I do not recommend Hello Mobile to anyone. I have been a Hello Mobile customer for four months and have consistently paid my monthly bill. Unfortunately, I experienced a service interruption today. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Upon contacting customer service, I was informed of a technical issue preventing the activation of new services using QR codes.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But why do I need a QR code if I have a valid numbers from them? And they offered me to wait a week, if they receive a QR code then they will be able to help fix their problem. Isn't this crazy? scammers. I find it concerning that this problem has persisted for long enough to affect existing customers. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I would appreciate a more timely resolution and a clear explanation of how this issue will be addressed to prevent future disruptions.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Apparently they closed up and went out of business for that notifying anybody. All if a sudden one day my phone was shut off and put me in a bad situation. We rely heavily on our phones these days, especially in emergencies. This was bad business at its finest. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]NEGATIVE TEN, if possible - This is the WORST mobile / cell service ever![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Hello Mobile will take your money instantly but will not send the eSim QR code for activation. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I have been calling, chatting and emailing to no avail.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Still waiting for over 3 wks for activation, nothing but the same old excuses... "will update with delivery....." when eSIMs are supposed to be activated within minutes of payment. Also, it's impossible to ask for a refund or cancelation of account, and your credit card information cannot be removed without replacing it with a new card number. Please stay away from HELLO MOBILE! read more

The service was good, T-Mobile towers so not much of an issue but HOLY COW trying to cancel service is Insane.... 45 minutes on hold hung up then went to there "Chat" on the website waited 30 min to finally get someone to Chat with me and they have taken forever to "Gather this Information" when all I want to do is close my $5.00 cell phone line..... you know because you can NOT remove your credit card information from there website, and there is NO place on the website to even get any information on canceling your service! /facepalm... just insane. read more

The worst wifi provider ever. i have three lines with them with unlimited data/text for the last 3 years. Has been more than a week i'm receiving in all three line 0.015 KBS. Spoke with customer service many times/ Supervisors etc.. nothing. Last phase they say: Is there anything else we can do for you. Today will be the last day with them. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I tried to pay my bill, as my card changed. Not accepted and no valid reason why it wouldn't.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Made purchases on it and more than enough money on it. Tried to call customer service and the pone number disconnected. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I still can use it for now. What is up with that?[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Typically the autopay works fine.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This morning I got a message to pay or I'd loose my service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I tried to pay online. Kept getting error messages[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Tried putting my credit card back on the autopay - rejected.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I did get to talk with someone on the phone this morning and all they did was to say they would send it up the line[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] . [[HIGHLIGHT]]Haven't heard back (now evening).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Trying the online chat and got disconnected, trying again.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I have had 3 lines with hello mobile for close to 4years now, was bumpy initially but gradually settled in, about 3 weeks ago I received a message asking me to upgrade to ESIM, exa where my trouble started, [[HIGHLIGHT]]I received the Esim, and have been calling to have it activated, sometime I am on hold for 2 hours, till I would finally give up and end the call myself[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], but since the day before yesterday, when I place a call, a message comes in saying that my line are expiring on the 8th of Nov, and that I needed to get an alternative carrier and transfer my service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I have been calling the customer service, this morning, I was on hold for 3hours and 17mins, still with no answer[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I so with these review systems would allow for NEGATIVE ratings. that is what this phone carrier is garbage. Speeds so slow you have to download maps at home on wifi before navigating anywhere. They are lying to you about 5G, they could never get my new iPhone 13 to 5g, they just told me it was the phone and I was in a bad area, While my T-Mobile iPad was sitting next to my phone screaming 5g speeds. So in trying to move away their customer service is so inept that they when I asked for the PIN number to port the phone numbers away they neglected to unlock my account, it has now been 5 days and I do not have my phone numbers moved. Support will not help you they just copy and paste garbage answers to your questions. I have filed complaints with the FCC and BBB against this company I suggest everyone else do the same, NEVER NEVER USE THIS CARRIER. read more

Stay as far away from Hello Mobile as possible. Hello Mobile (Qlink) is pretty much as "bottom of the barrel" as you can get with cell providers. Not only do they consistently have total service outages on the beginning of every month that last anywhere from 24-72 hours, they have no actual customer support. If you try calling in, expect to wait anywhere from 45-90 minutes to get someone. Once you finally do, they are never able to actually help you. Their chat service is just as bad. Looking into their business (Hello Mobile, Qlink, Quadrant Holdings) you'll find some really shady stuff going on, and I would honestly not be surprised one bit to see that Hello Mobile is really just a front for money laundering. Just to give you a tiny idea of their shady practices, on their home page towards the bottom, it shows that they are a BBB accredited business. Well if you go to the BBB website, it shows they are NOT accredited. I am very suspicious of the other 3 "awards" they have listed as well. Oh, and their "100% satisfaction guarantee" is a full on lie. They will always refuse to give you a refund, even if you didn't use their service for the month you paid for. I left for a different carrier on May 3rd after 3 days of having no service, and they refused to refund me May's bill despite using literally 0% of their service in May. Again, do yourself a favor and save yourself some headache. There are many, MANY better options out there. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I wish I could give their customer service 0 stars.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]You cannot cancel their service via their online portal.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They do not answer their customer service phone line. I have been on hold for more than an hour before being cut off.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I attempted to end service with their chatbot and was told by the bot that it was canceling my service, then disconnected. I was unable get back in touch with their bot that day.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I sent an email to cancel the service that day. I received no confirmation and a bill for service was generated.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I contacted the bot again and called again. The bot said that I was already canceled and refused to send email confirmation or to send email confirmation before disconnecting me.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I finally got through on the phone and they said my service had been cancelled by the bot earlier that day (not on the date of my previous chat or email).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They refused to cancel out the charge and when they finally agreed to send a confirmation email the email stated that I still needed to call their customer service line. They refused to send an email that stated definitively that my account was canceled and refused to reverse the charge that they generated after their bot said that I was canceled (before the new service period) and after I had sent an email that followed their instructions for cancellation prior to the new service period. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is the worst customer service I've ever received.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Avoid this company at all costs, the low price is not worth the headaches and hours on the phone waiting for customer service. read more

They have zero clue how to run a communications company. I ordered a phone, I got those that you can get for free on the free cellular service places, I paid $29 for this piece of crap. No way to exchange SIm card and the worse part, the company assigned a wrong area code and nobody can fix the problem on the company. They cannot guarantee the phone numbers. How come you as a customer pay for a service and the provider want you to stay with the service they have not what you need? I mean, customer's always right, specially when you ask for something and they offer to provide it but when they get your money just close the way for solutions. Such a rip-off company read more

Please stay away from hello mobile. On last suturday I got a message from hello mobile to free upgrade the sim. I upgraded it with eSIM option. But installation got failed. I got error the code is invalid. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I started calling their customer care they said something happened with the eSIM apply for a new eSIM which is $5 and retry. But when I tried that option it showed out of stock.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I am in completely outage. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I am calling to their customer care till now everyday waiting more than one hour each time in line but no luck.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They are physical sim option is showing order processing and eSIM is out of stock. I am in a dead end now. I tried to port out my number and the request is pending with them for last 4 days they are not approving the PON. And sad part is [[HIGHLIGHT]]I emailed them numerous times to their support@hellomobile.com but there is not a single answer from them.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Please be aware when we are choosing such provider. read more

i have unlimited data for 4 lines, but all of my lines speed slow down after 5GB of usage. I call technical support and got hung up once, then call again and the manager couldn't help. I called for a total of 5 times and none of them were helpful. I was a customer since 2021 and I am leaving. read more

I would give 0 star if I can, Stay away, Customer service is horrible! they don't listen to anything you say on top of that sorry to say they don't understand what your saying. They sent me SIM card but due to technical difficulties could not port my number. As my other service was expiring in matter of an hour they asked me to cancel service and ask for refund (Conveniently technician could not do it due to technical difficulties and asked me to contact customer service in the morning) and retry porting in month again. Chatted with customer service in the morning and they absolutely refused to process refund stating company policy. Don't believe a word they say. read more

I don't understand all the negativity. I've had three lines with Hello Mobile going on three years. The service has been awesome; few dropped calls, no billing issues, easy setup, and fast internet all at a great price. I've saved a ton of money. Thank you. read more

I am writing this review to make sure that people do not waste their time with this company. Their deal was a bit too good to be true. $25 unlimited talk, text and data + hotspot.. with 5 lines, it drops to $17 per line.. I could not believe it. So I kept talking to several representatives to make sure that is the case.. Because on their website, it says $25 plan requires $15 extra for hotspot.. but they all insisted that it is outdated info and it is now included.. So I believed them and signed up just 1 line.. I got the sim card..and tested it out.. hotspot turns on and device can get connected... BUT... there is no data.. I tried different phones and same thing happened.... Then when I tried to call customer service, it was at least 15~20 min each time I called, then endless questions that had nothing to do with my issues .. they first said that a tech support will call me.. they never called. Then another rep said he needs to transfer me to a tech support but they are closed and I need to call back the next day.. When I called back the next day, they finally transferred me to tech support and it says "estimated wait time.. 65 min"... each time I called, they asked for exact same information that I already provided many times... man I wasted so much time.. Do not take a chance and use this company.. save yourself trouble and go with some other carriers... read more

Stay away! False advertisement as " unlimited " but they only give you certain amount of gigabytes per month. Also they cancelled my account and disabled my phone number I was using for years so I couldn't transfer it to anyone carrier. Stay away! read more

I had my account forever, it still says what the promised when I joined, unlimited everything, data, msgs, calls, well, i have 4 phones with them, 3 we hardly use out of home base with a land extra connection, resuming, if my 4 phones united, reach 16gbites of data transfered (that is 4 gb each prorated) they interrupt (not lower speed, interrupt) the service until the next cycle, you call to protest and they tell you they can't help, it is all automatic, you ask for the limit or any info and they say the computer decides that, that they can't help, no matter supervisor or anyone, disgusting, incredible and upsetting, my wife just got disconnected, until the next cycle, only option is to pay and outrageous price on extra data!!!! This is every month after 16gb on 4 lines¡!!!!! US COMMENT WORSE COMPANY EVER!!! read more

this company is owned by the same guy that owns q-link wireless.do not trust them. once they get your phone number they think they own it and will never release it back to you, i have been trying to port my number to a new provider for going on 4 weeks now, all i have gotten is excuses and broken promises to fix it then call me back, once your off the phone with them you no longer exist read more

Zero stars paid for unlimited voice, text and data, two weeks into service I had no data. Called company and questioned why I had no data, was told I over exceeded my data plan. My question is how does one exceed an unlimited plan? If I get more data I must pay more. read more

Worst customer service ever. My internet service went out on Sunday. I spent over an hour with customer service. The first two reps were duds because I couldn't understand them and there was terrible feedback of my own voice. Finally I got a nice fellow who told me tech support wasn't available until Monday. On Monday I was told the cell tower in my area was out of service and to try it in a few hours. Nothing. On Tuesday I was told 72 hours. On Friday with still no service I was told I had exceeded my UNLIMITED data plan. (Apparently it was a fiction that a cell tower was out.) Since they do not issue partial refunds I will use my phone to make calls until my next payment is due. Meanwhile I will research better plans. Hello Mobile isn't the only budget cell service out there. Just the worst. read more

All of a sudden I have lost my Q Link mobile account!! NO 24/7 tech support and since it is a holiday weekend it will be Monday before I can reach anyone with this lousy company. I have more than one issue with Q Link and will be seriously looking into another free program or going back to Verizon. read more

Would not refund my money because when I ordered on 10/21/20, they placed the order on my first and original order date (04/11/20), meaning the 30 day guarantee had already expired before I even placed the order. But no one explained that to me. read more

Why are Qlink employees so rude. First when I called yesterday a recording said I could wait or leave my number and they would return my call. I left my number, then the recording said it would take 48 hours to return my call!!!!!!!!!(Say that first, I needed something fixed on my phone now). I called back and it took 40 minutes to get someone on the phone. Why? Don't you have enough phones? Or do you have that bad of service? I'm talking to Francie a supervisor who doesn't seem to be able to follow the conversation. I told her I called and Zara hung up on me after I was on hold for 20 min. Does Zara get paid for that? Then I was told they would send me a manual to figure out what was wrong with my phone. Lol. I get an email from them about 5 times a month and I get a text from them about 5 times a month with my phone usage balance. I asked Francie to stop all that. I don't need 10 notifications!! She said they can't. Then I told Francie , who didn't give a rip , I would just post this on yelp. Don't get Qlink, now called Hello. Don't do it. You don't have enough hours in the day to deal with this crew. read more

I Don't get any incoming phone calls. Incoming phone calls goes to voice mail withing a single link and I can't get to my voicemail. No human help. Calls to customer service goes in the endless loop. No help. zero stars for this service. read more

zero stars. Otherwise known as Hello Mobile, they sent me a sim card (that I requested for new service) that would not activate and still charged me and CONTINUE to charge me for monthly service. I have been trying to cancel for almost 3 months. They won't answer regularly the phone or ever reply to emails. Without a doubt the sketchiest company I have ever had the sorrow of using. AVOID THEM at all costs. Crooks and scammers. Finally got them today on phone and they told meLeft me on hold for 30 miinutes and then disconnected me just to mess with me. read more

customer service is horrible! they don't listen to anything you say on top of that sorry to say they don't understand what your saying. calls are all out soured! no corporate office number just customer service which needs help. they refuse to let you speak to a supervisor and won't help they just always repeat everything you say. no wonder the service is free and crap! read more
