Does Cricket Wireless have a 24-hour customer number?
Can I keep my number when switching to Cricket? Can Cricket customer service change my number?
Does Cricket Wireless have chat support?
Can anyone tell me if Cricket has a 24 hr support line thank you
I am a new customer and cannot believe how difficult Cricket makes it to both contact support and give them money. In short, I had to call multiple times to setup my account because their website and app never worked. Once I finally got my account setup, they never billed my credit card and charged me $9 in fees to pay over the phone.
This type of practice is predatory and inexcusable, especially for a company built on public airwaves. Cursory digging shows my story is not unique. Please file FCC and FTC complaints. Document how predatory and incompetent Cricket's customer service is. It only takes a few minutes to submit a complaint online:

Cricket is the worst! I tried porting my number into cricket last night. The eSIM activation failed so, I called (chatted) with support. Support tells me to delete the eSIM so we can restart the setup, so I did. Support then tells me that they would need to send me an OTP to verify my identity EXCEPT I have no service. I explain that I have no service since I deleted my eSIM, so he now tells me I need to go to a cricket store…..after 9pm. SMH. So, today I go to the cricket store (rude support staff) charges me an additional $10 for another eSIM to activate. I only paid because I wanted my phone number but as soon as I activated I ported out to US Mobile. Cricket has an enemy for life!
