Complaint: [redacted]I am rejecting this response because: We did not use the data they say we did. I made two phone calls on my phone. That never had a number. The only thing we tried to do with both phones, was set up our families numbers.Sincerely,[redacted]

Complaint: [redacted]I am rejecting this response because:
When we were at the [redacted], we gave the label to the [redacted] personel. They told us that the barcode is not a good one, and it must be under the box that said postage will be paid for. When we made the call the customer service , we were at the [redacted] and we told the person on the phone about the issue. The [redacted] people confirmed that the label is valid. When the customer service person sent us two more times the same lable, the [redacted] person rejected them two more times.  Between consumer cellular, who tells us the label is good. And the [redacted], who would not accept the label. What were we supposed to do? 
Sincerely,

Dear Revdex.com, Thank you for contacting us regarding this complaint and allowing the opportunity to respond. Consumer Cellular is a no contract company. Contract companies have you sign a contract and typically require two years of service. Should you cancel before the end of contract you...

receive an early termination fee, which can be hundreds of dollars. With Consumer Cellular you are free to cancel any time and just pay for the service through the date of cancellation. There is no early termination fee. The unlocking of phone is a separate item from a contract. We have company policies as well as agreements with Apple that we will not unlock phones before a certain amount of time. We do not state that our phones are unlocked and do not sell them as such. The majority of phones sold directly from a cellular company are not unlocked and this is not unusual, especially with iPhones. Mr. [redacted] phones cannot be unlocked until 7/2/2016. Looking at Mr. [redacted] account it appears that one of his concerns is the reception in his area. His numbers are currently on the Tmobile signal. We could try to move him to the [redacted] signal to see is he receives better coverage. I just need confirmation if he wishes to do that and I will send free SIM cards to get him moved over.

June 17, 2016 Revdex.com [redacted] Dear Revdex.com, Thank you for contacting us regarding this complaint and allowing the opportunity to respond. I apologize if there was a misunderstanding in regards to how the credit for a SIM card works. The credits are to be...

applied towards invoices only. If no invoice generates, then there is nothing to credit. It is a bill credit and not eligible for a refund to the customer. Should the customer want a refund, they would need to return to the store where they purchased it from and see if that option is available. On the packaging for the SIM card it does state that there is a $10.00 invoice credit on the first bill. It does not state that it would be issued as a refund. Sincerely, TINA G[redacted] CORPORATE EXECUTIVE RESOLUTION SPECIALIST T 800.686.4460 F 503.675.8989 [email protected] www.ConsumerCellular.co...⇄

Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because: I understand CCs position, although, they have done nothing to rectify this. Unfortunately, they will not unlock my phone because apparently they claim it was stolen. I did not steal the unit and wouldn't never resort to such low measures. It is not CCs fault of where I purchased this from. That I completely understand. My issue arises from their unwillingness to unlock the phone anyway. I was even willing to pay to unlock it originally and Im not aware of any company that would refuse a potential customer and transaction for something as straight forward as a phone unlock. . At this point, they have complicated things so much when this couldn easily be resolved by a phone unlock. 
Sincerely,
[redacted]

Complaint: [redacted]I am rejecting this response because:I did not receive a bill or a final bill explaining charges.Sincerely,[redacted]

Dear Revdex.com, Thank you for contacting us regarding this complaint and allowing the opportunity to respond. When we received Ms. [redacted] phone back the liquid indicator had turned red, signaling liquid exposure and we denied the return. While we are not able to accept this phone back as a return, it...

did have SquareTrade protection and I can add that back onto the phone so that she can get a free replacement through them. The other option is that I can provide a partial credit as a courtesy. The customer received a charge of $43.75 and I would be happy to waive half that amount. That would be a $21.88 credit. Once I have heard back from the customer on which option they would like, I can get that done for them.

Revdex.com [redacted] Dear Revdex.com, Thank you for contacting us regarding this complaint and allowing the opportunity to respond. Ms. [redacted]’s account has not been sent to collections and the amount owed is $38.96. The amount previously owed was $70.34 but credits...

were applied plus a $15.00 payment to the invoices. We also waived late fees. This covers her service through the date of 7/27/2017. There was usage on the phone through that date. Ms. [redacted] did setup a payment arrangement to pay the remaining balance on 10/8/2017 by 10am PST. Sincerely, TINA G[redacted]

Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because:Yes the device did come as I stated. I have 2 witnesses that seen it. Also I changed carriers in June because they imported my CC number so it wasn't in use for the months CC said it was. I still want my phone unlocked and all charges dropped.

Thank you for contacting us regarding this complaint and allowing the opportunity to respond. I cannot personally vouch for these companies, I recommend that the customer research them fully; however, doing a simple search for online stock trading I also found TradeKing, Scotttrade and TD Ameritrade. The apps that the customer wants to use also have online account access so an app is not required to use their services. The customer may login online through the internet.Unfortunately Consumer Cellular does not have control over third party apps or the Android OS updates. If Android or the apps choose to put out these updates and choose not to be backwards compatible, there isn’t anything that we are able to do except to sell a phone that is compatible.Sincerely,TINA G[redacted]CORPORATE EXECUTIVE RESOLUTION SPECIALIST T 800.686.4460 F 503.675.8989 [email protected] www.ConsumerCellular.com

November 14, 2017Revdex.com Complaint ID [redacted] (Customer # [redacted])Dear Revdex.com,Thank you for contacting us regarding this complaint and allowing the opportunity to respond. [redacted] is correct that the replacement phone he received is a newer model phone as the original MotoG is no longer available. If a phone is replaced under warranty on day 365 from purchase, thereplacement phone comes with a 30 day guarantee. In [redacted] case, the phone was replaced onday 766 from the original purchase date. The same 30 day guarantee applies to this replacement phone.We are not able to accommodate his request for an additional six month warranty.If [redacted] would like to extend the warranty he does have the option to purchase a SquareTradeprotection plan for $3 per month with no deductible if a replacement claim is filed. SquareTrade coversaccidental damage as well as extending the original warranty for up to two replacements in a rolling 12month period. SquareTrade can only be added within 30 days of the order date, so it will not beavailable after 11/29/17.

Complaint: [redacted]to I am rejecting this response because:I was on the phone approximately 4 hours on 9/30 first call to Cellular got me no where, kept saying if I reversed the charge they would take off late charge which did not make sense to me because could not guarantee me to take off 50.00 charge. I had a 20.00 credit on that account way before billing date which they chose to ignore, they had no intention of using. So I got ahold of [redacted] and had them get on phone with me again got me no where [redacted] the rep for [redacted] explained they could not reverse the charges I also asked them to rebill me and I would send them a check for a 1.60 minus my credit. I have made countless calls to this company.  It was nice to know I wasn't the only one finding their customer service lacking. I was really hoping that day to get this resolved once and for all, did not happen Sincerely,[redacted]  [redacted]

Dear Revdex.com, Thank you for contacting us regarding this complaint and allowing the opportunity to respond. Ms. [redacted] purchased an iPhone 5c on 7/21/15 for $450 plus tax. The phone was financed using our interest free EasyPay program. This allows a customer to pay $50 down and monthly payments of $25...

until the full cost of the phone is paid off. A lending agreement was electronically signed for this device on 7/21/15. When the iPhone 5s was purchased on 5/16/16, $150 remained due on the iPhone 5c. To purchase the iPhone 5s, a down payment of $35 was made plus the agreement of five monthly payments of $25 each. The remaining balance for the iPhone 5c is still due. We have reviewed the call and confirmed the agent Ms. [redacted] spoke to advised her that she would have to pay off the remaining balance of the existing phone and make five payments of $25 to pay off the new phone. The customer electronically signed a lending agreement for this phone on 5/16/2016. Ms. [redacted] can access copies of both lending agreements by logging in to her Consumer Cellular account online, selecting “view details” below the “pay now” button, then select “view/print agreement” for each phone listed in the EasyPay section. We’re sorry if there was any misunderstanding, however the agent properly explained the cost and the customer signed the lending agreements for both phones explaining the amounts due and the payment schedules. A customer cannot finance a phone, then finance a second phone and only pay for the new phone while both are theirs to keep. The only option to clear a balance due for a financed phone is to return or exchange that phone within the return period, which is 45 days from the date of purchase. At this time, there is $75 still due on the iPhone 5c and $50 still due on the iPhone 5s. The applicable $25 installment charges will continue on the monthly invoices until both phones are paid off. Sincerely,
