T-Mobile overall sucks. The service is terrible. The people that work at the company were surprised at how bad my service was when I had to communicate with them from my house. They offered no real help. They sent out a device that used Wi Fi calling when one of the phones was not Wi Fi calling-capable. So, it sat in our house for years since they gave us no way to send it back. I dreaded calling them because it was an ordeal to explain and 95% of the time when I had finally had enough with the service - NO SERVICE whatsoever. My S.O. had it worse with his phone service. We were paying for a service we could barely use.
Lake Stevens T-Mobile - Jihoon is a POS, seriously. At the end of October my phone wouldn't even turn on. Went in and talked to Misty, she told me I'd get a new phone, they would text my significant other, and made it sound like it would be a day or two at most. Also, she told me that I could stop by a battery place in Everett and see if that was the issue. I went in there after work the next day, to check on status - not there. The next day, stopped by again - no phone and told me I didn't have to come in every day. I had no other way of communicating with people, no way to pay bills, etc.
I skipped a day and went in again. Jihoon checked my status and finally I'm informed it's backordered. He then gives me this spiel about how I could get a much better phone with no extra charge but he wasn't promising anything. Every single person acted like it was no big deal that I had absolutely no phone and kept telling me that I'd get a text message - HOW?!?
I went in a couple of days later, still nothing - Jihoon again and the customer service was terrible. I left feeling like I was pestering them! I checked about the battery a couple of days after this all happened but the CPU was frying the battery so no such luck. After almost two weeks I had a bill that absolutely needed to be paid and I had no way of doing it online. I used my S.O.'s phone but we had to DRIVE DOWN THE BLOCK in order to get service. Another bill was due in a couple of days so I finally went and got a plan through Verizon - I was absolutely DONE!!!
I called T-Mobile to get my phone number switched over but the guy put me on hold to talk to his manager instead of answering my questions. [[At this time my S.O. had not switched and might have stayed with them because he didn't want to spend any extra money.]] I ended up hanging up because I had other things to do - no call back even though I left them my number.
Went in one last time to the store to cancel my account and lo and behold got Jihoon. He was absolutely condescending. I wanted to settle everything right then and there but had to call. Was charged even though I didn't have a phone, didn't use their service after October 31, 2017 BECAUSE I HAD NO WAY TO DO SO, and was charged the following month, too. My S.O. did end up switching with me and we had to pay the whole cycle even though we quit early on in the cycle. I was with them for 10+ years because I hate dealing with that stuff and they took as much money as they could. I pay less now with Verizon and we're paying the monthly fees for our phones too (our phones with T-Mobile were paid off).
So, moral of the story = DO NOT GO TO T-MOBILE (you will be ripped off) and Jihoon is a POS!!! Also, the customer service is beyond terrible. I really don't think they could care less. read more
