I have been a customer for 5+ years. There have been other issues over the years but I will speak to the most recent ones. For months the international calls plan has not been working. I requested to be switched to a different plan for this month. I am on autopay so I was charged for service until August 4th. They switched me to a new plan(which costs less) then they automatically disconnected me and said I should pay again - which will be double paying for this month. Spoke to the customer service, they said since I'm switching to a new plan with them they won't let me continue to use the plan that I was already charged for until August so that I switch at the end of my current plan, or apply the payment to the new plan (which costs less), or refund me for the plan that I won't be using. They said I have to pay twice this month if I want to be connected again and that there is absolutely nothing they can do.
Unfortunately I need my phone working so unless I switch to a new provider(which I have started working on) I will be paying twice this month. Between this and other issues: please don't use this plan, please switch to another provider if you are considering switching, it will save you money and the headaches in the long run. It doesn't get better!

I went to my local Target and purchased one of their sim card kits and bought a plan for $21. When I put it in my phone it wouldn't work. I called them and spoke to a rep and she didn't speak English very well. I still told her the issue and she said, "Let me call you back," she never called back & when I called again I was hung up on. This company is the definition of scam so I won't even bother to ask for a refund. BEWARE!

The worst service ever. I signed up for their unlimited Data plan because I travel a lot and need high speed data on my phone. They first told me that their “unlimited” high speed data was capped at 40GB max. (This kind of misrepresentation and dishonesty is officially allowed in the United States because the consumer has no protection whatsoever.)
In my case I expected to used anywhere from 25 to 35GB and this seemed OK- so I signed up. This month I discovered that even there, they are dishonest. They blocked my data usage on May 25th (I noticed it at around 3PM and did not have restoration of service until May 27 - when I checked at 9am). On May 26, 2023 I called and found that I had used 30.9 GB- I may have screenshots somewhere. My account was set to renew on May 27, 2023. I spoke with 2 people first with someone called Bell, and then with Ramos. They both said I was at 80% usage and therefore high speed internet was blocked
Their customer service is horrible- they don't speak or understand English and communicating is a nightmare- Bell kept saying she was going to "push extra data to me" and will reset the settings, tried that and it did not work- she kept saying to call and add more data and I kept saying I was still within the limits. Ramos seemed to say I had used 80% and it was blocked- I can't understand what they are saying and I can't explain why 32GB is still within their 40GB limit- I asked for supervisor and Ramos hung up on me. Do I think ATT or Verizon is going to be better? NO

CUSTOMER SERVICE IS THE WORSE. Every time I call about the long-distance service, the chat MAGICALLY GETS DISCONNECTED and THEY NEVER CALL BACK. Before the 3G shut down I used to go direct to my contacts list and let's say dial my mom's number (which is overseas-Egypt) and the call will go through. Now every time I want to call my mom I hear this message "YOUR BALANCE IS....PLEASE ENTER THE NUMBER YOU WISH TO CALL." I CALLED 2 YEARS AGO ABOUT the SAME ISSUE AND IT HAD BEEN FIXED. Now I don't get it why they can't fix it as they did before or the least they can contact me saying that they work on it or something. I am really disappointed.

When I moved from to Mineville, NY, in the Adirondacks in September 2022, the service worked extremely poorly there. I only discovered one position I could stand in to be able to talk on the phone more or less reliably, on my driveway, but if I even moved as much as a foot or two from that position I could no longer be heard. I often had to talk in the rain. (A position at one of my windows only worked sometimes.) Elsewhere I could not be heard and most of the time my phone would not even ring. (SMS at least worked in general at my windows.) Note that where I live AT&T's coverage maps showed full coverage around my house of 4G LTE. I have an iPhone 7 that works on 4G. This has caused me so many problems.
Then I was disappointed more as I traveled abroad and my coverage did not work at all, not even to send and receive SMS messages. Not even to be able to change my outgoing message to advise callers to reach me at a different number. This brought me so many problems, as you can imagine, while abroad to be in touch with companies above all or to have them contact me, and then also to identify myself with codes that I have to receive through a cell phone. (And to boot, as I was on autopay I automatically paid for a full month I could not use at all, in any way.)
After several months initially in which I was more or less satisfied with the phone service from H2O around places I would live at or visit in New England, I was extremely dissatisfied with the company after moving to Mineville, NY, and although I paid $20 per month instead of $55 per month, if I could have foreseen all these hassles, I would have preferred to pay $55. I cannot therefore recommend this service to anyone.
To add insult to injury, I tried to contact customer service to at least be able to put an out-going message on the line and I never received any reply. Naturally I had no choice but to drop the service, which of course caused me more problems because apparently today, even when traveling abroad, a US citizen is expected to have an American cell phone number. Oy vey.

My elderly father has used h2o prepaid for years. Rarely a problem. Then came the big "3G shutdown". My father was now without his emergency phone. I went to h2o's website and ordered him a new flip phone. It arrives 10 days later. I went to activate it and it doesnt work. After HOURS on the phone with customer service and just as long on their online chat, nobody can get the phone to work. He will email me a return label and I can send it back. OK, crap happens.... Well here is where the pain started. They didn't send a label. I call and go through ALL of this again. No problem, they will email me a label.
Guess what? Doesn't come. So back on the online chat and the phones. Same story every time, every time no label is sent. My elderly father is without his emergency phone thanks to h2o wireless and I'm out the money I paid for this phone. Now what? I guess my only recourse is to dispute the charge with my credit card. This is absolutely ridiculous and I would advise everyone to stay FAR FAR away from h2o wireless. It's clear they do not care about their customers at all. I just want a working phone. How hard is that?

Bought a phone with a discount and a $60 plan after asking agents how many months I have to keep the $60 plan. On the phone and on chat, every agent told me after 1st month I can switch the plan. However, now they don't allow it. Emailed captured proof from the chat, no response. Now they telling me to keep the $60 plan for 24 months. The Sales Agreement said to remain an H2O customer for 24 months, not with a $60 plan for 24 months. Worst customer service. They all said something else each time I called, hung up on me, or said things in very offensive ways. The supervisor (Frank, ID #**) hung up on me twice.
Where does your website say you have to keep the $60 plan for 24 months ($1440) to save $250 on the phone? This is a false advertisement and a scam. I wasted so many hours of my time making many phone calls. The whole crew of agents does not want to listen or help. My sister who referred me feels very bad and mad as well. Her family of 3 with many years with the service is withdrawing their service. Very bad, bad, and bad experience. I wish I can talk to someone in upper management other than Frank who talks very offensively and hangs up the call every time.

I tried to transfer my phone number to H20 after paying for the SIM Starter Kit. I received an email saying the number was asked to be transferred from my old phone company. It would take around 24 hours. One month after, still waiting. I sent an email to H20 asking for help, just in case I had misunderstood the process of transferring and I was missing something to do. No response from H20. I have decided to stay with the old phone company. At least, they respond the customer. I just regret the money I spent for the useless SIM Starter Kit. Miserable company.

I paid my bill on the first of the month and they charged me 55 dollars and 63 dollars. They lied like I was going to refund me and after 5 days no refund. It's the 18th now and no refund. Now I'm out on the street. I'm on a set income. They saying I had used my money up in Data. I've been in the hospital on their wifi so I know they are lying so I'm about to cancel my card and open a fraud charge on them.

Hello, Andre! We are displeased to hear about this billing issue that has occurred. Please accept our sincerest apologies for the inconvenience you have been caused. After reviewing your account, we confirm the refund has been denied due to the high-speed data usage.

Hello, my phone carrier H2O took 155.77 dollars from my account without my authorization in Sep 2022. I called them to return the money but they were very reluctant to do so. So, I called my credit card and report it as a fraud. I won the dispute. Then, I did not use my phone for a while but when I wanted to use it, I found out that my SIM card is inactive. I called them and they told me to "return the money to them if I need my phone number again". The customer services were literally yelling at me to return the money. I did not buy anything and I did not authorize any money to them. User's recommendation: Please do not work with them and cancel your enroll in auto pay.
