      I chabged mobile phone carriers to Cricket wireless. I went with them because they had month to month service with no long term contract, and they had 5g coverage in my area. But as soon as I got home I had little to no service. After complaining about it the store told me it could be the phone I purchased and they got me to upgrade to an iPhone. So they refunded my original phone and I played **** dollars out right, no discounts. Still no service. Then 5 months and 25 days later I had zero service, so I called customer service and I was informed they had a tower down in my area and that it could be a week to get it back up. Now, not being able to go that long due to health reasons I asked if I could without penalty leave and they said yes, since they prided themselves on no contracts. Then when I went to change my new phone was locked and I couldn't use it for 7 days because they had a 6 month service time with them? That's new but okay, so after a week I tried to unlock it again, but still not able to unlock it, had to wait 5 more days. Here we are a week later and they still will not unlock my phone, now they say I have to come back and activate my service for 5 more days or else pay 30 dollars to unlock it. That is strong arm tactics and is completely unfair. And no one is willing to help me here in the US and the customer service us over seas, I can't even hire a lawyer for that, so they are stealing **** dollars which in itself is grand larceny.Please help.

      I purchased phones and services from cricket wireless at which time the saleswoman told me all the cases And screen protectors We're included in the price...more than one time .. as a new customer I thought well that's really nice and we initially declined because we didn't like any of the cases they had but she insisted and Before we leave she put them on our phones throws away the boxes I never got any explanation or at no time was I told I Was being charged extra I got confused about the price until I got home and looked at my receipt and it said $34 for 1 case 24 for another case $19 for another case $16 for a screen protector She said the phone's didn't come with chargers we'd need 2 chargers 60 more dollars for 2 chargers I didn't even her put in the bag to be honest cause the phone comes with a charging cable all you need is any USB device to charge your phone The point is she explicitly lied multiple times and told me these things were included everything but the 2 chargers that I didn't need because she said the phone does not come with a charger technically true but it came with a wire while she said each and every time the cases and screen protectors were included and they were outrageously priced at $34 $24 $19 $16 dollar she bold face lied numerous times as they receive a small commission for selling these things

      I bought a cell the store on **************** in ** on my way home from work. Started having problems immediately. I work in ******* and live in Houschton so the next day I had off I went to the closest store which is in WINDER to see if they could fix it. They said NOOOOO, this is not working correctly at all, unable to access any of my necessary apps and settings kept reverting back to whatever they wanted too. They said you have to take it TO THE STORE YOU PURCHASED IT AND MAKE THEM GIVE YOU A NEW PHONE. Meanwhile, when I went back to work and stopped on my way home from *******. It appears that in order for them to give me a new phone I only had seven days, THIS WAS THE NINTH DAY. Are you kidding me. I went back to the store well within the time frame not knowing I had to go back to t he original store....what if I moved. I have never heard of such a thing. THEY REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING!!!!!!!!! All I want is my money back....period. I had to go immediately to Metro PCS and actually get a phone that worked. I can not be without a phone in my work. Now they are running me through a bunch of hoops especially since I do not have an account with them any longer. I honestly am not sure WHICH address to choose for this complaint. This is the address of the store I purchased it from *****************************************************************. I Am filing this on behalf of my boyfriend.

      Yes, I filed on his behalf.  He is a heavy equipment operator and not available during the day.  You read the complaint and he was within his 10 day grace ****** but at another store....shouldn't have been a problem.  He lives in ******** and works in *******. The ONLY way to resolve it for him was to get another phone immediately.  He needs his phone to clock in and out of work, contact his supervisors, HE CANNOT BE WITHOUT A PHONE. You wanted him to contact some technical person etc. etc. etc  . He is a working man!  His office is a technical void construction site.  You have in no way provided him with customer service of any kind, "know your customers" The ONLY solution at this point is a REFUND.  This correspondence will be provided to the BBB.

      Dear Sir/Madam,

      This ************** is in response to a rebuttal filed by ***********************. In this complaint, **************** provided new contact information for us to reach out.

      We were able to reach *************************** and have her authenticate Mr. ******* account. She is assisting him regarding his refund request. After researching his account, we agreed to make a one time exception and request their equipment be returned for a refund. Mr. ******* device is no longer within the Crickets return window but agreed to make an exception.

      After speaking with ****************,she explained the device had been dropped and damaged. She also no longer had the original box or accessories. Due to Crickets return requirements, we will no longer be able to have her device returned.

      We explained to **************** on April 17, 2023 that we will no longer be able to request a refund due to the conditions of the device. We would also like to remind her of Crickets Return Requirements which state: The returned device must be in like-new condition with its original contents and packaging to be eligible for a refund of the purchase price or exchange for another device. The return must include the original components, including the device, battery, charger, accessories,documents, and unopened software.

      The full policy can be found at: **********************************************************************************************.

      We respectfully request that this complaint is closed at this time, as we are unable to comply with Mr. ******* request.

      Since the last response from Cricket I have actually found the ORIGINAL PHONE and returned it in the original BOX WITH all that came with it.  I let them  know and have not heard one word form them. I sent the phone back with the original box and everything 4/26/2023 . He said he would track the return and would notify me when they received it and mail a complete refund....I have not heard one word from them since.  I just want all this to be resolved.  I have done everything I can on my part.

      I have been with H32**3430313731323232H before they were bought out by AT&T. They have been dropping their eSim card. Prior to getting my phone out of fraudulent activity, my eSim card was dropped four times and I started getting fraudulent activity on my **** of America card and my phone. All of my accounts were locked up. I had to redo my password several times. I called H32**3430313731323232H corporate about getting out of this phone. I am not happy with the service. I did not file a contract because it was prior to their merger. I have never been delinquent with payments. I have had major fraud, spoofing and malware, someone is messing with me. I don&#**;t believe I should be under a contract. I can&#**;t even get into my account because everything is associated with ******* area code phone number.

      This correspondence is in response to a complaint filed by *************** in the complaint, ********** states that her eSim card was sent to her 4 times, and immediately started to see fraudulent activity on her **** of America credit card and phone. Due to this issue ********** had major fraud, spoofing and malware.

      On March 3, 2023, we contacted ********** to gather more information about her case. ********** explained how insecure she feels since she bought the device at a ********************** Authorized Retailer to request her device to be unlocked. 

      Cricket Wirelesss Device Unlock Policy states: If you have a Cricket phone, it may have been programmed with a lock that prevents it from operating with other compatible wireless networks. Cricket 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:

      The device you want to unlock has been active for at least six months of paid service on that device.
      The device is designed for use on and is locked to Cricket's network.
      The device has not been reported lost or stolen.
      The device is not associated with a fraudulent account.

      To view the full, unlock policy please visit *************************************************************************. Crickets Unlock Policy is part of the terms and conditions of service which customers accept at the time of activation and each month upon renewal of service.

      We researched ************ devices and found that her device is not eligible to be unlocked. Without waiving Crickets Terms and Conditions, , we made an exception and unlocked Ms. ********** device.

      We informed ********** that the unlock process will be completed once the device is activated with the new carriers SIM card.

      I have recently switched service to cricket wireless and purchased the premium plan because the hot spot and the high speed data. I have experienced less then slower data connectivity over 75 percent of the time i have used this provider for the past three months with speeds equivalent to dial up. I have called multiple times a month to customer service who reset the network ask if my phone is up to date restart etc but i believe i am paying for service I am not reciveing as my daughter has had a similar issue of paying for sim cards not recived and refusal for a refund.

      I filed a claim to restore a broken phone. However I was told I couldnt proceed with it because I dont have the right driver license and was discriminated against for not having the proper document. They do however collect every month for insurance on the phone but denied my claimed for a new phone.
