Let's be honest nobody likes going to get new phones because it literally takes so long! We were dreading coming to get new phones today but shout out to Christian for helping make the process quick and easy! He was so helpful and so kind and above all patient! He knows how to do his job and he's good at it. I feel like every T-Mobile or phone store makes you feel like you're just another number and they really don't care but Christian was none of those things. The store overall had a good vibe and good music while you wait! Every customer was greeted upon walking in a helped in a sufficient amount of time! Thank you so much Christian for your kindness and excellent customer service! read more

No, I don't. Effective November 1, 2025, they are increasing their late fee from $7.00 to $10.00. Corporate greed. I'm glad I left them in April 2025 and went to another mobile provider. Another thing, they want to charge $10.00 more for administrative cost. Stay away from them. They don't care about their customers. There isn't anything that they could do to improve. Bye, Felisha! read more

I went to this location for some assistance with the phone I got there and was told by a young man that I should go to Best Buy for help. I guess he was busy leaning against the counter. I hope all of his effort wasn't too much for him. read more

1 of 2 Alameda T Mobile Yelp Reviews. Our frequent international traveling friends recommend this brand as it offers the most "free" international data and texting. Quality/Quantity - FYI, this location is an authorized retailer, not a company store. Atmosphere - Medium size shop, 1 of 2 T Mobiles. The other T Mobile is on the other side of the island on Park St. Open 7 days a week from 10am to 8pm and from 11am to pm on Sundays. Plenty of mall or street parking Service - 5 stars, team members were good but not experienced enough to help me. He made a few "coded" comments to his co-worker? Not sure what that was all about? Then he called "corporate or customer service" and the person on the phone walked him through the process to port over our phone #. The team member said it would take 2 hours to port; he said that was a standard answer. The two phones that I activated in T Mobile Reno NV took only 5 minutes each...? See other 5 star Yelp review. Okay, so we left and by the time we got to the car, 5 minutes later, our phone was up and running! FYI - We have been to 4 different stores now, in 4 different cities, and every review has been 5 stars!! The service at the store level is so much better than over the phone! Price - N/A. As we just became customers and are going through the transition of porting over all of our phones and learning the T Mobile benefits. Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success, keep up the good work. After my next upcoming international trip, I will share more about my experience. Follow and see. :) read more

T-Mobile Authorized Retailer - 5/17/23 Exterior, entrance - Mobile Phones Near Me - Alameda, California

Generally not friendly staff and overall rude including the store manager. Requested a quote for an upgrade to a new iPhone and was told it would be $30/month. The next day I went to an actual T-Mobile (in Walnut Creek) NOT an "authorized retailer" and got the exact same new iPhone for $8/month. Crazy. Bottom line, don't trust the Alameda "authorized retailers" they hide stuff and add to your bill without being honest. read more

This store is poorly run..I came in looking for help...was not given any help..they wanted me to call customer service...and take care of it myself..after a 30 minute call I had to make I returned the internet hot spot...I asked what my bill was going to 85.oo there was no change to my .. Bill read more

I have t mobile and I hate going in here. The staff are immature and rude. I don't get how you can still have this location open with this horrible staff. They are on their phones typing to each other, the sales guy talking way too fast to understand and then laughs and acts put out when you want clarification. I almost walked out and I think today is the last time I go in here. This location sucks. read more

I called this location specifically if they're able to transfer my account from Sprint to T-mobile, then upgrade my phone, along with getting a family plan. I tripled checked if all three were doable since reps usually makes the most simple tasks so complicated. Confirmed it was all doable and anyone in the store would be able to help. I confirmed their name and asked what days they would be working so I would be able to go in on his working day for him to help. I dropped in on the day the guy was supposedly working but sure enough he was off. Went to an available rep, he looked up my account. Ended up telling me that because this store isn't a corporate T-mobile store, they're unable to help me with anything. I let him know I had called in prior and spoke to someone who confirmed anyone in the store can help me, but he was adamant that it can't be done. He just shrugged, let me know that the guy isn't working and only corporate stores can make the switch. Every time I come to this store, no one is able to help with anything! Why have this store open if everything needs to be done at a corporate store?! read more

Go see Pete he is so nice and so helpful. He made the entire process of buying a new phone and switching over from Verizon after 9 years seamless. Absolutely wonderful human!!!! read more

I recently visited this T-Mobile store to purchase an upgraded phone for my son as a Christmas gift, and the experience was extremely disappointing. The representative, Ashley, was incredibly rude and refused to help me. I was told by her that she couldn't assist me because she was off the clock in about 40 minutes, but the transaction I needed(upgrade) would have been completed well before her shift ended I have done it plenty of times. Before coming to the store, I called ahead to confirm if a few phones were in stock. After refusing to help me because she had approximately 40 minutes left Ashley said "whatever f*** it I know what to do". She walks into the room where the phones are kept for not even 10 seconds literally! She walked in the room and walked right out. When she came out she said "You need to go to a different store the phone not here we can't help you".I can confidently say she didn't even make an effort to check properly. To make matters worse, she displayed a nasty attitude, not only toward me but also toward her coworker who politely suggested she assist me while he was assisting another customer. Her lack of professionalism and dismissive behavior made me feel unwelcome and undervalued as a customer. I am thoroughly disgusted with the way I was treated and will not be returning to this location. T-Mobile needs to address such poor customer service immediately. read more

I was at Alameda Landing to pick up lunch and noticed the T-Mobile store. Since it was Tuesday, I was going to stop by my regular store on Park St. for my T-Mobile Tuesday promotion item, but decided to stop into this store. There were no customers in the store and the worker greeted me when I entered. I said I was here for T-Mobile Tuesday and showed her the app. She had me hit redeem and handed me the cooler bag. It's great having a T-Mobile store on this side of the Island as an option versus the store on Park St. read more

Don't go here , I got helped by Elijah. He added two lines to my account without me knowing. He might be friendly but don't get fooled.

Experience here was horrible 1st I was not greeted by anyone that was there once I walked in. Krisy or Kristy helped me, and she was just talking on the phone in her AirPods the entire time like it was very unprofessional!! She lied about not having a phone, I asked for a 13 she tells me there's 0 in stock and tries to send me to a "corporate" store. Another customer walked in 5 mins later and gets a 13 my mind was blown at that point. I asked for a simple upgrade and left with 2 unauthorized lines. The music in the store was NSFW all the lyrics where cussing and degrading, my kid was in store hearing that vulgar language. Save your time and don't get help from her. everyone else seemed pretty cool and knowledgeable she is just chasing a sell by adding unauthorized things read more

Stay Away! Bought a new phone and the manager sad it will take a while to transfer my data to the new phone. She suggested I leave my phones w her and go do some shopping. *Then she asked me for my phone's password, so 'she can monitor the data transfer'. I said to her that this isn't safe bc she'd have access to all my data! I asked her if this was standard T-Mobile policy, for managers to ask customers for their personal passwords. Since she wouldn't reply, I knew it wasn't. She's prob trying to scam me. Pretty creepy. Reported incident to T-Mobile but the never called back. Please.... Don't go here. read more

Save yourself time, security and stress this place is unorganized and unprofessional...the representative there are not trained properly and assisting two people at the same time where the representative assisting me added an unauthorized line and device in my account billed to me the next day. I had to drive back to this location twice for resolution which was not met by any of the staff here a lot of wasted time and gas spent. Literally had to resolve issue myself thanks to the Fraud department. read more

Shout out to Dillon and Elijahs!! I got my problems resolved in this store successfully, which it caused by the Newark blvd store, they messed up my whole family phone numbers and NONE of the staffs at the Newark store knows what they are doing at work. The only thing they know is asking you to call the customer service OR I am pretty sure if you are looking for a phone cover, they will get you a nice one. Luckily, I got my problems resolved even though I wasted my time and gas to drive all the way from Newark to Alameda, but it is worth. read more

Edith the manager at T-Mobile is probably the rudest unhelpful person ever. The workers there also don't have any idea what they're doing. They'll send you to another store rather than resolve things themselves. Do yourself a favor and go to the lake Merritt location. read more

They tell you a plan doesn't exist........ I went on T-Mobile website and showed them and they repainted "we don't over it here." Wasn't born yesterday, punch of idiots. read more

Like others have said, don't go here unless you'd like a surprise when you get your monthly bill. The people who work here are super dishonest. read more

I visited this store about 30 minutes ago with my mother, who is visiting from Japan. I wanted to get her a prepaid phone plan for the month she's here. The lady, Ashley, who helped us at this location, was incredibly rude. When she showed us the plans, I accidentally pressed the $35 plan instead of the $25 plan. When she had to start over, she began cursing and yelling at us, saying things like, "Why the hell did you press the $35 option then?" "My f***ing food is going to be cold now!" "I have to take my f***ing lunch!" and mumbling many more vulgar words at us. She then walked off and passed us on to a different associate who helped us perfectly. I understand that we all need lunch breaks, but my mother and I don't deserve to be cursed out in front of other customers. It made us both very sad and will never cause us to return to this store. Thanks to the rude lady who worked there. read more

Similar to the comments below that ELIJAH is DISHONEST and his main goal is to screw customers by adding unauthorized lines if he does not get what he wants! He quoted me with 3 options but i ended up choosing the least favorable to him cause i was not buying his BOGO add a line for iPhone 15. A lot more stuff that him and i agreed on but he did not do. I had to call customer service they resolved the issue right away. Sorry Stockton guy you ain't getting your commission. What a JOKE this guy is. read more

This location of T-Mobile has the best service! If you come here, try and get Luis to wait on you. His knowledge and customer service is the best ever..... ...... you won't be disappointed, whatever your needs are and he is quick. read more

This place is the absolute worst! Not only did they not notify me of my warranty replacement, they lied about the condition my phone needed to be in for them to actually exchange the phone. My phone replacement sat there for an entire week, just for them to pretend to call their manager to deny the warranty. It seems they do this often according to the reviews. Please stay away from this skeezy, unprofessional place. read more

This place is great! I recently tried to switch from one big name wireless carrier to another big name wireless carrier, but that didn't work out too well. So I came to this store and was greeted with a friendly attitude. I told them my situation and they said they can set me up with a new service at a cheaper rate. After jumping through a couple hoops because my existing carrier made it difficult to port my number, I left the store as a satisfied customer! I even got the new iPhone 12 Pro with my new wireless service. All at a cheaper rate like they promised! Thank you T-Mobile! read more

I bought an iphone before my 3week vacation and they made me buy a block because they said I can not charge it. I had the last model and owned the same block already. I was unable to return same day and I was unable to return because it's a 2week return policy. Then they said they would not accept my trade-in in store because they printed my shipping label on day 1. The rep specifically said I can go home and transfer my data before I trade in. He even told me to bring it back in. I bring it back and this new guy says well you have the shipping label so we can't take it not. Super upsetting. Not helpful and waste of everyone's time. Will not return read more

the manager cannot want to help you solve the problem. It only make your problem mass read more

Do yourself a favor and stay far away from this T Mobile location. After purchasing phones from them, we later found that they had added monthly charges for insurance coverage, had added an unauthorized line to our account, and had not given us any credit for an iphone trade-in which they had advertised. All of this was contrary to what we told them we wanted. Upon discovering this, we went back to the store for corrections and were met with hostility and an unwillingness to correct their own errors. We had to contact Tmobile directly to make the corrections to our account, which were entirely errors made by the staff of this location. Save yourself a hassle and stay far away from this location. read more

Twice now the people in this store have ripped me and my family off. Do NOT under any circumstances return your T-mobile hardware to this store. They will either lie about receiving it to T-Mobile corporate entirely, or lie about the condition the phone was in. Once the product is out of your hands you have no recourse to challenge them on its condition, either. I've bern a long time T-Mobile customer but I will never use them for hardware again. read more

We went to T Mobile at Alameda Landing last Saturday - to upgrade one iphone, and then transfer 3 phones from Verison to T mobile. Edith is the store manager and was amazingly helpful. Edith walked us through options, kept us in-the-know when our phone numbers were not porting over, and verizon was texting us to stay. it was a multi hour event, and through it all, Edith was incredibly kind, informative and we felt very taken care of. I had to go back today because my phone # still hasnt ported over, ane when i walked in, Edith saw me and said they were trying , right then, on the phone, to get answers from Version on my behalf, since they could see my phone # hadn't ported over. Anyway, this is a two thumbs up for Edith! SOMEONE give this person a raise! read more

Bought the iPhone 12 Pro Max and got a goto screen protector for it. Cracked in a couple days. Went to go use the "lifetime" warranty for it and they will not honor it. Spent 40 on a glass screen and got lied to about the warranty. Beware of these scammers. read more

I was having trouble with my S-20 phone. Several times in the last couple weeks I could not make calls or send texts. My phone would show a window that said that I was not connected to a mobile network and asked me to use a Wi-Fi network to make calls. Like everyone else I'm not always near a WiFi network and I don't want to pay for a phone so limited. I couldn't figure out if my settings had changed or what had happened, so I thought I should seek the help of "a professional". Saturday I went to the T-MOBILE store on 5th street. When I walked in there were 3 employees behind the counter talking to a young lady. Either the conversation was not phone related or her problem was so severe that it took a team of 3 people to deal with it. After I stood around a while I got the old "We'll be with you in a minute" treatment, which I took as code for GO AWAY, but I didn't. After a while one of the employees, apparently seeing that I wasn't just going to leave, left the 4 way conversation and asked if I needed help. I told him that sometimes I could make calls and sometimes I couldn't. He took my phone and called the store's number. You know how if you have a new noise in your car and you take it to a mechanic, the noise won't be there for him to hear? Of course, the call to the stores phone went through. He then said, "It's working now", as if he were a surgeon that had just saved some lucky guy's life. Again, I explained that sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn't. He said, "It's probably because you have an old phone". The S-20 isn't new, but it isn't all that old either. Did he ask me any questions about my phone? No. Did he bother to check my settings? No. It was obvious that I wasn't getting any help at this T-MOBILE store, so I went home and call the T-MOBILE 800 #, which is 800-777-4681. A lady spent 20 minutes asking me questions, testing my phone and giving me directions on settings. In other words, DOING WHAT T-MOBILE IS PAYING HER TO DO. The phone has been good since that call. I can't imagine any problem that would lead me to ever enter that store again. Either there was no manager on duty on Saturday afternoon or, if there was, they don't care about customer service. If you have a problem with your phone, do yourself a favor. Instead of wasting time and gas, call the number. read more

Amazing people work here! Luis was super patient and worked with us for a few hours. Thank you for all your help.

Kaithia help us to upgrade new phones . She was really really helpful. Really nice outgoing asking us questions how was your day I love that service I've been to other T-Mobile and never has they helps us like yesterday. I totally recommend people to go here !! best customer service. read more

This is THE WORST STORE. The T-Mobile "expert" handed us a tampered iPhone 13 Max Pro. The security seal from the iPhone packaging was BROKEN! - She told us that ALL iPhone 13 Max pros came with the security seal broken! PLEASE look at your box before leaving this store. Something shady is going on. We called customer service and were transferred to 3 people and 3 departments who couldn't help. Finally placed on hold for 45 minutes to where the phone call dropped. We are in the middle of transferring cellphone providers to be with T-Mobile and this is the start of our experience? PFFFFFFTTTTTTT ridiculous. This store is run by children who tell you to go to customer service when they can help you in the store. We bought the phone at the store. Had this phone delivered to the store. Opened the shipped box in the store. Discovered the sketchy TAMPERED iPhone packaging in the store -- THEN TOLD to call customer service to fix the issue. This is not a good start T-Mobile! Something shady is happening at your store. read more

I inquired about a T-Mobile hotspot. . They're great salesmen , but not truthful. The 5G hotspot, does not have unlimited data as they said. It doesn't even work. Down to 18 KILObytes/second. That's right...KILO, not mega. They made it seem as though the hotspot was included with the plan, as I asked how much it cost to determine if I wanted to buy it. Now, I found out it was around $90. And I can't return it. I've been a T mobile customer for years, but this will cause me to switch carriers. Oh, and now I find out that they don't even make a 5G as hotspot. read more
