I paid what was agreed in my T-Mobile payment arrangement, but my service was still shut off and I spent over an hour filing a complaint with customer care the next day. After already paying a $40 reactivation fee the week before, they tried charging it again. It felt unfair and exhausting trying to sort it out. - Bethany

I made a complaint to T-Mobile after my bill suddenly increased despite being told my monthly price would stay the same when I switched.

I filed a complaint with T-Mobile after my internet connection was down for days, which meant I couldn’t work. Although they offered one credit, it didn’t cover the income I lost while waiting for service to return. The disruption made a difficult situation even more stressful to manage. - Douglas
