T-Mobile is a nightmare and it's not…
T-Mobile is a nightmare and it's not worth wasting a dime on them!!!! I got a new iPhone from Metro by T-Mobile because I was able to get it cheaper. Their service is horrible and they have my iPhone locked so that I can't switch to another cell phone carrier. I've gone back to using my previous iPhone so that I can use another cell phone carrier.
When I'm at work, I can't get on the internet at least half of the time. When I was with AT&T, I could always get on the internet any time that I wanted. With T-Mobile, when I order groceries online from Walmart to pick up there, most of the time I wasn't able to place my order on my cell phone because I wouldn't have service. When I would get to Walmart, I would have to call them because I couldn't use the app to let the know that I was there to pick up my groceries. If I ordered something on the Sonic app while at home and picked it up on my way to work, I was unable to use the app to check in. I would have to push the red button to let them know that I was there to pick up my food. At work, I will listen to music on my Amazon Music app. Oftentimes the music would just stop playing and my phone would be buffering. NONE of these things happened with AT&T, so I switched to Cricket Wireless because they are a part of AT&T but cheaper. I honestly don't know how T-Mobile is able to stay in business when their service works maybe half the time!!!!!!
They wouldn't cancel my service because I'd already switched over to Cricket Wireless, so they couldn't send me a text message to verify that I am who I say I am, although I provided ALL other important information to them to prove who I am. I chatted with T-Mobile and they said they didn't have the "magic fingers" to unlock my phone, only the manufacturer did. So I contacted Apple but they told me that the carrier is the only one who can unlock my phone. They refused to unlock it because I've only been with them for about 34 days and I have to have service with them for around 180 days. There is NO WAY that I'm going to stay with Metro by T-Mobile for that long!!!! I want to use my cell phone like I'm supposed to be able to use it, I can't with T-Mobile. After I first switched to Metro for a different iPhone, I switched both me and my son. When I would text a friend, both of our phones would get her replies. That's REALLY weird and should NEVER happen!!! He has a completely different cell phone number from me. Again, they have absolutely no clue what they are doing and I truly recommend that NO ONE gets service with T-Mobile or Metro by T-Mobile. It's just NOT worth it at all!!!!!
