T-mobile
Ripoff, liars cheats!

Here is just ONE of MANY letters, email and phone calls I have placed to T-mobile - this explains what happened -

A couple years ago I called Voice Stream to cancel my
plan because there were much better deals being
offered at other cellular companies. The service rep
I spoke to offered me additional minutes to stay with
you - 1500 minutes a month with the same costs. That
is the ONLY REASON I changed my mind and did NOT
cancel my service to go with another company that was
offering a great plan.

Now I get a $200 bill and look at the details and I
see I am only being given 600 minutes. I called and
talked to a customer service rep who checked my
history and found a record of my claim, but whoever
handled it did NOT put in the fact that they upped my
minutes to 1500.

I stayed with your company because of that promise.

I have been deceived by your company and I will file a
complaint unless this is corrected immediately. I am
supposed to be getting 1500 minutes on my current pay
plan and that was to go into effect two years ago.

I want my bill corrected to reflect this.

I called last week and talked to SEVERAL people about this and a supervisor was supposed to call me back and has not!

Respond immediately!
...

After more email, etc, I get a response that says I was upgraded to 1000 minutes, not 1500. Fine. I knew it was at LEAST 1000. Here it is -

Dear Stephanie,

Thank you for taking the time to contact T-Mobile.

Upon review of your account we show that you were put on the 39.99 plan with

OK, fine. But then they didn't change my bill! More calls, email etc, then I went into a T-mobile store and spoke to the manager. I had print outs of all the email and walked him through it. I said I wanted it resolved and then to close my account because I have never been so mistreated and received such horrible service from anyone I do business with. He was very nice, said he would fix my bill, and won me back. I even upgraded my plan to a family plan and bought two cam phones. (Buy one get one free). Then I get another bill and guess what? Nothing was changed. I checked my on line status, and NO change, I am still being billed as though I had 600 minutes. The web account says it's due Oct 11 but I am getting text messages from them saying I am past due! So, I write MORE email and forward the one above that states that I DO have 1000 minutes. I also called Steve, the local manager, and left him a message. He's on vacation this week. Tonight I got this -

Now I am even MORE upset! So I was lied to again when the local office said they cleared it up? And the ONLY reason I signed a new contract and upgraded my plan was BECAUSE the local manager nicely took care of my problem.

Basically T-mobile is calling me a liar. I have been a customer in good standing for many years. They are the liars.
