T-Mobile 4+

We’ve been customers of T-Mobile for a few years now. We’re on the plan for 55 plus. I liked the convenience and pricing after the competition kept raising fees. I also liked being able to use the international calling conveniences to and from the US.
However, T-Mobile is changing their auto pay policy and system, which I thoroughly disagree with. When companies get hacked so frequently and their customers account numbers, including social security numbers, and more get stolen, with the potential for customers identity stolen, bank accounts raided, etc, demanding bank account numbers and or debit card number information for the auto pay discount is “waving a red flag in front of a bull”—offering personal information to hackers.
I refuse to change from my credit card number information because it offers more security and protection. T-Mobile ( and parent Deutsche Telecom) should have conversations with credit card companies over fees —and go back to the credit cards and use a compromise amount of $10 vs the original $20, to make it better for both parties.

T-Mobile is by far the worst provider for business customers who prefer to perform their transactions online. The app does NOT support business accounts, nor is there a dedicated app for this type of account. Logging into the website from a mobile device is an absolute joke. Zero functionality. Any changes, device upgrades, purchases must be done in store or on the phone. In this day and age? Unacceptable. Literally every other provider is better in this regard. Similarly, if you think you can just hop on a desktop to upgrade, make a change to service, or any other basic function… think again.

I had to go into a brick and mortar store today to do something as simple as purchasing a new phone on an existing T-Mobile business line. And in the midst of the transaction, the ENTIRE NETWORK went down, and every customer in the store left after it became clear the network wasn’t going to be restored any time soon. So after going to another location later in the day, I finally got the phone I needed. Nearly 3 HOURS of my day was wasted doing something that should’ve been able to be completed online in a few minutes.

So yeah… get your crap together T-Mobile, and get with the times. Give business customers a dedicated app, or at the very least allow us to access our accounts through the existing app. Nobody has time for this nonsense.

Although I like T Mobile branding and their supposed ethos, and I think they are forward thinking with the eSIM app etc, I am an investor and am very disappointed with their customer support and treatment of me. They advertise “no robots, real people,” but so many times I have been left on a prerecorded loop, is that much better than a robot? This app here has never worked even once for me. I have to get on a desktop to do anything, because the mobile web app isn’t very functional either. The 24/7 chat support doesn’t live up to expectations, Verizon is infinitely better. Finally they advertise that you get a local “team of experts,” committed to serving your needs and that they will “even show you a photo.” Well, after some security concerns in Mt Holly, NC, T-Mobile I did request a photo to put faces to names and they refused. I am pretty sure my SIM card has been compromised by T-Mobile employees themselves. So disappointing because I do like their plan options and they have very good service. It could’ve been a good fit in the long run but they never allowed the relationship to flourish. I strongly advise against using eSIM for T-Mobile. Considering the fact they are owned by a foreign entity, not that I mind Telekom Deutsche having my data anymore than Google or Verizon, but they have different standards and laws and I don’t know to what extent they adhere to ours
