Dear Sir/Madam,
This correspondence is in reference to a complaint filed by Mr.. In this complaint, Mr. states that he believes the local Cricket Wireless Authorized Retailer may have sold him a device that was previously damaged.
We did speak with the local Cricket Wireless Sales Executive, and the Authorized Retail Store Manager about Mr. complaint. An arrangement was made and Mr. met with the local Cricket Wireless Sales Executive to inspect the device on January 20, 2018. In researching the device, it was determined that the device may have been damaged without Mr. knowledge after the purchase was made. The local Sales Advocate also explained Cricket Wireless's refund/return policy to Mr..
We spoke with Mr. on January 19, and 24, 2018 to discuss his complaint. Mr. stated that he will purchase another device through Ebay in the future, and had no further questions or concerns.
We thank Mr. for his communication and trust that this explanation properly addresses his concern.

Dear Sir/Madam,
This correspondence is in reference to a rebuttal filed by Mr.. In this complaint, Mr. states that he is unsatisfied with the quality of the device since it was damaged after hitting the ground while the device was inside a rubber case.
We communicated with Mr. via email on January 30, 2018, to discuss his rebuttal complaint. We explained to him that Cricket Wireless does not directly manufacture any devices. The devices that we sell, are designed and distributed through their respective manufacturer. We appreciate Mr. feedback, and would also recommend that he provide the feedback to the device manufacturer.
We thank Mr. for his communication and trust that this explanation properly addresses his concern.

I have had Cricket Wireless Service for 4 months now. This month we added my husbands line to my account and despite the coverage map that said it would work, t doesn't work at his office. We had to cancel the service with 16 days left on the prepaid month. When I asked to have the unused service applied to my account, t was refused though I was not explained anything in the store. When I asked to see the terms and conditions in the store the guy signing me up said I didn't need to and that they "basically said" and then a short explanation. The customer service people were awful despite the fact that I never lost my temper and calmly asked for a reasonable solution to the problem. Because of this I am rating them as one star, will be cancelling my service, and leaving reviews.
I paid for my phone in full I need it unlocked per new regulations Cricket can not deny my request. Yet they did.
On February 11, 2015, the FCC restructured cell phone laws to provide consumers with the option to unlock their mobile devices without service providers being able to refuse this request. In the revision, the FCC adopted six standards set on limiting ways service providers can lock your phone. These new regulations have given users the chance to unlock their phone so the device can used with another carrier. :: Below are some reasons the carrier may refuse your unlock request:
If you are in contract with your carrier, they will not unlock your device until the contract has been finished.
If you have gotten a phone on an installment plan your carrier will not unlock your phone until the device is paid off and you officially own the device.
If you have leased a device through your provider, they will not unlock the device as you do not own the device.
The most common way to have your device unlocked is to pay for the device once your lease is up or buy out your lease and the phone.
If you have bought a prepaid phone outright, they will not give you the unlock code. The carrier will not unlock the phone for one year after the purchase and activation of the prepaid phone.
If you have a prepaid phone from Boost or Virgin Mobile, the carrier may require the phone to be active with their service at least 6 months before they will agree to unlock the phone. This is generally due to the phone being sold well below retail value. Cricket Wireless is NOT named to be able to refuse unlock
Just unlock my paid in full phone.
I have decided this is simply not worth it. I will either elk that phone or just toss it in a drawer. Thank you
The worker never told my husband to turn off data when using Wi-Fi which caused him to use all data. When speaking to lady she was going to add 1gb to his line nut States make sure he turned off the data when using Wi-Fi. When calling the next day...Today the man said no they can't do that. They refused to help and wanted me to pay more money for their employee at store and on hotline not doing there job correctly.

Dear Sir/Madam,
This correspondence is in reference to a complaint filed by Ms.. In this complaint, Ms. states that Cricket Wireless never informed her to turn off cellular data while using Wi-Fi network. She also states that because of this misinformation, she has exceeded her high speed data allotment.
We have attempted to contact Ms. via telephone and email to discuss her complaint on January 15, 16, and 18, 2018, but were unsuccessful.
Cricket Wireless representatives are not required to provide the information regarding Wi-Fi connectivity. If the device is connected to a Wi-Fi network it doesn't use the cellular network. Turning off data/cellular network on some Android devices can lead to not receiving phone calls since many Android devices do not have the Wi-Fi calling feature.
We have provided Ms. with our contact information is the case she has additional questions or concerns. We thank Ms. for her communication and trust that this explanation properly addresses her complaint.

This correspondence is in reference to a complaint filed by *** regarding Cricket service. In his complaint, Mr. states that Cricket has an unlimited data plan, but he has received a text message that tells him, "Your data usage this month has exceeded 16.5GB. If you exceed 22GB before your next monthly plan cycle you can still use unlimited data, but your speeds may be reduced at times and in areas with network congestion. Wi-Fi helps avoid reduced speeds. Visit CricketWireless.com/mobilebroadband for info." He feels this is not the unlimited data he sign in for. He wants to receive a refund for services paid.
Cricket has researched Mr. account and verified that his device is on the $60 Unlimited Plan. As such, Mr. may have received notices regarding Congestion Management, if he used more than 22GB of data during a month. Cricket Wireless does not throttle data speeds or place a data cap on the Unlimited Plan. Customers on an Unlimited Plan that have used 22GB of data during their current monthly plan cycle may temporarily see reduced data speeds during times of network congestion. As soon as the congestion abates, or if the customer moves to an uncongested cell site, speeds and latency will no longer be impacted. Because the amount of congestion at a cell site can vary significantly, the performance impact for the affected customer may also vary significantly, but such impact will last only as long as the site is congested. Many customers will not notice an impact to their data speeds. For more information, please see Cricket's Mobile Broadband Information page at ***
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: ***
We contacted Mr. on January 12, 15 and 16, 2018 with no success. We also sent him an email and a text message with our contact information. Our records show that his account is suspended as of January 25, 2018, due to no payment. If Mr. still needs assistance please have him contact *** at ***.
We thank Mr. for his communication and trust that this explanation properly addresses his complaint.

I got Cricket as a way to quickly and cheaply get a new phone plan. At first it seemed to good to be true, because it was. The service was shoddy at best, my voicemail stopped working one day, their website and app NEVER work correctly and they have the poorest trained employees I've ever met. They'd lecherously hit on young women in the mall and asked to take my girlfriend's phone after she was done with it. Really shady stuff. I even went to upgrade my phone, placed my order and was excited to get it. I received an email simply stating, "we could not verify the information provided" which was followed by "if you'd like to purchase other Cricket merchandise". Yeah, right. Never again. That was the last straw and I cancelled my service with this infuriating company.
The young lady that set the account up was terrific! I got there right before closing and I will say she went the extra mile to try an help me out. The only issue I have there is she didn't tell me I was going to be charged for a sim card. ANY other provider you can get them free just for the asking. I was told the only thing I was going to have to pay for was activation and service. Shoot straight and be up front on ALL the charges. I did not take the "free" phone at the time, I plan to use my own phone. I paid cash outright for my phone June 9th 2017, had NO contract, but Sprint wants to give me a hard time about unlocking my phone. Less than 24 hours I went back to the same store to get the "free" phone just so I would have service until my phone is unlocked. Snotty jerk that was in the store that day said no way, now you pay. Said he'd sell me the cheapest phone for $20 PLUS charge me ANOTHER activation fee. I have a disabled daughter with 3 young children that they have to be able to reach me in the event of an emergency. I was told several times today "We want to help you", and that was the last I heard. And I still don't have service. My time here will be short. Aside from the little girl in the store, customer service here sucks!

I got on bridge pay to make sure my line was going to stay on. I paid it,only to be cut off TWO DAYS LATER. I didn't learn this until I tried to make a call before getting my disabled child ready for her doctors appointment which is an hour from home,and I had to sit here and get it situated before leaving my home. This is not the first time this has happened and I feel like it is unfair that a correct solution to the problem of getting cut off One and two days AFTER I PAY more than one time is just telling me they're sorry. No!

My rewards cards are on my phone in the redemption section of the the cricket app. They should have been able to determine that the cards have not been activated. I see no reason why they cannot give me the codes again. If in fact they were sent. I did not receive them. They should honor their agreement. I abided by their term and would like to be compensated.

I purchased Samsung Galaxy S7 IMEI #X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X in May 2016 from Cricket Wireless. On May 25, 2016 I activated this device and used it until 12-25-17 when I replaced it with an Apple iPhone 7 that I purchased from Apple directly. I contacted Cricket on 1-5-18 requesting the device be unlocked so that I can resell the device that I purchased from Cricket for over $700 in May 2016. I was told the device had not been active on the account long enough, that it had to be active for at least 6 months. The device had been active for over 19 months. I was told that "the system" shows the device was activated 5-25-16 for 1 day and then again 12-25-17 for 1 day and therefore did not meet the 6 month requirement. Clearly this is an error, but even after speaking to a supervisor was told the system was correct, basically calling me a liar. Now, logically, let's think about this. Why would I buy a $700 phone from Cricket and activate it for 1 day in May 2016, then wait 19 months and activate it 1 more day on 12-25-17? I used this device and only this device on line XXX-XXX-XXXX, I don't care what the system says. If I did not, then I want refunded for 19 months of service I paid for and supposedly did not use. But, this is the device used and it qualifies to be unlocked. Cricket's system is in error and after 2+ years of loyal patronage to Cricket I am treated this way. This is wrong and Cricket knows it. Admit your system made a mistake and is wrong and unlock the phone device.

I purchased a Harmony LG cell phone from the Cricket dealership at ***, on 1/2/18. The battery loses it's charge halfway through the day and I called the dealership today to have the problem resolved. I was told that I would have to handle it directly with LG because they can't control what they get from the manufacturer. When I said I wanted to return the phone, I was told they "were not sure" what the return policy is and he would have to "discuss it with his brother-in-law," the store owner. I reminded them that I purchased this phone less than 1 week ago and he began raising his voice and not allowing me to speak. He told me he had customers in the store and asked for my number. Then he told me, "if I don't get back to you, keep calling here." When I continued speaking, he hung up. I called back and said that, if necessary, I would report it to the Revdex.com and he said, "ok" and hung up on me.

This issue has NOT been resolved and after speaking with the Cricket Corporate Rep, she is going to reach out to the store and discuss with them.
It is hard to pick a complaint type: truth in advertising, customer service and failing to live up to the agreement are among the top!
I have been a customer of cricket since July 2017. My son, who is disabled and currently unemployed, but has a wife and child with whom he needs to maintain contact, has a phone that isn't working. I decided to take advantage of an advertised special on cricketwireless.com to get an apple iPhone se for him (the offer was for 99.99 for the phone when bringing over a new number, as we were). I had difficulty placing the order, and customer service was of no help, despite numerous calls (and every rep told me something different, including one who told me that all they did was take bill payments). Most of them were barely understandable, due to heavy accents of various types. I finally got the order placed online and it charged me $30 too much. I tried Customer service again, and was told that once I had a tracking number they could refund the money and also get the phone shipped directly to my son (in another state). He was supposed to call me the next day. Days went by with no phone call and no tracking number. Today when I checked on the order again, I was told that it had been cancelled! I called customer service again, and they told me that they could do nothing to assist. They said that I wouldn't be charged, but I have already been charged (on my credit card), and there has not been a refund.

Finish the job I want my 100% disabled son (who has enough problems) to get his phone (the iphone SE) at the right price (99.99) and his account (the 5G data plan for $40 per month, with a $5 discount for autopay), with the transfer of his number. I don't know why I want to give cricket another chance, given how furious this process has made me, but if they will make it right, I won't cancel my service and make it my business to write reviews about them all over the internet. and fix your CSR team!!!

Dear Sir/Madam,
This correspondence is in reference to a complaint filed by ***. In the complaint, Ms. expresses her dissatisfaction with Cricket Wireless' Representatives' English language proficiency. She states that when she reaches a representative, the representative is unable to address her needs.
Ms. attempted to purchase an Apple iPhone for her disabled son and feels that Cricket has made it near impossible to complete the task. The representatives were not able to assist her in placing the order and the order was canceled without notification. She would like for Cricket to make it right and process the order for her son to be able to have Cricket Wireless service.
We understand that Ms. would like to speak with a Customer Care Representative whom she could communicate with effectively. Cricket Wireless encourages global diversity within our workforce and even though our agents may have accents different from ours we can attest to their professionalism and ability to help our customers with their needs.

I ordered a LG stylo 3 phone, a case, and also paid for the one month contract plan. I received only the case in the box.
Upon receiving the box on Dec 27, 2017, I only had the case in the box and no phone. I called Cricket customer service and upon telling them I did not receive my new phone, they instead completed my number transfer to my new phone which deactivated the only phone I had. They told me they could not correct their mistake. They also told me they would NOT send the new phone to me and instead indirectly telling me that it was UPS fault. They also would not refund me for the phone and service plan. So I was left with my current phone deactivated, no new phone and out $90. It was the absolute worse hour of my life on the phone with trying to get simply their help in receiving what I had ordered. I felt like they literally stole my money and I got only a deaf ear from them asking for correcting their mistake. I would HIGHLY recommend no one ever working with this business.
I would like to simply be refunded for the phone and the contract plan. I did receive only the case in the box so I do not need to be refunded for the case. It was such a terrible experience working with this business that I subscribed back to straight talk.

On October 31st, I purchased a phone and signed up for service with the cricket retailer on West Genesee street in Syracuse. My total fee that day was $87.00. Initially their card reader wasn't working when I tried to pay this amount, but upon swiping it again it worked. When I got home and checked my bank account transactions, I noticed that $87 had been withdrawn from my account three times, one of which had been my purchase, and one of which had posted as having been refunded. However, the third $87 that was withdrawn, has yet to be refunded to this day. I contacted the store and reported this, and they informed me that they didn't know what happened, but they would have their accountant contact me. Two months later and still no word. In the mean time, I made this aware to my bank twice and followed up, but they have not been able to resolve this dispute either. On my receipt, they are listed as Cell phones for less, Inc. and have a number listed that is out of service.

Re: ***
Dear Sir/Madam,
This correspondence is in reference to a complaint filed by***. In this complaint, Mr. states that when he activated his service at a Cricket Wireless location he was charged three times, and only one of the charges was reversed.
We contacted Mr. on January 8th, 2017, and requested that he send us a copy of his bank statement to investigate the duplicate charges. Mr. reviewed his own statement again, and noticed that the pending charge dropped off so he only incurred one charge. No action needed to be taken in regard to this complaint.
Cricket strives to provide excellent service and we regret when that high standard is not met. We thank Mr. for his communication and trust that this explanation properly addresses his concern.

I have been without service for over 2 weeks. When I went into the I was not given any options or assistance to fix the issue.
I went into the sore and was told I had to buy a new phone which is fine. I was told I would have to pay for the phone and a $25.00 activation fee for service that was already active. Not acceptable in the mean time the bill was paid $90.00 for 2 lines. I ask for line 2ending in *** to be cancel I would go else where for service was told by supervisor *** no refund could be issued. How can they keep my money I paid and not issue a refund.
I would like the money refunded as requested and for them to give better customer service in the future.

On December 30, 2017, my family went to the Cricket Wireless Store in Oneonta, NY. The phones we wanted were not available (though advertised all over the store) and Lawerence, the rep on duty, informed us that we could get 3 LG Fortune phones free and upgrade at no additional cost when the phones we wanted became available. There was 1 phone chosen out of a total of 4 that was not free, however he told us it was $49.99. We asked about fees for changing phones after purchase and he again stated that after the initial $25 activation fee per line, there would not be any fees for phone changes. Once we were activated and paid the total was $360. This seemed high to me later, so I looked closely at the recepit. The rep also told us we could get a full refund within 7 days. We were charged $29.99 per 'free? phone and $79.99 for the $49.99 phone! 18 hours later-as soon as the store reopened-we returned everything only to get $150. The same rep that sold us the phones did the return (clearly there was NO trust at this point after all the lies he told the night before. He said he did not have enough cash in his drawer to do the refund and would call his manager. They came up with some bull about not refunding the service or activation fees. After only 18 hours (and only that long because the store was closed). How can he not have enough (he counted before calling his manager) to having just enough suddenly? I was very suspicious at this time and we contacted Cricket Corporate. The lady could not refund, but said that it was not right at all and to speak to a manager at a different location. This is not possible because the nearest location from Oneonta, NY (that we can find) is in Vestal, NY. 160 miles round trip and we have no money to do this because the Oneonta store stole $210 from us.

Other (requires explanation) The ONLY resolution we will accept is our $210 back. I would think that 18 hours grace period should be given. After all the lies that we were told, even answers to direct questions were lies, and the clear overcharging that occurred, I will warn every single person I can to stay very far away from Cricket Wireless.

Dear Sir/Madam,
This correspondence is in reference to a complaint filed by Ms.. In the complaint, Ms. details a negative experience at a Cricket Authorized Retailer. Ms. claims the Authorized Retailer provided misinformation, and then denied her a full refund after 18 hours of service. Ms. wants a full refund of $210.
The Cricket Authorized Retailer offered a refund for the device as part of the Cricket Refund Policy. All Cricket Wireless Authorized Retailer employees are trained to inform our customers of the Refund Policy at the time of purchase. Cricket's Refund Policy regarding service payments, devices and accessories is also posted in both English and Spanish in the store. For further convenience, the Device return policy is also printed on both the front and back of the sales receipt.
The Authorized Retailer was unwilling to refund the activation fee since this is a valid store fee which is non-refundable. Activation fees/upgrade fees are all part of Cricket Wireless' Authorized Retailers fees. Please see terms at: ***
The Cricket Authorized Retailer has abided by Cricket's return policy and were more than willing to refund what the customer paid for the device. Our service payments, device and accessory refund policies can also be found online at: ***
Cricket Wireless LLC ("Cricket") is committed to customer satisfaction. Part of that commitment is ensuring that any dispute a customer may have is resolved in a fair, effective, and efficient manner. As a courtesy, we have refunded the service portion only. All fees are valid and have been maintained.
We thank Ms. for her communication and trust that this explanation properly addresses her complaint.

We were offered a $100 refund that we still have not received, only after they listened to the in-store audio where they could clearly hear their rep being less than truthful to us. I will accept the $100, but honestly feel that we should receive what we asked for and get a refund of the entire $210. I doubt they would offer a partial refund if they did not have sufficient evidence of their employees misconduct.

Dear Sir/Madam,
This correspondence is in reference to a rebuttal to the answer provided to Ms.. In the rebuttal, Ms. feels that by Cricket Wireless offering to refund the $100 service, Cricket is admitting guilt and would like for us to provide the full refund. Ms. wants the remaining $108 in fees to be refunded.
As explained in the original complaint, The Cricket Authorized Retailer provided a $151.17 refund for the device as part of the Cricket Refund Policy. Ms. returned her devices within the 7 day return period. Per our printed and provided Terms and Conditions, there are no refunds on service, accessories and any store applicable fees. Please see www.cricketwireless.com/terms.
Cricket Wireless LLC ("Cricket") directly sent Ms. a check ending in 9823 for $100 on January 15, 2018 to the address confirmed by Ms. when she spoke with Cricket Corporate Manager, Damaris. We will repeat that this was a courtesy, and were not admitting fault in any way. All remaining fees of $108 are valid and have been maintained.
We thank Ms. for her communication and trust that this explanation properly addresses her complaint.

Re: ***
Dear Sir/Madam,
This correspondence is in reference to a complaint filed by Ms.. In this complaint, Ms. states that her account was cancelled due to an error by a Cricket Wireless representative. Ms. requested that we rectify the issue and provide her with a credit for the inconvenience.
Upon further research, we have uncovered that on December 29, 2017, Ms. had attempted to use a different device that was listed on the National Blacklist, which led her account to be suspended. She inquired about removing the suspension, but due to a system error, the account was cancelled.
We spoke with Ms. on January 5, 2017 about her complaint. We have notified her that the issue has been resolved, and her service is active. We have also informed Ms. that Cricket Wireless has agreed to make an exception, and provided her with a onetime service credit.
We apologized to Ms. for any inconvenience she may have felt. We thank Ms. for her communication and trust that this explanation properly addresses her complaint.
