Number one on my list. I'm very satisfied with Cricket, recommend to my friends and family. They welcome you in and take you step by step. For whatever you trying to purchase. Very pleased with the service of the Cricket team. Thank you.

I've been a Cricket wireless customer for many years, and these days I'm so disappointed in every aspect of the service that I as a long time customer has received over the last 1 to 2 years. The phone that I use is a Moto G Stylus 2025, it's a top performer in the budget phone arena, with that said, it's still as if I'm on dial up when watching videos or streaming music with the cricket wireless network, I could understand if network congestion slowed service speeds down at times, but when it's always slow, one has to ask the question, is it congestion or is there an underlying problem here?, After 9 years with cricket wireless, I'm currently in the process of switching providers, due to the never ending problems with cricket wireless service. As far as I'm concerned, cricket wireless is a dying animal that just needs to be put out of our misery.

Despite being a loyal customer for years, Cricket never rewards loyalty. Cricket refused to issue a refund to me for service I paid for but did not use as I switched to another provider. When I called to request the refund I was constantly yelled at, interrupted and insulted. I asked for a supervisor and although he was nicer, he demanded to know why I switched. Customer service is seriously lacking and good luck finding anyone who speaks English well..

Cricket is a horrible company. Their customer service people don't help you and just hang up or they antagonize you until you give up so they don't have to help. Their phones have been terrible and I have been trying to get it fixed for a month and no help. I haven't been able to use the service or get help fixing it. They took my money out again today and at the point they are stealing. Do not trust or use this company.

I had no service for 2 weeks when a tower was down for maintenance. When I called several times I was told I could get a credit to my account. They still have not given my credit and recently a chat person said it was denied. Every person I spoke with said I would get a credit after my phone was working again. Every time I chatted in the app and asked how to file a formal complaint because their website is not working for that section they would leave the chat. No help at all. It has happened with 3 chat customer service people. They won't give me any answers. Our contract says we have to go through oberation but they won't help me in anyway on how to file. They are not helpful at all.
I'm going to leave them since they lied to me and how they handle customers when they want to complain. I was told I would get a credit for the days I had no service by several people I talked to but no credit was given. The chat people are not helpful at all and neither are the agents who take calls. I wouldn't recommend them if you actually want your phone working good. You would think all my calls and chats would be logged into their system but apparently not or they just don't want to help. I'm definitely leaving this company as soon as I can. With my family as well. I was mislead or lied to and it's not right. My phone still doesn't even work right. It only does WiFi calling most of the time still.

I bought a phone from the store for $99 and by week 2 the phone would not turn on and on the first screen, it just said the phone was corrupted. Took it back to the store and clerk said she could clear the phone. With no other options she gave me back the phone and told me to take it to someone else, maybe they could fix it.

Cricket sucks. Do not ever use them. Their service is spotty and internet never works. When I bought my phone outright they will not unlock it to switch carriers since I didn’t use them 6 months. They say it’s their policy but never made this clear and I never signed anything to agree with those terms. Would give -5 stars if I could.

My service was suspended. I paid for my account to be restored. Paid my balance in full. Then a few days later my phone was suspended again saying it is suspended for not paying remaining bridge payment. I told them I paid my bill in full only to be told to restore my service is to pay a reconnect fee. Then I contact Cricket Wireless and speak with 3 different people telling me I paid my bill. Then I set up bridge pay after I paid my bill. I tried explaining. Why would I set up bridge pay if I paid my bill in full amount. Telling me pretty much to pay my bill a second time to restore my service. I asked them do that make any sense. No good answer, still I paid my phone service bill. Then I decided I would like to make arrangements for bridge pay. Can anyone make that make sense

I bought a new phone for my mom. I called in to the Cricket customer service to get it activated. The representative mistakenly switched off my phone and put my phone number to my mom's new phone. I then had to go into the cricket store to get this corrected. The customer service there was excellent. They were patient. They were empathetic and they worked for hours trying to get it fixed. Finally they were able to get my phone turned back on and instructed me on what I needed to do further to get my mom's phone activated properly. I wanted to give high ratings to the team in the Columbia South Carolina office who helped me. Their names were Tara, Shannon, and Christopher. They did an awesome, awesome job!

Cricket Wireless is a bunch of ** frauds! They can sure take your money fast but refuse to refund you. Had their shitty service for less than 24 hours and cancelled and went somewhere else since they messed my phone up. And now they refuse to refund me. Was told to dispute it with my bank and 3 weeks later I am still fighting to get my money back. They have shitty customer service and reps. Get hung up on. Would not recommend this company to my worst enemy.

Cricket Wireless lost me as a customer before I even got started. Their setup process is fundamentally flawed. As a new customer, I was never issued a phone number — yet every support avenue demanded one to proceed. The receipt was accidentally discarded, and without a number, both the customer service line and online chat are a waste of time. I was caught in a loop with no access to real assistance. It’s unacceptable that a company offering communication services can’t communicate effectively with new users. The lack of flexibility and accessible support made my decision easy: I will take my business elsewhere.

I recently had a disappointing experience with Cricket’s customer service. I purchased the international calling feature online, but it wasn’t clear that it only covers calls made from the U.S. to other countries—not the other way around. When I traveled overseas, I had no service, which was unexpected. Upon returning to the U.S., I contacted customer support hoping for some assistance or clarification. Unfortunately, I was told—politely but firmly—that the issue was my mistake and there was nothing they could do to help. It was frustrating and felt dismissive.

I got a brand new phone from Cricket about 2 months ago. It's been nothing but issues since I bought it. Just recently, I found out it has been dropping messages. What's the point of even having a phone if it can't receive messages? I tried to call Cricket customer service to fix the issue. I got hung up through their automated system before even getting connected to a person! I work nights so I can't go to the store until tomorrow. I need to be able to send and receive messages. I can't believe I paid money for a piece of junk.

If I could give this company zero stars, I would! They lied about my phone being compatible then charged me $300 for a new phone as I'd been on the service for 1 day and was "no longer a new customer". In the past 6 months, they have allowed two people who aren't on my account to make changes to my account without my consent or my PIN. They just let people change your PIN whenever they want. I've turned them in to the FCC twice. Now looking for different service. If you don't want your account stolen, go with someone else. They also disconnected my service after I had paid for it. Then, they made me pay a reconnect fee even though it was their system that caused the issue. They're nothing but thieves!

The other day I went to a Cricket store in Gresham, Oregon. The manager who helped me I felt went above and beyond to assist me even though I was actually planning to leave cricket. I needed a transfer code to do this and [my phone went in the river and did NOT work] and the call to I.T. needed to be made from MY #. Anyway... A Brad ** assisted me...and yes, he did explain to me other options. I had to admit that right now I couldn't afford to stay and only had the $ to change carriers (long story short). The entire visit took quite a few long phone calls and a lot of repetition and patience. He went the extra mile for your company.

Buying prepaid Cricket online will result you in hassle. Customer service on the phone told us to go to the store. We call the store. Cecil the manager says, "Yea come right down. We can help you." We go to the store. They tell us, "Sorry. We can't help and never could." Rofl. Cricket Wireless only cares about commissions and not the customer base. They will not redirect you where to go and pretty much tell you it's not their problem.

WORST CELL CO I EVER HAD!. Switched from Metro PCS to Cricket, OMG!. HUGE MISTAKE!. Only been with cricket for 3 months, it's been HELL for 3 months!. I bought, purchased a cellphone, I have the best plan they have, use auto pay, would've been a loyal customer but I'm switching back to metro pcs 👍🏼🎉 awesome cellphone service, no issues in 7 years!. 2nd day I was back in cricket store and been there to many times to count. Cellphone has not worked right since day one, every single day, every phone call was either dropped call and whoever I was speaking to couldn't hear me but I could hear them. Tried using my alarm, turns off in the middle of the night which made me late for work!. They didn't care about any of that, can people imagine losing your job because of cricket's service?!.
LUCKILY I DIDN'T LOSE MY JOB. EVERY TIME I GO IN ALL THEY DO IS SAY "REALLY? WE NEVER HAVE THIS ISSUE WITH ANY OTHER CUSTOMERS." now reading the reviews that was a complete lie, that's what they are, LIARS!. All they would do is reset my phone to surrounding towers which is a joke and something they just came up with to make it look good, next thing they did was put a 2nd SIM card in, that didn't work. So the district/regional manager told "me" to bring my phone in because it was the device and that they would lend me a phone and send mine out to Samsung to get a new one, BLAMING SAMSUNG!.
I was aggravated with that, knowing I've been going there since the 2nd day of purchasing a phone and a new customer. I thought they would've given me a new phone but NOPE, only because I was going there all the time and the biggest reason because I was back the next day. When I went in to give them the phone and to "borrow a junk phone" I was told that I have to deal with Samsung and it was up to me basically to do all the work after what the district manager just told me. I left the store because I was so angry and upset that they completely lied to me and did nothing at all to help. I was SO SHOCKED AT WHAT I WAS TOLD. THEY NEVER TRIED TO CONTACT ME FOR ANYTHING AFTER DEALING WITH BS EVERY SINGLE DAY!..
I actually contacted my parents' lawyer and he couldn't believe it!. So now I'm switching back to 🎉 MetroPCS 👍🏽. Awesome service, I was talked into trying cricket!. Worst mistake I made!. I just can't believe I had to go this far, contacting a lawyer?!. Come on cricket!. Never ever would've thought I'd have to go this far with a cellphone company but lawyer said I have a case. So I guess I have to take time to go through with this over $8-$900. Cricket would rather have a lawsuit apparently. I'm tired of getting screwed over by companies in general. They want to treat customers like this, they deserve it back now. I looked at the reviews and could not believe all the bad reviews, mostly all 1 star. If I could give them a -5star I would but that's not an option

As with any of the many Carriers, I care that much about Upgrades. But I did care as I would with any of them. If and when I want a New Phone. Then I will buy one if needed. It's not up to Cricket or whomever. So now I'm supposed to go by their Schedule. No I should have stayed on Prepay Phones. We pay high bills for any of them. Don't tell me I can't buy a Phone on my terms and choices. Keep your phones and extra fees.

I am curious if other Cricket customers lose connection in grocery stores and Walmart?

I been a customer with Cricket for over 5 years and the experience I received today was disappointing. I made 2 payments of 55$ and to be told I still need a payment of 70$ to restore my account is unbelievable. I don't understand why is a re-activated fee being charged upfront when you under a Bridge payment. You would think a phone company will charge that when the customer phone is actually disconnected. It like Cricket is charging their customers 2 re-activation fees from the bridge payment and to restore service. My bill only 110$ and Cricket already received 110$. Now they want 70 more dollars, the remaining of the bill and a 2nd re-activation fees. That's a shame!

Dissatisfied with their customer service. I tried calling yesterday and today. Today they said, we are doing a system upgrade, please call back. The website chat, don't even bother, it is an AI bot and does not understand anything you are trying to say or accomplish. The phone support number is not user friendly and it is very difficult to get to a representative. I tried submitting my payment twice on the website yesterday and it would not go through. Paid it just after midnight and of course they charged me a $15 fee. Ridiculous. Companies are only out for our money and no longer care about servicing customers. Looking for a new provider!!! Do not recommend them.

Cricket is a crooked thief!! They advertise bringing your own phone and when you do they'll say your phone isn't compatible and you have to buy one of their phones. Last night I paid my 80.00 Dollars a month fee that doesn't even include unlimited data and they cut my phone off saying I need to pay 15 dollars for reactivation fee when the phone should have not been cut off after making my payment on time before 11:59. When I called and asked for a supervisor there was none and the rep told me I couldn't get that 15 credited to my acct!!! So you just robbed me of 15 dollars.

Worst service provider ever. The staff in the store are dumber than a box of rocks. The latency caused by their "network practices" is beyond retarded. I've never experienced the "typical latency speed" of 31-56ms as posted on their website. I always experience 15 SECONDS to 2 MINUTES of latency. It's unacceptable to take that long to send a one word text. It doesn't matter if I try using my device anytime from 7pm-5am; it always takes at least 15 seconds to connect to the network and then it's sub-standard data speeds on top of that. The lady in the store said well the network is likely congested during that time (in a city with a population of 13,000). Good riddance. Couldn't even keep a new customer for a full month. Bye bye Cricket.

This company is a lying scamming front, it is just as "smile in your face" yet loop hole your pockets as much as the rest of the phone svc! The promos they pretend to give are no more than false contracted discounts filled with bull fees to get back the money they say is discounted through their promos! It is seemingly even worse over the phone speaking with a person that has a speaking tone that is nonchalant towards a Indigenous customer.

I have no complaints with the coverage. I've traveled all over the place and I've always had a good signal. The only problem I have with Cricket is that they seem to be so focused on bringing in new customers and they offer decent incentives for people to switch carriers and come to Cricket. But for existing customers there are no incentives to stay. You try to upgrade a device after being with them for as long as I can remember and for some reason it's cheaper to open a new account and port a prepaid number and pay 199.99 for a decent phone vs. the current customer upgrade cost of 829.99 for the same device.

🔴 Cricket Wireless – Deeply Disappointed by Disrespect and Deceitful Behavior from Office of the President. I’m extremely disappointed and disturbed by my recent experience with Cricket Wireless, specifically with a representative named Alejandro from the Office of the President. From the beginning, Alejandro was unhelpful, dismissive, and displayed highly unprofessional behavior. His tone was condescending and laced with what felt like racial bias, which made the interaction not only unpleasant but deeply disrespectful.
What’s worse, he falsely accused me of not receiving a phone, despite the fact that another representative in his position previously admitted the phone had been delivered to the wrong address. This means Cricket was clearly at fault, yet Alejandro chose to gaslight me rather than provide a solution. His behavior came off as deceitful and evasive, with no interest in resolving the issue. He closed my case without assisting me, despite earlier promises from the company that the matter would be addressed.
This is unacceptable customer service, especially from someone in a position that is supposed to handle escalated concerns with professionalism and care. The lack of accountability and integrity is astounding. If you’re considering Cricket Wireless — please reconsider. There are many better companies out there who actually value their customers and operate with fairness and respect.

I've had Cricket a few years now and what started as tolerable service has only gotten worse. I can't get reliable reception inside most buildings, much less downstairs in my own house. Took a trip once relying on GPS and lost reception for large chunks of the 800 mile trip (both Cricket users phones only). Their phones frequently updates with a bunch of bloatware games that you seem to have no option to opt out of so you have to manually go through and delete each one. They nearly doubled in price from when I first signed up while offering nothing better to justify it. I'm also pretty sure they share your # with every 3rd party out there that asks. If you want reliability, good value, good support, or respect as a customer, I suggest anywhere but Cricket.

Cricket customer service is the worse. I had a line reactivated and then moved to a new account. The rep charged me the $12.00 to reactivate the phone and then realized that I had too many lines on that account so we moved the new line into a new account and I paid the monthly fee. The rep however did not move the $12.00 to the new account and because she did not do that my 5 lines were shut off for non payment due to the customer service rep's fault. Now they want me to pay to restore all 5 lines when it was not my fault that they were shut off. This was no fault of mine and I have to pay the price for the mistake that their rep made. I have been with them for over 10 years and this is how they treat their faithful customers. People do not get a plan with Cricket. They do not care about you. Only the money.

I decided to give Cricket a go, but as it turns out, it's a no go! The counter promises not on paper, will change if challenged! Reception inside the house is very poor, on the road is fine? Rainy days are worst, customer service is inoperant, I feel like it's time to go shopping! Sorry Cricket but you are not stealing my sleep! Much to improve...

I went to the Cricket store on N 2nd E st in Rexburg, ID. I was in desperate need of a new phone and life is hard, so I was on a budget. I had been saving my upgrade for an emergency just as this. I went in and was welcomed with the most contagious energy I've seen in a while. Bubbly, energetic, and READY to help! My phone was saying goodbye and I had just started training at my new job.
Needless to say I was NOT in a good mood. I was drained and feeling defeated. Sam heard my needs. He didn't judge me being a little slow or the fact that I was obviously struggling. He didn't discriminate me. He treated me like a person. NOT just a customer. In my new search to find a new phone on a budget, I was sad to find I was switching back to Android after being with Apple the last 7 years, due to my strict budget. Sam made it manageable and simple. Never pressured into getting more than I needed. Honest about my options (and prices) and considerate of my preferences, we found my new phone. If you're looking for good quality and a free dose of dopamine, I'd suggest you make a visit. It is not enough to say "I was satisfied with my service." Sam could calm a "Karen". Thank you for helping me.

I cannot endorse Cricket Wireless to anyone. Their service is absolutely the worst. After receiving incorrect information about their bridge payment, the customer service supervisor refused to assist me. As a result, I was forced to pay $205 for a single month’s bill without any regard for my financial difficulties. It’s worth mentioning that I have three lines with them. This is how they treat their customers—it's simply unacceptable.

They charge more money when you need more time to pay your bill. They don’t work with you to arrange a future payment (like in several days time). They charge you upfront and then they also say pay the other half later, but the other half includes either a late fee or a disconnect fee, not sure which one, but it’s a fee of some kind.

We bought a phone six months ago and then she called me (she lives in a nursing home) to say it was not booting up. When I looked at it it said that it could not boot because it was corrupted. We took the phone to a cricket store and after the cricket employee messed with it for a while and could not fix it she called two other stores. After she got off the phone with them she proceeded to tell us that she must have hit the wrong thing. She told us that they was unable to fix the problem or replace the phone. She suggested that we take it to Geek Squad and have them fix it. We have been with cricket on and off for several years and the customer service is only getting worse.

My issue with Cricket is that you never get approved for a upgrade as they promote. No matter how many years you've been a loyal customer you end up unapproved every time you apply for a upgrade. I question what does it take to be Eligible for a upgrade for a new phone because I've tried numerous of times and I've been denied. I wonder how come they're the only company that makes it so hard to upgrade after years of being a loyal customer? I'm seriously thinking about leaving as a loyal customer because it shouldn't be so hard to get approved for a upgrade and there's little to no deals and perks as it is with other phone carriers. I would continue a loyal customer if they consider that especially to loyal customers.

I’ve been a customer for 15+ years and for the past few years dealing with Cricket has been the worst experience ever when dealing with customer service support. These agents they’ve chosen to take these calls should all be replaced. They are unprofessional, they’re not empathetic to any concerns I’ve had. They are not knowledgeable. I spent 8 hours today trying to resolve an issue that was faulted by them. They hang the phones up when they don’t have or know an answer. The supervisor are never available or they get their friends to pose as supervisors. One supervisor told me to go to an available Cricket store which is 25 minutes away from my home, just for the store clerk to tell me customer support would have to handle my issue. This was a technical issue on their end by the way. The store clerk told me they always send the customers to the stores just so they can get us off the phone. They need to send cricket jobs somewhere else for sure.
Me and five customers that I know of as of today has cancelled their service with cricket. Then when you try to contact someone outside of this horrible place, you can’t reach anyone else. The supervisors don’t even know anything. As long as I was on the call with them today you would’ve thought I worked for cricket! HORRIBLE SERVICE. Save your time going here. There are other phone companies that has way better affordable deals. They told me I was never enrolled in BridgePay. Down below is the proof I was enrolled and stated I was not and that it showed as a partial payment, doesn’t that sound like a technical error on their end? Which they have frequently. They also never informed their customers of a security breach, went three weeks with my phone not being able to make calls.

My husband and I went here to get some phones because we were told how "good" they were to their customers. Well, we were told that we could get a temp number for 7 days so we can try them out at our house because of where we live. When we did that, they told us that we can get our numbers ported from another carrier for free. So, we tried it for 5 or 6 days the phones worked great, so we go back to start the porting of our numbers, but we are told that we must pay to get them ported. Why tell someone that they can get numbers ported for free when they can't. So, I call customer service and tell them what happened. They tell me I need to speak to a manager about it, so they transfer me to one. I had to tell everything thing about how we were lied to about getting the numbers ported for free. He then proceeds to tell me that I would have to get a new sim card which is another thing I wasn't told by the sales rep.
So, he told me that because I was lied to so many times that he would waive all fees and even reimburse me for the sim card so I could get my phone with my number. I told him it would take me about an hour to get from my house to a Walmart to be able to get a SIM card kit. It ended up taking me almost 2 and half hours because every Walmart was out of them, I had to go to a target to get one. So, when I get home, I had to call back, and they couldn't find the manager I spoke with that told me he would waive all the fees. So, I was transferred to a different manager and that one tells me no they cannot waive any fees that I have to pay for everything. So now I have 2 phones that I cannot use because of all the lies that was told by several different Cricket reps.
I couldn't even pay the bill because what we were told it would be it was not. It was close to $100 when we were told it would be around $80 for 2 lines. All cricket wants is money money money. They will lie to you to while telling you what you will get when you are getting the phone. They will tell you what you want to know and here even if it's not the truth. Beware when you go to any cricket location or call cricket customer service. I am done being lied to, I will not be back to cricket. They could not pay me to get a phone from them.

I absolutely love Cricket Wireless! I switched over from Boost Mobile - Boost Mobile lacked unlimited high-speed data, plan features, and customer care support that was knowledgeable and professional as well as kind. I ported over from Boost to Cricket and got the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE for only $193 out the door. The process was super smooth, and my local store was amazing. I had an issue with my phone number when I was with Boost Mobile, and usually the phone number change fee is $15 but after I ported over Cricket Wireless customer care waived the fee and changed my phone number for me for $0.00 it's safe to say for me Cricket has been awesome.
They have good phone deals, customer service is very kind and professional even though there wait times are a pain, the service was been reliable and great - I have service in places I did not have with Boost Mobile, I love having Max for free on their $60.00 plan and I love having unlimited high-speed data which is SUPER AWESOME!
I highly recommend Cricket Wireless!!! (The one thing I dislike about this company is the fact that current customers get poor deals on devices, while new customers get the best deals - I really do think Cricket needs to change that because current customers should get fantastic deals like new customers who ported over to them that's one of the cons with Cricket and one of the things I hate about them - I hope that changes soon.)

BUYER BEWARE! I'd give them a '0' if possible. My parents, who are in their 80s, outright bought two phones costing over $600.00 last September. While Cricket says there is no contract, there is a 6 month 'obligation' to remain a Cricket customer; we were not aware of this. My parents have recently gone into Assisted Living and can no longer afford the monthly charge of $65.00. I tried to switch them to a cheaper service under my cell phone account (NOT Cricket) but was 13 days short of the 6-month period - again, we did not know about this. STILL, the Cricket representative gave me a transfer pin so I could 'port' their phones to my account.
The second that happened, Cricket cancelled their phones but kept them locked, making the phones worthless. The ONLY way to make their phones work was to create a whole new account, which began the 6-month 'obligation' period all over again - even though they KNEW their phones would remain locked when they gave me the transfer pin. I called and spoke to 'Mohammed' and he promised me that he had done an override of the obligation date and both phones could now be unlocked.
This was a lie, so I called again and spoke to 'Nelson', a supervisor, and begged him to unlock their phones, but he did not care - 13 days shy and Cricket had received 6 months of payments from my parents, but he would not unlock the phones. So, the only option is to stop paying them and throw away their phones as they'll remain 'locked' and totally worthless until August 2025. This means they will have to get brand new phones and phone numbers. This company does not care about their customers, and I've been lied to every time I called and spoke to someone. If you are thinking about signing up with Cricket, I BEG YOU NOT TO - THEY ARE CROOKS AND LIARS!!

I have had nothing but problems with Cricket Wireless since signing up. I have only stayed because I feel I am a hostage as they have repeatedly refused to unlock my phone, that is fully paid for. Today I go to use the Timer on the clock for my phone, something I use regularly, and I am forced to agree to new privacy policies and share usage data with Google? For the Timer? For the Clock? For the Alarm? For the Stopwatch? For the Calculator? This is an absurd, overreaching, intrusion of my privacy. The entire interface for all of these apps has changed now, and without signing in to Google I will have "Limited Functionality"...again For the Timer? For the Clock? For the Alarm? For the Stopwatch? For the Calculator? This is unreasonable and unacceptable.
Trying to call, both through 611 on the phone in question, and through the 1-800 number all I get is an AI gatekeeper bot that will not let me talk to a human being, and when I keep asking for an agent just decides it can not help me and I should call back later and disconnects me! The online chat option does not open a chat window for me anymore. So there is no way to reach customer service at all to discuss these despicable and disgusting changes to policy! Cricket is now nothing but a Scam run by Thieves in my opinion! I am sick of this abuse by telecom companies.

I have been a Cricket customer for I think close to 15 years. I chose cricket due to needing 4 lines for my kids and I so it was the most affordable option. I have never had any issues up until the past year, more importantly the past few weeks. First off, my bill was due and I was struggling due to a lot of personal family issues. So I did a bridge pay through the myCricket app. There were no issues, it was quick and easy. The end of my 7 days came and I wanted to extend my BridgePay. I went through the app again and all seemed well. I followed the same prompts as before and received the same text about when to pay the remainder. I went to sleep that night and woke up in the morning to my service having been disconnected.
I called customer service because I clearly confused. I was informed that they could see the partial payment, however it was not applied as a bridge pay. I went back and forth kindly with the rep. She was very nice but obviously did not really understand what I was saying and continued to tell me that in order to have my service reinstated I would need to pay the entire phone bill minus the 45 dollar bridge pay, but I would need to add I think 15 dollars per line to have it turned back on. I finally got her to understand and she said there was nothing she could do on her end aside from credit me ONE of the 15 dollar reactivation fees. Then she advised me to not make payments on the mycricket app which seems ridiculous to me. What kind of company advises to refrain from using the app to pay your bill because it is "buggy" and suggests you to call in and make payments. Especially a cell phone company. It seems off to me.
Then about a week later this past Wednesday I decided to upgrade my phone. My phone is 5 years old and has been slowly dying for a while. I went on the website, chose my phone and ordered it. It says 2 day air UPS shipping. Sounds good to me. I get an email Thursday morning that my order has shipped. I check today, Friday to see when my phone should be getting here to make sure someone is home to grab it and the tracking link goes to UPS where I reach a message that says, shipping label created but UPS has not received the package and to check with the seller due to it being close to the end of the 2 business day window.
I reach out to online chat rep due to me being a work. I go through the whole issue the rep asks me 3 separate times for my phone number, I give it to them 3 separate times, then asks me for my order number. I go to copy paste my order number, am trying to get back into the chat because it bumped me out while grabbing the number. It took me all of Maybe 4 mins, I come back and the rep closed the chat due to "me being idle for so long" I obviously get frustrated but go back into the chat and go through everything again with a new rep. She asks me to put my order number in, this format 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9, which is weird but ok.
She then proceeds to tell me, my order was shipped and will be here in two business days. I explain everything again and she says well I see that it was shipped yesterday, I was like ok so when will it be here because UPS is saying they haven't received anything. She then says, "I show it was shipped on my end today and should be here by Monday." It is not almost Saturday and ups tracking still says they have received no package. I will just wait until Monday because I have no other option. I don't understand what is going on with cricket now. It is coming across as scammy now instead of trustworthy and the customer service is a total 180 from what it used to be.

From time to time I would call tech support and they would have me reset my phone and it would be fine fore a while. They told me it could be my phone so I purchased a more expensive phone, I continued to have problems. I called tech and I was informed that I have no roaming on my plan. Why did it take 7 years to tell me this? Over 7 years not once was I told this was a problem. Now I am paying a higher price just so I can make and receive business calls.

After hanging up with me and assuring me that it was taken care of my main line went dead.
After several phone calls and being disconnected 3 hours later I was informed that I had to pay $68 to get my line reinstalled even though it was clearly not my fault. They said they understand that but I had to pay anyway. I think that is the worst customer service I have ever seen. So anytime a representative makes a mistake it doesn't matter.
