I signed up online for a single new phone line. The idea was to test an eSIM in addition to my current version plan to see if T-Mobile was worth switching to. It checked my IMEI number and verified it would work. Once the payment was made, it directed me to their t-life app. Once in, it simply said your phone is locked and we cannot do anything for you. Here is where the problem begins. I was sent an email welcoming me to t-mobile, but i was given no confirmation number, no account number, not even the phone number that i just purchased. There is no way for me to log in and access the account. When I call the 800 number it has been a 2 hour wait every time. Well, I have 6 kids and three jobs. 2 hours is not possible. I’ve tried chatting with agents online now 8 times. The response time is som slow I’ve only gotten as far as them trying to verify who i am to even access my account. I told them i can use a different phone IMEI, I’ve had a chat agent say actually the locked part shouldn’t be an issue, but the chat disconnects before we get to any kind of solution. I feel like they are holding me hostage with this level of service. My only option at this point is to just dispute the charge on my credit card and warn as many people as I can that this is what they are signing up for. A call to the attorney general is next.
