Lying Customer Service

Been using NET10 for over five-5 years. They were recently purchased by Verizon. It works, no contracts are nice. Dealing with Customer Service in the past was not ideal, but workable. Their Website always has problems - it's always been bad. BUT, last week I inquired about using an eSIM service for my daughters phone number. The agent said no problem, we just need to switch the SIM card we have now on the T-Mobile Network over to Verizon. Once that is done, then the eSIM can be set up. Sounded good to me, and the agent confirmed I would get the promotional free month of service from switching to Verizon. Well, this week both my daughter and I found out NET10 does not support eSIM nor do we get the promotional offer of a free month service. Yesterday I asked to speak to a Supervisor, they said sure, they will call you, is 15 mins ok? Is said yes. It's been about 18 hours so far, no word from NET10. I guess they are busy lying to their loyal Customers. So I'm very disappointed with them now. They take no responsibility for what their agents say. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY

Add auto pay

Took forever to get it through. It is fine now but it was a mess trying to get it set up. Says you can do on website but could not. There is never a refund for anything with Net10. All sales are final. And all associates are rude and don't speak good English. Making it hard to understand and if you asj for someone else they are rude and tell you have to deal with it.

NOT FULLY RESOLVED!Although marked as "resolved", (not my doing), it's a PARTIALLY resolved situation.I finally received my 3,000+ minutes owed and transferred from my previous phone, but the extra 200 minutes that I should have received with my last purchase of...

Original review Jun 25, 2022
I have been a customer with Net 10 since 2007, and up until last year, had nothing but good experience and praise for the excellent service over the years, even during times when necessary service was "upgraded" and phones had to be changed to newer models. It's now quite obvious that since the take-over of Net 10 to another company, the customer service is terrible, and advertised promises such as minutes rollover are untrue. Even though my service was fine, I had been contacted by Net 10 during last year, stating that I needed to upgrade to a 4G compatible phone as mine was an older model. I had always been purchasing physical 300 minute, 60 day service cards, but then began noticing issues. Adding minutes became more problematic, and every time I had to call the Technical Support to get the minutes credited to my account, it was recommended by them that I open an online account to buy additional minutes and service when needed, and is exactly what I did. But then that didn't work any better, and I still had to call Technical Support every time I renewed service to add minutes. I was then told by the representatives that if I upgraded to a newer phone, this would happen automatically. So Net 10 sent me a 4G compatible phone (NOT "smartphone"), but I was unable to activate it online from my account as per their instructions on their support page: https://support.net10wireless.com/expresshelp/transfer-number/i-just-bought-a-new-net10-phone-how-do-i-upgrade: I just bought a new NET10 phone. How do I upgrade? In order to upgrade, please click on the "Activate/Reactivate" link. Follow the instructions to Activate your new NET10 phone, transfer your current phone number, and transfer any remaining Minutes. When I contacted Tech Support, they told me that I could now only have an unlimited service on the new phone that I received, even though it wasn't a "smartphone", and at the time, I still had over 5000 minutes PAID FOR remaining on my account, despite the promises on their FAQ page: https://support.net10wireless.com/expresshelp/transfer-number/if-i-buy-a-new-net10-phone-can-i-transfer-my-phone-number-and-any-remaining-minutes-to-the-new-phone : If I buy a new NET10 phone, can I transfer my phone number and any remaining Minutes to the new phone? Yes. You can transfer your remaining Minutes to your new NET10 phone by clicking on the "ACTIVATE" link. Follow the instructions to Activate your new phone and transfer any remaining Minutes, as well as transfer your current number. So I kept on using the old phone, and every 60 days when I bought more service and air time, I contacted Tech Support to have the minutes added, and every time we entered discussion regarding activating the new phone, which was never achieved, until FINALLY one of the Tech Support staff, who was clearly more familiar with the process, finally admitted that I could get the minutes owed me carried over on to the new phone (as per Net 10's own FAQ support page, unlike the continued denial rhetoric from previous Tech Support staff) and continue using basic prepaid, carry over plans as I had always been doing in the past. He arranged a higher department to call me back to facilitate the process. After a fairly lengthy call, on 03/03/22 my new phone was activated with my current number, and I was assured that the 3095.21 minutes credit that I now had would be added to my online account once I next renewed my airtime before the current service ran out in 38 days. On 04/09/22, one day BEFORE the service was to end, I purchased $30, 300 minutes, 60 day carry over benefits plan as I had previously, but this time with auto-refill to take advantage of offer receiving 500 minutes instead of the regular 300, together with an extra 30 days service, as advertised on your pay as you go, CARRY OVER BENEFIT PLANS page: https://www.net10wireless.com/serviceplan?deviceType=basicphone This seems to go ahead fine, until my service disconnected less than two hours later. AGAIN I had to call Net 10 Tech department, and go through the who long process of explaining from the very beginning, which I've had to do on every occasion, and again to wait again for a transfer to some higher entity to get service reinstated, and was told that the missing minutes: the 3095.21 rolled over and the missing extra 200 minutes from "auto refill" purchase would show up in 24 hours, Of course, yet again, other than reactivation of my service, none of these promises came true. I checked my account online, to see that the minutes owed to me were NOT added, neither were the extra minutes for the auto-renewal purchase. In fact, only $30 300 minutes, 60 Day plan showed up on my Active Devices page, with Auto Refill, clearly CHANGED from "YES" to showing up as a NO (I have screenshots) which is clearly WRONG as evidenced by the the extended service date, and the FACT that 250 bonus reward points for auto refill were added to my account: MY REWARDS ACTIVITY Date 04/09/2022 Points 250 Earned Bonus: Enrollment in Auto-Refill I have also screenshot evidence showing proof of the purchase and changes made. I have tried since then on NUMEROUS occasions to have the matter corrected by numerous Net 10 representatives, and always after lengthy communications, have to constantly repeat the whole story, nothing has changed, other than on 04/19/22, the representative said that I had to wait until my current minutes come to an end, as the adding of any OWED minutes would clear off the current service minutes. She also said that I would NOT have to repeat the whole story as I've HAD TO DO so many times, as it's been noted. On 05/18/22 I reached out to the Tech Dept yet again, as I was quite prepared to now forfeit the remaining 8 minutes I had left, in order to receive the total of 3295 minutes owed me. AGAIN I had to explain everything from the very beginning, contrary to what the previous representative had said, only to be transferred to another department via callback (again), kept waiting for half an hour while the representative was fixing things, and then again transferred to another department, when the call was dropped after a few seconds prior to connection to said department (I suspect on purpose, as this had happened a few times before while waiting to be "transferred"). I've now had enough of the run-around and feeble excuses. It now seems clear to me that Net 10 have no intention of giving me what I have paid for, and all the promises are simply lies. As well as "screenshots" of my account, I have kept copies of the chat sessions with Net 10 representatives, illustrating their constantly changing narrative.

Poor Customer Service

I woke up to a deactivated Net10 cell phone this morning. After talking with two Customer Service Reps and a Manager, I got a supposed explanation. A month ago my original Net10 phone stopped working. I ordered a replacement phone and activated it as instructed. I was not instructed to reactivate my plan, and, because of this, my service expired this morning.

Net10 happily reactivated my phone for a $45 monthly unlimited plan. Before this I had been paying $30 monthly under a promo plan. When I asked about reinstating my promo rate, I was told that the promo was tied to the phone. I was told that when the phone died, the plan died. I was told that the plan was only for that phone, which was a blatant lie. When I got the promo rate I was able to get any phone. This was a chance to increase my rate by 50% and they took it. They told me that I have no recourse but to accept the new rate or leave with my 30 day old Net10 phone.

Net10 never said that my promo rate was tied to a specific phone. Net10 never told me at phone activation that I would have to reactivate my service plan and forfeit my promo rate. Net10 never told me that they were going to deactivate my service this morning. I missed at least 8 work related calls. They only gave me employees who barely spoke English, and, who acted as if they could barely understand me.

When I asked for the name of the CEO so that I could file a complaint, I was told that they are not permitted to provide that information. The first opportunity that I get, I am switching to a different company.

Try this: After sending me a replacement phone, they were utterly inept in transferring over my former telephone number and the minutes I had already paid for before the phone died. They deactivated the phone, then told me they couldn't transfer the number to a deactivated phone from a deactivated phone!

Idiots! So they "temporarily" activated the old phone to send the number over but didn't send the minutes! The "new" phone was inactive for a month because of this - can you imagine? My son got into an accident and I couldn't be alerted because Net10 can't send me the minutes I already paid for to a phone they wouldn't activate!

Then a rep tells me to take the SIM card out of the old phone and put it in the new phone - and it inactivates the SIM card that belonged in the phone! Two hours later and another rep tells me I will now need to get a new SIM card! They said they sent it overnight via FedEx, but after 2 weeks, I called FedEx and they said Net10 never sent the SIM card, they only opened up a shipping label! I called Net10 back for the 9th time, and they said it was FedEx's fault.

I told them it wasn't, read them a thousand numbers (my old SIM card number, my new phone's SIM card number, the number of the ticket on this problem, the number FedEx sent me to track it, the serial number of the old phone, the serial number of the new phone) and they still never sent it. Finally, a supervisor assured me she would FedEx a new card out to me overnight. 4 days later, after believing it wasn't coming again, the SIM card arrived. I put it in, the phone was activated but the airtime days read "6" instead of "30".

In fact, she told me I was going to get 60 - 30 for the month the phone was out and 30 more for the trouble. I got 6, then my service ended.

I tried for 2 hours to reach a supervisor today but was not able. Would you keep this phone service?????

Helping to reactivate and restore to my original Net10 phone number

This representative ("Lovely" may not be spelt correctly) was very helpful in understanding my issue of reactivating my original Net10 phone number. She helped correct the issue and I got back my original phone number. Previous representatives were not able to do it and kept me waiting for about 1 week. "Lovely" representative is to be highly commended for her professional attitude and service. Thank you very much.

Im not charging a new phone Im not asking for any money Im not buying anything Im trying to give you the new credit card that will work because the old one was stolen so its no good hello McFlys.

Phone don't work

Have phone number transferred to a new phone . But when the information was transferred to new phone. Was told that I needed to purchase more data for the phone to work.Was charge twice because my service end date wasn't until the 12 of may. But the phone still doesn't work. Have talked to phone support for 3days and still can't get problem resolved and won't shut my service down or give me a refund until the phone works . But they don't know how to fix the problem. So I have 2 phone's that don't work and got charged twice in one month.

They cant seem to figure out and tell me whats wrong with my service and the billwas just paid . I have been working on it all day. I have just been disconected on.

Poor customer service, cant understand anything there saying. I am a senior citizen with very little tech knowledge, poor eyesight and hearing. Four different times I was asked to remove the sim card and give them the #. After paying for said serv ice I have none and no one seems to be able to help,is it time to call a lawer? Maybe Im overreacting, maybe its my phones fault ,just need to know. feeling ripped off
