  I have a phone that was purchased and paid for prior to going to Cricket wireless. The phone has been with Cricket for 4 years. I am trying to go to a different provider and they have locked my phone. They claim they have not and claim **** and Apple have locked it. **** and Apple have confirmed they do not have a lock on it and on the settings of the phone it clearly says that it is locked by Cricket. Cricket claims they cannot remove the lock that they have put on my phone. So I am being forced to stay with them as a cellphone provider unless I buy a new phone. Since they locked my phone and cannot unlock it, I asked for replacement and they said they cannot do it. They offered to sell me a new phone, but it will again be locked to Cricket. They are infringing on my rights to go to any provider I want to by locking my phone and forcing me to stay with them or I have to buy a new phone.

  Dear **********
  
  This correspondence is in response to a complaint filed by *************************. In her complaint, ************** stated that she purchased a phone prior to going to Cricket Wireless, and it has been with Cricket Wireless for four years. She explains she is trying to switch to a different provider, but her phone is locked, and Cricket Wireless claims they did not lock it. They claim that AT&T and Apple have locked the device. AT&T and Apple have confirmed they do not have a lock on it, and the phone settings clearly state that it is locked to Cricket Wireless. She adds that she is being forced to stay with Cricket Wireless as her provider unless she purchases a new device. ********************** has offered to sell her a new device, but it will also be locked to the Cricket Wireless network. ************* feels that her rights to choose any provider are being infringed.
  
  We contacted ************** on August 19, 2024, to discuss her complaint. After reviewing the **** number provided,we found that her device is not a ********************** device. We explained to her that we are unable to complete the unlock request as it is not locked to the Cricket Wireless network. We informed her that only the original carrier can remove the *** card restrictions on her device.
  
  We assisted ************** with submitting an unlock request to AT&T, which is the original carrier of her device. On August 21, 2024, we advised her that AT&T had confirmed that her device was successfully unlocked, and we recommended her to restart her device to test services with a non-Cricket Wireless *** card. ************** confirmed she was satisfied with the resolution.

  Dear **********
  
  This correspondence is in response to a complaint filed by ***************************. In her complaint, ************** states that she paid for a BridgePay at a Cricket Wireless authorized retail store, which extended her services until August 9, 2024. She contacted Cricket Wireless customer care on August 8, 2024, and attempted to make the remainder of her payment but the representative informed her that it was not going through and disconnected the call. Later, she received an alert from her bank that a $25 payment was debited from her account, and on August 10, 2024, she woke up to find that her services were disconnected. She adds that Cricket Wireless did not restore her service and was informed that she owed $40. ************** is requesting a resolution to her issue.

  Dear ********************** correspondence is in response to a complaint filed by *************************. In her complaint, **************** reports that she contacted Cricket Wireless customer service reporting ongoing overcharges and loss of service during the ***** tornado in *********, ***** in July. She was promised a same-day credit of $5 but had to call back the next day for a $22 credit. However, when she called back, she was told that no information was seen about such credit. She also states that in May, her card was charged for $80 without her authorization, but they advised her there is no record about it.A customer service representative promised to listen to the recorded call and call her back as a follow-up, but she did not receive any return call. When she called again, the representative said that he did not see any information on file. Lastly, she reports that her personal information was hacked. **************** is requesting a resolution to his issue.
  
  We contacted **************** on August *******, to discuss her complaint. After reviewing her account, we advised her that although there is an interaction on her account, confirming that she reported network issues and, the $5 credit was applied, a callback was offered,there is no record of a $22 credit being promised. We assured her that we would open an internal investigation with our leadership team on her account including the interactions she reported with managers and representatives to take appropriate action. A one-time courtesy credit was applied to her account.
  
  We advised her that there is no record in her account of an $80 payment being processed in May, we offered assistance to research her payment using her card information, but she refused and mentioned she will check it with her bank and reach back to us if additional assistance is needed. She reported that she is still having network issues; therefore, we troubleshooted her device, advised her to test the service and share with us the outcome reached. Lastly, she informed us that she received an email reporting that her personal information was fraudulently accessed but is not sure if it is coming from Cricket Wireless. After reviewing such email, we confirmed that it came from another company and not Cricket Wireless.
  
  
  On August 23, 2024, we activated a new SIM card with her number, and she informed us that by August 26, 2024, she would be able to swap her SIM card to a different device to confirm connectivity improvement.
  
  On August 28, 2024, she confirmed that her service is working as expected, and no additional assistance is needed from Cricket Wireless.

  Starting at or around June 21, 2024 I was having connectivity issues with my wireless phone. I would lose all service including calls, text and internet up to 20 times per day. This continued until mid July. I contaced Cricket wireless atleast five times through online chat and phone to address the issue. They kept telling me there were cell tower issues in my area that were being worked on. I called on July 13th to inquire about a credit for loss of service. They said they were still working on the cell towers and I might experience more outages so I would have to wait until the outages resolved to get the proper credit. I called up today, August 9th to again ask about the credit. The agent, ******, said that they only acknowledg three days of outages and I'm not entitled to a credit. I believe I'm entitled to atleast a $15 credit for having three weeks of sporadic outages where I had no service.

  Cricket is telling us that a device we have had for 2 years is suddenly blacklisted (reported as lost or stolen). They state it was not added by them, and therefore can do nothing about it, but will be deactivating the device tonight. The ***** ***************, is not listed as blacklisted from other carriers ********* T-Mobile, ************ etc), and is able to be activated on those other carriers without issue. Cricket will not give us any other information, such as who blacklisted it, or when. No other carriers checked have it listed as blacklisted. We have no way to resolve this other than switch carriers, which we did not want to do, but apparently must now consider. I believe someone may have listed it accidentally, and other carriers haven't been updated yet, but Cricket is offering no solutions or service for this device. ******************** told us to contact *******, who is unable to do anything to assist, as they did not add it, and confirmed it is not blacklisted. I have no idea who may of, but at this moment, only Cricket is even saying it's blacklisted. This may be an internal technical support issue, but Cricket refused to transfer us to technical support for further assistance.

  I recently brought a phone from cricket wireless. This phone cost me about $280 no more than a couple of weeks about a month my phone was having a factory problem nothing that I did to create this problem. I had just paid my cell phone bill and cricket failed to tell me that if I sent them my phone in the mail when they asked me to that I would need to put in a code and have to have that device. I now have to go multiple days again without a phone. This has caused me to be in trouble with my school due to not being able to log in. This has caused me physical crisis, I have been failed and neglected by cricket . I simply just asked for 2 months of Bill compensation in return. I have had to pay for ****** back and forth because of the phone to and from the cricket store. I have had the purchase another phone because I was told by an agent that they give loaner phones just to get there after spending my money on a **** to find out they actually don't give out loaner phones anymore. This company false advertise on many levels. I am seeking to pursue legal and not because of the money, but just to bring awareness that this company is scamming small people. I purchased a brand new phone and they sent me a used scratched refurbished phone. This whole experience has been unacceptable . I have cried my eyes out due to everything that this has caused me. I explained this to the agents, they were unbothered and almost seemed annoyed at my issue. I literally have nowhere to turn when it comes to this issue right now but social media and legal. This is my first step to getting some justice with this case.

  I am rejecting this response because:

  They have tracked my credit card number and know who owns this account. 
  They state the company policy is to do nothing at this point. 
  They are unwilling to return my lost monies and pay for the over draft fee I was charged.
  They are not willing to give me the name of the owner of the account, therefore they are protecting criminals as this is a case of fraud.

  cricket wireless refuses to contact their customer or disrupt their ********************** service stating thats not their policy.

  Cricket wireless refuses to refund any and all monies to me stating again thats not their policy 

  I am working with my bank to resolve this, but they keep directing me to Cricket Wireless. I have filed a police report and I have opened a claim with the Maine attorney *************** My next course will be a TV consumer reporter to shed light on the companys practices.

  ive lost ****** to this company for an account that is not mine! 
  

  My last conversation with ******** last evening was not at all productive. When I asked to speak to her boss I was told this is as far as this will go. 
  My parting words were to not contact me again except to as for my mailing address to send me a check.

   

  
  
  Sincerely,

  Dear **********
  
  This correspondence is in response to a complaint filed by ******************************************. In his complaint, *************** asserts that he purchased an iPhone 15 Pro Max from Cricket Wireless,which is locked. He spoke to Cricket Wireless customer care representatives to resolve the issue, and they argued that Cricket Wireless does not have his wireless device on their block list. Cricket Wireless argued that ******* Wireless blocklisted his device and they would need to remove it from their block list.
  
  We contacted **************** on August ******, to discuss his complaint. After reviewing his account and completing an in-depth investigation, we discovered that his device had been blocklisted for lost/stolen by ******* Wireless. We confirmed that since the device was not added to the blocklist from Cricket Wireless, we cannot remove it from the blocklist. The device must be removed by the carrier that added it and recommended that he contact ******* Wireless. **************** confirmed that he would contact them for further assistance, and we would follow up on his case.
  
  On August 12, 2024, **************** contacted us and confirmed that ******* Wireless removed his device from the blocklist,we advised him to allow 24 to 72 hours before attempting to activate it to his Cricket Wireless account.
  
  On August 14, 2024, we contacted *************** and confirmed his device was activated. We applied a courtesy credit to his account for his inconvenience.

  I brought a Flip phone from Cricket 2 months ago. I put a warranty on it. Two weeks ago the screen went black. I have called the service department several times and you can not hear them they,they will not turn up there phones to let you hear them. I called from my friend car phone and could hear them. I tried to get me switched to warranty department and all they did was hung up on me. I'm sick and tired of this bull sh$$.l have never missed a payment l have never had this type of problem before. I did not paid my phone bill for July since my phone went off. I will paid it but l don't want to have any thing else to do with Cricket. I brought this phone and placed a warranty on it and now I can't get my phone replacement. I feel like they are treating me bad and I'm sick of it. You have to talk to people you can't understand. It sad. Please help me if you can.
