      I wish could it 0 stars. Anyways I order a *** card kit from this bogus company with the janky phone and services, I paid ***** on 10/02/23 and I received the *** card in the mail to my address. So I received the *** card and put it into my phone and soon I went to activate the *** card is was locked, they didnt set up a cricket wireless account for me, I didnt have a pin access code and the *** card was broken and defected. I went to cricket wireless on 10/04/23 and was there for 3 hours cause the young gentleman lied and said he could fix it when he couldnt and explained your company sold me a broke defected *** card offline and he said we apologize but it is nothing we could do about it. I said well can I get a replacement *** card since this one doesnt work in my iPhone 13 and he said you have to purchase another one Now why would I spent another ***** for the same exact problem to happen all over again, they really think people stupid and dont know what they doing. They are very slick and also BEWARE they SCAM and stole money out of my US BANK account when I provided documentation and proof of everything of the charges and *** card not working and me going inside of they company. I want my ***** back into my account. I never had a problem with any phone company like this one here beside ******** and Cricket wireless worst phone company ever honestly need be shutted down, sued. But it is explains why they have a major lawsuit on them though.

      bought a phone two weeks ago and it is defective...the store where I bought it did nothing to replace it...not a cheep phone and I got no help at all. I called customer service...they said go to the original store...called the original store and they said too bad so sad go through the manufacturer which I tried to do....they said too bad so sad you will have to pay a bunch more money to get us to send a new one...Now I am stuck...I have been with Cricket for over 12 years...even recommended it to friends...definitely switching to somewhere else say bye bye to a good customer.

      If you're willing to waste much ********* then Cricket Wireless has you covered! Bought a Cricket phone, accessories, service plan at ******** only to waste not only my $, but 4 days worth my time just trying to get it activated which never happened! I was shuffled from online support, back to ******** Cricket customer service, then to a local ******************** store, only to end up right back at ******* returning everything I purchased 4 days earlier, with exception to the "$50 service plan card, which are non refundable! Soooo, it cost me $50+ tax, to purchase a phone I couldn't activate, after dealing with every possible customer service, support, etc. available for 4 days, only to end up right back where I started 4 days earlier, with no phone still, & out $50 for a service plan that I cannot even use, & 4 days of wasted time, & still without a phone!!! I don't understand how this company can possibly still be in business with this sort of treatment of consumers, & potential customers that they have definitely lost this potential customer for ever! So if you're looking to purchase a cell **************** Do yourself a huge favor, forget Cricket Wireless even exists, unless you have much ******** to lose!!!

      I have spoken to cricket on several occasions and they over charged me and refuse to refund the extra $60.00 . I am on a fixed income and that was money of the other bills. I just want them to do the right thing and give me the money back

      On cricketwireless.com it gives you instructions on how to unlock your phone. These instructions are Sign in, go to Account Settings tab and select Get Code.Scroll down to locate the number of the phone you'd like to unlock.Select Request Unlock.The unlock code will be displayed on screen, as well as texted to your device. See next steps below. When you follow it's steps all the way to "request unlock" it then pops a banner on top of the website saying you HAVE to use the app. However, the app crashes. It won't open at all. I uninstalled and reinstalled the app. Rebooted the phone several times. My boyfriend's mom went to the Cricket store in *************** and they weren't able to help her either. She called twice waiting 20 minutes both times with no answer.

      I have been a cricket customer for a couple of years now and have never been more dissatisfied in my life. They knowingly sold me a defective phone and are trying to charge me minimally $100 to upgrade a defective device. I pay for top notch service and get less than what I pay for. If they do not fix this issue and give me a free upgrade, I will file a formal complaint with the BBB.

      1 star is to much. I have a bank statement where on 8/17 i made a payment to cricket on 8/18 my phone was shut off so i paid an additional *****. **** of which was reactivation charge. I got a text message saying that my bill was due on 9/17. There should be a ***** credit. And my phone will be shut off at midnight. I can't get any help either in stores or from customer service. I have the bank statement proving it was paid twice. And cricket does not care or will the correct thier mistake.

      I think this company is totally unethical. I paid cash for my phone service didn't work at home(data) went to a different provider they refuse to unlock my phone unless I'm with them 6 months. So I can't do anything with it ever.

      I have been with Cricket for several years. I would love to understand why my cell phones are unlocked. I just bought a SIM Card last week and immediately my phone was hacked into. I began to start downloading my apps and I could see that it was hacked into. This an alarming storm as it keeps me vulnerable and every client you have that this product you are selling is not protected. It keeps a paying customer vulnerable and exploits our rights of privacy. Now that my phones are ALWAYS unlocked, I can pull my SIM card out of one phone and place it on another and that phone number will ring to the number that SIM card is assigned to. Cricket has the capability to secure our privacy but, in this case, has dramatically failed to do so.
