Terrible customer service
Complaint Rating:  100 % with 3 votes
On Jan 11 my phone froze up and would not work. It was 3 weeks old. I called AMP'D customer service. After being on hold for over an hour I finally got through. They told me that they would be sending me a new phone and I would receive it in 3 to 5 days. On Jan 19 the phone still had not arrived so I tried their on line chat. I was 96th in the queue and waited for an hour before I moved up to 85th. so I called and after waiting for 45 minutes on hold, I was told that the phone was on back order but would be sent out in two days and I would receive it in 3 to 5 days. On January 24 I called back and they said the phone had been shipped. Once again the phone never arrived. So I called again on February 3rd, I got a busy signal for over an hour. I tried the online chat but found I was 106 in the queue after an hour I was still 102. I continued to call as well and finally talked to a customer service rep. I was told that all the phones had just arrived and he had a letter from upper management to tell callers we would be receiving them on Monday the 5th. On Feb 7th I called back and I was told the phone was still on back order.

I have finally realized that their customer service is to tell you what ever they think you want to hear to get you off the phone. I was out and out lied to over and over again. I still do not have a phone and its been almost a month. I have spent more then 15 hours on the phone or waiting for their online chat. This has to be their corporate culture, and I hope it brings down thier company because they treat their customers with utter contempt.

I was told the EXACT SAME THING about 8 months ago when I signed up.

I got the Jet, had to replace it 3 times in the first 2 days, the first week Ampd said they would send out a new phone

Called a month later, "we dont have anything on that but well send you a phone".. a month later, then another..

Finally I was told that the phone was on backorder and I would not receive one, they gave me a credit for a new memory card as they said the card shipped is was makes the phone not work

GOOD LUCK GETTING YOUR PHONE!!!

They just charged me $50 in data and $280 in phone fees on a $50/m phone plan that I hardly use, my business with Ampd will be coming to an end shortly, time to dig out the contract and find a hole to escape out of.

I've been an Amp'd customer for a little over 1 month. I've had the need to call customer service several times to get questions answered regarding general feature usage. Phone calls into their system will have you on hold for 30-60 minutes before ever speaking with someone. While on hold, you must listen to incomplete recorded messages that cut each other off as well as commercials for television shows they are broadcasting on their network. In the time you spend on hold, you hear the same messages over and over and over.

If you choose to try an on-line chat, you'll be in a queue of 50 or more and I kept the chat window open all day waiting to speak with someone. 9 hours later I was 16 in queue down from 50. I went home never having chatted with anyone.

I tried emailing my questions and only ever received the same response back each time - apologizing for any problems I'm experiencing and asking me to call in on their customer service number if this has not solved my issue. The questions I asked were never addressed. I tried this method 3 different times with 3 different sets of questions and always got the same email in return. And that response took 5-6 days each time.

Client Logic is the customer service provider for Amp'd. Another glaring example of how outsourcing your business' customer service division is a very bad idea.

I signed up for the Hybrid plan, which never happened. I kept having to reload my phone with money about every two weeks ($50 each time). When I went on line to reload my phone, it wouldn't give me the option to pay online, so I called customer service. The person I spoke with was very polite and credited my account $60 while they were fixing the problem and told me I could call back if that wasn't enough. Well, about a week and a half later my phone was out of minutes, so I just decided to pay myself ($50). That only lasted about a week. I called customer service on Tuesday, July 3rd and was on hold for about 45 minutes when I finally got a customer service representative and was told that this was a technical support issue and they would transfer me. I was on hold for about 2 hours when I finally had to hang up and try again.

When I got home, I tried again and I was on hold for about an hour when I finally hung up and decided to try again later. Well, since it was July 4th, I waited until the 5th. I called at 7:30am, Pacific time and an answering machine said that they weren't open yet, so I waited. I called back at 9:00am and waited on hold for 30 minutes and explained my situation and was told that technical support would have to help me and that she would transfer me. I was immediately disconnected.

So, I called back again and was on hold for 45 minutes and explained my situation. I was told that it would be best if I called back the next day to avoid wait times. I told her to disconnect my service and I wanted to speak to a supervisor. After a ten minute wait, I was connect to a supervisor who had gotten the information from the representative. I told him that it was ridiculous that I was told to try back tomorrow. He apologized and said he was going to connect me to technical services. After about 20 minutes, my call was disconnected.

Again, I called back. After being on hold for about 20 minutes, I got through to customer service, again. I asked immediately to speak to a supervisor and again I was told I would be transfered to technical support and that the customer service rep would wait on the line until I got into the technical support cue (not actually connected with technical support rep). After about an hour, I finally spoke with a technical support rep, who put me on hold to update the previous account. Finally I was able to tell her my problem and the line went dead, but I was in it for the long haul and figured that until I got the busy sound, I was going to stay on hold. After a long wait (more than an hour) she finally came back on the line. I started this at 9:00am and I just hung up with the technical support rep at 12:45pm with a 1000 extra minutes and my account fixed.

That was the worst case of customer support that I have ever seen.
