This T-Mobile has really annoyed me. For starters, the staff seems more interested in their personal conversations than satisfying their customers, and sadly this behavior has trickled down from the top.
I talked my GF into leaving Sprint and switching to T-Mobile(prior to them, oh, I dunno, merging into one company lol) because of T-Mobile's impeccable customer service and customer friendly prices.
We walked into this store and attempted to switch her line over, only for the young lady at the desk to attempt to switch her line over before Sprint released her number, even though her manager gave her strict instructions to wait. This locked my GF's phone, and we were told it would remain that way for 48 hours.
Now, typically, if a mistake of this magnitude was made, I'd be apologetic. I mean, it's not the end of the world, but most of us live through our cell phones and it would've been nice to feel like they cared.
Upset because my GF was so bothered, I pulled the rep to the side, instead of addressing her in front of customers, ruining potential business and explained that I didn't think it was fair to have us leave out of the store without being accommodated for their screw up, so she tells me that she will attempt to get a replacement phone until my GF's phone is back on, explaining that they don't usually do this. I said thank you.
So they give us the replacement with conditions, that the phone needed to be brought back to the store within 14 days, but it could only be brought back when the manager was present bc we'd need his password in order to return the phone. Pretty simple, right?
Wrong.
We called this store so many times. We were told that the manager was there, then when we would arrive, be told that he left, or that he called out, or that he was on vacation. When I explained that we needed to return the phone, it just seemed like no one cared.
When we finally got in touch with the manager he tells us we have to bring the phone back today or tomorrow to "see what I can do."
Excuse me?
This phone was given to me bc of a mistake by YOUR staff. The reason that the phone was not returned in time is because of YOUR schedule. And now we're being punished?
We ended up having to keep the phone but he gave us a credit or something he tried to explain. Problem is, I still have a monthly charge for a phone that I didn't want, or need. read more
