1 STAR -- TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE WITH T-MOBILE. THINK TWICE BEFORE SIGNING UP…read more
I have been a T-Mobile customer, and my experience has become extremely disappointing. At this point, I feel like T-Mobile cares more about getting customers signed up than actually taking care of them afterward.
PROMOTION THAT NEVER MATERIALIZED
When I signed up for T-Mobile Home Internet, I was told I would receive a $300 gift card. I signed up based on that promotion, but the gift card never came.
When I contacted customer service, instead of actually solving the problem, I was transferred from one representative to another and sent around in circles for nearly an hour. After wasting all that time, the call ended up being disconnected without my issue being resolved.
That is NOT customer service. If you're going to advertise a $300 promotion, you should honor it and be able to explain clearly what happened when a customer doesn't receive it.
THE "LOW PRICE" DOESN'T STAY LOW
I was told the 55+ plan was $45, but then the price quickly went up to $55, and now I'm paying around $66 after only a few months.
So what exactly is the point of advertising an attractive $45 price if customers are going to see the bill increase so quickly?
$45 JUST TO ACTIVATE A PHONE?!
When I purchased a new phone at a T-Mobile store, I was charged a $45 activation/service fee just to activate my new phone.
T-Mobile is already making money from the phone and monthly service, yet customers are hit with another $45 fee for something that should be a simple part of the purchase process.
HOME INTERNET HAS GOTTEN TERRIBLE
The Home Internet connection has also been a huge disappointment. The service is slow, laggy, and unreliable, and the quality has gone downhill significantly.
A home internet service that constantly struggles with basic connectivity is simply not worth paying for.
OVERALL: VERY DISAPPOINTED
Between the missing $300 promotion, endless customer-service transfers, unexplained price increases, $45 activation fee, and unreliable Home Internet, I have had more frustration than I ever expected from T-Mobile.
My biggest complaint is not just the money -- it's the feeling that customers are promised one thing when they sign up and then left to fight for answers afterward.
Think twice before signing up. Read every promotion carefully, watch your monthly bill, and don't assume that what you're promised at signup will be easy to get afterward.
After this experience, I would NOT recommend T-Mobile to friends or family.
