When I purchased my iphone 13 and service from cricket I was told the price of the phone would be $680. A month later I get an email from someone called Progressive Leasing, which I never heard of telling me I now owe $1700.00 as they have taken over what I owe on the phone. Cricket used deceptive practices and this is nothing but a scam
I started with them a few months ago, day six my phone malfunctioned and it's supposed to be replaced within seven days through cricket well that didn't happen they made me pay to replace it, then I was coming off a friend's account and I paid to have my phone turned back on and they didn't say if they call and $#*! it back off we will they just took my money and let it go, crooked, next they wanted 40 plus 60 plus another activation fee to turn my phone back on, set up bridge pay went on phone to a few days later to get my final date to pay the rest and it gave me the date so I think I'm safe cool got a few days, nope they turned my phone off now mind you only agents are supposed to be allowed to set up bridge pay that's what they say but my phone on its own set up another one instead of finalizing the first one scam right, the next day they want me to pay another 100 dollars to get my phone back on now if only agents can set up bridge pay then how was my phone able to give the exact amount due as the text and the due date...They are crooked and don't care about their customers, all they want is as much money as they can take, they don't care about what happened they don't care that their system is not set up properly they just want more more. As soon six months hits and my phone can be unlocked I will switch run as far away from cricket as you can...otherwise you will find yourself in an endless money stealing cycle with them
There is no sales department phone number. When you call the phone number for sales listed on their website, it's not sales it's just regular old customer service. The reps are so poorly trained that the first rep told me not to press anything at the beginning of the call to be able to get the sales department, that is impossible because if you don't say yes or press the number one their line will hang up on you. The second rep said I had to say yes or press number one to get sales, Which is exactly what I did. Gaslight City. How do they stay in business being so poorly functioning? Makes no sense.
Cricket wireless in Angola, IN failed to reimburse me for an account I never used. I was still in the store and hadn't used the new phone yet. The clerk had not asked me if I wanted to keep my own number before she set it up in the system. I explained that if I couldn't keep my number, I didn't want the phone. The store manager was very rude and said that I had to pay for phone line anyway. In the end they kept $60 of my money. They are not trustworthy enough to keep my business.
We added a line to our Cricket account and were charged an additional $8 to the $25 line. When we questioned the charge, the representative said it was for a protection feature that we never discussed, and I never asked for. Then, on reviewing my bill, I found an additional $8 charge for a line I added over a year ago. Again, it was a protection feature I never wanted or asked for. When I contacted the corporate company, they were sorry but would do nothing and told me to take it up with the local store. Cricket charged me twice for a feature I never asked for or consented to, and I caught them in the act. But, there is no refund for a year of charges. Buyer beware.
I haven't cried out of shear frustration in years but tonight after 2 hours of trying to get help from cricket chats I'm losing it. All I wanted to do was pay them to add one Gig to my service for the month. Hurricane Helene wiped out my town's internet so I can't watch TV or use my phone because having no wifi burned up my data in 3 days. It took about 2 hours and many customer service chats to get a very SIMPLE payment accomplished. I'm switching to consumer cellular
Gonna cut to the chase. Paying for coverage on cracked screen.8 bucks a month. Told 29 bucks to fix same day in most cases. Neither is accurate and I'm pissed. It's been over 2 weeks since this occurred and my next step is to go on every review to let people know that they suck.
I have had cricket for over a year. No Matter where I am at around 10 pm I lose my internet now my phone only will do emergency calls. There customer service people are a joke.
" I will reset you network connection. We will no longer be on this call,make sure to power your phone off for 30 min". That's the standard line to get out of the call.
I've been with cricket since 2016 and every year their data availability has been going down and down this year. We decided to get new 5G phones so it would be better. It's actually made it worse. Do not use them. I've heard the area where I live in everyone is complaining.
My iPhone 11, iOS version 17.3.1 which I updated today, which was supposed to be scheduled to update overnight, refuses to give me cellular data access to my Cricket network plan. My cellular plan is on and not roaming, I need my cellular connection plan for work and I cannot do anything since I need my cellular data, everything is paid for, nothing is wrong with my cellular plan. I am a very eye rate customer and this happened twice today! Please find a solution or I am switching to Verizon! I will make everyone know what you guys are up to as well my job is on the line!
Answer: That's what they do best. Lie. When I first joined I was trying to get the New Customer deal. But they did not Honor it.
Answer: The bbb is definitely no help. Lawyers are out for themselves. Post the truth on every review platform you can. They work. Im a professional reviewer for a major home improvement warehouse and they do get results. Cricket is the worst company i have ever dealt with. Expose them
