End of May I went into my local T-Mobile store, the manager Derric Bringham scammed me to join T-Mobile.
He offered me the 'best plan' for $70 (when I later learned it was $105 per month). I told him my current bill was $115 per month and I would switch today bc I was happy with the offer. 2 days after I joined I received my 1st bill. I went back and said to Derric 'hey my bill says $105' he said it was an error/first time billing issue and he gave me a 'courtesy credit' to bring my bill back down to $70.
The following billing cycle it was again $105. I texted him (which I have screenshots of) saying 'Derric my bill is $105 again can you please fix it'. I texted him twice about it over a week and a half and both times he told me he was working on fixing it with a supervisor from customer service. Of course I never heard back from him and the bill was never fixed.
I was done with him bc I was so disgusted that he scammed me so I contacted T-Mobile directly. The supervisor I spoke with said that he offered me a rate that they can't support and I would have to stick with the $105 or take another plan. I said if you do not come through and provide me with the same plan and rate he offered then I will leave. The best she said she could do was offer me $70 for 3 months. So I paid the $70 and guess what, my next month's bill was back up to $105 again. (The supervisor also told me this is an issue that with their retail employees and many calls from upset people like me.)
As you can imagine that was my last straw so I left and went to another carrier paying even less than what Derric even offered me. FYI, when I found out Mint Mobile was recently bought out by T-Mobile I decided against them as of my abhorrent experience with T-Mobile.
I have spent hours of my time dealing with this horrible service and will be spreading the word to anyone I know including online reviews like this to run from T-Mobile. Derric should be investigated and possibly fired, this was absolutely unacceptable.
I will also be reporting this to the CFPB (Consumer Financial Protection Bureau). read more
