I have never given a bad online review before, but unfortunately feel forced into letting people know how business is conducted at T-Mobile here.
My wife and I went in to sign up for new service and phones. We were told they were running a promotion giving away a free late edition Google watch.
I politely declined saying I wouldn't use it. The saleswoman continued to push that it was free and I might as well take it. So I said fine.
We then went over an itemized list of what our new monthly bill would be. It included the phone numbers, phones, etc that we agreed upon. The total came out to around $150 a month.
Fast forward a month and we have a pro-rated bill for $140. Everything seems fine.
By month 2, our bill had increased to $175. More than we agreed upon. We find they tacked on, without informing us, a monthly service fee and extra watch phone line, specifically for the watch we were told cost nothing extra, and wasnt discussed in the itemized breakdown in store. This wasnt caught in the first months bill due to the pro-rate.
After informing them of this, we were told we'd receive a call back to discuss possible reimbursement. No call was received, so we went back into the store where we were told there was nothing they can do and we would have to pay for the watch we said we didnt want, in full, to cancel the extra monthly fees we never agreed to or were informed of.
Duping customers, intentionally or unintentionally, into purchasing a nearly $200 late model product we explicitly said we didn't want and wouldn't use is not the right way to do business.
The proper move would be to admit the mistake and fix the issue to ensure a proper customer relationship for years to come. You just end up losing all that income from possible future recommendations to your service over the cost of a watch. read more
