I lost my phone, cancelled my service online to find out they did not have a replacement phone to send me. So I called their toll free number 1-888-321-5880 to request any unused money to be returned to me. I was told that they don't return any money. This is STEALING, no matter how you classify it. At the same time they did not have a replacement phone to send me as well. Again this is stealing from consumers who have limited income.

What's this?
Workers' Compensation Insurance is paid entirely by the employer. No payroll deductions are taken out of individual employees' paychecks. Social Security is for retirement period. Now if an individual becomes disables then they can apply for SSDI (SSI) for disability. This is totally different than Workers Comp Susan - btw my name is STACEY.

What should I do if I lose my Assurance Wireless phone? Don't panic. Take another look around and try to find your phone. If you still can't locate your phone, let us know right away and we'll suspend service. That way, once your service is suspended, no one can use your remaining balance. We can help you get a replacement phone. We usually can have it to you in just a few days, and we'll transfer any remaining balance in your account to your replacement phone.
Since you are on W/C (which you stated) what is the nature of your "disability" that prevents you from working? Do you know who payes for W/C? Your previous employer not you so get over how you pay taxes - you are getting monies that your employer paid into the system not you.

Entitlement run amuck
AUTHOR: Robert - (U.S.A.)

You are being treated just like any other "Pre-Paid" phone customer. I have yet to see a Pre-Paid plan that returns any unused money..once you put the money on the account that is where it stays until it is used. I have also yet seen any plans that will give you a new phone if you loose your phone.
I paid cash for my minutes with a credit card not a "damn minute card
- You paid "cash" with a "credit card"? Exactly how does that work? '
Well if you did in fact pay with a credit card and think that you were "wronged" by Assurance, why not file a dispute with your Credit Card company? Let us know what they say after they finish laughing at you.
Can you please tell me when it became an "entitlement" to provide Cell Phones to people on limited incomes?

Stacy, ask before you assume.. fyi, I am not on any form of Public Assistance! I am on Workers Compensation due to on the job injury. Assurance is not only for people on welfare. Its for people with limited income as well. FYI. I worked many years on the middle corporate level as well, I too contributed to society of my "hard earned money". I paid cash for my minutes with a credit card not a "damn minute card". So my money was indeed stolen from me! My Money that I, not you worked for!

This service is for people on WELFARE and paid for by my hard earned money!!! I pay property taxes, school taxes and other taxes pertaining to owning a home. I PAY for my cell phone service. The only one stealing is YOU the op! Stealing my hard earned money - you can afford internet service then buy your own damn phone and get a job!

Really, this is a free to you cell phone with 250 minutes. What did you pay? $5.00 for 500 minutes or $20.00 for 1000 minutes and 1000 text messages.
I want that plan and if I was you would buy a phone from them to replace the one you lost, that taxpayers bought for you. You qualified for that, are you online now on the Connect America Fund?
