Luring their customers into buying equipment they don't need with a false promise of saving taxes on my plan.
I walked into this store on Sep 30 simply to ask whether I am eligible for the Netflix feature they just released. I didn't want anything else, didn't ask for anything else.
Clarissa was very nice, checked my account and said that of course, I am in for Netflix but also there is a promo for me if I buy the Beats Headphones then Ill save taxes on my current plan.
Say what?! It took me 30 minutes to wrap my head around it. I asked her 5 times whether Im keeping my plan AND saving taxes on it AND getting the headphones.
I called my boyfriend and she explained it to him.
Her colleague was there saying the same.
Finally I believed her and signed the papers for the headphones.
Lo and behold, my plan was changes after that and I was paying additional $20 for my third line. Ok, again something to deal with at Tmobile.
Called the store, Clarissa is on vacation. Called again, Clarissa is off today. Called again, Alex asked what he can do for me, I explained the situation and his response was, "Oh, this is a common mistake. You have to call customer service."
Wait. A COMMON MISTAKE?
Shouldn't a mistake happen once and then never again?!
I called Tmobile 4 times since then. Hours on the phone. I have all the names of the people that I spoke with, who promised to help me and to call me back. Not once. Finally yesterday, I got to a person who after an hour managed to get me back on my old plan (thank you) but not him NOR HIS MANAGER were able to do anything about the headphones!!
I paid $320 for something that I didn't need in the first place plus spent hours on the phone with customers service (soo sick and tired of that) and they can't do anything!! They can't take them back because of the expiration of the 14 days period. (how would I know that they would change my plan before they did?!)
Infuriating. It really is. Why isn't Clarissa paying for her common mistake? Why do I have to pay for it?!
Typical Tmobile. Im looking for another carrier for my three lines. read more
