Assurance Wireless Assurance lifeline assistance program

We helped my elderly mom apply for a phone at least twice. Gathered all of the information, support documentation, got copies, etc. Applied, then for months heard nothing. They said they hadn't received anything. So we tried again. This time we decided to send application online to make sure that it didn't/couldn't get lost in the mail or anything. Months later, still heard nothing. So we decided to call and check on the application. When we tried to explain to the customer rep that we had already sent an application and heard nothing back, she was trying to verify information and didn't seem like she could find it. She said some other things, but we couldn't understand what she was saying because of her accent and she was speaking really fast. We told her we sent the application and haven't heard anything about the application, after a few minutes, the rep said something like "one moment" then we heard an auto voice that said "you've called after hours" and then it hung up. It was about 3 pm in the day. We immediately called back. We got another rep. We told him how we had submitted an application online, and he asked for info such as name and address and said on his end it showed no application was sent. I told him when we sent it. He told us he'd send another application to us. We asked him what could have caused their system to lose the application or for it not to go through when we sent it. My mom told him she had already applied twice but each time they never seem to get the application. She asked to speak to a supervisor. The man asked why. And she reiterated, she felt something was wrong because she keeps sending applications but they never seem to get it. She asked to speak to the supervisor calmly at least three times. Then we heard click. The rep HUNG Up. That was extremely RUDE, disrespectful to my elderly mom who only wanted to know what was going on with her application. I knew right then, we did not want to use this service. Something is not right here. If you are going to have a phone with a company, you want to have good, knowledgeable courteous customer service and reps who you can understand what they are saying. If we are having this problem before even getting a phone with their service, I can't imagine how it would be having a phone and needing their help!

Assurance Wireless Bad customer service

Gotten approved for a phone since May 2019 it's not 3 months later still no phone. I've spoken to several "Supervisors" which did me no justice. As soon as I asked for the number to corporate they stated there's no number so basically I have to deal with them. I go online to do some research just to see they have nothing but bad reviews. Worst customer service ever

Assurance Wireless Cell service

In December of 2018 I received in assurance wireless phone number . That phone did not work so I was sent a return label to return the phone. I returned the phone.

Nobody offered to send me a new phone.

5 months later, A friend told me that I could have gotten a replacement phone. So I called Assurance Wireless and asked them if they could please send me a new phone.

That woman verified that they had received my first defective phone back in December 2018 and sent me a new phone, waiving the $5 fee. After 2 months of having my new phone, my service has been shut off and my account has been suspended.

Now assurance Wireless is telling me that they never received my original return 7 months ago!

This is not possible.

The woman who sent me the new phone verified that it had been received.

Why would Assurance send me a new phone if they hadn't verified that they had received my old phone 5 months prior? Why am I now being disconnected 7 months after returning my phone?

I am disabled and I need this phone to be able to dial for emergency services and I am holding Assurance Wireless liable if I am not able to call for emergency services.

Please turn my phone back on.

I was told this was sent to an escalation Department. Please ask the escalation Department to turn my phone back on.

Assurance Wireless Cellular device

I'm being held liable for cell phone that I was not notified, by CSR, nor written notification to be returned. It was not until I notified Assurance of the problem, that a letter was sent informing to return the phone. Still the letter did not hv instructions, no return labels, NOTHING! on how, who, or where to return phone. I even have sent an email requesting information on how to return the phone. Only response I received was asking for my address. I returned email with my address (noting that my address is already on file). This have been 30+ days and I still HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY INFO TO HOW RETURN PHONE.
I'm asking that this matter be given to senior management or a complaint team. It's been since 4/2019. Josie Edwards or [protected]@ymail.com

Assurance Wireless zte cell phone

For the past serverl months I can hardly make any calls or texts it seems like I never have enough bars to do anything, one minute there's 1/2 bars but never enough for a call or tex I rely on this for my teens in case of an emergency, since I've been with you guys I have never had these issues and now I do.not sure if there's not enough cell towers in my area, but the only time I seem that I can do anything is in the evening if I'm lucky with that, if I have 1 bar I still don't have enough to call or tex, right now I can't even use my phone at all like I said it's never been this bad,

Assurance Wireless Suspension of phone service

I have a government phone and Service provided by the Assurance Company. My service has been suspended since the begining of June 2019.
my phone was replaced and I received the new phone I then informed the Company that I did not receive the returning envelop, I provided my po box for the envelop to be sent, they took my po box address, in May 2019 I called again that I did not receive the returning envelop into into my po box, I was told that they sent it but would not give me any info about the tracking number where did they send it, instead I was told to wait some more days, which I did. Ten days later I called again that I did not receive the returnig envelop in which I will send the damaged phone, they told me to provide the residential address, I told them that you already sent it as I spok earlier with one of the represetative which I did not receive and I informed the Company, and the second thing is that its just the envelop not the phone you can send it to my po box which I can receive securely and easily they said no we need the residential address or your service will be suspended. My service is suspended illigally therefore, it must be immidiatly restored or the FCC will be informed about this issue.
I am asking the Assurance Company Vergin Island that my service must be rsetored or I will take this issue to the FCC, the Assurance Company represetatives must tell the truth to its customers and our call must not be transfered to another country as we applied from the US then we need to speak on the phone with some one in the US not out-routed to a different country.
My phone number is [protected]
Address: PO Box 1146, New York NY 10163 USA.

Assurance Wireless imx phones and customer service

I made the mistake of going back to assurance well I got the imx phone. Charger went out first week was told they don't replace chargers buy one. The battery would never hold more than a couple of hours charge, no need to carry it anywhere with you or use it due to this. It constantly burnt up the battery. Called numerous times was hung up on after long waits or take battery out and rub with a pencil eraser. Still nothing after years of no service and I don't Kno how anybody got replacement phones. Assurance always said you don't qualify or you can pay 5 bucks and get another phone. Where's the year warranty I never got mine, signals were weak lot of dead zones. So I spent all this time with basically no phone service at all and very rude non English speaking idiots our taxes are paying. I hope I am finally done with these junk phones. People a phone that won't hold a charge is no good. Try telling that to Chang in china.i called the company that regulated these companies they can treatment us any way nobody regulates then.if these phones are lifelinks to help low income or elderly and poor people. It's not happening it's all about tax payers money. After a year I finally got my account counseled after many arguments and lies from [censored].csrs. these phones are junk the whole programs a scam. Beware this company.

Assurance Wireless The cell phones and their customer service!

I received a replacement phone when I asked how much it would be to upgrade the phone I had for over 5 years! That's when all the problems started & I've never had a company be so rude and not even care about their products or services. I guess I'm lucky because I'm on welfare & don't do anything is what I was told! So now I have a phone with no instructions or manual and I barely can make a call & I can't find anything anywhere on how to use it or any information! On my account it's just listed by my telephone number? I could go on & on & on but I've told my story so many times to so many people I'm tired of telling it! I would love to switch carriers but I can't. I'd love to get a cell phone case to protect my investment but they don't make any! So why did I even fill out this form? just in case this might make a difference? I'll keep looking until I die! Sincerely a tired customer of an ungrateful company! Welcome to The US! N1ck1 Brown!

Assurance Wireless Assurance wireless cell phone

I received my cell phone today from Assurance Wireless...date of today June 5, 2019...Wednesday. I called the 1-888-321-5880 no less than FIVE TIMES! I cannot remove the back of this phone, which is a UMX, and nobody wanted to help me. I went through the same spiel/non instructions because your non-American agents would and could not help me. I have proof because Alice, my assistant also tried to remove the back of this phone so that I can install the battery. I am tired of calling the 888 number because I am getting nowhere. The last person, who was a man, told me to call Sprint. What good is that going to do? So, you either send me another phone with the instructions on how to take the back off this phone, or I will contact the FCC, the Better Business Bureau and your Headquarters in Parsippany, New Jersey. Yes, i do have their address. My home number is [protected]. The Assurance cell phone's number is [protected].

My phone is charged, green light is on, and the phone seems to be dead!
please refer this to someone who can help me.
I do not have another phone to call you and email is a good vehicle to communicate.

I was away for two months, in California, and my phone went to ROAMING status so
I shut the phone off, keeping the battery charged.

Assurance Wireless Phone and customer service suck

I had an account with Assurance Wireless back in 2018 I switch to another company because the phone that they gave me was the biggest piece of crap I would ever used and when I called Assurance Wireless they kept resetting it and resetting it and refused to send me a replacement phone so I went to another company now I'm having problems with the other company and they told me to call Assurance Wireless to have them unlock the phone all phones are a lockable and their customer service it's telling me that they're not unlockable and the people that I'm speaking with are condescending rude unknowledgeable and they don't need to be doing a customer service job they make you feel like you're the biggest low life in the world because you're on a free service and they talk to you like you're stupid and honestly I think it's the worst customer experience I've ever had

Assurance Wireless Phones

I received a phone from Assurance Wireless, the phone is extremely unreliable, this company should not be allowed to make fools out of their customers. A Barbie phone would be more reliable than thes phones. They do not make or receive calls, The first night I had the phone I was stranded and tried to call a friend, it was late at night, the phone wasnt working at all. I was afraid that I was going to be in the dark all night. It was late and there were no trains. I need a phone that is reliable, I have responsibilities that are dependent on my phone. I would not suggest or recommend this company at all.

Assurance Wireless Assurance wireless customer service

The most ignorant and rude people I have ever encountered in my 57 years! No matter how you talk to customer service they LIE to you! Only phone company wants you to send your phone in before they send you replacement so even though you are paying for service they make you do without a phone for least 30 days and could care less! They are horrible. I got new service but they will continue to hear from me!

Assurance Wireless Cell phone

I am on my third phone in 3 weeks. These phones aren't very good. A neighbor received their phone the same day as I did and her phone has gone out once already. The customer service is horrible. Plan on being on hold in excess of 30 minutes. Assurance Wireless apparently has seen fit to outsource the customer service. I don't know in which country they are located, but English is most definitely a second language at that locale. At present, I can't get my phone past the blue Assurance Wireless screen. The third phone is being Fedexed. I don't know how much you think your time is worth, but the hours I have invested in this during the brief time in my possession has far outstripped any perceived benefit. In other words, these phones, for free, are more trouble than they are worth.

Assurance Wireless Free cell phone

I have a government issued cell phone. I have been trying to contact Assurance Wireless's customer service but I'm unable to do so. Also I tried contacting Virgin Mobile with the same results. Fast busy signal and emails are undeliverable. I'm a senior citizen and really need to have a phone, and it sucks when you can't use it and are unable to contact the provider or the parent company.
