    Subject: Complaint Regarding Unauthorized Benefit Transfer by Unity Wireless Dear Better Business Bureau,I am writing to bring to your attention a concerning issue I have experienced with Unity Wireless regarding the unauthorized transfer of my ACP benefit. At the end of January 2024, I made the decision to move my benefit from Qlink to another provider. Upon visiting the Unity Wireless website, they initiated a benefit transfer without my consent. As a result, I was left without service for a week until I was able to successfully transfer my benefit to ATT on February 2.To my dismay, on February 9, Unity Wireless once again initiated another benefit transfer without any prior communication or authorization from me. Despite my repeated attempts over the past few weeks to rectify this situation, I have been unable to resolve the issue. Adding to the frustration, Unity Wireless has failed to send me a SIM card, leaving me without any service due to their actions.This ongoing ordeal has caused significant inconvenience and disruption to my daily life, and I am deeply dissatisfied with the lack of resolution from Unity Wireless. I believe that their actions not only violate my rights as a consumer but also demonstrate a disregard for ethical business practices.I kindly request your assistance in addressing this matter and seeking a prompt resolution from Unity Wireless. Your intervention in this situation would be greatly appreciated as I strive to regain the service that I am entitled to. The phone number for the service that was switched without authorization is ************ Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response and assistance in resolving this issue.Sincerely,***************************

    Hello!

     

    We apologize that you have been experiencing issues with your account being transferred into our system. We do not automatically re-enroll any consumers without their permission. Upon checking your account it is deactivated and there will be no transfer in unless it is specifically requested. You may reach out to your new provider if you would like to stay with them and that should resolve this issue.

    It that is not right. Both the national Fair buyer desk and the *** support desk confirm that unity wireless has my information and has my service and is taking money for my service but not providing me service cuz I don't even have a SIM card. So how are they getting paid my money and then not giving me service this has happened for a couple months in a row now and they need to rectify this every time I call the 800 number they list I can't get through to anybody it just says the voicemail recording and then says goodbye

    I canceled my Unity Wireless ACP lifeline service. I got confirmation that it was canceled then they transferred it back without my permission. I transferred it out of unity again they transferred it back without my permission. I sent them an email and a message through their site to stop transferring my service back to Unity Wireless without my permission. They did it again. So this is three times Unity Wireless has transferred my ACP lifeline benefits back to them without my consent. I do not want Unity Wireless for my service provider. I have tried to make this clear to them. They keep transferring my service back to them without my permission.

    My service is suppose to be free text call and unlimited data for a year. Plus a new phone. Phone was NOT NEW My phone service DOESNT WORK. I live on oxygen at home. I need phone service. I AM CURRANTLY IN THE HOSPITAL AND COULDNT EVEN CALL MYSELF *** ABMULANCE. My phone number was issued from ******** instead of ******** where I live. Ask for It to be changed, no response no action, this makes me have NO SERVICE HOME OR HALF PLACES I NEED BE. The phone they sent is garbage. Lower than bottom of the barrel. It is useless basicly. Nobody ever answers when trying to contact about issues or problems. And I have my service for less than a month and they are already sending emails that my service may be closed. EVEN MY FREE "DATA" DOESNT WORK. I FEEL THIS COMPANY IS A SCAM AND IT IS TAKIN ADVANTAGE OF LOW INCOME PEOPLE.

    Every other day this company switches my acp program to them without my permission and I have literally done everything humanly possible to stop them from switching my service. I have never had service with unitywireless and my identity was stolen they know this and still continue to steal my benefits so I am stuck with the bill and I'm not sure if it is legal that they keep doing this and I'm being charged for services while they both get paid by acp and it's probably why the program is bankrupt

    Unity wireless keeps changing my provider from spectrum to unity wireless and I don't want them to do that. Unity wireless has done that about 4 times and I'm fed up with it. I am keeping Spectrum. I don't want unity wireless service at all. I had gotten a free tablet from Unity wireless and now they keep changing my provider.

    Hello. The company, Unity Wireless, that falsely enrolled me and made false claims for my ACP credit has re-enrolled me without permission of any kind three times. I was browsing about device credit eligibility with my ACP. On Unity Wireless, I pushed and filled out information for checking eligibility. Afterwards, it stated my account was created and my order was successful and placed. I did not order anything nor start a service or create account. This was on February 3rd 2024. I immediately attempted to contact them via phone, their online contact system, and email to cancel the order, close account, and remove their claim on my ACP credit.For Unity Wireless, the account is under ************************* it has the enrollment id of ***********, and it states I have a plan of Unity ************** 3 and a tablet will be shipped. I have been trying to contact Unity Wireless through their websites support message form, through phone, and through email since the moment it created an account and an order that I did not authorize nor want. I have informed them multiple times that I do not want any service or device from them, I do not want an account, and they are not to be associated or charging my ACP. As such I have sent them messages and called to cancel any order and service, unenroll me for an account or service or from their ACP system, and to close my account.I had gotten official confirmation (on Feb. 8th) from Unity Wireless that my account was un-enrolled, unactivated, and order cancelled as well as account closed once I sent a formal complaint to ACP. However now I received an email again stating enrollment and an order being shipped on February 16 2023. I contacted them again on Feb. 16th and got confirmation again (Feb. 17th) that everything was cancelled and closed..Unity Wireless has falsely created an account, placed orders, and claimed my ACP costing me my ACP credit from my internet. They have purposely went against my direct instructions.
