Anyone fed-up with horrible coverage from TMobile

T-Mobile is a joke!  Terrible service both cellular and customer.  I’m currently on hold because they are updating their system before they can cancel my home internet.  It’s amazing how easy it is to sign up online and in stores but the only way to cancel is to call in.  Calling in means you wait on hold for about an hour and then talk to someone with a thick accent that can’t fix your problem.  My recommendation is to cancel service asap!  They make it so difficult to cancel so you just give up and deal with them and their terrible service.  Don’t give up!  Cancel service!

I’m a month-to-month T-Mobile subscriber with three phones on my plan. My service has gotten progressively worse since January 2022 and every time I speak to a T-Mobile representative online they tell me their network is fine and there’s no problems in my area, but I speak to T-Mobile employees in a T-Mobile corporate store and they tell me they’re experiencing the same thing on their phones in the same area as where I am experiencing problems. Today was the topper. I went from five bars of 5G service in my home. to zero to one bar of service. The online help people always want to put it on my phones, but the last time they did that I had purchased two brand new iPhone 15’s shortly after and the problem did not get any better. Today I have been transferred to the tech-support people twice and both times after somebody answers I get hung up on and have to go through the whole chat process again. it’s a shame, because T-Mobile had the best service in my area at one time, and now it’s worse than any service I’ve ever had.

Hello to whom it may concern. My name is Karl Veal. I have a very small podcast on all apps and I have come across a story regarding Tmobile and their operations when it comes to closing customer accounts. I have a gentleman with screen shots from as low as messaging agents all the way up to high up managers at tmobile displaying absolutely disgusting behavior towards this individual concerning very eye opening dealings with his account personally. The genteman has everything including agents adding phone lines with promised equipment limit doubling and taking the phone orders for these new lines and then sending him SIM cards and a message saying hie equipment limit actually was not doubled but the request was denied. Same account has screen shots of conversations regarding a security breach on his account in 2022. A scam artist had actually put in a claim through assurant their phone insurance company and had his phone turned off and a new phone shipped to him in Nyc with the customers own credit card on file with Tmobile. Months later the gentleman had a security breach on his account with Bay and he had reached out to both companies for any information to provide his bank. Just in case it may have been the same account intruder and both companies refused his repeated requests for any information on the name the phone was sent to or the address it was sent to. Any information to help his banks investigation. Really refused any information about even if his account was refunded for this incident because his bank could not confirm. Requests for a formal investigation have still to this day gone unanswered. As recently as today after a months long investigation into missing phones on his account, the gentleman was promised credit on his account that again is acknowledged through screenshots and notes on his account for the time spent on the phone with said company and the inconvenence of an investigation that was promised to last 24 to 48 hours. Giving a little more detail about this specific incident, he reported a delivery marked delivered that he actually had not received. This was reported January 5th and a ticket to start an investigation was not filed until January 9th. Let the company informed him this 4 days tickets had been filed and the company was hard at work. Spending as much as five hours a day those four days calling and messaging the company and the delivery service UPS. On January 17th the customer had to reach out to UPS for a completely different shipment and informed them of his disapproval of damaging his current package through amazon and the wait on their investigation with tmobile a couple weeks prior. The manager in charge of lost packages informed him he was unaware the customers order had not gone as planned and nothing had been filed or notified with UPS. Just today after getting enough of their behavior for the 2nd time. First time ending with a $1600 bill that was refused to be lowered for all the mistakes on the account and forced to come back or erase the bill if he didn’t port back. Only this time the gentleman got a port code and informed the company of his intentions to leave. Listed all grounds to leave on his account and then ported the same number and device he had done so on November 10th of 2023 and returned November 24th. Looking at the behavior of every agent he came in contact with this morning im sure any current and future customers mind would be blown. Harrassment and bullying has been shown before but never in this manner. He is denied access back into his account after giving the necessary information to gain access to the account with agents even confirming his account has been confirmed. The minute he asked why his device won’t let Verizons sim on the phone and confirm he would like to close the account and pay it off right away suddenly the very same agents can’t confirm his account when they are shown to be the department to handle this issue. Tell him he can only call when they are aware his phone will no longer make calls,  will not send email confirmation to his email on the account after they repeatedly say the account is closed but will not show hime the final bill until he gives his credit card information in the same secure form 3 agents in a row insisted they don’t use to verify account can suddenly be used for credit card information.  Information provided to the company include his name, address on file, email on file, account pin, account number, birthdate and verification emails he could have easily accepted. All of this information was provided for the agents to gain access but was continually denied to the customer when he asked about the decrepency of being aloud to transfer his same number and same device in November exactly 11 days after receiving the device on a brand new payment plan and why suddenly his phone is blocked and the the phone itselfs balance is $200 plus down from before and actually on the exact payment plan that was never paid on late and actually his account bills never have once been paid late without ooutsideinterference from tmobille mistakes and his own accounts hacking. Suddenly that same phone needs to be paid off in full before they will allow Verizons sim to be put on it. This same phone that almost at full price was aloud to port from tmobile into Verizon along with 2 other almost full priced newly put on financing device plans devices. Not only that all received new Verizon SIM cards and when ported back all had to be shipped back to tmobile SIM cards. Suddenly this said to be policy on every single account with a device on a payment plan on tmobile. They will not send said policy after multiple requests or let him see the changes they claim to have made on his account. I can’t help but wonder how many times this has happened to guests all over the world and unaware agents would verify the account and transfer to correct department to get  the issues taken care of and once he asks for the account to be closed and access to said confirmation info he is told numerous times his account count be validated. One agent was asked for a manager I counted ten times and the agent refused and before he ended the talk abruptly the agent deleted every word spoke between them. Two agents actually did this after displaying behavior that I know is illegal and can be proven as illegal. I want to get other victims of this behavior to tell their stories and their cases to interested parties and be able to be heard and compensated fully for the and im sure worse experiences that haven’t been reported. This same customer has reached out to the fcc, and etc, and his states attorney generals office and is still waiting on results of their investigation and all tmobile agent made aware of this do not seem to be intimidated by their consequences. So I want this to get as big as possible with what exactly happens when this behavior can be proven in screenshot form and from simply gaining a  attorney and demanding those chats in fully. If any go the chats differ in missing sentences or in any way from the screenshots. What has their consequences been? And is this taught behavior through the company and agents in charge. How far up the company is this behavior known and not changed. When do they admit responsibility or how far does it actually have to go. If any of your reporters are willing to help me help you get this story investigated I do have all necessary information in screenshots and the comer is ready to take this to court or advice me off reporters who they know are willing to do this story please email me back at karlveal@gmail.comand please give the first episode of my podcast a listen again caller Live To Tell Podcast with Karl Veal for an idea of how I tell stories and like them to come across. Thank you so much for your time and I look forward to hearing back………Karl

Not only is T-mobiles coverage terrible (I never had any issues talking with Verizon) but when I was lured in because of promotional lies. I was told that if I switch to T-mobile I would get Netflix and MS365 for free. After the deal was done, I was told I could get one or the other not both. So, I opted for MS365. Two moths later I still have not received my MS365. I am trying to switch back to Verizon but I need to pay off my phones. There is no where on my dashboard to allow me to pay off my devices. I have called customer service several times and they are clueless as to how I can pay off my phones. 

Additionally, when I called customer service about a month ago to enquirer into my MS365, they told me that they would send the MS365 in my dashboard under promotional resumptions shortly. They said to wait a few hours and it should be there. I logged into my account later only to find it was not my account but another customers account. That is right, I use my user name and password but was it was another persons account. A total PII violation. I reported this to customer service the CEO, President, the Business Group and the President, Consumer Group. It took two day for them to correct the botched issue.

T-mobile is just a bad company, with bad coverage and bad customer service.

I cannot agree more! The 2 young men at the TMobile store lied, had no clue what they were doing. Said my bill would a certain amount but that wasn’t true. They told me that T-Mobile buys out your Verizon contract and I didn’t have to do anything. Also, a lie! I had to pay off all my lines with Verizon.  Then to give me the same phone numbers they had to add phones to my account, so I have 2 different phone numbers for every line.  One has the wrong device on it.  On top of it all the service is terrible, they say they have the best 5G networks, no way!  Where my house is in the country Verizon always had service, never dropped calls. But T-Mobile...calls dropped all the time, no connection or internet 90% of the time.  So mad that I was lied to. The web site never functions properly, always says your lines must have gotten crossed...sorry.  I'm so tired of the all-around crappy service.  I do like the home internet but it's not available anywhere even thought I took it and plugged in in at a location it says it is not available in and it worked.  I wish I would have stayed with Verizon even if it meant paying $200 more a month. At lease their staff knows what they are doing and do not lie to you.  One last thing. The salesman didn’t even ask if I wanted him to transfer the data from my old phone. He just took it and did it. I am capable of doing my own transfer! That was so rude, then I found out they were using Pulp’s internet because their own internet is that crappy.  So mad at myself for trying to save money and this is what I get. 

Definitely BBB → FTC → FCC route.

BBB/FTC/FCC are just a low level form of arbitration.

if you’re in California, you might have a better leg to stand on.  CA FTC Sprint merge requirements are pretty tight for service.

 Other important commitments relating to diversity, reporting, and rural infrastructure deployment.

As a spectrum customer for many yrs. I decided to try t-mobile. Big mistake marketing advertisement was not upfront. Was promised (2) prepaid cars in 8 wks. Its now February so decided to call and see why taking so long.  To my amazement the receptionist the did not even mention this. This was suppose to have been documented while filling out all documents. Long story short the prepaid specialist says I have to wait another 8 wks because they don't have a button where you can satisfy customers whom has been bamboozled by receptionist who don't know their jobs. SHAME ON TMOBILE. IM PAYING MY BILL ON TIME BUT CAN'T MAKE A CORRECTION FOR ELUSIVE PRACTICES. SHAME ON TMOBILE. HELLO SPECTUM.
