Cricket Wireless review: Phone replacement problem 34

i too got a new phone and service through crickett. the problem i have is they sent me a phone that i cant use. i called them and they told me that my new phone has the same esn number as somebody elses phone. i was told that they will report this to manufacturer and will find out wether they will refunnd me or send me a new phone. this was a week ago! i havent heard nothing

2 months ago my phone quit working so I went to a crickett outlet store, they examined my phone & showed me inside there was a dot.Suppose to be white N it turned red, she stated it had gotten wet.the dot is an indicator.I told her i'd not gotten it wet, she stated I had to have or it would not have changed colors.I'd told her I work outside N sweat, her reply was that had to be it.She said that crickett would not do anything with it, & i'd have to do an insurance claim.That would be $85.oo dollars & they would swap with a phone of equal value.Well mine is a Kyocera slider camera, i'd stated to her I really did'nt like that style phone, what other choices did I have, so she brought out the same one & a different one which I liked better.So I told her I liked the other one, I asked her where was the camera & she says OHHHH it does'nt have one.She stated that what made it a better (so to speak) phone was that it was also an MP3 or compatable with an MP3, hell I do'nt know, that's when I said how am I suppose to take pictures with an MP3, she said OHHH you can't.So I got stuck with the same phone that they no longer make & is a piece of S_ _T, but they do have more in stock to replace yours when it does SCREW UP.By the way I failed to mention that was only two months ago, NOW I'M SCREWED into the same place, Phone screwed up again N have to replace it.AGAIN & another $ 85.00. CRICKETT SUCKS

i bought a phone the UTstarcom and when i left the store to use it it did not work it only worked on speaker so i left not thinking anything about it though it might just be function on it i need to change but notthing so i went back to the main store for cricket and told them they sold me a bad phone and they said well you talked longer then 15 min thiers nothing we can do but you did get did insurance so make a claim and i fell like i should not make a claim and pay a other 85 dollars for a phone they sold me broken i even traded my good t mobile razor for this piece of ### i still use today CRIKET SUCKS !

Don't buy Cricket Insurance! It's not worth buying the cell phone Insurance! Cricket customer service explained the insurance covered water damage, physical damage and electronic malfunction. I just had to pay the $85.00 and the store would replace my phone with the same or equal value. I paid my $85.00 and they gave me not a different phone but claimed to fix my phone and replaced something different in the phone. 2 weeks later the phone was broken again and I went back to tell them they gave me a lemon so they told me to file another claim and pay another $85.00. The replacement phone only lasted 2 weeks so I feel like they scammed me after being a faithful customer for 2 years with 3 phones. I'm now switching to another cell phone company. They told me there was a 30 day policy on returns on the receipt but they wouldn't even honor that. I feel so cheated by them. they're so quick to take our money and they would've continued to have me as a paying customer if they didn't scam me on the insurance. I could have just bought one of there new phones at $65.00 and started a new plan rather then paying $85.00 for a phone I can't even use. So I learned my lesson on insurance. I so badly wanted to file a police complaint on them. the store blamed it on the insurance and the insurance blames it on the store. neither want to take responsibility to help their customers.

i Brouught A Cricket Phone, Two Weeks Ago And iT Stop Woring I Took It Too The Store And They Made Me Pay 50 For A New One So Too Days Later The Replacement Stop Working And There Tryna Make Me Pay 50 mORE

I've only had my service for 3 months. They had a problem with the phone from the beginning. They couldn't get it to activate with my existing number. They used a "SIM kit" finally (which I asked them about when I told them my phone want acting right). They got it to work so I didn't worry too much about it. The phone started to read that my memory was full (after the fact that I deleted almost all my pics and music. Even uninstalled my games.) I tried clearing old calls, txts, web history. Whatever I had to, to make space. Well when I brought this up with them too ask them why a phone they sold me, was not even reading the micro sd card. I was roofs that they couldn't replace it. I had to contact LG. Why should I have to contact the market of the phone when they were the ones that sills it too me. I tried rushing them that. But. I might as well have berm talking to myself, because they said that it was a manufacturer problem.

I might as well have been talking to myself, because they said that it was a manufacturer problem.

I know this complaint is 8yrs old, but this response I believe will be important for anyone else who reads replies. I sent in my near-3-month-old ZTE Sonoma, for manufacturer's warranty repair/replacement, because the microphone wasn't working. It was my understanding that like the Samsung S3s, the charging post was the reason behind failure. Other than slight chips in the plastic chrome trim, there was no physical damage to my phone. Insurance was said to cover so much as the phone being run over by a vehicle...

... this apparently was a false claim by the clerk who sold me the phone. When I called, to get an update on what was taking so long to get my phone back (well over a month), they claimed that the warranty did not cover the damage, because it was found to have water damage. I told them to send my phone back, because I knew it didn't have water damage, the issue was a known issue with the charging port overheating the microphone and I would perform the repair myself, since now, after all the time I waited, the warranty was void on the phone. Additional Insurance did not cover this phone for whatever reason, I tried getting Cricket to cover it as well, but their claim of "water damage" coverage did not apply.

Furthermore, the phone they returned was missing the back/battery panel when I received it. They claimed when they send it to the warehouse, they destroy the back cover... which the clerk also told me "wasn't with the phone, because instructions say to only send the phone body" (instructions say to remove battery, SIM card and SD card and return phone only). This and the fact that the phone that was returned to me has a faulty digitizer, which it did not have prior to sending it in does not register, truly infuriated me. I still have this 1/2 a phone that Cricket will not accept toward credit for exchange... which they would have accepted with a battery cover. Yes, I still have their minimal phone service. I purchased an AT&T Samsung Galaxy i337 phone and had them enable it.

In closing, I won't complain about (above adequate) cell service that is under $30 a month... but I in no way trust their warranty department due to false claims made and unprofessional customer support.

They tryed to charge me an extra 70$ to port my phone number over. Poor customer service don't try to keep customers and customers is how you make money and why you guys have jobs! It's always been negative experiences with cricket never would I ever get this service again

Cricket has not resolved my issue yet I it's been 30 without data I want my money back...

Today is Christmas day and all 5 phones in my family are not working. Accounts are suspended and I have auto-payment. My balance is 0. No customer service is available due to holiday.

I was in class looking up ideas for an art project and my phone shut off and wont turn back on. It is a ZTE grand max. Ive had the phone since February of last year and it hasnt turned on since June of last year. Ive tried everything and still wont turn on

The manager of the store was very rude and looked like she had just got done doing some drugs . Her eyes looked red and she looked greasy. I experienced a terrible service at this location . Very irresponsible and unprofessional store manager for a reputed company like this .

Emergency aligns when you been in a domestic violence situation and you reach out to your provider letting them know, hey 15bucks I don't have. But when someone does 10yrs in prison and have order not to contact you and they do and you tell them your situation...it's nothing we can do. You would've thought that they cared. Cricket is a JOKE!

my phone has been broke and i had dropped it and it messed up my screen where i cant touch it and it wont let me do anything

I paid my bridge payment for 25.00 they turn my phone off. For a being 7 hours late. Then made me pay 82.00 more to turn it back on. I was rip off by cricket and treated unprofessional when the lady got rude and hung up and my face after waiting to speak with someone. I will not advised anyone to purchase from cricket. Bad business

I want to remove network lock

I got a message today saying Cricket plans on throttling the unlimited plan after 22 gb. That's unacceptable, unlimited means unlimited. If they do this, I'm switching carriers and I think everyone else should too. I pay $70 a month for unlimited Internet and that's what I expect

manager at cricket in Frankfort Kentucky she had a very bad attitude with us we were just asking a question and she got smart with us and told us to leave I'm tempted to take my business elsewhere because of this manager I'd really appreciate it if you talk to this person and see why she is being the way she is with the customers thank you

no wireless call data problems no response from cricket

I think its wrong that i pay extra on ny data plan for unlimited data and cause i have unlimited data im not afforded the opportunity to have a hotspot. The unlimited data plan is really the only plan sensable to have with the hotspot!

U are not letting pay in time because bridge pay before get paid so now u guys want to pay double for this service I can't pay in time to get this on Thursday at 3am seriously?

I have no internet or data service on my phone. I do have 4 bars of signal. This has occurred twice over the weekend also. This is for Cricket wireless phone service in York, PA.

Horrible company, terrible customer service. Brough my my own phone to this company, and they look my phone. Then when called to have my phone unlock. its wa nothing but attitude. Anybody that thinking about this phone service don't

My device was damaged and service was seized five days before my due date. When I got the phone back, I turned it on and was told I didn't have to pay a reconnection fee. Instead they took five days from my new cycle and charged me one anyways. If you value every dollar you spend, don't choose cricket !

Pages Not Opening On Phone Service [protected] government phone acquired in champaign il approximately 1month ago. Pages include twitter, Gmail, Facebook and others.

I never have phone service I had a emergency cricket wireless phone service was not available I couldn't call 911 calls drop and I pay my phone bill on time and I never have proper phone service I have to keep turning my phone off and on constantly and still don't get no signal

It looked up over night store and support line can't help cricket and Samsung screen says safe mode after numerous attempts and cricket implies I might have to pay for repair I know its not my responsibility and need it fixed at 71 years old I can't be without it because family health conditions

Cricket is nothing more than a con company, they can't deliver what they advertise about. Call 611 anytime of the day you will receive a recording, it is a 10 minute wait. A Lot of people calling with cricket phone issues. This has happened from 11/05/22 to 11/18/22 several times a day, sometime 8 times a day

The manger Jose is very unprofessional was screaming at me over the phone instead of trying to help me out with my situation! Very rude and pathetic. I had this POS company for years and I will no longer give them my money!

Ticket # C - xslkcf

Was told that a representative would call me back been waiting since Saturday and haven't heard from anyone...

.I was paying my son phone bill and accidentally hit the wrong number l was paying. [protected] and put in

[protected] simple mistake I was told oh no problem we can fix that but I haven't heard back from anyone

For the past 3 months I barely have enough signal to make a phone call in most places where I live. What has changed. I'm paying for what?

For the last 2 months I've been charged $65 versus the $55 that auto pay claims. They say my auto pay is declining but I have used the same card and even paid the bill and late fee with it. My bank says there are no issues on their end but they still have charged me twice.

I have tried for several hours on the app, web and phone to apply a gift card to my account with no success. I actually have two gift cards and neither one will work.
