Technical support informed me app is not working properly. I am trying to fix since 2.10.22 to find port forwarding to get security cameras can be viewed on cell phone. ports forwarding are not open. Costco technical support contacted T-Mobile technical find out that no port forwarding is working now. Strange how T-Mobile launched internet tower without checking app is working properly val. Technical Support in Philippine is useless they don't know anything just waste time I can give proof 2/11/22 spoke to 5 technical support just were wasting time then same on 2/12/22 finally contacted Costco technical support they found problem by communicating T-Mobile that there is no app forwarding excess due to main problem in app in ARCKVD21 GATEWAY BLK KIT. They are trying to fix. T-Mobile should not launch ARCKVD21 GATEWAY BLK KIT when it is not functioning properly and customer should not be charged monthly fee until problem is fixed.

Presently customer can't excess security cameras see live due to port forwarding is not available.

Spectrum and AT&T internet don't port forwarding problem and security cameras can be seen live on your T-Mobile cell phones

I suppose to disconnect my spectrum internet on February 10 .2022 but paying for two internets waiting T-Mobile will fix. T-Mobile technical support does not care for follow up with the customers to let them know situation but sorry to say they are not fully trained. I can give you their name and id number if they provided correctly

After over 10 years of being a Verizon customer I was tempted by T-Mobile's offer of an iPhone13 if I would switch. Well, of course, that was a come on. But, the T-Mobile rep on the phone said that I could get a $500 trade in on my iphone 8. More than Apple or Verizon was offering so I decided to switch. When the new phone came there was nothing about returning the old phone. When I called up T-Mobile, they had no record of a trade in being part of the deal but, this rep said that they would make good on the sales offer. A couple more days passed and no indication that a trade in was being processed so I went to the T-Mobile store in Stamford CT where they explained that there was no trade in deal added to the order. So, I asked to cancel the transaction at the store but they couldn't do that - specifically because they couldn't take back the phone they sent me - since the original order was made on the phone. The original order was placed Feb 3rd. The (2 day shipping) arrived 4 days later on the 7th.

I opened account on 05.03.21 at Tmobile store, Northridge assigned account number last 4 digit 230 phone number given [protected] someone change my street address to 47th street Avenue bank refused pay when street address is not correct. I ask T-Mobile to tell me how and who changed my street address they don't want to tell and spoiled my credit line. I ask them give me detail how long sink up drive was in working condition. T-Mobile has not send me any letter or notice to pay for the drive, TMOBILE FAILED TO EXPLAIN HOW MY STREET ADDRESS CHANGES,

February 12,2022, visited T-Mobile store at 19420 Nordhoff street, Northridge 91324. T-Mobile employee does not want to activate my account until I pay $52.40. I paid amount which was not fair they still did not active my account but want to open new account by checking my credit all the information asking again. Myself and T-Mobile agent was repeating my address again and agin but computer was adding something else. I informed T-Mobile that you have customer service in Philippine may be some going in to account get information because when you call them they give you entirely different information about your account.

T-Mobile never took copy of license of any customer why my driver license on file

Complied with raise of $15.00 more to plan to comply with upgrade promotion. I was qualified for an upgrade for my One Plus phone and I mailed it in after activating my Samsung Galaxy S21 5G. I never received the credit of $800.00 that was the promotion. I have heard this is a problem with Tmobile and need help to get this resolved because I am not going to keep paying when I have a dispute about the price that I am paying without getting my credit.

I have been a customer of Sprint (now TMobil) for 15+ years and, thus, have had the same phone number for that many years. Recently I decided to change my phone coverage to PureTalk USA. I was told that I would need request that my number be ported over to PureTalk, which I did both online and on the phone.

I had to use my friend's LAN line as I had inserted the PureTalk SIM card into my phone in order to activate it. After a day or so I was still unable to get my card/phone registered. When I called PureTalk to let them know the card wasn't working, the rep explained TMobile had turned down the request to port my number over, and that I would need to contact TMobile to request they unlock/release my number.

The next few days were a series of visits to the local TMobile store to obtain my account number and pin number, and calls and chats with TMobile. I related this information to a TMobile rep on the phone (hardly able to understand her and requested several times that she please slow down... language barrier). She informed me my pin number was incorrect. I informed her the agent at the TMobile store had given it to me. On ONE of my phone conversations with a rep, I was asked to answer my security question. It took me 10 minutes, because of the language barrier, to get across the name of my childhood street address. I was told, still, that my answer was incorrect. I finally got him to spell the name correctly however, I found later, that I had written Ln (for Lane) on my security answer and he didn't 'get"that that was what it meant.

The next day, on another phone call, going through all the hoops of the previous couple of days, I was then told to make up a new pin number and thought I was making progress. I was told the number had been ported over to PureTalk and the call ended. I then called PureTalk and was told that they still hadn't released the number.

This time I turned to the"chat" option and was told after 20 minutes of typing that they would need my IMEI number... which is in my phone... which I am locked out of. I explained that I could not at that time get IN to my phone and they simply replied they would need that number. I was very upset and asked to speak to a Supervisor. After a long wait, the same rep came on and said they would need the make and model of my phone, which I gave them. After another long wait the same rep came on and told me that wasn't what their records showed... and before I could reply, she shut down the chat.

I tried ti go back into the site and found my account had been shut down and I was unable to resume a chat. So I gave up. I called PureTalk and told the rep I would need to have a new number as TMobile was refusing to release my number. (Isn't that illegal?). She was very kind and said they have had a lot of similar problems with people trying to switch over with TMobile. I had to order another SIM card, which I was told will take 3-5 days... so I am without my cell phone, and will have to make sure all my contacts... friends, family, and business contacts have my new number. I know. It's a first world problem, but I am so sick and tired of these big billion dollar corporations screwing people over. I put this out on Nextdoor and was amazed at the number of people who have had very similar experiences with TMobile.

I have written a letter to the FCC reporting this and I am hoping they will pay attention and take some action, although I'm not betting on it.

I did a switch from Verizon to T-Mobile hoping that i will get what was promise to me about getting 4 new phones if i switch and get the Magenta Military Max, first there was no phones for getting at the store, and the store saler promise me that as soon as they have the phones they will keep their promise of the promotional offer that was getting $400 as an instant credit as a trade in that i could use for paying the down payment and the $1000 for having the magenta max with the switch, but when they have the phones they told me that i dont have the credit, then i had to call customer service for an increase of my financing credit or AC as they call, what took them like 3 weeks to get approved, by the time that i have the financing approved the promotion was over then i had to call them again and explain them that i was waiting for the phones and for the financing increasing, when i finally could have everything set and the promise that i will get my $400 trade in and the $1000 account credit, happly get into to the store and surprisley the trade in because my phone was green i will only get 180 dollars of instant credit for trade in nothing to do with the 400 that i was promise, but if my phone were gold i will get $360 at the en after 3 months waiting i walked out the store with the worst opinion of the [censored]y service and lack of profesionalisim that T-Mobile have, lack of word and keeping their word, i would never recommend nobody to switch to T-Mobile they are full of liars and false promises for only get you inside of their network. I personally am switching back to Verizon and i regret the time when i took the worst decision of my life of switching to T-Mobile. Hope that people read my comments and don't make the same mistake as i did.

As a Sprint customer and with migration into T-Mobile was told needed to upgrade phones to T-Mobile and it needed to be 5G. From September 2021 until first of January spoke with various agents of T-Mobile was told we would receive free phones and our bill would not change. Our Statement shows phones are under contract and our bill has increased. We live rural and at this time might have 1-2 bars and it's not even 4Glite. Also received a supposed free promotion of a watch and was told that would not be a billed and yet it is. Have spoken to them regarding all of this and told it would be corrected and it has not, have also written a letter to Corp headquarters and have not heard a thing. Tired of being lied to.

We have been customers with another cellular service for nearly 20 years. There are 4 phone users in my family. We made the bold move to “bring your phone” to T-Mobile and paid off 2 of our remaining contracts and were promised we would receive up to $800 for the move to T-Mobile. Before crossing over to the new network we sent in our screenshots to T-Mobile and filled out the paperwork. We were advised we would need to wait 6-8 weeks for the credit from T-Mobile. After waiting for 3 months we called customer service and were told our paperwork was never filed and that we were past the one month deadline to re file our paperwork to receive our promotional amount. When we were transferred to the promotional dept they said the same and that customer service would “escalate” this case and contact us. No contact. We called customer service in another week or two and were now told that the 2 month deadline had elapsed 5 days before our follow up call and that nothing could be done since we missed the deadline. All this to say that we filed everything the day T-Mobile got 4 new customers to sign up with them. They did not send us any of what we were promised, denied receiving our paperwork, told us we only had one month to file the paperwork, then told us they had extended that deadline to 3 months, and then told us that we did not meet any of their deadlines even with repeated calls to their reward dept and their customer service department. I spent over a 6 hours speaking with representatives at T-Mobile. We did nothing wrong on our end. And we did not receive the promotion we were promised

We pay 100 per month for less than 5 megs down. I've had DSL that blew this away. Can we get us to 10meg down. We have never had that. In Texas we had

225megs down on a bad day. I'm just asking for 10. Please do something.

We use two Alcatel hotspots.

thanks,

I spoke with a representative on the phone and ordered T-Mobile internet service. Easy. The next day the equipment arrived via mail and we installed it. Right away we started having problems, so we called and everything worked fine-until the next morning when we had NO INTERNET! We called and after 2 hours of trying to resolve the issue, we were told that their equipment was faulty and they'd send new equipment out. That was 3 days ago and the new equipment still hasn't arrived, so we decided to switch to another company (who came out right away and hooked up our service). I called T-Mobile and was told that I would need to drive to the nearest store (2 hours away) to be able to cancel the service! I called their corporate office, but was sent to a representative somewhere who could barely speak English. I called the corporate office again and was told that their leadership team does not accept calls anymore and the only live people to speak with are the associates, who can't cancel my service! How ridiculous! NEVER NEVER AGAIN will we try any T-Mobile service or product. I was unable to find any contact info on their current CEO except for the address of their corporate office. We believe that T-Mobile is badly structured and poorly run. We should not have to drive 2 hours to cancel this service.

In October of 2021 my husband purchased a new phone (Samsung Galaxy S21) online, what was shipped to us was not a Samsung Galaxy S21 so we contacted T-Mobile and discussed what would be the easiest way to return the wrong phone and get the correct one, the T mobile rep advised me to ship it back to the company, on October 8th 2021 I shipped the phone back, the phone was delivered to T-Mobile on October 15th at 11:02 am (I have tracking info). As of November 2021, I was still getting charged for the shipped back phone so I spoke to T-Mobile explained the issue and they did a handset request search, they did admit that yes, the box was delivered on October 15th but there was no phone inside the box, when they search the IMEI number they admitted that the phone that I returned was activated on someone else's plan. Because T-Mobile cannot find the phone that I shipped back they said that there is nothing they could do to help me, they told me to contact UPS, I did and they told me to contact T-Mobile. I am lost and don't know where to turn, I am paying for a $1000 phone for someone else. I will be doing a report with BBB and will do anything I can to solve this issue.

I purchased an upgrade to an iPhone 13 through a store branch and the individual told me I would only need to pay $499 for the new phone with this promotion. They did not have the color I wanted in the store so it had to be shipped to my house.
Once received I took the new phone in for a data transfer and to pay the phone off. The representative I worked with there didn't seem to know much about how the promotion works because he didn't inform me that if I pay any of the phone off it will reduce the $400 off promotion. He charged me $627 for the $899 phone that had a $400 off promotion. He didn't explain any of the charges and the receipt was just a single line item with no explanation other than the description of my phone. The representative ensured me that my bill would not go up by the $30 it would have gone up to pay for the phone monthly and they would call customer service to make sure it was settled.
Later that day I called T-Mobile customer service to try to get clarification on the charges and ensure they resolved the phone bill price. The customer service rep, Erica 2056101, had me waiting around for about 30 minutes while she reviewed the account. She explained how paying the phone off voids up to $273 of the $400 off promotion and that the phone is not actually paid off, that there are still 9 months of payments on it and I would receive the $9.10/mo credit for the duration of that 9 months. I requested the remaining $270 of the phone to be paid over the original 30 months instead of 9 months, but she stated that wasn't an option, so I requested a refund and she said there was nothing she could do. She said if I wanted a refund and to go back to the 30 months I would need to go back to the store that charged us.
I went back to the store and they said they could not refund the charge.
I called customer service back, [protected]@T-Mobile, and they were able to, within minute, apply a refund for the $627 and change the plan back to 30 months.

This experiencing was extremely frustrating for many reasons and could have easily been avoiding and resolved several times over with proper education and training.
1) the store clerk who told me I would only have to pay $499 for the phone should have told me the price is only if I pay the full price of the phone over 30 months
2) the store clerk who took my payment should have notified me that doing so would affect the promotional discount.
3) the store clerk who took my payment should have known the correct amount to charge for a full phone payoff, as it seems he was expecting the remaining $273 of the $899 was just going to be stretched out over 30 months and negate the $9.10/mo credit from the promotion.
4) Erica with Customer Service was terrible at explaining things and I had to deduce several facts about this transaction on my own
5) Erica with Customer Service had full capability to refund the amount of charge and should have handled the refund or escalate it to someone who knew how.

On a positive note Jeri with Customer Service did a wonderful job! He was very quick, concise and friendly.

Trying to get a phone upgrade to 5G (your requirement). Was promised a Samsung Galaxy A32. Already upgraded [protected] to that phone on my account. Sprint customer for over 10 years and never ever treated this way...

Stopped at Point store and was told I could only get a revel. I was rudly told to call corporate because they didn't work for sprint/tmobile and couldn't/wouldn't do it contact them for me. Tried 3 times to talk to someone at corporate sprint.

First 2 times was on for an hour and cut off both times without any answer. Today talked to someone that transfered me to Rommel (I think he is in Mumbia as were the first 2). He said he would be able to get me my A32. He then wanted to sell me a watch, then a tablet, then a $30 fee and finally Taxes on the phone before he would ship it. He wanted my Credit Card... I told him to add it to my account #[protected] and said he could not do that... I will not give my CC # to someone in India and felt I was being scammed (Very Uncomfortable!). At the point I said I would not give CC# and needed to talk to his supervisor... he refused and got rude. I ended the call at that point.

Every since T-Mobile has acquired SPRINT, I have had my phone disconnected more than a dozen or more times for "nonpayment". I've challenged them on several occassions that my phone bill is entirely too high just to have 3 phone lines and a IPAD. Each month my bill has been over $1, 000, so I can't catch up. This is of urgent concern for me. I've paid thousands to pay my bill in full at different intervals, but still the next bill is just as much as the previous bill. I would appreciate if someone looked into this matter ASAP. As I am a 100% service connected disabled veteran and this is my only means of communication in the event of an emergency. I will report to the powers that be as well as this platform. Praying a change will come.

Re: Discrimination and/or Deficiencies occurring in

Approx 10 A.M.

I have phone verification which details the gross inefficiencies occurring in your Henderson, Nevada's Galleria office.

That I, I can visually clock the time spent with several customers and the delays, which at times appeared intentional.

The effect was that employees at this particular office holds the power of choosing who she will and will not service. The result of what visually appeared to be unnecessary time wasting and delay was the build of numerous customers--this occurring as a result of one employee's decision to spend an inordinate amount of time, during which she was overheard discussing personal issues. It is important to emphasize: When I entered, there were very few customers. The build up in the number of customers was directly due --in my opinion--to unprofessional interpersonal dialogues between existing customers and staff. The female staff member who conspicuously delayed progress chose--at one point-- to interrupt, by now 45 minutes to an hour long, conversation and answered an incoming phone call. Again: she stopped an exchange between herself and another customer and launched into a phone conversation. (Please remember that other staff was available Please remember that the build up in the number of customers awaiting service was directly tied to delays effectuated by the staff. ) In other words, the customer load was the direct result of an inefficient and discriminating staff. The reaction to the phone call and the attempt by certain staff members to discourage spending time with a phone call as the store was, by now, full of patrons goes to prove the inefficiencies I encountered/

Again, the question becomes: Does T-Mobile empower each employee to deal with only those customers who fit into a "preferred" social/racial/demographic profile.

I went to t mobile on january 13, 2022. the one on n mall dr alexandria la. i was going to sign a contract with tmobile and was looking forward to being with this company. the two sales clerks in the store were black females and made me very uncomfortable because i felt like they didnt want to help me. unfortunately i wont ever be going back there again and have signed up with another company with 5 lines. those two females were talking, laughing, and did not have time for me. i was very dissapointed with those females and think they need to be fired.

Before switching to T--Mobile, I was a long-time Verizon customer and happy with the service, but intrigued to save money by moving over to T-Mobile. When I spoke to a sales agent, I told them that I would be interested in their promotions at the time, which were to transfer my son's number over in the Keep and Switch Program. My wife and I would trade in our iPhone 12 pros for device credits and that T-Mobile would pay off the remaining balance. Straight forward, right? Not at all.

When I called about getting our gift cards to pay off the balance on my Verizon accounts, they told me that I was only eligible for device credits with T-Mobile. I did not qualify for the Carrier Freedom program (which is how you pay off your device balance from another carrier), which was not what I was told. So, now I have spent an obscene time with customer service agents and numerous departments.

The main issue is that the sales agent that I was working with assured me that I would get device credits for my phones as indicated below in an email from them and that I would get the device credits to pay off the remaining balance that I owed to Verizon on the devices that I traded in. This was a very big reason that I switched over to T-Mobile. Now they are saying that it will not be honored. The issue is that I was very close to paying off my Verizon phones, and now I have a measly $900 credit (towards $2000) on two brand new iPhones when I would have had the 12 pros paid off in a few months. This was also two days before the end of the year, so I cannot help but feel that the salesperson said whatever they needed to get their commission before the year ran out.

6 months ago I ordered T Mobile Internet..I received the device and tried numerous times to connect the device...I called customer service several times and no help...I suspended it and you keep sending me bills...I will not pay for a service that will not work...I called to let you know it was stolen ..

I've had this phone for three months and This phone stays extremely hot when it's charging and after a few minutes of any activity on it. This phone also doesn't have a voicemail alert system by icon, vibration or tone. I've been on the line with tech support four times since last Monday and I've been into two different stores since last week and no one can seem to help me. I've never had a cell phone that doesn't give you an alert when you have a voicemail. I've never felt so disrespected by a company because they refuse to solve my problem and they continue to give the same info and nothing they say works. I think it's horrible that the consumer has to continue to lose because a major company refuse to do what's right. The folks in the stores just update your software and tell you to wait thirty minutes and for nothing once again to be solved. I'm on the phone with tech support right now as I'm typing and I'm getting no where. My name is Reginald Downs. Cell # is [protected]... I'm writing from St. Louis, Mo. I've been with T Mobile for several years now and this has to be the worst. Just as I'm on hold with tech support, They hang up on me. This drama is getting worse by the day. Terrible...

Have to be very careful about international roaming. I have been a loyal T-mobile client in Poland for over 7 years. Compared with Orange - my wife's telephone provider I'm used to paying more and this is ironic since I'm the international one and expected to get more calls outside the EU/ travel and to roam. T-mobile estimates that the cost of 1GB outside of its data plan is zloty 36, 000 but this is a made up number and I used the Caribbean network out in an emergency situation with lost baggage for 10 seconds and got hit with a zloty 2.000 data roaming charge- trying to reclaim from AON as my trip was insured. Funny enough my wife with Orange did the same thing and downloaded Covid related docs for over 3 minutes and her bill...zloty 52 for using roaming and international data. Don't know if there are others but i think in general foreigners in Poland/ expats pay between 100 and 10.000 percent more for things compared to locals. Call us walking ATMs.
