Ordered a phone from website on 1/6/20 Received phone on 1/8/20 The phone was trash ,,only one speaker worked and it got hot... Called in to complain and was told to take all pictures etc..off phone so they could do a reset maybe it would work... Not trusting that or the phone I ordered a replacement phone on 1/31/20.. Activated replacement phone on 2/2/20.. Send trash phone back on 2/3/20 According to FedEx trash phone was recieved on 2/7/20 at 10:03am.. Before sending off trash phone I filled out paperwork that came with return box and label asking for a refund.... They sent me a exchange that I didnt ask for without telling me...i refused to let the driver off the truck with that mess i told him to send it back where it came from... I called in to complain and ask what happened to my refund... First I was told I didnt ask for a refund Then I was told I asked for a replacement phone...I had already purchased a replacement phone before I sent the trash phone back... Then I was told that my 30 days started when I placed my order even though your rules clearly States that online orders start from the time you received the item .. Then I was told that my return went to the wrong address when they sent that address on the return label... Now all this I didnt do anything right crap but yet they tried to send a brand new phone that I didnt ask for but not my refund money.......I WOULD HAVE DONE BETTER IF I HAD WENT THRU WALMART ..AT LEAST WALMART WOULD HAVE RRTURNED MY MONEY....I HAVE NEVER SEEN PEOPLE DISREGARD THIER OWN RULES TO STEAL MONEY AND LIE BOUT IT TO YOUR FACE....TOTAL WIRELESS SHOULD BE CHARGED WITH FRAUD AND A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT SHOULD BE BROUGHT AGAINST THEM WITH ME LEADING THE WAY..

Did online chat. After a long wait agent said he could not help, would transfer me. After explaining my need to update credit card, agent kept me on chat for 12 minutes and said she was not allowed to take credit card info.Called 800 #, long wait, hard to understand agent took info ,then said I needed to be transferred. Next agent asked card # 3 times and then transferred me to another english as a 5th languge

User's recommendation: Do NOT use Very DUMB CO. Stay away from.

It's never ending problems with something so easy to fix. Every time I call the problems just temporarily fixed. If I didn't have WiFi my phone would be useless. I can't even use the gps due to a lack of data. I also have trouble making and receiving calls. With the health problems I have, I need something more dependable.

User's recommendation: Find another phone company.

Continuous problems

I am so done with this carrier! Had problems from day 1! Everytime we switch and buy a new phones it's a hassle of miscommunications and something on my end that they say is the problem! It's like pulling teeth to get customer service to actually fix your problem. I'm switching after this coming month. I've dealt with so much bs from this company.

User's recommendation: Do not use this phone carrier.

No internet

worst cell plan ever, single dad with 2 teenagers and bought unlimited plan. Supposedly used up 60 gb of data 2 weeks in which is a lie and then no internet. bait and switch, comcast did same thing with their data to match plan, its a Joke. I want to pay a Fair price for unlimited data and it should not be this difficult. I had Metro which was fair at 90 for 3 lines and never interrupted but I switched because comcast rep lied when i cut chord for cable thru youtube tv I want to pay fair price +

User's recommendation: Never use Comcast or Total Wireless for "Unlimited" because it ain't.
