Re:Your File Number: 23783952
To Whom It May Concern:
*****************. (T-Mobile) is in receipt of your correspondence dated August 22, 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. In reviewing this matter, the customers concerns are pertaining to promotional offers associated with new handset purchases.
T-Mobile records confirm the customer recently took advantage of our Equipment Installment Plan (EIP) with the purchase of three handsets, wherein an agreement was entered for 24 monthly payments for each device. Our review determined that although the customer upgraded and had an eligible trade-in device, the account was not enrolled in the offered promotion as the current rate plan did not meet the criteria to receive the Recurring Device Credit (RDC) associated with the promotion. Although our customer contacted ************* regarding the promotion, enrollment in the promotion could not be fulfilled due to the rate plan subscribed.
On August 25, 2025, our office contacted the customer and addressed their concerns. T-Mobile was able to reach an amicable resolution with our customer. 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.
Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.

I signed up for ******** at a ****** in ***************. I put the account on autopay. The charge did not go through. Now they've locked the account. The only customer service number wants to charge me $10, just to talk to somebody. I've never gotten a bit of paperwork from T-mobile. They've suspended the account so I can't log on to even see what the charges are for. No doubt there's a late fee which I refuse to pay. I"VE NEVER HAD ANY SERVICE FROM T-MOBILE. I've tried to talk with representatives who were rude and unhelpful. The ** virtual lines have been absolutely no help. This is certainly no way to treat a new customer. I'm past the 30 day window they said I'd have to return the phone and watch. I never got it work during that time. It seems like they should at least have to provide me with an accounting.Business Response

Re: Your File Number: 23782961
To Whom It May Concern:
****************** (T-Mobile)is in receipt of your correspondence dated August 22, 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. In reviewing this matter, the customers concerns are pertaining to their account maintenance and charges for unused services.
T-Mobile records show that our customer activated their account with one voice line and one mobile internet line. At that time of activation, our customer did not enroll into AutoPay, which 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 debit card or checking account supplied by the customer. However, our customer enrolled into paperless billing and elected to have their monthly billing notification sent via text message.
At the time of activation, our customer took advantage of our Equipment Installment Plan (EIP)with the purchase of new handset and wearable. At the time of these purchases, T-Mobile provided a 14-day return period which allowed our customer to use the equipment to see if it met their needs. If the equipment was not acceptable, it could have been returned to the original point of sale for a refund or exchange and, if requested, cancellation of the service and any applicable equipment financing agreement entered at the time of the original purchase.
Please note pursuant to T-Mobiles Terms and Conditions, late fees, subject to the maximum allowed by state law, may be charged if payment is not received by the due date specified on the billing notification. In addition, by accepting late payments, T-Mobile is not forgoing the right to collect all amounts due. A review of the monthly billing statement confirm that our customer has billed usage.
Pursuant to T-Mobile policy, customers may be suspended when payment in full is not received by the payment due date. Customers can make free payments via electronic check or credit card online, over the phone through the Interactive Voice Response, or by mailing in the payment to the lockbox address on their billing statement remittance slip. It should be noted that payments made over the phone with our ************* may incur a $10.00 payment support fee, while payments made in person at one of our local retail store locations may incur a payment support fee of $5.00.
Please be advised that customers who are suspended due to non-payment will continue to have online access to their account if a T-Mobile ID was established prior to the suspension. Suspended customers without an established T-Mobile ID, or customers needing help with a password reset for their T-Mobile ID will need to call ************* for assistance.
Please be assured that T-Mobile strives to provide world-class service to all our customers on each contact. We also make every effort to provide complete and accurate information to our customers. We apologize if any T-Mobile employee failed in any way to display that during our customer's contact with our ************* department.
On August 25, 2025,our office contacted our customer and advised them of the above information. T-Mobile is pleased to report to your office that upon speaking with our customer, we were able to resolve their concerns to their satisfaction. 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.
Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.

I did not authorize the addition of two lines to my T-Mobile account. I was charged for them, despite never requesting them or receiving any equipment. This is unauthorized use of my account and caused financial harm, which constitutes fraud or account compromise T-Mobile admitted they couldn't explain how the lines got there, yet claim its not fraud because no equipment was shipped is misleading. Fraud is any unauthorized use of your account for financial gain, regardless of whether a device was shipped. I am requesting a full refund for all related charges( Crediting my account is still keeping the money I did not Authorize in the first place), a written explanation of how this happened, and confirmation that my account has been secured. ( customer Digital Security infrastructure compromised) If this isnt resolved, I will escalate to the ***. I also worry whether other customers especially elderly ones may have similar unauthorized charges on their accounts without knowing from this store.Business Response

To Whom It May Concern:
****************** (T-Mobile) is in receipt of your correspondence dated August 21, 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. In reviewing this matter, the customers concerns pertain to lines on their account, which they stated they did not authorize.
Our records confirm in late March 2025, our customer added two voice lines, and four Mobile Internet lines of service at a retail location. The account has been billed for service on these lines for five months. T-Mobile was not made aware of the customers concerns until late August 2025. To resolve the customers concerns, the two lines were set to be cancelled at the end of the current bill cycle and an adjustment was applied for the five months of service.
On August 22, 2025, our office contacted the customer and appraised them of the above. Additionally, we informed the customer that the findings of a corporate investigation are proprietary. Therefore, T-Mobile is not able to disclose the results of our internal review. 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.

******** has just swindled me $1,000 bill for a phone that I purchased out right from them that they now say I did not and a tracker for my son that I rented that they say I purchased. An idiot from corporate called me yesterday and was rude and ironic and said I was an old person and didn't know what I was speaking about. The local T-Mobile store swindled me into a deal I was not made aware of. The phone was exact trade the insurance was put on it. Now when I go to fix my phone they tell me there's no insurance. The authorities in my state say T-Mobile has swindled numerous seniors out of their store. Number one I want my phone fixed number two this was an outright trade this was no deal where I traded the phone and promised to stay for 2 years. I have been with T-Mobile for 35 years and I'm about to go to straight talk or clear choice because of their abuse of me. I want contact from somebody decent from corporate not the idiot that called me yesterday and called me an old person and that I perhaps was getting old and didn't know what I was talking about. ******** has turned into a disgusting abusive companyBusiness Response

I purchased a phone from them on August 14, 2025. The price of the phone was $69.00. I paid an additional $11.99 for express shipping and handling. I paid $7.25 for tax. The total amount that I paid was $88.24.The problem that I have had regarding this order is the fact that the phone was ordered on August 14. The express shipping and handling was paid so that the phone would be delivered 1 to 3 days after the order was placed. I should have received it by Tuesday (8/19) at the latest. As of today, the phone has been paid for, but I checked my account this morning and it shows, Order fulfilled: pending, Shipped: pending. Delivered: pending. The status is processing.I have decided that I would like for them to refund me the $88.24 that I paid them.Business Response

I had switched my cell phone carrier from TMobile to ***** I was given a free number when signing up with TMobile some 5 years ago which was never used. It just sat there. I had asked for it to be removed over the 5 years as a customer but they said just to leave it. **** closed my account for me with **********************. Suddenly I am receiving bills and numerous phone calls a day that I now owe them for this number that was never used. I have called the 800 number twice, they tell me to go to the store to deal with it but they cant help. I was told to go to a store and have my account opened and then call the 800 but they do nothing. I have asked to speak with a manager but they never call me back. When I told them to cancel the phone number they are charging me for she told me she cant do that until the next billing period which was over two weeks away! They say once my main numbers were canceled the free number becomes the primary. No one ever mentioned that. Even when I was signing up with **** they said everything would be taken care of and the salesman helping me had just quit working for TMobile after 5 years of employment. They now want almost $200 and have sent me to collections. I am so frustrated and feel like they are punishing me for switching and no one will help. I dont know how a free number suddenly becomes the primary when it was never used because a phone was never connected to it. This is so wrong. Then to tell me they cant stop the billing on a number that has been free and not connected to a phone until the next billing cycle. Very upsetting! As soon as I told her I am calling you she suddenly was able to stop the billing. I was also told I would have until October to get this settled before it going to collections. Very upsetting for a business to charge me for a service that literally doesnt exist because no phone is connected to the number. Its like charging for a massage that you never received.Business Response

I called Tmobile and a representative told me that they had a promotion on getting 2 free phones with them to switch from my carrier to them. They have been billing me monthly for the FREE phones. I have spent countless hours on the phone with them asking them to fix the billing error, but they still have not. I spoke witha supervisor there about 3 weeks ago, who told me that they would pull the phone logs and get back to me within a day or two, but they never called me back.Business Response

To Whom It May Concern:
T-Mobile USA, Inc.(T-Mobile) is in receipt of your correspondence dated August 20, 2025,regarding the account referenced in the above-mentioned file number.
T-Mobile regrets any concerns our customer may have experienced regarding their account, and we appreciate the opportunity to respond. In reviewing this matter, our customers concerns pertain to handset promotions.
After a thorough review,T-Mobile confirms that upon the activation of two voice lines, the customer purchased two handsets through our Equipment Installment Plan (EIP), agreeing to 24 monthly payments for each handset. At the time of purchase, multiple promotional offers were available, which provided monthly bill credits known as Recurring Device Credits (RDC) as long as the account maintained eligibility.
Both devices were successfully enrolled in promotional offers. One promotion fully covers the cost of the device through RDCs that match the monthly EIP amount. The second device, a ******* S24 FE, was purchased at a full retail price of $649.99. The associated promotion the *** qualified for provides a total credit of $600.00 over 24 months, resulting in a remaining monthly charge of $2.09 for the difference. ******** maintains that the account is being billed accurately and in alignment with the selected rate plans, equipment installment agreements,and eligible promotional terms.
T-Mobile contacted the customer on August 25, 2025, addressed their concerns, and resolved their issues. Additionally, 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.

To Whom It May Concern:
*****************. (T-Mobile) is in receipt of your correspondence dated August 20, 2025, regarding the account referenced in the above-mentioned file number.
T-Mobile regrets any concerns our customer may have experienced regarding their account, and we appreciate the opportunity to respond. In reviewing this matter, our customers concerns pertain to billing and cancellations.
After a thorough review, T-Mobile confirmed the customer had four voice lines and two Mobile Internet lines. In January 2023, they purchased two devices on an Equipment Installment Plan (EIP) with a down payment, and agreed to 24 monthly payments for the remaining balance. Each device qualified for a promotion offering 24 monthly Recurring Device Credits (***), while maintaining eligibility. In August 2024, the customer canceled a voice line, which removed the *** due to ineligibility. The line was resumed the same day, and *** was reinstated. The **** were completed by the February 2025 billing statement. Our review found that no further cancellations were requested until April 2025, when two voice lines were canceled and a Mobile Internet line plan was changed to lower monthly recurring charges.
It is T-Mobiles position that our customer has been billed in accordance with the rate plans and services associated with the account. Our customer contacted ************* and requested bill reprints on several different occasions, which were completed. Please note that bill reprints are sent to the address of record and can take up to 10 business days to be received.
T-Mobile contacted the customer on August 21, 2025, addressed their concerns, and reached an amicable resolution. Additionally, 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.
Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.

I lost my phone so I went into tmobile store in *******, **. I financed a new phone. Was there about 1.5 hours getting all set up. Later that evening a friend called 4 times and I never got the call. Then I called tmobile sat on hold for over 30 minutes and no one answered so I used the chat and was lied to and told there was an outage in my area and that is why I could not get phone calls and that they were working on it. That was a lie. This morning my friend called and again it did not ring. I called tmobile sat on hold for 30 minutes and finally a guy answered and said he could fix the issue. We got disconnected and whatever he did made it worse. I now have no service cannot connect to wireless have no cell data. Went to work, called again, sat on hold for 30 minutes. Was verified twice, first by AI and then by the ** *** and then he transferred me to ***** ID#******* who said she could not help me unless I could verify the one time use passcode. I told her I have no service. I cant receive or make texts. She said she could not help me. I then spoke to the rudest supervisor, NOVA, who did nothing but treat me like dirt and tell me to go to the store. I explained they are closed. She did not care. The reason for the call is the phone doesn't work. But they cant help me unless I can verify a text on a phone that can't receive texts. Now I have financed a new phone and wasted hours of my valuable time. I out money and time and I have no phone. I have cancer and doctors appointments and no way to call my doctors. This is a racket!Business Response

To Whom It May Concern:
*****************. (T-Mobile) is in receipt of your correspondence dated August 20, 2025, regarding the account referenced in the above-mentioned file number.
T-Mobile regrets any concerns our customer may have experienced regarding their account, and we appreciate the opportunity to respond. In reviewing this matter, our customers concerns pertain to service issues after a handset purchase.
After a thorough review, T-Mobile has confirmed that the customer visited one of our retail locations and purchased an Apple iPhone handset through our Equipment Installment Plan (EIP). Under this agreement, the customer consented to paying the full retail price of the device in 24 monthly installments. During the visit, our retail team assisted the customer with activating the devices Embedded Subscriber Identity Module (eSIM). The following day, the customer contacted our ************* team to report issues with the new device. During this interaction, the customer was advised to visit a T-Mobile retail location for further assistance and verification.
To enhance account security and protect our customers, T-Mobile implemented Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for postpaid account verification effective March 4, 2025. This process requires two forms of verification, such as the account PIN/passcode and a one-time PIN sent to the customers device. If the one-time PIN cannot be received, customers are required to visit a T-Mobile store with a valid government-issued ID to complete verification. Once the customer visited the retail location, they were able to assist the customer with their eSIM profile settings, and the phone and service issues were resolved.
Additionally, T-Mobile has verified the address on the customers account. Based on our coverage map, the address is located in an area with good coverage; however, there is a known service-related issue in the area that may cause intermittent connectivity. Our engineering team is actively working to resolve this matter, though an estimated time for resolution is not yet available.
T-Mobile corresponded with the customer on August 27, 2025, and confirmed their issues were resolved. Additionally, we provided them with our contact information should they have any additional questions regarding this matter. T-Mobile regrets any inconvenience to 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.
