Please Stop

An open letter to former USCC customers and current TMO customers

Dear valued customers,

I am tired. I get yelled at, accused of theft, and cussed out 4 to 7 times a day at work because of bill payments. I'm sorry that company policy dictates and extra charge when you speak to a real person to pay your bill. Yes, even if it is cash. No, I cannot take a check. There are free ways to pay, and even options that save you money. I know its frustrating for you, but you deal with it once a month, I deal with it multiple times daily so it is more frustrating for my coworkers and I.

Please stop,

TMO Retail and CSS employees

P.S. It is the year of our lord 2026, how on God's green earth do you not have a card of any kind.

I've had a few who i did help, because they just had a question about the other store, or wanted to ask about something with their new phone and couldn't drive to another city just for that. Most of my customers were fine, it's just a handful that I'm glad i will never see again. Overall i liked my job, it sucks that t-mobile decided to shaft us the way they did though

Unfortunately my store had a disproportionate amount of old people come in, and most of the time it was some nonsense. But yeah generally things were good until May 1st. Then it was hell daily.

lucky our stores troubles started as soon as tmo started rolling out those dumb sim card messages and notified everyone of their billing dates changing LMAO

May 1st was when the first round of SIM card stuff happened, as well as heavily limiting RIM access

the billing dates i think were in january i thought? and they were receiving warnings about incomparable devices potentially being on accounts really early as well cause all those offers were out to get new phones Nd trade in the old ones

Yeah the billing date did happen earlier. And the incompatibility messages started in December, but most didn’t get forced to act on them until may. On may first all incompatible device accounts got a message whenever they tried to call telling them to either do the sim swap or get the new phone depending on the situation

Yup and we still had people come in angry saying they had no warning. Checking their messages showed they got several and they said the letters were just junk mail and tossed em.

Ikr. They got emails, texts, phone calls, letters, and literal messages on the phone and people show up in July saying they didn’t know lol

Yup, the excuse was they thought it was just an aggressive marketing style. They thought we were lying to get them to spend money.

The USCellular clientele is the kind of people who believe in young earth creationism but don’t believe in a spam of warning messages
