Total bait an switch tactics: as I was told that the phone an services were free so "I said okay kool let me go into the store" as I returned to their table setup outside the store, the two sales person completely ignored me while desperately waiting on another customer then tell me that the phone cost $25.00 dollars and the other one has limited services🤔 now none of that was spoken upon even before I asked is the phone an services are free. It left me with a uneasy feeling as if I'm being deceived.

Gen mobile is a fraud there workers tell u a bunch of lies to get ur money I was told 3 times I could get a phone replacement for the damage of my phone. I was also told they would send an upgraded phone every 6 mths. That hasn't happened either I'm really disappointed with gen mobile. Never ever again.

Signed up for free service, to then turn around less than a month not being able to receive or send calls.(busy signal)to then be told my account is deactivated and would have to pay if I want the service. To me the quality of the phone is thin and flimsy color of the screen is not bright. I think I am going to throw the phone in the garbage. If you decide to try this phone out, please probe with questions because this is not free.

Gen Mobile offers prepaid phone service with plans starting as low as $10 a month. Eligible customers can also receive a free Android smartphone and free mobile phone service through the Affordable Connectivity Program(ACP). Customers can be deactivated from the ACP if they are no longer eligible or using their ACP benefit with another provider. Customers no longer receiving an ACP benefit with Gen Mobile have the option of purchasing a prepaid plan to keep their Gen Mobile service.

Gen Mobile service is the worst I've ever experienced. Section 33 Terms and conditions for usage as an ACP provider is unlawful, deceitful and bad business. Worse than stealing from the government, Gen Mobile service is not worth the chat time with a Rep. to get phone service turned back on after they randomly turn it off, at their Sole Discretion, is cheating customers, and Jeopardizes the integrity of the ACP program. I recommend a full FCC investigation of this 'business' and if Dishwireless is the parent company, shame on them for letting Gen Make operate under their umbrella. Do not buy or accept a Blu G40, nor sign up with Gen Mobile under any circumstances. Live chat and speaking by phone to resolve service issues since 1.30.24 is an insult to me, the ACP program, and anyone else who has experienced bad service.

I received a few text messages that said congress wasn't going to approve funds for gen mobile and to call my congressman and tell him that I need a phone so please help with funds. I didn't do it. Was it a scam?

Paula, on January 11, 2024, the FCC announced that the Affordable Connectivity Program may end as soon as April 2024 due to lack of Congressional funding. Without funding Gen Mobile will not be able to continue to provide service through the ACP. If you are currently a Gen Mobile ACP customer, you can get more information at https://www.genmobile.com/pages/saveacp

Complete FRAUD!!! Your services will work for a couple months after that your internet will completely stop working. If you call in for help they will tell you to reset your data. DONT DO IT!!! Because after that your account will be flagged monthly for over usage and they will not refund you ANYTHING even once they promise you they will AND give you a confirmation number. Not worth the headache I promise

The phone itself is great! My problem is a remote access hacker. (Cyberstalker) He doesn't use passwords. He appears as me (stolen identity) when on the phone except a different location. He changed my apps and took control of my system UI. When I try to get customer service, I get the stalker. They send out emails and text in my name. He/she was talking with gen mobil about paying for extension on my account. I can't afford that. How can I get rid of them? As soon as I have factory reset, they are right back since they have my account information such as IME and phone number. I ture off permission but they turn them right back on. Help! Check phone logs.

I was scammed in Phoenix AZ by a Gen Mobile representative that's going door to door at our complex. I was interested in the tablet only, but he said I qualify for the tablet & phone bundle.. but I didn't have any interest in the phone because I have a phone.. so the guy says there is a $40 fee for the tablet and that's when I said, I'm not interested any more because of the fee.. And I asked him from the beginning will it affect my current ACP and he said "NO" which was a lie! I had a feeling that I couldn't have ACP on my current phone and then the tablet he was offering.. He was a Liar and a scammer because after I told him I didn't want the tablet I found out through my current ACP provider that my current service was transferred to GEN MOBILE and He also issued me a phone number to a PHONE that I NEVER received because I told him I didn't want the tablet or the phone because of the $40 fee. I'm NOT KNOWING, after he left.. HE MADE AN ACCOUNT with my INFORMATION and I lost my current ACP because of his LIES & SCAM. This is the WORST COMPANY that has DISHONEST REPS selling phones & tablets that are supposed to be free to low income people and then taking our personal information and making accounts and not giving us a phone or a tablet. And when I LOGGED in on the PORTAL for GEN MOBILE his scamming a** had made a FAKE EMAIL to my account. JUST THE WORST

The worst ever. I waited on sims card to keep my number. First I was told old carrier gave wrong info. Then I was told the card they sent was the wrong one so I will have to wait 10 more days. They kept getting my numbers wrong. Hung up on me three times. I'm going back to my original carrier. Oh and the phone switched to emergency calls only so now I can't use it. Problem not fixed. So disappointing.
