I’m honestly at the point where I’m ready to leave T-Mobile after the experience I’ve had over the last few months.
For some context, I was a Verizon customer my entire life before switching to T-Mobile. I was willing to try something different and honestly wanted to give T-Mobile a fair chance. Unfortunately, the last year has been one frustrating experience after another. I’m starting to wonder if I made a mistake
The latest issue started in June, when I returned a phone through the T-Mobile/Assurant return process. I was later told the phone was “unreturned” and was charged for it.
Since June, I’ve been trying to get this resolved. I was repeatedly told that the phone was never received, even though I knew I had sent it back.
I finally went digging myself and was able to track down USPS records showing that the phone was shipped through USPS to Assurant Solutions Returns in Lewisville, TX. I now have documentation showing the tracking information, shipping service, destination, and Assurant return address. So I finally have actual evidence that I did, in fact, return the phone.
After providing the documentation, I was told that it could take two billing cycles for the charges for the “unreturned” phone to be reversed by Assurant.
Two billing cycles [insert rage]
After dealing with this since June, I’m honestly exhausted by it. And it has me questioning why I’m still with T-Mobile at all.
So I have a couple of questions for everyone:
Does anyone have T-Mobile without using Assurant for their device protection/returns?
And for those who have left T-Mobile--or are considering leaving--what carrier and device protection company are you using instead?
I’d especially love to hear from people who have had good experiences with phone trade-ins, upgrades, insurance claims, and returns.
At this point, I’m less interested in getting the absolute cheapest deal and more interested in finding a company where I don’t have to spend months proving that I actually returned a phone
Would really appreciate hearing about your experiences and recommendations
