In January 2023 I permanently disconnected a phone line. Line ending ****. They initially turned off the main line which is my number ending in ****. Once I got this fixed they then billed for the disconnected line I got that removed from my bill. Now they have placed a charged claiming it stemmed from a order made for equipment in 2015. I never ordered any equipment never received nor activated or used this equipment. One person stated it was sent to an address I lived at 13 years ago in January 2023. Clearly I don't live there! Hoe and why would tmobile send something there and try and force me to pay it. ALL OF THIS WAS DONE THE SAME DAY OF THE DISCONNECTION OF THAT 1 LINE! I'm being penalized for no longer wanting a phone line. I've had this service 20 plus years and ALWAYS PAID FOR ANYTHING I ORDERED PHONES INCLUDED! I didn't request nor use this equipment I don't have it never had. They moved me to paperless billing without my permission and now trying to force me to pay a bill for a cell spot that I didn't have and didn't use! THEY HAVE SCAMMED A CHARGE ONTO MY ACCOUNT AND CANR DECIDE IF ITS FROM 2015 OR 2023 EITHER WAY I DIDNT DO THIS! *** HAD THIS SAME LINE OF SERVICE NEARLY 20 YEARS AND NEVER THOUGHT I COULD GET SOMETHING FREE... *** ALWAYS PAID FOR ANYTHING I ORDERED OR USED BUT THIS CELL SPOT I DIDNT!Customer Answer

On Dec 2022 we decided to trade in my parents phone due to a "GREAT DEAL" they had. Me and my sister went multiple times to the t-mobile store to ask about the deals and offers and all the times we were told the same thing so we decided to go for it. We traded a S9 and a S8 note, for each phone the trade in was supposed to be $800 so for both $1600.00.We asked the manager again if it was $800 for each phone or for both and he stated for each phone.When I look at my bill we only got $400.00 rebate for each phone a total of $800.00.My sister went back to the store and the manager said that the previous manager who helped you is no longer with the company and he did a mistake.He said at the time of the offer if you were on Magenta *** plan you would've gotten the $800 deal for each phone but since we're on Magenta plan we qualified only for $400.He advised to call the 611 and see if they can switch us to Magenta *** and honor the deal. I called the 611 and the representative told me even if I was on Magenta *** the phones I traded in qualify only for $400.They both work for t-mobile and none of them is telling the same thing.I also got the watch promo that day and they said I would pay $10/mnth for the data and they're charging me $15/mnth.He wasn't willing to help or honor what I was told. I asked to speak to a supervisor he said I would be told the same thing and I would waste my time.I either want my money back and the old phones back or they have to honor me the deal I was told in the beginning and give me another $800.00 back.The manager that helped me purchase the phones he saw my plan, he saw my trade in phones and based on that he gave me the trade in price.My parents work janitors and they don't have that kind of money to spend on phones but because of the deals they treated each other for holidays.We have been t-mobile customers for long and I would hate for this to be a deal breaker and move all my lines I have with them. Please help me on this and Thank youBusiness Response

I have paid insurance to this company since early 2018 for my cellphone. My first time filling out for an insurance claim was denied due to the fact they no longer carry my phone. So the specifics to my device is not an option. They denied my claim because of their own ignorance as a resolve I was told on a recorded line I would receive a new phone and wait 2 days to contact. After contacting they claim they have no noted about the claim being fixed or adjusted. (After speaking to customer care on ***** with the insurance company and T-Mobile) and have been forcing me to go back and forth with the cellphone insurance company (assurant) begging for my phone to be replaced although I paid for what I believed to be an insurance (for over 5 + years with no claim) with a 24 hr turn around time. I would like the $1200 plus dollars I have paid returned into the company returned to me so I can switch to a different company. And buy a new phone.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: The partial payment that was received is $37.09 on March 10th 2023. TMOBILE received the devices on March 3rd 2023 proof of delivery is attached per **** There was no other refund amount received from tmobile which I have the bank statements that prove that. Tmobile has not responded back to the dispute I have open with the bank and has not sent me no confirmation of return of my refund for the total amount of $562.18. There is still a balance of $562.18 that is still needed to be refunded. Therefore I respectfully ask that this complaint remain open until I receive the rest of the refund of $562.18.

T-Mobile is notorious for not giving you your correct final bill. I walked into T-Mobile after closing out my account asking for the final bill. I was given a final bill with the receipt closed out my T-Mobile bill. moved on to a new provider and after three months I receive on my credit a collection for $116, and this is not the first time this is happened when I left T-Mobile five years ago the exact same thing happened after asking and walking into the store closing the account paying the bill in full and told that this is your final bill they are notorious for doing the same thing and affecting your credit score. I am currently at the same address. I currently have the same email address. Nothing was sent to me to inform me that there would be an outstanding bill to give me the opportunity to pay or dispute. Straight to the creditors as a collection.Business Response

T-Mobile Account No. *********
To Whom It May Concern:
T-Mobile USA, Inc. (T-Mobile) is in receipt of your correspondence dated March 15, 2023, regarding the above-referenced account.
T-Mobile regrets any concerns ************************* experienced regarding their billing and we appreciate the opportunity to respond. Records reflect on May 7, 2019, ************************* activated service, and as of May 8, 2022, had one voice line ending in **** which subscribed to the Magenta rate plan for $75.00 per month and the Protection 360 feature for $18.00 per month.
Please be advised that ************************* was enrolled in our optional AutoPay service. AutoPay allows customers to designate a credit card account, checking account, or savings account to use for the purpose of paying monthly recurring charges associated with their T-Mobile account. This payment is automatically processed to the selected payment method approximately two to three days before the billing statement's due date. As ************************* was enrolled in AutoPay, they received a $5.00 monthly discount.
T-Mobile records confirm on September 16, 2022, ************************* elected to cancel the AutoPay service. Additionally, on the same date, the account was canceled when they ported out their mobile number to another service provider. ************************* billing cycle ran from the 7th of one month to the 8th of the following month. Pursuant to T-Mobile policy, customers are responsible for all charges through the end of their service term. Accordingly, ************************* was billed through October 7, 2022, which is reflective on the billing statement dated October 8, 2022.
The billing statement dated October 8, 2022, reflected a balance of $93.16 which included a past due balance of $89.49, and new charges for monthly recurring services from September 8, 2022, through October 7, 2022. Unfortunately, payment was not remitted for the balance due.
As the account remained unpaid, on January 13, 2023, T-Mobile referred the account to ******, a third-party collection agency for the collection of the past due balance. As stated in our Terms and Conditions, accounts that are referred to a third-party collection agency may be charged a one-time collection fee. The amount of a collection fee is determined by the amount of the past due balance. Accordingly, a one-time collection fee in the amount of $23.29 was assessed to the account and updated the balance to $116.45.
On March 15, 2023, T-Mobile contacted ************************* and apprised them of the above information. To amicably resolve ************************* concerns, we issued a onetime account credit totaling $116.45, updating the balance to zero. In addition, T-Mobile has removed the account from third-party collections and advised the collection agency to delete any negative information reported to the credit bureaus regarding this debt. ************************* should allow approximately 90 days for this information to be reflected on their credit report. T-Mobile regrets any inconvenience to **************************
Based on the foregoing, we respectfully request this complaint against T-Mobile be closed.
Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. Should you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me at ************.

To Whom It May Concern:
T-Mobile USA, Inc.(T-Mobile) is in receipt of your correspondence dated March 15, 2023,regarding the above-referenced account. T-Mobile regrets any concerns ******************************* has experienced regarding the account, and we appreciate the opportunity to address this matter with them.
T-Mobile records confirm on January 11, 2022, ******************************* activated a T-Mobile Home Internet line of service with the mobile number ending in **** on the above referenced account. The line of service was subscribed to our Home Internet rate plan for $55.00 per month.
At the time ******************************* activated the T-Mobile Home Internet line of service, a T-Mobile Home Internet Gateway device was provided to them at no cost. However, it should be noted that the Home Internet Gateway device is a ********************** owned device and must be returned to T-Mobile in good working order, with no physical or liquid damage,upon cancellation of the line of service. If the device is not received, or is received damaged, a non-return fee of up to $370.00 plus applicable taxes and fees may be assessed to the account.
Regrettably, on December 19, 2022, ******************************* cancelled the T-Mobile Home Internet line of service, resulting in the closure of their T-Mobile account. As such, a prepaid return label was provided to ******************************* via email to return the T-Mobile Home Internet Gateway device. ********************** records indicate the T-Mobile Home Internet Gateway was not received as returned, and as such, on February 2, 2022, a non-return fee in the amount of $370.00 plus applicable taxes,totaling $407.94, was assessed to the account. As a result, the billing statement dated February 11, 2022, reflects a balance owed in the amount of $461.03, which consisted of past-due service charges of $53.09, the aforementioned non-return fee of $370.00, and applicable taxes and fees of $37.94.
Upon speaking to ******************************* on March 17, 2023, we discussed the above information.******************************* advised they are aware of the past due balance and agreed to return the Home Internet Gateway to our T-Mobile corporate office within 30 days of this letter. Upon receipt of the Home Internet Gateway in acceptable,un-damaged condition, T-Mobile will apply a credit to the account in the amount of $407.94 for the Gateway non-return fee and applicable taxes. Please note, ******************************* will remain responsible for payment of the remaining past due balance of $53.09. We regret any inconvenience to ********************************
Based on the foregoing, we respectfully request this complaint against T-Mobile be closed.

On 11/11/2022, I called T-Mobile to transfer my cell phone line and iPad line from **** to T-Mobile. Then I left for ****** on 11/15 for 3 weeks using the local data plan and left for a cruise from 12/31/22 to 1/9/2023 with a purchased T-Mobile ****************** plan for one month to cover any possible usage. When I came back, I was surprised that **** continued charging me on my credit card automatically. I called ****, they told me the transfer from **** to T-Mobile in November didnt happen. I have been charged by both phone companies because T-Mobile didnt transfer the account correctly in the first place for 2 months. Yes, when I called them (T-Mobile agents) and they are not even sorry at all for their unprofessional service. Their agent was not well-trained to do the service correctly and costs innocent customers who trusted them. On Feb. 27, 2023, I received a text message regarding one-time charges. I reviewed my account, my usage, and my bill multiple times and didnt see any information about it. Then I got a text message on March 13 indicating my credit card will be charged $ ******, which included a total of $ ****** one-time charges. My monthly bill is supposed to be about $ 85. I called them this morning 3/15/23 and found out that T Mobile charged me $ 3 dollars per minute for my call to ****** instead of $ 25 cents per min per their Simple Global program (low flat-rate calling, $ 0.25/minute in 215+ countries and destinations). They said that Simple Global only applies if you call outside the U.S., but no agent ever told me about that. Thats not what I understood about their program on the website. In order to qualify to get $ .25 per minute, I have to add another $15 per month international plan. That is bait and switch, really misleading the customers. After speaking to their customer service representative, they only gave me a 20% discount on the int'l call charges on my bill.Business Response

To Whom It May Concern:
T-Mobile USA, Inc. (T-Mobile) is in receipt of your correspondence dated March 15, 2023, regarding the above-referenced account. T-Mobile is pleased to report this matter has been resolved to ****************** satisfaction.
T-Mobile regrets any concerns ****** **** may have regarding the account and we appreciate the opportunity to respond. On November 11, 2022, ****** **** activated the account and has one voice line and one mobile internet line of service. The voice line ending in **** is subscribed to the Magenta *** 55+ rate plan for $70.00 per month, which includes unlimited domestic minutes, messages, and data at up to 5G speeds depending on device and network capability.
Upon review of the mobile internet line ending in ****, T-Mobile found it is subscribed to our Unlimited ******************* rate plan for $65.00 per month, and qualifies for a $40.00 monthly internet discount. The account is subscribed to ********* on ** for $4.99 and ******* Basic (1-Screen) for $9.99 per month; however, the account receives a monthly discount which offsets both of these charges in full.
We further confirmed ****** **** elected to enroll in AutoPay and is eligible to receive a $5.00 monthly credit per line of service. This is a free feature that automatically deducts the balance owed on the account approximately two to three days prior to the bill due date using a stored credit card, debit card, or checking account supplied by the customer.
Please be advised the Magenta *** 55+ rate plan includes Simple Global. Simple Global gives discounted calling and free unlimited text and data when customers travel to a Simple Global country. Customers may find more information regarding Simple Global at www.t-mobile.com/coverage/roaming. It should be noted that Simple Global does not discount long-distance calls from the **** to ******, which are billed at a rate of $3.00 per minute. Instead, if customers are visiting ******, the Simple Global feature provides up to 5GB high-speed on us, then up to 256Kbps of data, unlimited text, and a $0.25 per minute rate when they are travelling abroad in ******. We regret if there was misunderstanding regarding this feature.
On December 16, 2022, ****** **** added the 15GB 30-day International Roaming Pass feature to voice line ending in ****, for $50.00 per line of service, plus taxes. The 15GB 30-day Pass feature is compatible with Simple Global countries and includes 15GBs of high-speed data while roaming in those countries. T-Mobile records indicate on January 19, 2023, ****************** 15GB 30-day International Roaming Pass feature expired.
On February 25, 2023, ****** **** received a warning text notification for voice line ending in **** regarding $207.00 in unbilled international call charges. ************* provided troubleshooting and advised ****** **** that stateside international calls to ****** are not inclusive in the Simple Global feature and billed at a rate of $3.00 per minute. ************* provided ****** **** with details regarding our North ******************************* Talk with Mobile feature for $15.00 per month, which includes unlimited or discounted calling from the **** to landline and mobile numbers located outside *****************. ****** **** may find a list of costs and included countries at **************************************************************************; Please be advised Stateside rates apply regardless of if calls are made over cellular or Wi-Fi. ****** **** subscribed to the feature for $15.00 per month.
The billing statement dated March 12, 2023, reflects a total balance due in the amount of $360.22, which is due by April 4, 2023, and is for services from February 12, 2023, through March 11, 2023. This balance is for new charges and consists of monthly recurring charges, in addition to charges totaling $207.00 for calls to ******, as well as $40.70 applicable taxes and fees.
On March 15, 2023, ****** **** contacted our ************* team to inquire about the charges on the March 12, 2023 bill statement. At time it was confirmed the charges were valid. Nevertheless, ************* applied a $55.00 account credit, updating the balance due to $305.22.
On March 17, 2023, our office spoke with ****** **** and provided the above information. ****** **** further expressed upon reviewing a list of costs and included countries included in the Simple Global feature it was their understanding, calls to ****** would bill at a rate of $0.25 per minute. T-Mobile clarified the Simple Global feature benefits at that time. ****************** monthly bill estimate is $100.00 per month, before applicable usage charges, taxes and fees.
Furthermore, in an effort to amicably resolve this matter, a credit of $247.70 was applied to the account, leaving an outstanding balance of $57.52 due by April 4, 2023. ****** **** accepted this as a resolution. T-Mobile regrets any inconvenience to ****** ****.
Based on the foregoing, we respectfully request this complaint against T-Mobile be closed.
