Terrible Support, Decent Otherwise
This review is strictly related to TMobile Online and Phone Support. After a few weeks with TMobile, I have no concerns about coverage, costs, and store-based support. I recently switched to TMobile from Verizon. Partly because of a friend’s recommendation, partly because I could upgrade to 5G for far less money. After using their app to check my first bill, I contacted TMobile Support through an online chat. I spent nearly two hours overall to get an answer that should have taken a few minutes. The online chat function was terrible. I would send a response and the screen would indicate “Delivered”. At times, it could take 4-5 minutes before my response was “Read”. Why? Is the support representative sleeping? Why are they not responding sooner? Also, I do not believe the online representative knew what to do. At one point, I was asked (via chat) if I had an Apple phone. I replied “No”, he replied “So Android?” (as if it could be anything else). Also, he wanted me to take a screenshot with the camera but could not tell me how to do this. After about 90 minutes of this craziness, I was about to simply end the online chat and my phone rings with the online representative on the phone. He had such a heavy accent that I could barely understand a word that he said. I had to ask him to repeat several times so I could follow along. I was so frustrated by this time, that I simply told him to take my issue through his chain of command and ended the phone call. About 30 minutes later, my phone rang and it was the online representative’s supervisor. Again, there was such a heavy accent that it was difficult. This time I was told (if I understood correctly) that a fix could be completed in a few hours. I told him that I was going to be unavailable and that I would check to see if my issue was resolved in a few days and ended the call. (As of writing this note about a week after the calls, my issue was not resolved. So, what is this “few hours” nonsense?) This was my first contact with TMobile support and it will be my last. I am a new TMobile customer and I am not sure if I will continue with TMobile or not if support is this terrible.
