After renewing one of my 4 contracts with t-mobile I noticed that my bills were about £30 less than normal I called them and quizzed it they said it was ok. After 3 months I received a letter saying I was 3 months in arrears and the credit agencies had been notified I called t-mobile and after 2 hours finally figured out my renewed contract was ported over to EE and no direct debit was setup, £120 later plus and 200 points off my credit rating I still haven't received any apology.

Terrible 0 rating, in every way possible. Sold me contract then upped the price mid term. After three months of back and forth with customer services, i ended up locked into a mis-sold contract. After leaving them i said i did not wanta PAC code as if it wasnt used they would just extend my contract. A day before my contract ended, they sent me a pac code and locked me into a further month.

Purchased a T-mobile Sim card from a well known store. Activated the Sim a few months later as the expiry date on the Sim was August 2024. The Sim included an offer of a free £5 credit. Once activated no offer only £0.25 was allocated to the credit. Rang customer services cost the £0.25 to find out what was going on. Had to explain god knows how many times to a person that does not understand English.
Got the impression that they did not believe anything I was saying, even thou I had proof of purchase from the store with the offer clearly visible on the packaging. literally I was accused of been a liar. Promised that supervisor would ring me back in half an hour. Never did could not re-connect as I had no longer had credit on phone. Absolutely abysmal service that should not be happening in this day of age. Shocking is an understatement!!!

Terrible service.
I am holiday in Madeira (a Portuguese island) and shortly after arriving received a text saying I could purchase an inclusive calls and text package while abroad for £2 per day (only billed for days when used). To take up the offer I merely needed to text EUDAYTM to 441. I did this and it consistently failed (>6 attempts). I went online and logged into my account. The same offer was advertised with the ability to subscribe by texting 441, or through Customer Services, or on-line. 441 had already failed and there were no instructions as to how to subscribe on-line. So I called 150. Eventually got to speak to someone, who after usual questions asked me to hold while she looked to set up the service. I held and the call timed-out. She rang back and said the bundle was not available on my phone plan. I said the offer had been sent to me personally and that EE/T-Mobile knew my plan, so if it's not available to me, don't offer it. I'd wasted time trying to subscribe by 441 text and now spent 20-30 minutes on the phone. I said if you offer it, honour it. She simply replied it was not available on my plan. I said I wanted to speak to someone who could fix it as she clearly wasn't able to. She said she would transfer me to her supervisor. More canned music and then after several minutes the call timed out (again). Predictably, neither she nor her supervisor called me back. Absolute rubbish service. If someone offers you a deal - in the full knowledge of your contract with their company - they should honour that offer, not waste your time and eventually simply say "It's not available on your plan". Of course, I would complain direct to T-Mobile/EE by email, but they don't provide an email address or online feedback form for that purpose; no surprises why, it would probably bring their email servers to their knees every day.

I just wanted to leave a quick post about a great experience I was given by one of your sales reps (call centre) I am really sorry as I don't remember the guy's name (my bad im just really bad with names :/ ) but he really was good and I hope he still some how gets credit for his work. I actually rang up to get my pat code as I've moved my phone to another network.
Because of how good he was at his job I actually decided to keep my account active by taking out a tablet contract. I work in sales my self as well as run my own business with sales so normal sales tricks don't work on me as I know them all and use them myself, how eva I did take him up on the tablet for two reason.
1- I was already thinking about getting my other half one as she keeps robbing mine (was going to just buy it out right n get a data only sim for it (cheaper))
2- The main reason was him and how helpful he was with everything, I even hat to get him to ring me back a few times, you could not ask for a more friendly and helpful sales person. Well not with out it starting to bit forced and over the top if you know what I mean.
If he is eva looking for another job or just a side line in his personal time send him my way, I'm always on the look out for good sales reps to help expand my business (it's a BDP so will help him grow a business of his own of the back of it) :)

Up until September I had 4 mobile lines with T-Mobile/EE. One of my contracts was due to expire on 14th September so on 14th August I rang them giving them the required 30 days notice.
I have today realised that they have still be charging me for that line and have rung then to find out why. Despite the fact that this line has not been used since 14th September they insist that because I didnt use a PAC code that they sent me (although it wasn't requested)they have every right to continue charging me for it. This is out and out robbery in my mind as I fulfilled the requirement to give the 30 days notice as per my contract. I have now been waiting for a callback that was promised would take 2 minutes for over half an hour. Its time this went to the press....ridiculous company with no customer service whatsoever. AVOID THIS COMPANY if you want good customer service and straight forward dealings.

Disgusting,I have just spoken to them as I realized that despite cancelling in July and giving 30 days notice they have continued to take Direct debit each month. This is because I asked for PAC code same day and did not use it. Funnily they can cancel it straight away now. Have 2 other contracts with them and will DEFINITELY BE CANCELLING THEM AS SOON AS I CAN. Said it is in the terms and conditions but I cannot find it. 6 years of Loyalty means nothing to them.

terrible customer service. My problems started with the rationalisation of the Orange an T mobile networks.
This resulted in a terrible service at home. I noticed this in April when I started being at home more often. T mobile admitted that the mast I previously relied on had been a victim of rationalisation and removed.
Calls in May got nowhere as did calls in June. My wife did get a signal box out of Orange which I also use and it helps.
Got really fed up last week in September and called again. No satisfaction but was promised a call back which didn't materialise. Called back determine to to cancel my contract and determined I wasn't going to pay for the privilege.
I called back on 7 October and guess what? In spite of my saying its a customer service issue passed through to second line technical assistance. They see no justification for early cancellation on technical grounds. There was much reminding me of the fact there is no guarantee of a signal in the house. My point is a customer service one though. Why no call back from last week and why wasn't I referred to second line technical assistance in the summer?
So I was put through to a call centre supervisor. No joy. No sympathy no empathy. I will get a call from an operations manager or rather I have been promised one.
No way am I renewing with t mobile or ee. I even tried to talk the supervisor into a compromise which would allow us to part on good terms. To no avail.
My advice. Don't get a contract with ee or t mobile or orange.
Oh and by the way, I've been a customer for many years. That counts for nothing. Rant over. All suggestions received gratefully.

Joined T mobile in May and set up a fixed price tariff to be paid by Direct Debit each month.
All fine for first few months then I received a letter in August demanding a payment as my DD had been cancelled - News to Me.
I called T mobile and following a 15 minute wait managed to speak to one of their Customer Service team. They were unable to explain why my DD had been cancelled. I therefore reset my DD again with them.
I then received another letter from T mobile demanding payment so once again I did the 15 minute wait and eventually spoke to one of their team.
I explained that a DD had been set up. I was informed that due to the fact that the DD did not collect for another week they had stopped my allowance.
So here I was with no phone or internet despite the error been at T mobile and I was losing my allowance.
Eventually the agent resolved this and my phone was reconnected.
Yesterday I received another letter stating that my account was suspended as my outstanding had not been paid, however the DD would be doing this tomorrow.
gain I called T-Mobile and after 10 minutes spoke to one of their team. I was gold that there was a much larger balance owed. I asked shat this was as I had only checked my usage eggs day before and was at half of my allowance.
He told me he would look into and having spoke to his supervisor went on to explain that they would give me a credit.
Fed up I asked for more details about this overcharge however he was unable to help.
I therefore informed him that I was not happy that incorrect charges can simply be added onto customers accounts with no explanation and that I wanted to raise a complaint.
He told me that he would need to escalate this and that he would put me through.
For 25 minutes I was on hold with no one updating me with any progress.
At 30 minutes I ended the call and rang them back. I was then told that the agent that had left me on the line was just about go put me through.... A likely story.
The new agent that I spoke with was more helpful and said that he would contact the escalations team and once he got through he would call me and connect me without a wait.
True to his word he did and I spoke to a lady based here in the UK. She started looking at my notes then asked if she could call me back in 15 minutes as she needed to go into them in more detail re the Direct Debit error.
True to her word she called me back 15 minutes later and explained that she thought credit put on my Account in July had somehow kicked out the DD at their end.
I explained that nine of this had been due to MD and yet I have now wasted over 3 hours of my time trying go sort out their catalogue of errors.
As a way of an apology and offered me £7.50 in the way of compensation which I informed her wasan insult based on the amount of my time taken up by THEIR ERRORS.
I have therefore been allowed to end this shambles of a contract and company.

Do not, I repeat, DO NOT use them, after ending contract with them and paying what we thought was last bill, apparently we owed them another month, however, they failed to tell us this and only found this out when trying to get credit. They never sent any final bills or letters, so we didn't pay a bill we didn't know about, (we paid as soon as we found out) however, the consequence of this is a black mark on our credit rating. Now we are being refused a mortgage because of this. We cannot believe that this company is completely wrecking our lives right now.

Anyway I'm really thinking of cancelling my both contracts with T Mobile because the Costumer Service in the Shops couldn't get any worse really...

I was with T-mobile Pay-As-You-Go for five years before being wooed into having a contract with them, and I just can't wait for my contract with T-Mobile (and any company attached to EE) to come to an end. Even if my next company is slightly more expensive I would be happy to pay extra to get away from this outfit. Over the past 22 months, I have had to ring up their call centre in India consistently and listen to poorly-trained staff explaining why extra charges were put on my account for things that I had not used or were already included in my package. For example adding 25 pence here and there for video images which are part of my package. The billing section of their website is consistently not functioning or blocked when you want to check your bills to see where these extra charges are coming from. Then, once you have established where those extras T-Mobile have dropped into your bill have come from (which takes a lot of time) you pay premium rates to phone their help line to explain to their terrible customer service personnel somewhere in India that you are being overcharged. Then you have to listen to a lot of convoluted error-strewn theories form their operatives as to why this charge has been put on your account, before finally they concede that you are being overcharged. All this at premium rate which they then add to your bill. (Remember to ask them to ring you back as soon as they answer the phone otherwise you pay a lot to hear them talk). The customer is definitely always wrong with this company, and is a sheep to be sheared for as much as they can get. After going through all this, you then have to wait a considerable period of time (weeks sometimes) before they reimburse you. And they never give you the money back, they just take it off your next bill which is a disgusting way to do business. It is a totally disrespectful company with unacceptable business practices. If there was a negative rating system included in the list, I would give T-mobile (and anything under the EE umbrella) a 'minus 5 rating'. Corporate cheats, Avoid them at any cost.

Terrible signal and truly diabolical customer service, the worse I have known ever
I had to review TMobile to hopefully prevent others from entering this world of uselessness. There is barely any signal from them these days, you often can't make calls or send texts for the last couple of months, when you complain to their customer service team they do nothing to solve the problem, they promise to call you back but never do. You basically pay your monthly subscription for barely any service. I have never known anything like this in all my years using mobile phones. They may have been a good company once, and I agree they were, but that is long gone it seems, and there is no sign they want to improve.
If in any doubt on what i've said please PLEASE READ THEIR OWN FACEBOOK PAGE, which their own website points to for people to contact them with issues
https://www.facebook.com/tmobileuk you will think you are reading a comedy sketch. Person after person after person after person is contacting them with the same issues as I have described above and yet they are doing nothing to solve these issues. Completely inept service, they come across like they have contempt for their customers, loyalty counts for nothing with them either. I'm really at a loss as to how a company that has been going so long can become this joke that it is now.

I have been will t mobile for over 5years as a pay as you go customer. On Wednesday the 30th of April I got a call from them asking if I would like a contract for £5.50 per month 250 mins 500 txt free landline to 01 02 03 and internet. I thought that's a good deal I should have known if it sound to good to be true it usually is but I said yes. The caller said as I has £9.98 in credit I would pay nothing this month and a small amount the next. Over the weekend I was bombarded with Txts from them saying my credit way about to run out, pay my bill or loose my service, then my phone cut out. I called 150 and eventually got to speak to someone I explained my story and after a lot of listening to very loud music she said she could see what had happened and would have it corrected and my service returned which it was. To my horror the next day I received a bill for £100 less my £9.98 demanding £90.02 to be paid immediately. At no time in the conversation did the agent mention a £100 agents fee . I called them again last night explaining the situation and the whole story over again and demanded they cancelled my contract which they have as far as they have told me and I should have my £9.98 credit on my phone. Today Thursday I still do not have the credit on my phone and have had to call them again to see what is happening. Over the last 3 nights I have spent around 1 hour on the phone not to mention the stress this has caused. The is a complete rip off and fraud. If this was an elderly person I don't know if they could deal with this situation Please beware and t mobile deal with this.

I have 3 contracts with this really bad company. Be carefull !!!! They cheat people, you can't check your bill online because all the time they are changing something and the page is blocked. For the paper bill you have to pay £2.50. If you want to cancel your contract you have to call and give one month notice but if you receive pack code and not use it within 28 days your contract is still running. The biggest thieves over the world. One of my contract after one month notice should be ended on 03/03/2014 but I still paying for it because it was impossible to check my bill online. I saw only the amount which I had to pay on my bank statement. The sim was used by my son and he I took the card out of the phone when that contract was ended and I cut it. Today is 26/04/2014 and the customer service told me that we are still using internet over last 3 monts on that sim, how is it possible if the card is cut??? My husband pays £15 within last 2 years for the sim card only and one month they charged him £150 !!!!!!! and they said that he used over 1000 min extra outside of the plan, which we know that it was impossible. He took sim card only with 500 min which is enough for him because doesnt have time to talk and doesnt need more min. Horrible service!!!!!!!! They are changing to EE now and we receive the letters that our plans will cost more. Why??? It's the signed contract and why they can change it ??? We didnt sign the contract that we agree with the price changing. If the contract is for 2 years and £21 per month I think that it shouldn't be changed to the end of the contract.
Please, please don't use them!!!! Try to find much better and friendly company.
I can't wait when my other contract will be ended............ I don't want to hear anymore about this !!! I don't want to put 1 star because it should be zero!

Would really like to score T mobile a zero but no option for this. I have been trying to get a proof of purchase to claim for loss of the phone on home insurance for roughly 5 weeks now. Have long list of customer advisors I have spoken with, all lovely on the phone but it just never gets done. Cannot access bills as site down for "maintenance " and has been for 5 weeks now. Extremely frustrating. They have now "escalated" my complaint but I'm not hopeful. Ironic really because I was going to buy the replacement from them looks like they don't want the money or my future business.

I had got my t mobile contract locked at monthly credit limit. So I would not over use it. Customer service staff assured me that my phone will be capped on my monthly package. ( I was told capping will disconnect my phone if I try to use over my allowance of talk time, sms or internet) Now suddenly I get charged 20 times over my monthly package. And when I call customer care they don't even care. Then I insisted to speak to a manager which took a long time to get hold of - after a week. Now manager says he can not help me. Now suddenly capping can only be used on internet use and not on call mins and sms. Money is taken of from my account and I can not do anything

Just had to ring T mobile again regarding my OH a/c. He was on PAYG until October last year when after using his phone a lot more due to being in hospital we got a call from a Tmobile adviser and he talked me into setting up a pay monthly account. Well since then I have had to ring them every month with one problem or another, bearing in mind my OH has been in and out of hospital so I have had the worry of that. It is something I can do without, however after speaking to them today they have assured me all is now sorted but we will see. I enquired about getting out of the contract but they said this would cost me £160. I have told them if I have to ring them again I will send the phone back to them, but the adviser didn't sound bothered. Feel like standing on the b****y thing but that would be cutting my nose off to spite my face, so to speak.

I have been with T-Mobi on-and-off for 15+years and continually for last 8 years. How I have allowed their nonsense to go on for so long, until I canned them recently, well... history now. Their infrastructure has got continuously more buggy over time. I understand that all mobi services are bad, but I cannot believe any others are as bad as T-Mobi. I could document a dozen or so howlers, but here are a couple some classics..
- I go on vac to S.E.Asia. I have paid for international roaming, altho of course I have unlocked phones to swap-in a foreign simcard. A few days after I get there, service is barred. I call up the tecs, and they try to fix it over hours/days. They fail. Upon quitting, they remark that since I have been on the phone to them trying to debug, I have clocked up nearly $150 of charges, so they will refund those, but the phone service cannot be fixed until I get home. When I get back, not only have they left all the charges on my account, but they have added another 50 or so. So now I have been swindled $200 for non-existent service. I argued for *HOURS* with a poor Philippina lady (not here fault - she is just obeying her instructions from T-Mobi, to be rude and an "arguing robot" like in an old Monty-Python. Eventually they agreed to refund half the money they had swindled. It took me hours to get them to even do that. Further repeated ripoffs, barring and black-out of my service for months at a time is what finally forced me to can them once and for all. I am with Voda now.

Ashamed to say I have been with TMobile for 15 years.....2 years ago they allowed a new 24 month contract to be taken out in my name, becuase the person calling knew the passwordon the account!!!! I wrote to the MD and they refused to accept they had to have my permission, as I am responsible for the contract legally - they likened the password to my pin - I advised them I am never asked to repeat my pin over the telephone or in a crowded shop!!
I lost the will to live and did not follow up - be warned, they are not honest and make sure you get everything in writing from them and report them to the rlevent authorities when they dont follow procedure or the law.

I would not even give tmobile a poor, I would rate them as ABSOLUTELY SHOCKING. I am disgusted with the customer service you recieve. I have been a tmobile customer for 5 years and they have just continuously declined in their ability to provide a good service. Summer 2012 I signed a 2 year contract for an iphone4, At the time of signing we gave my mothers account details and name, as the account holder, but were told if we wanted to change it would be a simple process of just calling up and saying so.
We called up to change account details and customer services insisted we would have to visit the store. We then visited the store and were told by the staff at the store we'd have to call tmobile, so we did on the shop phone. The staff at the tmobile store also told us there would be no fee to change over account details, (there was no mention of fee's to change account details when we asked at the beginning of the contract.)We then endured a painful hour phone call of mostly talking to automated machines and being put on hold, the phone cut out twice, extremely frustrating. Eventually we spoke to some one who said they would do a credit check, put on hold for another 30 minutes to be told credit check offices were shut. I then recieved a call on sunday night at 8pm, saying my credit check had gone through and tmobile demaned £100, which was to 'check there was money in the account, and the bill would pay for my next 3 1/2 tmobile bills, I wouldn't be charged until the end of april for just £9. I tried to login to my account the next day and was unable to. Tmboile after all that had taken my payment and not even changed the account name or details. Called tmobile again, another 25 minutes on hold...to speak to someone who changed the accounts over, and then confirmed on the phone no payment to be taken until april 2014- due to the £100 payment.
Today I recieved a bill.
...now back on the phone and Have been on the phone to tmobile for 1 hour 30 minutes (25 of that has actually been to people and not on hold)... They are now saying I have been 'misinformed' they have taken £100 just to change account details and will continue to charge me every month.
Currently trying to get the contract ended (still on hold)
Wouldn't want tmobile to take 1 more penny from me.
Every person you speak to has different information, totally unreliable as well.

I have been a loyal T-Mobile customer for years 2004 onwards , customer service and phone used to be excellent, it has gone down a bit since end of 2010, but what is happening since merge with EE- is just appalling, from lack of customer care and retention amongst the sales / retention team, to misinformed e-commerce order processing staff and lack of network availability in central London not to mention 3G and the fact you cant e-mail T-Mobile. Here in more detail: 23.07.13 I checked my T-Mobile account to see if there are any offers on my about relating to broadband connection and discovered that I am being charged £15.0 per month more than I should. I rang billing team and was told that they will credit that on my next bill and that I need to speak to retention team about renewing my contact- they put me thorough to Alicia who informed me that they cancelled my loyalty discount as my contract expired, I explained that at my last renewal it was agreed that my contract will be rolling with the loyalty discount included shall the contract duration end, I asked her to access these notes, she informed me she can and if she cant do that and it doesnt matter, she also said she cant put me trough to the person who did that contract for me at the time. I asked how come I was not informed of any of these changes, and also why nobody call me when my contract was coming to the end (which I was told was in May) .As a long term T-Mobile customer I am used to certain level of service, upon till now I always received a phone call about the month before my contract was due to end even if it was rolling contract. I was told this is not how thing are done now. I was also told I am not eligible for any loyalty discounts or upgrade offer whatsoever. I can keep my contract at full price tariff thats the best offer, I asked to speak with supervisor I was told there isnt one available and call back will be arranged within 48 hours. I logged into my T-Mobile online account again and I noticed that there are two upgrade options available online, first one if I want handset £359 for IPhone and keep the tariff at the standard price. Second one £5 loyalty discount without handset. I rang retention team back spoke with Shaun, - told him I can see upgrades options available online and explained what I was just told by Alicia, he said he can see offers available no my account including loyalty discount. I wanted to know what that offer was, he was going on and on for ages without telling me what the offer is, almost like he was just trying to keep me on the phone, I kept insisting for him to tell me he said he can give me £6.00 loyalty discount, and he cant offer me anything with iPhone. I said that is all I need to know and pressed confirm on my T-Mobile account to upgrade. One other interesting thing that got mention when I said the quality of service has gone worn the drain since merge to EE (January onwards no phone signal in central London, 3 G dropping of constantly the only way to get it back is to re set network settings sometime several times per day) was told this is my fault for not switching to 4G! Absolutely appalling since my contract with T-Mobile for 3G, so just because T-Mobile has 4G now that means that they can just abandon customers who have a contract with them to deliver 3G services? Shortly there is an obligation to deliver contracted service. Shortly afterwards I received the following e-mail by the way is has the wrong name on the top From: T-Mobile Web Sales Date: 23 July 2013 20:17:42 GMT+01:00 Subject: T-Mobile order confirmation - Order number 23.7.2013 Thank you for staying with T-Mobile.

Kind regards, T-Mobile www.t-mobile.co.uk I rang the number straight away, I asked if this the phone was definitely going to be deliver my royal mail if not them I have to change delivery address to my office address, I was assured it was going to be royal mail. (So I can pick my parcel up on Saturday for their local 10 minutes walk office) The lady tried to process the payment first on my Halifax card- it got declined, and then on my Barclays debit card- also declined, she finally managed to process that on my MBNA card. - £359 Shortly afterwards Barclays and Halifax fraud teams suspended my accounts it took me hours to get this sorted last night and today. 24.07.13 I received the text for UK mail saying my parcel will be delivered tomorrow, the only thing I could think of was my new phone, but that supposed to be delivered by royal mail. I trying to salvage this situation checked their website, couldnt change the address for the office address, or do Saturday delivery (which I suspected already as that is what happens with these cheap delivery services) and of course their depot is outside of London (15 miles away from my address) I rang the 0800 956 2208 option 1, they put me through delivery team, I was told that just because the lady said if was going to be royal mail it doesnt mean it will be- I said I am looking at the order confirmation e-mail stating it will be royal mail, I was told that is not possible. I asked if possible to get this delivered by royal mail- since royal mail is what I paid for, alternatively change delivery address to my office. None of this is possible, I was told I have to wait for UK mail to try to deliver this and then return it to their warehouse before the phone can be re send by royal mail of to another address. This can take weeks. I said in this instance I have to cancel my order Orders for phones placed and accepted before 4PM Monday to Friday will be delivered to your billing address within the next 2 working days by Royal mail special delivery. There are no weekend deliveries And get immediate refunds as t mobile is not able fulfill it, I was told that I cant, I have to wait for the phone to be returned to them first again it will take weeks. I stated that this in not in line with consumer law in the UK, and Ofcom regulations. I asked to be put through a supervisor; I had to demand several times. I was finally put through I was told address cant be changed, I said this doesnt have to be done I just need this order fulfilled according to my contract Orders for phones placed and accepted before 4PM Monday to Friday will be delivered to your billing address within the next 2 working days by Royal mail special delivery. There are no weekend deliveries I was put on hold whilst Nel B 1016 got on the phone to Consumer Connect she told me nothing can be done. I also said that the only way I can get this phone from UK mail is if I take leave from work- which will result in loss of earnings around £200 per day- I asked if T-Mobile is prepared to cover that- I was told no. Another option I asked for this order to be cancelled straight away and new order issued with the correct delivery service royal mail as that will fulfill my contract / order and T-Mobile can sort this mess out internally later. I was told that is not possible until this phone comes back to them. I said again I have e-mail stating this is going to be royal mail, I was told to take it to T-Mobile shop, as they cant receive e-mails. I said according to the law costumers in the UK must have an e-mail option available to complaint so shortly there must be some generic inbox everyone can access, I was given email@example.com I forwarded my order confirmation straight away I received the following auto reply: Subject: Re: Fwd: T-Mobile order confirmation - Order number Please accept our apologies, we are in the process of improving our e-mail service, and cannot deal with your e-mail enquiry at this time.

Having been a customer with T Mobile UK for over a year I decided to end the contract early, as there was better deals on the market. I duly paid the remainder of the contract on two handsets and £60 to get the unlock codes for the two handsets, this is when my woes really started. Codes were requested in 18th Dec 2012, heard nothing from them so contacted them on 13th Feb 2013 got told some mistake had happened and the codes were not ordered. Still hadn't heard by 8 March so called again, most apologetic will get it sorted. 11 Apr comes round and still no codes, phone again got told there has been some mix up again, promised it will be dealt with, I wanted to talk to supervisor and was told none are available, one would phone back. They never did. 14 Apr receive email from them with one unlocking code - what do I have to do?? Left it until 10th Jun before contacting them again as work had prevented me from keeping on at them, was told that they were sorry but there seems to be some problem again, by now I'm furious and want to talk to supervisor, none available, no call back either despite it being promised. Call again 18th June as have not received a call yet from the elusive supervisor, after a long call with customer support, I am promised a code within 24hrs, believe it when I see it. Supervisor did call back after a few hours but wasn't prepared to even admit blame on their part and would not offer a refund on the unlock code that I have not received, never mind all the cost of the calls to the customer services trying to get the issue resolved or the depreciation of the handset. After this carry on I would never use T mobile again, and would advise others to pay heed to the overall rating that T Mobile has received, it's low for a reason.

I was fairly unimpressed with T-Mobile but they managed to hold onto me as a customer with a fair price plan. Less than a month into my new contract, I received a text telling me my price plan would increase by £1.18/month. I called their customer services to complain to be told by a very rude representative to "read your terms and conditions" which I did. I then tried to cancel my contract, as it stated in the terms and conditions that I have the right to do this without incurring any additional charges if in response to a price increase. The service I received from this point was worst than abysmal! I spoke to three reps including one supervisor, all of whom said they'd call me back when they'd looked into it....none did! I finally tracked down the supervisor who denied I'd ever received a text stating that the prices were to go up so I was unable to leave. I have NEVER received such bad customer service and will be leaving T-Mobile as soon as I can (NOT paying th e £480 cancellation charge!!!)

I renewed my contract last week. I had my long standing discount taken away from me (I have had this line since 1999) as I wouldn't move to EE on a £50+ per month contract. I got my new phone within a few days along with a pay as you go sim card(?) with a new number. Nothing about this was mentioned at the time of ordering. My new phone required a micro sim, and my current sim card was a normal sized one. I waited a few days in case the new sim with my actual number arrived separately and then gave them a call only to be told that T Mobile had run out of sim cards. I was advised to use the pay as you go sim card in my new phone and that if I wanted a micro sim with my current number I would need to go and pay for one at my local branch. This whole episode seems bizarre! I have had to pay more per month to upgrade my phone and current contract (by upgrade I mean pay more per month and get less in terms of package than my previous deal), and I now have to either pay more on a pay as you go to use my new phone, or pay to get a new sim card?!? I am now having to travel with work for the next few days so will not be able to get a sim card with my n ew number until I get back, at which time my cooling off period will have lapsed!!

Ok send it back, its within the 14 days cooling off period. I explain that I wish to continue the contract and merely change the handset. No problem! (Said cust services), send it back (paid for the postage myself) and wen't back to my old iphone if which I had to pay for the sim card myself with no refund so just to sort me out temporarily I spent £20 just to get rid of the thing. The phone has taken a little longer to 'process' and I am advised to call back every day until they get it, in fact its taken another week. So about 12 days for them to process the phone though it had been received the day after I sent it. So they finally receive my phone (after calling them every day)and tell me I can go into my local (Leamington Spa) EE/T-mobile store and I merely swap over the deal, i'm given my policy number and account number, fabulous...so efficient and simple. I walk in and am greeted by some miserable 18 year old, with long copper hair and some brick on a strap round her neck,who looks like she hates work! I get the whole..."Oh there is no upgrade option on your account", My response "I've just been on the phone to head office who tells me there is a note on my account", she responds "Sorry, we don't deal with head office".....REALLY! So I get back onto the phone....get through. It turns out that my contract was actually terminated (even though I made it clear and a note was placed on my account not to do so!), so customer services would see what they could do for me to reverse the issue. The call operator could clearly see the note that had been made and confirmed that they had not read the notes on my account. She told me she would speak to her manager and they would call me back...that never happened. Next day, which is now the twenty first of Jan, same thing again...I call customer service, ten million options in the automated labyrinth. Finally get through to someone (after 30 minutes) who tells me that they can go ahead and amend the phone contract (wow! that was easy!) so go forth and order my Iphone 5. She then tells me she will see if her manager can process the application faster through credit control so I get it the next day, "I'll call you by four"....its now four fifty, nothing. Oh the phone rings. Its her manager, he tells me that he has gone out of his way to call me (he's doing me a HUGE FAVOUR and been in meetings all day) however there is nothing he can do, as my last contract ended and a new one was attempted within 24 hours they wouldn't process the application. Ok, but you ended the contract against my request...then tried a new application without my knowing which could effect my credit rating. We called it quits and I was told I would get my deposit back within 3-5 working days (Though it could take up to 14)...Ummm ok. That day I sorted out a contract with Three...quick easy, upfront and got the product within 24 hours! Brilliant. Next day I call T-mobile again (on my shiny new Iphone) to update my new number so they can contact me and to double check they had cancelled the Blackberry contract. All confirmed, will have my deposit back within 14 days. So I wait and wait and wait.... Its now the 4th Feb (14 days) and nothing!. Once again, call customer service...enter the labyrinth of options, none for customer service on there though. Finally I get through to someone who tells me that my phone call on the 22nd of Jan the amount was credited onto my account but not processed to come back to me. The phone operator had confirmed it was T-mobile's mistake but there was nothing they could do as it was being "Processed" and that she wasn't "Lying to me", even though I never suggested anyone was deceiving me. I just wanted someone who was competent. It's ok, you should receive it between 3-5 days but could take up to 14! REALLY...that means due to your company's incompetence I will have to wait up to a month for my money back. The manager can't process it any quicker, its being 'processed' A few days later, I take to twitter to vent! @Tmobileuk, fabulous, they're getting someone to look into it and it should be with you in a few days. Fabulous. I can't through to a UK based customer services so Twitter always works. Roll on 11th Feb...Nothing. Contact tmobile via twitter, my tweets are deleted and customer services are ignoring my messages, even though they are pleasant. Call customer services, I get told it should be with me by the 13th Feb. Not good enough, but they can't do anything. My verdict. I would rather be phoneless than use T-mobile, Orange or EE ever again. I run a brand and will make sure that we don't use their services and we will be telling our clients.Being with network Three has restored some faith, customer service is great and responsive. Quick and not fathy, oh and they respond to emails and call you back. The sad reailty is, I am not one to complain about things because its too much hassle but these guys deserve it and I woud hate other people to go through what I have been through.

Me and my friend decide to take T- Mobile £36 monthly contract with Iphone 5. This when nightmare begin. We have both paid £109 pound for handset and wait for iphone. Its took around 4 weeks to get phones. Anyway after that first few days there is a no signal at all. We have wait another week and decide to call T mobile. Each time we call them its took 20-25 mins waiting time. When we reach the customer services we have explained that, no or only one bar signal in our working and living area. First they told me there is a big maintanence work going on , so wait few days and everything will be fine. In same time they told my friend, everything looks fine, you should get perfect signal. So very diffrent information and both of them is LIE. After maybe 6-7 phone call to the tmobile, we both heard same story. 5 week later we both decide to leave to tmobile. After 1 hour and 30minutes later with tmobile customer service finally they decide to terminate our contract. Of course we have to pay each £640 pounds. Finally we ask them to unlock our iphones, with £15 pound each phone cost they say they will unlock in 30 days. We have wait 1 week and we both received text message that saying, we cant unlock your phones because your contract is not 3 months old. We both said eachother, there is a mistake, our contract will be end end 20th December 2012. So its idiotic to say your contract is not 3 months old. Again we called them and explain them what happend and why we have terminating our contract and asking them AGAIN to unlock our phone. The answer is simpel NO. The reason is simple, because our contract is not 3 months old. So now we are paying £36 month our monthly unlimited data, text and 2000 minutes which is we cant use. And we will pay next week £641 pounds both of us. Be aware T Mobile is FRAUD. Dont buy it. If you do you will regret it. Once you ask unlock your phone to Vodafone and O2 unlock in 5 minutes and its free. T Mobile is a true scam. No signal most of areas. Such as Harlow, Southgate, Enfield, Chelmsford etc. I was with Vodafone and I never had any problem with them. I cant wait to go back Vodafone.

My dealings with T-Mobile didn't start well when I first setup up my contract 8 months ago. I signed up to a £15/month online sim only deal with £5 discount (£20 down to £15). I got unlimited calls, voicemail, unlimited texts and 1gb data. This 1gb data was download only as browsing and email were unlimited. All in all I was chuffed with what I was being offered. I went through the chat interface on T-Mobiles website. Anyways, got the sim card within days and was ready to go. When my bank balance showed up as paying £20+ a month I called T-Mobile to complain. Luckily I saved the dialogue from the chat screen (just in case). I sent this to T-Mobile who honored the deal. Initial I never got the discount, nor 1gb data (500mb) and no voicemail. All was well and they gave me an extra which I forget now.
After being with T-Mobile for 6 months I got a call as I was eligible for an upgrade. I wasn't gonna complain with that. I was asked if wasnted a handset as I only had a sim only deal. I said I was waiting for the iPhone 5 before making a choice on handsets. So in the mean time they set me up on a £22/month deal. All inclusive, all unlimited including downloads and streaming. Not a bad deal at all. online full monty sim only deal.
When the iPhone 5 was released I called them back up. This time speaking to someone far far away. They said I had no option to get a handset as I was on the sim only deal. I got escalated as I wasn't happy. This put me through to someone at home in the UK. This person was very helpful and tried her best to work out who said what and why. Unfortunately nothing could be done. Alas, I was left with my trusty iPhone 4s. A good phone. As I was looking for a new phone, with a slightly bigger screen etc I decided to look at buying the iPhone 5 outright. After looking into exactly what it has over the iPhone 4s I decided to leave the Apple family and became a Samsung Galaxy S3 fan. Android is good. Not quite as good as iOS but definitely better than it use to be in the early days. The SGS3 is a great phone. Just the right size and does what I need.
Oh, back to T-Mobile. I see a lot of bad reviews. Maybe I have just been luckier than some. Joining Orange to become EE I don't think is a bad thing, well, for now. O2 are no better with customer service. Vodafone, haven't been with them for years and I don't think I'll go back as long as T-Mobile/Orange/EE keep my deal as it is and/or better it.
My contract suits my needs and handset.

They don't listen! Vodafone & Orange use wi-fi in your home to boost the signal if it is a problem with modern phones. I had to use my ancient Nokia from 8 years ago which never dropped 1 call.
My 24 month contract has finally ran out with them, not living in a city, I won't receive the 4G & would rather wait for the prices to come in to real world prices anyway, waiting 10 seconds for a utube video to load doesn't really bother me & everything else is fast enough on wi-fi.

I've been with T-Mobile since 1994 (Mercury, then Mercury 121, then 121, then T-Mobile).
Considering Orange are the worst company I have ever dealt with, took legal action against them once and won, the thought of the 2 companies merging put shivers down me.
And for good reason. Coincidentally or not, T-Mobile's customer service has gone rapidly down hill. The options in their customer service menus send you round in loops making it practically impossible to speak to a person, and when you eventually get through to one (who will be based in Philippines, India, South Africa or Canada) you have a high probability of either being cut off, or simply lied to to get you off the phone, or as in my case when my new phone arrived faulty, made promised of being provided with a replacement new phone that never materialise.
After I sent my faulty phone back 3 times over the course of 6 phone-less Weeks, and received the same faulty phone back each time, I decided to email the European Director of Operations directly. His PA rang me back within 30 minutes and a replacement phone was delivered the next day.
Service like that should be expected as the norm, not by having to contact the CEO!
My attempts to leave T-Mobile this year were equally sour, but being seconds away from signing up elsewhere, I rang back for the PAC code (3rd attempt at doing that), and got through to someone in Wales who talked absolute sense and knew what they were doing. Within minutes they'd offered me a deal I couldn't refuse: HTC One X, 900 cross network mins including Voicemail and 08 numbers, unlimited Landline calls, 500 texts, 750MB data all in for £27 p/m over 24 Months.
Based on the fact that reviews of other service providers are almost as bad if not worse, and the deal couldn't be bettered elsewhere, and the fact that my phone always has full coverage/connection throughout my area, I decided to give them one last chance.
2 star rating is based solely on the quality of coverage in my area. If it wasn't for that, I'd rate zero.
It's also a poor show that it's an industry where we have to settle for the provider that's "least worst"!

As a follow up, I'm almost regretting staying with T-Mobile now. Didn't receive delivery of the phone, after hours of calls to a disinterested T-Mobile I ended up having to chase up the courier service myself. Turned out the phone had been incorrectly addressed to the opposite side of the country. A 50 mile round trip to collect it in the end. The packing slip detailed a £26 handset charge and a £4.50 delivery charge, neither of which had been mentioned at any point when agreeing the contract. Phoned T-Mobile to question it, 30 mins to get through, explained situation and was cut off. 2nd time the call dropped after 20 mins of waiting, 3rd time and another 20 mins waiting, cut off again when explaining the problem. 4th time, I get someone nice who deals with the situation and agrees to refund the charge. 2 hours on the phone in total! Now stuck with them for another 2 years and praying I don't need to call them again!

Coverage-wise T-mobile have been really pretty good. My big issue is with their customer service. If you ever need to phone up you get stuck going round in circles on the menu's never actually able to speak to someone. On the off chance that you do manage to select an option which puts you into a queue to speak to an advisor that's all it is: an endless queue. I've tried to register to use my account online as well but unsuccessfully and when I try to ring for help, guess what happens! I have never yet managed to actually speak to anyone - quite frankly this is appalling. For this reason I am now intending to move networks, it is a real shame as without this issue I'd be more than happy but I can't spend another 2 years unable to speak to my service provider if I have a problem.

I have no issues with T-Mobile at home or in London. But recently went to Swindon and had no signal at all and was constantly locked onto Orange 2G signal. Couldn't get 3G for the life of me. I hope they improve this over time as for topping up £15 I get unlimited texts, 500mb data and keep that £15 as credit which no other network can touch. If they improve their signal in certain areas it'd be 5 stars but sadly they are lacking in some areas. Also I find their CS and responses to emails very good. Signal is their only downside at the moment.

Warning. If you are going overseas from the UK you might like to think about de-activating your international roaming with T-Mobile. We took a holiday over in Turkey and ended up having £500 deducted from our account by direct debit for call charges that were supposed to have been on a local sim dual sim mobile phone. Apparently the hand set they supplied allowed international roaming on the T Mobile sim but would only accept a T Mobile sim card. We phoned customer service and were kept on the phone for ages. We were told they would look into the bill and re-calculate it and get back to us. One week later guess what - no news. We phoned them for them to casually tell us that they had decided the bill was valid. I have cancelled our direct debit with this awful company and will not renew or ever use them again for business or private use. The call charges are pure extortion and well above normal European call charge rates. You will get a much better minute for minute deal with 02. Daylight Robbery. Avoid like the plague.

At first I was blaming it on my innocent HTC Wildfire however after talking to other tmobile users I soon realised that i wasn't the only one whose signal cut out randomly in 'full signal' areas while standing still. The Internet is also terrible, it can take up to 3 minutes just to open a page, and most of the time the signal is so weak it just gives up and tells me there is no Internet connection. I also found it impossible to take the child lock off my Internet because I don't have a credit card, finally figured that one out, and the final thing that gets my goat the most is the 10p charge to use the answer phone, a service that I had free with orange. Overall I think it is a terrible network and will be looking into more than just price next time I get a contract, cheap is not always cheerful!

I kept contacting t-mobile to fix the issue aswell as going in store to have the phone (Sony Ericsson Vivaz Pro -WORST PHONE EVER by the way) sent off for repair only for it to come back with nothing done as nothing was wrong. So the problem HAD to be with the provider. I kept being told to call 150 from my handset, even though I couldn't and they didn't seem to understand that I COULDN'T MAKE CALLS. This was all over e-mail, and it was only when I demanded a new phone several times after there was a number of attacks and break ins in my area and I was scared that if I got into trouble I wouldn't be able to rely on my phone for contact. After telling them this, I finally got a new phone.
But the problem wasn't fixed and I still couldn't make calls in my house and the singal was still generally bad everywhere I was.
Eventually I saved enough money to buy myself out of my remaining 7 months of a 18 month contract and currently using the advice on here to find a new provider. Hopefully the next one won't be as troublesome!

After 7 years in which I have seen my plan increase year on year without an offer of reduction and having to take T-Mobile to CISAS and claim back £200 in over charging that they disputed, I am now looking for a honest and reliable phone provider. T-mobile, despite an advertising slogan of offering a 'fixed tariff' are now increasing my bill further because of a small print in their terms and conditions stating that fixed prices can actually be increased and decreased with the level of RPI. Though I never saw a reduction in my bill when RPI fell into minus figures during 2009-2011 and when RPI was at its lowest levels for decades. The company seems from my personal experience intent on milking customers for all they are worth and offering little in support. My mobile bill is confusing and a request for a proper breakdown of costs to T-Mobile resulted in several repeated requested emails of which I am still none the wiser because they were reluctant to answer my questions and avoided simple answers. Even my latest request on how to cancel my contract with T-mobile on its maturity seem to be something that they are unwilling to disclose. I am aware that they are guilty of deliberately extending a contract an additional month for profit if customers do not notify them at least 30 days before the final contract month. From my experience - Avoid T MOBILE

T-Mobile - 'We can't improve, go to ofcom' I took a 2 year mobile contract with T-mobile in Aug 2010. In September 2011, I moved from postcode SE7 8AY to my own place at SE7 7FL, both in London, just 10 min walk apart. Since then I got sub-standard service from T-mobile with calls dropping and network fluctuation, incoming calls going direct into voicemail. The problems persists outside the house too. I reported about this problem in Oct 2011 and I was made to run from one department to another with long holds. I was promised call-backs which I never received, leaving me to chase them every month. Finally, on March 24th 2012, Shaun from the technical team confirmed that they cannot improve the (T-Mobile and Orange ) network in the Mask around postcode and he cannot help me. I am free to go to ofcom. It is important to note that , 1)SE7 7FL is 10 minutes walk from Charlton station which is zone 3 of London. It is not some rural area. 2)Vodafone and O2 have good service at this postcode. 3)T-mobile accepts the fact that their network in that mask is bad. 4)They want to hide behind the fact I moved from the original postcode no matter how close it is. 5)After 6 months of bad network, they still want me to pay the termination charges if I want to leave or keep paying 30 pounds every month till August 2012. So unfair. Avoid T-mobile at any cost. They will sell you services on the name of unlimited usage without having a real bandwidth to provide it. Along with the bad network, You'll never get anything above 500mb in terms of Data in reality.Stick to O2 where you pay for the services you definitly get.

TMobile are right. If you ask for your PAC and don't use it within the given timescale (usually around 30 days) then your contract will carry on as normal. Unlucky!

I blamed my iphone3gs for bad, or pooor reception but seems is not just me, signal drops alot if i set my phone on manual on t-mobile network i lose completly the network every couple of minutes standing still outside and varies from 1 line 2g to maximum and drops along the way, t-mobile I ve joined 4 years ago is worse and worse signal wise... I will change as soon as posible... Sometimes in london I have signal and i cannot get a text through, hangs when i want to initiate a call and so on...

i wish that there was a 0 setting because t-mobile are the worst. let me say my story well i was already on t-mobile had no problems untill i wanted to upgrade to a blackberry. so this guy comes on the phone and tells us unlimated texts, 50 mins, unlimeted internet all for £15 a month and insurence (newest blackberry curve 9360). so the phone comes and its a blackberry curve 8520 i'm not happy so i send it back and complain. we say that this guy who sent us the phone lied about the phone and they said that he never said anything like that. blatant lie. so then we go and speak to managers and head supervisors and they apologise and say we can cancell with t-mobile. so the next day we call again and to the retraction team to ask for the puk number. they tell us that we have 6 months left on our contract. i argue for about 3 hours untill one of the t-mobile people swear at me. then they hang up i call again cancell my debit account. they send me letters and i put my account back because i don't want to get a bad credit review. so now after they lied to me about 5 times i am paying 7.50 every month along with my vodaphone contract that i got so now i pay £21 months caude t-mobile are lyers. we should put them out of buisness suely this isn't legal.
