Definitely avoid going into their stores. 90% of them are just there to take advantage of people.

So I did the metro deal for the 16e and my service was ending. I was looking for a promotion and saw a big poster at a local total Wirless store that said '16e on us'

I go inside to inquire about it. The lady tells me , yes, it's free when you sign a 24 month payment plan...

I don't recommend them
Once they get you customer service absolutely sucks. I went back to my old cell company. Customer service locked my account so we couldn't get my account number or a pin number to port my phone number when I switched. Customer service kept us on hold for 50 minutes pretending to have issues getting the port number issued. We hung up and called a different customer service person, that person kept doing a sales pitch until I finally told him I didn't need a sale pitch all I need is the port number. Finally got the number and switched.

Quote from a11424 :
My advice: do like I am doing - take them to arbitration. It's ridiculously easy - I just paid $20 for a month of ChatGPT and filled everything in an incredibly professional manner. The arbitrator asked me if I had any formal law training because it was one of the best filed cases he'd seen. I'm currently waiting for our time to present our stories but a Verizon lawyer has already offered me $500 to stop the arbitration case (I'm not going to). Sharing your story is awesome, but arbitration is how you make these jerks pay
I talked to the American Arbitration Association people.
They told me I need to pay $225 filing fee NON-refundable.
Once case is filed, business can register to be in the consumer clause registry. If they do not register, then there's no case. So I would be out $225.

Please do let us know how you do it. Would like to take them to arbitration for sure, and no, I am not going to back off unless they offer me something like 93million $.

Weird the that international roaming on the premium plans includes South America and Asia, but not much in Europe (no Italy, France, UK, etc)

This is dead - they introduced new phone plans today

You can still get a $25 plan (but it's no longer locked for 5 years)

The premium plans only have Disney+ for 6months-- and in good news, international roaming now includes 100+ countries- so that like now includes Europe

Terrible customer service. I have one of the CS agents turn off my service when I requested to speak with a manager, and they refused to connect me with one. I contacted the FCC and launched a complaint.
