Dear T-Mobile,
I just purchased a $100 t-mobile refill card at a drugstore in Manhattan.
To process the refill, I:
- Entered the number on the my.t-mobile.com website: It said the refill # was invalid.
- Called to refill: It told me to call the number on the back of the purchased FastCard refill card.
I repeated all of the above steps twice to make sure I was not entering the incorrect refill number or phone number.
- Called number on the back of the purchased FastCard refill card: It asks me to enter my phone number, It tells me my phone number is invalid.
It seems from this post (http://support.t-mobile.com/thread/12828) that others are suffering from this lately as well.
Seems like a rather serious technical error.

Why is the above text tabbed out and in courier font? Because it's a post that I wrote and wanted to post on t-mobile's support forum.
Unfortunately, there seems to be yet another glaring technical bug in their support forum site, which prevents me from writing a new post. I wrote out the above and on clicking "Post", I get a "The connection was reset" error.
I won't waste bytes explaining that there are no humans you can talk to on their support phone lines.
Pretty disappointed with T-Mobile today. Clearly prepaid customers are not high on their customer service priority list.
Update: went back and tried removing all html formatting (done by _their_ widget, mind you) and finally the post went through.

Update: I tried again the next day and the refill worked.
ReplyDeleteI guess the system was just down for the day? You'd think they could design better error messages so users at least know what's going on.
