Assurance Wireless UMX PHONE U693CL

I would suggest staying away from this company unless they provide another brand of phone and then I'm not so sure? There is some sort malware or such on Umx phones, or at least the one I had. Some news app that can not be disabled evidently. Things still popped up even after it was supposedly disabled. Kapersky antivirus said it was set to install unknown apps. I found no way to turn that off. I tried to root the phone to get trash out of it, but I could not do so, so I took a hammer and smashed the phone and through it in the trash. I don't trust the Chinese. There have been previous complaints about UMX phones, some other models I guess also? This an option open to debate I suppose?

Desired outcome: That people stay away from this company. I believe is the best probably??

Assurance Wireless Assurance Wireless Motorola

My cellphone number is: [protected]. My name is Rev. Denise Cassella. Thankfully, you can reach me on my home phone at: [protected]. However, the whole idea is to have a "Lifeline" so that I can be reached, etc., 24/7.

I have called numerous times to Customer service since November 2021. It's VERY FRUSTRATING, to say the least... Update: I Finally got my updated cellphone: Motorola Moto g in January. I transfered my old phone over to this new cell, back in January 2022. Everything works, emails, apps, texts, internet, can make a call out, however, CANNOT RECEIVE A TELEPHONE CALL IN!

I spent 2 hours resetting with customer service to no avail. I was promised a telephone call and assured that my phone would be working: "no worries". STILL NO CALLS RECEIVED! I spent another hour on hold to get hung up on when I ask for a supervisor! I spent 2 more hours with a supervisor who called me back once, made me go through everything and we did a factory reset; STILL NO PHONE CALLS CAN BE RECEIVED! I was promised a telephone call to get my cellphone working and was assured, "no worries!" Guess what? She never called back! And, guess what? She PROMISED she would call back! What a joke... Isn't this supposed to be a "LIFELINE"? I am an Emergency contact should my family need me in an Emergency, however, I CANNOT BE REACHED!

I AM REPORTING THIS TO MY STATE GOVERNMENT WHO PROVIDES THIS MONEY TO ASSURANCE WIRELESS and to my Attorney General, William Tong for breach of contract.

Desired outcome: I would like to be able to receive incoming calls!!! I would like a sincere apology for a cellphone that is not giving my family a "Lifeline"! I WOULD LIKE A COMPLETELY WORKING CELLPHONE!!!

Assurance Wireless Cellphone

Hello,

I am filing a complaint about my service with Assurance wireless. My cell phone is having issues with connecting to the network and it takes a long time to charge. I called customer service on Monday and I was told that I have to complete the life line application in which I done that months ago. I would like to have a replacement phone sent to me as soon as possible.

Assurance Wireless Customer service and phones

I've had a phone with Assurance Wireless for about a year now AND IT SUCKS. The only "compatible" phones are the phones on their website which are the crappiest phones on the planet, which no one's ever heard of. Not to mention, none of the customer service members are American and do not speak or understand proper English and there's a mutual lack of understanding between me and them and they NEVER solve my problems. Every time I have to talk to them I want to throw myself off of a frickin cliff to end it all and stop the major headache I get talking to the brick heads. How did they even get a government agency with the crappy service they have? Never try Assurance Wireless. It's the best thing ever that they're discontinuing their lifeline. Good Riddance!

Desired outcome: Quit your lifeline and stop giving crappy phones to customers

This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

Almost a year ago I purchased from the Assurance website a Samsung Galaxy A10e cellphone. A few months ago, it sustained water damage. Because it was still covered under a warrantee, I was eligible to have a replacement phone sent to me. Unfortunately, there was quite a delay in getting the phone because it was on BACKORDER. I was also sent a phone of le...

Assurance Wireless Question

I have lifeline service and this has been verified. Thought I lost my assurance wireless phone, so deactivated same. Found phone — re-activated and was switched to a paid service. Have spent hours and hours attempting to fix problem and move phone back to lifeline. Unfortunately the "not too bright" reps give me the run around and do nothing to help fix the problem. Where to go from here? I am an 89 year old disabled veteran who needs lifeline. Thank you my phone number is [protected] my email address is [protected]@yahoo.com. Borrowed contact phone [protected] do you have a bright person who can fix this disgusting state of affairs?

Desired outcome: Restore Lifeline

Assurance Wireless Lack of customer service

On February 16 I spent two hours calling Assurance wireless to secure help with my account. Each time I called I was routed to T-Mobile, my carrier, to resolve the issue. T-Mobile, on two separate ocassions indicated it could not find the number, interesting since I was calling from that number. After two hours I did an internet check for alternative means of contacting the company. There is no email or text nor a dedicated line for customer service. Truly the worst company I have ever dealt with.

Desired outcome: New carrier or a phone call along with contact information which can be used in the future

Hello there,

I am writing a complaint about Assurance Wireless. I applied for the service and was expecting to receive my device, and have not received it. It has now been over a month (a month and a week to be exact). I called customer service to speak to not one but 8 different representatives who have been giving me different information. I called several times about my account and the device. Even the supervisor did not try to resolve the issue and I was hung up on. The representatives were not helpful and dismissive of my issues and concerns.

Desired outcome: I would like the issue to be fixed and receive my device. I would also like the representatives to be held accountable for the misinformation and not doing more to assist with my issue.

Assurance Wireless phone never received

01/26/2021

I placed a call for a replacement phone due to damage. Today is 02/10/2022 and I don't have a phone. My account was charged on 01/26/2021 but have yet to receive. I have called the company twice and the only response I received is that it has shipped. I have emailed 4x with no response. Happy to show you the proof. I want my phone tonight, figure out a way to get it to me. I don't care about how much it may cost you! I need a job and you are preventing from that happening. I will contact Jessie Jones from Kiro TV and show all the documented emails and phone calls I have sent

They sent me a wiko which I had never heard of. Had it for about a year and a half. Battery literally exploded last week. Soo they won't replace it, and there's no way I'm buying a phone made 100% in China (getting spied on by more than the US lol) Not cool. Didn't use it for much. So if I wanna get a moto g which I've used I'll need to spend 150$ for a 3 yr old phone? Not happy.
