I'm not getting my phone calls or my text messages until a week afterwards. I have called customer service numerous times and the issue still isn't fixed. I've missed out on job opportunities doctor's appointments and school conferences do to my phone not working properly. I pay the company money for a phone service that I'm not receiving and they refuse to do anything about it unless I pay more money. they want me to get my SIM card replaced I have to pay for it they want me to get a new phone I have to pay for it. I've been with this company for 5 years now

Other (Requires Explaination) They seem to think I need either a new phone or a new SIM card and I don't want to pay for it. I just purchased this phone in July and should not have to purchase another one.
This correspondence is in response to a complaint filed by ***. In this complaint, Ms. states that her device is not working properly and is getting text messages a week later. She was advised to update her sim card but did not agree to paying for it.
We attempted to contact Ms. to further investigate, but we were unsuccessful.
We emailed her that we agreed to provide a sim card at no cost to troubleshoot her device. We explained this could help with her coverage concerns and could potentially fix her issue.
We thank Ms. for her communication and trust that we properly addressed her complaint.

Other (Requires Explaination) somehow i would like for the manager of the store to contact me to see if there is a way to resolve the issue. or come up with a compromise that would be satisfactory for me. I feel that i am stuck with a product i do not even wish to have and am unable to exchange it or trade it out. the staff from the carrollwood office and the customer service rep at your corporate headquarter are also unwilling to come up with ANY resolution to make it right for me...
This correspondence is in response to a complaint filed by Mr. *** regarding Cricket Wireless. In this complaint, Mr. states that he went to a local Cricket Wireless Authorized Retailer to purchase a device. The device he purchased was a demo device and had a few scratches on it. He states he did agree with the scratches on the front of the device but not on the back of the device. He is now asking to have the device replaced or a refund of the cost.
We contacted Mr. to gain a better understanding of his complaint and he indicated that he'd gone back to the store to try to get the issue resolved to no avail. He stated that the agent told him that the device he purchased was a demo device which has a no return policy.
We forwarded his complaint to the Territory Sales Manager for that store location to request an investigation of the incident.
We advised Mr. that the Territory Manager will be reaching out to him regarding this issue. We explained that since the incident occurred at a store location, they will handle the complaint from this point forward. He was thankful for assistance with his complaint.
We thank Mr. for bringing this issue to our attention and for allowing us an opportunity to assist him.

My mother went into a cicket store at the mall to purchase 2 phones, and Iphone 7 and a 6. She was charged $966.96. My mom is and older person over 65 yrs old and does not speak English. Whe she left the store she told my sister how much it was and she said it was too much. My mother than reached for the receipt to tell mys sister the charges and she didn't have it. They didn't give her a receipt. She went back to the store and they denied the receipt. they wouldn't give it to her. My brother than went to the store and after talking to them for some time they gave them the receipt. He than disputed charges that were there and the store told them that they didn't know what the charges were. He kept disputing them and they responded that it was apple charges. He disputed them becuase apple doesn't charge those fees. My mother wated to return the phones and they told her that she could but they would only return $200 from the $966 she paid. They kept dispputing the charges and they ended up beign charges for accesories that she never purchase. They were charging her 2 times $100 and 2 times $25 dollars on top of store fees for the phone. She was only able to return 1 phone and they reimbursed the charges of one pone and the $200 dlls. They have a return policy of 7 days and didn't honor it. They are also over charging people things they never purchase and refusing to give a receipt to people so they wont see what they are being charged. This is straight out fraud against an older person. I called cricket corporate office and they are tellng me that they can't help us to go back to the store. I don't know what to do. She doens't want the phone and needs her money back.

Other (Requires Explaination) she needs to return the phone that they made her keep and her money back. I also need for the store to stop doing this things to older peolple that are victims of people like this. Cricket office shuould also take responsibility of things like this not tell people to go back to the store that is not helping.
This correspondence is in response to a complaint filed by ***. In the complaint, Ms. states that she was unable to return her devices within the return period in a Cricket Wireless location.
We spoke with Ms. on December 10, 2019. She confirmed that the device in question was not attempted to be returned due to miscommunication with another member of the account.
We thank Ms. for her communication and trust that this explanation properly addresses her concern.

Sat, Nov 2, 2019, @ exactly 4:06:37 pm (per receipt) I purchased a Cricket Turbo Hotspot for $99.99. I also purchased the 30 GB data only plan for $70 based on Mgr saying it would be enough for me to watch TV on the internet which turned out to be wrong.
Sat, Nov 9, 2019, at approx 10:30 pm, my internet went off. I called customer service at EXACTLY 10:54 pm (day 7) to ask what happened & was informed that I had reached the 30 GB limit.
I wanted to immediately close my account & was told that can't be done unless I stop autopay and default will automatically close my account the next month. I immediately requested she stop my autopay option. She said I would have to return the turbo unit within 7 days to get a refund and I was on the 7th day? at 10:30 pm with her on the phone.
HERE'S THE PROBLEM: There were no Cricket stores anywhere open at 11:30 pm on Saturday night where I could have returned the Turbo Hotspot.
On Sunday I was outside the store when the clerk unlocked the doors at exactly 11 am but she and then the manager were unable to give me a refund because the computer system stated I was now on day 8 and no longer eligible. The "manager" also claimed to have no way to override the computer.

Other (Requires Explaination) I just want the $99.99 plus tax refund I WOULD HAVE gotten if Cricket had a store open 24 hours so I could have returned it within the 7 day window.
This correspondence is in response to a complaint filed by *** M. ***. In this complaint, Ms., states that she had an issue with her mobile hotspot and attempted to return it, only to be told she was a day late in returning her device. She is asking for a full refund of the cost of the device.
We reviewed Ms. account and found that she purchased the device on Nov. 2nd and attempted to return it on Nov. 10th per the remarks on the account.
We contacted Ms. who states she would have returned it at 10:30 pm on the 9th if we had a store still open at that time. We explained that the first day that the device is purchased is day one, so she would have had until the end of business on the 8th to return the device.
On the 9th it was already beyond the 7 day time frame. We explained that unfortunately we cannot force the Authorized Retail location to refund the cost of the equipment.
We thanked her for allowing us the opportunity to assist her with her complaint.

(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
Cricket Wireless expects normal humans to have the psychic abilities to know ahead of time when their 30G of data will run out and be able to return the turbo within the 7 day time limit, however, as a normal human being, I do not possess such powers.
Cricket Wireless does not provide data usage warnings.
I expected,and trusted, the store manager to be well versed in the products she sells but this turned out NOT to be the case.
She said the turbo and 30G of data would exactly suit my needs for the full 30 days of service when I SPECIFICALLY explained that I do not have TV, cable or satellite service and watch TV on my laptop. I paid $99 for the turbo and $70 for a full month of data and it ran out in less than a week.
I was ROBBED of $170+ because the manager apparently doesn't know her products.
I was ROBBED of $170+ because Cricket Wireless does not provide data usage warnings.
I was ROBBED of $170+ because Cricket Wireless does NOT CARE about good customer service.
I was ROBBED of $170+ and I am an elderly person on a disability. Cricket Wireless doesn't care because they got $170 for ONE WEEK of service.

Complaint No: XXXXXXXX - rebuttal
Re: *** M. ***
Dear Sir/Madam,
This correspondence is in response to a rebuttal to a complaint filed by *** M. ***. In this rebuttal, Ms., states that she feels that Cricket Wireless should refund her the entire amount that she paid for the equipment and monthly service charge.
Cricket Wireless return policy states that she can return the equipment for a full refund within 7 days, as states in the original response Ms. attempted to return the device after 8 days. Cricket Wireless stands by its original response.
We cannot force the Authorized Retail location to refund the cost of the equipment, after the 7th day.
We thank Ms. for allowing us the opportunity to assist her with her complaint and based on the aforementioned, we are unable to assist further. We respectfully request that her complaint is closed at this time.

Every time they get their money, they start slowing down the bandwidth until it gets to the point that you can't play any of the apps or anything at all because every time you try to log on you get a message that this app or that app has stopped working or now it states that there is no connection, this has gotten so obnoxious and frustrating. I have sent them messages every time I get a message to report this but nothing ever gets done, all I ever see is "Thank you for your feedback"

I do not have or ever had service with this company but my bank card was charged in three separate transaction $603.74, 603.74 and $1257.61. I tried to call and get some information on how these transaction was done and track down any information concerning the individual(s) who made these charges. This company couldn't provide any information, I was told there isn't any department that handles charge cards payments, there isn't any department that looks into fraud, there isn't anyway or department the handles complaints like the one I brought to them. It only customer service no corporate office or anything. I provide them with my name to search the system because it was my card that was used and so I would think something associated with me would come up. Nothing came up and the agent had a I don't really care attitude. I asked again, "Is there any other number I can called that can further assist me with this matter or email address I could send my complaint for additional help'" The response was "NO" they are the only department. This is crazy and I feel that this company could and should do better as this will not be the last time something like this happen to someone and with this type of attitude I don't know how anyone want to used their service. I will be looking into filing a class action suit as well because I know it has to be more people out here like me. I have filed a fraud complaint and a police report.

Other (Requires Explaination) They should let me know what is their plan of action to resolve this matter.
This correspondence is in reference to a complaint filed by *** regarding Cricket service. In her complaint, Ms. states an online order was made with her bank card. Ms. states that she wants her issue resolved.
We contacted Ms. via telephone on December 2nd, 2019. There is a high propensity for fraud during this time of year, and we take measures to protect customer's information. The individual who completed the online order had enough information to authenticate Ms. card information. We advise Mr. Logston to file a police report regarding the suspected identity theft.
We connected with our internal department to confirm that chargebacks were received for two separate payments of $603.74, and the money has been returned to the card. We highly suggest that she contact her credit card company so that a new card can be issued.
We thank Ms. for her communication and trust that this explanation properly addresses her concern.

I bought an apple iphone from www.cricketwireless.com on march 19th 2019. After 3 months in June of 2019 of normal usage, the device stopped charging, I contacted cricket wireless for replacement under warranty. They asked my to go to the nearest apple store and get it replaced under warranty, which I did. Apple provided me with a new phone which was locked to cricket.
Cricket unlock policy is to unlock the device after 6 months of continuous service
https://www.cricketwireless.com/legal-info/device-unlock-policy.html
I have been contacting them to unlock my phone since October but they said I got a new device which I have to use for 6 months for the date to replacement, i.e., June to December. I kept telling them that the new phone was a replacement since the original was defective. They still wont listen and wont unlock the phone even if I offer to pay the complete price of the phone!!!!!
Not only did cricket-wireless sell me a defective product, ask me to do all the leg work to get a replacement from apple directly (it took about 5 business days for apple to replace my device) they wont unlock my phone!

Other (Requires Explaination) I want my phone to be unlocked and reimbursed for forcing me have continuous service since October.
This correspondence is in response to a complaint filed by Mr. *** In his complaint, Mr.states that Cricket Wireless will not unlock his device. He states he's met the qualifications to be able to have his device unlocked but continues to be denied.
Mr.s account was thoroughly researched in response to his concerns. We were able to determine that he does meet the length of time qualification. He originally had a device that was replaced via warranty which changed his date of activation.
We attempted to reach Mr.to provide our findings, but we were unsuccessful in speaking to him. We wanted to advise him that we unlocked his device.
We also left our contact information Chiquitta with Cricket Wireless Corporate Office, should Mr.want to further discuss our decision.
We thanked Mr.for allowing us the opportunity to assist him with is complaint and trust that we have properly addressed his concerns.

FCC's CTIA cell phone unlocking commitment: "3. Prepaid Unlocking Policy. Carriers, upon request, will unlock prepaid mobile wireless devices no later than one year after initial activation, consistent with reasonable time, payment or usage requirements."
Cricket's policy requires 6 months of paid service. They will NEVER unlock a purchased phone with less than that, regardless of the initial activation date. Their policy is inconsistent with the CTIA agreement. The "reasonable time, payment or usage requirement" phrase should not be used as a loophole to ignore the 1 year time-frame.
I purchased a phone, activated it and fulfilled any purchase agreement. I waited 1 year before requesting the phone be unlocked.

Account_Number: XXX-XXX-XXXX
Other (Requires Explaination) I am only asking that the phone I bought and paid for be unlocked. I feel my request is in line with the FCC's CTIA agreement and that Cricket's refusal to unlock my phone, is not.
This correspondence is in reference to a complaint filed by ***. In the complaint, Mr. states that he requests his device be unlocked.
Eligibility requirements for current Cricket customers are:
A phone/device designed for use on and locked to the Cricket network
Cricket service for at least 6 months*
An active phone number that has not been reported lost or stolen or suspended for fraud
Mr. can find this information by visiting, https://www.cricketwireless.com/support/account-management/device-unlock.html
Notwithstanding, the current Unlock Policy an exception was made, and Mr. device was unlocked. We provided the unlock code via email.

I signed up at the beginning of September with cricket unlimited talk and data plus hotspot. the plan total is $60. I checked on the website and it says that the lg stylo 4 is capable of a mobile hotspot, so I brought a phone I already owned to cricket services. my hotspot wouldn't work so I contacted customer service and they said that my phone is not eligible for a hotspot, and I need to buy a new phone through them in order for it to work. I was never told when I signed up that my phone would not be eligible for hotspot because I didn't purchase it from cricket. This is a bait and switch, or at the very least shady business practices. they offered me a $15 credit towards my next bill, which does me no good because I need a service that I can use a hotspot with, and will have to switch to a different provider. I can't be the only person this deceptive advertising has effected.
Product_Or_Service: LG /stylo 4/unlimited
Account_Number: XXX-XXX-XXXX
Other (Requires Explaination) I want the $15 they offered me credited to my bank account, not as a credit on a future bill, and i would also like there to be a written statement on the page that lists hotspot compatible phones, that says that phones brought in from other carriers, or not purchased through cricket are not eligible, so that this doesn't happen to anyone else.
This correspondence is in response to a complaint filed by ***. In the complaint, Ms. states that she was unable to use mobile hotspot on a device she purchased outside of Cricket Wireless. She also states we offered her a courtesy credit that she declined; however, she is now requesting that credit.
We attempted to call Ms. but were unsuccessful. Without speaking with Ms., we are unable to offer a solution however, we can provide details regarding our mobile hotspot feature. Cricket offers Mobile Hotspot service for specific devices and rate plans. The LG Stylo 4 is eligible for mobile hotspot with and eligible rate plan or added feature. The feature must be active on the customers account in order for the service to be used. Additionally, customers can reference our terms and conditions for specific requirements for mobile hotspot as well as our refund policy. According to Cricket Wireless Terms and Conditions of service, available online at www.cricketwireless.com/terms: Amounts paid for service charges are non-refundable and account balances are not transferable, refundable, or redeemable for cash.

I stopped at cricket store in Coronado Mall 6600 Menaul NE 87110. My phone was not charging the salesman Armando said it was the charger. I bought a charger. In the morning my phone had no charge. I called the number on receipt. Not cricket at cornado Mall.This store is at 6209 Menaul NE 87110. The saleslady checked and said it was the phone not the charger. My phone is under warranty, I will get a new phone.I go back to cricket at Coronado Mall. I am bringing this charger back. It is not the charger it is the phone. Too bad he says we do not do refunds. You sold me something I did not need. Oh well no refund. I asked for manager.He supposedly calls the manager and said the manager said NO. He would not let me speak to manager.We cannot give you that information. Call Manager and I will speak with manager. You do not have to give me information. NO he said I will not and he and the other salesman were rude. Initially the other salesma asked Armando If he wanted to give me refund.Armando could have given me the refund. He said you signed the receipt. Yes but it was for a charger I do not need. I am very upset. Can you please look into this for me. Thank you. ***.

Other (Requires Explaination) I would like my money back. One salesperson said it is the phone. And Armando is adamant it is not. This is a total rip off. Annd to not allow me to speak to the manager and I believe is against my rights as a consumer.
This correspondence is in reference to a complaint filed by *** regarding Cricket service. In her complaint, she reports that she purchased a device and charging accessory from a Cricket Authorized retailer. She states that after troubleshooting she came to the conclusion that it was the charger. Ms. requests to return the charger.
Devices purchased from a Cricket Store may only be returned or exchanged at the same store where purchased.
We communicated to Ms. via email that Please note that all accessory sales are final. This information was included on Ms. store receipt. For more information please visit: https://www.cricketwireless.com/support/orders-and-activations/returns-and-exchanges/customer/returns-and-exchanges.html.
Ms. account has been canceled with Cricket effective November 11, 2019. However, as an exception, to assist Ms. the store experience was escalated to the Market Director, and Ms. can expect further communication from store management.
Again, accessories purchased at Cricket Authorized Retailers are subject to that Authorized Retailer's return policy, however Ms. should expect a communication from the Authorized Retailer's management.

Starting October 26th 2019 the text, voice call and internet has either not been functioning properly or not functioning at all. The service up until this point has been fantastic. I have made five telephone calls to cricket each time going through troubleshooting steps. Each telephone call made, a cricket employee has advised me that the cell tower or towers near me are degraded and undergoing repairs or maintenance and I am given a date when the repairs are to be completed. The date has always been within a few days of my call however after said date the problems continue.

It has been 9 days since Cricket allowed my phone number of over 20 years to be ported away from my account without my knowledge, permission nor did the thief provide them my security pin. They just let it go when another service asked for it. I have to provide my pin just to talk to someone about it. I called immediately upon realizing my phone no longer worked. They didn't and still don't know what happened or what to tell me other than wait. Every day after that they said I would have it back by the following day. Every time I call I have to explain what happened all over again. I tried to go into their brick and mortar location and they were even less helpful. One customer service rep told me that the problem was that they didn't know the provider, account # or the pin on the NEW service and that was why I couldn't get my number back. So I took it upon myself to call over 15 reseller service providers until I found the one who had my number. After talking with their customer service and explaining the situation I got the information Cricket supposedly lacked that would get my number returned to me. At that time Cricket charged me over $80 ($80 for the prepaid service and $9.99 for a new sim) to 'reinstate my line'. They told me I would have it back by 3pm, then 5pm of day 7, then by day 8 by noon. On day 8 I was told again that I would have to wait until tomorrow (day 9). As of day 9 I still do not have service to my number. This whole situation has caused me other issues as well. Other accounts have been opened with my name and stolen phone number. Cricket has been no help in any way. It is extremely frustrating.

(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
I did receive an email on Friday and did respond promptly. I have had my phone number back and voicemail set up and has been since I left them. I never received a call or voicemail. At the time of the original complaint it had been 9 days without a working phone number. On the 11th day I stayed on the phone with Customer service all day until they used the information I learned about the carrier that had my number and got my phone working. 2 days later it was stolen again. I was then charged AGAIN to get my number back, this time in the same day as I refused to get off the phone with Cricket until they got it back. I had to purchase yet ANOTHER sim card to do so. Cricket was no help at all with my situation. I am completely unhappy. I should not have been charged multiple for this. Cricket should have done more to help me with the initial situation as well as helped secure my account to insure it would not happen again. I was lied to repeatedly by customer service. The second time my number was stolen I was told by customer service that it wasn't stolen and that it was in fact safe. That there was some other problem with my account that turned my phone off. I was told over and over again there was nothing they could do in regards to charging me over and over again and that if I wanted my phone turned back on I would have to pay for another month. Nothing ever came of their so called investigation. They never helped me with anything other than taking my money. I want my money back.
This correspondence is in response to a rebuttal to a complaint filed by ***. In the rebuttal, Ms., states that she feels that Cricket Wireless should refund her for the additional charges that she incurred due to fraudulent activity that occurred on her account.
We contacted Ms. to gain a better understanding of her complaint. We reviewed her account and found that she was charged twice for having her account reactivated and for new SIM cards. We agreed to issue a refund to her credit card for the additional charges. We advised Ms. to allow 7 - 10 business days for the refund.
We thank Ms. for allowing us the opportunity to assist her with her complaint.

We were happily paying Cricket Wireless $100.00/month for 5 lines GroupSave plan($20.00/line) since 2014, until yesterday(11/9/2019) when one of the people in the GroupSave plan ported over to T-Mobile because Cricket had a drop in service for him for over 2 days. We called Cricket today(11/10/2019) because we realized that we would be paying $110.00 for one less line($25.00/line). Representative-A gave us the option to save us $10.00 per month($25.00/line) by changing us to a plan that has a downgraded speed of 3Mbps from the original 8Mbps. We agreed to the change and he switched us over to the new plan. After we got off the phone with Cricket, we logged into our account and noticed that our plan was charged a fee of $48.00. We called Cricket immediately to ask what the charge is for. Representative-B told us that it is an administrative charge for changing the plan. We told Representative-B that we were not made aware of this charge and we asked to speak to a Supervisor. The Supervisor did some investigation, and explained to us that the charge is actually for a retroactive "upgrade fee for the difference between the two plans" which costs $12.00 per line. He explained that Representative-A did an "upgrade" for us from a plan that was $40.00/month to $55.00/month. We told the Supervisor that the Representative-A did not make us aware of such a charge before he initiated the change. The Supervisor apologized to us again and again that we were not made aware of such a change and that he cannot do anything about other than issue a $15.00 credit. We were forcefully charge a fee of $48.00, not $15.00. We wanted to escalate further but he said this is as far as we will get over the phone because Cricket has no more US call centers.
Product_Or_Service: Samsung /S9/Unlimited Core Plan
Account_Number: XXX-XXX-XXXX
Other (Requires Explaination) We were forcefully charge $48.00, but the Supervisor can only credit us $15.00, which is not acceptable.
This correspondence is in response to a complaint filed by ***. In the complaint, Mr. states that one of the five lines on his account ported to another carrier and, as a result, he lost his Group Save discount. Mr. then changed his rate plans to new plans, but was charged for the difference in plan pricing.
We researched ***'s account and found that there were rate plan changes made on the account causing prorated charges to be applied. The difference in those charges were credited back to the customer on November 10, 2019.
Mr. is currently not a Cricket Wireless customer, he ported out to another carrier on November 22, 2019. We spoke with Mr. on December 4, 2019. He acknowledged that he did get the credit requested in the complaint; however, he requested to get his account balance for those credits sent to him. We are working with Mr. to send him his balance via check and will stay in communication with him.
We thank *** for his communication with us and trust that this explanation properly addresses his concern.

Thank you so much Revdex.com and Cricket Wireless for resolving this complaint.
I called on Oct 7 to have my sons' phone service suspended/canceled. I was told to call my bank and have the $50 payment that was just processed reversed. I then called to have it reinstated on the 27th ony to find out they want to charge me for the $50 of service I didn't use for the month of October. They said it is to "hold" the number. I was then told I could have canceled in lieu of suspending and avoided this charge and just paid a fee of $25 to reactivate. No one explained any of this when I called not am I willing t pay full price for a month of service I didn't even have. Thay are also trying to prorate a fee for Oct 27-now fr service that also didn't work. I couldn't even make calls to or from the phone during this time period.

Dear Sir/Madam,
This correspondence is in response to a complaint filed by Ms. ***. In this complaint, Ms. states she has been having coverage issues. She would like to be placed on a different service plan and keep her same rate.
We contacted Ms. and offered to troubleshoot her device and open a ticket to further investigate.

I do not agree to their rebuttal. I was told both times that it was something with their satellite. That it was resetting or something like that. I believe that recently they change the carrier to AT&T. It means this issue is going to keep on happening. I'm requesting a letter. Where it states the findings on both tickets opened. Regarding your policy why I wasn't informed that when I first started services. I would like copy of that too.
The resolution I want is a new cell phone from your carrier at no cost. A faster plan at the same rate I'm paying now. A agent told me that this could be possible as long I had tickets open. I believe it was one your managers.
I spend almost $1,300 on a new phone. I was told that the issue was my old phone. They're restating the same thing. Even though it's a new phone. One of the agents told me that the it could be that phone is not directly from your carrier. Also that they could provide one from cricket.
I want a solution.

I purchased a LG phone online from Cricket.com for $144.05 but when I received the phone it did not work so I was instructed by Cricket Warranty Dept to return the product using UPS and I did. Please let me say that not only did I have to wait for a refund but all of my money was not returned. I am owed $57.46 but cricket is refusing to return my money stating I was charged an upgrade fee but again the phone did not work so my phone was not upgraded and also I purchased some accessories with the phone which was also returned with the phone and this was not refunded. I believe this is an online scam to get customers to make an online purchase so cricket can make a profit.

I only received $29.99 credit on my monthly payment so I am assuming this is part of the refund, however I have not received the remaining $27.47.
