Scam
In 2009, I walked into a T-Mobile booth run by Simply Wireless in MD and got a phone upgrade per the T-Mobile plan. The booth was run by Simply Wireless. I had been a T-Mobile customer for over ten years, and especially in the last five years experienced a severe degradation of services. In November of 2009, I switched to Verizon and cancelled my T-Mobile Service. I paid T-Mobile the required cancellation fees and settled my bill (so I thought). Now almost one year later, I have received a notice from a collection agency initiated by Simply Wireless for in connection with my T-Mobile service. I contacted T-Mobile and they have informed me that I don't owe anything, that my bill was settled in full, and that T-Mobile has never filed any action with a credit agency regarding my bill. I then called Simply Wireless and requested a copy of the contract. The person on the phone indicated they get penalized by T-Mobile if I alter my service plan on my phone service and they were assessing a penalty against me for dropping the cell phone internet feature. The most shocking part was to receive a hard copy of the so called contract and discover that someone had made a rather crude attempt to forge of my signature. The terms of the so called "separate agreement" that Simply Wireless claims that I signed appears to be a document fabricated after the fact to justify an add-on charge not authorized by T-Mobile. Another peculiar feature of this penalty is that nowhere in the document does it mention the basis for Simply Wireless charging the penalty that they are now assessing for dropping the cell internet feature.
I subsequently spoke to T-Mobile's Risk Management office and they made the rather cryptic statement that T-Mobile is not responsible for the actions of their distributors. If one were to go to the website of Simply Wireless, they advertise themselves as one of the oldest distributors of T-Mobile in the country. This appears to be an instance where an authorized distributor for a nation- wide cell phone company simply adds on bogus charges through a fabricated contract, and then attempts to collect on those charges by passing them on to a collection agency.

Don't buy from them
I purchased a sprint aircard from off base in September of 09 but the aircard didn't recieve any signal in the barracks or "rooms" of the post. I took it back within the 14 days but the sales preferred I tried out the new 4g aircard that had came out.
Needless to say that due to a program built into my laptop I couldn't use the device so it was immediately retunred to the store... I wanted nothing to do with the company after that! I recieved a full refund 2 months later but in April of 2010 outta nowhere $225 was taken out of my account from the company for not returning the merchandise WTF?!? When they realize I returned it after numerous calls to the company and threatning to sue, They suddenly "found" in the system where it was returned and yet it's May of 2010 and Im STILL waiting on my money and getting told the same thing! It'll take 3-5 business days... They mean 3-5 WEEKS.

Unfair sales practices
I purchased by Celluar coverage and phones from this company. They offered a great deal with rebates. When it came time to send in the rebates, i was told of various dates and deadlines and that the total amounts of saving are not in one rebate, the were multiple rebates. And to top it all off, some rebates were not covered because of the plans i purchased. All this is not clearly explained when you sign up, all this is learned from trial by experience.
This company is not to be trusted, I've even let AT&T know about the hard time i had in getting back my rebate offers, they were apologetic but they could only put their name on the list and write them a letter of my concerns.
I've put a complaint in the BBB but nothing is resolved.
It's been about 3-4 years, and i'm up for a new contract, i know for sure simplywireless will not be getting my business.
DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY NO MATTER HOW MUCH GREAT OF A DEAL!!! ALL GOOD DEALS ARE A TOTAL STEAL!!!.

Do not honor 14 day Gaurantee, Extremely rude Customer Service
On May 19th, 2008 my wife and I made the mistake of walking into the Greenbrier Mall, in Chesapeake, VA. looking for new phones and service. We stopped at several stores, but ended up stopping last at the Simply Wireless Kiosk. After their sales pitch, we thought we were getting a good deal. We felt confident in the fact that they offered the 14 Day buyers remorse period and decided to buy from them.
We bought 2 phones on what was supposed to be a family plan, one was a Blackberry and the other was a Motorola. We spent approximately $315.00 on the phones after rebates and agreed to 1000 minutes a month, my faves 10 and unlimited nights and weekends with a T-Mobile service plan for $96.46 a month.
After day 2 of having the phones, my wife and i decided to add Mobile to Mobile to the lines so we called T-Mobile to do so. When we did this, we found out that our actual monthly bill was somewhere around $135 a month, not the 96.46 a month that we were sold on. If we would have added the Mobile to Mobile, it would have been about $150 a month. T-Mobile refused to honor what Simply Wireless sold us so we decided to take Simply Wireless up on their 14 day Guarantee, since we still have 11 days left, right?
So, day 3, May 22nd 2008, we take the phones back, claiming the problem with the payment, they could not correct the payment issue, so we asked for cancelation and refund of the $315.00 that we paid. That money was refunded and the phones were supposed to be turned off and service canceled. Good to go right? WRONG!!
1 month later, we received a bill for service from T-mobile. We called them and explained the service had been canceled within the 14 days, they were supposed to have corrected the issue then. The following month, we receive another bill for service, we called again and explained the circumstances again, supposed to have been corrected. This time, it appears to have been corrected, because out of the blue, Simply Wireless charges my debit card for $350.00 for a cancelation fee that they put a hold on my debit card for when we originally bought the phones. This hold by the way, was supposed to have been removed when i brought in the phones for cancelation.
Well we find out that someone from Simply Wireless has kept our lines open, instead of canceling service. There were even calls made on the line to numbers i have never even seen before, days after we canceled. So, Simply Wireless did not cancel it when we brought them in. It appears to have actually been canceled the last time we spoke to T-Mobile.
So when we called Simply Wireless, they refused to refund the cash, siting a breach of contract on my behalf. When, in actuallity, they did not honor the 14 day gaurantee. I was well with in the time frame and have bank statements to prove it. I've had no phones from this company since May 22nd, 2008, when it was supposed to have been canceled.
From what i am reading from others on the net is, this appears to be a common practice for Simply Wireless. And this should not be allowed to continue. On top of that, when we did talk to Simply Wireless HQ's about this, they were so rude and uncompassionate, that they literally had my wife in tears, nearly having an anxiety attack. When my wife asked them, "How am I supposed to get diapers and formula for our new born if you refuse to refund this mistake on YOUR part", the representitive responded, "Not my problem maam".
So, I refuse to just lay down and take this. I'm a service member and we heavily rely on my paycheck to survive week to week. I started with my bank's fraud department, next was here, next will be the FTC, followed by the BBB and Small Claims.

They steal your money
In October 2007 I purchased a 2 year cell phone contract with T-Mobile from a Simply Wireless stand at Landmark Mall Alexandria. However, the voice mail set-up did not work. I tried to fix it with T-Mobile, but they referred me back to Simply Wireless. At Simply Wireless they could not fix it either and referred me back to T-Mobile. When I reported this to T-Mobile, I again did not get any help and I cancelled my contract with them in December 2007, for which T-Mobile charged me US$200, which they forgave in April 08 after much writing. I returned to the manager at Simply Wireless to return the phone in December but he did not want to take the phone back because it was past the 14-day "buyers remorse" period. Meanwhile, without warning, Simply Wireless sent me a letter on March 7 08 charging me US$400 for breaking their contract. Since their template letter also states that if I thought that I received their letter in error, I could write them within ten days, I did so on March 14-08. I never heard from Simply Wireless but they charged my credit card for the US$400 fine anyway: I refuse to accept this.
The Simply Wireless contract is legally completely biased to them and leaves no room for the customer if something is wrong with the phones. They even make you sign that they have the right to withdraw the US$400 fine from your credit card if you stop the contract. In my view, these types of contracts are illegal. Simply Wireless is a bad company for that reason and Pissed Consumer should let anyone know.
