T-Mobile

I have been to this store a few times and have always had a pleasant experience but today possibly topped all of them. My mom has had T-​Mobile as her service provider for several years now (around 5 years and before that she didn’t have a cellphone) but she has been wanting to get a smartphone recently but did not want to sign another contract and pay a lot of money for certain options. I told her that she should go with their prepaid plan so she doesn’t pay a fortune for certain things like texting and exceeding on her monthly minutes. When she finally decided on it, I had purchased a prepaid phone for her to use. I wanted to get everything set up for her before she flies back home so we went over to this T-​Mobile store this afternoon to try to take care of things. The associate who helped us, Corey, was very nice. I explained to him what I needed done and he took care of it all: the porting of the number, transferring all the contacts, etc. He even made sure that the phone was working properly before we left! I was really impressed especially because I had ported my number some time last year as well and it took 2 – 3 weeks, got billed twice, had to spend hours of angry phone calls with the store (Edwarsville store) I went to and with their costumer service reps before everything was resolved.
That was a painless experience and I am so happy with the experience overall. The associates were very friendly, one even offered us chairs to sit on and some water but we were fine and refused politely. The only excruciatingly painful part now is making sure my mom remembers everything I taught her about using her new smartphone.

We left much cheaper cell phone plans to come to T-​Mobile, mostly due to the customer service, which hasn’t failed us.
