On 1/9/14 I went on line to the cricket website to pay my January bill. I paid online, with my Mastercard debit card. There was an error message that said my payment didn't go through, so I called the customer service rep & made another payment over the phone. Each payment was for $36.00. On 1/11/14 I viewed my online statement & called the bank which confirmed that both payments were taken out of my account by Cricket. There was NOT a authorization hold for the 2nd payment as stated by Cricket. Both payments were taken out of the account by Cricket, who refused to refund the extra payment. The amount due for January was $36.00, however, I inadvertently paid $72.00 for January, despite the online error message, both payments went through.
I called the Cricket payment specialist department repeatedly & every operator refused to send a refund or give me the additional month credit for the additional payment taken of $36 taken out of my checking account.
Cricket refused to refund my money or give me a credit for the over payment. They are using deceptive business practices & are giving me the run around. A refund never comes from your bank as Cricket states, to get rid of your call. A refund always comes from the company.
My advice is, do not use Cricket. The customer service is terrible & it's very difficult to reach a person. Every time I called I had to wait on hold for over 30 minutes after going through voice mail hell. If you press 0 to try to reach a person your call is disconnected. Refusing to refund an overpayment & putting me through this is the last straw.
I'm out the money for the over payment & it will never be refunded to me by Cricket. They stole my money, & when I tried to get it back all I got was the run around & lots of frustration.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I just purchased this phone today and immediately discovered that the internet, for all practical purposes, does not connect. I paid for the highest priced package wanting to use the hot spot function and can hardly even reach Google. I have spoken with five service technicians, two of which got disconnected and one of which told me she would call back and never did. I want my money back for the service I could not use. I have been robbed.
I bought cricket phone on July 7. The receipt says I have 7 days to return. I tried to return phone July 12. She refused. She told me to call 611. I did. When person wanted to speak with her she refused. When person wanted her name she reused. She said phone was cracked. It's not. She said cord was unwrapped. She said phone was dirty. It's not. I filed complaint with 611. Said they would get back to me.

I signed up for Cricket 2 maybe three days ago and it's been awful ever since! I signed up for $55 plan. I have my own phone and I didn't need anything more. When it was time to pay my bill was $92 and change for one month of service! I couldn't believe it. When I looked at the receipt there was $15 for a SIM card and a $25 activation fee! This is without a hotspot. Since then my service has been mostly 2G, or slower! I can't even watch a movie or a video on my phone! Literally I can't get through without five ten minutes of buffering! You can call customer service and although they promise that you will talk to someone you never actually will talk to anyone! After all their long-winded [censored] the machine just hangs up on you. I am going to the store tomorrow to demand a refund. After only three days I wonder if they will refuse that too? Then they sent me a text asking for a review. They wanted to know if I would refer anyone to Cricket? Yes! If I really and truly hated someone then I would refer them to Cricket! CRICKET IS THE CARRIER FROM HELL! Do yourself a favor and just do something else. I suggest MINT MOBILE! They are the exact opposite I've Cricket service! even in the pandemic! I just got off a 6 month plan where I paid $20 a month with mint mobile. Pay in 3 months 6 months or a year stretches. But it was only $20 a month for 6 months. For just 26 more dollars I could have gotten six months of service instead of one month from cricket! CRICKET IS SCAMMING THE PUBLIC, OPENLY, WITHOUT ANY TYPE OF REMORSE! THE WHOLE BUSINESS IS A SCAM! ONCE YOU PAY, THEY DON'T CARE, AND YOU DON'T EVEN GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!
Hello, let me start by saying that what u experience is very frustrating and in your case I believe that thier is a fraud on thier end and dont Even bother calling 1800 cricket about any matter, the number to call is by calling the main headquarders and thier number is [protected] this number is pointing the issues that the costumers are encounting .
You paid twice with your mastercard... WHY didn't you just call your credit card company and have one of the charges reversed?
