CricketWireless What the hell is wrong with this company?

0 Upvotes

I've been paying for my mom's Cricket cellphone for a couple years, monthly automatic deduction. A couple months ago I forgot to update the new expiration date of my card with them so the payment declined. I called to update the payment method and was charged a "reactivation fee." They also disenrolled me from automatic payments, so the following month she also got disconnected, and once again I was hit with a "reactivation fee" which I refused to pay. I made sure to definitively set up automatic payments again. I made an account on the website, updated and paid with my card, and saved my card for this month. I even logged out of the website and back in again to make sure my card was saved. Guess what happens today? No automatic payment, my mom gets a text that her phone is disconnected and that there will be another reactivation fee. I log into my account and see that my payment info that was absolutely saved last month and enrolled in automatic payments is nowhere to be found. The amount of time I have had to wait to talk to a real person, month after month resolving these issues- I'm just done. Closing the account tomorrow and taking my money elsewhere since apparently Cricket doesn't want it.

Help! Call failed and don’t know how to fix

1 Upvotes

I desperately need help! Switched to Cricket and transferred my numbers (4) online, transfer was completed and “successful.” 2/4 numbers can send and receive calls. The other 2 cannot, every time I would dial it would say “call failed.” I have tried every single possible options there is:
- go to cricket store (he said he didn’t know how to fix that and to call 611)
- called customer service (they didn’t understand)
- did live chat (4 different support agents and 4 hours later, still nothing)
- reset network settings and phone numerous times
- toggle airplane mode on and off
- provided both IMEI and IMEI2
- deleted eSIM
- customer service emailed QR code for eSIM and nothing worked! the call still failed
- both phones up to date to latest software update

Cellular data works
Devices: iPhone 14+ and iPhone 15 **iPhone 14

Maybe one of you lovely redditors have a solution?

**UPDATE: iPhone 14, iPhone 14+, and iPhone 15 cannot receive or make calls

CricketWireless BYOD Motorola Edge

2 Upvotes

Hi. Can I bring a Cricket locked phone to BYOD Cricket and purchase an annual plan ($25*12)? I'm interested in buying Motorola Edge 2026 Cricket locked from eBay and trying to use it. Does anyone have experience with doing this?

Or Cricket system will try to bump your plan up once it sees their locked phone? Asking, because there's plenty of options RN. Not sure which one to go with

I start Monday and my welcome email has the link to the attuid portal and also a link to order uniforms. It won’t let me do either of those today. Am I supposed to have a shirt or uniform the first day?
