The guys at the store were invaluable and nice. However, we received a free line several months ago, signed up for it, and got a phone number for it. The deal was that it was free, and we could reserve it and use it whenever we got another phone or device. We had a member of our extended family who had been on our account for a number of years and wanted their own account, so we removed two lines. We were never told, by the corporate office (not the T-Mobile store), that we had to continue with our exact plan and the same number of lines, and we started getting charged for our "Free" line. We went back to the store, and they said that they could "grandfather" us in for the free line. Lo and behold, we were charged for the line after this change, even though we were told by the guys at the store that they would grandfather us in -- apparently, corporate overrides the store level. We have six phone lines, one watch, and one tablet, so we already pay a good amount of money, and we've been with T-Mobile/Sprint for well over 20 years. We were going to use the extra line for our youngest child to get a phone later this year. Needless to say, they would not go back to their original word and said they would continue to charge for the line, so we ended up cancelling the "Free" line since we won't be getting another phone for 6 more months.
To say we are disappointed would be an understatement. We pay $6000+/year for our T-Mobile services and devices -- nothing but cellular, no home internet or anything else. We rarely upgrade our phones and such, so we don't have ongoing leases often. We expect that when we are told something by an associate of the company, especially a manager, that person's word will be upheld.
Not sure where to go from here, but seriously considering taking my $500+/monthly cell bill to another company and would welcome recommendations.
I do want to reiterate that the folks at this T-Mobile location were fantastic, and I definitely recommend them. read more
