T-Mobile Moved to a No Coverage area--T-Mobile

22nd of Sep, 2011 by User492727

I called back in June to notify them of lack of signal where I moved to. I was told by the Customer Care representative that I need to file a trouble ticket and if they find you have no service they will allow you to cancel without an Early Termination Fee. We made it through the summer since the kids were at home. School started and I cannot reach my kids in our own neighborhood. So I called on September 11 and filed a trouble ticket and was told that I would hear back in 72 hours. 72 hours became a week of me calling back to their Customer Care with hold times of up to 1 hour. My call on September 17, 2011 after requesting to be transferred to the Retention department found out that their Rep wrote back stating there is no coverage and that there would be an expansion by January 2012. I was told by the Retention Rep that I should not have moved to a Non-coverage area. "Its not T-mobile's fault that you moved there, you should have looked at the coverage maps." By the way the coverage map states that I have "Good" coverage. (DO NOT TRUST THE MAP). I said that I was told that if I did not have coverage that I could cancel without a termination fee. She said "We cannot do that, If you want to write Customer Relations @ Customer Relations PO Box 37380 Albuquerque, NM 87176 You can tell them what you would like or ask what your options are. I wrote the letter in the next 10 min and got it out in the same day's mail. Today September 21, 2011 I received a letter from Robert Briesyn of Customer Relations T-Mobile USA, Inc.
