Hi

I just moved to T-Mobile last Friday (Feb 17th). After talking with their sale team for setting up a new plan, they told me to try their Home Internet. I told them I don’t want to but they keep asking me to use their service. And mentioned I am eligible for 15 day trial. I didn’t say I will use it and kept rejecting it.
 

Later, after I decided which plan I am gonna use, they told me that they will send me a physical sim because “setting up an esim without a physical sim can end up badly”. Honestly, I was unsure why, but I think it is ok anyways and wait for the physical sim.

 

On the next day, I received a package with the Home Internet device along with a physical SIM card. Brought it to a nearby store and they said this SIM is for Home Internet, esim don’t need to have a physical SIM card to activate. They told me to asked for returning the service if I am not planning to use since their store can’t do return.


Everything is now shady. But I asked for service cancelation anyways. And planning to return the device by today. But when I check the app, I received a bill saying that I will have to pay for both my phone plan and Home Internet thing this month even when they said I have 15-day trial. The bill is posted, not projected payment or something.

 

I am very upset and unsure if I was scammed. I really want somebody from T mobile can look at this case and have a reasonable explanation or solution to it. I was not aware and didn’t save the chat history, I will encourage everybody have a chat with their sale team to save their chat history before anything similar happen as in my case.

 

Thank you.

Something similar happened to me with the free trial internet trial equipment & the struggle to return it.q.  

It took about a week of daily calls to tmobile & 3 trips to a local store before they finally accepted the equipment. 

Keep calling & asking to speak to a person who can authorize returns & demand they return the equipment & credit your account & tell them you'll be reporting them to the FCC for fraud if they don't. Hope this helps.
