T-Mobile customers can cancel their contract without penalty due to increased text message fees
Effective June 1st, T-Mobile's text message rates will increase from $0.10 to $0.15 per message. Consumer advocacy groups like UCAN maintain that such changes constitute a materially adverse affect to a wireless customer's contract, thereby allowing the customer to terminate his/her contract without penalty as provided by standard contract law and the cell phone company's terms and conditions (except Cingular). T-Mobile has acknowledged this publicly. As reported by www.consumerist.org, T-Mobile spokesman Peter Dobrow told RCR Wireless News that, " Customers may terminate their contract without incurring an ETF soon after receiving their notification of the pricing change."
T-Mobile's materially adverse clause in its terms and conditions says that, unless notified otherwise, customers have 14 days to cancel their contract without penalty due to a materially adverse contract change. But be careful. Cell phone companies don't enforce material adverse clauses uniformly, and a lot depends on the customer service rep you talk to. T-Mobile's clause also states that you accept the changes by using your service. While this should not apply to the 14 day window, you may end up with a nasty sales rep bent on keeping you as a customer. If you know for sure you want to get out of your contract, call T-Mobile on June 1st from a landline phone and don't use your cell phone untill your contract is cancelled. This is the T-Mobile notice:
On June 1, 2007, the charge to send a picture, video, or multimedia
message (MMS) to a US wireless number from the US or Canada, and the
charge to receive an MMS message from a US wireless number while you
are in the US or Canada, will decrease from 25¢ to 15¢ per message.*
The same day, the charge (a) to send a text or instant message (SMS) to
a US wireless number from the US or Canada, and (b) to receive an SMS
message (including a scheduled alert) from within or outside the US
while you are in the US or Canada, will increase from 10¢ to 15¢ per
message.* If you subscribe to a monthly messaging bundle, then each of
these rate changes will apply to MMS and SMS messages in excess of your
monthly allotment.** All per-message and messaging bundle charges are
subject to applicable taxes.

Wow
Well, I just switched to Sprint after 8 or 9 years with T Mobile. I am really disappointed to find that the Sprint network does not allow for web browsing while talking on the phone. I was set to return to T mobile, though I hate them. They were once very good and I used to recommend them to everyone. Now I just hate them. After reading through all the comments here, I was reminded about how much I hate Tmobile and the reasons why. I have dealt with many of the same issues. I won't be surprised if I find a bill for an entire month though I switched to Sprint the day after my Tmo contract ended and I called them 3 times to make sure they would not try and charge me some kind of cancellation fee nor an add'l month for the day I had past my contract. I made sure to ask if the bill going forward would be prorated. I was told it would be. But as we all know, they say all kinds of stuff, and it rarely turns out to be correct. Call back for a different answer.
Anyway, after reading all this, I think I'll deal with not being able to browse/talk simultaneously. It sucks, but nowhere near as bad as the last 2 years of dealing with T mobile. They are really, really awful.
Thank you all for the reminder.
Don't get T-mobile
I just had a Chat with a T-mobile rep name Amberly. Couple of months ago I moved to MT, where T-mobile has no reception. After 3 months using Roaming, T-mobile asked to disconnect me. They left me a voice mail says: on July 27th, this number will be disconnected. Therefore, on July 27th (around 630pm), I went to ATT and ported my number. On my last bill I got $200 termination fee, reasoned by "you were still under the contract". Seriously T-mobile? What did you expect me to do? Don't get T-mobile!
tmobile customer care
The first people you get to suck,,, YOU HAVE TO TALK TO CUSTOMER LOYALTY TO GET ANYTHING DONE.....they try to stop you from talking to them but just call back cuss and act completely ignorant until you get to CUSTOMER LOYALTY...THEY FIXED MY PROBLEM IN TWO MINUTES LITERALLY, that I couldnt get fixed for two weeks through customer service..

Hello everyone!!
I got a message from tmobile saying something they were putting up international call higher, and to verify on tmoibel/legal, which has no information about that! Does anybody have a clue about*this new* thing????
apreciate info...
Please help I want to cancel my contract without paying
I have four lines under a family plan want to cancel but they told me it would be $800 to cancel all four Ive called multiple of times about losing service on phones and they
tell me the same thing over what can i do to cancel my contract without paying???
T-mobile Your day will come.
Tmobile has quite a racket going on. When I initially signed up, I got a Behold. On samsungs website it state dthe phone could be used as a wi-fi modem. After trying this feature, i was informed from Tmobile that they didnt have a script written for this function, and asked if i would like to PURCHASE a wi-fi card for 60+ dollars a month. I told them i wanted outof my contract because they didnt full support the product . They fall back on "did we claim it could be used as a modem?". Getting my number transeferred, i got bounced around from department to dept, with each one laughing at me when i would tell them i already spoke with them. Had coverage issues When i was living in San diego, was told i have coverage yet the calls to tech support were being dropped. Had issue with the GPS not responding to the voice feature. "o thats an andriod issue", once again passing the buck. Then they tell me I need a new data plan, at wich time they didnt tell me the texting wasn't included and i would be charged for texts. Got a 300 dollar bill for texting, and yet they wouldnt credit me without me signing up for a text program. Driving from tuscon to Phoenix there was no DATA coverage at all. In fact my GPS said i was in four corners NM and didnt change until i got into phoenix. Yet the tech support is wanting me to powercycle my phone while driving and they're telling me i have coverage yet my GPS can't find me. They use tactics like, "we can fix that for you if you spend more money on this......" I dont live in California anymore yet still get charged all the cali surcharges, they tell me it's due to my Cali area code, and they could change my number for 15 bucks. I Could go on about all the BS That T-Mobile has lied, mis-represented, and not been forth comming with, but i'm not wasting anymore thought on this company. Why has this company not been sued via class action suit is beyond me. I hope the AT&T merger costs Tmobile millions of dollars and customers. But heck you'll just make the suscribers absorb it. Dont get their 10 a month 4-g service either. They're doing that so when the takeover happens, AT&T will force existing T-mobile sheep to pay for their higher priced and crappier service. Tmobile can F-off!!
I first got T-Mobile when I
I first got T-Mobile when I was 17. I had a Sidekick and LOVED it. The service and price were decent and the phone was awesome. The my phone broke and I "upgraded" to a Blackberry, paid the $30 and renewed my contract. My father(who's plan I was on) didn't like that very much so we did a transfer of responsibility and I had my own plan. Being eighteen now, I was very happy. I was building my credit and officially on my own. About two or three months later one of my boyfriend's friends was switching to Verizon, and he had no need for his G1, so he had given it to me. This is when my problems started. I went to the T-Mobile store in my local mall to switch from the Blackberry service to the Android service... And they said I couldn't because I "didn't buy the phone from them." I thought this was complete bullsh!t, so I fought it. After about an hour in the half of talking to the store's manager and various customer service reps on the phone, they finally let me use my G1. The price of my plan did go up, but not by much(about a dollar a month) so I was okay with it.
I was out with my boyfriend one night when I realized my bill was due soon so we went to the nearest store, and while I was paying my bill, the man working in the store said I was eligible for another upgrade, and I had dropped my G1 in a Wawa and cracked the screen, so i needed a new phone. He showed me the latest ones, and I fell in love with the myTouch 4G. Being an extremely girly girl, I chose the limited edition holiday purple, and we proceeded to the check out. He said there was going to be an $18 upgrade fee and I was too excited about my new phone to care. He said it was going to be about a hundred and fifty dollars, and my boyfriend paid it for me as a Christmas gift. Then two months later I got my bill in the mail and it was $40 more than it should have been!! I read through that thing about five times before I saw it- They were charging me $40 a month for four months for my phone! Apparently they put me on a payment plan without telling me about it! I called Customer Service as soon as I woke up the next morning. I spoke to about three different people, all of whom could not help me because they "couldn't understand my situation or why I was angry." When I finally spoke to the last person(not a manager or supervisor like I had hoped-that was too much to ask)I reamed them out until I was blue in the face and they said that they "told me about the payment plan." Well, I'm sorry, Miss, but you were NOT in the store with me and my boufriend when I was buying the phone. We were under the impression that I was only going to have to pay about $170 for this phone, and now they want me to pay $160 more... And on top of that, my plan had gone up, too, because it was a "4G" phone. T-Mobile does NOT have 4G. The stupid thing never worked even though he swore up and down it would work in my area. Also, I didn't recieve anything for a mail-in rebat for this phone like I should have since I was renewing my contract... yet again.
Long story short: How can I cancel my service without paying the $200 early-termination fee? If someone could help me I would very much appriciate it!
Dial 611 on the phone and say
Dial 611 on the phone and say cancel service. This should take you to the loyalty dept.
t-mobile charged insurance for phone they wouldn't cover
My wife has us on the family plan with t-mobile. When we signed up for the service plan we were given 2 phones and purchased a 3rd phone from Amazon. T-mobile called us and told us that they could insure the phone that we purchased from Amazon. They took the money every month since September to cover the phone. This month the phone died. When we called t-mobile they told us that the phone was not covered even though they were collecting the insurance on it every month. We tried dealing with customer service. They said that if we signed a new 2 year contract that they would replace the phone and give us back the money that they collected for the insurance. I told them to take a hike and that as soon as the contract was over we would be switching to Verizon. They then said that they could only reimburse us 12.00 of the insurance they had collected. They had collected 42.00 and should have returned it if they were not going to cover the phone.
Is this good grounds to break the contract? Have they broken the contract by not providing the service that we were charged for?

att
Is the pending at&t buyout materially adverse? There is absolutely no way I will tolerate being a customer of at&t.
TMobile/AT&T merger
Like you, I absolutely will not become an AT&T customer. Can we cancelled our contracts without penalty I wonder. I was unable to get thru to TMobile today. Have you learned any more on the subject?
ATT MERGE T_MOBILE
Hey let me know if you find out the info, as I just re-signed with T-mobile and WILL NOT become part of ATT
need help asap!!!!
so, ive been with tmobile for about 5 years, and never had any problems till this year. we hit a few money problems and this bill got behind. so in short we made a payment arrangement and for some reason our bank denied the charge. so instead of a $400 some odd bill being paid in two payments, we now have a $500 bill that has to be paid all at once. plus, usually when the phones get cut you can still send and receive calls. but not this time. oh no, i guess t-mobile thought it would be funny to completely cut off my communication to the world B*st*rds!!!!
anyways, i saw that someone on here was able to get they 4 line contract canceled with no fee, so i was wondering if that person could do the same for me and my 3 line contract. it would be soooo appreciated!!!!!!
thank you!
why are you being an ass?
So you owe tmobile money right? So why are you bitching about them cutting off your service? You're lucky they don't take you to court or send to collections like a serious uncaring business would. But no, you are not in jail, despite theft of services on your behalf. People like you are ruining it for everyone else. I hope now is that the people who loved you, don't anymore. You don't deserve it from them.
That's an incredibly ignorant
That's an incredibly ignorant statement- they're lucky not to be in jail for owing money? What? Since when is this a criminal charge?
Before spouting off angry nonsense to strangers, make an attempt to educate yourself, please.
I can only assume you are one of the many idiot Tmobile customer service reps.
this message must be from a Tmobil representative
<< the above message must came from Tmobil's sale department .. Lolz
Tmobile cancellation charges
I cancelled my tmobile account on 1-30-11 and ported my numer to a new carrier. I recently got a bill for 2 months of service form them. I called them and questioned them about the bill. Customer service told me that because I cancelled my service 2 days into my next cycle, that I owe them for the whole cycle of billing. They also told me that i was past due on my previous months bill. I was current, but I told them that I would pay the past due amount plus a "prorated" portion for the 2 days, and they refused.
This was after the first person I talked to told me that the charges were there because i didn't give them 30 days notice of cancellation. The problem is, I have had such horrible problems with them lying on the phone, and with service problems that I told them a year ago that I was cancelling when my contract terms were up.
Has anybody else had this problem? Any suggestions?
tmobile cancellation
I have the same problem.Why should i pay when my contract is up.I will be seeking legal advice on this matter.Because i am out of that contract.
same issue....resolved
i had the exact same thing happen to me. however, i resolved this issue with a lot of screaming and yelling and also because the FIRST time i called the person said there WAS a prorated charge for the remaining few days before i canceled and i made him put a note on the account. luckily, the second person i talked to admitted there was a note on my call history that showed i was told there would be a prorated charge. however, she did say that it is the policy of ALL carriers to charge a FULL month's amount regardless of how little a portion of a month was used after cancelling the account. i don't knwo the validity of that, but it is obviously a scam.

Contact Better Business Bureau.. T-mobile will bow before them and gladly waive you off. Thank goodness they are shutting down this coming year and becoming AT&T
Out of contract and billed $108.75 for 2 days service
Same thing happened to me. I was with TMobile for 10 years and decided to check out Google Voice and transferred my number over to them 2 days into the billing cycle. Just got my bill in the mail and saw that they charged me for a full month of service. Called them up and the guy couldn't really say anything other than that's what was stated in the terms and conditions. I don't care what is stated in the terms and conditions, it's not ethically or morally right to charge someone $108.75 for $5.33 in service. I'm signed up for "EasyPay" but I am going to call my bank and see if they can prevent the TMobile payment from coming out. I don't even use that bank account anymore so I may just cancel it so that they can't get their money. I have excellent credit and it would totally be worth it for them not to get the money.
ditto
Well, like so many others , it seems, I finally ditched T-mobilke. I started with them eons ago, which was 2 owners before t-mo got it. They bought voice stream and voice stream bought it from someone else (can't remember the name), whom I initially signed up with. I would say upwards of 10 years. T-mo shot the whole thing down. Initially things were going great, but just as I was beginning to hear about all kinds of problems-Bingo-mine started. Here's what happened: I was in a 2 year contract, which expired this past July, I believe the 27th. Financial hardship lead me to look for something more appropriate for me, and I found something, no contract to boot, at t-mo. I looked to see what their policy was so close to an expiration of contract, and found where it said that if I was within my last so many days (30, 60, or 90, can't really remember, but I was DEFINITELY within that timeframe), that there would be no early termination fee, if I wanted to change my plan. Happy to have found this I proceeded to make the change on line. And what was this $50.00 fee I saw? Not equivalent to early termination fee and not identified in any kind of way other than "fee". So I called. Explained what I was trying to do and wanted to know what this "fee" was. They told me early termination. Now-I thought early termination fee was $200.00. Should it not say that if it was early termination fee? Long story short, they weren't sure. Then I directed them at the page saying the thing about no termination fee if you're within a certain period of contract expiring. Oh, that was old and should have been taken off the site. My reaponse of course was "but it has not been taken off, therefore it is a legal public document, and if it is not honored, false advertising to say the least". Apologies followed and but unfortunately..... I could just see in my mind's eye the meeting where these reps are told "whatever you do, no waivers, no cheapos, no promises, no anything to give in and make the customer happy. And foremost, get rid of the customer and do not bother the managers". Well, I asked for a supervisor, the same apologies, same buts, same unfortunatelies. My response "well I guess it is time to start looking around for something better than what I am getting here, since yall don't seem too keen on keeping your customers, and keeping them happy. Look for my cancellation when my contract expires". I really didn't think I was asking for too awfully much in exchange for keeping me on. So I looked around and made my choice. I called this new company and asked about the procedure of switching and KEEPING THE SAME NUMBER. They told me not to call my current provider, that, like many businesses do, they will take care of the cancellation process, which would insure me being able to keep my number. If I cancelled with them first, they would reassign
my number and the new provider would have no control over that. In order to have a short overlap and no time without a cellphone, I went ahead and placed my order a week prior to my old contract being up. OF course this came with a new number, which I didn't use. What I didn't know was that the new provider would have to send me another sim card with my old number, but they couldn't do that until they 'pulled' that number from t-mo. So I called them to tell them I was ready and they proceeded to pull my number (this was 2 or 3 days
after my contract with t-mo expired) from t-mo and sent me a new sim card. They then, without fuss, terminated the original number on my account, as I now showed 2 lines, and I was back to one line with the same number I have had for at least a decade. Now I no longer had access to my online account at t-mo, so I figured they would send me a final bill in the mail. I did receive something after quite a while, but it was a letter trying to get me back. Trash material...!!! Today I got a call from t-mo, telling me that I had an outstanding balance of over $100.00. I asked what timeframe this was for and she said one bill for the month of July (I cancelled 30 July, so it was a full month-no prob), and then the final bill for August. I asked why so much for August and they said that I was billed for the entire month because my new billing cycle had started before I terminated (2 or 3 days at most into the new billing cycle), therefore they are charging for the whole month. ME: I DON'T THINK SO. Every other utility company prorates up to the day I terminate, what makes you think you
can do this and get away with it? -- SHE: Well, you didn't cancel with us. -- ME: So, somebody cancelled, obviously, as my account no longer exists. -- she: Yes your number was pulled -- ME: And that means I cancelled my service with you. Whether I did it or my dead grandmother, it makes no difference. I have no contractual abligations with you. -- SHE: So can I get you to obligate to payment over the phone? -- ME: In your dreams. I want to see those bills. -- SHE: We sent out a bill for July on such and such a date. I am unable to re send you the bill for July but it is on the August bill. which we just sent out to you. -- ME: Other than a mailing trying to get me back I received nothing from t-mobile. Until I have the bill in my fingers, I will not pay. And as far as the August bill is concerned, I will pay for the days I utilized your service and not a penny more. So if you want your money, send me the proper bills. -- SHE: So I will note your account that you won't obligate to payment over the phone. -- ME: That is correct. Good bye.
So here goes nothing. There isn't much they can do to my credit rating, so I will pay what they are due, once I get the bill, but in no way shape or form are they going to take me for a penny more. Does anyone know abut the legal aspect of them trying to bill me for an entire month just because the billing cycle had started before I cancelled?
Last bill shock
I have the same problem. Billing cycle ended 2/19 and service ended 2/23. Having gone to paperless billing I went online to pay final bill on 2/24 and could no longer access account since I had no service. Okay, I'll wait for them to bill me. On 3/23 receive call requesting I make payment over the phone. I refused and suggested they send me a bill. I wanted a record. I hung up when she threatened to hit my credit. On 3/26 received to separate items from T-Mobile. A thank you and bill for my last month's service and a regular bill for twice that much, which included a full month's charge for 3 days. A call to customer service resulted in 3 things. First I was told that because my service rolled 3 days into the month I had to pay the full cost of my unlimited plan. Second, when I replied that I would pay nothing before I paid that the representative said that I had discovered an error in their billing and I should have been charged only around $8 for the 3 days and she would take that payment over the phone. Third I told the representative and am following up with a letter to T-Mobile that I will pay nothing until I receive my last 2 months final bill on paper. I believe they bill in advance and the last bill before my service ended was for the period after 2/19 which means I only owe about $8 not the full amount of the last bill. Frankly I don't care. I'm not paying them anything. My credit is excellent and I doubt T-Mobile can hurt it and if they do I'm prepared to refute it.
Cancelation Fees
My circumstances are almost exactly the same as the above complaint, I could of wrote it myself the dates and all. I left TMobile on the same dates and had the same problem, I was advised that it was on the page three of the bill that I will pay a full months service rate if I cancel before the contract was over with. I advised them I would only pay for the three days I used the service and the rest they could send to collection and that I would write a letter to the FCC. Phone companies dont charge for a full month if you cancel the service, that is ridicules of them to do that. I did advice them I was thinking of changing but you cant disconnect through therm you have to go through the new company which I did.
Solution to your problem
I'v had many problems like you my friend... with many different wireless carriers.... until i'v found out about Prepaid Legal Service. Their service is amazing! its not a cell phone provider but rather a company that has top rated law firms... now you might be thinking that going through lawyers will be expensive rite? well not if you become a member of Prepaid Legal Service. They do many kinds of legal services like... e.g. writing a complaint letter on your behalf. to become a member is very cheap which gives you unlimited access to legal services... I SAVED A LOT by using this service... i was able to cancel my service without $200-300 cancellation fees...all i did was called my attorney, and they send a complaint letter against my cellphone provider, i got a reply back within a week or two, and was able to cancel my account. AMAZING! just visit Prepaidlegal.com for more info... or you can contact me for any questions and concerns on my email or my cell: 773-800-9411
T-Mobile Corporate number (not very helpful)
Just had my worst experience with a phone company. I even bumped it up to corporate (who not only was more rude than the regular customer service but was less helpful). I urge everyone to voice their complaints with Executive customer service at 800-318-9270 or 425-378-4000 (it won't get you any where but at least they can know they are really not "number one" in customer satisfaction).

I used to love my Tmobile it
I used to love my Tmobile it was a good price and the people seemed nice...but did that ever change...first I had internet fot 10$/mt then it didnt work on my phone so I called and cancelled it. At my fault i never really looked over my bill till one day I was thinking that it something wasnt adding up, they never took the internet off my bill but they sure did take it off my phone. After paying 6 months of internet I never had they said I never called and cancled which was total BS! And now I moved and I have no service what so ever in my house or anywhere in my town. I have talked to so many reps and even went to the store. The only thing the told me I could do was upgrade my phone to a nicer phone w/ wifi to get serivice of my box. Well that means another 2 yr contract!!! So now i have 2 cells that i pay monthly that dont work anywhere around me! I only have 4 months of my contract left and they wont let me out@! Anyone have any tips of getting out of this contract
Solution to your problem
I'v had many problems like you my friend... with many different wireless carriers.... until i'v found out about Prepaid Legal Service. Their service is amazing! its not a cell phone provider but rather a company that has top rated law firms... now you might be thinking that going through lawyers will be expensive rite? well not if you become a member of Prepaid Legal Service. They do many kinds of legal services like... e.g. writing a complaint letter on your behalf. to become a member is very cheap which gives you unlimited access to legal services... I SAVED A LOT by using this service... i was able to cancel my service without $200-300 cancellation fees...all i did was called my attorney, and they send a complaint letter against my cellphone provider, i got a reply back within a week or two, and was able to cancel my account. They were also able to help me with the stupid credit collection agency, that made sure that my credit doesnt' go bad... AMAZING! i'm actually a member of Prepaidlegal.com for more info contact me for any questions and concerns on my email or my cell: 773-800-9411.... i'll see if i can help you.

tmobile
I tried TMobile for just under 2 weeks. I called a "Fulfillment" center to return the phones. The sent me a shipping label. I shipped them off a few days later when FedEx decided to show up for the pick-up. Now they are saying I have to pay 4 200 cancellation fees. What? I didn't even have service at home. I have called tmobile, I have called this fulfillment center, they keep saying I have to call the other one. I have been on the phone for over 2 hours. I am NOT paying this fee. I don't owe it. What can I do? I am so pissed right now.

How do i cancel my T-Mobile contract without paying a fee?

TMOBILE - CANCELING B/C OF BAD SERVICE.
I had a contract with tmobile for 1yr and 1/2. Service was good but after the first year I wasnt obtaining any service what so ever. In fact I used my house phone and then could only use my htc touch 2 for wifi connections and text messaging. No calling, no data. So I eventually kept calling into tmobile bitching, one customer service rep after another. Soon enough I explained my issue, explained that I have contacted multiple customer service reps and got the cancelation free of charge. There is no reason that anybody with shitty service should have to pay a termination fee. Either be tough and tell the reps how it is, or pay the fee.
(I'm from the eastern part of NY, so you'd think service would be alright)

Tmobile contract
@ pinebrook9.. I would email but I'm at work for the majority of the day and unfortunately my workplace has blocked employees from accessing gmail online. Figured my next best bet was to try and contact you through here.. I've been with tmobile for quite some time but can no longer stomach the fact that I pay over 100 per mth for a $20 nokia phone that rarely, if at all, accepts text messages. I used to have a blackberry but when it broke, all they did was change my data pkg from 30.00 to 15.00 for unlimited text. I've tried numerous times to speak with representatives about the extreme charges yet seem to always get the run-around and eventually told, "too bad, but you can always pay the termination fee". Please help!!!!!!! I can email you later as well after work if thats what you prefer :) thank youuuuu!

AMERICA QUALITY THROUGH T-MOBILE BARBARRIC TACTICS
First let me say I do not care who reads this. Tmobile today said they were shutting me off periode because of sec 11 in thier contract. My phone says centenial all the time unless I stand in a yard 2 blocks up the street. I was told numerouse times that sense I had nation wide calling and unlimited everything this was not an issue nor will ever be an issue if my cell has another carriers name on it. Now I have 3 phones totalling 1200 dollars that don't work with any other carrier because of sim card issues. Tmobile says they will not issue me money back, they tell me that there is no way they can help me where shutting you off periode. Two different tmobile customers, one called me never left a message. Good service huh. second I called them. Two different stories and explainations and reasonings for my issue. It is a barbarric tactic that proves you don't get more, it means we take more and you loose. My issues with another carrier on my phone about 65 percent of the time, was numeriously addressed, told no problem no issue. I actually read contract few years ago, yet it is my fault that I didn't keep on it. Yet, is it right that a company can promote, and speak of getting more? Is it the consumers fault that they can't do there own job correctly? Now the new meaning of kids talk free makes sense, Seems to me the stock will show how fast they fall. Manipulating another into believing there service is the best and giving wrong information on the phone constantly between employees to a consumer is and always will be an injustice to society
can't cancel my tmobile even though stationed overseas
I called to cancel my tmobile service today and they said the only way that I could do it was to prove that I am now living in Germany. I have to mail them a copy of a utility bill proving that I am living here, well considering that we just moved here like 2 weeks ago we don't have an apartment yet. Also, we will be living on a military base and we do not get utility bills when we live on a military base so I can't cancel it that way. Then he said I could mail them a copy of my german driver's license, which do you know how long that will take to get! Plus the licenses here for military are only operator's licenses and don't even have an address or picture on them. So what, now I am stuck paying for a phone that I can't use for 3 years because I have no options to cancel unless I pay the $200 cancelation fee!?! Plus, every other phone company has a military department that deals strictly with the special needs to the military, but when I asked the guy about it he says there is not such department. Plus, he told me he was gonna get his supervisor and when he go back on the phone, there was no supervisor on. What the hell! This is complete BS! I think I will be going through JAG to get this situation handled and I won't be dealing with Tmobile ever again!
T-mobile cancellation due to going overseas....
I work for another major fortune 500 company which has a specialty "military" department. Why not provide T-Mobile with a copy of your orders showing that you are stationed in Germany? If you are not able to provide a utility bill or drivers license to them...this would seem to be the next reasonable thing to do.
Send them a copy of your PCS

i have been with tmobile for 11 months and it sux, i call them every week telling them i dont get service in my house and they always tell me that their working on it, they give me instructions like turn ur phone off at night and take the battery off i have done everything and nothing works i still have to go near a store to make or recieve a f***ing phone call bcus thats the only place a get service, sometime i make calls from my house but the call keeps hanging up saying network unavailable i have gone to them telling them that i want out but when i go they tell me can u please hold on a sec im helping a customer and ignore me and i keep reminding them that i dont have all day that i want out and they tell me to please bare with them for a few more secs i end up wasting 1 hr of my time waiting for them while one customer and another and another get helped and they ignore me. and just today i recieved a bill from them for $111.93 why because they say im calling long distance and i really dont think long distance is in ur own city maybe long distance bcus their not ur next door neighbor or something because thats what it says on my bill.. it says long distance calls how many how much their charging me for them and my citys name they are sooooo retarted how can i shut my service off without paying them any money bcus they do not deserve anybodys money with the kind of service they have
HORRIFIC SERVICE FROM TMOBILE
I have had continuing problems with Tmobile. I was tempted away from another provider to Tmobile and since then, I have had little or NO phone service -- I have been on the phone with them, on line with their customer service (what a joke) and in their stores -- NO ONE THUS FAR has been able to provide me with service in my own home and when I said, let me out of this contract since you cannot make good on your promises to give me phone service, they simply said, "call someone who cares - like the FAA".... I can't believe it. When I went in to turn in my euqipment and tell them I was not happy within the first 14 days, they begged me to stay with them for a little longer - things were being worked on in my area and they upgraded me to a new phone -- so, I stayed, calling them over and over again and telling them that my service was till not good -- oh, things are being worked on -- SO.... I believed them - stupidly and after the 14 days was up -- guess what -- I was STUCK! Stuck and Stupid -- HOW DO I GET THEM TO CANCEL MY CONTRACT so I can go to a provider who 1) cares and 2) can give me service -- (is there a provider who "cares"?)
T Mobile Sucks
Worst experience ever with tmobile.
Their Cust Service is the worst ever.
Initially I had one yr contract. After finishng first yr , I upgrade to Two yr contract. Now after 1.4 months of second contract (2 yr) I changed my plan to even more plus (No annual contact as per T-mobile misguiding Website) after contacting T-Mobile custmoer services. Customer service advise me that there will not be any annual contact with lines and they charged me $35 for each lines. Now, after 4mnths of changing Plan I wanted to disconnect my Connections , I contacted customer services and ,they told me that I am still on contract and even if u change to Even more plus don't make u out of contract and you need to play $200/line if u want to cancel your account. By doing so I will loose 1000$ becuase of misguiding T MOBILE -services.
TMOBILE no ethics or values.T-MOBILE made me sign a contract saying there is a no Annual contract and now they are Bulls****ting.
Even customer service said at the end ... "Is there anything else I can help you with.....:)"?
No contract plans still have contracts!
I called customer service to cancel our 3 phone lines because we switched to another carrier. Back in Jan, I switched to a "no contract" plan and added a line for my daughter at a rate of $35 for activation but my contract was void and I can cancel at anytime, or so I was told. I was talked into a talk+text+web deal for 139.99 and an extra 10 for the 3rd line. By my math calculations, my bill SHOULD be around 150 + taxes and fees. Well, since Jan I have not had a bill under 225! I call every month and am told the same thing "3rd party vendor fees" I am unsure of what exactly is going on but they need to get their head out of their a**es! To make a long story short, I called today to cancel and was told it will be $600 to cancel. I asked the woman why a "no contract" plan has an ETF and she told me " just because you switched to a no contract plan does not void your prior obligations" my response was what obligations because I switched to this plan in Jan 2010 and was told no contracts and can cancel at ANYTIME! So, now I apparently have a contract until Jan 2012. That only can mean one thing, they give you a contract when you sign up for these "no contract" plans! So she did everything she could to convince me to stay and even suggested I keep the phone lines at the bare minimum of 50 per month until 2012. Does she think I am dumb? If i pay that for the next 14 months that is 700, more expensive than to cancel! And what would I do with the 3 phones? She suggested I give one to my 7 yr old and just put the others away! UM...no, not gonna happen!
T MOBILE BAD
I have had the worst experience ever with tmobile.
Their Cust Service is the worst ever.
I have lost more than 1000$ becuase of T MOBILE,
TMOBILE no ethics or values.
T-MOBILE made me sign a contract saying there is a discount.
But now T-mobile is saying the company is not listed.
And if i want to cancel they are asking for cancellation fee.
Can i take this to court?
Wow. "The in this country
Wow. "The in this country guy" is an annoying person who probably should move back to whatever country is so awesome that he LEFT it!!!! Sometimes there is good reason to want out of a contract!~ Thank God our country has these ways out!
T-Mobile Contract!!
Hi,
I bought T-mobile iphone 3G in Netherlands, i was there 6 months..after that unfortunately i have back to my home country, i went T-mobile shop and enquired about the cancellation procedures but they didnt provided proper answer eventhough i was in a hurry to startup to my home country in that reason i just simply came to my home country with carrying Iphone, can any one tel me whats the processdure of canceling iphone contract?> will they contact me>? or will they complaint? please do let meknow for the same.
Thanks
instead of all this
instead of all this complaining, how bout you just don't pay the breakage fee. these contracts are unethical, ive been with tmobile for many years, and they tried to charge me a break fee when i got a new job and changed my family plan from two phones to just one phone. cancel the subscription, and just dont pay the fee. it might hit your credit, but they wont get your money.
horrible advice
instead....that is horrible advice "just don't pay"
you are the kind of person that causes the rest of us to get hit with high fees and charges, to cover non-paying people like you!! get some backbone. if you sign anything read it in full and don't pretend you didn't understand or can't read.
if you can't read or don't have the backbone to honor a contract, DON'T SIGN UP and you shouldn't have the privilege the rest of us educated people pay dearly to HAVE
They just...
T-mobile just increased my bill by $10. I am on the contract, and I had to pay Migration fee to change it to another plan, so I can have a family plan. Since they increased my bill without authorization, does that means I can terminate my contract?
Upgrades
If I cancel my contract with about 3 months to go, can I still upgrade?
wow so many angry ppl...
wow so many angry ppl...
why people give up t mobile within a month
People give up t mobile because of its fake unlimited plan. they say unlimited text messenging and free calls after 7 but when u use it your bill raises. i am a witness because i used to have t mobile and i had unlimited text and free cass after 7 and by the end of the month may bill was over 1000 dollars so i canceled my account from them.
Why aren't you guys reporting issue to FCC and Attorney General?
I'm tired of the constant rebooting, losing t-mobile emails, mms messages and text messages vanishing and never coming back - and guess what? These are issues that if enough people complain to their attorney general and FCC we might be helped
what a great country we live
what a great country we live in when everyone can come online and complain about cell phone service. I just feel that no service is perfect and everyone is going to have problems somewhere. Technology is not guaranteed in any shape form or fashion, if it was, you would not have extended warranties because there would be no need. It humors me that in this country people can sue a provider over raising fees or charging early termination fees for something that you signed to. If it is really as bad, why not cancel the service and pay the fee. If you continue your service, you are just making yourself upset and racking up more charges, I am sure they add up to way more than the $200 ETF that T-Mobile has. I am a soldier in Afghanistan and I stumbled across this site through google search and while waiting on some family members to come online so I can say "hey" and "miss you" and I just wanted to say God bless America and to thank you all for reminding me why I am spending 15 months away from my family. You have to laugh. Well, I will let everyone get back to their major problems. Thanks for letting me share! :-)
HAHAHA
You are not fighting for us in any shape or fashion you pill head. You are invading another country for oil you dolt. don't ever think you are some kind of hero, you signed up for the service knowing what it was about so don't bitch about it little boy. Take your own advice, you signed up for it so pay the penalty and quit blaming others for your own mistakes. And do not ever say that you are fighting for my freedom, this country hasn't fought a defensive war in ages. Get your head out of your ass.
Real mature way of talking to
Real mature way of talking to a soldier that "YES" contrary to what you may THINK (yes I said think) is defending our freedom. If this war was not taken over there, then it would have come here to our homes. Remember 9/11, or are you one of those complete imbeciles that thinks that the government set that up. That hero was not complaining about what he is doing, he is complaining about retards like you that sign a contract and then complain that you can't get out of the contract. If you want someone to be mad at blame the government, not the soldiers. They don't have any say in where they are going, all they do is what they are told. So why jump down his throat about it? It just shows how uneducated you really are!!!
God bless America
Thank You for your service to our country, I live near the 29 Palms marine base. You guys make ma and my family proud. If you like desert rock music. listen for free at my YouTube channel. http://www.youtube.com/user/chiefdavidOK

and looky you sonny boy.. wasting tax $$ jus sitting on ur ass typin on computer.. go do ur job pussy boy!!! kill something for christ sake....ur the reason this country is shit.. u lazy complaining nagger. in the army..or whatever fuk svc ur in
You really are showing how
You really are showing how uneducated this country really is. So this guy is overseas defending your freedom and he isn't allotted any free time so that he can talk to his loved ones. It is free loaders like you that has caused this country to fall in this downward spiral. Why don't you get off your lazy a$$ and join the military and be a man for once, instead of hiding behind a computer screen!
Whoa big guy
For one its pieces of shit like you that lack education that make our country shit. Why dont you get the hell of unemployment and get a real job and stop messing with people that are doing this country a service, while you sit on your lazy ass.

T-Mobile rip off
Well, add me to the list of folks ripped off by t-mobile. I added 2 accounts to my main line nearly 2 years ago only to find that they have no record of these accounts ever having 5 faves free to call #s) and have recently received a bill for over 800$. No record, even after the line was activated with the faves at the time the service began, nobody put that in a computer ever? I saw the rep do it. They claimed it was because our phones are older, does that make our account info disappear? They said we did not check it online every month to make sure our faves were in place, since when does a person have to double check that a company hasn't decided to change everything about your account, as it suits the company. Lousy customer service admitted they should have had the info and reduce the bill to 400$, like that fixes their rip-off. Check the online info every month because apparently they are too moronic to maintain their databases, except where it suits them financially. Reported this to the BBB.
Quit complaining.
Do you guys understand what a contract it? "I want out, and the won't let me." You signed your name on a LEGALLY BINDING CONTRACT. You think T-Mobile sucks? That's your problem. All cell phone companies SUCK. I was with verizon on the 60$ a month, unlimited texts & like, 450 minutes. They were charing me over 150 fuckin dollars. So, I think that's worse. & Metro PCS, if you pay in person there's like a three dollar transaction fee? Not so amazing when you walked about five miles to pay you fuckin bill with the 50 DOLLARS THEY SAID IT WOULD BE, then they turned my phone off, and turned it back on without me payin and charged me over 100 dollars the next month. So quit your bitchin. Cell phone companies are all unfucking reliable. GET OVER IT.
If you complained
If you complained (constructively) to the right people, everyone wouldn't have to "get over it" for years. But since everyone comes online to complain instead of being productive, I guess we'll all just keep our crappy plans for awhile longer until ya'll wake up.
New Forum
Forum.sidekickfail.com has recently been created as an open and neutral place for sidekick customers to exchange ideas and vent without the fear of their valuable thoughts, ideas, and opinions being deleted and disrespected as T-Mobile has been doing on their forums.
Seriously?
Wow... So much anger that buddy. its a freaking cell phone for goodness sake! and its not T-Mobile that lost all your information on your sidekick, its Microsoft so if you would like to voice your opinion somewhere where it would actually matter, talk to microsoft. T-Mobile provides the cell phone services with talk and text, but the data is provided by them. keep that in mind the next time you want to go off about a product. Plus T-Mobile has offered a credit to all its sidekick users for the outage, why don't you stop whining and call them for that credit, but be nice to the rep that answers because its at their discretion and if you call in with this attitude problem, im sure they will tell you to shove it. http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/10/10/t-mobile-sidekick-disaster-microsofts-servers-crashed-and-they-dont-have-a-backup/
For this person below 'Fools On September 1st, 2009 Damian'
The only one acting like a "baby" or a "fool" is you. Congratulations, you've been with T-mobile for 7 years without a problem! Wow. You're pathetic! And really no one cares. I've been with T-mobile for 2 years and have the sidekick. I LOVED this phone up until it would reboot constantly and now this major problem where i've lost everything on my phone including my pictures in my device album, to do list, over 500 contacts, important notes, etc. Anyone i know that has a sidekick has the same problem. I'm completely DONE with this phone and can't stand it. If i can throw it into a wall, i totally would. But for by sake to have a somewhat reliable phone, i'll keep it in one piece. The customer service is pretty good for t-mobile. i agree. They can only do so much. Majority of the time i can't even understand them because they are either talking too loud, too soft, or they mumble. Now as for their service?- it absolutely SUCKS! I can be in my family room talking on the phone, walk 15 steps to my kitchen, and i have no service and my call is dropped. its ridiculous. Everyone who has a sidekick knows what im talking about so i can vouch for them. And who says "irresponsible kids" and brings up parents? I am VERY responsible. I go to school, have 2 jobs, and pay for all my shit. What do u do? sit on the computer and talk about "immature kids"? Do you even know what "Idiocracy" means? And no, don't give yourself credit "mr. smart man". Because you're officially a dumb ass. You're ranting and raving about collections and going up against a big company for our stupidity. It's actually NOT our stupidity. It's Microsoft/Danger. They've TOTALLY lost all of our data, after they were suppose to have a back up that failed. I've never been so angry with t-mobile till now. I've always complained to them about my phone rebooting out of the blue and they would never give me a good reason as to why it would do such a thing. So they would just send me a refurbished phone, when the phone itself isn't cheap.
So im pretty sure "mr. smart man" you can take you "idiocracy" and shove it because t-mobile and this phone is junk when they're so expensive and so cheaply made! and im completely unsatisfied with their service. And im pretty sure people know what collections are. so you just explaining it makes you look even more Imbecilic. I've put so much money into this phone, like them telling me to buy another battery so it doesn't keep rebooting, which was a total waste of money. It kept rebooting still. So STFU, stick to your crappy t-mobile 7 years, and shove it. because im sure me and millions of others will be switching to spring/verizon/at&t or any other company. No one wants to hear your opinion because you're the one sounding irresponsible "mr. smart man" NO ONE CARES :) :) :)
t_mobile is absolutely horrible
t-mobile has lame service overall but i do have to disagree that there customer service is quite good. i mean they work with what the tools their given. theres not much they can do except try to keep us happy.i do agree that we should switch our carriers to something more reliable like Verizon. i cant wait til my contract is up. im going to be sad to say goodbye to my sidekick phone.im very fed up with damn trouble shooting. at the moment i cant even access my email nor on their website which iis a big inconvenience.i got a 5$ credit for this?wow huh?well im not sure what im ranting on about but i cant wait til january to sign on with verizon.
I have all text messages
I have all text messages blocked, but one came through and they are charging me for it! 15 cents is not much, but if they did it once they will do it again!
Fools
You all sound so irresponsible. I've been with T-Mobile for almost 7 years now and I've never had a problem that they couldn't fix for me. You all seem to be crying like little babies because you are irresponsible kids and your parents haven't taught you how to manage yourselves. It's easy to see that "Idiocracy" is well on it's way. For those of you who think you are going to contest the big company for your stupidity, you should think more long term. If you decide not to pay what you owe them... and I'm pretty sure that you more than likely owe them due to your slander of the company written with not only bad spelling but bad grammar... the company will then take you to collections. "What is...collections Mr. Smart Man?" Collections means that they are going to send a collection agency after the money which puts a black spot on what credit report you have if any... If you don't have any credit at this time then you certainly aren't going to get credit any time soon. So kids... be smart... don't be like all these fools that default on their loans or don't pay back what they owe because they purchased something they knew they couldn't afford in the first place. REALLY! MAN UP TO YOUR OBLIGATIONS QUIT BUYING YOUR DAILY WANTS AND PAY YOUR FUCKING DEBT!
I think you need to relex!!!!
You rant that everyone is a baby but you surely display an act of a child yourself. T-Mobile in whole actually does suck and it's security flaws are proof alone. You don't hear about Verizon or Sprint being hacked and comprimised do you??
Be a man and fess up to being just like the rest of us a big FUCKING BABY!!!!
to Damian who wrote fools
Tmobile is not a good company. I hate that fact that you insult people like it is there fault. You know what Tmobile is a ripp off who say you pass your minutes but in reality you did not. Like seriously the service is even bad. My sidekick has been giving me problems since I got it. It was a big mistake to get it. The phone is wack the service sucks and plus I manage my minutes very well and once they started charging me for my fave 5 and i realized there was something wrong and i called and got it fix so tmobile does mistakes . They are a rip off and they suck. I am for sure canceling my plan and going to verizon or sprint.
cancel plan without panalty fee
I’m experiencing all sorts of problems with T Mobile, my contract should expire in six months but I don’t want to keep paying for something that doesn’t work. Do you have any suggestion for me, I try to change the phone, battery, SMS card filed several reports but nothing helps.
for damian
That's not true a lot of ppl are very responsible when it comes to there phone and they still manage to get messed up like my phone tmobile is shitt they suck they can't fix shit either I have gone through so many freakingg troubleshooting on my phone and nothing has ever changed I don't pay that extra 5.99 a month for fucking insurance for no reason and tmobile won't seem to let me use it there solution is we can fix is bullshit cause they can't and haven't I'm stuck with a crappy phone for 6more months thanks to that lame ass company then I'm out to verizon thank god.
Seriously?
Your the one sounding like an idiot. Who talks to people like that they don't even know. You need serious communication help. You did not even make a valid point. If you don't have a problem you should not be so involved with others who do. You are probably some lame ass who works for a collection company...Seriously

T-Mobile Contract!
I am really screwed by t-mobile.$90.oo almost for text messages! No way hose.I called three to four times to cancel the contract.But smart guys are sticking in me all the time.May be I need an attorney(if I could afford).What a deep sinking hole I am into? Is this the way you make your living?
Dude you can buy 400 masages
Dude you can buy 400 masages a month for $4.99 or unlimited for $15.00 a month. Why do you have to pay $90.00. You can add them any time to your monthly plan dought. Just call 611 from your cell and ask them
tax increase
hey, after this text sms increase arguements last year, in july 2009 i have recieved a letter indicating that there is going to be tax increase of 2.50 due to high costs....e.g and i am curious if i can use it for adverse thing..
Does anybody know and help me please.. Thanks--
this is crap
so, I've been getting charged something completely bs the past few weeks.
it's a substantial amount, and I haven't had a plan with T-mobile for literally more than 10 minutes before going back to the kiosk and cancelling the plan and order. I was given free phones was told about a 34.99 unlimited text plan I believe; and yet I was coaxed into getting it by a friend and a very annoying sales rep. I felt horribly guilty that I was going for a plan after tallying it up and realizing i probably couldn't pay the fees and what not, so I returned it within 10 minutes [a substantially shorter amount of time rather than the 14 days they give you to return without fees].
but, I've been issued notices to pay them an amount to which they tell me isn't being charged for minutes over-spent, no fees, no charges or monthly charges- only that the balance is this specific amount and that I should probably pay them
... I'm pretty sure I don't have to pay this- I returned the phones the same day and was told there was no fee, as well as receiving these letters.. oh; two months after I got and cancelled it.
I have been a pay-as-you go "minutes" sort of customer of T-mobile under a different account because I figured plans were bad..
well, go figure
look what happened when I had it for 10 minutes
my question is how to solve this predicament; personally it'd be wonderful if I could email someone about it; but I believe the phone is the only way..
MY CONTRACT IS TO FINISH IN

I AM THRILLED!!! I DID IT!!! I GOT OUT OF MY CONTRACT!!!!
I HAVE BEEN A TMOBILE CUSTOMER FOR OVER ONE YEAR NOW. OUT OF THE 13 MONTHS IVE BEEM WITH TMOBILE, 10 OF THE MONTHS GAVE ME ISSUES.... I THINK I UNDERSTAND THE COMPANY MORE THAN HALF THE PEOPLE WHO WORK THERE..... HONESTLY, THEY HAVE NO CLUE.... I AM SO TIRED OF HEARING THE SAME PHRASE OVER AND OVER AGAIN. " I AM SO SORRY FOR WHAT YOURE GOING THROUGH." MY FAVORITE IS, " I UNDERSTAND"... YEAH RIGHT, I UNDERSTAND YOU GET A BIG DISCOUNT ON YOUR PHONE BILL EVERY MONTH.... I WONDER, IS TMOBILE HIRING???? LOL!!! ANYWAY, PROBLEM AFTER PROBLEM, BETWEEN TECHNIAL ISSUES, PHONE ISSUES, AND THE NUMBER ONE ISSUE... MY MINUTES BEING DEPLETED FROM MY MYFAVES... I RECENTLY UPGRADED TO THE GRAVITY... (LOVE IT SO FAR).. OF COURSE, I FINALLY ADDED INTERNET TO MY PHONE, GUESS WHAT? TECHNICAL ISSUE.... I COULDNT TAKE IT ANYMORE. I CALLED TMOBILE AND SPOKE TO FIRST REP, HE DIDNT HAVE A CLUE WHAT HE WAS DOING NEVERTHELESS HOW TO HELP ME... I TOLD HIM TO GET ME TO A MANAGER,,,,,,, I WAITED AND WAITED PATIENTLY... THE MANAGER WAS BUSY , SO I WAS DIRECTED TO A SUPERVISOR. HE KNEW LESS THEN THE FIRST REP I SPOKE TOO. I BASICALLY GAVE HIM A RUN DOWN OF HIS JOB AND WHAT I WAS ENTITLED TOO. IVE DONE SO MUCH RESEARCH WITH THE CONTRATCS BUT I ALWAYS CAME TO A DEAD END... I FOUND A SOULTION.... FINALLY THE SUPERVISOR TRANSFERED ME OVER TO A MANAGER.. THIS ONE SPOKE MY LANGUAGE.. AT FIRST HE WAS A BIT HESITANT, BUT HE RAN DOWN MY TMOBILE HISTORY WITH ALL THE ISSUES I HAD AND AFTER ALMOST 2 HOURS ON THE PHONE, I WAS LEGALLY MADE INTO A MONTH TO MONTH CUSTOMER.... THAT'S RIGHT I AM NO LONGER BINDED BY CONTRACT.... I WILL STAY WITH TMOBILE FOR THE TIME BEING, BUT AT LEAST I HAVE THE OPTION TO SWITCH CARRIES ONCE IM READY TO LEAVE... FOR THE TIME BEING I WANT TO ENJOY MY NEW PHONE..... IF YOU ARE STUCK IN A SITUATION LIKE MINE, YOU MUST OF COURSE HAVE A FEW ERROS MADE BY TMOBILE BEFORE U CAN PLEAD YOUR CASE.... THEY WILL DO EVERYTHING IN THEIR POWER TO IGNORE THE TERMINATION CONVERSATION... YOU FIGHT AND TELL THEM, YOU ARE NOT HAPPY AND THEY MUST HELP YOU BECAUSE THAT IS NOT WHAT YOU SIGNED UP FOR WHEN YOU AGREED TO CONTRACT...... KEEP INSISTING, I PROMISE, SOMEONE WILL HEAR YOU. DONNOT GIVE UP.... ONE MORE THING, IF YOU KEEP HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE SAME PHONE, THEY ARE OBLIGATED TO HAVE TO UPGRADE YOU TO A NEWER MODEL...... I BELIEVE ITS AFTER THE THIRD PHONE, THEN YOU QUALIFY FOR A NEW MODEL........... IF SOMEONE TELLS YOU KNOW, THEN TELL THEM U WANT TO SPEAK TO SOMEONE WHO WILL SAY YES.. REMEMBER.... IT'S THEIR JOB TO KEEP YOU HAPPY...... SINCERLY, A VICTORIUS CUSTOMER......
Thats what you think. Try
Thats what you think. Try cancelling that month to month and then say you are victorious. Just curious if you are truly out of your contract. Write again after you cancel.
termination of service
My son and I bought 2 blackberry curve 8320 phones on christmas eve 2008. Everything was great untill T-Mobile sent me a letter today stating that they were terminating our service agreement due to the majority of my calls were while roaming on another carriers tower. I have a 700 minute bundle pkg with my son & we never go over our assigned minutes. We also have the unlimited internet pkg. We do not want out of our agreement but they said "too bad" there's nothing they can do. They are ending my service on July 7, 2009. T-Mobile has stores in both neighboring towns but (according to them) I roam too much. Do you know of anybody that can help us? We are not looking for anything except fair treatment. We are keeping up with our end of the agreement & yet we were told we have untill the deadline next month to find another service provider or do without our phone. We are currently out of work due to our companies closure & can't afford more deposits. Thank you for your time.
I just got the same
I just got the same termination notice. I have the family plan 4 lines 1800 minutes, blackberry enterprise and unlimited internet. I have been a customer from the same address for 5 years, NEVER have I been late on my payments and the nearest store is 6 miles away. But today, I get a notice they are cancelling my daughter's line due to excessive roaming. When I called to ask about it, the rep tells me they have mailed out over 200,00 of these letters. Believe me, I will be cancelling my contract for all 4 lines, telling EVERYONE I know about T-Mobile's treatment of a good customer, and I will never use T-Mobile again. So if this was an effort to bolster the bottom line, I believe it will backfire on them.
Waive ETF for another reason
I am a military customer and I recently called T-Mobile (May 2009) in order to cancel my account because I was going back to Afghanistan and I had NO idea how long my deployment would be. Last time, they suspended my account while I was out of the states, yet I didn't want to do that this time because I had no idea how long it would be. So when I came back, huge surprise. The representative transferred me to another department and they offered me a few deals, but I declined them all. They cancelled my account without an early termination fee on the spot and it was the easiest thing I had to do. I didn't have to fax any documentation either. Thanks, T-Mobile. When I come back, I'm going to start new service when I come back to the states again!
T-Mobile Business Service in California, unethical, horrible
Beware cell phone business customers in California, particularly in Los Angeles California. As with other posters here, we have found that T-mobile's business service in California is Horrible. We went through the first year with 50% of the phones defective. Then, T-mobile issued new phones as replacements, charged "tax" on the phones then charged them the full amount on the bill after promising they were free. they finally, after much protest, credited the overcharges then said hey, we gave you a credit! Their reps lied about contract term lengths, then when we thought the term was up, they informed us that no, we had another year tacked on! We tried to escalate but no one will respond. You are essentially on your own. And when you try to get support center help, they steer you back to the unethical lying California sales team. Here is their business plan: 1. Greed 2. Lock your company into a two year term plan! Basically they suck all of your money and bind you to them. They're especially good at mixing up your multi site expiration dates so that going 100% to a new carrier will be awfully difficult. Buyer beware!
Stay away from T-Mobile business Services!
Darren P.
the same thing happened to me
I had service with t-mobile for 2 years then, when my contract was a week away from ending theycharged me an ETF early termination fee and told me my contract wasn't over for another year. I told them they were crazy and I wasn't gonna pay they sent my bill to collections within 2 weeks of trying to resolve this problem. But now I'm involved in a class action law suit against them for this problem go on line to Info@etf-settlement.com and read about it. If youre not involved yet. I feel your pain.
G-1 phone from T-mobile
I have had the G-1 phone 3 months. We have 2 on or plan.T-mobile has replaced 1 of them 2 times,and 1, 1 time. We still have the same problems with them. I have asked T-mobile to give back the money for the phones and let me out of my contract, because they did not give me the service they claim to provide. They refuse, I feel I have gave them every opportunity to make it right, they refuse. I would like to ask that if other are having problems that we get togeather and file a class action lawsuit against them.
Cancel
Call Customer Service by dialing 611 and tell them you're a military customer and you'd like to cancel because you're being deployed for a long time and decline suspension.

tmobil customer service and sales and phones service are crap
our society needs to do something about t-mobil,i myself and my family are victims of tmobil fradulent customer and sales service from feb 2009 to march 2009 this year i had spoken to 25 rep in two weeks and still none of them have a clue what they are doing and when i changed the service due to lies,frustration,transfer to several idiots who ask the same questions,get us a deal that dosent exist,the next day,the next day,and so on and then send us a 3000 dollar bills and told us we have discounts and why do we have such a large bill,then they told us,we see why,then have the guts to send us several bills that looks like 3 house mortgages,makes several mistakes and when we told them they keep on saying ok we will fix it,i have proof here all the bills the fake contracts they put together,no receipts for our phones that they sent us and when we returned them,they said the did not received then,when the ups guy said they signed for them and he got a signature...what a joke,then illegally terminated the service without no reason send us a phony monthly family bill of 500 dollars when they first tell us our monthly bill was going to be 130 dollars.now tell me these problems are why its going to get worse and they keep on doing it to quite a few people....
8 days of hell
I just last night started up an account online with tmobil, two phones, unlimited texting, 1000 minutes, with insurance on one of the phones. I got my two phones the next day and spent almost an hour with tech suport, trying to set a speed dial on the razor phone. The tech person transferred me to another person who was supposed to be part of the advanced trouble shooting team and spent almost another hour with him. Eventually, I was told that the software programming must be corrupt and that I should send it back for a replacement.
Just for ha ha`s, I made another call later that day and again the next day to see if I might get someone who could track down the glitch and send my phone an update. To make a long story short, i boxed it up and sent it on its way via ups. when i got home i called them again to tell them i did not want another razor, that i wanted a different phone. i gave them the tracking number so they could be sure it had been dropped off to be returned so they would process the shipment of the replacement phone. I get the new phone the next day along with another razor. i had to send that one back as well. The first phones i got were already activated, mine and my daughters. the replacement phone i got was not so i called the number for activations and had my phone activated at 9:00am give or take. later my daughter comes home from school telling me that her phone stopped working before lunch at school. i call support again with this problem, eventually being told to go to a tmobil store and get a new sim card. so when i get to the store the person gives her a new sim and activates her phone for free. we thanked him and left the store only to find that i began getting txt messages from her friends. we go back into the store and while we were waiting, my phone stops working. the man at the store eventually comes to the conclusion that tmobil had put the wrong sims in our phones that were first sent to me. now, i have my new replacement phone which is an ericsson, my daughter has the origional phone sent with the first razor which was defective. my phone has a new imei number and sim that does not match the defective razors imei number. i understand why her phone stops working when i tell tmobil that im sending back the defective razor but what does that have to do with my new phone quitting at the store?? THEN i find out, at the store, that the insurance was showing up registered to my phone, which has totally different identification numbers, both the sim and imei, and a different phone to boot!! and finally, get this one!!! today before i decided to post this, i find out that i had and account with tmobil five years ago that is in collections!! i had another carrier with three phones and 2200 min for the last 4 and a half years, which i cancelled because of too many network issues, charges for internet usages even though this was turned off , before that, i never needed a cell phone. i have put an attorney to work on this and since the fifth (today is the 13 th), i am so dissatisfied already and after reading the posts here, i have 5 days to decide to go cellphoneless again...!!!d/dt.#ih
I love them!
Wow I never knew so many people hated T-mobile, I've had them since 04 and love them I would not go to any other service provider, I have had sprint and qwest in the past and both of these companies always seemd to surprise me with a huge bill that caused me to cancel my service with them. T-mobile has great plans and they are very affordable other companies are way more expensive and you dont get too much with them =(. I have a 1500 min plan for 49.99 I got it as a special =) I have a blackberry curve unlimited email and texting & mobile to mobile all for about $106 a month including taxes WoW!! My plan is definately a perfect fit for me, other companies would charge over $100 for that many minutes + other features you need. Everytime I call I've always had great customer service not to mention the bonus minutes they give you to help you from paying extra money for any overage charges. My service is great, havent been to too many place but in the East i get great coverage the same as I do at home so I really dont know what all the fuss is about? But whatever!!
if i cancel my contract will t-mobile report me?
i have been with t mobile since june of 2008. its now january of 2009 and i am sick of them and the way they put scams on people. my phone bill be very high for no reason and when i travel to a different part of Georgia my phone loses signal. I JUST WANT TO BE OUT OF THE CONTRACT WITH T MOBILE COULD SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS SITUATION AND EMAIL ME BACK AT STANFORDSTEPHANIE252@YAHOO.COM. PLEASE HEP ME I NEED HELP I WANT OUT WITH BAD BECAUSE ITS JUST DRIVING ME CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes they will report you.
Yes they will report you.
If you have an actual reason
If you have an actual reason to cancel your service, do not bother with customer care. You will just be going through loopholes. I suggest submitting a complaint through the BBB. I submitted one in July and heard back just recently. However, I am out of my two year contract with a year that was left. Good luck.
STUCK WITH ETF AND HAD NO COVERAGE AND SIM CARD FAILED
I HAVE BEEN A TMOBILE CUSTOMER FOR SEVERAL YEARS RECENTLY I COULD NOT USE MY PHONE I WAS SUCKERED INTO BUYING NOKIA7510 WIFI PHONES WAS TOLD THEY WOULD WORK WITH MY DSL BUT THEY DIDNT MY SIM CARD ALWAYS SAID SIM CARD FAILED WAS PROMISED 2 50.00 VISA CARDS TOWARD THE PURCHASE OF THE PHONES RECEIVED ONE OF THEM NEVER GOT THE OTHER I CALLED TONITE TO CANCEL FIRST TIME I ASKED ABOUT ETF FEE IT WAS 200.00 NOW THEY WANT 400.00 FOR THE 2 LINES I THINK THIS IS VERY WRONG WHAT GOOD IS A CELL PHONE YOU CANT USE UNLESS YOU ARE IN TOWN HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD THIS PROBLEM????
t-mobile sucks connection error rip off
I hate t-mobile too. My experience has to do the G1 and the "connection error" issue for email. T-Mobile has known about this problem for months. Have they alerted customers? No. Hell No. When I talked to a T-Mobile tech support guy he said this was a "known issue." When I tried to get out of my contract because the phone they sold me is a defective piece of .... they said that it would cost me $200.
So then I asked to be given a comparable phone...that would cost me an additional $110 bucks. So, feeling a bit stuck, I agreed. Then I went online and read the review of the Samsung Behold. It's not anything like the G1. So I called T-Mobil back within an hour to cancel the order and was told...
now get this...."we will try to cancel the order." TRY!!! What are they morons!
This company is a rip off. And as far as the "connection error" issue. It smells like a class action fraud suit to me. Some law firm could make a lot of money going after the deep pockets of this slimy company.
I am buying an I-phone tomorrow :)
Hi, does anyone know if
Hi, does anyone know if there is a similar rate change that may be currently applicable? I'm trying to get out of my contract with T-mobile but I may be a few months too late when it comes to the text message rate change. Any advice would be appreciated!
No coverage
I moved to a new house in Atlanta, GA. The house is inside the city. However the house's building material is preventing my cell from reaching Tmobile's towers. However, my boyfriend has AT&T and has coverage. I asked if Tmobile could send me the hotspot package since they do not have an ETA on the building of a tower in my area for no charge. Tmobile would not do that. I then asked well I need to be let out of my contract so that I can get service. I was denied early termination. Nevermind the fact this is 2009 and I have been with them since 2001. I do fear for my safety in my new place. I prey I will not need my cellular in an emergency as I will not be able to reach anyone.
t mobile screwing me over
it is using my minutes to take to the people on my fav 5. they said they would fix it and call me take and they never fixed it or called me back. we called them about 20 times now in the past month and the problem still isn't fixed. they suck, im about to cancel service with them because they don't know how to fix problems. any one who is planning being with t mobile, DO NOT GO WITH T MOBILE, THEY WILL SCREW YOU OVER AND DENY EVERYTHING
Me too hate them. T mobile
Us too my husbands phone stopped paying the bill no work and spent really 80hr since signing 2007. Email me. lcarson360@msn.com
me tooooooo
I'm having the same problem. If i hadn't noticed it they would never have told me. They keep giving me more minutes, but i'm still not satisfied. Did you get any feed back??????
cancel within 30 days
Aren't most other contracts 30 day trial period? Not them-I call at 25 days just to say I don't like the phone YOUR REP recommended is not working for me because I cannot see right way if I have missed a call, so my I exchange. NOOOOOO, because it was 14 days. Please, how can you decide in 2 weeks. And it would have been different if I had bought the phone in the store and I have been a customer for 6 years. NEVER AGAIN T MOBILE DOWN FOREVER!!!!
Yes! They were on my bill
Yes! They were on my bill also. What have you done about it?
TMOBILE BOGUS DIRECTORY ASSISTANCE CHARGES
My last T-mobile bill contained 3 directory assistance charges all made within 1 minute.
I never made these calls. The kicker is they charge $1.79 US for each call?
Is any one else getting jacked like this?
International calling rate increase from 10/21/08
I just realised there is a text message rate increase a couple of days ago as they did not charge the new rate in september billing (i have message plan but do send message to other countries and was only charged 0.15). I believe they did this because they don't want anyone to notice the increase in september (because you still have 30 days to cancel after aug 29th).
Anyway i sent a international message couple of days ago (10/14/08) and received a tmobile msg almost immediately saying " Int'l discounted calling now available for $5.00/month. Basic per country rate will increase as of 10/21/08. Go to my.t-mobile.com for more details"
I called to cancel my service using the increased rate for international. I spoke to a CSR and she had no clue what I'm saying, she put me on hold and said the rate is increased by their affiliation and not tmobile. I then tried to explain that im still going to be charged by tmobile and rate is going to be different than what I signed up for. I then asked for a supervisor and she said the rate is not increasing and don't know where im getting this message from. She said she can't find any info in this and I couldn't find any information pertaining this in their site either (probably they wont notify until the period to cancel is ended) I'm not sure what to do next since I can't find any information on the rate increase other than the message in my phone. Would bringing my phone to the tmobile service center help in this matter? does anyone received this message in their phone as well? any help will be appreciated.
T-Mobile says the increase is not a "materially adverse" change
I used the sample script and read the contract terms to two different CSR and got nowhere with this complaint. I got to a manager who simply said that their legal department has notified them that this is not a materially adverse change since it is not part of my recurring monthly bill. I argued that the rate increase clearly falls under the "any other charge" clause. The manager said my only recourse was to write their legal department and gave an address as they do not accept phone correspondence. I don't know if I should just cancel my contract and dispute the ETF or continue with customer service and get a resolution before cancelling. Has anyone successfully argued the materially adverse change for the international rate increase?
T-mobile wont cancel
We tried it 3 times and they wouldn't cancel. Even though I call to Germany quite frequently. One of the supervisors really pissed me off, he said that international calling was an optional feature. Well, I have the phone so I can talk to my family, who happen to live in Germany, so no, it is NOT optional for me. I got his supervisor on the phone and canceled anyways!!! We just got new phones on the t-mobile plan, so those are now going up on ebay to pay for the ETF's. Now we got iPhones with AT&T, their international discount plan is cheaper than t-mobiles.
I got the same message
I got the same message, I think it was tuesday. I call Germany frequently, so I was wondering how much that darn increase would be. I want to cancel t-mobile due to the rate increase, could not find anything on their website about it and was in a chat session with one of their CSR's who had no clue what the heck I am talking about. Frustrating crap!!! So when it starts on 10/21 how long do we have to cancel???? I took a screenshot from their website with the current rates and i will take one when they change so I have proof that they changed.
I got it too

T-Mobile's Service "SUCKS"
Hello Everyone,
I have been having the hardest time with T-mobile. I have never had so many drop calls in one month, better yet one day. I will spend at least a hour trying to make a phone call from my cell phone. Everytime I complain to T-Mobile, they want to trouble shoot. If they are not trouble shooting, the want to offer you additional minutes. I have 2000 minutes why the hell would I need additional minutes. All I want is the minutes I pay for. I feel as though T-Moblie is breaching the contract that they have with their customers who are paying for a service that they unable to use.
It is not fair for the customers' to call into their customer care center or walk into their stores and be treated unfairly. If we were not paying our bills on time, they would not waist time to shut out service off and report to the credit bureau. I have had enough of T-Mobiles bull. I am tired of their sarcastic customer service their inability to help. They have tried to tell me that it could be my phone, well I three different phones that uses the T-Mobile SIM card and I get the same drop calls. Again I am tired of T-Mobiles bull. I pay my bills on time so I should not be having this problem with my phone.
I asked to drop the contract and I was told no and was not given any other option to my solution. I have been disrespected, hung up on and called a liar in so many words by their customer care. I was even told that I drop my phone too much when I visited one of their stores. You can only change you SIM card once or their is a $20.00 fee for that service. If anyone is considering a class action suit, please let me know of the steps that I need to follow.
Thanks to T-Mobile, I almost lost my Fiance.
dropped calls
i have the same issue with tmobile. i have tried everything. we renewed, regretfully, around this time last year. i had troubles with my phone in the summer and was going out of town. they mailed me two or three replacements all of them were faulty. then they wanted me to waited for another shipped out and we don't have a landline and i have chronic illnessses so i asked if i could get the same phone, new so it will work, at a store. they said no despite the fact that i just had chemo treatments and am being left with no phone for emergencies. i complained to a higher up and they gave me a bb at almost no cost. but thru the year i have had two different routers for hotspot at home. and at my cost thinking a better router would give me better signal in house. the dropped calls have gotten chronically worse that i have been cut off with business and medical contacts. i have tried their troubleshooting and was told that it is the area and an enhancement for the service is noted and will take at least 120 days. that is four months. i called to ask that i cancel service without penalty and was told no and we could do some more troubleshooting. the phone dropped connection 3-4 times and loyalty customer service rep had to call me back each time and ignored it. that day i had like 13-15 droped calls and half the time my bb doesn't even switch to uma so my minutes don't rack up. i, we should not have to pay or be forced to stay with a corp. that cannot provide decent service. the rep said they don't garanntee service. is she for real? if youd like to write me back, let me know.
TMobile Sucks
I had the exact same experience as you today.
TMobile Sucks
I had the exact same experience as you today.
I've had T-mobile for 6
I've had T-mobile for 6 years. I've had only a few issues. What part of the county do you live in? VISTA??? -- There's no cell coverage in certain areas of Vista for ANY cell provider (AT&T/TMobile/Verizon/etc). The customer service Tier I people can't do much for you, ask for a supervisor, or better yet, go to a Tmobile store and see what they can do. I had a issue with a W490 phone (went through 3 of them in a month, all with the same manufacturer's defect), I got upgraded to a ROKR E8 ($199 upgrade) for free after I went to the top. They want to keep you as a customer. Sim card issues can occur, but rarely, and when they do it's all or nothing.
Quit crying class action suit, when you need to just man up and get them to fix it. If you whine and moan, or threaten class action BS on the phone-- they won't deal with you as you already inclined to be a problem. Hit up the Tmobile store on Balboa as the folks there will do sim card swaps free for you to get up in running.
Quit crying so much, and you Fiance won't leave you! :^P
They manager told me she will not cancel
I talked to a csr they were no help what so ever (today 9-11-01) I jst found out about this increse I ask to talk to a manager the manager tells me I recived a notice I tell her no i did not! She is VERY RUDE in telling me that the rate changes are not a big problem for me because I dont text much WHAT???? I text enough to tell you I do not agree to these changes (I text about 50 or so per month, no messeging bundle) I told her DO NOT TELL ME what is significant to me or not that is for me to decide NOT YOU, she hardly lets me talk then claims I am interupting her anyhow I told her I want to talk to a supervisor not her, (at no point did I yell or cuss I was very professional) I also informed her I know my rights and I am not an idiot. She tells me I had to call before the 29th in order to cancel!!! I told her not to tell me that agian because I found out TODAY! not before the 29th (which was only 1 or 2 weeks ago) I know my rights I know a breach of contract when I see one I did not recive a rate increse notice. She Tells me I probly threw it away (yea because I guess she knows me right) Anyhow she will not cancle my contract whatsoever Im not sure what to do at this point I am supposed to get a call from a supervisor withen 24hours but I doubt that will happen ANY suggustions????? please e-mail me hjl22@getgraphix.com
I totally understand you!
Like I mentioned in my previous post, I asked for the supervisor and she was very rude and started yelling at me. I was very calm and tried to be nice all the time but then she ended up asking me what I wanted and I said I wanted to cancel my contract and she said "Your contract will be canceled with ETF!" and she hung up!!??!!
I was stunned by how rude she was. Since I was being nice and I got that kind of result, I was pissed off and called back again (and at the time my phone didn't work any more). I informed them of how I was treated and they transferred me here and there and my line got lost. So I called again and it happened that my lines were lost 3 times before I finally found someone that would listen to me.
I explained of what was going on and I had been on the line for about 2 hours and no one could help. At last I got to talk to someone who's very nice and she apologized for what I've experienced and got me out without ETF. About 2 and a half hour before everything was done. They gave me tons of excuses but you have to be firmed and call back, that's all I can suggest. Be patient. Good Luck.
JEWEL PLEASE REPLY
Jewel,
I am extremely interested in getting rid of my contract by using the text message price change excuse. BUT I have a texting plan that allows for 300 texts a month then I must pay the flat rate there after. Can I still call them and tell them I don't want the contract anymore due to the price change in texting?
Hanna
IT DEFINITELY WORKS BUT ONLY UNTIL 20 AUG 2008....ACT FAST
I was able to get it to work on 12 Aug 08. I cancelled my contracts after a contentious phone call earlier in the day that they were going to charge me $400 for cancelling two months and seven months of a contract. The T-Mobile customer service representative informed me that it would end on 20 Aug 08. He did ask where I heard about the information, and I told him online. I didn't even have to use the methods below to send a message to myself. Good luck to everyone!!
August 20th
I think that T-mobile reps are being told to say "August 20th". In all the research I have done-AND talking with T-mobile reps in the past-about the same thing-everything and everyone indicated that you have 30 days from the date of the bill representing the change in text. They cannot hold you to the contract and say you had to cancel by August 20th-when they haven't even started billing for the increase yet. To be honest-I don't think they have a leg to stand on regarding this. Think on it-you cannot decline something that you don't have yet. The only reason that we have been able to cancel without the ETF is because we know about it ahead of time. There will be many that will not know about the increase until after their bill comes in. I can't see them being able to make the ETF stick without any physical proof that they received knowledge of the increase before the first billing cycle. Remember-I went through this already-and they told me I had 30 days from the time of the first bill showing the increase.
I am NOT saying to wait to cancel your contract...By all means-cancel when you read this-don't wait!!! I am putting this out there for those who may not see this until after August 20th. I hope this helps!

Hanna-I'm not too sure on this one...
I would assume that it will only affect you if you consistently went over your 300 text(s) per month-every month. If you don't go over-then again-they will argue that the text increase will not affect you-and still make you pay for the ETF. I hope this helps!
Jewel, please also help me with this.
Jewel,
I signed a contract with T-Mobile on May 28, 2008. I ordered unlimited text features on July 15, 2008. But the point is that I don't like T-Mobile in every way, and since I moved, the coverage became so bad so I decided to switch to AT&T(iPhone, of course). Then I came across this page that gave me hope that I might have a chance of not paying ETF and might be able to keep my number.
I checked with AT&T today and my number is portability. I called to cancel my unlimited text feature today (August 10,2008) and was told that it'd be canceled on August 28,2008. And I haven't received any notice on the increasing cost for text messaging from them.
Do you have any idea of what should I do next? I'm an International student who just got here almost 3 months ago. If anyone knows about this, please help.
You CAN Cancel Without ETF!!! Here are the steps!
Please note this is only valid for people who do not have a messaging plan. If you pay for a bundled messaging add-on you can not use the increase as a reason for breaking the contract since the increase does not affect you. This is also only valid for people not worried about losing your current phone number. If want to keep the phone number you will have to do some more hagling with the CR you talk to.
1. This step is very important. If you have not sent or received a SMS message within the past three months send a SMS message to your T-Mobile phone now. If you try this without having a recent text message on your account. T-Mobile will deny your request stating that the change will not affect you since you do not use text messaing.
2. Log into your T-Mobile account. Click on Billing, then Current Usage. Verify you see the SMS Text message. If you do not see a message wait a few hours and check back. Based upon my experience the site updates a few times per day. If you do not see the message the CR will not see it.
3. Call T-Mobile's main support number at 1-800-937-8997. When prompted by the automated system say "Cancel my Account". This should send you to the right department.
4. When the customer service (CR) person asks why you are calling say, " I want to cancel my account. I was notified today that the SMS messaging rate will be increasing from $.15 to $.20. on 8/29." Some CRs seem to know about this and others don't. They may put your on hold and verify the change.
5. The CR will probably come back and offer you incentives to keep your contract. Deny all offers.
6. If you haven't used text messaging within the past 3 months the CR will say the change doesn't affect you and you will need to pay the ETF. Tell them you sent/received a text message today and it will affect you. Tell them to check your recent activity.
ETF
Tryed all the steps seemed to be working then they said since my billing cycle ended on August 29 i had until Sep 1st to cancel with out ETF charges. I called on September 11th of course it was to late. Do you have any other suggestions?
Did Not work
I just got off the phone and used the step by step directions and it did not work for me because they said I called to late????? They said I had to call by the 7th to cancel. I even spoke with a supervisor and she was a huge bitch. My contract expires on Oct 2nd and she said she suggests I hold out until the end of the contract. Any suggestions??
They do NOT have that right...
They do not have the right to deny you canceling the contract due to their change in terms. Threaten them with legal action if they still refuse. Another way to handle this...
Mention-word for word-(you can even tell her to read along the terms and conditions)
T-Mobile’s ToS aggreement reads in clause 3:
Changes to the Agreement or Charges. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT PROHIBITED BY LAW, IF WE: (A) INCREASE THE CHARGES INCLUDED IN YOUR MONTHLY RECURRING ACCESS RATE PLAN, OR (B) MODIFY A MATERIAL TERM OF OUR AGREEMENT WITH YOU AND THE MODIFICATION WOULD BE MATERIALLY ADVERSE TO YOU, WE WILL NOTIFY YOU OF THE INCREASE OR MODIFICATION AND YOU CAN CANCEL THAT SERVICE WITHOUT PAYING A CANCELLATION FEE (WHICH IS YOUR ONLY REMEDY) BY FOLLOWING THE CANCELLATION INSTRUCTIONS IN THE NOTICE. IF YOU DO NOT CANCEL YOUR SERVICE BY FOLLOWING THOSE INSTRUCTIONS, OR YOU OTHERWISE ACCEPT THE CHANGE, THEN YOU AGREE TO THE INCREASE OR MODIFICATION, EVEN IF YOU PAID FOR SERVICE IN ADVANCE.
Then inform them-nicely-that since the change ADVERSELY affects you, you do not agree to the new terms. Also tell them that the "insert" they sent through the mail had NO DATE to cancel by-nor were there any instructions to which they aver to in their terms and conditions. You were just informed-for which you haven't even been billed yet-so the statute cannot possibly be up-you would like for them to cancel your contract as the law requires. If they do not-they are going against their own contract terms again and are liable to penalties.
I have heard of some people having to call in a couple of times-this may be one of those cases. But I can guarantee that the time has not run out! Again-everyone and everything I have talked to or referenced-have stated that you have 30 days from the date of the change! Not the date of the insert. And even if they state that you have to call within a certain "more limited" amount of days-again-the change has NOT even been billed for yet-so the change has not-as yet adversely affected you, and since it will-you do not agree with it!!! Stick to your plan-don't let them run you down-that's what they want!
I just tried and got ETF plus the representative just hung up o
I just tried and got ETF plus the representative just hung up on me ! I'm trying to call back right now.
IT WORKS!!!
I just got off the phone with T-Mobile and canceled our contract with no hasstle!!!
Follow the 6 steps above!! IT WORKS!!!
THANK YOU!!!!
Now, Come here my little I-Phone!
P.s. If you see a Razor phone on eBay that is snapped in half, well that is mine.

I have an unlimited texting
I have an unlimited texting bundle; but I also want to send texts oversees. They said that the rate would go up from 0.15 cents to 0.20 cents to send messages over sees (free to receive). Could I use that as a way to waive the ETF fee?
I want out because friends that recently graduated moved over sees and I can't really call them all the time. Texting is a tremendous must.
Plus, I hate getting so many dropped calls. I go study at a friends house and I have no signal! Bogus! I have to ask my friend to call my parents (I'm in college) to keep the chain off the door if I'm coming home late.
Do they send you the last
Do they send you the last bill when you cancel? Or not? Because if they don't, then I could remove the texting package and not pay the texting charges. (The people on my lines send and receive over 20 texts per day).
Conract Deals between mobile network provider
O2 and Orange are the big mobile provider in UK and they offer very cheap schemes for their customers over there. These companies also provide customer to the mobile phone manufactures. O2 Contract deals is very cheap scheme.
i drop around 30 calls a month.. can i get out of ETF??
i have t-mobile, and drop around 30 calls a month (that they consider worthy of the name "dropped calls")... i pay for un-limited text, more than enough mintues for my husband and i and also am constantly on the phone with someone and my call will switch and then i am speaking with someone who speaks a diff. language. what the heck is that about?? well anyways, ii pay by bill on time and we both have blackberry phones, and the max they can offer me is $5 off. ARE you KIDDING?!?!? ( i have called 20+ times, spent numerous hours trying to "trouble shot"... and no solution yet, (4 months of dropped calls) and they do nothing for us) It is $200 for each line to term our contract. i wish i could get out of my contract because of the number of calls that they drop!!! is there a way? please help!!!
** excuse my short hand typing... and i didnt spell check! thanks guys! :) (its late!)
You can cancel in August WITHOUT ETF!!!
In August 2008 they will be raising the price of texting-Again! This means-you will be able to cancel without etf-because they will be changing-thus voiding-original contract terms. You have to call within 30 days of it changing though-otherwise you are stuck-because they see your not responding as an agreement to the new terms! They finally sent a notice out through the mail-yes-you may not have gotten one-as we didn't the last time they changed the terms. It is also on the website when you sign in. (a very little box on the webpage) All you do is call in-say you do not agree to the new texting terms-and they will try to talk you into staying-just stick to your plan. But be prepared-they will cancel your phone(s) right then and there! So be sure that you have your new phone(s) already up and running! I hope this helps!
is it to late to cancel
is it to late to cancel without ETF when prices will be going up on august 29th? right now i have unlimeted txt messaging, is it possible? if so, how do i do it?
thanks
Please Read
Hi-I'm am so pleased to see that many people are up in arms about T-Mobile's service. I advise everone to read my previous post. You CANNOT be on a texting plan and cancel without an ETF. The reason being is that the text rate increase does not effect you. I hope this helps. You may want to search the web about different ways to cancel contracts without an ETF. Thre is also news about a California judge declaring ETFs "unlawful".
(website: http://www.dslreports.com/shownews/California-Judge-Declares-Sprint-ETFs...)
I also went into a Verizon store the other day (just checking out the phones) and they were talking like they might help me out of my current contract if I signed up with them. (Now this may just be that store-and I am not under contract anymore-so again-just giving you guys whatever experience I have had.)
SORRY.....do you think it
SORRY.....do you think it would work if i removed the unlimted txting for a couple days or weeks?
Not Too Sure...
It will only make a difference if they start you on a different rate than the one they are going to be charging. But chances are-they will start you out at the new rate which will bind you to that price-therefore giving you no reasonable "Escape".
But...even if you do have a
But...even if you do have a text bundle plan, you should still be able to argue that the rate increase DOES affect you...correct?
If you go over your bundle plan, you are now subject to a 5 cent increase in overage cost.
This is not consistent with what both parties agreed to originally.
Or do I have this wrong?
Again...not too sure....
I had another question like yours previously.....Here was my reply...
I would assume that it will only affect you if you consistently went over your 300 text(s) per month-every month. If you don't go over-then again-they will argue that the text increase will not affect you-and still make you pay for the ETF. I hope this helps
Feel sad for T-Mobile's Loyal Customers
Used to be a T-Mobile loyal customer. Not any more since I've moved back to India. Cell phone providers don't charge a single penny for incoming text! It's free! Charges apply only for outgoing text messages. Reading the various messages posted brings back memories of hours spent complaining about the unwanted text message charges!!
cancell contract
i want to cancell my contract i have only had it 1 week and i have already got a bill its not fair i am pregnant and need to cancell it
T-MOBILE Cancellation
My wife and I have t-mobile and our contract is up in June. We have unlimited text but the service is bad(dropped calls, different answers from CSR, Can't upgrade phone). How much is the penalty if we cancel and can we cancel because of the text increase ?
1st off, What the hell does
1st off, What the hell does being pregnant have to do with your cell phone contract? If anything u should keep ur cell phone just to make sure u and ur baby are safe at all times and have the ability to call for help, if in need. I swear u people are sooo dumb!
Right....
.... Yet they're smart enough to spell the word 'you'. Imagine that.
anonymous, pull your head
anonymous, pull your head out of your asshole, "whatever" is entirely correct, having a baby and a cell phone are completely unrelated subjects
cost of prepaid phonecards
I do not have a regular tmobile account, but do have a prepaid tmobile to go phone. Although I'd rather have a regular account, I have been unable to obtain a regular account because of some credit issues, so I have to settle for using the prepaid instead. To a degree, it is o as I dont have a bill hanging over my head or have to always worry about what time of day I can talk or after 9 at night or if I've gone over my limit, etc. There are prepaid cards available to put minutes on your account. They are available in amounts of $10, 25, 50, & 100. Upon an initial start of a prepaid account, one would need to purchase $100 minutes of airtime to receive an additional 15% of free airtime to future airtime purchases. Ok, but what is it with tmobile and scaling back the amount of minutes when you, say, purchase a $10 card. I remember that I could get 50 minutes with one about a year ago. Now I get about 35 minutes for the same amount. Is tmobile that hard-up for money that they take away or reduce a service while charging you more? Tmobile is so greedy and without compromise. Does customer loyalty mean anything anymore? They suck.
T-Mobile texting scam!!!!
Hi Everyone,
I know a lot of you are having the same problem with the text messaging cost I talked to Don M #1049790 who is supposed to be a big manager, but was the rudest person I have ever talked to at T-Mobile to date.
T- Mobile should not be able to charge people who do not subscribe to text messaging. If you text someone anyway then you should be charged. But you should not be charged for solicitors or wrong numbers or people who think it is funny to text you even when you have asked them hundreds of times not to. I have signed my phone up to not be solicited but I still get them.
Do you know if say a Million customers who do not want text messaging (Do not want to receive it or send it) receive 3 unwanted texts a month T-Mobile makes $450000 a month off of Innocent peoples hard earned money. That is if it is only 1 Million people with just 3 unwanted texts per month, Which I think those numbers are Conservative DO THE MATH. They bring up the point that they have to still receive it through there server well I know with all the technology out there that they could easily put a block on your phone except for the free texts they send you. This is there reasoning behind charging you even though you do not want the service.
I sent a email and a fax to Robert Dotson. Email rdotson@t-mobile.com Fax (813)351-4100 I suggest everyone else does the same right away. If they know we will not stand for it and that we will ban together to stop it, Maybe they might just stop being scammers.
I am also thinking of starting a class action suit against them.
Here is the letter I sent to Robert Dotson CEO today:
6-13-2007
Dear Robert Dotson, CEO
This is Charles and Stephanie . We have been complaining for over a year since February of 2006 about being charged for unwanted text charges. My wife and I do not subscribe to texting and do not want to either. We do not want to be nickeled and dimmed for random incoming text from solicitors or wrong numbers or just people texting. I am well assure you are aware of so many complaints from your CUSTOMERS THAT DO NOT LIKE IT. I understand that T-Mobile uses this for billing, upgrades and etc. BUT T-MOBILE FOUND A WAY NOT TO CHARGE PEOPLE FOR RECEIVING THOSE TEXTS. YOU ARE THE CEO, JUST CHANGE THE WAY YOU BILL, AND CHARGE THOSE WHO SEND TEXT MESSAGES AND NOT THOSE RECEIVING MESSAGES. as simple as that.
Now we just received our bill statement on 6-12-2007 and noticed the price increase. Called up to complain again. Well a year ago your customer service in handling the situation of dissatisfied customers, told us that they would give us text credits and when those ran out we could call back up to get some more. NOW, THEY SAY THAT CAN'T DO THAT ANYMORE. Now we do not get that many text messages but WE ARE NOT WILLING TO PAY FOR SOMETHING WE DID NOT WANT. YOU ( T-MOBILE) CAN CONTROL THIS. T-MOBILE AND CUSTOMER SERVICE ACT LIKE THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO. ---- JUST DO THE RIGHT THING----- Why make your customers unhappy. They choose you, why be sneaky , in the fine print , JUST BE UPFRONT. THE WORLD IS UPSIDE DOWN AS IT IS. JUST MONEY HUNGRY AND SCREW PEOPLE OVER IN THE FINE PRINT. That is a fine way to live in this world. HEY, BE THE GOOD GUYS. PEOPLE WILL RECOGNIZE THAT.
As for nickle and diming your customers. How do we know that you don't have a subliterary company or just giving out phone numbers to solicitors or just random texting so YOUR CUSTOMERS ARE CHARGED THESE SMALL FEES. Sure, was .10 cents and now .15 cents is that much, BUT SAY 1 MILLION OF YOUR CUSTOMERS GET 3 unwanted TEXTS A MONTH AT .15 cents THAT IS $450000.00 A MONTH , $5.4 MILLION A YEAR. Well that is great for T-MOBILE BUT NOT FAIR TO YOUR LOYAL CUSTOMERS.
LOOK OUT FOR YOUR LOYAL CUSTOMER!!! We are giving you money as it is. And we are repeat customers. All of us. Don't just try and screw more money out of us if it is not something we don't want.
Now moving on regarding the cancellation period. For the change to .15 cents. We have our bill for march to April and there is NO NOTICE ON OUR BILL. Also reading on the web by consumer advocates, canceling didn't truly start until June 1st with a 14 day window.
Well I am ASKING you do the right thing and either NOT CHARGE US FOR INCOMING TEXT
or TO CANCEL MY SERVICE in which you offered as a company. THE FINE PRINT IS B.S.
EITHER STAND BEHIND YOUR COMPANY TO SERVE YOUR CUSTOMERS (because we,the customers, are paying your salaries)
OR
FOR WHAT THE COMPANY OFFER CUSTOMERS TO CANCEL WITHOUT THE RUN-A-ROUND fine print.
Please e-mail and respond to this so we can resolve any and all issues.
A Loyal but Dissatisfied Customer.
THANK YOU,

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO JOIN A CLASS ACTION SUIT PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!!!!
Remember this is more than just an extra $0.45 to $1 it is about a mis-justice and big company's making money off of innocent people that work hard for there money. With the prices going up such as gas peoples budget is getting tighter and tighter and they are stealing. The only reason they are getting away with it is because too many people just think is just a small mistake in T-Mobiles favor and they can not be bothered. if you add it up they are making Millions off of you and everyone. Stop being a victim and fight back.
I do not agree with stupid law suits but this is pure steeling just think of the older people on a really strict budget who are just trying to call their kids. It could be your Parent or Grandparent!!!!!

We contacted T-Mobile Costumer services multiple times, and asked them to stop this practices, but they only gave us some credit back, but they say there is NOTHING they can do. It did not stoped, and recently we were informed that from now on they will not gice us any credit back!!! Are you still considering classaction law-suit, or what is going on???Please, let me know, because it is absolutaly outrages what is going on... Thank you in advance

Please read this-Their own website states text charges of 5 cent
This is for those that are tired of getting stuck with charges that don't belong to them. I noticed my T-Mobile bill going up in price each month, so today, being tired of paying more than what I signed on for, I started to do some research on our bills. Apparently T-Mobile raised the price of our text messaging WITHOUT informing us. We have kept every single piece of paper T-Mobile has sent to us over the last two years...we use one of the phones for business so we had to keep any and all documentation for expense reports and taxes. We never received any "insert". On top of this, for the last year of our service, we have had dropped calls, static on the lines, no service, etc. We have called many times to get the technical problems resolved-even went as far as purchasing new phones (at full cost) for both lines and replacing sim cards-and still-the service is below par. As far as the texting goes-I did my research and then looked at our plan online...I signed in, clicked on "Plans", went to the bottom of the window and clicked on "See Other Included Services", went to the bottom of the next screen and clicked on "More Information About Services", On the next page...First paragraph under the heading "ALL PLANS" If you read the first couple of lines-you will see that T-Mobile themselves say that text messages are only supposed to be 5 cents a text. This is for ALL PLANS-Not just for mine. Yet they are charging everyone more! As far as I am concerned-this is deplorable-and earns them MILLIONS of dollars a month!!!!! A month-not a year or more. Think on it-every one of their customers is paying more than what they say they actually are charging. I called T-mobile and explained that we were very unhappy with the service and now we find out that our Text cost went up. I spoke to a lady and explained what I found on their website and started to ask why they were charging me more than they themselves state the charge is supposed to be. And here I have been paying more for TWO YEARS!!! She said this was a tax, I said no it isn't-read the paragraph. She put me on hold for a few minutes. When she came back, I asked what would they do for me since I have been paying more than required for 2 years. She didn’t know-so I asked for a supervisor. It took a few minutes-but I got one. . She came back and actually thanked me for finding the "typo". She couldn’t believe that no one had found it before. She even confirmed the “typo” with her supervisor and then their business department. When I did get the supervisor, she was very defensive. I wasn’t-I was actually pretty nice. I explain everything again, and I ask her-what was T-Mobile going to do for me since I have been paying over their own rates for the last two years. She states that she has documentation that we received the insert explaining about the Text rate change. She stated that I HAD to have received the insert. I told her I was more than willing to send her every paper I had for the last two years, it isn’t here. Unless I signed it and gave it back (which if I had received it and they had asked me to at the time-I probably would have), she cannot say I received it. I am not a dishonest person-I would take a lie detector test to prove we never received it. She refused to give any-she only offered me a rate of .10 cents for our texts for the last month, but as of right now-I am officially notified that my rate of texts from here on out would be 15 cents per text. I couldn’t believe she said that-I repeated ”So you are saying, as of right now-you are officially notifying me?” She said yes. If that is the case-I should be able to cancel my contract because I am just now officially informed of my text rate change, and since we are still having service problems after trying everything they suggested, we no longer want to keep the service. We especially don’t feel that we should have to pay even more for services that we are not happy with. She said no-and I said-but you stated yourself that people had 30 days from the time of discovery to cancel their contracts without an ETF if they did not approve of the rate change, and you just “OFFICIALLY” let me know of my rate change. She started to get a little more rude now and told me she could not waive the ETF. I explained that this didn’t make sense, from what she herself said in the beginning of the conversation. We keep going round in circles repeating the same points of view. I asked to speak to her supervisor. She told me they weren’t there but she would have them call me. I have “print screened” the page with the 5 cent text rate-with the date of 2-6-2008, so they can’t say it didn’t exist. If 5 cents per text was on their site and I saw it-they should honor it, and have it retro-active for the last 2 years. I just feel that they are cheating everyone, and they aren’t even letting anyone know about it. We shall see what happens.
Some customers reporting T-Mobile is not letting customers out
An article on the Consumerist suggests T-Mobile is giving customers a hard time getting out of contracts for this change...
