Apparently I'm a girl who just likes abuse.
I liken my relationship with T-Mobile to a relationship to a shitty boyfriend. When it's good, it's great, but when it's bad, I've been Chris Brown'd. I left my previous abuser, Verizon, last winter and moved in with T-Mobile. TM said he would never hurt me. He'd never make me sign a contract or ask me to keep my old-ass phone for longer than six months. He wouldn't be a corporate robot sent from the cellular telephone depths of misery to make my life a living out-of-service hell.
Some of that remained partly true. The first eight months of our young relationship I enjoyed. The romantic dinners, the lower bills, the nice new phone. And then the iPhone 6 came out. TM shushed me to sleep and told me, "you can have whatever you want, baby. You're on my JUMP program, girl. You can have it all. Every six months at least." That's when the lies started.
I ordered my iPhone 6, and two weeks later I got a 6 Plus. Uh, have you seen my midget hands? I already have an iPad thanks, I don't need a second one that makes calls. I called TM trying to get it fixed, and got no luck. I was even hung up on once. That was fun. So I returned it to this store where they returned it for me and tried to order me a 6. And tried, and triedandtriedandtried. No dice. Defeated, I gave up and went home.
Two weeks later, after the promises of receiving a call as soon as the 6 golds came into the store I would be the first to know, the phones came in and I got no phone call. Like some pitiful girlfriend left on the last day of summer before her boyfriend heads off to college. Don't worry girl, you'll be the first person I call when I'm home on break. Uh huh. I had to walk into the store to find out they had been cheating on me! Caught iPhone 6-handed, guys!!
So after over an hour in the store, I finally got my midge hands on the phone I waited six weeks for #firstworldproblems. And then my 6 didn't want to play with my 5S and the technician had to keep restarting the transfer process. This breakup was going miserably. Eventually, TWO HOURS LATER, I got my new 6. Victory at last!!!! I'm a free woman!! Eeerrrr except my new 6 is a lemon I think. It transferred over all my photos seven times. Seven times! Deleted all the data in my apps, and my favorite- it notifies me in two minute intervals of texts I get. I F#$@#$$ saw it pop up the first time, 6!! Stop F$%^ telling me about the same F@#$% text!! I'd go back to the store if I were scared of what they would do with the phone the second time they got their normal-sized hands on it.
The guys at this location are nice, attentive, but they are not Apple-friendly. Every single guy I talk to basically washes their hands of the iPhones. They're quick to tell me they don't have iPhones and don't recommend them. The guy who transferred my 5S to my 6 wasn't even sure how the new 6 worked. Come on man. You can do better than that.
Excuse me, I have to take this text that I've been notified about four times since starting this review. read more
