      Around July 1, 2024 I purchased a new phone from the Cricket wireless located on *********************. When I got the phone home I noticed it was not working correctly and would drop my call. Would not allow me to dial out, navigation would not work and many other issue. I first felt that it was just a need for me to understand a new phone. I later realized that the was a crawl message at the bottom of the phone that stayed that the device was owned by my organization. I took the phone back to the store in order to get this fixed. I was told by the store manager that there was nothing wrong the phone and that the message had to be related to my work email. This is person phone that I purchased and not related to work. I noticed the it dep of my work who stated that there was no way that the work email was effecting the phone. I smashed to speak to the regional manager who told me to call customer service. I did that and then after sitting on hold for an hour I got the warrantee **** who ended up disconnecting my call. At this point I was angry but not rude or yelling. I went back to the store for the 3 Rd time to talk to the manager to attempt to resolve this and get a working phone. I was standing in line a told another customer what bad customer service I had with this and the manager yelled at me and kicked me out of the store. Area manager offered no assistance either. Manager name is ******* and Regional manager is *******. My phone still does not work and I'm out 350$. I looked up on line and there is a known issue with this devise. I'm requesting that I be reimbursed the cost of the phone. I'm going elsewhere for phone service due to the extremely poor customer service

      Dear ********** ************ correspondence is in response to a complaint filed by ***************************. In her complaint, she stated that she has purchased a phone that has been replaced three times, going on four, due to a manufacturer defect. She mentioned that she was made to pay for a refurbished used phone and has tried over ten different resolutions between sales, warranty, and regular departments. Despite her efforts, she was informed that the same phone, which is about to blow up, will be resent to her.

      We contacted ****************** on July 29, 2024, to discuss her complaint. After reviewing her account, we found that she had made an insurance claim due to the manufacturer issues that her device had. We explained to her that when processing an insurance claim for her device, a non-refundable deductible is required. More information about the insurance claims can be found at: *******************************************************************************
      ****************** confirmed that she purchased a new device as the replacement phones she received and experienced the same manufacturer issues with the new device.

      On January 4th of 2024. I purchased a new cricket phone. It was a ******** stylus 5g 2023 phone. Few days later when it arrived in the mail. It was activated. This has been the same phone I have used. I have no switched phones. Today is July 17th. Still using that phone only. So I wanted to unlock my phone. Told I was not allowed to because I didn't meet the 6 months requirement. When in fact I have. Beginning of January to middle of July. Is 6 months. Well come to find out, they have someone else's imei on my account. Which is a whole other phone. Same it was the same model of the cricket one I purchased. Come to find out. It was the metro PC moto g stylus 2023 I purchased. Which that phone was sold. A week or two after having it. It was unlocked as well. I never used it on cricket. All I did was put the sim card in it. Prior to selling it. To make sure it worked with cricket. Due to the lady who was buying it wanted to use it with cricket. She bought it and it's been in her possession not mine. So why it was even on my cricket account. I don't know why. That metro phone was sold. On my account they have her imei though on my account and her phone linked to it. When the only one on it , should be the ******** I bought from cricket. So we have two issues, A phone is on my cricket account that I never used on it , that isn't in my possession it was sold. And my phone should be unlocked and they won't.

      Dear Sir/*****,  

      This correspondence is in response to a complaint filed by ***************************. In her complaint, ****************** states that on January 4,2024, she purchased a ******** Stylus 5G 2023 from Cricket Wireless. She asserts that she has been using the same phone since then and has not switched to any other device. However, when she tried to unlock the phone after six months, Cricket Wireless denied the request, stating that the device did not meet the six-month requirement. Upon further investigation, it was discovered that a different **** was linked to her account, which was a Metro PC ************* 2023 that she had sold to another person. ****************** adds that this phone was never used with Cricket Wireless, and she only used it on her account to ensure that the device worked with ********************** before selling it.Therefore, Ms. ******** account should only have the **** of the ******** Stylus 5G 2023 purchased from Cricket Wireless. She is requesting assistance to unlock her phone.


      We contacted ****************** on July 23, 2024, to discuss her complaint. After reviewing her account and **** information, we confirmed that her Cricket Wireless device was not associated with her account as it was still associated as a BYOP (bring your own phone) device.We updated her account **** to her ******** Stylus 5G 2023 and shared with ***************** that would perform an internal investigation to verify the tenure of activation of her device.


      On August 5, 2024, we confirmed to ****************** that her device does meet the six-month usage requirement, therefore, we provided her with the steps to unlock her device through the ********************** app. She confirmed that the device was successfully unlocked and expressed satisfaction with the resolution we provided.

      My identity was stolen. My phone line was taken over and cricket allowed changes to be made to the account. Last week Wednesday I spent 2 hours in the store for them to file a complaint. The complaint was never filed. I spent another 2 hours on the phone creating a case. Thursday I was told that 3-5 business days things would be resolved. I have called repeatedly and received no communication from them. The person who hacked the accounts name is still on the account. 3 lines were removed from the account and 5 total have been affected. 4 lines have not had access for a total of 7 full days now. I was told I would get a call Monday evening, Tuesday, and Wednesday. I am concerned about my identity. I am also concerned about my credit. Every part of my life has been affected at this point and there is no resolve so far that has happened.

      Dear ********** ************ correspondence is in response to a complaint filed by *************************. In her complaint, she reports that her identity was stolen, her wireless number was taken over, and unauthorized changes were made to her Cricket Wireless account. Despite spending hours in-store and on the phone addressing the issue, a complaint was not filed, and her case remains unresolved. Three lines were removed from her wireless account,affecting a total of five lines, with four lines still inaccessible for seven days. The individual responsible for the breach remains on the account, causing concerns about identity theft and credit implications. ************** is requesting assistance to resolve this issue.

      We attempted to contact ************** on July 18, 19, and 22, 2024, via phone and email, but were unsuccessful. On July 22,2024, she responded to one of our e-mails requesting to be contacted via e-mail.We replied to ************** informing her that before we can open her wireless account to investigate her concerns and share our findings and resolution, we must authenticate her Cricket Wireless account as part of our security and privacy policy. The authentication process can only be completed through a phone conversation, which helps protect her account information and passwords. We did not receive a response from **************.

      We want to assure ************** that we want to assist her with her concerns.

Should ************** still require assistance, she is encouraged to contact *********, Cricket Wireless Office of the President ******** at **************.

      Dear Sir/Madam,  

      This ************** is in response to a complaint filed by *********************. In her complaint,************** shares the details of an incident that occurred at a Cricket Wireless authorized retailer. She reports that on May 31, 2024, she purchased a phone number with Auto Pay; however, the service was suspended before the end of the month. She tried to contact Cricket Wireless care center, but the wait time was long, therefore she decided to go to the authorized retailer to get assistance.She reports that an employee named ***** stated that they could not help her and told her she needed to pay $40 to restore her services. ************** added that she attempted to talk to the manager, but the manager refused to speak to her. She is requesting a resolution to her issue.

      We contacted ************** on July 17, 2024, to discuss her complaint. After reviewing her account, we discovered that her account was suspended for non-payment. ************** confirmed that she was able to process her payment online for $30 and restore her services; however, she felt undervalued as a customer and questioned the need for such treatment when she simply requested assistance from a manager.

      We want to assure ************** that Cricket Wireless takes pride in our customer experience and is committed to providing excellent customer service with every customer interaction. We shared with ************** that we have escalated her experience to our executive leadership team that works directly with this authorized retailers management team and assured her they will investigate further.

      Additionally, we shared with ************** that a courtesy credit was applied to her account.

      On June 15th 2024 I purchased a new IPhone 11 & a plan for $15.00 per month. I paid cash and set up my debit card for future automatic payments of $15.00 per month. My first text from Cricket informed me my payment of $55.00 would be charged the following day. The date of the text was July 12th, the payment to be taken on the 13th. I stopped payment before it was made and went back directly to the store where I made the original purchase. Spoke with ****** who told me they had discontinued that offer on July 12th. My new monthy payment would now be $55.00 not $15.00. Since I found another carrier who will honor their quoted price Cricket has blocked my new phone from being used by myself with a company demonstrating integrity that they lack. I am currently waiting for 6 months to pass in order to use my new phone because ******* decided that $15.00 per mont fees were too low for whatever reason and they chose to change that amount to $55.00. I have included a photo of a store display in Spanish from that store taken on that day I returned, July 14th to adjust the fee back to $15.00. When I showed this to ******, the store rep. she told me it should have been taken down days ago. I bought the plan a month prior to that visit. The store still had the promo still displayed in store as a plan for sale.

      Dear ********** ************ correspondence is in response to a complaint filed by *************************. In his complaint, **************** stated that he purchased a new iPhone 11 and a plan for $15.00 per month on June 15, 2024.However, he received a text from Cricket Wireless on July 12, 2024, stating that his payment of $55.00 would be charged the following day, which was not the plan he agreed to. **************** stopped the payment, he returned to the same store he purchased his phone and plan from, to be told that the $15 plan had been discontinued on July 12th. He was told that his new monthly payment would be $55.00, not $15.00. **************** found another carrier that will honor their quoted price, but Cricket Wireless has blocked his new phone from being used with the new carrier. He has included a photo of a store display in Spanish from that specific store that was taken on July 14, 2024, which shows the promotional offer was still displayed in the store. When he showed this picture to the store representative, she told him it should have been taken down days ago. **************** would like to be refunded the amount paid for the second month of service he was charged for.

      We contacted **************** on July 29,2024, to discuss his complaint. We informed him about the charges found according to the purchase receipt. We found that the $15 plan was not the plan his service was activated with and when he attempted to change to the $15 plan the plan had already expired. We assured him that we would escalate his experience to the Cricket Wireless leadership team which works directly with this store location and management team for further review. We offered to assist him with the refund he requested; however, we explained that he would be required to return the phone to Cricket Wireless. **************** agreed with our recommendation, sent him a return label, and explained the expectations regarding the return process.

      On August 3, 2024, we informed *************** that the package with the iPhone 11 had been successfully returned, we confirmed his mailing address and submitted the refund request. We explained that the refund process takes approximately 7 to 14 business days and he should expect his refund check within that time.

      On July 12, 2024, I went into Cricket to have my services transferred from another company. I spent 5 hours with the agent trying to get this done, to finally be told that it could not be done, but I still would be charged $66. I was not told until the end of this process that there was a no refund policy. My question to them and you is why should I have to paid for a service that I don't have. Is Cricket that pressed for money that they have to take money from a customer in this frivolous manner. This is abusive and not good customer service. I believe I am due a refund since the service I was seeking could not be done. Companies must be stopped from this kind of power grab practice that takes advantage and abuse customers with this inane policy.

      Dear ********** **************** correspondence is in response to a complaint filed by *********************. In his complaint he states that on July 12, 2024, he had a frustrating experience at Cricket Wireless, where he spent 5 hours attempting to transfer services from another carrier, only to be informed that it was not possible but was still charged $66. He expressed dissatisfaction with the no refund policy and questioned the necessity of paying for a service he did not receive, labeling it as poor customer service.********** is requesting a refund.

      We contacted ********** on July 18, 2024, to discuss his complaint. After reviewing the account, we confirmed that he was unable to port his number to Cricket Wireless and could not activate services. We found that no refund was processed previously; therefore,we process a refund. We advised ********** to allow 7-10 business days to receive the check in the mail. He confirmed that he was satisfied with the resolution and had no additional questions regarding this complaint.
