This correspondence is in reference to a complaint filed by ***. In this complaint, Mr. states when his data limit has been reached and callers are receiving messages stating that his data limit has been reached. Mr. states MMS does not come through on his device when his data limit is exhausted.
We contacted Mr. on 2/13/2018. We explained that when data limit has been exhausted, depending on your location, receiving and sending data can be limited or stopped completely. The customer would need to add additional data to their account or wait until their data resets on the next billing cycle. We will follow up to with our IT team to see what system generated message is being released to non-customers regarding data limits of our existing customers. We have provided a courtesy credit to Mr. account for the inconvenience. Should Mr. have any concerns in the future, please contact *** at 404.469.0901.

I called Cricket Wireless to set up "bridge pay" on 1/29/18. I was told I had to pay $20 on that day, and would have to pay the remaining amount ($40) at a later date. I asked repeatedly during this phone call if I would be charged the full $60 at ANY TIME and I was repeatedly told that I would NOT be charged the full $60 at any point. When I went to make the final $40 payment on 2/8/18, I was told I was a day late and would have to pay the full $60 for a new month of service. Even after three complaint calls and Cricket confirming that I had received the wrong information, I was not given any refund. I reluctantly paid for new month of service since due to my work, I need a functioning cell phone at all times. Less than 24 hours after I made that payment to Cricket, I cancelled my service (on 2/9/18) and asked to be refunded for the month of service I paid for, yet will not be using due to having cancelled my service. I was told Cricket is unable to refund any money to any customer. I spoke on the phone with a manager named Antony on 2/9/18 (his ID number is 8r608x) and he didn't listen to me, he was completely unwilling to help me, and refused to even talk about a refund.

Re: ***
Dear Sir/Madam,
This correspondence is in reference to a complaint filed by Ms.. In this complaint, Mr. stated that she missed the BridgePay due date, which required her to pay the full amount of the service payment. Ms. ported her number out of Cricket after she made the payment, and requested a refund for the unused service payment.
We spoke with Ms. via telephone on February 15, 2018 to discuss her complaint. We explained to Ms. that per Cricket's Terms and Conditions, all service payments are non-refundable and non-transferrable. We have validated that Ms. ported her number out the same day she made her service payment. As a good-faith effort to address Ms. concerns, Cricket Wireless issued her a refund for the unused service payment.
We thank Ms. for her communication and trust that this explanation properly addresses her concern.

Dear Sir/Madam,
This correspondence is in reference to a complaint filed by ***.
In this complaint, Mr. states that he made a payment on the wrong number. Mr. states that he wants a refund for this payment.
Mr. account was thoroughly researched. It was found that a case was created on 2-8-2018. The case determined that the money could not be provided because it would suspend the account, and there was no credit balance on the account to refund. We do appreciate Mr. as a long term customer, therefore a one-time courtesy credit of $ 15 to his account.
We value feedback and apologize for any inconvenience or poor service he felt he received.

1/21/18 Cricket text saying they got my automatic payment. 1/25/18 Cricket text saying *** Plan discontinued, service may suspend 3/1, make plan change by 2/28. 2/6 Cricket text 'heads up, changes were made' at 9:16am and again 9:17am (I didn't do anything to make changes). Phone stopped working 2/7. Called and put on hold 20min on 2/7 in the AM to talk to supervisor. I was at work so I had to hang up. Called again in afternoon. Lady said 'IDK why it was shut off, do you still work for *** and proceeded to multiple times imply that I don't. I've worked there for 10yrs this yr. Put on hold while she 'calls the store' and talked to a '***', who never worked at my store. More saying 'IF you really work there, use the program on the computer and log in.' We haven't had the Cricket KPOS in our system since summer, why would she tell me to do that? First tells me that to reactivate my phone I MUST pay $48 and a new plan will start with a new due date. I told her she called the wrong number so I gave her the right one and she did a conference call w/ my manager and asked if I in fact work there. He verified and told her that the Cricket plan was done. After arguing that I shouldn't have to pay when I already did on 1/21 she said since the Emp. discount plan was finished, I'd have to start a new plan at $60 to start. So now I'm told 2 different amounts I HAVE to pay to get my phone reactivated.

Other (requires explanation) Either turn my phone back on until 2/28 or put some money back in my bank account because I did not get a full month of what I payed, I only got half a cycle. It's not my fault they discontinued it in the middle of the cycle. I pick the 28th instead of the 21st because the text said change plan by that date and also I think I deserve an extra few days of phone time for the way it was handled and how I was insulted AND the fact she told me 2 different amounts.

They turned my phone back on but whoever called and talked to my husband was very short and said she couldn't give much detail. So I have no clue when my phone will be shut off again. I'm not calling to ask because I'm going to Metro pcs in a few days to join their 4 line family plan.

Re: ***
Dear Sir/Madam,
This correspondence is in reference to a complaint filed by Mr. ***. In this complaint, Mr. states his cell phone is blocked by Cricket Wireless. He states he purchased the device and now since he has left the company Cricket Wireless will not release his device for him to use with another provider.
We value Mr. feedback and apologize for any inconvenience or poor service he felt he received. Cricket strives to provide excellent service and we regret when that high standard is not met.
We reviewed Mr. account to determine why he wasn't able to unlock his device. We found that there were no attempts listed on his account regarding the porting of his number over to any other provider nor any device unlock requests made. We reached out to Mr. but was unsuccessful in speaking with him, however his wife stated she was aware of the complaint and wanted to know why we wouldn't allow him to use the phone with another provider. We advised her that he may have given them the wrong phone number associated with his account and explained that this may have been the reason why they were not successful in unlocking his device. She stated she would share that information with her husband. The device has met all requirements and was successfully unlocked.
We thank Mr. and Mrs. for their communication and trust that this explanation properly addresses their concern.

I walked into a cricket wireless store for the very first time to make a monthly payment. I never walked into this store before because I always made payments online. I see a lady and a girl sitting at the desk looking up my account to make a payment. Im later told there was all sorts of fees so I actually decided to not make the payment but was trying to retain my phone number because I've had it so long. I can't remember all the fees but 1 was a late fee.. an in store fee.. the list went on and they could both care less and basically sending suttle signals like they wanted me to leave. I told the one behind the desk she's rude and preceded to leave. As I walk away the other lady jumps in my face like she's just steaming and tells me Im not allowed to talk to her daughter that way. I was just shocked and not sure what to think next and turns out she is a manager named Joanna. This lady is well built and probably tripple my size so all I could do was do my best to push her off me as she continued to physically abuse me. After all the fireworks, Im finally able to call for help because none of the others were about to help.. The cops asked for any camera footage and of course she refused to show it to them. She bent one of my fingers causing whats called a mallet finger.. and later wasnt even arrested because of my desperation to get her off me she had a few scratches on her. Im not sure whats wrong with this lady? Maybe she does drugs? I dont know but I reached out to crickets corporate office later and only response I ever got from them was that their investigating and on twitter they simply block me cause I told about my situation. This lady *** on west K st in lancaster ca shouldnt be dealing with the public and later I even spoke with the owner and best he could do was ask that I dont go in there again and how many stores he currently owns.. Im not sure how that info helps but cricket wireless is the worse company I've ever had to deal with and I even feel traumatized. Skip this place.

Re: ***
Dear Sir/Madam,
This correspondence is in reference to a complaint filed by *** regarding Cricket service. In her complaint, she reports that she walked into a Cricket Authorized Retailer located in Lancaster, CA about 4 months ago. She wanted to make her bill payment so she could retain her cell phone number. She feels the sales advocates at the store did not want to help her. One of the sales advocates advised her that there would be a store fee as well as a late fee that she needed to pay as well. Ms. told the agent behind the counter that she felt she was being rude. As she was leaving the store, the other sales advocate jump in front of her and things got physical. She mentioned that she reached out to Cricket's corporate office through Twitter, but was only told that there would be an investigation. Ms. feels that the sales advocate, *** should not be dealing with the public, and the Authorize Retailer should be discontinued. She states that this is customer abuse and would like to report it.
Cricket immediately reviewed Ms. interaction with our Social Media team and found that our Social Media team contacted the store's District Manager as well as the Territory Sales Manager, to further investigate and provide further coaching at the store level so this does not happen again.
We contacted Ms. and advised on the aforementioned. She stated that she just wanted to make us aware of her experience.
We thank Ms. for her communication and trust that this explanation properly addresses her concern.

Dear Sir/Madam,
This correspondence is in reference to a complaint filed by Chris ***. In the complaint, Mr. was impacted by our migration away from the 2G network. He expressed his dissatisfaction with Cricket and stated that Cricket should have continued to provide service to all of those that use flip phones and outdated devices such as the Blackberry Torch.
Cricket Wireless Corporate Manager, ***, reached out on February 13, 2018 and February 15, 2018 to our long time customer, Mr., in order to assist him with the complaint.
Cricket is always working to give our customers the best experience. To maximize our capacity we moved away from the 2G network altogether. Many customers with 2G devices were compensated with 3G or 4G technology enabled devices in order to continue getting service from Cricket. Mr. had at the time a 3G device and did not originally purchase the device from Cricket Wireless. He would not have been provided such an exception.
Mr., if chooses to continue with Cricket Wireless service, he has the option to purchase a different device to utilize with his Cricket Wireless account. The phone may no longer be operable since we show it may have first been purchased and used in 2009.
If Mr. requires additional assistance or has any additional questions, he may contact ***. We thank Mr. for his communication and trust that this explanation properly addresses his complaint.

they don't understand anything im saying. very said
Company's misleading 7-Day guarantee. Signed up for service which included free phones if purchasing a monthly plan as well as pay a $25 per line activation fee. Total output $200. The second day dissatisfied with phone quality and reliability so attempted to change them out with another model that is all so free in their line-up. Only now they want to charge full price for any new phone in their lineup. Went to close the account but they said no refund for the four lines and no rebate for the activation fee. So 0, 0, 0.. So where is the 7-day satisfaction guarnetee? Spent three hours online chat where told I only need return to the store for exchange or cancelation but then when back in the store another line of *** so left in hand a service I do not want. Four phones that are not worth the plastic they are made from and $200 out of my account. From here will file a lawsuit as well. Seems we live in a society where companies realize people do not know and will not stand for their consumer rights. This is a total play on the American people...

Mr. activated a new line of service and purchased a device on February 1, 2018 from an Authorized Retailer. He wanted to exchange the device for a different model within the 7-day return/exchange period.

Ordered two Cricket refill cards one month ago, but have not received the card as of today.
I ordered two $25 Cricket refill cards from Cricket Reward on Jan-1-2018. The order numbers are ***( for email ***) and ***(for email ***). I have not received the cards for over a month. Generally the cards should be delivered to email in 3 business days. I created online support tickets, but never received any response. I chatted with Cricket online customer service and also called the customer service, however they could not help me on that, they told me the only thing that I can do is to create online ticket. I asked for a phone number that I can reach to Cricket Reward department directly, but they told me they do not have a phone number.
I know Cricket will close its Reward department at the end of Feb, 2018. But this is not an execute that they did not deliver my gift cards. Really disappointed to its customer service.
Deliver two $25 Cricket refill card asap.
received all cards today. Thanks.

This correspondence is in reference to second rebuttal filed by ***. In this rebuttal, mentions that no one has made an attempt to contact him and now further explains additional information that he is having problems with his phone not displaying notifications.
As stated in the initial response, there were more than several attempts made to contact Mr. via phone and email. On X-XX-XX and 2-13-18, an email was sent to ***@yahoo.com with no response. An additional email was sent X-XX-XX as well. We also attempted to reach out to Mr. via telephone on X-XX-XX and 2-13-18. Mr. voice mail is not setup.

Re: ***
Dear Sir/Madam,
This correspondence is in reference to a complaint filed by *** regarding Cricket service. In his complaint, he reports that his phone was compromised and then it was stolen. He went to a Cricket Authorized Retailer and attempted to submit an insurance claim, but the sales advocate would not honor his insurance. The sales advocate advised they could turn off his phone, so no one would use it. Mr. states he already purchased a cell phone with another carrier. He is requesting a $100 for all payments made to Cricket Wireless.
Cricket immediately accessed the account for Mr., and found that his account was activated on January 18, 2018 and suspended on January 27, 2017. Per our records Mr. did not purchase mobile insurance for his device on his activation date, or within the 7-day period after device purchase. Our records show that the Authorized Retail store contacted Cricket's customer service on January 27, 2017 and requested to add his device to the industry-wide database that blocks the use of stolen devices. Mr.' account was also suspended temporarily in case the device was found, and he could easily restore services.
Please note that amounts paid for service charges are non-refundable and account balances are not transferable, refundable, or redeemable for cash. If your account is suspended or cancelled, for any reason, any remaining balance will be forfeited. For more information visit https://www.cricketwireless.com/terms.
We contacted Mr. and advised on the aforementioned. He was not happy with the information provided and stated that he feels we do not want to help him. He then disconnected the call. We regret we are not able to assist with Mr.' request.
We thank Mr. for his communication and trust that this explanation properly addresses his concern.

To sign up, Cricket Wireless requires you to purchase a $10 SIM card and the first month's service ($30/mo for the plan I chose). They make the switch sound very simple, put in the SIM card, activate it, and it works. It did not work on my phone, but I had to activate the number to find this out.(I also tried to call them for assistance in setting up the phone plan and they stated they could not help me.) Since I had to activate the number, even though I never got it to work (accept/send texts/calls or use 4G service), they claim I activated the service and refuse to refund my $30.59. You can "activate" the phone number without the phone actually working. I tried to call for a refund and they refused. It was never mentioned (at least not where it was noticeable) when I purchased the SIM card/1 month's plan) that if it did not work, they would not refund my money for the unused plan.

Should had looked on this site before going there. I went in last week with a 'bring your own phone" they switched my service and my phone number I had for over 10 years to their service, phone I brought in was not picking up the sims card, they charged me $65.00 I was told to wait till the following day. I went back in, they claimed it was the sprint phone I brought in, called back to sprint, was then told, wait three days and come back, plus I would be able talk to the manager at that time and he can get me a phone working. went back today, when I walked in, there was no manager, and I was told " THE MANAGER SAID, THERE IS NOTHING HE CAN DO FOR YOU, AND HE IS NOT GIVING YOU A PHONE" I called Cricket customer service, he said, go buy a sims card and call him back when the phone comes up. Cricket DID not work, and sprint did unlock the phones, and customer service told me, they CANNOT give me my 65.00 back, so im now out 75.00 and still did not get a phone.. location I went to was located in Richmond Michigan, please dont go in there, the manager is never there, and the one worker does not know anything about the service.
I went to the store to change phones so that I could get a mobile hotspot with an unlimited data plan. The owner told me that this phone would be compatible as of January 14th. I just had to change my plan after they updated their system. After the 14th I called to change my plan and they said it was done but my mobile hotspot was not working. So I called customer service and they told me that the phone I purchased would NOT work. After calling almost every day to speak to the owner who sold me the phone I've gotten no response or Solutions. The owner and the employees are not willing to help me or resolve the issue.

Dear Sir/Madam,
This correspondence is in reference to a complaint filed by ***. Ms. states that she purchased a new device from the Cricket Wireless Authorized Retailer with the understanding that the device would work with Mobile Hotspot on the Cricket Unlimited plan. Ms. feels that the Authorized Retailer was not honest and should assist her by trading the device for one that is compatible.
On February 06, Cricket reached out to Ms. and to our local management team in order to properly investigate Ms. claim.
The Authorized Retailer has responded to the complaint, stating she selected the device and processed the PPP application online prior to coming in. She was also shown different devices compatible with mobile hotspot and she decided to go to the Stylo 3 because she needed the stylist pen. Cricket's Independent Sales Executive, Ms. has called the customer and has left voicemail messages. To date, Ms. has not responded or returned the local manager's attempted calls.
According to Cricket Wireless' established Terms and Conditions, Ms. had 7 days to return the device. We ask that she please see those Terms and Conditions at www.cricketwireless.com/terms.
Cricket Wireless apologizes to Ms. for any inconvenience or poor service she felt she received. Cricket strives to provide excellent service and we regret when that high standard is not met.
We thank Ms. for her communication and trust that this explanation properly addresses her complaint.

Transferred my *** plan for a month-to-month plan with Cricket Wireless in Vernon, Texas on January 29, 2018. I have difficulty getting cell service with *** so I asked if there was a way I could check out Cricket's service before I signed up. Sales Associate said no, but I was told twice that they have a 7-day trial period plus there was a poster on their counter that also said 7-day trial period so I took a chance on them. I was unable to get cell service so I returned the phone and all accessories two days later. I paid $146 out the door for a phone, phone insurance for one month, one month's service and accessories. I was told immediately that the accessories could not be returned which I had already figured that would be the case. The Sales associate entered my information into the computer and the "main" office refused any refund. The phone was free with sign-up, but I am being charged for $60 for one months service and $7 for phone insurance on a phone that is not active. (I already signed up with US *** I realize that $67 is not that much, but I think people should be aware of the lack of customer service that one will receive at Cricket. In fact while I was in the store a lady came in saying that the phone she has had for only 4 months was getting extremely hot, and could they check it out for her. The reply was there was nothing they could do, and they recommended that she upgrade her phone. She asked if she would be charged, and the answer was yes. The Sales Associates were polite and tried to help but I think there hands are tied due to the policies set by their employer.

Other (requires explanation) It would be nice if I could get a refund for the $67 for the unused service and insurance for the phone, but mostly I want people to be aware of the lack of service that you get from Cricket Wireless.

Cricket Wireless offered a great 16GB LG Fortune free when u switched prepaid Networks. Along w a airtime card for $30.00 I also ordered a case and screen protector. I proceeded with my information at checkout. I entered Everything Correctly With my auto fill!!! I j. The first time I hit process payment it sent me an Error message stating that the address for my billing was incorrect. So I go over the information auto fill had entered and it was the correct address. So I proceeded once more only to get the same Error message *. I then called Cricket Wireless and spoke to a customer service Rep about the Error message they informed me that I needed to call my Debit card company to verify the address is correct. I did just that. I explained what happened she informed me my account billing address was correct. Once more I go back to CricketWireless.com to proceed with my order for the third time it sent me the same Error message *. I went online to Global.com thinking maybe I'd find the missing information Cricket is requiring. That's when I discovered my account balance was only $8.00. I scrolled down to see three payments from Cricket Wireless was taken from my debit account in the amount of 51.44. once again called my debit card company (Global ) The customer service Rep informed me that Cricket Wireless had partially accepted all 3 payments attempts. She said they could release the funds if Cricket would email me a letter with the exact information she gave me. I called Cricket back spoke to a customer service supervisor and was told they couldn't do anything about their error which removed 3 payments of 51.44 from my account. That they were sorry that left me only $8.00 to live on for the next week and a half as well as they couldn't allow me to speak to a higher ranking supervisor nor could offer me the letter so my funds could be Immediately returned. He said I had to wait for them to release the money in 5 to 7 business days.

Complaint ID: XXXXXXXX
Dear Sir/Madam,
This correspondence is in reference to a complaint filed by ***. In the complaint, Ms. expresses her dissatisfaction with Cricket Wireless' website when attempting to order a free LG Fortune with a port-in, a screen protector, a case and one month of $30 service. Ms. states that after three attempts to place her order, she was charged 3 times at $51.44 for each transaction. She claims Cricket was unable to assist her in the release of the funds and she was unable to order the device and services. She also explains that the $154.32 held by Cricket Wireless caused her a hardship. Ms. is requesting that Cricket Wireless provide her the full order including the month of service free of charge.
We appreciate all of Ms. effort to join the Cricket Wireless network. It appears that Cricket was unable to verify the information Ms. provided for her online order. These security measures are in place to protect consumers and limit fraud. We ask that Ms. see Cricket Wireless' Terms and Conditions under the heading "Online Orders" at www.cricketwireless.com/terms it states: In order to protect Cricket and its customers from fraudulent activity, we may implement reasonable procedures regarding any online orders including, but not limited to, validating information provided or limiting the amount of equipment (e.g. wireless phones) and/or services that may be ordered online by a single individual or entity. Cricket reserves the right to further limit quantities or to cancel or reject orders in its sole discretion.
We apologize to Ms. for any inconvenience or poor service she felt she received. Cricket strives to provide excellent service and we regret when that high standard is not met.
Cricket Wireless' Corporate Manager, Damaris, spoke with Ms. on February 8, 2018. Ms. feels that her request is valid and was not pleased with the answer provided. We have reviewed our systems and have found that Cricket Wireless is not holding any funds for Ms.. If she is still interested in taking advantage of the sale, she may attempt to order online once again with a different payment method or she can order at one of Cricket Wireless' Authorized Retailers. As a courtesy, we will provide her a credit of $30 for her second month of service. This offer is valid until April 12, 2018.
We thank Ms. for her communication and consider this complaint resolved.

Cricket cancelled my account due to a mistake on thier behalf which they admitted after a 4 day wait. They told me although it was their fault they still needed me to them my bill plus a activation fee and the would credit the full amount of 61.67 back to my account when I called to verify the credit the first agent said yes we see a supervisor told you that but he would have to be the one to do the credit and that they would have that supervisor call me back in a hour,well 4 hours went by with no return call so I called back and ask to speak to a supervisor and he told me he did see any of that and my phone account wasnt cancelled just suspended do to nonpayment when I told him if that was the truth then why did I have to pay a activation fee of 15 dollars he would not answer and said he would give me a 11.00 credit and refused to give me the corporate number. I want to sue them, my phone was off for 2 weeks because of them.
