Cricket Complaint - Horrible Customer Service

Complaint
Review by drownedfish5079 on 2011-12-26
PORTLAND, OREGON -- I paid in advance in October for my November bill. Cricket then contacted me saying they had not received my payment. I faxed them the confirmation of payment they sent to me and my bank statement showing the money was taken out of my account by Cricket. I then decided enough was enough and took my service to another company requesting a refund for my pre payment. This was on the day before Thanksgiving. I then was told I had to yet again fax the proof of payment over to them within 24 hours or I would not get my refund. I spent my holiday seeking a fax machine to fax this info over to them. It is now December 26th and I have not yet received my refund. Cricket states that I need to again fax over the proof of payment again in within 24 hours to get my refund. I had been a customer for years before this and am incredibly upset that they sent me a card in the mail statig that I need not worry about my past due charges if I want to come back to them. WHAT PAST DUE CHARGES? They owe me.

I am still waiting to find someone that likes Cricket. They must be out there but I have never heard from one.

They have a big presence in AZ, I know a few people who use them but they don't seem to have any good things to say bout them besides no contracts and cheap ok phones.

I gave my son a Cricket phone last year - it was the best and most affordable phone at the time. Yes, the customer service is terrible, coverage is sporadic and if you pay CASH, the retailer charges you ummmm 4 bucks. (Last I knew) BUT....for 35 a month, he had unlimited everything. It's hard to beat their pricing. PROS - Cheap and good phones CONS - Terrible, Horrible, Atrocious Customer service, charges for paying cash, sporadic coverage and lots of other complaints.

I bought one of their phones at Walmart when they were offering a rebate. I never got it.
