Poor customer service
This is the poorest excuse for a cell phone company ever. Their service sucks. Their customer service is a joke. Why are they all from INDIA? Why can NONE of them speak English? Even in the Cricket stores, they are all foreign. And here is my biggest bitch with them-why do they accept CASH ONLY??? Is it because if they are unexpectedly deported they can take their cash with them??? I am canceling all 4 of my lines and going to a REAL cell phone company. Do yourself a favor, STAY AS FAR AWAY FROM CRICKET AS YOU CAN. THEY SUCK.

Unhappy Cricket Customer

Customer Service
The problem that I am having is; I purchased a phone for my son that is in school in Indiana and I live in Houston, TX. I wanted Cricket to put my son’s phone and my phone number on one account so that I could pay for them both at one time. That was apparently too hard for Cricket to perform the first time. Therefore, I called customer service to fix the problem and they said that I had to call back in a month to cancel the service and then put both phones on one account. I did what Cricket customer service asked me to do. The next month, my son’s phone was turn off because; they said his bill was due on a different date from mind. I told Cricket customer service that was not correct because I called your customer service to have my son’s phone put on my account to pay on the same billing day.
Cricket customer service told me that my son’s phone billing date was different from my billing date and I need to pay a $15.00 reconnection fee for my son’s phone. I asked to speak to a supervisor about the situation. I then waited on hold for about 45 minutes. The supervisor never answered the phone and the Cricket customer service representative told me that I would still have to pay the $15.00 reconnect fee. I told the Cricket customer service representative that I refuse to pay a fee for something that was not my fault. I later called Cricket that day to talk to another Cricket service representative about the situation and then she put me on hold to talk with someone else in customer service to help me. Then the person that answered the phone hanged up the phone on me. Later, someone in customer service blocked my cell phone from calling to talk to a live person in customer service with Cricket. I’ve used Cricket cell phone service for over seven years and there customer service is the worst that that I have ever experience. I guest the best thing for me to do now is switch to T-Mobile like I should have done in the first place.

It's a bad customer service company
Okay, for some reason, at least once in a year there are charges like $100 or $130 or whats over on our phone bill. During November 2008, a paper came in the mail saying that we owe $130; it's $100 dollars for something and $30 service charge. We had no idea what it is, the next couple of days we received a text message saying something like, "You're being charged $30"; both of our phones stopped working. So we went and paid that $30 at the Cricket store. We asked what was the additional $100 for, all she could say was, "I don't know." Well, there was no reasonable explanation, she could've atleast called the real Cricket company and take her time to ask for us. But since she was being such a stuckup! So anyways, we paid that $30. She told us we owe $100, well, a month later the bill came and it was still $130. We went back and complained to her that we already paid the freakin' $30, why are we still being charged the same?! And again, all she said was, "i don't know." So whatever, we paid it to her, and we thought this would stop. But nope! Read what happened next.
The same day, we ask her to take off the extra $5 roaming minute off both of our phone. I don't know what she did, but she took off the credit card's automatic payment. Soon, our bill came up to over $160.
Okay, I don't know what's wrong with Cricket, but their customer service is so bad. We did not ask her to take off our automatic credit card payment but she did, and I guess she wasn't being honest. And I don't why Cricket will sometimes charge you so much...no explanation, no reasons too.
Also, when you call to complain to the company it don't even work. You can even call it right now 1-800-cricket All it suggest is just, "Go visit your local cricket wireless store"
