Consumer Cellular Cancelled My Service After I Informed Them My Dad Has Cancer
I signed up with Consumer Cellular for a deal and got an ordeal instead. Very terrible, heartless company that caused much emotional distress. I am a senior citizen in good financial standing but Consumer Cellular is more about treating each customer as a revenue target, at one point claiming I was using too many minutes despite being on an unlimited minutes plan! Company would do nothing to fix its frequent dropped calls, blames the customer, is all about the money and not the customer, has very poor ratings online across the board, and in my opinion should be stripped of its license to operate as I have stated to the Federal Trade Commission.
The FCC has also contacted Consumer Cellular with my complaint and after internal investigation found me to be correct. But Consumer Cellular chose not to fix the dropped calls problem it has verified is happening, despite my providing three legitimate options, and instead figured that it's easier to drop the customer than fix its own problem. The company tried to overcharge me after the cancellation which I am disputing, and does NOT have the same reliable service as the big boys in the industry as it claims as far as my situation with them is concerned. The service is unreliable, the management is extremely arrogant, unintelligent and poor in judgment, and the company just wants to get as much money out of you as possible, and it targets senior citizens and minorities in its ads (read into that what you will).
I highly recommend not buying Consumer Cellular - you buy cheap, you get CHEAP, plus they lied to me. The company claimed I called them too many times, well, what's the magic number when there is a problem you still haven't fixed in over a year and the FCC had to get you to investigate it (found me to be correct, the problem was fixed temporarily, then happened the same way again with the dropped calls daily which the company itself has verified but did nothing about). I'm still waiting after three asks for a copy of their contract in which they tell you how many times you can contact them with a legitimate problem. At one point, Consumer Cellular told me I'm using too many minutes! Really? Don't I have an UNLIMITED plan? Oh, am I just a revenue target, or a valued customer as you claim? Is that why you discontinued my service?What a sham and a scam!
Consumer Cellular is a discount operation with no tech support of its own and does not get you it as needed. A poor excuse for a company, and I want to warn you to keep away from "it." I have now banned this creature and say good riddance to one of the worst companies I have ever had the displeasure of dealing with, that fell way short of my minimum standards and, in my opinion, should no longer have a license to operate and serve the American public. I have now requested an investigation into its practices, policies and procedures which, in my opinion, are absolutely disgusting and an embarrassment to the industry and its customers. Feel free to express your opinion, and I recommend it be done above Consumer Cellular to your state and federal regulators and more. read more
