Calling this number connected me with T-Mobile's line for businesses. I was greeted by a recording that asked me to select my language. I was notified that any personal information I provided would be collected and that I could find more information about how it would be used on the website.
The recording directed me to enter my T-Mobile phone number, starting with my area code so that it could better direct my call. If I didn't have one, I was directed to stay on the line. After that, I was presented with a menu listing many of the reasons one might be trying to contact T-Mobile. It was presented logically and included options such as making a payment, getting technical support or finding an answer to a billing question. The recording told me that if I was calling for another reason, I could state my business.
When I said that I wanted to become a T-Mobile customer, the voice recognition system seemed not to recognize my request. I was told to stay on the line to be connected with a representative. As I waited, I was notified that the call would be recorded for quality assurance reasons.
This call center is open around the clock. As such, there's no way to leave a message or request a callback. I wasn't notified of a way to contact a representative if my call was dropped.
I only had to wait a few seconds for my call to be answered. However, I did call in the evening. If you're calling during peak hours, it may take a little longer. When they answered, the representative seemed lively and warm. I asked several questions about T-Mobile's products, plans and service area. The agent I spoke to was able to answer all of my questions quite quickly; they seemed genuinely knowledgeable about the company's products, and their answers were direct and seemed unscripted.
Without any prompting, the representative let me know about a wide range of promotions, some that I could get over the phone and some that I could access online. They let me know about free devices, bundle deals and savings offered if I switched over to T-Mobile. They were very helpful in answering my questions but also pushed hard to make a sale. I did feel a little pressure to give them some information, including my email address so that they could send more promotional materials, although I ultimately declined.
Overall, the person I spoke with was very helpful and went above and beyond to ensure I was informed about T-Mobile's products, plans and promotions. I only had to spend about eight minutes on the phone to get all of my questions answered.
