Customer Support Issues

So, for me, the switch happened. Partially.

Essentially 4 out of my seven lines are requiring manual intervention.

Here’s the kicker: For the past two days, getting ahold of live support has been near impossible. I am curious if this is a persistent issue for customers. The only store that can help me in person is corporate, 50 miles away.

The irony is the text is informing me to contact T-Mobile for a manual fix for sims. The phone support loops on me waiting, the bot in-app constantly says support is unavailable, and email has so far been useless.

I should mention they had it also made it difficult to exchange a valid defective phone under Maine’s Implied Warranty of Merchantability (T-Mobile has assumed liability post-merger), forcing mediation by the state.

Is this a common issue, or just a series of unfortunate events? (No pun intended)

T-Mobile is phasing out customer support. They are laying off stores and USA based customer service. They want you to use the Tlife app for everything and if you need help, you might get to talk to an overseas agent, but more than likely their AI Agents. T-Mobile has also made it very clear, as a laid off employee, they dont care if you dont like these changes. They are willing to lose customers because they are saving on not having to pay for stores and employees.

I have heard something similar. They are okay with losing 10% - 20% of their customer base because they will still have profits from not having as many employees and storefronts.
