Suspended Lines - Not Even 30 Days Past Due
I was in complete shock when T-Mobile suspended our service not even 30 days past the due date. They turned them of 26 days past due. Charge $20 per line to be turned back on, $100 to turn all our phones back on for not even being 30 days past the due date. Our bill is typically never late, we have had a day or two behind over the years and maybe once or twice over the last 18 years that we have been with T-mobile we might have let a bill slide by and not realize it until we get next months bill. It is not a regular occurrence, you think they would have some grace period. I am still blown away that only 26 days late and they suspended our plan, per text at 8:00 A.M. on 2/2. As soon as I saw that they were going to suspend the lines if I didn't pay the past due pmt I settled up a little after 8:00 A.M that same morning. I had meant to pay it that Friday 1/31, but mom life and I got side tracked and it slipped. I knew my next bill was due 2/6 so it was on my mind that I needed to get the large balance paid. My phone wasn't shut off until later that night after 10:00p.m of 2/2, which was odd since I had settled up with them that morning and used my phone just fine that day. I noticed when I did get on my account that I paid to have the phones reactivated on 2/2 around 8:00 A.M which matched up to the confirmation time I received once I paid, shortly after receiving the notice of the lines possibly could be suspended. Then I have each lines showing on 2/2 at 10:02 p.m that they suspended the lines, which makes sense why a few calls I tried to make didn't go through. I later found out that the following morning 2/3 my friend had been trying to call me and none of her attempts had gone through until the late morning. Do you think that they have any information on past due bills and how long before they will suspend your lines anywhere to be found easily or at all? I don't always want or need to waste my time calling customer care, I prefer not to as they have gone to trash as well. Everyone is so rude and unhelpful. I guess T-mobile just does what ever pleases them and will suspend everyone at different times, as I saw someone was 33 day past their due date. They were stating/complaining how T-mobile was going to be suspending their line when they were ONLY 33 days past due. If I didn't have an old plan that was grandfathered in, I would NOT be staying with T-mobile.

I really do not like tmobile at all, I really wish sprint never sold out to them! They literally suspended my phones this morning after only 3 days of being late! I've never heard of any place in my entire life, shutting services off for being a couple days late. The shortest I've ever heard is a week. Apparently they are the one company that has no grace period and will shut them off whenever they feel like it, I've been over 20 something days late before and still had service but this time i didn't even get a full 3 days, since it was shut off bright and early this morning and I even made a payment 4 days ago too. After I called in and talked to them they are giving me credit on NEXT months bill for the $60 in restoration fees but after they suspended us after only 3 days we will be finding another carrier very soon especially since our phones only have one more payment before they're completely paid off and I was with sprint for over 15 years but tmobile is nothing like them and they do not care about their customers and will gouge you every chance they get they are also the only phone service I've had that will charge restoration fees and at 20 a line that's outrageous.

I like the Customer Service better when it was Sprint before the Merger!! This Customer Service is TERRIBLE. You’re treated more so as a Number than a Customer of 10 plus years. Ridiculous Fees Fees Fees Fees!
I’ll start looking this week for another Cellphone Provider.
