This company has a no return policy on accessory, however they have no signs posting their policy. It states it on receipt that is not known until after transaction has taken place. I made a purchase while out of town and wasnt able to get product to work, tried to return it to a branch in my area and was told to return to same store as purchased drove 2 hours and was told manager wasnt in store until tomorrow, two days later still no return phone call from manager.
Account_Number: XXX-XXX-XXXX
Other (Requires Explaination) Signs placed in all branch for buyers to made aware of risk associated with Cricket wireless, my money returned as I left the product with the company hoping for a return phone call which was never received either.
This correspondence is in response to a complaint filed by Mr. Carl ***. Mr. states he couldn't return the accessory he purchased while out of town to his local Authorized Retail location.
We attempted to reach Mr. on January 27 and 31, 2020 without success both by phone and e-mail.
We wanted to advise him of the reason why he couldn't return the device to a different location. We also wanted to advise him that the information that he received is correct. The return policy is printed on the receipt.
We thank Mr. for his communication and trust that this explanation properly addresses his complaint.

Hello, I just recently tried to begin service and was told that I could have Hotspot on my non Cricket phone. They lied about it
I am not located in GA. Im LOCATED IN FLORIDA.
I am asking for my 90 dollars back due to the fact that i was told my phone will work with their services and it did not. also i could not use my phone to tether to my laptop and televison because they say it has to be an Cricket phone only. Thats how they ripped you off and 1000 of other customers also.
This correspondence is in response to a complaint filed by ***. In this complaint, Mr. states he switched to Cricket Wireless and was told his device would be compatible. Unfortunately, he was not able to use his device and is requesting a refund.
Cricket does not issue refunds for any unused portion of the bill. Any unused portion will be forfeited due to our terms and conditions. Our terms and conditions can be found here: www.cricketwireless.com/terms.
We have made an exception and agreed to issue Mr. a refund for his last payment. He can expect his amount refunded back to his original form of payment in 3-5 business days.
We contacted Mr. on February 12, 2020 and advised him of our resolution. Mr. was happy with our resolution and had no further questions.
We thank Mr. for his communication and trust that this explanation properly addresses his concerns.

I got a bridge payment with cricket wireless last week and it was to be for 7 days and I had to put 50 dollars down! Then on Monday the 20th of January my grandmother was unresponsive with strok like symptoms and was rushed to the hospital for immediate observation! I then proceed to call cricket wireless this morning January 21 and ask if I was able to extend the bridge payment til Thursday and I stressed the importance of me having my phone services still on due to my grandmother being as sick as she is and my family takes care of her! Then the representative continued to inform me that my bill is back up to the $110 dollars that it was prior to making the bridge payment! So now they are charging me half more than what the bill actually is! So instead of me paying the 70 dollars now I'm back to paying the full 110 when I already paid $50 bridge payment! And they were not helpful at all with my situation with my grandmother! Once the call came in that my grandmother was unresponsive! I totally forgot about making a call about another bridge payment ! This company is over charging me on the bill and they have no compassion *** their customers .

Other (Requires Explaination) I'd like to not be over charged on my phone bill! Which is what cricket is doing! The bill was 110 dollars I paid 50 bucks with left a balance of 70 dollars so why is the bill back up to 110 dollars I don't have money to spend or waste on a company who is inconsiderate and seems to be money hungry . And if possible re-extend my bridge payment til the 23 of January
This correspondence is in response to a complaint filed by Ms. *** regarding Cricket Wireless BridgePay feature.
We attempted to contact Ms. on February 7, 2020, February 10, 2020, and February 11, 2020 but we were unsuccessful. Should Ms. wish to discuss this matter further, please contact Ms. at XXX-XXX-XXXX.

I and my family have been customers of cricket for about 5 years now. I had 5 lines of service with this company for that 5 year time span. I started paying only 110.00 total for those 5 lines which made it a great deal at the time and I kept it like that for 5 years until I went into the store one day and purchased an iPhone 11 pro max from their loan company which is separate from them, but the only thing that I wanted to add to my bill was insurance for the iPhone which was only gonna be an additional 11 dollars a month which would have taken the bill to 117.00 per month. I get out of the store and 2 days later I get a text saying my bill was 150.00. I called them and they told me that the customer service rep had did something wrong and that the bill should only be 125.00 per month and I told them how when I should only be paying 117.00 with the insurance. They told me that they were sorry but the rep should have told me that when I added insurance to the phone that I was actually gonna be opting out of my old bill that I was grandfathered into and that there was nothing that can be done about it but to pay my current bill of 132.00 per month
Product_Or_Service: Apple //smart plan
Account_Number: XXX-XXX-XXXX
Other (Requires Explaination) I would like a 300 dollar credit for the year so my bill can only be the 117.00 that its supposed to be since it was due to no fault of my own or somehow adjust my bill every month so it reflects the 117.00 price. While at the Cricket store the customer service rep never mentioned anything to me that such a thing would happen otherwise I would not have gotten the insurance, I was also told by the supervisor at the store that the representative made a mistake and clicked on the wrong thing.
This correspondence is in reference to a complaint filed by ***. In this complaint, Ms. states that she had a billing discrepancy over her multi-line account that occurred at an Authorized Retailer. Ms. is requesting to be returned back to her original plan.
After investigating Ms. 's concern we found that changes had been made to the account which resulted in her grandfathered rate plan being removed. Per Cricket's policy, if a change is processed to a grandfathered group save plan, it can change the pricing structure for the customer. Account changes that affect grandfathered plans include:
Adding a line
Canceling a line
Changing a rate plan
Moving a line to another account
Resuming a line from cancel
Adding a feature to an account
Despite our policy, we have agreed to make a one-time exception and return Ms. to her original plan. Effective February 18, 2020, the grandfathered plan has been restored.
We thank Ms. for her communication and trust that this explanation properly addresses her concern.

THEY SUCK AND CLAIM THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO PROVIDE REFUNDS. I WENT TO ACTIVATE MY ACCOUNT AND WAS ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD DUE TO MY CURRENT PHONE NOT BEING UNLOCKED. THE REP STATED THAT THEY ARE UNABLE TO PROVIDE REFUNDS ONCE THE PAYMENT IS PROCESSED. I REQUESTED TO SPEAK WITH A SUPERVISOR AND THE SUPERVISOR STATED THEY CANNOT PROVIDE A REFUND AND THAT I WOULD NEED TO CONTACT MY BANK. WHAT CELL PHONE PROVIDER WOULD NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO PROVIDE A REFUND, ESPECIALLY ONE THAT LITERALLY JUST ACTIVATED THEIR ACCOUNT! THE REP WHO HELPED ME WITH THE ACTIVATION TOOK THE PAYMENT OUT BEFORE MAKING SURE THAT THE ACTIVATION WAS SUCCESSFUL! POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE AND I ONLY DEALT WITH THEM FOR A TOTAL OF 30 MINS! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND I WILL NEVER TRY CRICKET WIRELESS EVER AGAIN! THEY WERE QUICK TO TAKE THE MONEY OUT OF MY ACCOUNT BUT DO NOT WANT TO PROVIDE THE REFUND WHEN I CAN'T EVEN USE THEIR SERVICES!
Good morning Ms.,

I WOULD LIKE TO OBTAIN A REFUND FOR THE $90 THAT I PAID. THE FACT THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO REFUND CUSTOMERS IS UNHEARD OF. IT IS 2020 AND A SIMPLE REFUND WAS ALL THAT I WAS ASKING FOR. WOULD YOU BE ABLE TO PROVIDE ME WITH THAT?
Good morning Ms., Cricket Wireless expectations are that every customer that we assist has an extraordinary experience. We appreciate your additional review and would love an opportunity to further investigate your concern, however we do not have any information regarding your account.

WHAT IS THE EMAIL ADDRESS WHERE I CAN SEND AN EMAIL TO?
My phone number was ported out without my consent to from cricket wireless to simple mobile on December22,2019. I've been in contact with Cricket multiple times throughout the process. They have given me time frames of 3 to 5 days, 10- 12 days, 24 to 48 hours, and even 12 hours. It has been 29 days and they have yet to resolve this issue and continually lie to me each and every time I call. On day 29 I called again and they said they closed the ticket and were starting over. I a self employed and use this number for my business. I have been losing out on money since this has started.
Product_Or_Service: Samsung /S10e/
Account_Number: XXX-XXX-XXXX
Other (Requires Explaination) I would like to get this number back. It has been ported to *** and *** has stated to me that they are ready to release it to cricket wireless. Cricket's port department is to call *** and complete that port process and for some reason they are not doing it. (XXX)XXX-XXXX is the number I want back. (XXX)XXX-XXXX is number I can be contacted on now.
This correspondence is in response to a complaint filed by ***. In this complaint, Ms. states that her phone number was fraudulently ported out to another carrier without her permission, and that she has been unable to resolve the issue.
We want to assure Ms. that her account's security is a top priority for Cricket Wireless. After researching her account, we believe she may be the victim of identity theft originating outside of her Cricket Wireless account. The individual who accessed her Cricket Wireless account had enough information to authenticate her account and make changes. This individual may then have used Ms. phone number in an attempt to gain access to other accounts where Ms. uses her phone number for verification. If she hasn't already done so, we advise Ms. to file a police report regarding the suspected identity theft.
Our records indicate that we were able to retrieve Ms. wireless number, restore her original service plan, apply eligible credits to her account, and help her update her account security information.
We thank Ms. for her communication and trust that this explanation properly addresses her concern.

The issue has been solved. Thank you
To Whom *** Concern:
I am filing this complaint for my daughter who is overseas
My daughter's name is ***. She purchased an I phone at the local Jacksonville Beach store in The address is 1376 Beach Blvd Jacksonville Beach Florida XXXXX. Phone number XXX-XXX-XXXX of the I phone. She purchased the phone on 12/21/2019. She paid a total of $825.00 for the phone an activation plan and insurance. She told them at the store she would be going to Scotland for school. When she went back to Scotland she was found out that she could not use the phone in Scotland. She went online to chat to have the phone unlocked. She was told that she would have to pay 6 months of the plan to have the phone unlocked. Cricket does not have international calling in Scotland.
She contacted me and I called the Cricket customer service line. I was told to have her send the phone back to me and take it back to the local store for a refund. I went to the store today. I was refused a refund as I was told that they only take returns after 7 days. I was also told that she could just sign up for the international calling and it would work in Scotland. I also talked to the manager.
I then came home and called Cricket customer service 4 times to obtain a supervisor. He told me that the store was right and that her bill is overdue? It is not 01/21/2020. It is not 30 days. One of the reps during the call did confirm you have Cricket has no calling plan in Scotland.
My daughter's name is ***. The phone number is XXX-XXX-XXXX of the I phone that I now have.
She deserves a full refund as she was lied to.
I have been a customer for several years. She was also on my ex -husbands cricket plan for over two years. I don't appreciate how long time customers are treated. I expect a phone call in return and her to be contacted back on this matter. I would like the store owner
Product_Or_Service: Apple /I phone/***
Account_Number: XXX-XXX-XXXX
Other (Requires Explaination) A full refund and contact back from store owner. I also sent a complaint to Cricket's Corporation in Atlanta. These are deceptive practices. I can supply the merchant ID# but your complaint is not taking it.
This correspondence is in response to a complaint filed by Ms. *** regarding Cricket Wireless. In this complaint, Ms. states that her daughter was advised by a Cricket Wireless Authorized Retailer that she could use her newly purchased phone while traveling outside of the U.S. However, when arriving in the UK she was unable to use the device. She is requesting a refund for the device or to have the device unlocked.
Upon receiving the complaint, we contacted management for the Authorized Retailer associated with the purchase and requested further information. They advised that the customer was outside of the 7-day return policy, therefore they would be unable to return or refund the device.
Per Cricket's unlock policy we will provide the unlock code upon request, provided Cricket has the unlock code or can reasonably obtain it from the manufacturer, and you have met the following unlocking requirements:
1. The device you want to unlock has been active for at least six months of paid service on that device. *
2. The device is designed for use on and is locked to Cricket's network.
3. The device has not been reported lost or stolen.
4. The device is not associated with a fraudulent account.
Unfortunately, the device in question does not meet the 6-month requirement. For this reason, we will be unable to unlock the device. Ms. *** request that the device be unlocked as soon as the device meets all requirements.
We thank Ms. for bringing this issue to our attention and for allowing us an opportunity to assist her.

I do not have any supporting documents. However, I do not agree. I was told that the the staff remember my daughter when she came in and said that she did not mention anything about going overseas. When I went in to the store to discuss the issue, I was told by the worker that my daughter just needed to sign up for International calling when Cricket does not have international calling to Scotland. I was told by their customer service on the phone before I went into the store that my daughter would get her money back. This store is owned by a LLC out of Texas that owns over 200 stores. They misrepresent in the store and in their customer service. I am not satisfied.

Re: Ms. ***
Dear Sir/Madam,
This correspondence is in response to a rebuttal to a complaint filed by Ms. ***. In this complaint, Ms. states that she doesn't agree with the original response provided by Cricket Wireless.

Cricket web site advertises on the Jacksonville Beach store web site that there are no annual contracts, phones are prepaid phones and that the service can be dropped at anytime. This is false advertising. I will also look into pursing this matter in other ways if Cricket refuses to issue a refund or unlock the phone. The full price of the phone was paid for. The phone was prepaid. The service was no longer desired as it could not be used in Scotland. The phone should have been unlocked for usage if a refund could not be made.
For two weeks (beginning ***. 4, 2020) I have had difficulty using a phone that I've only had for four months (though I have been a Cricket customer already). The signal continues to drop, which means very poor data and connection. THEY SAY it's a tower issue (if that's even true) that was being fixed. It's not fixed! Some days I have ZERO connection and a prompt that says "no service" (I cannot make or receive phone calls, no texting, cannot browse internet and some apps will not load). Other days there is poor connection and I get a prompt that says "Emergency Calls Only". Several times I've borrowed someone's hotspot device just so I can use my phone. Now the hotspot device needs updating, so now I have nothing to use. I've called Cricket, messaged them on FB, gone to a store 3 times. I've had my phone's APN reset, been disconnected from/reconnected to tower, other type of resets. Still nothing works. I got a $10 credit for my troubles but of course that solves nothing. I drive Uber on the side and this data has dropped even DURING deliveries!!
They keep claiming they are fixing the problem or that they have fixed it, but it's still a problem. I think they're lying this point and I've seen comments from people in other states complaining about same issue! They're taking our money and giving us no service or poor service. I've also seen others complaints from people involving Cricket refusing to issue refunds to people for things like setting up the wrong phone for customers (the Cricket rep didn't bother to check phone compatibility when a customer switched from another company) even though that's Cricket's fault. Or charging people for problems they cause.
Cricket does not fix issues, they lie and they take people's money.

I ported my number from cricket to *** so that I could get an upgrade on my actual cell phone. With cricket I couldn't afford to get an apple phone. And the LG phones that I would get the battery kept dying out and wouldn't charge. My payments were auto debated the day before I ported. When I contacted cricket about refunding my payment for the service I did not use, they refused . I am an elderly woman on a fixed income and can't afford to pay people for services not rendered

Cricket offers "Bridge pay" which is a way to pay your phone bill in two installments. The first one is $15 and then in a week the rest of your bill is due. I paid $15 and the rest $45 was due on 1/13. I called 611 to pay the 45 the night of 1/13, it wouldn't accept my payment twice. I tried to pay online, it wouldn't take my wifes card. First thing in the morning of 1/14 I went to a cricket location. The kid working accepted my $45 payment and said cricket would honor my bridge pay since it wasn't my fault the system wasn't working the night before. I paid the remainder which was the $45 and my phone was on. The morning of 1/15 my phone was off. I called Cricket and basically was told I was screwed bc I still owed money bc they didn't honor my bridge pay. I was hung up on repeatedly. I had to talk to call back six different times. They said it wasn't their fault and that I had other options to pay 1/13 like go to a cricket location. Cricket was closed for the evening. I was lied to repeatedly. I was told that I was lying bc customers can only pay bridge pay over the phone and not in location. I have always paid in cash in location bc I don't have a debit card, but was continuously called a liar and that I was wrong. I love the company and service but their customer service is awful. They are rude and condescending. So I went without my phone for a day and had to pay an extra $15 bc their service screwed up. Don't understand how I can pay, have my phone turned back on, and said it was all okay only to have my phone turned back off and be talked down to. It's not the money it is the principal and how I was treated. They need to work on their Customer Service. BIG time.

Re: Mr. ***
Dear Sir/Madam,
This correspondence is in response to a complaint filed by Mr. ***. In this complaint, Mr., states that he experienced issues processing a payment due to Cricket's systems being down. He is requesting a refund of the additional payment required to restore his service.
We reviewed Mr. account and we were able to determine that the reason he couldn't process the payment was because he was attempting to make the payment after the payment cutoff time of 11:59 pm CST. We contacted Mr. and explained that his payment must post to his account prior to 11:59pm CST on the bill due date. This information is available on our website and sent via text message to the customer 1 day prior to the due date.
Cricket's terms and conditions, which can be found at www.cricketwireless.com/terms, state that any payments made to Cricket Wireless are nonrefundable and nontransferable. However, we have made an exception and issued a one-time courtesy credit to his account.
We thank Mr. for allowing us an opportunity to assist him with his complaint.

Enrolled in bridge pay service on 1/5/20. I paid the $40 to enroll in bridge pay. I told the Marcella who helped me that I could not afford the $50 that would be due by 1/14/20.As a courtesy they provided a $10 discount. I was told the amount that would be due is $40 on 1/14/20. I Paid the $40 on 1/14/20.My service was suspended on 1/15/2020.I called in and talked to Jesse ID# XXXXXXXX, he told me in order to get my service reinstated it would be an additional $50 due. I told him that I could not afford the additional $50 and was originally told that $40 would be due 1/14/20 which was paid. He said there was nothing he could do about that.

I started having issues with my cell phone a month after I got it. As well as my wife's phone I tried to get them to take it back or fix it. I was told they could not do anything because I did not get insurance on it. They told me I needed to buy another phone. They tried to force me to pay more money for another phone even though I just bought the moto E5 supra. I could not afford it. A couple moths went by and I started having more and more problems. Some issues went away on there own but for every one that went away 2 or 3 more problems would come up. I have contacted them many more times only to be hung up on or placed on hold for hours at a time till I had to hang up. Every time I asked to speak with a supervisor I was told no or hung up on as well as being placed on hold till I hung up. I finally got them to let me talk to the warranty department because it had a 1 year factory warranty on it. They wanted me to send it to them and let them fix it before sending it back to me. This would take up to a couple weeks. I use my phone for work and can not afford to not have a phone for 2 weeks. Another option was to take it to a licensed retailer and have them replace it. The closest one is a 12 hour drive. Cant do that. The last option they gave me was to pay $125 and they will send me a NEW one. I would then send the old one back and get my money back. I told them I could not do that because I didn't have the money. Today I called to get one sent because I have the money. Now I was told $175 and $20 for S&H. Plus I would only get a refurbished one in return. my phone does not have a single scratch or mark on it It looks brand new and they want to send me a used phone. I have read some of the complaints online about the used phones they send back. They are beat up and scratched plus don't work half the time. I did not keep my phone in perfect condition just to have them give me one that is messed up.
Account_Number: XXX-XXX-XXXX
Other (Requires Explaination) I would like to have my shipping refunded and a NEW phone sent to me. Not a used phone. If they want to fix mine and send it back I will be happy with that as well. I have taken very good care of mine and would like to keep it if they fix it. I have recorded all the info and data info off it so I will know if they try to send me a different one. I also have pictures and video of the condition as well.
This correspondence is in response to a complaint filed by Mr. S. ***. In this complaint, Mr., states that he received a warranty replacement device that didn't work. He is asking to have another device shipped to him.
During our investigation we were able to determine that on 1/16/2020 a replacement device was shipped to Mr. via UPS. We contacted Mr. and provided him with our findings. We also advised him that per the tracking information that he provided us, the device will be delivered by the end of day on 1/21/2020.

Re: *** S ***
Dear Sir/Madam,
This correspondence is in response to a rebuttal to a complaint filed by Mr. S. ***. In this complaint, Mr., states that he received a warranty replacement device that didn't work. He is asking to have a refund for all of the charges associated with getting a replacement device.
During our investigation we were able to determine that Mr. has received a replacement device that is functioning properly. He is now requesting reimbursement for costs associated with the replacement process.
We explained that per the warranty exchange option he selected, the warranty department has to receive the device back before they will ship another device. This information can be found at cricketwireless.com/warranty. Therefore, we will not be able to accommodate his request for a reimbursement
We thank Mr. for allowing us an opportunity to assist him in this matter and trust that this explanation properly addresses his concerns.

I dont have full service both data and phone at my home adress. I have calls drop daily. I dont receive all my calls. U dont receive all my texts on a daily basis I have interuptions at my home address mostly. Even outside. I called 5x and they have not resolved my issue. They say they will make a ticket and they didnt. They say they call and they dont. Or their call isnt coming though. The rep said his call didnt then they said cuz the next one did the problem is resolved. They said even though u are having this trouble we dont have to offer u a refund. I said I know thats not true. But maybe it is if im not a contract customer. Im go8ng to find out. I am a busy disabled visually impaired person. I dont have time for such nonsense. If I wasnt being honest with them I wouldnt bother I am not broke. I have medical expenses I appearwntly have to use to switch carriers so my doctors, asthmatic daughter and on the verge of death brother in wisconsin. And my other friend who has severe depresion. I will tell them dont call me I will call u. This problem has been reported since october. B7t I believed them when they said it was resolved. When he checked to see where the tower is to me he said it was kinda far. And by the interstate. Perhaps I have more trouble during rush hour when the contract customer are put on priority. Perhaps I will examine that hypothesis.

I have told them repeatedly they can NOT credit funds back to a CLOSED pre paid account. I have not been issued a refund. I also went as far as asking to use the funds for accessories at their store . I need my 93.33. This is not pocket change. I don't understand what the issue is. I didn't use it. It was a credit and I'd like it back! They need to make arrangements for me to pick it up at a local store in some type of shape fashion or form r credit it to my daughters account she's still an active cricket user.

We researched Mr. account and found that the payment he made on November 11, 2019 was reversed by his financial institution. This caused a balance to be added to his account which required him to make a second payment in the month of January.

To Whom It *** Concern,
My family and I have the unlimited family plan with Cricket Wireless. I was very happy up until I went to get a tablet/phone hooked up. First, I want to state that I was a very happy customer and I recommended my friends to your company as well. After the problem, I had with an employee today at the Cricket on the address below.
1215 Homestead Rd. N,
Lehigh Acres, Fl. 33936
With the Employee name "SISSY" at this store, I am amazed by her attitude and how I was treated by her. She was very rude and had a bad attitude. I wanted a tablet/phone hooked up and it was not unlocked, but I had paid $10.64 for the sim card and she would not let me keep the sim card or refund my money. I left upset because you don't take money from someone and if something is not compatible or not inlocked the customer (MYSELF) should of either got to keep the SIM CARD or I should of got a refund of that $10.64 back. This is stealing someone's money and to throw away a new SIM CARD I just purchased was totally wrong. I walked out with a phone not connected and no Sim Card that I just paid for. I asked her why I couldn't keep the new SIM CARD, She said there are NO REFUNDS, Now if I just purchased the SIM CARD and the phone was unable for connection that SIM CARD is mine to keep because I just bought it, Sissy said I needed to purchase another phone in order to keep the SIM CARD, That is wrong so wrong! No employee should ever argue or get a fresh mouth with an ongoing paying customer. So I paid for a SIM CARD, Sissy your employee either should of let me keep the SIM CARD I paid for or I should have got a refund right then and there. she STOLE my MONEY. This is wrong, I ask You to please help me with this matter, It may not be a big amount of money to anyone but to me a DISABLED female on a fixed income it is a big deal.
Email me back at..

I look forward to hearing something from your office.

I Miss *** received a phone call from the service rep. "SISSY" and Sissy told me she herself took it upon herself and investigated this issue, when it was you the Revdex.com. I am super unsatisfied with this customer service agent that I got treated really badly when I went to get the sim card and my refund back.I got nasty attitude by 3 other people in the store..To the point that this issue was made front of with the manager in the back room and I heard all the FOWl attitude with my complaint, that is wrong with a store full of 12 people knowing what I did with asking you the Revdex.com for help. I was insulted and now my family and friends are all taking our cellular business elsewhere.Customer Service should of refunded me in the beginning, if it was, this would of never of happened. I am shocked that the people working at this Cricket store can get away with treating customers like they are above someone else and to call me fowl names while I am there and in front of other customers is not acceptable to me at all. It was rude,unprofessional and for that cause I think 'SISSY" should be fired or she needs to learn some anger management.
I would also like an apology because I have been a Cricket customer for over 10 years now. I was very happy with everything but please take in consideration that I left in upsetment the day I got my refund. NO ONE SHOULD BE CALLED NAMES OR BE PUT DOWN IN ANY WAY. .EVER!!!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP IN THIS MATTER. I HOPE THIS ISSUE GETS TAKING CARE OF AS WELL NOW, BECAUSE I AM VERY UPSET OVER THIS ENTIRE MATTER!
