  Unfortunately I have lost trust in this business. I signed up for them in March 2024 paying upfront for a year after being satisfied with the 7 day trial. I then immediately cancelled auto pay and specifically informed agent, ******** ****, who double checked that auto renewal was turned off. Now its April 02, 2025 and I received a bill for $433.82. I called on 04/03 to make a complaint but apparently there was no case ID opened. I called again on 04/08 to follow up to find this out so started a new case ID# ******** with *****. I was informed then that they can not refund me because of their "recent policy about auto renewal." I asked to speak with a manager but apparently none was available. When I asked when did the policy take effect and why was I not notified via email they did not have any answer or proof. I was told to wait for an email stating that auto-renewal on my account was cancelled but a refund could not be provided. Auto-renewal should was not active/shouldn't have been on!I called back same day and spoke with ****** who reassured me that a manager will call be back the same day. No call or email. I called back 04/09 and spoke with Minor who said he saw a note from ****** and that he will call me back later in the day. I asked Minor to speak with a manager and he insisted I wait for ****** to call me back. Its 04/10 and I just called and spoke with ***** who reviewed their notes and found nothing written by ****** and when I asked for a manager he said there was none available and one may call be back today.I hate to complain but this company failed to inform its customers about its "recent" policy change, did not respect that my auto-renewal was inactive anyway, made an unauthorized purchase on my credit card, and continue to refuse to provide me with a manager to speak with. Poor customer service I am disappointed about a good product with poor communication.

  Mr. *********,

  I apologize for the frustration you have experienced. There are some claims in your complaint that are difficult to reconcile. We do have an employee named *** **** here but she never worked for our support team our would have been someone to validate your auto renewal claim. We also don't see any requests to cancel your account prior to it's renewal date. Our terms and conditions have always stated our renewal terms and that our account auto renew so I apologize for that and we will work internally to ensure our agents are giving the correct information in our calls. As an act of good faith we will refund your most recent charge but please understand that this is outside of our contractual agreement that you agreed to with your original purchase. 

  Best regards,

  GoTo

  GoTo billed my debit card for an autorenewal of service on 3/24/25 for $712.83. I didnt want to auto renew. From what I understand, Massachusetts requires companies to provide notices to customers of a an auto renewal. This company wants $712.83 for the entire year of 2025 until 3/24/26 for service that is not needed, essentially making this "free money"

  Mr. ***,

  We apologize that you didn't receive our renewal notice for your account. As a good faith effort we have canceled your account back to your renewal date and you should see all funds in your account in 5-10 business days.

  I have documentation that I transferred out my phone numbers from Grasshopper LLC, the subsidiary of GoTo Technologies, however they kept my account open and continued to charge me for months for an empty account. They are using these charges as an excuse to keep my account, perhaps so that they can apply more false charges. They do not want their fraud and tendency towards bogus charges to be exposed on this platform.

Please add your rejection comments below; if you do not provide any details, your complaint will be closed as Answered. 

  My concerns have moved into the over $100 I was charged in July 2022 even though I ported out my all phone numbers from Grasshopper LLC the month before June 2022. I have documentation of these ports also. GoTo claims that I would need to close my account to avoid these charges. But I've been trying to close my other Grasshopper LLC account for over three years and it remains open without my consent.

  Ms. *****,

  I show now active accounts and your mention of a charge from nearly three years ago doesn't match with your original inquiry. I don't see any active accounts in your name. Our team would be happy to help you, but you would need to call in and verify your identity to ensure the integrity of the request, if there is an open account you are paying for. We are following through on your data deletion request from your original complaint.

  Ms. *****,

  I think I see why you are frustrated now. The issue is that you did not formally request to cancel your account until a month after you had ported your numbers from your GoTo account. We do not cancel accounts unless it is at the explicit request of our customers. Many customers choose to change phone numbers on their accounts and we require proper identification as an account owner to protect our customers from fraud. As was stated in multiple emails to you with links to our terms of service, you must contact us and formally request cancellation 30 days before renewal otherwise the account is renewed per the terms you agreed to during your purchase. 

  Best regards,

  Yes, I'm frustrated because even after the numbers were obviously ported, you all continued to charge me for an empty account. That is not account security, that is fraud.

  I signed up for this service last night online through the 7 day free trial but they told me I did not the website I confusing, I only put my card in to hold for the upcoming payment in 7 days if I decided to keep it but they charged my card this morning I still have 6 days and I don;t like it I asked to cancel and they said sorry no refunds you clicked the wrong button, that is like stealing when your entire website says 7 day free trial, feels like a scam to **** want this account closed because it has not been used and a full refund and to be removed from any of their calling lists and affiliates.

  We requested a refund for an auto-renewal that happened on 3/20/2025. GoTo Technologies refuses to refund us. They reference back to their terms an conditions. The contact person they have listed has not been an employee with our practice since 2020. Our business has new ownership as of August 2020. We were not properly notified that an auto renewal would happen. Based on Minnesota's new consumer protection law that took effect in January 2025 GoTo Technologies was not clear and conspicuous with their renewal notice, the did not provide an easy cancelation option and they did not send an annual reminder of renewal before charging us. I spoke with ****** a team manager that refused our refund.

  In mid-February, I mailed a cancellation letter to Grasshopper (DBA GoTo Technologies USA, LLC) stating that I no longer needed or used their VOIP business phone service. I was billed $257.26 for a service I cancelled by letter. I mailed the letter after I was on hold for at least 35 minutes trying to cancel by phone. At least once prior to that, I stated that I would be cancelling the service since I had difficulties registering for the governments 10DLC (SMS) business texting capabilities. I was out $30.00 after that; therefore, Grasshopper owes me $287.26. I had stated that I am a disabled veteran/small business owner uses Grasshopper to communicate with friends related to the non-profit portion of my business. I have included a receipt, the cancellation letter, and reviews from other dissatisfied customers. I have also included materials from other VOIP providers stating that 10DLC (SMS) text registration exists for Sole Proprietor businesses and that such businesses do not require a website or social media page if they do not have an established online presence. Grasshopper did not follow the federal guidelines when it stated that I needed a website/social media page. Grasshopper did not follow Massachusetts Consumer Protection Law in that a business fails to tell a customer relevant information about its service or is misleading in any way. If I am I not promptly refunded, I will file a lawsuit against Grasshopper (GoTo) and could be awarded triple damages per the enclosed documentation. I am requesting a refund immediately; I will file a complaint with the *** if I am not refunded my money in the amount of $. Grasshopper (DBA GoTo) has been known to use AI bots for its customer service. Not answering a phone call after a customer waits for ***** minutes is unacceptable and another reason for me to be refunded. I also find it interesting that a webpage from Grasshopper states that they do not offer support to Sole Proprietors, yet the company issue a refund.

  I purchased a number from grasshopper. After they verified the number I called it twice to make sure it was working and it was working. I went on to purchase business card, T shirts, and printed the number on both sides of my business truck. I also registered the number with my DOT number, ****, business account, my insurance. Most things were all paid for. I received a phone call from a friend of mine that told me the number that was not working. When I contacted grasshopper I was told that nothing can be done to get me the number I paid for and its not available. I didnt receive a letter in the mail, an email nor a call to prevent me from wasting my money and time on a number that was available when I made the purchase but was taken back with no explanation or anything.

  On February 15, 2025, we were charged $509.43 to our credit card that was previously on file with GoTo; We had removed the card and turned of Auto-Pay when we disputed the charges and asked that GoTo cancel our contract with them on January 3, 2025. We have repeatedly asked that we be released from the contract without prejudice or penalty because GoTo had breached the contract on several occasions, causing us to discontinue use of their services and finding another VoIP provider in December of 2024. GoTo then, without authorization, charged our credit card without our consent.

  Ms. ********,

  Thank you for giving us the opportunity to address your concerns regarding your contract and the issues you have experienced with *** services. At GoTo the satisfaction and success of our customers are of the utmost importance and we always aim to support our customers as best we can. 
  
  We understand your frustration and would like to provide clarity and assistance regarding the situation, specifically with respect to recent industry changes that may have impacted their *** capabilities. 
  
  A new requirement has been implemented for 10-Digit Long Code messaging. 10DLC is a framework introduced by the telecommunications industry to improve the reliability, security, and trustworthiness of messages sent via ***. This system is designed to reduce spam messaging and improve deliverability for legitimate business communications. 
  
  The implementation of 10DLC has brought about new requirements for businesses that send *** messages, including brand and campaign registration. These measures ensure that businesses using *** are verified and that messaging is aligned with carrier requirements, ultimately resulting in a better experience for consumers.  It appears that your issues with *** functionality are tied to the transition to 10DLC and the need for campaign and brand registration. While these changes have been an industry-wide adjustment, we recognize that they may be unfamiliar and, at times, challenging to navigate. 
  
  Please rest assured that it is not our intention to prevent you from utilizing *** services or to impose unnecessary burdens. Our goal is to ensure compliance with the new industry standards while providing a seamless and secure messaging experience.  We are here to assist every way we can in getting your brand and campaign registered so you can start using *** again without disruption. Our dedicated support team is available to guide you through it. Once the registration is complete, *** capabilities can be restored quickly, allowing you to continue sending messages in accordance with the new requirements. We would like to kindly remind you that your contractual agreement is still in effect. While we acknowledge and empathize with the challenges caused by the 10DLC transition, this change has not altered the underlying nature of the services provided under the agreement. However, we are committed to ensuring that you can make full use of our services and regain value from their contract by assisting you with the 10DLC registration process. 
  
  We appreciate the opportunity to resolve this matter and look forward to assisting in re-establishing your *** functionality. Thank you for your understanding as we navigate these industry-wide changes together. 
  
  Sincerely, 

  GoTo
