I have has NOTHING but trouble with these people. Right from the start it takes forever on the phone after few choices on the automated system to get  a live advisor, which are from another country, though they might speak english they say "i understand when they dont. My last gig  I had to replace once again a cheap phone I got. I had limited time for internet bieng I did not have it at home and was working overtime. I forgot to send the old phone back right away  so I get a 4 day warning that they are truning off my phone. I call and told them I lsot the envelope. I aske dfor an extension for i didnt know i neede to get in back in 30 days. HE says its electronic and cant do it, they need to scan upon getting phone. I was told it would be quicker to mail myself then to wait fro them to send another prepaid envelope. I did $1.56 they had mentioned tracking but i asked what the h*ll does it matter since you wont do anything unitl you get it. Big mistake. I was in WI they are in IN maybe 300 miles at best. 3dqays later no service 5 days later no service I called both times and got this crap about tracking #. the second time i lied  and said i lost it. Point is I know it had to get there and this time unlike the last time I included the order# on a piece of paper I wrapped around it.  So it loosk like they jsut throw it away if they dont get an "officlal" envelope. They cant connect me with the office in IN. 


I finally asked  can I just pay for rhe d*mn thing so i can use the service i am paying for? BTW they alsotold me they dont credit time lost! So she finds out..yes. $10.. NOw I am really pissed.WHY DIDNT THE FIRST GUY OFFER ME A DEOPOSIT OF 10 so I could USE MY PHONE!!!  So she assures me its activated and I paid for a mnew month. Doesnt work..called back seveal times difernet ways to make it work..nothing..Now I am tired of this crap so I tell them I want my money backfor my service and phone. I was told it sjows I have 800 minutes of time used..WHAT!!!  I said I looked on internet and shwed the #s i called and 0 next to minutes ..whch ofcourse was true..it would just ring to virgin mobile. So I wait while he checks stuff out..I guess your right but it is going to have to go through investigation" BS I said..you didnt suply a service and i am not paying for it! I had another phone which I replaced before because i couldnt wait. that one I nver read the very hidden print between there overmarketed crap on the paper to see that i needed to include an order # in the envelope. So that made 2 phones that i neer got credit for. I finally got paid for the month but am stil out the $10 for the phone. STAY AWAY!Iif you want no contract and good service for cheap, after the phone didnt work i got a (((competitor's name redacted))) phone, for $45 I got unlimited and free 411  got it at walmart. Decnt (((redacted))) phone for $30. I can actually say I am happy.I have no idea about cust service..havent needed it. Its that VONby the minute,in a month plan i guess they use other services towers. and i got service through Montana and North Dakota which Ionly got with Verizon..another story..they are the WORSE..I owe them $1100 o a 300 bill..figure that out!

sorry, allowing you to give a competitors name would instigate others to just file against their competition, to only come back later to suggest their company, ..plus, if you post a competitors name more than likely they will show up on search engines as a Rip-off! - - your comments on this policy are welcome.
