I don't know what to make of this post. You DO realize that bilingual customer service representatives are at a premium in this country because lo and behold a lot of people spending money are Spanish speakers. 🙄

So what you are saying is because someone speaks spanish that they don't have good customer service?

No thats not the case..I was just asking because it was the longest I was ever put on hold and after 45 minutes of talking I still didn't get the issue resolved.It was my worst run in with customer service ever.I demanded to speak to his supervisor.I just wondered if tmobile was outsourcing there customer service.Alot of other companies do it.After that experience,it was the final nail in the coffin.I'm switching all my lines to verizon.Not saying that tmobile is a horrible company but after experiencing that,I'm done with spotty service and now poor customer service.

I recently had an infuriating run-in with customer service as well. I've been with Tmo for about 6 years now and have been very happy with it and have always been impressed with the customer service. Until sometime in last fall when things seemed to shift. This last incident was in January when T-zones suddenly stopped working on my Blackberry after 18 months. Took probably 4 hours over 2 days, 6 phone calls (including 2 that hung up on me), and many, many transfers before I finally got a definitive answer. I didn't like the answer, which was bad enough, but the ordeal of even getting that answer made me wonder what the hell is going on. I've recently heard similar stories from two other long-time T-mo users. So what's up?

I haven't worked for T-Mo in the past 2 years, so I can't explain your general customer service issues. I know that when I left, they were training all entire call centers to troubleshoot Blackberries and PDA devices since more basic consumers were purchasing them. I can only imagine it's been more of a problem since Android. It could be that they're having problems training quality reps.

As far as hearing Spanish in the background, the call center I worked at had bilingual reps working right next to English-only reps, all in good old US of A. The bilingual reps were occassionally queued into English customer service. There are Spanish speaking people in the US, and the bilingual reps are paid more since they can speak 2 languages. ...

False again... Keep spreading that incorrect information... You should probably "check" again.

Do you have a hard on for me now? Funny that you try to call me out and say that I am wrong in what I post but you have no idea what you are talking about. Are you typing these from an indirect kiosk? Or maybe a costco stand? I'm sorry, I shouldn't even say that because even those indirect sales reps know basic information like contracts and outsourcing.

Philippines and Canada are correct. But India is not correct. Sorry buddy. I'm a manager at a corporate store and Fleance is a CSR. We DO know what we're talking about.
