		<description>I canceled my account with them today because this is ludacris. When I called to cancel which I should have been able to do with no fees because of their  t&amp;c

&quot;5. Our Rights to Make Changes. Your Service is subject to our business policies, practices, and procedures, which we can change without notice. UNLESS EXPRESSLY PROHIBITED BY LAW, WE CAN CHANGE PRICES, CHARGES AND ANY TERMS IN THE AGREEMENT AT ANY TIME. IF WE MATERIALLY MODIFY THESE T&amp;Cs IN A WAY THAT IS MATERIALLY ADVERSE TO YOU, OR IF A CHANGE INCREASES YOUR SET MONTHLY RECURRING CHARGE(S) (the set amount – which does not include overage, features, optional services, taxes and fees – you agreed to pay each month for at least a one-year Term), WE WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH AT LEAST 30 DAYS NOTICE AND YOU MAY TERMINATE YOUR SERVICE WITHOUT AN EARLY TERMINATION FEE (WHICH IS YOUR ONLY REMEDY) BY NOTIFYING US WITHIN 30 DAYS AFTER YOU RECEIVE THE NOTICE. IF YOU FAIL TO TERMINATE WITHIN THOSE 30 DAYS, YOU ACCEPT THE CHANGES.&quot;

I was told I couldnt and if I couldnt afford the  1.50 a month perhaps I should drop my texting. I can afford it that is not the point! ugh. So we canceled contacted the FCC and will not be paying the cancellation fees.

Be sure you read their t&amp;c about the paperless billing. For one they can put you pack on a paper bill without notice at anytime and you will be charged that 1.50 and for 2 if their site goes down and you have to pay your bill your are still responsible for having it to them on time and if you dont you will get charged (even though its their fault).

Yeah that doesn&#039;t sound shady. Bye bye T Mobile. Hope that 1.50 was worth it.


Everyone should start a complaint with the FCC. This is ludacris!!

		<description>I had a chat with Customer service Supervisor tonight, to get an exemption or opt-out of this new charge and retain my paper bills.  She was adamantly against offering any help and went on and on about saving the environment and how there are many fees and taxes that we dont agree with but just have to pay anyway.  

I think if i can find another provider that has decent service with about the same cost, my last decade with T-mobile is over.  

But before that, I think we should all call their corporate office and tell them what we really think of this.

If i was to use paperless, id have to buy a printer, maintain the ink, pay the power, then take my time to manually bring up the pages and print them out.  Oh wait, I just checked, and none of the numbers that I called, or times, or durations are included.  They are hiding it all now for all past bills!  This means they could illegally take as many minutes away as they want without us ever being able to find out.  

This is horrible and unjust.  I will never write another positive review of Tmobile again.  In fact, unless they remove this ridiculous fee, ill cancel and always make sure to put the worst reviews for them.  Stealing from their customers is not how to do business, and i want them to fail to learn that lesson.  

Here are some numbers that might work to call and complain:  1-800-318-9270 and 425-378-4000 and the one that el barto posted in a couple posts above this one.  Lets not let them roll over us, but make them fix it, or take them down for it in any way we can (switching service, bad reviews, repeated complaints, refused payment of the 1.50, whatever works until they correct it.)</description>

		<description>When my contract is up, I&#039;m cancelling T-Mobile.

Now, instead of collecting $1.50 for a bill, they won&#039;t collect anything. I&#039;m sure that will make them feel better.

I mean this is a service.  It&#039;s not free.  Why wouldn&#039;t they send you a bill?  

They force you to do it when you may not have regular email service and you are forced to provide an email address.  Guess how many junk emails they&#039;ll be sending to you now.

I sent them a letter telling them.  They always thank me for being a long-term customer.  Well those days are numbered.</description>

		<description>I was told by Tmobile customer support that even though I can get my bill amount by calling them and can then send a check or pay at a local location, I will still be charged $1.50/mo until I specifically vancel paper billing.  Customer service refuses to cancel it for me.  I must use a computer, sign on the their web site, register, receive a password on my cellpnone, sign back on and provide my email address, receive an email from Tmobile within 24 hours, reply to that email, and them wait for an email confirming I have signed up for paperless billing.  That means one needs both a computer and an email account to avoid paying the fee.  And the notice that came with my last bill states that the feemay exceed their cost of providing a paper bill.</description>

		<description>This is just one more way for t-mo to steal my money. Plain and simple. It&#039;s not saving any trees. Plus, its nice to have a physical copy of my bill instead of trusting the EASILY HACKED t-mo servers. Not everything needs to be digitized/electronic. Oh and to all tree huggers: I kicked a tree after reading this =p</description>

		<description>It&#039;s worse when the bill you get is 1850 pages, and arrives in a cardboard box...  What was Google thinking?  Didn&#039;t T-Mobile sign them up for paperless billing just by default?  [see http://phandroid.com/2009/08/03/t-mobile-sends-googles-bill-to-regular-customer-1593983/]</description>

		<description>Paperless billing does exactly zero to save trees or the environment as using paper does NOT kill trees, it&#039;s an order for more trees to be planted.  There is more forest in the US today than there was 100 years ago.  It does however save T-mobile a lot of money including postage.  I am all for T-mobile saving money because savings are passed on to the consumer, but don&#039;t insult me by telling me it&#039;s &quot;saving the environment,&quot; when paperless billing clearly does not.</description>

		<description>This totally sucks for my parents. Because 1, they live in an area where they still can only get dial up and 2, when you have dial up your not going to be paying bills on line. That will take forever. This is pretty messed up. Also i liked getting something in the mail to remind me to pay my bill. T-Mobile better send out a free reminder text 15 days in advance now and give me a $1.50 discount off my bill.</description>

		<description>Sheesh.  T-Mobile&#039;s coverage sucks, they don&#039;t work with emergency services (they route me to another state), and now they want to charge me in order to reduce their costs?

Bailing out of my contract early is looking better and better.</description>

		<description>Trees are not an endangered species. We can and do make more of them.

This move is just bullshit. Guess I&#039;ll have to set my MyAccount app to remind me.</description>

		<description>I was already paperless because I never looked at my bill anyway.  And I can easily see my bill on the T-Mobile Android app.</description>
