Charged my account without my permission to do so. Said I was on autopay..never set that up..lied when I started the account..charged me 5 extra dollars because I'm not on autopay but took it from my account anyway.Called and spoke to them and they said they have my signature but won't email me that information.

I bought a cell phone from this company a iPhone 14 pro. Not only did the phone not come there company did not know where it was. They constantly lied to me and told me to wait it was coming. After 10 business day and me still not receiving the phone. The employees were rude and not helpful. Instead of offering another device they told me they were canceling my order and returning my money. They did not offer a new device like they said. Im still waiting on my refund and an apology for assuming they would be a helpful company. My overall experience was very off putting. I feel like they do not care about the the consumer they state in there nameConsumer Cellular

My experience with consumer cellular. I took my phone asked if they can connect. The guy said yes. I had to buy a Sim card. Phone could never be connected. I was charged SIM card $6.63 and $25.61. Never had a working phone to make phone calls or receive phone calls. I wanted credit on at least the $25.61. Consumer Cellular would not credit.BEWARE.Consumer Cellular

I bought a smartphone from consumer Cellular in April of 2022 In June of 2023 it started smoking when I try to charge it. They said it's out of warranty so they can't refund my money and I still owe $40 on it and they say I have to pay that. Terrible cell phone terrible service.Consumer Cellular

My wife and I have been with Consumer Cellular for two years now. Our rates are lower than any competitor and over the course of 30 years, we've tried almost every one of them.The customer service is outstanding. We're one text or phone call away from getting answers.Overall, we're happy.Consumer Cellular

Disgraceful customer service **** the incompetent supervisor should be ashamed of himself. I have a phone for my senior step dad and he sadly Was placed in a nursing home back in March 2023, has not been home since. I called and explained this, they said no problem we will credit back the phone payment since no usage since March, but call us back when you have the cell phone in hand we will document the account. Well **** today who should be ashamed of himself told me they will only give me a $10 credit because he has no documentation of me calling. So since his employee did not do her job properly I am being charged for 3 months service. He snickered and thought it was a joke, said its not his problem, but I wont be charged going forward. But the balance will remain on the account. This company is a joke and what they do to people is shameful. I will never use them ever again and I suggest you dont as well. They are disrespectful and for a supervisor to laugh and snicker was the final straw. I did not even want the money back for the month that I paid that had no usage. All I wanted was for them to wipe clean the last three months since the phone was not being used and he offered a $10 credit they take advantage of the older generation, and they really should re-evaluate their employees and their customer service skills. I will never recommend this company to anybody they can offer me the service for free and I still would not take it. They should be ashamed of themselves. This company is nothing but a joke. If I could leave a negative star rating, I would.Consumer Cellular

I've been trying to switch from consumer cellular to another company as their service is not good in my area and they won't release my phone number to transfer it... that I transferred to them to begin with. When I signed up for the service they quoted me a cheaper price than I had with my previous company and it ended up being higher and worse service!!! Don't use this company!Consumer Cellular
