      Dear ********** ************ correspondence is in response to a complaint filed by *********************************. In her complaint, she mentioned experiencing service issues with Cricket Wireless on July 4, 2024,due to a degraded tower, resulting in no service unless connected to Wi-Fi. Despite being promised a fix by July 10, she only received a $20 credit for the inconvenience, which she found unacceptable. Shes requesting a refund for 7 days of service she paid for but did not receive and she is questioning the fairness of being charged for a week of service she could not fully utilize.

      We contacted **************** on July 16, 2024, to discuss her complaint. After reviewing her account, **************** confirmed that her services are working as expected for all her lines. *************** confirmed her complaint is regarding the refund for the 7 days she did not have services.

      We offered **************** a courtesy credit to cover the 7 days of interrupted service. She agreed to our offer and stated that she did not need any additional assistance from Cricket Wireless.

      We thank **************** for her communication.

      Dear ********** ************ correspondence is in response to a complaint filed by *****************. In her complaint, ************** detailed her experience at a Cricket Wireless authorized retail store on June 11, where she inquired about using a cell phone for international travel to ******, *******,*******, and a cruise. The sales representative that assisted her stated she needed to purchase an internet device and a phone. She explains that the representative also advised her that the phone and internet device would work in the specified countries under the international plan for $45 extra a month,and neither the phone nor the internet transponder functioned as promised. ************* adds that she visited the store multiple times when she returned from her trip and the representative who assisted her denied all the expectations she initially provided. Lastly, the manager informed her they would not be able to issue a refund for them. ************** is requesting a refund of $290.74 for the devices she was not able to use.

      We contacted ************** on July 12,2024, to discuss her complaint. After reviewing her account, we found two ********************** numbers associated with the device and turbo mobile hotspot she purchased at the authorized retail store. We explained to ************** how the Cricket Wireless international plans work. We shared with ************** we would start the process to return her devices and initiate her refund request due to the misleading information she received. We advised ************** that the refund process take between 7-14 business days and the check will be mailed to address she provided to us.

      We want to assure ************** that Cricket Wireless takes pride in our customer experience and is committed to providing excellent customer service. We shared with her that we have escalated her experience to the executive leadership team for this store location. We assured her they will investigate further with the store manager and representative.

      Dear Sir/Madam,  

      This ************** is in response to a complaint filed by ***********************. In her complaint, **************** states that she purchased a phone from Cricket Wireless; however, Cricket Wireless would not unlock her phone to use it with another carrier. **************** is requesting assistance to unlock her phone.


      We contacted **************** on July 3, 2024, to discuss her complaint. After reviewing her account, we discovered that she used the device with the ********************** network for four months and five days after she purchased the device and activated the service. We explained to her the portion of the Cricket Wireless device unlock policy that addresses the six-month tenure within the Terms and Conditions of Service. Cricket Wireless Terms and Conditions can be found at: ******************************************.


      Although ****************** device did not meet the Cricket Wireless unlock requirements, we provided an exception for the time in-service requirement and unlocked her device. We explained the exception to her and she did not have any other question and/or concerns for Cricket Wireless.

      May 21 2024 I paid cricket wireless $65 for my phone bill. I dont know how this happened but the money went onto an old account a phone number that is no longer active so when I figured this out, I called them and was told they couldnt help me. I asked if they could just take the money and put it onto my current phone number and they said no, then they asked me for my pin number which I gave to them and I never have changed my pin number so it was the correct one. They said it was reset when the phone number became deactivated so Im not sure how Im supposed to know what it is now they said they had no access to the account. If I wanted to purchase a Sim card I could go back to my old number for a month, but I did not want to do that. I just wanted my money put on my current phone number . When I asked to speak to supervisor. She said she had none. Is there anything else she could help me with . So in short I paid $65 and received no goods or services. Thats theft.

      Dear Sir/Madam,

      This ************** is in response to a complaint filed by *****************************. In her complaint, **************** states that on May 21, 2024, she paid Cricket Wireless $65.00 for her phone bill. After she discovered that the payment went to an old account with a deactivated wireless number, she contacted Cricket Wireless customer care and was informed they could not help her. She provided the old account *** as she never changed it,but the representative explained that the *** was reset when the ********************** number was deactivated. Therefore, they were unable to access the old account. When she requested to speak to a supervisor, she was informed that a supervisor was not available. **************** expressed frustration as she paid but did not receive any goods or services in return, feeling that the situation amounted to theft.She is requesting her money to be transferred to her current wireless number.

      We contacted **************** on July 11,2024, to discuss her complaint. After reviewing her account, we found that the payment of $65 went through a different Cricket Wireless account that is not associated with her current wireless number.

      We explained to **************** that to perform a transfer funds request between accounts, the authentication process must be completed. For this reason, **************** agreed to receive a credit to her current wireless number for the value of the misapplied payment and we provided her with expectations about her next months bill and balance due.

      Dear ********** ************ correspondence is in response to a complaint filed by *********************. In his complaint, ************** expresses frustration with Cricket Wireless for selling him a six-month contract without his knowledge, leading to his iPhone 13 being blocked. He adds that he purchased his phone unlocked; however, he was informed that the phone is locked to Cricket Wireless, and now he is being forced to pay six months of service. ************* has been trying to get assistance to resolve his issue with no success.He is seeking a resolution to this matter.

      We contacted ************** on July 5,2024, to discuss his complaint. After reviewing his account, we confirmed that his device is eligible for the Cricket Wireless flex unlock policy, however, we were unable to complete the unlock process for his device due to a system error. We explained to him we would send a request to the manufacturer to unlock his device remotely.

      Called corp office Cricket ************ June 24, 2024 to resolve an issue with my cell phone ************. Instead of fixing my phone they cut it off and before the due date of June 28th. I did not authorize this but corporate wants to review voice tapes before cutting phone back on. My phone number is up for grabs as it was taken back too. Since i had no way to talk to anyone about my problem I went to Cricket Store in *****. She was very helpful but couldnt fix my problem and called their corporate office again but no results (she has ticket numbers and id numbers of people i talked to) and this is almost 11 am the next day. Not a word from a soul at Cricket. My phone is still off. I have no other contact phone so manager at Cricket store in ***** has all details of this situation and will contact me if they ever make a resolution to cut my phone back on. If they leave my phone off then I want a refund for days not on, about 5 days. After reading other BBB complaints on Cricket it seems this happens a lot with cutting off phones. So are they running short on phone numbers or what? Either way as an elderly citizen, our phones are a life saving resource and not to be taken lightly with being cutoff for no reason and without my permission. It seems as if Cricket wants your money but gives you no phone service in return.

      Dear ********** ************ correspondence is in response to a complaint filed by *********************************. In her complaint, ***************** states that on June 24, 2024, she called the Cricket Wireless corporate office to resolve an issue with her wireless number. She reports that instead of fixing her issue, her service was canceled before her bill was due, which was on June 28, 2024. She asserts she did not make this request and adds that the corporate office informed her the voice tape would be reviewed before her wireless number could be restored. Due to the cancellation of her service, she was left without any means to communicate and visited a Cricket Wireless authorized retail store for further assistance. The representative was helpful but still could not fix her issue. ****************** is requesting the reactivation of her service.

      We contacted ****************** on July 5, 2024, to discuss her complaint. After we reviewed her account and verified the interaction she made on June 24, 2024, we confirmed ****************** did not request the cancellation of her wireless number. We offered to reactivate her wireless number at no cost and include one free month of service, but she informed us that she is no longer interested in having Cricket Wireless service due to the difficulties she experienced attempting to resolve this issue. She explained that now she has wireless services with a different provider and requested a refund for the unused service.

      We honored Ms. ******** refund request and processed a refund of her last payment back to the same payment method she used. We advised her to allow 5 to 10 business days to reflect on her bank account.


      Lastly, we assured her that Cricket Wireless takes pride in our customer experience and is committed to providing excellent customer service. We shared with ****************** that we have escalated her experience to our call center executive leadership teams and assured her they will investigate further with managers and representatives.****************** confirmed she does not need additional assistance from Cricket Wireless.

      Dear ********** ************ correspondence is in response to a complaint filed by *********************. In her complaint, ************** states that she has not had wireless service at home during the day since June 10, 2024. She contacted Cricket Wireless customer service through ********* and was informed that there was a degraded tower in her area causing a network outage. They advised her that the resolution date was initially set for June 11, 2024. Since then, she reports that she has been contacting customer service every other day and the network issue still is not resolved. She suspects that this incident is permanent because she has been without service for over 2 weeks. ************** is requesting a resolution to this issue.

      We contacted ************** on June 28,2024, to discuss her complaint. After reviewing her account and the network status near her home address, we confirmed that there is a degraded tower which might be affecting her service connectivity. We also verified that the estimated resolution date of this tower has been extended since June 10, 2024.Due to the extended time with the network incident, we shared with ************** that we would open an internal investigation with our network support team to gather additional information and we scheduled a call back to provide her with the findings.

      On July 6, 2024, we informed ************** that our network support team identified an optical interface failure with the tower that is near her home address. This tower is located on the rooftop of a commercial building. The roof and the siding of the building are being replaced and the sectors are locked during the repairs for the safety of the construction team. For this reason, we do not have an estimated resolution date as they will be able to work on the tower until the repairs of the building are completed.

      We provided ************** with a free month of service as a one-time courtesy for the difficulties she has experienced during this time.

      On 6/3/2024 I mistakenly made a payment to my wireless company without knowing I already made a payment on 5/30/2024. Minutes after realizing this, I reached out to Cricket Wireless (CW) by web chat and phone. I told them I already made this payment for **** on 5/30/24 can I be refunded for the second payment. At first they said they could not do this and it will be credited to next month payment. I stressed I needed that money to pay other bills, what else can be done and after some nudging they said I can file a claim with them.On **** 3rd I filed the claim and I received a text message from CW saying I will be refunded $40 within 3-5 business days. **** 11th, I called in because I still hadn't received my refund, yet *** ******* assured me they refunded it and the bank is what is holding it up. **** 20th, I called in again because I still hadn't received my refund, and now I wanted to see if I had all the information I needed because now I was gonna file a claim with my bank to find where this refund was. *** ******* said everything was done correctly on their end.I reached out to my bank same day to file a claim for **** 3rd.'s payment. Today, **** 24, 2024 when I tried to use my phone to make a call I found out it's been disconnected. I call into CW and spoke to *****/***** to see what happened. He tells me CW refunded me for May 30th and the bank refunded me for **** 3rd. Yet, I still don't show CW has refunded me at all. Just because their screen says so, doesn't make it true on my end.When I filed the dispute on **** 3rd with CW it was clear that I was requesting the refund for **** 3rd & not May 30th. The *** even mentioned that if I refund you - your account will be disconnected & I said why when I double paid, your refunding today's payment. The *** corrected themselves & saw my point. It seems to me they entered the wrong ********** I'm in the situation I'm in. Now to restore service it's $71.67 which I gonna have to pay to keep my phone number.

      Dear ********** ************ correspondence is in response to a complaint filed by *********************************. In her complaint, ********************** asserts she made a double payment to Cricket Wireless on May 30, 2024, and June ******. She reached out to Cricket Wireless customer care to request a refund and after stressing that she needed the money to pay other bills, it was explained that she could file a claim. She was informed via text message she would receive her $40 refund within 3 - 5 business days. Despite assurances from customer service representatives, she faced delays and confusion regarding the refund.The confusion resulted in her phone service being disconnected, requiring an additional payment to restore it on June 24, 2024. She contacted customer service again and the representative explained that Cricket Wireless refunded her the payment she made on May 30, 2024, and that her financial institution refunded the payment she made on June 3, 2024. ********************** is requesting a refund of $40 and the additional payment she made to restore her account from suspension.

      We contacted ********************** on July 1,2024, to discuss her complaint. Upon reviewing her account, we found that on June 3, 2024, a payment reversal ticket was submitted from Cricket Wireless for the sum of $40 to her account and on June 23, 2024, a second payment reversal was submitted to her account from her financial institution for the sum of $40. The latest generated an outstanding pending balance of $71.67 on her Cricket Wireless account, suspending her service. We explained to her that when the second payment was reversed, it caused an immediate pending balance, leading to her line being suspended and additional fees being applied to her account.

      We confirmed she had processed a payment of $71.67 on June 24, 2024, to restore her service. ********************** informed us she received the $40 first payment reversal to her bank account and the second payment reversal of $40 was recovered and applied to her Cricket Wireless account on June 27, 2024, generating a positive balance on her account.


      We informed ********************** that the last payment of $71.67 she processed to restore her Cricket Wireless account had been successfully refunded to the same method of payment she used. She confirmed her concern was clarified and resolved.

While I can at this time confirm the a refund of $71.67, I'm still waiting to see if the $40 will be credited to this month's bill. However CW's mediator gave me his number if payment doesn't follow through.

      Thank You,
      **********************

      Dear ********** ************ correspondence is in response to a complaint filed by *************************. In her complaint, ****************** states that she purchased a new phone from a Cricket Wireless store, and during the payment process, she inserted her bank card into the credit card machine and received an approval message. However, the computer system crashed at that moment and the store representative was unable to print a receipt. She was informed that without a receipt, the purchase could not be completed, and she was assured that the money would be refunded to her bank account after midnight. She went to the bank to check her statement and discovered that her payment had not been returned. She contacted Cricket Wireless Headquarters and informed them about the system crash, but they seemed unaware of the issue. Additionally, her bank statement shows that $312.68 was deducted from her account. ****************** would like to be refunded the amount that has not been credited back to her bank account.

      We contacted ****************** on June 28,2024, to discuss her complaint. She confirmed that the funds taken out of her bank account were refunded on June 23, 2024, and that she was able to purchase the desired device from the same ********************** authorized retail store.However, she expressed dissatisfaction with the information she was given since the pre-authorized charge took longer than twenty-four business hours to be refunded. We processed a courtesy credit on her account, due to her experience.

      We want to assure ****************** that Cricket Wireless takes pride in our customer experience and is committed to providing excellent customer service. We shared with her that we have escalated her experience to the executive leadership team from the location. We assured her they would investigate further and address her concerns with the manager and representative.


      Regards,

      Cricket Wireless
