Please Extra Careful of This Business.
Normally, I don't write reviews, but this time, I had to, not because I am upset, but as a caution for students (especially international students) and older adults. Please be extra careful of the service here.
I took my nephew, who just arrived from Vietnam as an international student, to get a phone plan. I went online and found a plan for $50/month (Essentials Saver). I asked the lady if there were any discounts for students. She told me there was a plan for $100/month but that I would have to call customer service to ask for a discount. This seemed suspicious already, so I told her I only wanted the Essentials Saver plan. She then said that plan was only for existing customers. I told her that nowhere on the website did it state that the plan was for existing customers only.
She went into the office to talk to her boss. When she returned, she proceeded with the SIM activation without letting me know if I could get the Essentials Saver plan. I asked her again, telling her that I only wanted the $50/month plan, and she assured me that I would get that plan. After she finished activating the SIM card, she said it was done. We didn't sign anything, and we paid the $10 activation fee. We didn't receive any printout of the plan.
I asked her two more times before we left the store if I would be paying $50/month for this plan, and she assured me, even telling me her name. We left and headed for lunch. I downloaded the T-Mobile app and created an account. Once I logged in, I saw that the plan was $100/month and not the Essentials Saver.
I drove back to the store. Before I could even talk to her, she told me that her boss was changing the plan, but he was in a meeting, and we would have to wait an hour. I told her I would wait an hour in the store. Not even five minutes later, the plan suddenly changed, and we received a notification on the phone that the plan had been changed to $50/month. I asked for a printout of the document, but she refused, saying she couldn't print it and that I could take a picture of what was on her iPad.
Please be careful with this place. They have horrible customer service and conduct unethical business. Always ask for a copy of your plan, and download the app to create an account before leaving the store. Please be extra careful. read more
