T-Mobile is looking to improve the customer service it provides to its clients at the company's so-called Experience stores. These are company-owned locations staffed by "customer-obsessed" Mobile Experts with the ability to handle any issue that a customer might bring up. T-Mobile employees posting on Reddit say that in a few weeks, T-Mobile will announce a new format for the Experience stores that will allow customers to get bill credits, cancel lines, and more while at an Experience store.

According to one T-Mobile rep (via CordCuttersNews) who was briefed at a recent meeting, anything that the T-Mobile CARE team can do over the phone (800-937-8997) will soon be handled in person at a T-Mobile Experience store. The employees manning an Experience store will be able to fix an issue with a phone and handle all problems with a customer's plan that normally requires a call or text to customer service. The goal would be to provide the service necessary to keep customers from leaving T-Mobile for another carrier.

For those T-Mobile subscribers who don't have the patience to handle phone calls with the CARE team, can't wait on hold, or hate having to engage in a chat (via text) with a T-Mobile rep, a visit to the nearest Experience store might be the easiest way to get a problem solved whether it be with a T-Mobile device, T-Mobile service, a bill or invoice, or a perk that customers are supposed to receive.

T-Mobile Signature store

T-Mobile does not need a shot in the arm after adding an industry-leading 3.1 million net new postpaid phone customers during 2023, a number forecast to reach as high as 5.5 million this year. But giving such capabilities to its Experience stores will put it ahead of its rivals which offer online-only or phone-only customer service.

Besides its company-owned Experience stores, T-Mobile also has:

Neighborhood stores offering a mix of T-Mobile's most popular products and services in a retail location known for convenience and services. These are company owned and authorized retailer stores found in both large and small regions across the country.
Express stores branded as Metro by T-Mobile locations and owned by authorized retailers, these stores are where you can buy devices for prepaid subscribers and selected devices for postpaid plans.
Signature stores are where you'll find Un-carrier experiences such as new product launches and more.
