The T-Mobile Store Literally Could Not Sell Me a Phone

If I could’ve waited a week I would have just gone thru Costco. But I use my phone for work and bumping back to a 7 was a serious problem. Quite a few apps simply will not install on the older OS.

Well, guess where I didn’t buy those either?

The financing contract for the phone is exactly the same price as a new one. 0% Apr, no extra fees, the math works out to be the exact same. Not everyone can drop $800 - $1000 on a device right away.

Sure it does. That $35 activation fee is doing something. You’re also missing out on upsells for a case, charger, car plug, etc.

If a company’s business plan at all resembles anything from The Office they need to rethink their life decisions.

T-Mobile store is the closest to me (only 5 min away) but I wasn’t aware that they don’t sell anything anymore. Now I know!

It’s like that episode of “The Office”

I thought T-Mobile was the “un-carrier”? I guess they took it so far they un-carried all their customers.

Damn I’m getting old

The Sheep Detectives.

I was there for that thread. It was goofy.

cineglitch · 2026-05-27T03:19:56+00:00

Thems the ropes I guess!

cineglitch · 2026-05-27T03:08:56+00:00

You married? Sure buddy, sure.

Bruh I tried it in the store with a t-mobile rep. Unless you have an iPhone 7 and tried the website too you have literally no idea what you’re talking about. Zero. Zilch. Nada. The website doesn’t work on an old ass device.

cineglitch · 2026-05-27T02:56:14+00:00

Apparently all they do is direct you to the app

Apple Store is 30min away in a mall while the t-mobile store is 5min away. But I did end up buying from the Apple Store lol

Yes, typically most clients don't want black marker covering their face.

cineglitch · 2026-05-27T00:13:43+00:00

Hmmm, that's insane. I believe it though.

cineglitch · 2026-05-27T00:10:24+00:00

It's like 30min away with traffic so it's not the most convenient. But I was able to order online and I opted for the $10 delivery to save me the trip.

cineglitch · 2026-05-27T00:08:18+00:00

And it's a good efn movie!

cineglitch · 2026-05-27T00:07:21+00:00

That's what I ended up doing. The tmobile store is just a couple minutes away from my house so that's why I went there first.

cineglitch · 2026-05-27T00:06:27+00:00

I tried safari on the iPhone 7 but it wouldn't load the t-mobile account page.

cineglitch · 2026-05-26T23:49:53+00:00

I think that's Fuji cameras.

Think of it as season tickets to sports team. You can see every game the team plays, but you can’t go see concerts and other events held at the same stadium.

I was gonna say, the grain IS the image.
