I signed up a few months ago for a flex account with T-mobile and decided today to cancel the non-contract account because i would not need a cell phone for the next few months.
T-mobile charges bills a month ahead and i was billed for the time between the 29th of may and the 29th of june on the 25th of may.
I called them on the 7th of June to cancel my account and was told that i would not get the pro-rated time between the 7th and the end of the month i already paid, talked to supervisor and was told the system would not allow any refund.
I was obviously upset of having my money being taken for a service i didn't need anymore.
They canceled my line right away, which i didn't want since i was told i already paid and would work until the end of the month and since nothing could be done, might as well keep the line i already paid until the end of june.
Realizing the mistake i called right after and ask to re-activate the line and was told by an agent that he could do that but would be charge automatically for another month of service.
Simply unbelievable, T-Mobile has basically put in place a system to maximize profits on people canceling lines, even on non contract ones.
I am married and have three kids and they have lost thousands of dollars from me in the long run over 25 dollars they could have refunded for a pro-rated date.
