I purchased an iPhone 14 Pro, and six months of service mint told me I would get an additional six months of service when I port my number in. I had a problem when I went to go activate the phone it would say Sim card not supported so I decided to send the phone back and get a refund just today I receive the phone back from mint telling me that it had a pass code on it, so I guess they got it unlocked and was able to get it up and running to be able to get the passcode to display. At this point I would like to keep the phone and my service plan that I pay for So that will be total of 12 months of service. My order number with Mint Mobile is MT ******* customer service told me that I need a new ACT code to get it up and going please make it right and get me up and going. Thats all I asked for. Thank you mint mobile.Business Response

I have had Mint Mobile service for about 4 months. For the first 3 months the service was satisfactory. However, some change was made 3 months ago and now my service is terrible, that is, every call fades in and out, to the extent that the phone is almost unusable. I've called them several times, followed their procedures for correcting the problem, and nothing helps. I paid for 3 months of service one month ago. I want a refund.Business Response

I ordered a 90 day plan from ********** on 9/20/2022 after checking that it had quality service in my area. I received the *** card and activated the service on 9/24/2022. I noticed I had no service at my home and called into etc support several times and was told to "reset" my phone. On Tuesday 9/26/2022 I left ** because of hurricane *** and returned the following Monday and still had no service at my home (which was not effected by the hurricane). I called ********** several times and finally on 10/5 I ordered a new *** card from ******** I called several times and chatted on line with tech to get a refund. Was told on Friday 10/14/2022 I would receive a refund for no service just to get a email the next day saying the opposite. I have gone back and forth with emails and now I am getting no response from them at all. My payment was$83.18 and my service had never worked at my home.Business Response

BBBI had reached out to you to help me with this issue caused by MINT ***** lying to me about refunding my prepayment of three months service. I had chatted with them on line many times and called then three times during the first week of service (9/28/2022) when after switching to tier service never worked at my home. Hurricane *** came the weekend and I left town. When I got back10/5/2022 I cancelled my service with MINT ***** and transferred to Verizon. I was told when I cancelled my service that I would receive a full refund and they apologized for telling me the service would work in my area. The next day I got a email saying the opposite.Hello ******* ,
Thank you for contacting Mint Mobile, my name is **** and I'll be more than happy to assist you today!
We're sorry to hear that you were not able to use the service as you have expected. Upon further review, we find that we are unable to process a refund since the services are outside of the return policy. Therefore your request has been denied.

We truly apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you.
Have a great day!

I need explanation on why I can't login to my mint mobile account and if my account was terminated for whatever reason I'd like to know that so I can move on.Other than that, my sim card is still active, and I was trying to see how many months I have left until next time that will need to be paid.Instead, I get a sarcastic rude customer service response through their website. I don't like the fact my card is still intact with their company, and I'd like my account to just be closed all around and refunded if that's the case. Very sketchy coming from a company co-owned by *************************.Business Response

This company has standards that they do not meet. They have a program that states if you refer a friend you and the friend will receive a credit. They do not give the credit most of the time and when you call in regards to the issue they state the refer a friend link was not used and done correctly. You can be blue in the face telling them you did it correctly so this would not happen yet again and they still do not honor you. Ethics is huge and this company does not show them.Business Response
