I am pretty disappointed in this place. While I doubt a bad review will keep people from coming I thought it was worth at least sharing my experience.
I went in to this location needing a new phone. The girl at the counter was pretty helpful. She showed me my options and told me a little bit about each phone. She was knowledgeable however, I'm pretty sure she was high. At 11am.
15 days after purchasing my phone, while out of state, my phone started acting up. It randomly shut off and wouldn't come back on. It finally came back on the next day but even since then it keeps shutting off, factory resetting, and closing all my apps. It was clearly just a defective phone. Needless to say, dealing with a factory reset every other day was pretty annoying. I would lose my apps, any settings, and anything that wasn't backed up.
I went back to the Cricket store when I got back in town and the gentleman at the counter sent me straight back out the store telling me I needed to call the manufacture, Samsung. He wouldn't even entertain a conversation with me.
From my view, Samsung didn't sell me a defective phone. Cricket did and so Cricket should help me with my phone and then deal with Samsung themselves. I called the Cricket Customer Service line and got a really "understanding" manager that was "unable" to help me either. He said he could give me a refurbished phone as a replacement but I was not excited about that option considering I just paid $220 for a brand new phone that doesn't work. Not to mention, I had to put a $200 deposit down for the refurbished phone that Cricket would keep if they deemed the phone issue was my fault....
Moral of this story, Cricket has cheap plans but you are getting what you pay for. I would never recommend Cricket to anyone but more importantly, this retail store. read more
