It's free fools
March 13, 2022

It's not as bad as everyone says. Where else can you get free data and phone. What the hell do you people want for free. It's better then no phone. Do you disagree. Come on now.

My keypad was no longer working, so I had to get a new phone. I had some things on my old phone that I needed for legal purposes. I had to find out how to download that information, so I called customer service. They didn't know how, but told me that I could have extended time to keep the phone and to call them with the tracking number as soon as I mailed it. On 12/18/2018, they turned off my service even though I was told that I could have extra time to get the information off the old phone. On 12/20/2019, I mailed the phone and called Assurance to tell them that I had mailed it and what the tracking number was. This time I was told that they had to wait until they received the phone before they could restore the service. The phone was received on 12/26/2018, so I had a neighbor call and was told that it would take at least 24 hours to activate my service. Next, I had a friend call, and this time they said that they needed 24 -48 hrs. To process it, but to keep checking my phone to see if it was turned on. All this time, I had been sick with the flu and unable to get medical help, because this phone is my only means of communication. It is now 12/28/2018 and the service was finally turned on, however I cannot set it up. I don't know what network this phone uses and I don't have any information from my old phone that will help with this.
They said this keyboard would be easier for me to use since the keys were larger. Not so. This is exactly the same keyboard I had that I have to use a stylist on to press one key. At this point, I still can't use my phone and think I will look for another company.

I signed up for assurance wireless in March with their representatives under the tent and used the free phone I received all the time before they ended service on July 7 for no reason! I was given no warning, it was just gone. So I called and gave the information they needed to review the case and they told me there was a different name under the phone number I was issued despite me having used it since March and receiving no calls or texts from anyone asking for someone else. I even entered the phone number into their website and their site didn't even recognize it! I tried calling the number and no one answered. Then they had the nerve to tell me I wasn't eligible to sign up for them but I was eligible in March? So basically they cut off my service, told me my name I gave them wasn't on the account but someone else's only for me to call the number and no answer whatsoever from this alleged person! So either they're lying or something else is up. Good thing the phone was free and I didn't pay a dime or else I'd sue somehow! The 1 star is the result of all of this, otherwise the phone was fine and so was the service, but since this happened automatic 1 star!

No customer service! Staff gives you wrong information every time you speak to them. It's very frustrating when you speak to an agent & she has no idea what she's telling you.

I've been a customer for about a month... I am already on my second phone. The first phone was actually decent for a free phone. It overheated, and the screen burnt out however. It lasted about two weeks. I called about a replacement phone. It took another 12 days to receive a replacement phone. The replacement phone is appreciated, however it's very cheap quality, I question how long it will last. I have a very good quality Samsung Galaxy phone, unlocked, however it's not compatible on the network. Only cheap phones work on the network. The customer service people have a hard time understanding the English language, and get excited over every answer you give them. The fake excitement is annoying. They never explained to me I need to send the old phone back to them. I only figured that out by reading the instruction manual for this new phone. If I didn't read that, I wouldn't have known, and my service would be disconnected. This new phone gets hot quick when using most applications, I seriously question how long this phone will even last.

Horrible
August 30, 2019

I got a phone from them, and they are saying I am not up to date in their system, so they won't activate it. If I were not in your system how did I receive a letter and a phone? They are horrible!

Crooks
November 18, 2023

I received a broken phone, I called I'm told because device works they will upgrade it. I wait two months no phone I called they said the updated phone costs 35$. I said I don't have it right now I thought because my phone was damaged I got it free. No that phone is no longer available. I'm upset as all hell phone is broken. Two months ago phone was available I ordered it. Now I'm told I have a balance of 35$ to receive it but it's no longer in stock. Ok well where can I go get a phone today I do not have two months or 70$ to wait. My attorney calls this phone my doctor's and so forth. I'm told only options are to purchase out of date phones for triple the amount of the actual cost of these phones or don't have one. I know I can bring my own phone it's on y'all's site. I say this and asked what network can I use. I'm laughed at told this bring my own device is a lie. I said I literally googled it on the phone with you and it's on your damn webpage. I'm then laughed at and asked who works for assuranxe wireless apparently not anyone of us. Y'all are crooks and jokes. It's non speaking English people as it is. This is a government life line program not a get rich for some terrorist group

Bait and Switch

Unnecessarily long sign up process and at the end the site switches to the free internet program instead of the free phone program I had requested. What's the point?
