Assurance Wireless Cell phone assurance wireless

I received my phone from assurance wireless, it got so hot it almost started a fire and turned the clothes it was laying on brown and scorched. Called, had to pay 20.00 for shipping a new phone plus 10.00 so they wouldn't kick me off the program. Waited, no phone called them, they said it was delivered, and if i couldn't find it, it was pretty much my problem and that i might try calling fed x, but it wasn't there problem. So I called fed x they said it was delivered and left along my driveway. I have a half mile dirt driveway. Called assurance back..on hold for forty five minutes then hung up on. Called back again, and got a dozen excuses why they couldn't send another. I found this to be a big rip off and if they are part of T mobile then I wouldn't encourage anyone to use T mobile.

Desired outcome: They need to deliver a phone that isn't going to burn my house down and do it with the twenty dollars I paid to have my phone delivered to ME, not "somewhere along my driveway."

Assurance Wireless Cell service

I have lifeline. It's a hassle when assurance wireless phone won't make or receive calls. I've called customer service but get nowhere. I couldn't talk to any representative. I've no other phone to call them. I guess I'll have to send a letter. It's an ongoing problem. I'm sick of not getting any help. Assurance should have a chat line or email address.

Desired outcome: I'll be looking for new company.

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

I was able to get lifeline service and after 3 days the phone stopped powering on so I threw it away and called Assurance Wireless. They said I would have to pay $20 to ship another phone out to me! Now mind you, the entire reason I got this phone was because it was FREE. Not a bit of help from this company to be able to use my service..which oddly enough...

On 7/19/23 I spoke to a woman named Mandy and let her know that I was unable to turn my phone and use it. At that time, I requested a replacement phone. She let me know that I did not qualify for a free one so provided payment of $34.43. I confirmed my mailing address (where I have lived for 10 years) numerous times. I called back again on 7/25/23 and spoke...

I was told that a supervisor would be calling me that same day to finalize my request and give my credit card info. again...that call never came. I have called every day since then, go through the WHOLE thing again, I am told: unable to process for some unknown reason. I have been dealing w/this online Assurance and am told call above number...it is an automated reply (No matter my question) and No information for how to resolve this.

Assurance Wireless Assurance wireless

I applied for the free wireless phone since I am disabled. The lifeline was approved and they got all my information. I recieved an approval notice and that the phone will be mailed out within 10 days. it has now been 30 days and I went to the page where it says check your status and used the pin they gave me, but there is no account now. I dont know what is going on here but they have all of my information and I have been approved by both the Govermnent lifeline and Assurance wireless, but no phone was given to me. was I scammed? I am getting no resolution here.

Desired outcome: A wireless phone with the Lifeline service that I was approved for. Communication

My late husband & I have used this service since 2011 & have always had good experiences with it except for the fact that the Customer Service people are always extremely difficult to understand, so much so that one has to keep repeating "What did you say?", "Excuse me, could you repeat that?", etc. There is never an available manager to help with dispute...

Assurance Wireless Phone

I called assurance Wireless after I bought a new phone to tell them that the phone didn't work. They assured me that I would be getting a new phone replacement. That was on August 8th. August 28th I called them back to ask where the phone they sent was at. They then told me i didn't qualify for a phone. I bought this phone from them, and it didn't work. Now they are refusing to send me a phone that works.

Assurance Wireless assurance wire less customer service

Let me start off by saying I am thankful for the phone. However, just because I am in a bad financial situation doesn't mean I should be treated like I am a lowlife with no sense. I have called about a replacement phone many times. I am not receiving texts messages. The reason I have this phone is to stay in touch with my children when they are going to and from school. I receive random texts but not all. The phone also does not hold a charge. It is defective! I was told they were sending a new one that never came in the 3 to 5 business days they guaranteed. When I called to address the issue I was told to pay $20 for shipping. I waited about a month to call again and now they want $30 for a replacement phone. They just repeat the same thing over and over and there is never a supervisor available. When I asked to speak to someone else I was hung up on. So very frustrating. Im a single mom and kids are starting school soon.

Desired outcome: I just want a replacement phone that works

Assurance Wireless Lifeline Program.

I have been on the Lifeline Program for years. I reapplied with ACP in April and had unlimited data until July 12. My internet has been off most of the time since then. I have spent hours on the phone with Assurance and ACP. I am currently enrolled in the Lifeline Program #B99214-92449. I have had the service restored a twice for no more than 4.5GB data.

I was reapplied for no reason last Monday, Aug. 14. The next day my internet came on for a half hour and shut off for forty minutes, came on again for twenty and hasn't been on since.

Two weeks ago, woman named Rya made a work order # [protected] and gave me 4.5GB and I thought recertified my Lifeline Program.

Still no internet for over a month and a half.

Will I ever have internet again?
