    1.) @Cricketnation Your customer service has to be the worst of any wireless company out there. No wonder most people are switching to the smaller networks with better prices & better service. You don't deliver on what you say you give. You're in store CSR's are very unhelpful &

    @ThatGuyRob096 @Cricketnation I wish AT&T were like this in my area, but they are legit so horrible. The worst thing about what I just said, is they’ve been that way for the last 15+ years… and like every other carrier well Verizon and T-Mobile had upgraded their towers greatly here in the past 10 to 15 years, and they are both neck and neck with T-Mobile with the fastest speeds and Verizon probably the more consistent connection. But AT&T legit lags in every single category here and sometimes you can’t even run a Speedtest their data is so low… and that’s even on their postpaid account which I got last year in hopes that it was some “prepaid problem“ but it wasn’t. I even added the AT&T turbo for seven dollars a month, which did absolutely nothing.

    @CricketSupport Then, they literally text me that my number has been removed 1 second later. And to contact them if it was unauthorized. But now I have no phone service, and no pin. How can you dispute it. I am lucky enough to have a @Cricketnation store nearby, was there within 10 minutes
