Complaint Review: Cricket Wireless

With the promise of low rates, I was foolish enough to jump at switching service from a large company to Cricket.  How foolish of me to think that the service would be comparable.  The new cricket phone requires you to dial the area code for all local calls.  Never in my long life have I had to do that, nor will I ever.  

I had Cricket service for a day or two before cancelling it and returning the cell phone from the office which sold it to me.  They had the audacity to sent it back.  I refused and dropped off their unopened box back to UPS.  Clearly they don't want to refund my money.   This is a poor way to treat customers after giving terrible service.  The local Cricket office was empty and now I know why. It had only one employee, compared to many employees at my former and now current cell phone service provider.    I learned my lesson.  Don't you use Cricket.  I want a refund for the worst cell phone I have ever used.  Keep the $40 for first month's fee.
