I bought a phone last month and then…
I bought a phone last month and then went on vacation. I came home and started using it and discovered the battery would be dead within 24 hours or at best just over that. I went back to the store and the man working there told me I should call the 611 number and if they couldn't help to bring it back and he would give me a new phone. I called the 611 number and was on for over an hour with 3 different people continually having to explain my issue. Finally, a woman told me to bring it back to the store and they would give me a new phone and for them to call 611. Well, today I went there, and I had the same man wait on me. Instead of calling 611 he called his manager and the manager said there was nothing they could do but I could do an upgrade. I explained that that is not what I wanted and had been told by his employee and the 611 rep that I could get a new phone since the battery in mine was defective. I was told there is only a 7-day period for that, and it was on my receipt. I was never ever told that and the same man I bought the phone from had been told I was going on vacation. Today was my third time with him waiting on me. I was screwed over big time!!!!!! No apologies for the lie and was told they could not cancel my auto pay as well. I was furious and said so in a not so nice way! I went to my car and called 611 and spoke to 4 different people. I thought one was going to help but had to switch phones because of the low battery %. The last person I spoke with said he was sorry and understood how upset I must be but there was nothing to be done. I told him the gentleman before him had told me to call on my other phone and give a pin number that he gave me. They would not use the pin #. He did however take my auto pay off for me and now I have to call back at the end of my time and cancel the service entirely. I would NOT EVER recommend Metro PCS to anyone again! I have been with them for about 8 years. To be lied to by 2 people is outrageous and to have to keep driving back and forth and spend hours on the phone is ridiculous! I wish I could leave no stars! I want to add that the man who sold me the phone and told me to come back if 611 would not help told me he would help get me a new phone. He works at the Manchester, CT store at The Shoppes at Buckland Hills. Oh, and their customer service used to be great! NOT ANYMORE! Very sad!!!!!!
