Metro allowed a transfer of my sim number to a different cell phone without my authorization and without requesting adequate information from whoever transferred my sim to a new phone, which led to my bank account getting hackled (Through SMS verification) and then with multiple charges to my savings account and that is now going to take a while to get resolved from the bank. When contacting Metro to see if whoever changed the sim provided adequate information they simply just stated that whoever did this knew the 8 digit pin and that there was nothing that they can do and never answered my question. I also contacted the porting team and they also insisted that the hacker who took my sim number knew the 8 digit pin, but no one knows so it does not make sense that someone knows that pin other then myself. I believe that there was some negligence that ultimately led to the charges on my account. All the events took place on May 29th 2025.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: What T-Mobile responded was with that they are just saying sorry for the matter, I do understand being sorry but that is not going to fix the thousands that was stolen from my back account and the time I personally had to spend to fix this issue because someone at T-Mobile did not verify that it was not the account owner doing a sim swap. This is incredibly frustrating as it feels like T-Mobile is saying there is nothing they can do. Again as I stated in the first complaint it feels like T-Mobile was not responsible enough to make sure that whoever is sim swapping has the authority to do so, and I feel like T-Mobile neglected the verification step which led to my bank account getting hacked (SMS verification) and causing emotional distress. I would really like to know how this happened and if there is some sort of phone call log or chat log that can be provided at the time of the sim swap. At the time of this message I still have not recovered all of the money that was lost from my account. I feel like I need some sort of compensation for the amount of damage that was done.
Sincerely,

I am rejecting this response because It seems as if T-Mobile is just trying to say that there is nothing that they can do. A lot of money was taken from my bank accounts from this sim swap and Its because of ******** authorized it without my consent. I would like to see some sort of chat logs or messaging logs that took place when the sim swap took place, because it seems as if T-Mobile negligence is the reason why my money was taken through again the sim swap and I want to know if they just authorized just anyone to switch the **** without verifying it was me the account order. (I still did not receive a full refund from the bank yet). T-Mobile is responsible for the emotional distress I am going through because of the sheer amount of money that was taken.

4/25/25, visited a Metro store for a "free phone" promo ad on my Metro app. The offer explicitly stated a Galaxy A16 for $0, with a 2nd ad offering the same for adding an extra line. Upon arrival, was told promo is for new customers, directly contradicting the ad presented in my existing cust. ****. Inquired about alternative options, he steered me to a Moto G 5G, claiming superiority to the ads' $0 phone. Phone proved faulty, apps consistently crashing. Despite explaining need to keep business #, was told this was impossible with an "upgrade" unless I ported my # from another carrier as a new cust. This contradicts concept of an"upgrade." Was then charged $232.99 for the Moto G 5G, valued at $150, was forced into adding a line, paying full $ instead of receiving an upgrade. Never received a receipt for this purchase, employee claimed was on my account & was not. Discovering device malfunction, contacted cust. service. They confirmed elgibility for the free promo phone & agreed I had been scammed by employees. 4/30/25, per cust. service instruction, returned to the store with a cust. service *** on the phone to attempt a return. Manager refused to accept return stating ,"no returns for upgrades," spoke over & down to the cust. service *** who was attempting to clarify my eligibility and the deceptive nature of the transaction. Manager would not allow the cust. service *** to explain why decision was untrue. Feeling frustrated I left the store. ****. service subsequently arranged for a new, free phone to be sent to me, only requiring an activation fee. Upon receiving the new phone, was again instructed by cust. service to revisit the store on 4/30/25 to return faulty phone for refund. Once more, store employee denied the refund, persisting in telling cust. service *** they were wrong. Due to ***eated deceptive practices & the lack of resolution from store, I seek a full refund for the faulty Moto G 5G phone & the associated charges incurred under false pretenses.Business Response

T-Mobile USA, Inc. (T-Mobile) is in receipt of your correspondence dated May 30, 2025, regarding the account referenced in the above-mentioned file number. Please be advised we have made attempts to contact our customer, which have proven unsuccessful.
T-Mobile regrets any concerns our customer has regarding the account, and we appreciate the opportunity to respond. In reviewing this matter, the customers concerns are pertaining to a watch line which remained active.
T-Mobile has reviewed the account and confirmed the customer transferred to another service provider on May 6, 2025. The arrangement to transfer the line of service was made directly with the customers new wireless service provider and not with T-Mobile whose only involvement in this transaction was to cancel the line of service after the new wireless service provider took control of it. In reviewing our records, T-Mobile first received a request to cancel the remaining line of service on our customers account on May 30, 2025, when our customer contacted T-Mobile. As we have no record of our customer contacting us to cancel prior to May 2025, it is our position they were charged correctly.
Although we were unable to contact the customer we provided them with our contact information via email should they have any additional questions regarding this matter.
Based on the foregoing, we respectfully request this complaint against T-Mobile be closed.

On may ****** I called metro customer service complaining about them charging me twice and wanting a refund. During that conversation I asked why they send a text saying they will take out my payment on one day and then pull it out a couple of days later. Went to the metro store in ******* and the gentlemen there explained that I can lower my bill by 30 dollars . OK great let's do that. In may I got a text saying they were going to pull my automatic payment put on the 27th didn't pull until the 30th. Checked my upcoming bill for June 30th and my bill was up 30 dollars to 180. Called customer service. **************** gentle ***** said oh you add features earlier this month which I didn't. He removed them say that my new ******** 177 which makes no since. Said I changed due date from the 30 to the first and now moved it back so there is a charge. Spoke to supervisor who said I changed my due date when I signed up for automatic payment on the app. Which I did not he then said I changed is may 1 with a agent which I did not. I told them that doesn't make any sense who going to change it the due for one day. He said the notes showed I changed it. Asked him to listen to the recording from may first that I never asked to have my fue date changed he refused say he read the notes. What's the point of recording the calls if you are not willing to listen to the recording. Anyways I would like my bill to reflect original due date and not have the fee that there charing to have my original due date when I never asked for the change in the first place.Business Response

Please be advised, our Metro by T-Mobile stores are independently owned and operated, and Metro by T-Mobile is solely the service provider. As such we are unable to view any transactions done in store. Furthermore,what may have occurred at the authorized retail store cannot be substantiated.
Upon review, our customer activated their account in April 2019, and their monthly service cycle ran from the 1st of one month through the 30th or 31st of the following month, with a due date on the 30th or 31st.
Please be advised that AutoPay 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. Customers continue to receive notifications that reflect the balance due as well as a notation that the account is on ********Our customer elected to enroll in AutoPay in March 2024.
Please be advised that ******** offers customers free self-help options to make changes to their accounts such as the ************************ app and their Metro by T-Mobile online account. As such, when certain changes such as the monthly service cycle, among others, are performed with a Metro by T-Mobile representative, customers are subject to a fee. It is important to note that these fees are considered valid and must be paid at the time of making the change to their account. Furthermore, if mid-cycle changes that are made to an account, an immediate charge is applied to the account and an immediate payment is needed to prevent account suspension.
Our records show on May 1, 2025, our customer updated their AutoPay payment method. On the same date, their monthly service cycle was updated to run from the 3rd of one month through the 2nd of the following month, with a due date on the 2nd. Due to multiple changes, the account incurred prorated charges, and two payments were remitted to our customers account. One of the payments was confirmed as refunded to the customer.
On May 3, ******** customer contacted our ************* team to update their due date. As such, their monthly service cycle now runs from the 30th of one month through the 29th of the following month, with a due date on the 29th.
On June 2, 2025, we contacted our customer and provided the above information. We offered to update their monthly service cycle at no cost, in which the customer declined.
Based on the foregoing, we respectfully request that this complaint against T-Mobile be closed.

I am rejecting this response because: I never authorized changes to my due date your employees changed it at their own accord. Every call ice made to customers service has been recorded but your company is unable to view their recordingsSo why state calls will be recorded, makes no sense. So now I'm stuck paying a 20 dollar difference due to the action of your employees. I know now I should have my own recording on my phone everything I call so if this issue ever arise again. I submit the prove that your employees are not in fact helping a customer but causing undue finical burden on their bill that should have never been placed in the first place. After 18 years with your company I expected better from the company. Because while yes your stores are individually owned your customer service is part of your business and individually ****** they are employee of your company.

I am rejecting this response because: I wasn't helped whatsoever with the lady that is responding. She is ignoring the facts that I paid for service and I don't have the Internet box from Metro PCs in order to use the service. So my money just gets wasted? I went to the Metro PCs so again yesterday and I will have to pay money again for another box and possibly at full retail price. What happened to my money? I paid for services and the device they s not was defective so I sent it back. So what happens to the service I paid for? Because I don't have the device from ********************** PCs to use it.

I signed up for a no-contract, month-to-month phone plan with Metro by T-Mobile in March 2025 using my own fully paid and unlocked iPhone 16 Pro Max. At the time of activation, I also purchased the device insurance plan offered through Metro.About a month later, my phone was stolen. After filing a claim and paying a $200 deductible, I received a replacement device from the insurance company. I was clearly told the replacement would be unlocked, just like my original phone.However, the replacement arrived locked to Metro by T-Mobile, making it impossible for me to use it with my Mexican SIM card, which I rely on. I contacted Metro multiple times to request the unlock, explaining that the phone:Was a replacement for a fully paid and unlocked device.Was not financed.Was not under any contract.Has no outstanding balance or obligations.Despite meeting the criteria for device unlock, ********************** has consistently refused my request without providing a formal explanation in writing, which I believe is unreasonable and lacks transparency.Desired Resolution:I respectfully request that Metro by T-Mobile unlock the replacement device, as I meet all eligibility requirements and was assured it would be unlocked. I also ask that Metro issue a formal response explaining the refusal, if they continue to deny the request.Sincerely,***** GonzalezPhone associated with the account: ************Business Response

T-Mobile is in receipt of your correspondence dated May 29, 2025, regarding the account referenced in the above-mentioned file number.
T-Mobile regrets our customers concerns with our Mobile Device Unlock (MDU) policy,
and we appreciate the opportunity to respond. MDUs are available for devices that meet the
following eligibility criteria, which are available at ***********************************************************************************************; and include:
The device must be purchased from Metro by T-Mobile.
The device must not be reported as lost, stolen, or blocked.
365 days must have passed since the devices activation date.
Please be advised that for warranty exchange handsets, the beginning of the 365-day period is
based on the original handsets activation date, not the activation date of the warranty exchange
handset. The above requirements apply to handsets purchased after May 1, 2024.
Please note that unlocked handsets can only use networks of the same type. For example, an
unlocked GSM-only handset will only work with another carriers compatible GSM network. It
will not work with another carriers CDMA network. As such, Metro by T-Mobile is unable to
guarantee an unlocked handset will be fully compatible with all competing carriers services and
features.
Upon review, we confirmed the Metro account referenced above was activated on September 7, 2024. The number ending in 4401 was activated on March 8, 2025. We confirm that a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max was activated with the ******************** Equipment Identifier (IMEI) ending in 1123. This device had an insurance claim filed and was replaced and later activated on April 6, 2025.
However, upon further review, our office confirmed that Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max is already unlocked. If further assistance is needed, we recommend completing the below steps:
The device must be on WIFI, and from the Home screen, click on Settings, then navigate to Connections and select More Connection Settings. Next, choose Network Unlock. More information can be found at ***********************************************************************************************;

Dear BBB Resolutions Specialist,
Thank you for forwarding the businesss response. However, I must respectfully state that the issue has not been resolved.
Although Metro by T-Mobile claims that the replacement iPhone 16 Pro Max I received is already unlocked, this is not accurate. I have followed all the instructions they provided, including connecting to WiFi, checking the unlock status through Settings, and reviewing Apples official guidance. Despite these steps, my phone still remains locked to the Metro by T-Mobile network.
Furthermore, I contacted T-Mobile customer service again after receiving the letter, and they acknowledged the issue by opening a case file for further review. The case number is INC1904608, and I was told someone would follow up within 7 days. If I dont receive a call, I was instructed to call them back myself, which shows the matter is still pending and unresolved.
I have also taken a photo of the lock screen that clearly shows the phone is still carrier-locked, along with the visible IMEI number that matches the device in question. I am willing to submit this image as evidence upon request.
At this time, I cannot consider this case resolved, and I request that it remain open until the phone is truly unlocked, or Metro by T-Mobile provides a formal explanation in writing as to why they are refusing to unlock the replacement phone.
Thank you for your time and support in helping resolve this matter.

On the April 27th I received a text from Metro by t-mobile with 6 digit code to unlock my account. I never requested the pin. I called them and changed my eight digit pin a precaution so no one of my five lines will be able to make a change to my account. I told the agent I'm going to make some changes to my lines, but I will call later. On May 24th I received a text that I owe $78 which less than my usual bill of $130. I called and asked what's going on? Agent **** told me one of you lines made a change and created their on account and you are left with 4 lines. I said no body knows my eight digit pin to make such change, he told me AGENT #******** gave your pin to the caller, which should have never happened per **** who works there for 5 years. I asked to speak to a supervisor #****** who did want to acknowledge that a breach has happened and if someone can not provide the eight digit pin, you can not give it.

Metro by T-Mobile is a brand operated under ***************** (T-Mobile). As such, T-Mobile provides a response on behalf of Metro by T-Mobile. T-Mobile and Metro by T-Mobile may sometimes be referred to herein, collectively, as T-Mobile. T-Mobile is in receipt of your correspondence dated May 29, 2025, regarding the account referenced in the above-mentioned file number.
Metro by T-Mobile regrets our customers concern with their account and we appreciate the opportunity to respond. It appears our customers concerns are regarding the account PIN change and a number being moved off the account.
Our customer activated their account on November 29, 2012. T-Mobiles account verification policy states that if an account has a PIN/passcode, it is the first piece of information that is requested by ************* to gain access to the account. If a customer does not remember their PIN/passcode, they can change their PIN/passcode by receiving and verifying a one-time PIN that is sent to their T-Mobile handset. Some customers may also have a security question that they set up and we can ask for the security question answer. Regrettably,our customer states their end user on a different number on their account was able to change the account PIN by receiving the one-time PIN to gain access to the account. Please note both a Metro end user and the billing responsible Party can change the account PIN, but they each have specific permissions. The primary way for the Metro end users (self-service customers) to change the account PIN is through using the ********************** App or Metro by T-Mobile website on their mobile device while connected to T-Mobile's network (with Wi-Fi turned off). The account must be verified, meaning the user needs to be the Primary Account Holder (PAH) or authorized user with the relevant permissions to receive the one-time PIN.
After a thorough review, T-Mobile confirmed that our customers account PIN was changed on April 27, 2025. It should be noted that as the account held five lines and since each line can call into ************* and answer any account security questions and validate the address on the account as well as receiving the one-time PIN to their number.
Also on April 27, 2025, our customer contacted ************* stating that they would be canceling the line ending in 5838 at a later time. Later that same day the number ending in 5838 was moved off the account to their own account, leaving only four lines.
On May 27, 2025, the account balance due was $78.00 was the number ending in 5838 moved off the account during the middle of the service cycle rerating the service charges.
Our office contacted our customer on June 4, 2025, and explained the aforementioned. Furthermore,it was advised that their new balance moving forward for all four lines would be $104.00 per month rather than the previous amount of $130.00. Furthermore, it should be noted that any if the lines wish to call ************* and reset the account password they can if they are able to validate the account name, address and security questions. Should our customer have any other questions they can contact ************* directly to update their account password or PIN. We regret any frustration this may have caused our customer.
Based on the foregoing, we respectfully request this complaint against T-Mobile be closed.
Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact ************* directly at **************** or 611 from your handsets during the hours of 6am 2am CST.

BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.
As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
