      Re: **** ********


      Dear ****************

      This correspondence is in response to a complaint filed by **** ********. In her complaint, Ms. ******** states that her son purchased a wireless charger from Cricket Wireless due to a malfunctioning charging port with his device. The charger unexpectedly caught fire, resulting in 2nd to 3rd-degree burns on her son and damage to their property. Despite providing ***** with multiple pictures of the aftermath and discharge papers from the burn center, she feels that both Cricket Wireless and ***** are not addressing the issue adequately, as ***** continues to request more pictures and the charger to be sent to them, which has already been discarded due to the fire. Additionally, she incurred a cost of $266.88 for a new device through her protection plan, further compounding her frustration with the lack of resolution.

      We contacted Ms. ******** on January 10, 2025, to discuss her complaint. We explained to Ms. ******** that we would require additional information to further investigate her concern,including the receipt or date of purchase. Ms. ******** shared she did not have much time to discuss this and confirmed she would attempt to obtain the information requested to send it via email once available.

      We contacted Ms. ******** on January 14, 2025. Ms. ******** informed us she had not been able to obtain the information because her son was currently unavailable, and the details of the purchase are in his possession. We advised her we would further escalate her concern using her account and sons ********************** number to look for any invoices available related to the purchase of the wireless charger.

      On January 18, 2025, we contacted Ms. ******** again and explained that the outcome of the investigation did not show information related to a wireless charger on any of the receipts associated with her account. We informed her we would need proof of the purchase of the wireless charger to further investigate her complaint. She shared with us that her son has not confirmed when would he be able to provide us with the information required. Ms. ******** agreed to contact *****, Cricket Wireless Office of the ********* Manager, at ************** as soon as she has the information available.

      On Sat, the 28th of Dec 2024. I placed an order to become a cricket wireless customer and switch my number from *******. I was to recieve my package ok mon, the 30th of Dec 2024. When I arrived home on that day and opened the already damaged package, I came to find there was no phone inside. I immediately reported to *** and contacted cricket the next morning. Before contacting cricket I had to go to ******* and have my number transferred back to ******* from Cricket because cricket already had ported my number. So we was only the phone with cricket(******* & myself) having them give us the account number and a transfer pin because at this point I had no active phone hence why I was at *******. After I am done and have my bumber back with ******* I call cricket and try to explain all of this and demand a refund because they charged me $152.09 for the phone and 2 months worth of service! They refused me and refund. So your telling me Im out $152.09 while I never recieved a phone or be able to use the service they sold me!? Absolutely not!

      I was sold a defective headphones. and store refused to refund or exchange due to there preference on whether they could hear the issue I, expressed to them about the product, after purchasing the headphones, I could start to hear static through the audio. Also at certain points, the headphones would have a odd sound like air was coming through them. Also while listening to them one of the headphones would go out.. and I could only hear audio through one side. Less than 24 hours later I let the store manager know about the issue and she said if there was an issue with them then I would be able to return them. When I went to the store to do the return she put them in here ear, and said she did not here the static, immediately after I put them in my ear and I could definitely still here the static, she did not want to do the return. Since they would not get credit for them. and that's not fair to the customer, I'm not out of 140 dollars and stuck with headphones that are defective. I don't want to make a huge issue. I've been nice about it , I simply want to refund. It's been less than 24 hours and this not fair. Just want the company to help.

      Re: ****** ********


      Dear ****************

      This correspondence is in response to a complaint filed by ****** ********. In his complaint, Mr. ******** states that he was sold defective headphones at a Cricket Wireless authorized retail store, where he was assured that he could return them if any issues arose.After experiencing static, odd sounds, and audio loss in one ear within 24 hours of purchase, he reported the problem to the store manager. However, upon attempting to return the headphones, the store tested the device and claimed there was no issue, ultimately refusing to process a refund or exchange. *********** is requesting a refund or exchange for the defective headphones.

      We contacted Mr. ******** on January 11, 2025, to discuss his complaint. Mr. ******** informed us he is not a Cricket Wireless customer and visited the store just to purchase the headphones. We explained to Mr. ******** that accessories purchased from a Cricket Wireless authorized retailer are subject to that authorized retailers return policy and informed him we would not be able to provide him with a refund and/or exchange. Mr. ******** stated that he received different expectations at the time of purchase. We advised him we would escalate his experience with the leadership of the store location to further investigate his concern.

      On January 17, 2025, we contacted Mr. ******** and shared with him that the outcome of the investigation performed with the store leadership confirmed that after testing the headphones, no issues were detected. Furthermore, since the stores policy states that accessory sales are final and even though no issues were identified, they offered him a discount on the purchase of a new pair of headphones, which was rejected.

      Mr. ******** requested a free device and a free service activation as compensation for the inconvenience he experienced. We explained to Mr. ******** we are unable to provide him with a free device and offered to assist him with the activation of service at no cost as a one-time exception, but he declined our offer.

      Dear **********

      This correspondence is in response to a complaint filed by ******* ******. In her complaint, Ms. ****** states that she experienced a service outage during New Years Eve while she was at an airport, which caused several inconveniences with her trip, including missing her flight. She states that she has already contacted the Cricket Wireless customer care department, but she was told that they could only refund $5.00. Ms. ****** is looking for compensation because of this issue.

      We contacted Ms. ****** on January 8, 2025, to discuss her complaint. Ms. ****** confirmed that the issue occurred in **************. After reviewing the status of the towers in that area and within the time provided, we confirmed that there was a network incident that severely affected multiple towers in the area. The network was restored by January 1, 2025.

      We informed Ms. ****** that as outlined in the Cricket Wireless terms and conditions of service, we do not guarantee specific network capability or speeds as the service might be affected by multiple external factors such as terrain,weather, and buildings. Additionally, service payments are non-refundable. Full terms and conditions can be found at: ******************************************.

      We offered and applied a credit to Ms. ******* account for the time without service. She confirmed that she did not need any additional assistance from Cricket Wireless.

      Dear **********

      This correspondence is in response to a complaint filed by ****** *****. In his complaint, Mr. ***** states he attempted to contact the Cricket Wireless customer care center, and the Interactive Voice Response system (***) was unable to assist him and that it was nearly impossible to reach a customer care representative. He states the *** system disconnected the phone calls while he was waiting, Mr. ***** requests assistance to resolve this issue.

      We contacted Mr. ***** on January 13, 2025, to discuss his complaint. After reviewing his account, Mr. ***** expressed concerns regarding his four lines,which he explained he is not the user of any of them as the users are his children and parents. He added that he is the sole person responsible for payments on the Cricket Wireless account. Mr. ***** reported difficulties in accessing his online account due to a verification code that he could not receive since he does not use any of the wireless numbers associated with the account.

      We explained to Mr. ***** that to connect with a customer care agent, he must provide one of the wireless numbers on the account and the correct 4-digit PIN for authentication, we also recommended him the use of the QuickPay option on the Cricket Wireless website without signing in. We clarified the purpose of Multi-Factor Authentication (***) for the account online and the myCricket app, the *** enhances account security by requiring a second method of authentication alongside the username and password, which includes sending a verification code via text.

      We explained to Mr. ***** that he can bypass the Multi-Factor Authentication, choosing the "Do not ask me again" option. We shared that while this option is checked ON by default in the My Cricket app, there are instances where the system may still prompt for *** revalidation, such as when a user upgrades the device or clears browser cache. We explained to him that these measures are in place to protect his information and prevent unauthorized access to his account. Mr. ***** requested that this information be shared via email, we outlined this above information in an email to him. Mr. ***** confirmed not to have any other questions regarding his case.

This includes issues with a refill card that she purchased, which she claims does not work despite having funds on it. In addition, she reports poor reception in ******,**********, where she only receives one bar, making it nearly impossible to make calls from her apartment. She mentions the challenges of reaching customer service, often spending 30 to 40 minutes on the phone without being able to speak to a live representative.

      On April 10th 2024, I paid ****** I purchased a brand new iphone 12 model after ***** promised me the phone will be unlocked after 3 months (I confirmed this with her many times before I made the purchase) of using Cricket service. But I accidentally found out about what she told me was a lie after I spoke to Cricket customer service. ******************** customer service told me it supposed to be 6 months. Also I found out from another Cricket store that ***** charged me for accessories that was not supposed to be charged to me. It was free as part of the discount deal. I was told that the store manager ******* was going to call me back to resolve this dispute but she never called me back . So the remedies I am asking her is that Cricket to unlock my phone unconditionally and refund the accessory money .The store clerk Airam did not speak English and the whole transaction was communicated via translation software but I was sure that she knew the difference between 3 months and 6 months. I felt she was purposedly trying to trick me into buying it. The store address is *************************************** and their phone number is **********

He expressed his concerns regarding the misleading information provided by our sales representative about the unlock policy and the charges for accessories that were supposed to be free. We confirmed to him that we would escalate his experience with our executive leadership that works with this authorized retail location and assured him they would complete an internal investigation. 

      We confirmed the Terms and Conditions for device unlocks with Mr. ***** Additionally, we recommended that he activate his iPhone 12 for at least one more month to unlock the device as a one-time exception, we offered him a free month of service, and a credit of $75.00 for the accessories he never requested. We assisted him in creating a new Cricket Wireless account, and explained the payment cycle information while advising him to contact us upon his return to ***************** for eSIM activation and unlocking as he stated that he is currently ************ **** confirmed his intention to remain as a Cricket Wireless customer.

      Should Mr. **** still require assistance upon his return to *****************, he is encouraged to contact ******, Cricket Wireless Office of the ********* Manager, at ***************

      Re: ****** *******


      Dear ****************

      This correspondence is in response to a complaint filed by ****** *******. In his complaint, Mr. ******* states that Cricket Wireless withdrew $250 from his bank account on February 1, 2021. After contacting customer support for a refund on March 4, 2021, he was informed that the money would be returned; however, he later discovered a negative balance for the same amount. Furthermore, on April 5, 2021, when he decided to switch to T-Mobile, Cricket Wireless allegedly informed his bank that he had utilized their services for three months instead of two months and a few days of the third month.

      We contacted Mr. ******* on January 13, 2025, to discuss his complaint. We informed him that after researching his wireless number, we discovered that his account was archived due to the time it has passed since it was cancelled in April 2021. We explained to Mr. ******* that as set forth in the Cricket Wireless Terms and Conditions of Service, payments are non-refundable, transferable, or redeemable for cash. Additionally, we informed him that there is only six months from the payment date to dispute a charge.

      Mr. ******* understood this information and we offered him the option to return to Cricket Wireless without any activation costs as a one-time courtesy. Mr. ******* shared with us that he still has service lines with T-Mobile but stated he will consider our offer and contact us directly if he decides to open an account with Cricket Wireless in the future.
