Bad and Awful

Posted on: February 12th, 2014 by Lambat Shabal

Hi everyone I first used Cricket back in 2010 about 2to 3 months then I dropped them due to rude CUTOMER SERVICE. Last year2013 I seen them advertising 4G LTE!?!?! Wow I thoughts that they may have improved after all few stars in holywood keep singing Cricket half price of Verizon and ATT ! Huh I decided to give them another try. I purchased a phone on credit financed by FORTIVA at 30% interest. I didn't mind about as I needed a phone but to only be disapointed at the receipt of the 4G LTE hahaha. It was just 3G with fading signal all the city I moved WEST.NORTH,SOUTH,AND EAST of the city looking for signal but to avail. after 24 hours is now am just sending their nice looking toy called Samsung GalaxyS4. Now am telling anyone who may be thinking of joining this sweet cricket to rethink and ask prior to purchase the phone or just try to find out from friends try using their hones in your city and see what you get before. About CSR on the phone early morning I spoke to some guy who speak like indian but honestly despite accent he was nice the problem he is working for wrong guy Cricket.

Custormer service is pretty awful

Posted on: January 17th, 2014 by D Greene

I enrolled in Automatic Bill Pay and did not receive the discount for enrollment. I called several times about this. I was given inconsistent stories, I spoke to supervisors who promised to look into it and get back to me and didn't. It took months to get it sorted out and that only happened inadvertently when I had to update my credit card information. I wouldn't bother writing a review of the service if they hadn't proven to be deliberately obtuse and misleading, incompetent, and useless. Overall, the lying was particularly annoying. I had problems with T-mobile and I believe that this might be common to all cell phone companies, but Cricket seems more dishonest than most.

Incompetent Sales & Costomer Service Representatives

Posted on: December 27th, 2013 by Melissa Yahnke

The customer service at Cricket is horrendous and the cheap cell phone service they provide it 100% reflected in their incompetent employees--after being lied to by one female representative (with an irritating, unintelligible Indian accent no less) in web sales, and then proceeding to get the run around while being transferred from department to the next for 6+ hours I finally let them have it and cancelled my account altogether.

My Caller Id still hasn't been updated!

Posted on: December 10th, 2013 by Heather Park

My husband put our family on their big family plan. Back in July 2013. However I have yet to have my call Id come up as my name. They claim it is a 3rd party issue. REally!!!! so every time I call someone, not my name but other persons name comes up, and it's male. It's sad we pay so much a month for service and for a persons name that is really personal they can't change the Caller Id in their system. Well sadly they won't bother with it now because they claim it is out of their hands. I'm really dissapointed in my cellphone service. It would be nice for once to get real problems resolved with someone local instead of calling another country.

Worst Mistake EVER!!!!!

Posted on: November 12th, 2013 by Stephanie Burklow

My husband and I decided to get cricket on the 23rd of October. WORST MISTAKE EVER! My husband and I both got semi pricey phones and were excited to get something more than $30 Wal-Mart phones. BAD IDEA! When we got the phones we had to pay for the first month of service as well as the first payment for buying the phones. The pricing was not terrible, however they want the payments every other week and they take it out of your account WITHOUT telling you! The idiot girl that was helping us purchase the phones kept taking so much that her session kept signing out so she has to sign back in and start all over again numerous times. Then she couldn't get the automatic bill pay (for the phone bill, not the payment for buying the phones) set up because she was doing an account inquiry, not a pre-authorization, and she was entering the wrong zip code. Two weeks later when the phone payment (for buying the phones) was due I went into the store to make the payment, and this time finally got the automatic bill pay set up (phone bill only). Today I looked at my bank account and saw that they had double dipped into my bank account! I went back to the store that we bought the phones from and tried to get the issue resolved only to find out that the people financing my phone were a completely different company and that there was nothing they could do about the money that was taken from my account. Ok, I can understand that. However when I asked the manager why this was the case, and why we were not told about this he started to argue with me and yelled at me. This problem escalated so much that we decided we did not want the phones any more. The manager made excuse after excuse as to why he could not return the phone. He even called my husband a LIAR!!! He said over and over again that we were not being honest. Once he did decide that he was going to refund the phones he told us that he was only going to refund $40!!! We paid $211.88!!!!!! When asked why he was going to refund so little he said it was because that store was not a corporate store. We were lied to, mistreated, yelled at, and argued with! They did not tell us that the payment for buying the phones was going to come out of our account automatically and when we wanted answers they were rude as hell!!! DO NOT GO TO CRICKET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Terrible service

Posted on: October 28th, 2013 by Ben Wang

I like the idea of no contract, but when the internet on your phone doesn't work, well why pay for it. And im not making this up, my internet will never connect. Even to get into my account on my phone, I had to get it on wifi. Just a heads up.

Customer Service is nonexistent and they constantly demand your payment is overdue when it isn't.

Posted on: October 26th, 2013 by Arizona Mildman

Cricket payment had to be done by phone on 10-26-2013 because the website wouldn't process my payment and kept telling me to enter an exact amount after my checking the amount due over and over. When I got frustrated and tried to call, my phone service was cut off. My due date, according to the website previously was 10-28-2013. This is the same thing that happens periodically when someone is demanding payment stating that my payment is overdue when it isn't. Cricket shanghais your payment early by cutting off your phone service and forcing you to pay or not be able to use your phone, even when you attempt to make payment by the website, it refuses it and the website gives you inaccurate error messages but the due date has not even arrived. When you try to call the store that cut your service off early they won't answer the phone and then your phone service gets suspended. If this happens to you, don't bother to make a payment, drive to the store and shove the phone up the lead salesman's ass because he is likely the asshole who cut your phone service off early trying to demand payment that isn't due.
