I paid in advance in October for my November bill. Cricket then contacted me saying they had not received my payment. I faxed them the confirmation of payment they sent to me and my bank statement showing the money was taken out of my account by cricket. I then decided enough was enough and took my service to another company requesting a refund for my pre payment. This was on the day before Thanksgiving. I then was told I had to yet again fax the proof of payment over to them within 24 hours or I would not get my refund. I spent my holiday seeking a fax machine to fax this info over to them. It is now December 26th and I have not yet received my refund. Cricket states that I need to again fax over the proof of payment again in within 24 hours to get my refund. I had been a customer for years before this and am incredibly upset that they sent me a card in the mail statig that I need not worry about my past due charges if I want to come back to them. WHAT PAST DUE CHARGES? They owe me.

Cricket may offer reasonable rates but you pay for it with the lack of service. If you ever run into a issue or concern and get no actions from the store location there are no options no customer service to contact. It is a job just to speak to a human on the phone. If your lucky enough to speak to someone, dont expect results but to be pass and tranfer without out getting any service. You also need to keep payment confirmations or your service may be cut off without proof you have paid and even then you may still have service issues.
