Ongoing Issue with T-Mobile Device and Inability to Reconnect ServiceDear T-Mobile Customer Support,I am writing to formally express my frustration and request urgent assistance regarding my T-Mobile device and the inability to obtain service through your company.I have contacted customer care multiple times over the past few months, but have consistently received inconsistent information and have been given the runaround without any meaningful resolution. According to one representative, my device has been "written off" and my account has been closed. However, no one has been able to provide a clear explanation or help me restore or re-establish service. I was also told that my account cannot be found in the system, possibly due to it being closed sometime between January 2025 and May 2025.I previously had a phone number associated with the account: ************. When I attempt to set up new service, representatives are somehow able to locate me using my date of birth and Social Security number, but Im then redirected to ******** for service. This is confusing and frustrating, as I have never had service with ******** my previous service was with T-Mobile directly.Despite my repeated efforts to resolve this matter, I have not received any clear answers or direction on how to proceed. It is unclear to me why I am not being offered support or even basic information about the status of my account or device eligibility.Business Response

T-Mobile regrets any concerns our customer has regarding the account, and we appreciate the opportunity to respond to this matter. In reviewing this matter, their concerns pertain to an account they use to have with T-Mobile.
Our record confirms in July of 2024, our customer activated an account. Our records confirm the customer had four active voice lines, one mobile internet line, and one watch line. From July of 2024 to October of 2024, our customer placed orders for five devices using our Equipment Installment Plan (EIP) offering.
In March of 2025, our records confirm the account was cancelled due to nonpayment and the above mentioned EIPs were billed in full to the following billing statement. Furthermore, in April of 2025, due to continued nonpayment, the account was referred to an outside collection agency. To reapply for new T-Mobile service a customer must not have an existing account with an outstanding balance.
T-Mobile contacted the customer on May 13, 2025, and addressed their concerns and advised them of the above. Furthermore, we provided them with our contact information should they have any additional questions regarding this matter.
Based on the foregoing, we respectfully request this complaint against T-Mobile be closed.

I am writing to file a formal complaint against ******** regarding an unresolved billing issue stemming from my recent device purchase experience.On March 20, 2023, I spoke with a T-Mobile representative to order a new mobile device online. During the conversation, the representative assured me that the device would be delivered the next day. However, the device did not arrive as promised.Due to the delay, I visited a local T-Mobile store and purchased the device I needed in-store. The next day, the originally ordered device was delivered to my home, and I marked it as Return to Sender (RTS) and returned it via *** as instructed.Despite returning the first device, T-Mobile has continued to charge me for that device on my account. I have tried to resolve this issue by contacting customer service multiple times, but I have not received a satisfactory response or resolution.I request your assistance in resolving this matter and issuing a refund for the charges related to the device that I returned and should not be held liable for. I believe this situation stems from a breakdown in communication and fulfillment on T-Mobiles part.Business Response

I have called Assurance Wireless many times in the past 2 weeks. First I wanted to port my number out to another company. However, once I applied to another company, Assurance Wireless closed my account and so I was not able to port over my number. Then I had to reapply to Assurance Wireless to get my old number back. I received a new phone with a new phone number. When I called to transfer my number, I was told the process is done and to restart the phone to use. However, when I restarted my phone, there was no cellular network. When I called back, I was told to read the imei number, which I did. Then I was told to read the sim card numbers. This phone does not have a sim card push. However, the representative kept saying to push harder to get the sim out. Finally the representative said to speak to the supervisor, in which during the transfer....the phone was disconnected due to after hours. I left a message after rating them a 0. Due to the pushing of the phone with a pin to get the sim out, the phone now has a white screen and does not work. Now I have no working phone. The people who work at the company are not trained and do not know how to help customers.Business Response

I am complaining about the inadequate service provided for my GPS auto tracker. I have been having trouble with my GPS tracker for the past couple of months, I have a total of 4. The devices do not work properly and the new app provided is also not working correctly. I had to do a replacement for several of the trackers, and when received they did not function properly. Plus I was charged a warranty fee to get the defective device I had just received, replaced. I went to the store as recently May 4th and a work ticket was created by the store and I was told someone from technical support would contact which yet to happenBusiness Response

Our customer has four Internet of Things (IoT) lines and four SyncUp Tracker Equipment Installments Plans (EIP) associated with the IoT lines. ****** Trackers provide customers with the ability to track items using GPS technology and T-Mobiles network. Between February 2025 and May 2025, the customer spoke with T-Mobile regarding challenges with their SyncUP Trackers.

After troubleshooting was completed, warranty exchange devices were processed. Please note, when a warranty exchange is filed, a warranty processing fee is assessed.
Our office spoke to the customer on May 9, 2025, who confirmed all SyncUP Trackers were having ongoing connectivity challenges therefore, we engaged our engineers who determined that two of the Trackers were not showing active. As a result, the account was refreshed and the customer was asked to update their software to the newest version and to retest the device. On May 12, 2025, our office spoke with the customer who indicated none of the devices were working; therefore, we engaged our engineers to further investigate.

The SyncUP devices provide customers the ability to track important items using GPS technology and T-Mobiles network. Currently, T-Mobile offers SyncUP Trackers and SyncUP Drive devices, which are products with different functionalities.

Upon completion of applicable troubleshooting, ****** ****** indicated they remained unable to connect to the SyncUP Drive device. As such, ****** ******* concerns were escalated to our Engineering team for further review.

Replacement SyncUP Drive devices with the ******************** Equipment Identifiers (IMEI) ending in 1466 and 3362 were sent to ****** ****** for pickup at a T-Mobile retail location, and were delivered as of April 17, 2025.

The warranty Processing Fee was disclosed before the above transactions were completed and the replacement devices were sent out.
T-Mobile contacted ****** ****** on May 9, 2025, at which time they indicated they continued to experience issues with their SyncUP Drive devices. ****** ****** declined to complete the applicable troubleshooting at that time; however, we escalated their concerns to our Engineering team once again. Our Engineering team requested ****** ****** update the SyncUP Drive devices and associated application to the newest software version and retest the devices.

I ordered a new cellphone and service through sales online. They shipped out the phone and I no longer wanted the phone due to a discrepancy about which phone would be sent out. I called back to have the phone returned while it was still in route to me so the phone never reached me but was redirected back to T-Mobile. They received the phone and Im now having a problem getting my money refunded. When I called customer service I am constantly getting the run around. I was even told to go to a retail location which I did only to waste my time. I have never even received an email stating that I would receive my refund. I would not recommend this company to anyone because they are quick to take your money and then give you the run around about being refunded. Im on a fixed income and disabled and I cant afford to just throw money away. This is absolutely ridiculous and I want my money back asap. You have your product back so where is my complete refund! I am waiting for my refund so I can close the whole account and I hope I dont get charged one ***** because I never received the phone or used it!!! I want the cost of the phone and all sale taxes refunded.Business Response

I have yet to see a cell phone bill with the amount quoted with the exception of my March bill at $184.33. I went to the local store which I have had issues with in the past and the regional manager named **** looked at my bill and said it "looked correct". He told me that the $30 internet was only available on a "higher plan". for some reason it went to $45 on my bill and not the $30.00 I was quoted. I was not shopping for a new phone or internet when I went into this store and left with both as the math made sense. I had a paid off iPhone 14 Pro Max when I went in which ******** had paid of due to my trade in "disappearing" on that phone as well. I went into the ******** store in April for the same issue and was told that the "trade in credits were not on my bill so it would be higher that month but way lower the following month". The bottom line is, my bill should be $185 including my $30 internet $189 at max and I'm being billed $263.08 for 2 phones, my watch and internet. Thank you in advance for your assistance with this matter.Business Response

To Whom It May Concern:
*****************. (T-Mobile) is in receipt of your correspondence dated May 6, 2025, regarding the account referenced in the above-mentioned file number.
T-Mobile regrets any concerns our customer has regarding the account, and we appreciate the opportunity to respond to this matter. In reviewing this matter, the customers concerns are pertaining to a billing dispute after upgrading their handsets and adding a ********************* line to their account.
After a thorough review T-Mobile confirmed that the customer visited a retail location and activated a new voice line, Home Internet line, and purchased two new handsets on our Equipment Installment Plan (EIP). The Home Internet line met eligibility for our Internet ********: Internet: $30 Internet with Any Voice Line (Internet ********* promotion which provides a monthly bill credit of $30.00. Our review found the handsets were enrolled in a device promotion which provides monthly Recurring Device Credits (RDC) while maintaining eligibility. Additionally, our retail team did contact ************* to change the rate plan for the customers four voice lines to our ****** Offer Essentials rate plan with a monthly cost of $120.00 for four lines plus taxes and the Home Internet line was changed to our Amplified Home Internet rate plan with a monthly cost of $65.00 plus taxes. The Home Internet line met eligibility for our monthly $15.00 HSI Voice Bundle Discount. As a result of the rate plan change, the Internet ******** was removed.
T-Mobile contacted the customer on May 9, 2025, and addressed their concerns. T-Mobile was able to reach an amicable resolution with our customer. Furthermore, we provided them our contact information should they have any additional questions regarding this matter.
Based on the foregoing, we respectfully request this complaint against T-Mobile be closed.

T-Mobile customer service has made it impossible to remove services from my account, even when I don't have a contract, my numbers have been transferred to a different carrier. Still, they will not cooperate to deactivate my account or service with T-Mobile. it is illegal to continue to make me pay for the service when I don't have service with T-Mobile!!Business Response

Good Afternoon, In early ****** *** sorry I don't remember the date, I requested servie & a phone from Assurance Wireless. The phone started giving me trouble, so Assurance told me it's out of warranty??? They gave me a website to order a new one, I don't totally remember the site, just that it's Quality 1 something (*** sorry). I bought a ******** that was worse than the free phone. I've been calling Quality 1 for 3 weeks and trying to acces them online, but they never respond. Their phone numbr is ************. No *** at Assurance has offered to help me troubleshoot the ********. One *** told me he put in an order to ***lace the phone. *** still waiting. Yesterday, I spoke with a *** to get the address to return the ********, since I already transferred my service back to the free phone. He refused to give me the info, kept interrupting, and kept asking the same questions, what number did I call, etc. Then offered to troubleshoot the phone I just told him is deactivated. No one at Quality 1 responds to my numerous messages. Now Ijust want to be rid of the ********, which works worse than the free phone. *** elderly, alone, and need a phone that works and I need to sop wasting my time on people who don't care. The phone is $119.00 before taxes and SIM caard and charger. Whatever that amounts to is what I would appreciate as a refund. P.S. The ***s at first were very nice. I don't know what changed. The address on the website is *******, **. Thank youBusiness Response

I am rejecting this response because: This is ***** ****** working for my sister ****** *****, whereas she's mentally challenged. I misplaced the letter I had received from ***** ******. Last time I spoke with her she wanted me to contact ******** Mastercard to see if the credit check from Shop Quality One had been directed to them. I called & they didn't have anything. So No this claim isn't closed, we can't ever reach anyone at Shop Quality One. No one answers the phone but a machine, you leave a message & no one calls you back. I also called Assurance in *************** & they told me I had to call Shop Quality also. I've been calling for months. I fill out messages on their web site & still nothing. That's why I'm reporting them they are not a legit business, all they have working for them is answering machines I think.
We returned a PCP65 smart phone with a sim card. $69.99 phone, & $10.00 sim card. Order number ASW75788 1/20/25 Date of return was 02/19/25. The package receipt #1Z030R539040045821.About 3-4 days I received a email from Assurance Wireless say Your Return Refund Complete, Order #ASW_75788 Return Status: Return Approved. So I have no idea what I can do next to get this resolved.
I would love it if someone from your office would try this number to Shop Quality & see what happens for yourself. ************ Is the only number I've been given.

I am rejecting this response because: We finally heard from Quality One & they finally let us know that they had sent our credit back to Mastercard back on 3/5/25. All they had to do was send us an email months ago & it would've saved a hole lot of grief for all of us. It was not only rude but very unprofessional way of doing business. I hope this business gets some type of strong reprimand from BBB. I plan on writing a bad review for the things
they've done to us during the last 4 months.Sincerely,
