T-Mobile Plans Reviews

by L. Le -- April 27th 2012 -- Houston, TX

I made a huge mistake switching to T-Mobile. They cheat you any which ways they can. I check my balance often on my phone to make sure I don't go over the limits. It said I still had 85 minutes left on the last day of my billing cycle. When I got the bill, they charged me 5 days earlier because I went over my limits. If I can not count on the correct information T-Mobile provided, I don't want them to be my wireless carrier. Do not subscribe to T-Mobile, they cheat, you can not trust them. I can not wait to the end of my contract.

T-Mobile has got to be one of the worst now. They cannot get their billing fixed and you spend hours on the phone with them each month going over the same thing to be told the same thing. They'll give you the credit and say "It'll be correct next month" - but it's not and you are on the phone again being passed around and put on hold. They suck now.

I had T-Mobile while living in FL and the coverage was good as well as the customer service. I moved to WI for work and have had VERY POOR coverage, even though the coverage map says it covers it. I travel quite a bit in this area and most of the time I have NO coverage at all. T-mobile's customer service is always willing to talk to me but they have no solution and they refuse to drop my early termination fees. I am very dissatisfied with what their coverage map shows and what the reality of the situation is.

Awful company, full of cheats. This is what happened to me-. Bought their value plan for 79.99 for 2 lines and internet on both lines. Sales rep told us that text messaging was free. 50 texts later, guess what? its not free. Same thing happened to my brother who was a pre-existing customer, he also bought the same plan and they did the same thing. When I tried talking to Tmobile reps, well guess what, they do not care. I stayed on phone for a good 45 minutes. That's not all, they are putting arbitarary international calls I DID NOT make ! I don't recognize the #s and they claim i made the calls. The phones were always and always in my possesion.

After extensive browsing of cellular phone providers, my husband and I arrived at T-Mobile, as they offer the cheapest "unlimited" plan. We purchased a two year contract and two Samsung Galaxy S 4Gs (for $400 a piece, I might add). After continued issues with my phone glitching and malfunctioning (opening apps on its own, non-functioning speaker phone, turning itself off, wouldn't send texts, it would dial the pound key continuously without me even touching it, freezing and going black, causing me to have to remove the battery just to turn it off, muting itself and even hanging up the phone during calls, and the list goes on...), we finally contacted T-Mobile online support and told them of the defective device. They seemed initially helpful, sending us a "like-new" (refurbished) phone of the same model. That one turned out to be even worse, so not even a month later, I ended up sending that one back as well. After sending back the second phone, they explicitly said to us that if the THIRD device failed, they would send us a BRAND new phone of my choosing. They even gave us a date in April, saying if we had issues with it by that specific day, they would replace it with a new phone. Well, this is what I expected them to do in the first place, since I PAID FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR THE PHONE WHEN I BOUGHT IT, and refurbished phones are FREE online. But after a long-winded and very insulting conversation with the online support "technician", we were displeased to be told that "such a promise was NEVER made to us" and that we were liars to even claim such a thing. So needless to say, we contacted T-Mobile support staff over the phone, and were told the same thing, but with a bit more pleasantry. I am extremely disappointed with our experience with T-Mobile and especially with the Samsung Galaxy S 4G, and I will vehemently and passionately discourage anyone that I know from signing up with them for any reason or length of time. Also, WHATEVER YOU DO, do NOT purchase a Samsung Galaxy S 4G. It is a glitchy, cheap, worthless piece of trash and it will cause you more anger and stress than carving a message out of stone and sending via the Pony Express. At least that way they'll actually RECEIVE your message. Oh, and don't listen to the little girl in the pink dress. I know she's cute, but I've never seen data speeds exceeding 4.8Mb, and "4G" is supposed to be 10Mb or greater. This isn't even "3G".

The worst customer service. The automated system allways sends you to the wrong department. hard to get a hold of any agent that is willing to help you out. They always extend your contract. I can't wait till my contract is over so I can switch companies.

I tried to switch from a shared plan to a pre-paid plan. I had to do a three way call with everyone involved with the account. The approval was given and I had to pay over $200 for an early cancellation fee. The next week the plan was not cancelled and switched but the account was deducted the $200. T-Mobile sent me around in circles saying we were still on the original plan and they could not do anything without the approval. When I explained that it had been done as evidenced by the charge for $200, they could not explain why the switch was not done and of course had excuses why I couldn't be refunded the $200 paid. T-Mobile is the worst!!

This company rips everyone off! They did used to be better years ago! We were loyal users for over 7 years! My husband and I lived in Italy (where he is from) and we knew we could be moving back. When we signed the contract they said "no problem if you move out of the country..of course T-Mobile would waive an early cancellation fee!" Now it is SEVEN years later and believe it or not...one phone is still on the contract due to what everyone else says..they extend it..any chance they get and do not even tell you..you make a slight switch to a higher minutes plan for example! So now we are moving back to Italy. My contract will be up in only 3 months! Do you think they are waiving the fee? NO OF COURSE NOT! So much for customer service and 7 years to boot! The guy in the "loyalty" dept was such a jerk I ended up swearing and hanging up. (something I have rarely ever done on a phone). STAY AWAY >>>TERRIBLE COMPANY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have 2 prepaid lines with T-mobile and I always go to t-mobile website to pay for the accounts by paying via my credit card. I recently noticed that every time there is a charge (say $15) there is an additional $0.75 charge on my credit card statement; however at the time of charge, t-mobile is not disclosing this additional charge and on summary page (before I click on "Agree" or "Save" button, there is no trace of this additional charge; so basically I agree to a payment of $15.00 but then they charge my credit card for $15.75 without disclosing it. This is a kind of stealing, don't you think so?

If you want a company that will continue to charge after you cancel, BE MY GUEST. Thats what happens to everyone, read all reviews and see. You try to cancel and they take the info and nothing is canceled so you are forced to pay another full month. They did that to me for two months, my credit is bad, so they can send me to all the creditors they want to, UNFAIR PRACTICES. Employees are "trained" to extend contracts as much as possible any which way they can. TERRIBLE COMPANY.
