, 10)
It also made me wonder, for what reason did the automatic payments stop after three months? Was there someone who noticed something was wrong, changed something on my account, and failed to notify me at the time? (Incompetence counter: 11)

At this point, I was fully in disagreement with Rubin as this is the first time I am being informed of this. This was not the agreement or the promotion that we had signed up for. That's when I spoke with Ana, Rubin's supervisor, who told me the same thing and did not make any attempts at rectifying the situation. She had also informed me of two more incompetencies that I was not aware of beforehand. She stated that at the time I signed up with T-Mobile and agreed upon the promotion, I was supposed to have received an email giving me all the information of that promotion. I did not receive this email. (Incompetence counter: 12) Let me remind you that I had spoken to several people in preparation for the trade backs and not a single representative had mentioned such an email. She also stated that the iPhones were supposed to have all been sent separately with their own shipping label each. I was sent one shipping label for all four iPhones. (Incompetence counter: 13)

So I spoke with Felix from Texas, Ana's supervisor. After a very lengthy conversation with him, he said that he can "escalate" my issue so that I can receive a lump sum of the remaining amount of deductions I should be getting but only under the promotion that they had mentioned subtracting all the deductions that I have received thus far. In other words, I am being given a total deduction amount of $700 for one iPhone and $500 for the remaining three, which is a difference of $700 from the promotion that I believed I had signed up for. In addition, Felix said that he would look back at the recording of the phone conversation we had with the representative that was signing us up so that he can confirm this was the transaction that I had agreed upon and he'd get back to me. He gave me his own "personal guarantee" that we will find a solution that I would be happy with. I had asked him, if he fails to call me back, how can I reach him in which I was informed that they do not have extension numbers but if I call T-Mobile and tell them I would like to speak with Felix from Texas, they can connect me to him.

Eventually, I did receive the lump sum that Felix had mentioned. When I got a call back from him, he stated that he could not access the recording and his excuse was that it was under a different department and they had issues storing recorded phone calls. (Probably [censored] so [censored] counter: 3) So he said that he would issue me credit amounting to a total of $300 which I would receive over a span of 5 months. I told him that I did not like the idea of monthly deductions given the issue that I had with each monthly deduction since September. The reason I even got the lump sum prior was so that I don't have to deal with monthly deductions anymore. His response was he could not do a lump sum for the $300 and there was no other way. ([censored] counter: 4 since lump sums were clearly something T-Mobile can do given that I had just received one.) Nevertheless, I reluctantly agreed and he promised to call me back the following month on the first for an update on a solution for the remaining amount that I was initially promised at the time that I signed up with T-Mobile. I received another $60 deduction in March with a call back from Felix however, with no additional solution. So he promised to call me back the first of next month. In April, I received $60 but no call back from Felix. In May and June, I did not receive any deductions and did not hear from Felix.

When I called T-Mobile to try and track down Felix, no one was able to locate him or get a hold of him. This is when I realized his own personal guarantee was to no surprise another [censored] ([censored] counter: 5) and his method of trying to find him if he fails to call me back was also [censored] ([censored] counter: 6). Instead I spoke with Daniel and his supervisor Chiqui, who said that they would be the last ones I would speak to regarding this issue ([censored] counter: 7) and again more "personal guarantees." Daniel had stated that he would escalate my issue and Chiqui would call to follow up. ([censored] counter: 8) I had set dates for each one of them to call me separately. I did not receive either of their phone calls.

When I called T-Mobile back AGAIN, I spoke with Lakesha, to now try and track down Felix, Daniel, and/or Chiqui. Lakesha had sent out a message/email to the respective people on my behalf and said that she herself would also follow up to make sure I was contacted by any one of these people in the next two days. She also noticed that Chiqui had called back on the day that we had agreed, however, she called back to a different number on our account that had the same last four digits as my own. So essentially, she called the wrong number (Incompetence counter: 14). Lakesha even admitted it was an oversight on T-Mobile's end. However, Daniel had not called back at all. (Incompetence counter: 15). After two days, I had also not received a call back from anyone including Lakesha. (Incompetence counter: 16 and [censored] counter: 9)

At this point, you can reasonably understand why I felt as though T-Mobiles protocols were ineffective and complete [censored]. Now knowing the pattern of T-Mobile (that I wish I had known was going to be the case before I signed up with them as I thoroughly regret that decision now) I called back T-Mobile once again. This time, I spoke with Raven. She said that she would be happy to assist with my situation and would look into my account. She put me on hold and added up all the deductions that I have received and noted that it was over $2000. That is correct because with the lump sum, it should have been a total of $2200. However, what she failed to understand was that I had already spoken to Felix regarding this issue, that it was not what I had initially been told and signed up for, that Felix did not follow through with our own agreement, and that there were still some credits that were promised to me that I did not receive. (Incompetence counter: 17)

During our conversation, she asked me what phones I had sent back in for the tradebacks. Mind you, this was now OVER a year ago and, therefore, was difficult to recall. She said that if I can prove what phones were sent back it would help her validate the promotion. Let me remind you once again that I was given one shipping label to send all four iPhones back. Because of this, they are having a difficult time tracking which phones were received and due to this error that did not occur on my end, I am being told to prove what phones were sent in from over a year ago. She asked me to check my email. Doing a T-Mobile search did not pull up anything regarding trade backs. Again, I never received an email regarding the information of the trade backs. So I'm not surprised I did not receive confirmation that my phones were received. (Incompetence counter: 18)

So after some time, I spoke with Lashonda, Raven's supervisor. Lashonda stated the same exact things as Raven and said that there is nothing she can do until I provide her with the information. The same information that I spent hours giving to another representative when I was preparing to send the phones over a year ago. The same information that was used to apply the credits to my account in the first place. The same information Felix looked into several months ago. And somehow they cannot seem to locate that same information ([censored] counter: 10) and need me to prove it to them. When I complained that I've been calling about this same issue multiple times and that I have to tell my story repeatedly, she mentions that their note taking is really good. ([censored] counter: 11). Instead perhaps, if this issue was solved in January, or even sooner, we wouldn't be in this situation right now. (Incompetence counter: 19) When I asked to speak to someone higher up, Lashonda stated that there is no one available and that she can put in a call back for me.

May I remind you that this call back system along with their "personal guarantee" system has failed me in my many interactions with T-Mobile. So I declined and said I would wait on the line. Through a bit of back and forth to no reasonable compromise, I hear a ringing on my end. I soon found out that Lashonda had transferred me over to an unsuspecting representative without informing this person nor myself that she was going to do so. (Incompetence counter: 20) Both of us were caught off guard and flabbergasted at the situation. Basically, I took that as a "[censored] off" gesture, which led me to write my story here.

I've basically been told a bunch of lies by T-Mobile and they have proven their incompetence in many ways. Their customer service protocols of call backs and personal guarantees are absolute [censored]. Their documentation, notes, and record keeping are [censored]. Their communication between departments and representatives is [censored]. Their coherence and accountability is [censored]. Their motto of "we value your experience" is [censored].

Very disappointment after many years of being a loyal customer with automatic payments. I never got a good deal from T-Mobile. All they do is sell lines. Even when you don't need them, they want you to add lines to your account in order to receive "fake promotions". After many years, not wanting to move from this sadistic relationship with T-Mobile, I finally did to ATT. Now I am grieving a real nightmare!. To explain: I moved to ATT in May/4 (17 days after the current bill). Service was activated when I received the phones on May 7. I did a courtesy call to T-Mobile to make sure all services were canceled. The representative at that moment (name Julian or like) very sneaky decided to "maintain my service active" (not loosing a customer) by keeping the 5th line active as a personal line (the line not being transferred to ATT). In that call, I made sure all my service with T-Mobile was fully canceled. The bill ran from 4/21 to 5/20 and service was canceled in May/7 completely. However, to may dismay, I noticed that T-Mobile withdraw from my bank account a full service charge with 5 lines + insurance + all they could on June 13 (4/21 - 5/20). Not only that, this company has generated another bill!. I have called many times the customer service to solve this issue. In one of the calls, a representative called Marcela never sent me a copy of this bill as she promised. I cannot access the app or the website because everything has been locked after 5/7 for me not to see what is going on... I wonder if there is a department that can take my concern with honesty and fairly? Is this possible within T-Mobile? I only owe to T-Mobile 17 days of use from 4/21 to 5/7. There was no reason to charge for 5 lines+insurance+taxes+ghost rates after May 7. Can be possible to receive a final bill with all these adjustments?

I've been a long time Sprint customer.
I've received many emails, from Sprint, to switch to T-Mobile, receiving $830.00 credit for my then current iPhone 8+. My iPhone 8+ was immaculate, never dropped, in pristine condition.

I called and spoke with a man, who said he'd send me a T-Mobile sims card. I was suppose to exchange the Sprint sims in my 8+ with the T-Mobile sims, and send the 8+ to T-Mobile, who would send me an IPhone 12 under the Magenta program. I would receive a monthly credit for $830.00, over a 24 month program. I received the T-Mobile sims card. I didn't have any way to change out the card, so I ended up going to the Savannah Ga Corporate store.

Upon setting an appointment, I went there, on Saturday, 6/12, it was very busy. I was finally helped by Sydney H. the store manager. I explain why I was there, showed Sydney my iPhone 8+, AND the T-Mobile sims card. I said I wanted to switch to the Magenta program. Sydney said all he had left were red, black, and white iPhone 12's. I said since I have a iPhone 8+ in white, a 12 in white would be fine. Sydney got a iPhone 12, set it all up, and I signed something on his iPad, and out I went. I thought it was all taken care of. It wasn't. I paid $170.19 for the switch. I put it on my bank card.

I was unsure of if everything transferred over, so I called Sprint on Monday 6/14 I called Sprint and found out all Sydney did was upgrade me; no Magenta program, no $830 credit, just upgraded to a iPhone 12, which I have to pay monthly!

This was not acceptable, not the Magenta program.

I was to receive a call back from Sprint on this, within 4-5 hours, to straighten it all out. No call back came. Wednesday, today, 6/16, I called Sprint again. I was told I had to go back to the Corporate store, and they would fix it. An appointment was set up, I drove 30 minutes, to the Corporate store. I checked in and 31 minutes later, I was helped. Soon a woman came out and told me, they can't do anything for me. She said Sydney said the contract was firm, nothing could be done. I was infuriated. But, I thanked her, and left. I called Sprint driving home, and I was helped a little bit. But now I have to pay monthly, for an upgraded Apple 12. Certainly not the deal offered via email, and phone. Remember, T-Mobile sent me a sims card, to put in my 8+. I left that at the Corporate store!

i have no phone for 5 days they have affected my safetly and wellness i have been on hold at least 24 hrs, , 2 store visits sent to a closed store, , at the store told me no phones for sprint only t mobile i asked if they would upgrade me at their cost for all the aggravation, , my diabetes is out of control due to the stress and no one helps me

Dear T-Mobile Management,
I'm writing this letter to see if this matter can be solved, and my level of comfort can be satisfied. On, Saturday, May 29, 202, My spouse and I went to your store location at 1415 Hwy 85 N, Ste 130-140, Fayettevillie, GA. To obtain phones and services. On this date, my spouse secured a phone for her father and a phone for herself (Galaxy S21). However, the problem began on the device that was ordered for me ( the Galaxy Z Fold 2). Due to the Store not having the device on hand, the device was ordered and shipped to our home. Unfortunately, well after waiting several days, the phone was not delivered. After looking and going to the store location after receiving a Declined payment notice, we went to the location. We discovered the notice occurred manually by your system, and the payment was not declined. We were then told that the phone was not in stock that the Store would try to secure a phone from other locations. After speaking with Managers and District Managers, I still do not have the device that is being requested.
It appears that you have a device in your stores for sale that is not being sold to customers. I can not believe it is two weeks in a company with numerous store locations, and I still have not aquire the requested device. Let's solve this issue!

T-MOBILE

We 'attempted' to switch service from Verizon to T-mobile... what a nightmare we experienced with their customer service. If they are this bad with customers trying to establish new service, I can only imagine being an actual customer.

We have probably talked with every cubicle in their overseas Philippine service center. They actually lied about the promotion, sending the phones overnight, and about mailing the Sim cards.

We signed up via the phone and was promised a promotion of buy one phone, get one free with a 24 month credit applied to the cost of the 'free' one. Basically, a 24 month contract. They were suppose to mail the sim cards via USPS, and the phones shipped overnight. We received neither! USPS.com tracking states the tracking label was created, but they hadn't received the package from T-Mobile for shipping. The following day, we spoke again with the rep who had promised to overnight the phones. She then advised that if we could find a Sim card (as if we have spare sim cards laying around), install it into "our Verizon phones", the phones would be activated with tmobile. She would then overnight the promised phones. This sounds much like a phone scam, but it actually was T-Mobile telesales!

Seven days had passed, still no phones or Sim cards received. Our Verizon bill was coming due. In order to have phone service, we decided to just cancel the T-Mobile order.

We called T-Mobile again and then were told that the promised promotion was no longer available.

We requested to cancel and were told that we couldn't cancel. What? We cannot cancel an order for which we have not been provided the means to use their service? (That's like ordering cable TV and not being provided the coax cable) After being on the phone for another 2.5 hours, being passed around to at least 9 different Philippinos, we were then told that to cancel would require going to one of their stores - in person, and showing personal ID. WE DROVE A FREAKING HOUR to the closest store and were told that they cannot cancel a telesales order. While at the store, they confirmed that the buy one phone, get one free promotion was still running. Online telesales (the Philippines) has no problem lying about anything. We no longer trust anything they say!

We will eventually get this order canceled and will NEVER do business with T-Mobile. We have never experienced this low level of service from any company before.

This is 100% true and fully recorded and documented.

Thank God for Verizon!

Verizon phone # 415.295.2106

Many months ago I tried a T-mobile phone, within a day decided the service was not as good as Verizon. assigned T-M #628.202-2983 - never used by me

I called their help line, was told I had to go into a T-M store

Went to the store, agent very helpful, said account was closed.

He must have made a mistake, I've been getting bills ever since.

Calling T-M's help line has huge delays before reaching an agent - today it was 45 minutes.

I went into the the T-Mobile Store in Chehalis, Wa. asking for help with my new phone. I have an Account which got thered when it was a Sprint Store. The Store has a young man and a young woman opporating it. The Music was so Loud and the Young Man was sitting at the front desk and he was tapping out the beat to the Music and Chilling. He was no help to me, and did not want to help me. His foot never missed a beat to that music he was obviously listening too. I am an Old White Male, 71 yrs old wearing a Veteran's Hat and told him right up front... I am not really savy when it comes to Phone and computers. He told me to take my own sim Card out of my phone and give it too him to see if it fit my new phone. He also took my Drivers License and looked me up on the Computer Screen and told me I was not on the contract.
So he could not help me. He had me call the person who's name was on the contract and would not talk to him on the phone and told me to tell him he had to come in also in person to do this. It was a simple manuver but this kid was not interested in Helping me. I told him he was not very Customer Oriented and his service was really crappy. He blew me off and basically could care less. This is the second time I have been ignored in this store. He only waites on young girls apparently. He is an Asian Man and about 21 years old and offers [censored]ty Customer Service. And at a Distance I could see the girl was helping a couple and they seem really irritated too.
My complaint is Bad Customer Service... I am considering changing my Service provider.
Thank

I am NOT a T-Mobile customer.
I was phoning to get certain questions answered regarding cellphones before proceeding with any mobile/cellular service and purchase of a cellphone from T-Mobile.
I phoned Saturday, March 27, 2021 at 2:52 PM (PST) T-Mobile's phone number 800-T-Mobile, which in numerical form is 800-866-2453, that was listed on T-Mobile's website https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phones as being the "Contact & support" phone number to phone regarding any questions.
I chose option "1" which was for new customers, and I chose option "3" to hold verses being phoned back.
My phone call was answered within three minutes by what sounded like a young Male who had a slight accent, whose name I did not write down, as I did not think the phone call would be a bad phone call.
Not wanting to be locked into a payment program, nor into a year or more contract, especially should I find T-Mobile to be horrible in either cellphone connection (dropped calls) or customer service, I proceeded to ask that T-Mobile male representative about purchasing a phone outright verses having to make payments.
The male T-Mobile representative proceeded to state that I had to have an account with T-Mobile. I responded back for him to assume I have an account; could I still purchase the phone outright, verses having to make payments. I stated to him that he did not seem to know the T-Mobile webpage I was on, whose listed phone number I was phoning to further inquire about items I needed answers to.
The male T-Mobile representative stated items as his response that indicated to me that he did not know the answer, and or, his job fully and completely, let alone that T-Mobile webpage. Unlike what T-Mobile's automated "IVR" message repeats over and over while waiting for a T-Mobile representative, that the T-Mobile representative is an "Expert".
I now quite frustrated at what was a simple question that he could not answer, asked for a supervisor. As I knew to continue talking to him would get me nowhere, and do nothing but further escalate tensions, stress, all leading to anger.
Something by the way "T-Mobile", is NO way as a corporation you can even hope, let alone dream, to be able to acquire NEW customers.
The male T-Mobile representative continued on talking, which got me mad and I then in a stern no-nonsense voice asked him to pass me on to a supervisor.
The male T-Mobile representative then fired back at me to "Cool Down!".
I responded back for him to not tell me to "Cool Down!". That I do not work for him. That he is being paid by his employer to assist, not get people frustrated and angry. And that he should not be stating such on a recorded call.
The male T-Mobile representative then stated he was going to get me a supervisor and placed me on hold.
During the entire hold time for a supervisor, the male T-Mobile representative did NOT perform any of the following:

1.) He NEVER came back on the phone with me.

2.) He NEVER came back on the phone to inform me what was going on.

3.) He NEVER came back on the phone to inform me that he had contacted, and or, informed a supervisor that I was wanting and waiting to speak to a supervisor, and that a supervisor had confirmed such request to him.

4.) He NEVER came back on the phone to inform me how much more time I would have to wait for the supervisor.

5.) He NEVER came back on the phone to check with me if I wanted to still hold.

6.) He NEVER came back on the phone to offer me for myself to be phoned back by a supervisor once a supervisor was free from the phone call they were on to then phone me and talk with me about my issue/matter.

After a total of 15 minutes time had gone by in that phone call, to which I would estimate 13 minutes of that time was myself being on hold waiting for a supervisor, and myself NOT having received any further communication from that male T-Mobile representative, meaning the male T-Mobile representative never came back on the phone during that entire hold time, let alone to state anything to me listed in numbers 1 - 6 above, I then stated into the phone that the phone call was a recorded phone call (per T-Mobile's automated "IVR" statement), and since he had not come back on the phone with me for 15 minutes (actually more closer to 13 minutes, but could easily have been an hour or more) that I was ending the phone call and would be letting upper management know. To which I then disconnected the phone call.

I then phoned back at 3:07 (PST) that same day Saturday, March 27, 2021 that same T-Mobile phone number 800-T-Mobile, which in numerical form is 800-866-2453, that was listed on T-Mobile's website https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phones as being the "Contact & support" phone number to phone regarding any question.
I again chose option "1" which was for new customers, and I chose option "3" to hold verses being phoned back.
Within a few minutes of holding my phone call was answered by what sounded like a young female T-Mobile representative.
I asked that female T-Mobile representative to transfer me to a supervisor, stating it was due to a previous 15 minute phone call I had had with a T-Mobile representative that I wanted to report.
The female T-Mobile representative agreed to transfer me to a supervisor and proceeded to place me on hold.
This female T-Mobile representative also did the same thing as the previous male T-Mobile representative did, which is:

1.) She NEVER came back on the phone with me.

2.) She NEVER came back on the phone to inform me what was going on.

3.) She NEVER came back on the phone to inform me that she had contacted, and or, informed a supervisor that I was wanting and waiting to speak to a supervisor, and that a supervisor had confirmed such request to her.

4.) She NEVER came back on the phone to inform me how much more time I would have to wait for the supervisor.

5.) She NEVER came back on the phone to check with me if I wanted to still hold.

6.) She NEVER came back on the phone to offer me for myself to be phoned back by a supervisor once a supervisor was free from the phone call they were on to then phone me and talk with me about my issue/matter regarding the previous male T-Mobile representative.

After a total of 16 minutes time had gone by in that phone call, to which I would estimate no more than one (1) minute of that 16 minutes of time was myself and that female T-Mobile representative talking to each other, and the balance of time after subtracting the couple of minutes I initially waited for my phone call to be answered by that female T-Mobile representative, being approximately 13 minutes on hold waiting for a supervisor, and myself again NOT having received any further communication from that female T-Mobile representative, just like the previous male T-Mobile representative, meaning she never came back on the phone during that entire hold time, let alone to state anything to me listed in numbers 1 - 6 above, I then stated into the phone that the phone call was a recorded phone call (per T-Mobile's automated statement), and since she had not come back on the phone with me that I was ending the phone call and would be letting upper management know. To which I then disconnected the phone call.

I then phoned back at 3:23 (PST) that same day Saturday, March 27, 2021 that same T-Mobile phone number 800-T-Mobile, which in numerical form is 800-866-2453, that was listed on T-Mobile's website https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phones as being the "Contact & support" phone number to phone regarding any question.
This time I chose option "2" which it states is for "current" T-Mobile customers.
Per one of the options offered by the T-Mobile automated "IVR" I stated to the "IVR" that I did not have a T-Mobile number. The "IVR" then stated it would get me right away to a representative, only for that "IVR" statement to be immediately followed with the "IVR" stating that there was a TWO (2) HOUR wait time. Horrified and disgusted at the TWO HOUR wait time to speak to someone, I disconnected that phone call.

I then phoned at 3:30 PM (PST) that same day Saturday, March 27, 2021, a different T-Mobile phone number. That T-Mobile phone number being 800-937-8997.
The "IVR" for that T-Mobile phone number offered no options. Instead it immediately asks one for one's T-Mobil phone number. It then states that if one does not have a T-Mobile number to state "I don't have one". Which I then stated.
The "IVR" then offered different options, for which none matched what I needed, so I stated "Representative". To which the "IVR" responded back: "I'll get you over to an expert."
The "IVR" then stated: "Looks like there is a wait."
Only to be followed with the "IVR" stating that there was a TWO (2) HOUR wait time.
I then disconnected that phone call. As again I was NOT going to wait TWO HOURS to speak to someone.

CONCLUSION:
Though the phone calls I made Saturday, March 27, 2021 were not "Test" phone calls, those phone calls to T-Mobile revealed a great deal to not only myself, but any individual phoning T-Mobile, who is not a T-Mobile customer.

Those phone calls reveled:

1.) T-Mobile does answer the phone call relatively quickly for "new" customers seeking to sign up for service with T-Mobile.

2.) "Some" T-Mobile representatives, like the male T-Mobile representative I got whom I have written about in this "online" complaint, are NOT "experts". Unlike what the T-Mobile "IVR" states, which is that one will be transferred to an "Expert".

3.) Even though T-Mobile's "IVR" states it has great service, the fact is that T-Mobile does NOT have great service.
As any existing, and or, "current" T-Mobile customer having to wait TWO HOURS to get assistance with a "live" human being T-Mobile customer service representative (verses other options like automated "IVR" answers, online "Chat" etc.), is VERY POOR customer service. And definitely NOT any mobile/cellular carrier I would want to sign up with, waste my valuable time "holding" for, and pay my valuable money to each month.

4.) T-Mobile only cares about getting "new" customers. As "new" customers phoning T-Mobile, those phone calls are relatively quickly answered by a T-Mobile representative.
But that gets destroyed by T-Mobile representatives doing what that male T-Mobile representative did to me.
As well as the lack of supervisors/managers answering, and or, accepting phone calls being transferred (if in fact the customer's phone call was even transferred) to a supervisor/manager from a T-Mobil "new" customer representative, like the male and female T-Mobile representatives I had Saturday, March 27, 2021.

5.) Once you are an existing T-Mobile customer, you are treated like a second class citizen in terms of respect for the "paying" customer and the "paying" customer's time.
Existing/current customers having to wait TWO HOURS, or even One Hour, to get assistance, is One Hundred Percent PROOF of this statement.

6.) T-Mobile does NOT know how to keep customers, and make such customers into loyal long existing five or more years customers.
As once one is a T-Mobile customer, the customer service immediately goes down-hill drastically in terms of response time to a T-Mobile customer.
Therefore due to the loss of potential and existing customers, T-Mobile not making nearly as much profit as it could and should.
This should be very concerning to the Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") of T-Mobile.
I feel it is safe to state, that I am sure it would be very concerning to T-Mobile's parent company German telecommunications company Deutsche Telekom AG., and the shareholders/stockholders, should all such know this is what is going on, and why the loss of potential/future customers continues to go on, and sales to those individuals, and the ongoing loss of existing customers.

7.) T-Mobile seems to have forgotten that there is this huge powerful technical wonder called the "Internet", or, "World Wide Web". And that any phone call such as the one I had today with that male T-Mobile customer representative who answered my phone call, as well as other potential "new" T-Mobile customers phone calls, that such phone calls can go "live" over the internet for all to listen to, and replayed indefinitely should such phone calls get recorded.
And or, be recorded by a "third" party in one or more foreign countries that allow such phone recording. And subsequently a phone call such as mine passed on to anyone, and everyone, whom that "party" wishes to, to be played by the receiving "party".
So doing what that male T-Mobile representative did to me, as well as any supervisor/manager who was supposed to take my phone call, provided that male T-Mobile representative actually passed on my phone call to such T-Mobile supervisor/manager, also not responding to my phone call, places T-Mobile corporation in a position of repercussions I would hope its executive leadership would not want to happen, let alone its parent company German telecommunications company Deutsche Telekom AG., and the shareholders/stockholders.

T-Mobile Corporation therefore is highly advised to take all appropriate actions to prevent ongoing and future items that have been stated in this complaint.

This concludes this individual / consumer complaint.
