Assurance Wireless Spoofing/stalking/customer harassment

I am being harassed by your foreign customer service department. They are also linking my telephone number to the number of related or third party stalkers to monitor and harass me via electronic connection.

They are giving out my personal information and allowing people to listen in on my phone conversations, reviewing of my texts messages and photos. When they listen in on my phone conversations some of my important phone calls get disconnected. The also keep calling me a [censored] and using Google data centers and other data centers as a way to harass and allow others to stalk me as a customer. I can hear them spoofing my phone line and while I am on important phone calls.

Desired outcome: Loss of employment, removal of foreign employees for the purpose of them being used as Chinas spies, or more American supervision concerning telecommunications operations and phone service connectivity.

Assurance Wireless Lifeline cellular service

Received 1st lifeline phone. Lasted about a month. Got a replacement phone that they charged $22 for shipping. Then 2 additional $5 charges appeared on my CC bill. They sent a prepaid envelope to return the first phone via FedEx. 2nd didn't last more than a couple of days. 1st call to replace that phone was on 10/6. I've been told 3 times I would receive another replacement phone in 5-7 days. My last call, last week...first they said there was no request for a replacement. Then they said they're not shipping it until they get the first phone back. Well that was shipped more than a month ago. They provided the envelope with a tracking number. They must have tracked it by now. So now I've been without a phone for over a month and my lifeline service is going to get cancelled for non-use. I can't use a phone that's broken. POS company. Billing lifeline I'm sure for a service I can't use.

Claimed loss: $32 not to mention the 4 - 30 minute calls with no resolution. And the aggravation.

Desired outcome: I need a working phone.

Assurance Wireless I don't get the allotted data because the old phone doesn't allow more than 3GB.

They tell you that you get 4 GB, the automative system tells you 3GB, on the online account bar you can't get more than 3GB. I called them several times, but they act like they don't understand. Also, I was told that I have to pay $20 dollars to return the old phone with the removable battery that's not compatible with the unlimited service that they try to talk you into getting with ACP. And they always have an excuse why you can't use your own phone, even though their website said you can use an unlocked phone.

Desired outcome: I am looking for another mobile company.

Assurance Wireless They will not transfer me to the united states I cannot understand the customer service reps

I ordered a phone through safelink. Got it up and running. They sent me a better, larger phone. By them refusing to transfer me to someone I can understand this has been the most terrible customer service I have ever encountered.

I need to speak to someone that can understand me, not talk over me and be patient with me.

I have been hung up on 7 times.

This is NOT GOOD BUSINESS.

Assurance Wireless Affordability connectivity program

These scumbags/scammers are keeping my acp program. I never knew I signed up for it. Now that I need the credit for my home internet provider I cannot get it because assurance wireless is keeping my acp program active so assurance is getting paid monthly for services I have never used the phone and the a/c have been closed for months and the acp expired 10/1/2023, but I was told by acp and internet provider say that until assurance completely closes the a/c I cannot get the credit. I have been trying to reach them for 2 months, and they dont answer their phone [protected], their street people claim they cannot help you close the acp. Filed a complaint with bbb, no response.

My phone number [protected].

Desired outcome: MY A/C IS CLOSED. CLOSE/REMOVE MY ACP INTERNET CONNECTIVITY FROM YOUR COMPANY.

Assurance Wireless Customer care service, process

You have one of the worse customer care employees I called in 3 times my last call I even had a Tmobile Rep on the call and it was poor service.. The process of filing a claim is also horrible your Reps should be able to assist on any question about locations even if we have an appointment already. Tmobile didnt update my new address which is almost a year ago so I took an appointment with the closes location to my old address so I wanted to see if you had anything closes to my new address and thry couldnt assist me. So I am totally disappointed dissatisfied and will be looking elsewhere for my other products.. YOUR COMPANY PROVIDES HORRIBLE SERVICE...

Desired outcome: Training and updating the system on how they can provide better services to the customers

Assurance Wireless Free phone for unlimited plan

October 14th at 11 am I was hung up by a supervisor when I was trying to get my dad who is on disability, foods stamps, and medicaid the free phone that comes with the unlimited plan he just started receiving. He tried telling me that my dad's phone is still under warranty and can receive a new phone but that he has to pay $20 shipping fee. That is the biggest lie I have ever heard. I used to have assurance wireless and was never asked for a shipping fee and never had a problem getting a new phone for my service.

Desired outcome: My dad gets the free phone like it states on the website.

Assurance Wireless Phone quality

I am on my fourth schock in one year. The worst piece of crap I have ever seen. Underpowered, prone to fatal malfunction at the worst times. I know the staff at assurance like family. They insist upon giving me more of this crap every time. I think that they get a kick out of sending out this [censored] and see how long before the customer is without phone service for another three weeks. Never consider that there's a model wide issue and ship more of this crap to people who made the mistake of using assurance.

Desired outcome: Do what real companies do, recognize the trend and dump the model... [censored]s
