ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE! I've made 3 phone calls about my refund, only to have to wait a month! I've been told 3 different time frames and still currently waiting! They've tried to blame it on my bank! The bank is not the issue when Walmart Family Mobile took 70 dollars off my card for a 20-dollar bill! I AM DONE! WOULDN'T RECOMMEND TO MY DOG!

The first time ever I've been giving you a good review. A CSR for Walmart Mobile named April was very patient with me despite, my mental disabilities! And we spent an hour and 23 minutes on the phone and she helped me so much! I've never had a better experience doing with customer service on the phone, (I'm ** and entitled.)The only other positive from WallyWorld is meth chemicals! And pies.

I had issues with my bill payment last month for the family plan I am a part of. Mind you, in order to even pay the bill, this took several 1-2 hour phone calls, whilst being placed on numerous continuous holds. The woman ended the last call for last month by putting me on autopay. The following month, on the due date, my phone was deactivated. They didn't mention that the autopay only works if you have a current sim card. So, I had to leave work for almost an hour to even attempt to reactive my phone to make necessary calls.

This doesn't even deserve a star! I pay for a 55 dollar plan and it has the worst customer service ever! They refuse to let you speak to a supervisor after they made the mistake. Kept me on hold for over 40 mins while having to listen to other customer agents talking and my customer service agent just heavy breathed the entire. Never spoke to supervisor. Told her that I couldn't accept that plan. It wasn't the plan I have got the entire time and she just kept offering it! Wow the worst and the most expensive plan I ever bought! Don't go with them. I should have read up before signing up. Awful customer support ever!! You will be on hold and still not get the issue resolved. I've had to call now 3 times and still did not receive the help I asked for.

I needed to port a number over to Family Mobile from another carrier. Trying to get someone on the phone to help is outrageous. I had three days in which I had to port. After three days, it would be necessary to call and get a new transfer PIN from previous carrier. I spent two days of those three days on hold. Very long times waiting on Family Mobile customer service to pick. I waited in excess of hours until I finally hung up, and had to call my previous provider again to get a new transfer PIN because the other expired. If I had not bought this Family Mobile phone already, I certainly would not buy one now because their so called customer service is horrible! You have been warned!

I didn't get signal ANYWHERE and there is NO customer service. They also make it nearly impossible for you to pay your bill because they want to force you into autopsy. But again, let me repeat. NO CUSTOMER SERVICE.

If I could rate zero stars I would, the amount of time they keep you on hold is ridiculous. Hours. They're just not doing their jobs at all. And the hold music is CONSTANT LOUD REPETITIVE SPEAKING WITH SEVERAL LAYERED VOICES TALKING OVER EACH OTHER IT’S INSUFFERABLE. And they make you wait for HOURS, and then they don’t know how to help you because they barely speak English and act like every question makes no sense. HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE.

The Walmart Family Mobile's hotspot and internet are so slow. I have the prepaid $49.99 plan. In addition, when you call 611611 their customer service number they never answer. My friend said ATT is the best carrier. I will switch to ATT next month.

Worst customer service ever I have been dealing with Walmart for many years and for what I have went through in the last week with them was unacceptable. I changed my phone number and for some reason when the phone company gave me my new number it was still registered to someone else, Something to do with the data was never deleted when the phone company ported to their company, so needless to say it has been a cluster from the start, so I could not change the number they supposedly put a ticket in to fix it, meanwhile could not use the phone number for anything, not even zelle to my banking.
So I called the phone company again and she suggested that I had to get a new number again, so I called to let them know that I had to change the number again, The gentleman that spoke to me was very rude and he could not help me, I said let me to speak a manager. He told NO, that I could not talk to a supervisor. He can't help me either, very rude. Horrible.

Walmart Family Mobile customer service employees compromises/HACKS your phone. I know cause they HACKED MINE. I just purchased a phone and I called 611 for help in activating my new phone. Then suddenly I get a message saying my voicemail pin was changed. I never had a chance to set up my voicemail yet. Then this representative told me after I get off phone with her to press *73 on my phone then cut it off. Once I did that I received a potential scam call all of a sudden so I went in to deactivate the *73 .. Plus she asked me to do a lot of unnecessary steps to activate my phone.

Been with Family Mobile for at least 7 yrs and you'd think that would at least count for something. Instead, they lie to try to pacify you, meanwhile any problem you may be having isn't addressed. You will get transferred from one customer service rep to the next with lies that doesn't even align with one another. My sim just out of the blue "stopped working" and they wanna lie and told me they were "running a test on my line" before I got the results to that lie, I was connected to the 2nd rep to tell her version of a different lie (gonna do an update).... 45 min later.... Thanks for your patience, still running the update.
11pm hits and I am now being introduced to a 3rd rep who asked if there was a power outage in my area, or did I change my location? You know damn well there is no outage!!!! Just full of lies and I'm done. They also tried to make me think the issue was with my phone until I mentioned my mother who is also on my plan, is having the same issue. They changed the subject on that real quick. They need to tell the truth and quit blowing smoke. They know exactly what the issue is. Keep it real for the new customers. You'll never get another nickel out of me.

I have had the unlimited talk, text and data for two years. I pay the bill online. When I paid 2 days ago it still had the unlimited plan and paid the same amount I have paid since getting Walmart mobile. Today I went to use data and it stated I needed to purchase more data. I go back to my account online and the plan had been changed. I called and the customer service representative told me I have never had unlimited plan and that plan doesn’t exist anymore. I told him he was wrong then he asked if I had proof of the unlimited plan from all the previous months. He refused to let me speak to a supervisor and refused to fix my plan. In the last few months, no one on my plan has had more than two bars of coverage.

The Walmart family Mobile website to pay your bill is One of the WORST WEBSITES ON THE PLANET!! Walmart is an enormous corporation with over 22 million Walmart family Mobile customers. The antiquated website is absolutely shameful, it's impossible to update any information for the last 6 years. I've been trying to change my address on that atrocious website, deleting old cards is also impossible, causing further problems, it's just one BIG headache after another trying to use it. It's always been bad, but the transition with TracFone seemed to make everything even worse, something I wouldn't have believed possible, it's the 21st century. SERIOUSLY, FIX YOUR STUPID ANTIQUATED WEBSITE! SHAME ON YOU, WALMART!

I've been with MyFamilyMobile for 5 years. On Tues, I had to change carriers. I was on with customer service for a total of 11 hrs and more than a dozen agents. They gave me a hard time because I didn't have an alternate phone number. I already paid for two months. I'm now expected to pay another month. I was also told that my phone number was expired.

THEY DESERVE ZERO STARS. The cheap monthly price is not worth it. I had my phone for more than 6 months; customer for over 5 years. They turned off my service. When I called, they told me that I changed my SIM card so it wasn't valid. I never changed it-- why would I? 😆 After an hour and FOUR DIFFERENT PEOPLE (mind you they ALL went the the verification process with me - some 3 verification times, others 5 verification attempts, including asking me phone numbers of who I text AND ALL OF THEM INSISTING THAT THEY SEND ME A VERIFICATION TEXT MESSAGE after I told them several times that my phone was NOT WORKING 😂) they told me to buy a new SIM card.
I gave the agent my debit card and then he randomly transferred me and I wasn't able to buy it! The next day, I went with a new carrier. Another hour to get the phone number transfer PIN. The agent NEVER TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE NOT GOING TO UNLOCK MY PHONE. Called back the next day with my new carrier on the phone. They told us they would not unlock my phone BECAUSE I PUT IN A NEW SIM CARD. 😱 I am buying a new phone and never riding this crazy train again!

I was with Walmart Family Mobile for 7 years. Their coverage was modest, less than Verizon, similar to AT&T coverage. They got bought out by verizon, and the service started to go downhill. First, coverage became spotty. Then, network connectivity began to decline (about the time 5G went live). Since then, prices have slowly increased. They are still fairly cheap, under $30 per month, but when my SIM card died, the website and even super-user CSR was unable to activate a new SIM for my existing phone. They insist that I use my non-functional phone to verify my phone. Did I mention that my SIM card was dead? No network capability, no SMS, no text. Wifi calling was also disabled on walmart family mobile, so I could not even make or receive phone calls. Yet, they would not help unless I could verify by text or phone, using my dead phone. Idiots. Time to find a new service provider.

This is the worst phone company I have ever used. I have been with this company for 10 years and because I had a major issue with my phone it locked itself down. I had to go buy a new phone and was told that I could get that credit to my account just to call back on April 14 which I did and NOT one damn word was documented in my account. They are nothing but a bunch of liars. DON'T TRUST FAMILY MOBILE phone company. They are the worst customer service I have dealt with.

Done With Family Mobile. I’ve been with Walmart Family Mobile for about 7 years, but after what just happened, I’m officially done. I recently purchased a new phone and transferred my SIM card from my old phone into the new one. That’s when everything started going downhill. My service kept randomly getting shut off. I’d call them, they’d tell me it was a system error and turn my service back on—but then a few days later, my phone would be cut off again. This happened multiple times.
Eventually, they told me the issue was that my SIM card was “expired,” and I needed to buy a new one. So I went out and paid for a new SIM card. After giving them the info, it took them over an hour to activate it. That would’ve been frustrating enough—except they activated it with STRAIGHT TALK instead of Family Mobile. I specifically told the rep that I was staying with Family Mobile. But they transferred me to a completely different carrier without my consent. And now Family Mobile is telling me they can’t reverse the transfer for another 3 weeks. What’s even worse is that I was so close to earning a free month of service through their rewards program. But after all this chaos, they didn’t even give me the points—and now I can’t use them anyway, since I’ve been switched to Straight Talk. I could wait to go back to Family Mobile to eventually redeem my points, but honestly? After all of this headache, it’s just not worth it anymore.
I’ve called them at least seven times this month trying to get this issue resolved. I don’t think I’ve ever had to call a phone company this much over the same exact problem. I’m mentally exhausted and beyond frustrated from this experience. I’m planning to call my bank and dispute the charge, and I’m now looking into switching to Visible or Mint Mobile. Walmart Family Mobile used to be reliable, but after this experience, I can’t recommend them to anyone. If you’ve been thinking about joining or leaving this service, take this as your sign to steer clear. It’s not worth the headache.

Good customer service but phone was made to be thrown out if it broke, tried switching my number to new phone and couldn't do it. They made the sim card very difficult to remove without breaking something. Now I have another new number.

Worst phone service, awful customer service and half the time they won't put your hotspot on. You pay close to 60$ for one line and hotspot but then nobody can hotspot. As soon as I'm financially able I will be getting a new service. I will never recommend Walmart mobile to anyone.

I have had this service for many years. I had both of my sons on the plan for over 6 years. We had bought an iPhone 11 for my youngest son 6 years ago. In addition we bought the Walmart extra insurance plan in case it got broken. Well couple years into it the phone did get broken. We were told by Allstate AKA SquareTrade to keep the SIM card and to insert it when we got our replacement phone which was a recertified phone but still that's what we did. We recently tried to leave and go to another provider and we were told by Walmart Family Mobile Plan that we would have to pay an additional 30 days in order to get the phone unlocked. I explained everything to them. They didn't care.
I have talked to 10 different people and gotten a different answer. Every time I talked to told me that my phone was unlocked so I ported it over to the other provider which it should never have allowed me to do if my phone was not unlocked. Only to find out that my phone still was locked. Now I don't have any service provider and they want to charge me more money even though I had a week's worth left on my plan. They are a total ripoff. I pay cash for this phone. I've had services with them for more than 6 years because of the failure on the part of the insurance company and four different customer service Representatives admitted this was an ongoing issue with them meaning the insurance companies telling people to insert that card into their replacement phone.
Of course that's what I thought I was supposed to do since it was the same exact phone and that's what they told me to do. But no . Even though I've had that phone and I could prove that I've had that phone for 3 years they are aware that the insurance companies are telling people the wrong information they will not unlock my phone. They want me to pay for two more months of service. News flash to them I'm going to take every phone I have with them and take it to Mint Mobile. At this point good riddance. The biggest problem I have is that one of the representatives told me my phone was unlocked. I had that number ported over to the other provider just to be stuck with a phone that is not unlocked and now I have no service whatsoever. Do not use this provider no matter what.

I really wanted to give Walmart Family Mobile a 5 star review. I had the service for years, and loved it. The customer service is the worst I have EVER dealt with! So, as long as your service has no issues, you will love Walmart Family Mobile. If for any reason you have to contact support it will take years off of your life!!! They keep you on the phone for over an hour doing silly meaningless troubleshooting.
I have been frustrated multiple times by Walmart Family Mobile's customer service. The most recent, we had a SIM card go bad. We did our own troubleshooting, by putting SIM in a different phone etc. When we called customer service, they didn't listen to me (that knew it was a bad SIM), they said, "Now doing step 1", then put me on hold. This repeated, until "Now doing step 6", then put on hold. I have no idea what they were doing, because this seemed pointless. The call got disconnected after over an hour of pointlessness. We called back, and finally got someone who said they would send a replacement SIM and it would arrive in 3-5 business days.
After waiting over a week, we called back, and they said they decided not to send us a SIM (but didn't let us know). They said whe had a Bring your own device, so they wouldn't send a SIM. I was so frustrated!! First, they said they would send, but didn't. Second, I paid for the SIM, and had been paying for phone service for that device. The SIM was bad, and they wouldn't replace!! My daughter was without phone service for over 2 weeks!! They said they would replace the SIM if I could show them a receipt. I said, I bought if from them a few years ago, or ai wouldn't have service. Although I liked the phone service, the Customer service is a joke. I wish I have never purchase this! I know have a competitor's service for unlimited talk & text and 5GB of data, for $10 cheaper a months, and better customer service!

So if you go on their website it says that they offer upgrades for their phones. No I called three different times, three different customer service agents. Do you know what they all told me? Just to go and buy one at Walmart. Those are the upgrades. Does an upgrade phones. It pisses me off that places like Boost Mobile, Cricket, Metro all of these places don’t offer anything for their loyal customers and it’s a shame that even if we like the service and we need a break because we can’t afford a phone that we have to switch companies just to get a free phone or discount phone. It’s ridiculous how they don’t cherish their loyal customers and false advertising either is wrong.
