Almost the entire month of September was spent going back and forth with T-Mobile. On 9/26/24 I visited the ************* location in ************* to upgrade my fully paid off phone and possibly my paid off watch. The associates were a bit skiddish almost as if they were on something. After examining the promos to me, upgrade my phone get $1000 off essentially making the new phone free then for upgrading get a free watch. Weve been burned by this company multiple times so shame on me for this one. Long story short the agent signed us up for a plan without telling us, gave us zero print outs of anything he did per him its all emailed now. Only emails weve received is for the order of the phone and watch. Phone has since been returned because I travel for work and was never made aware wed have to sign for it. Then my bill comes, all of these charges we NEVER approved. This is falsifying a customers account which is beyond wrong. I then speak with numerous agents each one telling me something false. Two nights ago Im told by **** to go in store by 10/15 to return it and Im good to go. While at the store tonight Im told sorry you shouldve asked for a return kit we cant take it back. **** told me a return kit doesnt exist. While in front of the store tonight I call and am told pretty much tough luck youre stuck with the watch we lied about. Oh and that return kits dont exist. This is absolute BS I want the watch returned and the line that he ALSO added to be cancelled!Business response

********************** regrets any concerns our customer may have regarding the account, and we appreciate the opportunity to respond. In reviewing this matter, the customers concerns pertain to their promotional rebates. Our customer also mentioned a watch line they would like cancelled and returned. T-Mobile has investigated these concerns accordingly.
T-Mobile records confirm that our customer was subscribed to the Magenta rate plan. However, in September of 2024, our customer took advantage of our Equipment Installment Plan with the purchase a watch and an Apple handset. The Apple handset was enrolled in the $1,000.00 off with Trade on Go5G Next promotion which required the rate plan to be changed to the Go5G Next rate plan. The handset was returned under the buyers remorse period and T-Mobile has confirmed the return of this handset. Regrettably, as the watch was outside the buyers remorse period our customer was not able to return the watch.
T-Mobile contacted the customer on October 16, 2024, and provided the above information. A credit was applied to the account to amicably resolve our customers concerns. Furthermore, we provided them our contact information should they have any additional questions regarding this matter.
Based on the foregoing, we respectfully request this complaint against T-Mobile be closed.

I was promised porting over credit for two numbers. ***** **** was my major account ***resentative for my business account. He sent me over the email attached that shows what was promised to me. I started my account on May 3, 2024 and it has been h*** ever since. No one will fix the problem although they have the notes of what was promised. It took me about a week to get my phones set up correctly. ***** **** shortly after started to avoid my calls and text messages (which I have) I also have all emails from him. Also the email where I was told my bill would be $170 and now it $275. I was offered a free tablet and 2 watches which later was charged for. It is no way T-MOBILE should be able to do customers like this and get away with it.They switch me for *** to *** promising to fix it and nothing is done. They promise to call back and do so only to say the promo can not be applied. It has been 5 months of back and forth with no resolve.I have spoken to countless ***resentative and so call supervisors (Some names I have) and also ****** ******** International Specialist Business Sales West who claim to be helping ***** **** out. Again no resolve. Today alone I spoke to ***** ********* **** and ****** ALL in one phone ******* which ****** plans to call me back later (which is there practice).I believe they reel people in by, telling them of all the promotions, and never give them to the customer, hoping that they would let it go. They have given me several reasons why I am not to get the promotion, months after the initial offer. One reason, in particular was that they thought I went into a store to open my account, but I did not. I have the emails to prove it was done over the phone and now they have no answer as to why I cannot receive the port in credits. The will only say I was eligible.Business response

********************** regrets any concerns our customer has regarding the account, and we appreciate the opportunity to respond to this matter. In reviewing this matter, the customers concerns are pertaining to a promotion.
Our records reflect the customer took advantage of our Equipment Installment Plan (EIP) for a tablet and two watches. The tablet is being charged monthly installments and is receiving the ******* Tablet ******** promotion, with the monthly Recurring Device Credit (RDC) offsetting the cost of the tablet. Additionally, one of the watches is being charged monthly installments and is receiving the ******* Watch ******** promotion, with the monthly RDC offsetting the cost of the watch. The second watch is being charged for the monthly installment cost, receiving the ******* Watch ******** promotion and is paying extra for the monthly installment charges due to larger size of the watch.
In August 2024, the customer contacted ************* regarding the port in credits for the Switch ******** Promotion, which ************* applied a bill credit.
On October 22, 2024, our office completed our investigation and found that one of the lines was ported from another carrier and met the Switch ******** requirements, the second line that was ported from a different carrier did not meet the Switch ******** requirements due to being an ineligible carrier. Additionally, the account is being billed correctly. On the same date our office contacted the customer and apprised of the above; to come to amicable resolution, we applied a bill credit to the account. Furthermore, we provided them our contact information should they have any additional questions regarding this matter.
Based on the foregoing, we respectfully request this complaint against T-Mobile be closed.

I opened 4 lines of Go-5g plus on 7.28.2024 at the T-mobile booth at **********************, **. The offer includes 4 $50 p***aid **** cards and 4 $150 ****** card. By the time I opened the account, the sales *** told me all discounts had applied and I only needed to wait 2 billing cycles to get the rebates. As for now, I haven't received anything and I asked the online Tmobile ***, only to be told that I lost the rebates because I have to redeem them within 30 days. In the meantime, I didn't receive any instructions on how to redeem the rebates when I open the account, nor did I receive any communication from Tmobile regarding expirations of my rebates. The act from Tmobile is misleading and fraudulent, as the rebates are important considerations for switching over carrier. I would like Tmobile to redeem their promotion claim by sending me 4 $50 p***aid **** cards and 2 $150 ****** shop card.Customer response

And my cell phone bill is now even more than what I was paying with ******* but I was told by ***** on 10/12 that my bill was escalated and would be around $180 including all fees and insurance. Then ******** told me today 10/14 that the information ***** gave me was false.Business response

I canceled my home internet with TMobile and returned the unit in May 2024. They confirmed several times that they received the unit but it had not been "processed" for my account to be credited with the return. After numerous calls about this, TMobile used my credit card that was on file to charge me for the unit that I had returned. This was done without my authorization. I filed a dispute with my credit card company, but because TMobile refused to provide any documentation in writing, the credit card company paid the payment request from TMobile. I continually call and am promised it has been escalated, it will be taken care of, a refund requested has been made (twice), etc. and am told a different story each time. Then lately I'm being told it's the finance ***** who is denying the refund. I can't get anyone to help me with this fraudulent charge and TMobile will NOT provide any written proof - only what the representative promises me on the phone which results in nothing being done. The amount they charged my card was $347.19.Customer response

Im a current customer of ********************** cell service. Ive been with them for a few years now and Ive noticed over the years my bill keeps climbing each month and Im always having to pay 3 or 4 hundred dollars to get caught up if I fall behind. Ive done that before and got caught up just to immediately get a text or email about the next bill due for the same amount. My contract is for around 230 for three lines. How is it doubled each month? Im now stuck with the company because they are saying Im not caught up even thought I have statements about all my payments to them and the numbers just dont match. When Ive called to figure it out the agents would tell me the best thing to do is pay the 3,4,5,600 dollars to get caught up or itll be like this forever basically. This is wrong. They charge ahead of time each month and link it into your current bill making it double what its supposed to be and they suppended my service multiple times in attempts to get hundreds of dollar at once and then I have to go in myself and point out that no I only owe whats past due which say out of 600 dollars is 150. Also known as an arrangement that I set up with them. This company has found some sort of loophole to trap people in the service so they cant get out. I need any help available in shining light on this and getting some answers to help me get out of service with T-Mobile. T-Mobile is so untrustworthy. The glam is a cover up for something more sinister behind the scenes in my opinion.Business response

I made a call on 10/13/2024 and spoke with someone in the ************** call center. I was checking to see if my promotion was posted to phone number ending 7451 line correctly. It does appear that was done correctly. During the call I requested to see if I could use part of the large credit to pay off the 7290. The *** put me on hold and stated she needed to check with her manager. When she came back on the line she stated that the credit cannot be used to pay off the 7290 line. If I did, I would loose all of the future credits on the line. I asked when this changed. She stated she believed in August of this year. I have multiple credits on my line presently. Does this mean that when 7290 line is paid in full, all of the remaining credits are lost?Business response
