Cricket Communications Crocket Communications what a RIP OFF Internet

This company really is terrible. Switching from Cricket to Verizon was the best thing I could have done.

Their CSR line is terrible. You have to jump through hoops to speak to a real person.

You can pay online for free, but if you pay over the phone (automated system) or in the store they charge you a fee. What kind of company charges you a fee to pay in their store?

My own little horror story has to do with the way they applied payments. I paid what I thought was my bill but I guess I was off by a couple of dollars. I don't remember how much. This was years ago. When I found out I still had a few dollars' balance, I paid the remaining balance. A couple of weeks later, before my next bill is due, my phone is shut off. I got a CSR (this was back when you could still speak to a real person at Cricket) who told me that my payment had been applied to the next month's bill. What? It wasn't even due yet, and was the exact amount remaining on the current month's bill. The CSR I was speaking to couldn't understand why I'd have a problem with this. I had to speak to a manager and after a while, become almost belligerent to get them to apply the payment to where it was intended. Neither the CSR nor the manager spoke decent English, by the way.

Yep, they're a terrible company.

 There is no help ever offered, only criticism.

What helpful rebuttals have YOU filed?  Didn't think you had...all you seem able to do is snipe at others....ROFLMAO.

Then why the mistery about contacting customer service. When their own Rep can not transfer you or does not know how to direct you to the department it just makes it a highly questionable practice.

They charge monthly fee's even if you did not use the service
- That is standard.  If you use zero or the maximum amount of minutes they are still maintaining an open account and will charge you accordingly.  This goes for every other carrier as well.

If you don't want to be charged then cancel your account.  Of course when you do you will probably loose your phone number unless you port it to another carrier first.
