      Apparently you have to be a certain demographic to get assistance. I have been working on this for months and cant get anyone to help with Metro PCS. I have attempted several times to get the acp credit applied on my account and they keep telling me to call you all. Every time I have called you all, you tell me to call them and I am so sick of the run around. In the last two months, I have spent a combined 31 hours on the phone trying to take care of this. Now if I gotta be in a certain race or demographic just say that and not continue to waste my time. They claim that I must dont have the info the same and every other lie they can find here is screenshots that everything is the same and yall keep lying about it. Please contact me at ************************** You cant reach me by phone because I refuse to pay for service and I am entitled to a discount.

      To Whom It May Concern:

      Metro by T-Mobile is a brand operated under T-Mobile USA, Inc.

      ******** regrets any concerns ********************** may have experienced regarding the Affordable Connectivity Program (***) discount, and we appreciate the opportunity to respond.  Our records reflect that ********************** activated the above-referenced account on May 7, 2022, and currently has one voice line of service subscribed to our $50 Unlimited LTE + ****** One rate plan.

      Please be advised the *** is a program that replaced the Emergency Broadband Benefit (EBB) program to help low-income households pay for internet service and connected devices.  Eligible end users may apply for the *** via the FCCs National Verifier site https://acpbenefit.org.  After submission, customers must wait for approval from the National Verifier, and once received, customers are required to meet specific criteria, such as being on an eligible rate plan and completing the ******** online application enrollment to redeem their *** at https://www.metrobytmobile.com/affordable-connectivity-program.

      Upon our review,we determined that Ms. ********** address listed with the National Verifier does not match exactly with the address on her Metro by T-Mobile account as required.  If the error is with her address with the National Verifier, it is necessary that she contact the *** Support Center at ************** for assistance.  If the error is with Ms. ********** Metro by T-Mobile account address, we will gladly update it for her. 

      During our discussion with ********************** on October 17, 2022, we provided her with the information outlined above.  Upon speaking to *********************, we were able to confirm that the mismatched address is with the National Verifier.  As a result, it is necessary ********************** contact them at the number referenced above so that her address can be updated.  Additionally, as a one-time courtesy, we applied a $30.00 credit to Ms. ********** account.  ******** regrets any inconvenience to **********************, and we appreciate her feedback regarding her experience.

      Based on the foregoing, we respectfully request that this complaint against ******** be closed.

      I opened a new cell phone account with ********* During the calls to ******** they offered me a 'special' promotion where I would get 4 cell phone lines under their Magenta 55+ plan for $125/month plus two free ******* S20 phones. I confirmed the details of the offer at least 2 times during the call and both times they acknowledged the rate and the free phones.Now 2 months later they are claiming that the $125/month plan does not qualify for the free phones and they have me on a plan that costs $180/month and in phone conversation they refuse to honor the original agreement.Requesting a refund of the difference for the 2 billing cycles I have already been charged ($55 x 2 = $110) and that they honor the original agreement to provide me 4 phone lines under their Magenta 55+ plan for the $125/month rate.

      To Whom It May Concern:
       
      T-Mobile USA, Inc. (********) is in receipt of your correspondence dated October 10, 2022, regarding the above-referenced account.   

      ******** regrets any concern ********************** may have regarding the account. ******** records indicate that on August 16, 2022, ********************** activated the account and has four mobile numbers ending in ****, **** **** and ****. The account was subscribed to the Magenta *** 55+ rate plan for $100.00 a month for the first two lines and each additional line at $50.00 a month. The account was enrolled in AutoPay and as such, each line receives a $5.00 monthly discount. Therefore, Mr. ********** monthly charges anticipated to be $180.00. ******** records do not indicate ********************** was offered a monthly cost of $125.00. We regret if there was a misunderstanding with *********************** 

      In addition, on August 16, 2022, ********************** purchased two ******* Galaxy S22 devices with our Equipment Installment Plan (EIP) program. A down payment was not required; however, ********************** agreed to a series of 24 monthly installments of $33.34 for each device. It should be noted, the account qualified for the 2022 ******* Activate P8: Get a ******* Galaxy S22 free with New Line activation on Magenta *** promotion and as such, each ******* Galaxy S22 device qualified for monthly credits of $33.34, making them free. 

      On October 10, 2022, ********************** contacted ******** to go over the account billing as he wanted to change the rate plan. At this time, ********************** was advised, to keep the 2022 ******* Activate P8: Get a ******* Galaxy S22 free with New Line activation on Magenta *** promotion, the account must remain on the Magenta *** 55+ rate plan. Also, ******** confirmed Mr. ********** account is being billed accurately. 

      Furthermore, upon speaking with ********************** on October 17, 2022, ******** apprised the above information. Thus, ******** respectfully declined his request of being refunded the amount of $110.00. However, to help ********************** reduce his monthly charges, we offered the ******** Essentials 2-line rate plan, for $90.00 plus applicable taxes, a month, after the AutoPay discount, for the first two lines and each additional line at $15.00 a month, after the AutoPay discount. This plan started on October 17, 2022. In addition, we approved the account for the 2022 Line On Us P2 promotion, which provides the third line free and approved that the 2022 ******* Activate P8: Get a ******* Galaxy S22 free with New Line activation on Magenta *** promotion remains on the account. With that said, going forward, Mr. ********** monthly charges estimate to be around $105.00 plus applicable taxes. ******** regrets any inconvenience to ***********************    

      Based on the foregoing, we respectfully request this complaint against ******** be closed.

      Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. Should you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me at ************.

      I am rejecting this response because: This issue is still not resolved so please re-open the case . I talked 2x to a ******** rep who claimed they were going to change my plan to cost $105/month.

      They show a credit for this month to get to that amount, but they still show me on a plan that costs $180/month.

      They also have NOT credited me for the overcharge for the first 2 months.

      I am rejecting this response because: Summary of events is incorrect. I NEVER accepted the plan for $100/** for 2 lines and $50/** for each of the 2 additional lines. The ONLY plan that was offered to me and I accepted was to be on the Magenta + plan for ~$120/mo for all 4 lines. Then ******** changed the rate to $180/mo without consulting me. They are trying to hid the fact that they are using a bait-and-switch scheme to attract new customer.

      Magenta family plan - My parents were going on a cruise to ****** from 8/28/22 - 9/4/22. Due to covid, I sought wifi coverage for any emergencies. On 8/27/22, I called Tmobile, Lizel to inquire about wifi coverage on a cruise. I gave her the dates/locations of travel, cruise company and name of ship. ***** represented that international roaming package would cover wifi coverage on the cruise at $35/line. I confirmed with her multiple times and requested a guarantee. ***** sent her personal guarantee later that day. Per her instructions, I bought 2 international roaming packages for my parents phone lines. On 8/30/22, I received text messages of unusually high charges. I immediately called Tmobile and spoke with **** re the error. **** informed me that international roaming does NOT cover cruises contrary to *****'s representations. I asked to speak with a supervisor. **** indicated he was not available and indicated a supervisor would call me. I called back twice on the same day to speak to a supervisor, but was unable to connect to one. I never connnected with a supervisor thereafter.I immediately contacted my parents and informed them to put their phone on airplane mode and attempt to buy wifi package through the cruise. However, as the cruise already was in en route, buying a wifi package at that point was prohibitively expensive.On 8/30/22, at approximately 7pm, I chatted with Tmobile rep ****** and asked that international roaming packages be cancelled and reimburse our account for the erroneous charges of up to $300. She cancelled international roaming, but unable to credit our account for the erroneous charges, including the $78 for the international roaming packages. My parents were left without wifi connection due to Tmobile false representation, charged up to $300 in erroneous charges. I'm seeking reimbursement of the erroneous charges, a $200 credit for time spent and better training of Tmobile representatives.

      ******** regrets any inconvenience ************ may have experienced and we appreciate the opportunity to address her concerns.  Please note most calls made or received while the handset is roaming on a cruise ship are billed at a rate of $5.99 per minute and sending texts is billed at $0.50 each, including when the ship is at dock in U.S. waters.  Receiving texts incurs no charge and these are deducted from the domestic text allotment.  Customers may visit https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/international-roaming-plans/cruises to enter the cruise or ferry name and determine the exact cost for on-cruise usage.

      Our records confirm that on August 27, 2022, ************ added our 5GB 10-*** international roaming pass for $35.00 for the lines ending in **** and **** via my********.com.  This feature provides unlimited calling to select countries, as well as 5GB of high-speed international roaming data.  Customer may visit https://www.t-mobile.com/support/coverage/international-roaming-checklist for additional information regarding roaming.  It should be noted that international data passes do not cover roaming while on a cruise ship.  

      ******** has reviewed Mr. ***** account regarding the disputed international voice roaming charges for mobile numbers ending in **** and ****.  Our records confirm the charges in dispute are for international roaming calls made while on a cruise ship.  The total one-time charges assessed for international roaming are $212.33 including applicable taxes.

      On August 30, 2022, ************ contacted our Team of Experts to discuss the additional charges.  At that time, ************ was advised the international pass did not include on-cruise usage.  ************ requested the international pass be removed from both lines effective August 30, 2022.    

      Upon speaking with ************ on October 11, 2022, we confirmed the information referenced above.  It is ********s position that the international roaming charges are valid.  Nevertheless, to amicably resolve Ms. ***** concerns, ******** issued a one-time credit of $290.33 to the account for the disputed charges and for both international passes including applicable taxes.  ************ accepted this credit as a resolution to her concerns and the account was updated to reflect a $290.33 credit balance, which will be applied towards future billed charges.  ******** regrets any inconvenience to *************

      Based on the foregoing, we respectfully request this complaint against ******** be closed.

      Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.  Should you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me at ************.

      This issue started around September 10, 2022, I went to this location to upgrade my device, when i entered the store, the employee just looked irritated that I was there, when I asked to upgrade my phone to a 5g device the rep would only show me one device as my old phone was not working and I was pressed for time do to an appointment i agreed to by the *** device assuring me several times it was 5g and then stated that if i did not see the symbol at first don't worry as some towers were down due to weather and if it did not show to return to any metro store and they could help me well I went to a location closer to my home was informed there was nothing they could do. I ended up adding two lines to my account purchased 4 phones plus activation and taxes told by 3 separate employees two at a corporate store one at the location where I was having issues was told by one customer service agent in the fraud department to go back to the location call back and I would be able to get all three fixed with the fees and taxes waved when i got to the store they refused to do anything and the district manager refused help as well. I had to switch phone companies after 15 years.

      I am rejecting this response because: The information that I was given in store not only when I upgraded my initial phone until the fourth phone in a three week period. I wad also told by an agent in the fraud department say my fee and the cost of the phones would be waived.  Then there is the fact that not 1 but 3 employees told me I had been a victim of fraud and the agent that did it was fired. So I reject the offer

      Metro PC has been advertising that they included a hotspot for all 4 of my phone lines along with my phone service for the 5 years that I have been a customer of theirs. I have a photo of their advertisement. I have contacted their customer service at least 4 times over the years to get help accessing the hotspot, and the representatives were unsuccessful in connecting us to our hotspots, and we came to the conclusion that we didn't have enough service in the areas we were trying to use. Every rep looked at my account and verified that all 4 phone lines were paid for to access the hotspots. Last month, I called again, only to find that the advertisement was a lie! Even the rep I spoke with agreed that it was false advertisement, and followed up with a text stating that to me, and letting me know that I actually did not have access to hotspots even though my home screen on their website explicitly told me that hotspots were included in my plan. I tried to follow up again, and talked to another rep that agreed that the advertising was not true, but she was not able to help me further. Metro PC has been taking people's money for at least 5 years and not giving the hotspots that they promised. The only option that the reps gave me now was for me to pay more each month to get the real hotspots.

      Metro by T-Mobile regrets Ms. *********** account billing and rate plan concerns.  We appreciate the opportunity to respond.  To being with, Ms. *********** account was activated on February 25, 2017. 

      Upon our initial review of her account, we confirmed there have been many service plan changes.  Please note, the 4x$120.00 Unlimited LTE with 15GB Hotspot plan is the only one that included the Hotspot feature.  This plan was active on **************************** account from September 6, 2020, to April 27, 2021.  On April 27, 2021, ************************ requested that her rate plan be updated to the 4 for $100.00 Unlimited Promo Plan,which includes unlimited minutes, unlimited messages, and unlimited highspeed data at up to 5G speeds depending on device capability.  However, the plan does not include Hotspot services.  We confirmed ************************ is being billed correctly for the provided services.

      Upon our review of Ms. *********** online account, we confirmed that it incorrectly reflects that her current rate plan includes the Hotspot feature.  We regret any misunderstanding regarding the features included in her current rate plan.  To address the incorrect information reflected online, we have submitted a ticket to our web team to update our web page.  We also offered to update Ms. *********** rate plan to include the Hotspot feature with an increased monthly charge;however, ************************ declined our offer.  As a gesture of goodwill, we applied a one-month account service credit of $110.00.  The account currently reflects a zero balance.     

       Based on the foregoing, we respectfully request that this complaint against ******** be closed.

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me. I am very concerned, though, of Metro PC's deceptive business practices. I assume that this company was able to gain many customers because of this false advertising. Because I talked to customer service so many times and nothing was ever corrected until I contacted the Better Business Bureau, I am skeptical that this company wants to deal with their customers in an honest manner. Because of this, I will be changing phone providers. I truly hope that the company will stop using deceptive advertising practices.

      I'm called ******** 10/5/2022 at 8:54pm to process a phone upgrade with a $999.99 promotion that included me to change my plan to a more expensive plan. The process on the ******** app was not working so I called and I spoke with a respresentative for an hour processing the phone order to the iPhone 14 pro. I had to give this representative authorization by him seeing me two personal pins to my phone to continue the process. We ended the call with me believing the phone order had been processed as the promotion was ending the following day. I was informed that I didn't have to pay anything up front and would see a higher bill on the next cycle due to the taxes for the new phone and to just send the old one (iPhone 12Pro) back when I received the new phone (iPhone 14 pro). The called ended with the rep telling me I should receive an email shortly after the call ended. I never received any email in regards to the tracking or proof of change to my account. I called ******** today at 10:00am to find out that there was never any order processed and that the promotion ended and that the rep left no notation in n the account at all about my phone order . I would like my phone order to be processed with the same promotion I was eligible for and switched my plan to to accommodate the promotion. ******** had records of all calls that can prove the conversation took place on the night of 10/5/2022. I would like the rep to be held accountable for the false statements made and to just process my order at the promotional rate i was eligible for .

      T-Mobile USA, Inc. (********) is in receipt of your correspondence dated October 7, 2022, regarding the above-referenced account.  We are pleased to inform you that, after speaking with ******************, we have resolved his concerns to his satisfaction.

      ******** regrets any concerns ****************** experienced regarding his Apple iPhone 14 Pro offer and order request.  ******** records reflect that on September 19, 2022, ****************** changed his rate plan to our Magenta *** rate plan in order to take advantage of a current promotional device offering, 2022 Apple Trade P32: Get Apple iPhone 14 Pro on ** with trade-in on ***.

      On October 5, 2022, ****************** called our Team of Experts (TEX) requesting a status on his order and at this time, he was advised at that time, there was no record of the order being placed and that the handset was unfortunately unavailable as it was on backorder.

Accordingly, ****************** was asked to remit a down payment in the amount of $249.99 and agree to a series of ************************** the amount of $31.25. Our records reflect that ****************** initiated a trade-in for an Apple iPhone 12 Pro 128GB Gold handset and accepted a trade-in offer of $360.00.  However, as the order was not processed until after the noted 2022 Apple Trade P32 promotion had expired, he was not eligible for the ****

      Nevertheless,to amicably resolve these concerns, our TEX agreed to provide the remaining amount of the promotion, totaling $640.00, to the applicable EIP via 24 RDC of $26.67. Please note that it may take up to two billing cycles for the promotion to begin after purchase.

      Our office spoke with ****************** on October 14, 2022, and apprised him of our findings outlined above.   Pursuant to our conversation, ****************** considers the matter resolved and has no further concerns.  Should ****************** have any further concerns regarding this matter, he may contact our office at the number below or his TEX at ************. ******** regrets any inconvenience to ******************, and we appreciate his business.

      I was told by the store in Decatur that I would have good service in **** ** where I live and if I didnt I could get a full refund . So when I got home the phone did not work so I went in to get my money back and was told I could have everything but the money for the service that I paid for thirty Days .what good is it to have a phone that doesnt work in my area . I didnt even have it twenty four hours when I took it back , so then I tried calling. There support center to try and get it working , and when they couldnt I was told by them that I could take it back and get a full refund so I made the 30 minute drive to return it and was told by the store again they couldnt give back the service fee . They was very rude didnt even try to make some sort of effort to fix the problem . These companies are stealing from poor people that dont have the money to just throw away .
