T-Clueless - Desire General

My partner has had a very bad experience with these guys. Been with them for years but never had to really talk to anyone. I'm having her upgrade so i'm most peeved off haha. To sum it all up in short.
* She was repeatedly disconnected when ringing them.
* She was repeatedly put on hold for up to 25 minutes at a time.
* She was given false information.
* She was spoken to very rudely at times.
She first rang on Wednesday and they said she could pay what she owes and start a new contract and get a new phone. She was told they HAD the Desire and for all the trouble they put her through she could have free next day delivery. They later that day rang to say they no longer had it and stock would come Friday so they would contact her then.
Friday comes and she receives a text saying her phone has been ordered. She rings up to confirm and they have put her on the wrong contract and say it will come for Monday. She says she was promised next day delivery but they say it's not possible for free... She has a new order put in and has to pay the roughly £8 for GUARANTEED (their words) next day delivery.
Saturday comes and no show. She calls them and is told it will arrive Monday. Obviously she is not happy as we both work and nobody will be home and she has paid for GUARANTEED next day delivery. They admit fault and refund delivery money. She says she is not happy and wants to cancel however the phone has actually left them so it's not possible now.
So we wait for Monday. If they told her in the first place that it would HAVE to be Monday no other option then she would be fine with it but with all the disconnections, on holds and rudeness she is not pleased and i'm not either to be honest.
Just to top it off i come on here and see all you lovely people receiving your handsets today and i'm forced to wait It's nice to see other people having a good experience with T-Mobile. Doesn't seem to be many like me. Sorry for the rant.

i think all networks are like that from time to time.
I never had any problems with o2 and everytime i ring them they were helpful and nice. however after i cancelled my contract 2 days ago i cant get hold of them to get my pac code :/

Log into your o2 my account and email them from there.
I asked for it Thursday evening via email, it was in my inbox this morning
I'd like to inform you that I've generated the PAC Code for you to
transfer your number. PAC (Port Authorisation Code) is required to
transfer your number to another service provider. Yours is GENxxxxxx and
is valid until 25 April 2010.
The PAC should be given to your new Service Provider, who'll then
collect your mobile number from us. We'll close your account just as
soon as your mobile number is transferred.
If the PAC isn't used by 25 April 2010, your account will remain open
and you'll continue to be charged your usual monthly tariff. The final
bill will be generated for your account within 7 to 14 days of the
disconnection date. The payment will be requested on or after 14 days
from your final bill date by Direct Debit.
I hope I've explained this clearly for you.
Thank you for taking the time to write to us.
kind regards
Jatin

@ ARBK
when you submit the email have you been transferred to a confirmation page or it went straight back to the Customer Service - Your details page? cuz i dont know if it has been sent or not :/

T mobile no stock till next week at earliest 7/4

even though i ordered mine last week -- there is no more t mobile stock, if you have not got the "winging email" you will NOT be getting your desire. they have run out.
they cannot even give a firm date for stock. estimate 7th april to them.
so even though the confirmation email that states 48 hours if you order before 5pm on a weekday is untrue. (i wish people would just tell the truth).
so sorry people but don't hold your breath.

I think it depends on whether you called them up as well, or not.
I put my order into the TMobile website on Friday morning (30th) at around 930am.
After reading on this forum about delays and no stock I then called them up Friday afternoon at approx 430pm - I was told that all the initial stock of 1400 (or 1600, I can't remember which) was gone, so I would not be receiving a phone the next day.
The sales agent then went on to tell me they were expecting another delivery of 500 that evening, and they would be sent to customers on Monday, to arrive Tuesday (1st). He then searched for my web-order and manually pushed it through to ensure I would get a phone from this 2nd batch. He then called back to confirm it would be sent out Monday and arrive between 8am-1pm Tues. I assume if I hadn't called then my order would've been dealt with chronologically along with all the other website orders.
I called again just now, querying why I had not had the "winging it's way to you" email, and was told that my order had been completed by their phone team, and they don't send those emails out. And my phone will definitely arrive tomorrow before 1pm
I feel a bit bad that I might have jumped the queue, but hey it's TMobile that decided to do that because I rang up chasing it, not me!
i have just called tmobile and placed an upgrade order with the loyalty team - they have them in stock for next day delivery and got a cracking deal as well!
I ordered mine Friday afternoon. It's just come now but i have to go back to work
Will leave it at home charging lol.
Just spoke to my business manger on Tmobile stock coming in on wednesday and mine is coming on thursday...happy days
I too have just ordered my Desire from T-Mobile!! Also said I should have it by Thursday, if not before...
For those that are interested, this was my second attempt at getting them to agree to matching the deals on mobilephonesdirect, so worth trying again if at first you do not succeed (thanks to whoever it was on these forums for suggesting I do that!).
For info (new customer) - 600min, 500 txt, £30/month 18 month contract, and they waived the £60 handset cost.
I am VERY excited!!!

thats a good deal! as an existing customer i got an offer of £22.50 per month on my existing flext 40 tariff and free phone - 18 month contract
I still don't understand how Tmobil is the sole shop to sell the Desire before 7th April in the whole world
Are HTC testing the Desire on a very limited market??

What numbers are people ringing to get through to living human beings?
I rang the help line (0845 412 5000) (also rang the sales line but I was neither an existing customer or someone looking to buy a new phone, I already ordered on the net so I hung up) and pressed the correct number for "in the process of ordering" and got told to put in my mobile number, which I don't have since my phone hasn't arrived!
It's my first time ordering from T-Mobile and they don't seem to have a "go straight to a live human being" option on their phone system, is my best bet just to ring sales and push the "new customer" button and then tell them my order is active already and I want some information?
Thanks for any responses

Cheers for that mate, hopefully that will include the exchange/returns stock
I just spoke to them on the sales number (i pressed * a couple of times and got put through eventually) and they said that they didn't know whether there would be another shipment on Wednesday although there should be one this week...
hmmm.. why are there never any straight answers.
I had the 'winging its way to you' email on Thursday.. nothing has arrived, so I called them today and was told it went out of stock after they sent the email - now he said they have no stock and that it's expected within 7 days.
No idea why the hell I got the email if it hadn't even left them though!
I'll have to wait and see if anything turns up!
carphone Warehouse
I've been waiting to pick one up instore from t mobile everyone is saying two weeks or they don't know. after searching i saw that is available on payasyou go on orange in carphone warehouse so i might pick one up tomorrow there phones are normally unlocked.
I ordered mine as an upgrade Friday afternoon and got it early Saturday morning.
It seems to me that everyone who has spoken to the actual sales team has had their order fast-tracked. So all of us who ordered online are getting put to the back of the queue. Just need to think of a way to make them want to fast-track you.

You know Layar has a layer for coffeeshops in A'dam? Quite handy.
well all I can say is I feel I was talking to an honest rep who assured me that there are none left and that they honestly do not know a firm date for future deliveries, this was after getting the usual runaround several reps
so if you get yours then great, but as I said I wouldnt hold my breath.

EVO 4g Rebate -- Status?!

Has anyone received their $100 MIR from Sprint from the June 4th launch?
The rebate won't process until after the 30 day period, so I would imagine not many have received it yet. I got an email tuesday that mine was processing. Bought my Evo on 6/11 and sent in the rebate on 7/6. They received my rebate form on 7/13.
oh and btw, the launch was 6/4, not the holiday
I haven't received mine yet and have just passed the 30 day mark as of one week ago. I sent an email to the Support email provided in the rebate "status" page, but haven't yet received a response.
I plan on calling up customer care if I don't get a reply in another week or so...

Not tryin to be a d!ck but the process usually states that it will take like 4-8 weeks. If you're just trying to get them to expedite the process I understand, but realistically I wouldnt expect any $$ for at least a month after its started 'processing.' It appears you've only given them a week and a half so far.
Yes, typically, the rebate process is not quick at all. Give it the full 8 weeks, chances are, you'll get it around week 7. (from past experience)
agreed, typically you'll get it towards the end of the "up to 8 weeks" they tell you it takes.
Rebate
I actually recieved a denial letter in the mail. Took it to the store employee I bought it from, and she resubmitted it.
Just though it important to note...
If you had to swap out your phone for another for any reason after already submitting the MIR, you will need to re-submit one for the 2nd phone (assuming it was a within 30 day exchange). The first MIR will end up being rejected.
Got a letter today telling me it was rejected because they did not get the right sales receipt, even though I orded online, and sent in everything they asked me to (before I actually received my evo).
Oh well, now I got my shipping receipt, i'll send that in. (But I also exchanged my phone within the 30 days, due to some issues... but I have no new information... hopefully I don't get rejected again).

6-8 Weeks seems to be the norm from my past experience with many phones / rebates over 10+ yrs w/ Sprint.
I bought my EVO at Best Buy (1st come 1st serve) when Sprint Stores had a waiting list and their website had the "i'm sorry but you can't get one message..." I was shocked to walk into Best Buy Renew My contract and get the phone for $199 + tax out the door. No 8week wait for the MIR.
The Icing was when I called Sprint Tech Support to get my MSL Code 3 days later and the rep tells me I'm eligible for a credit if I extend my contract... Hmmm? The same one I "just" extended @ Best Buy (2 yrs from that day?). I was happy to extend for 3 more days and a $70 Credit that was applied while I was on the phone. Gotta love inefficiencies.
"checks are in the mail..."

Awesome feedback to this post. I was unaware of https://www.sprintrebates.com and also never considered that the processing period would not begin until after the 30-day "trial".
My status:
Date Received: 06-17-2010
Status Detail: Your rebate is approved and is in the final stages of processing and should be mailed to you within the next 30 days. Thank you
Thanks everyone!
anyone received their check yet?
I received my check yesterday. I bought the phone around 20th of June.....
I just deposited the rebate check I got today in the mail.
I haven't even checked on mine yet. I got an email awhile back that said they received my mail. Of course, I was told it would take ~14 weeks to get it back too. I think I'm going to go check on it....

My Note II is backordered :(

I ordered it online on October 25, and today called ATT and they told me it's on back order. When will it ship? They don't know. Sounds familiar...
All the 3 phones in my plan are out of contract so I am free to choose any carrier. Been with ATT since 2004, a bit too long I guess.
So I am thinking of this: cancel my pre-order, and walk into BestBuy on Nov 9, and whoever has the Note II on the shelf will win the bid and become my next carrier.
Call them back... be extremely polite. If you get a script reader, just hangup and call back.
Eventually, you'll get a non-script person... Explain how this presents a hardship to you. Explain that you actually had to take a day off of work due to unreliable UPS/FedEx deliveries (or people stealing deliveries.. or whatever.) Chat with the customer service rep. Make them feel important.
Perhaps AT&T can give you a credit of $100 to help offset the time you are losing from work due to their error? (I'm not going to tell you how often this has worked for me.. )
Then, watch as your phone is delivered on the 9th anyway.
Oh, and they are all showing as "back-ordered" in their system until the moment they switch to "shipped." That tends to happen when you PRE-order a phone.
Take care
Gary
Thanks for the advice. It looked like I ran into a script reader in the first run. I will give it another try. If it still doesn't work I will tell them Verizon just called and I mean it LOL.

On the web pages for my order, it says "Processing", "Pending Shipment", and "Preorder Processing". It doesn't say "back-ordered". But maybe that's the term the customer support staff use.

I got the same info x2h but, i was also told 5000+ units have already arrived.
To clarify a bit, the order status for my Note 2 on the web page is "Preorder Processing". However when I called AT&T, the person said it's back ordered, meaning I will not get it on the November 9 date as previously announced.
So when will I get it? I asked.
"We will let you know".
Yeah right.
Don't give up hope. Keep following up on your order status via website. ATT customer service reps tend to make up things sometimes. Source - I'm an ex-att cust. service rep.
As horrible as it sounds, your forum members are right in telling you to rep shop (keep calling back to get the rep you want). ATT doesn't like this as it hogs up their queue, but sometimes it needs to be done to get the job done right.
Well heres the update. tried calling them two more times and I can't even get to a real person, after waiting forever. I am canceling it. Guess I will stick to my WM HD2 a little longer.

Thanks for that my friend. It shows me the same status of "Processing" or "In progress", which means nothing. Good to know others are getting shipping confirmation. I am hoping to bring this phone with me on an International trip on 11/11, now it looks like I am screwed. Thank you AT&T.

Better than a middle finger emoticon:
Several people have hit AT&T up for credits. Do some digging and then hit them on their bottom line.
Consider it something to do while you wait.

I pre-ordered over the phone on 11/5. Just checked my status and it shows shipped from Fort Worth, TX and will arrive by the 9th.
I ordered through premiere with a company discount if that makes any difference.
My phone is backordered also
Preordered 10/25
They originally stated shipping 11/06
The next person stated they ran out and it was a first come first serve basis. That was a lie. If you look at their own forum
on att's website, you will see people who ordered way after and their phone is shipping.
Now they state they will start shipping 11/09, and that just means they will start shipping more orders which doesn't guarantee mine.
They violated their own policy of "first come, first serve" as stated on their own site when you preorder.
AT&T customer service departments do not have integration at all. Their logistics execution is horrible.

I preordered 10/25 thru premiere with a company discount, and I am told mine is definitely backordered. Isn't that great.
Same for me, company discount, preordered on 10/25, and now it's backordered, so I canceled it.

Are you planning on purchasing in store on launch day? I would've asked for credit towards my future bills for the inconvenience.
I ordered early Nov and yesterday I was told the same thing about being backordered . I called and chatted about 10 times. The reps are completely clueless (I'm guessing its not their fault they just dont get good info). Well around 10pm my order went from processing to shipped and I will receive phone today (according to fedex tracking - i paid the $15 for overnight). I am happy now, but I was pissed all day yesterday. I need to get a life.
well here's the latest update again. I canceled my preorder online last night. this morning an email comes in that my cancel was "unsuccessful". and then another emails that says my phone has been shipped, with FedEx tracking number. it has just left the Texas wharehouse. Expected delivery Nov 9 by 4:40 pm.
I am going to return it and tell them to put it on backorder.
OK one last update. Took the advice of others and called AT&T one last time. And the result is surprising:

You mean to tell men you've been with ATT since 2004 and you haven't learned to not call their service and NEVER rely on their answers? Preorderd 10/25 and it got here 11/08 10am.
They are clueless and don't know any more than what their website tells them.
And to those in the thread that seem to think otherwise, November 6 was the *Estimated* ship date. Nowhere was that day written in stone.

DO NOT buy from Google play..

Here is my story hopefully this makes its rounds on the internet. No company should EVER treat its customers this way...
I attempted to cancel my order using the cancel button on my order page and was told that I needed to contact the Google Play Help Center.
I called the Help Center and told the customer service representative that I wanted to cancel my order. The woman who answered the phone told me that she was unable to cancel my order as it had already been processed - even though the watches are not scheduled to leave the warehouse until 9/19. I asked to speak to her supervisor.
The customer service supervisor got on the phone and told me that they could not cancel my order as it had already been processed and the order was sent to the warehouse. I reminded him that my order was not even going to ship for another 7 days and therefore he should be able to cancel the order. He told me he was unable to do that. He told me I had to wait until the watches shipped, then refuse the package and AFTER they receive it back, I would be credited the $512. He also informed me that once it left Google, it could take 10 days for me to receive it, refuse it, and then another 10 days to send it back. That is a total of 27 days. I asked to speak to his supervisor and he refused. I asked for his name and at first, he did not want to give it to me. When I pressed him, he told me "David". I asked for his last name and he refused. I asked for an employee number or some other identifier that I could use when writing a letter. He again refused to give me anything. He told me my only option was to wait and refuse the package. He told me that the "leaves the warehouse" date on my order was a "no later than date" and that it could leave sooner. I asked him to tell me exactly what day my order was scheduled to ship - since it had already been processed and sent to the warehouse. David told me that he couldn't give me that information because "IT WAS BACKORDERED"! THEY DID NOT HAVE THE WATCH IN STOCK! They couldn't cancel an order on a watch they didn't physically have-I had to wait until they received a shipment, processed it, shipped it to me, and then refuse it and return it!! I told him that this was absolutely ridiculous and I wanted to speak to his supervisor. He told me he "just remembered" he could cancel an order if it wasn't in stock and he put me on hold. When he came back he told me he would transfer me to shipping and returns and Cassandra would help me. He transferred the call and told me she would be able to help me.
Cassandra told me that she was unable to cancel my order and that I would have to wait for it to arrive, refuse shipment, and allow it to be sent back. I told her that was unacceptable and I wanted to speak to her supervisor, she refused. She then informed me that I had ONE HOUR after placing my order in which to cancel it! ONE HOUR! I told her that was ridiculous and she told me that was their policy. I asked her why there is a cancel button attached to my order if I am not able to cancel it after one hour. She told me she couldn't answer that. I again told her that I should be able to cancel the order when the item is backordered. She told me she didn't know if the watches were backordered and so I asked her to transfer me to the warehouse where I could speak to someone who knew the current stock status. She told me that they don't have a phone in the warehouse!!!! I again asked for her supervisor and she refused. She said "I will pass on your feedback when we discuss customer feedback issues." I said that was unacceptable and she asked if she could help me with anything else. I told her she hasn't helped me at all. She said: "I'll pass on your feedback". End of conversation.
Wow! I didn't expect that from Google Play costumerservice! Like you said that's just ridiculous!! They should easily canceled it

Just went through the same damn thing....
It clearly says on their website that you can cancel as long as it hasnt shipped.
This is complete BULL****! Outright customer deception.
I had a terrible experience purchasing the first nexus 7 from google play. My unit was defective and getting a hold of someone was impossible. They had the balls to remove their contact phone number when tons of people started having issues with their devices and orders. Luckily some websites made a screenshot of their support page that still had their phone number listed. Even with the phone number I was not really being helped. Lots of run arounds and "I can't do that". That experience has left an extremely bitter taste in my mouth from ever ordering any kind of hardware from google play. I think they have gotten better since then but I have no interest in testing that out first hand.
really wow screw them see if you can file a chargeback or something
You got a bad CS rep and manager. Did you try calling back and another time? Every company has it's bad apples.

I was able to simply go to my google play account and cancel the order.
"Cancel or change your order. Please note that changes may not be possible after the first hour."
You get than in their email from google right away.
Dispute the charge with your credit card company.

^^ THIS!! Call your Bank or Credit company and explain to them that you have not receive the item, it is out of stock for an undetermined amount of time, and that they will not Cancel/refund you. Your Bank/Credit company will handle it from there. Once you Get your Money Refunded from your Bank/Credit company then File a Complaint with BBB and send an email to every Google Play's CS email you can find online with your BBB complaint/file number and story about "David". Mention that you would like them to contact you ASAP and watch the magic happen after that!

Sounds about status quo for Google. That particular NSA front is pretty bad at customer service.
Thank you, I won't buy any hardware from Google play after reading this!
I remember my Nexus 4 being delayed on the google play store...and then when it actually shipped I paid for the 2 day shipping but it took 4 business days to arrive. I contacted google support to at least get a shipping refund or credit, but they offered nothing except for an apology. Wouldn't use them again!
I ordered the G watch on release but canceled it within 10 minutes and had no problem.
All of you that say you'll never buy from the play store again must not use nexus devices.
Thanks God I have chosen Amazon to pre-order the EU version.
They are light-years forward when we talk about customer service!
Looks like my order shipped last night 2:30am eastern time!

Note 7 Refund Status?

Ive sent in 2 note 7's almost a month and a half ago to samsung, first i called them they sent me a box within a box within a box within a box times 2, sent them to texas they got them 3 days later said my check for 2 note 7's are being processed the check should get there no later than the 21st of OCT. well as time came no check showed up. called samsung again to see the status of it and they said "well we just started giving paper refunds a week ago yours has been processed but theres no ETA. Mind you i am on a cheap phone waiting for this check so i can buy a google pixel xl outright. has anyone in the same boat as me recieved their refund yet or are they just blowin smoke up my ass???
This whole process has been smoke blowing you know where.... Whoever thought of treating their most loyal customers this way should be fired! I have had multiple (for family members TOO) Note 2, Note 3, Note 4, Note 5, and now note7. They should refund us to collect the phones. Then give us a temp s7 edge that we can exchange for the note 8 for no more than half price or something along those lines. THIS IS THE ONLY REASONABLE SOLUTION!!!! Even then we have to wait for our Ferrari for unknown time to get "out of the repair shop" so that aspect might be worth the $100 customer service credit but i lean to "not enough samsung" on that one too.
The google pixel is looking better and better. If google was smart they would make their version of the note 7 asap and release it because they will get all of samsungs currently pissed off customers.

Still waiting from Oct 24th. Was told I would receive check end of this week still no check
Has ANYONE received a check back from Samsung? I am now over a month and this is ridiculous!
Anyone get there check yet? I sent in Quite a few Note 7 the same way in a box they sent me to ship to Texas, which is where I reside as well. I have received no check yet for any of them. It has been over 2 weeks on the first 5 I sent to them for a refund in the form of a check. I just wanted to see if anyone has got paid back yet. Please keep everyone updated if you do get your check so the rest of us have high hopes. Lol

No check yet, but a lot of us did receive an email stating that the check is coming via UPS but yet I have no tracking number and STILL no check... They need to quit bull****tin!
I wonder why they would not send a tracking number if it's coming UPS? I'm am very disappointed in the way they are handling these returns. It seems very unorganized.
Tl; dr:
Should've just saved yourselves what seems to be never ending stress and kept your Note 7's.
Oh well, we live and learn…
That is a nice thought and all, but you aren't letting us... thanks phone company!!!! =(

I was just told today that they are not coming UPS and instead they are coming via the post office ( snail mail ). I was told several times before this that the checks would be sent out via UPS overnight, but apparently that was a lie too... Agent told me that if I did not receive the check by next week Tuesday that I should call back in and they would re-process the check, whatever that means?
Same old story

It's been about 22 business days since they have received my phone and I've called multiple times. If I don't get it by X date call back so I have, this time it was on a Sunday and I spoke to someone claiming he was 2 stories above the refund team but would solve all my problems by emailing the manager of that floor which should contact me back within 72hrs. It's now five days later no call, no check, and no reason to call them again since you never can get a real answer for where's my check? I'm done calling them hopefully a fellow xda member will post when they receive their's. If a class action lawsuit over this refund check situation I will definitely be signing up. Stuck using my son's BLU phone for the past month.

I just don't understand how they can send a check for about a thousand dollars right through the mail and NOT have some type of tracking number!!?? It's CRAZY to me.... On top of that, they had NO record of the tracking number for the Note 7 that I sent to Stericycle, so therefore they could not give me any info on that either. This has got to be the WORST customer service I have dealt with in quite some time! I will post my check as soon as it comes so that others know I received it. Take care and good luck...

Thanks bro, I'm wondering if Stericycle was the right choice for this. The lack of information between them and Samsung is ridiculous. I also had to provide my tracking number to Sammy and they put it in my notes. You would think it would be as simple as open, check imei, forward approved list to Sammy and put check in the mail. Even if my check was late but I had the ability to check the status of my return on a simple website, I wouldn't be as aggravated over it. The lack of answers after I send off a $900 phone in good faith has swayed me from buying anther product from them.
Maybe Stericycle is just overwhelmed by the amount of N7s coming in that it's taking them a week to even open the box once they receive it. But come on Samsung make a statement and tell your customers whats really going on.
I received mine yesterday. I traded mine in just before Oct 22

So how did it come? Please leave specifics because there are a lot of people that have been waiting a LONG time and more details would be helpful...
Maybe there waiting for just before black Fri so they can sell us on some explosive deals. I want a free gear s3 and a check now for playing with my emotions

LMAO !! You know I am so pissed that I decided to call in AGAIN just now. So now I am told by a supervisor that the checks are indeed being sent via UPS and NOT USPS like I was told on my last call (yesterday). And I have a service called "UPS My Choice" , which is a service that immediately notifies me if anyone has addressed a package to me and when that specific package is scheduled to be delivered. Guess what? There are NO packages scheduled to be delivered to me, so that means that the check has not even been sent out of their building yet. So the email that everyone received on Tuesday letting them know that the checks are on their way and will take 2-3 business days to arrive, was BULL****!! Just one more lie to the MANY lies they have already told us... I hate Samsung SOOOOOO much right now!
Yup got mychoice email for the return box, nothing for a check. I'd be happy to get the bs email. What did it say?
