I've got scammed on phone and tablet bundle at doctor's office where they was allowed to set up. Can only text on phone and tablet has no SIM card. Thought I could trust them since they were allowed to sell their products. The other phone I have paid for unlimited 3 days later internet is working as should. Scammers for sure. Run........ people run if you see agents. Customer service and street agents lie.

Genmobile is nothing but dirty scammers. They lie to you all the time. They claim they sent you messages and have not. Also do not get an unlimited data plan with them because it's not unlimited. Such scum bags. And lastly, try to get a refund from them. They lie about that as well.

They are a disgusting lying company! They turned my phone off and guess what the reason was? Because they said I talk too much! I talk too much on sn unlimited talk and text plan. Then I gave them another chance when I should have left and man was that a huge mistake because this time the disturbed by service on my iPhone down to nothing but incoming calls! I had no iMessage, no FaceTime, no internet couldn’t log into iCloud because they made it so my phone wouldn’t recognize my password then and they messed with my battery usage somehow! Wowwwww! How can a phone company be allowed to do this and get this…they say I used all my data! Hahaha! Lies because I didnt even use data on that phone. I had no apps on that line. Smh. What a trash lying deceitful company. I left within minutes of me finding out it was them doing this to my phone for nothing. They made me miss important messages, never again and I highly suggest you stay away!

This black woman that cells cellphones through gen mobile In Cincinnati sold me a cellphone about a week ago. A few days later my phone completely shut down it won't even hold a charge or turn on and when I called the customer service number she gave me they said my phone number doesn't exist in the system. Lol I'm suing this company . Stop letting these miserable people get away with hacking your phones and stealing your identity . SUE THESE MISERABLE BASTARDS

I was toll I qualify for the goverment phone all I had to do was give them $110.00 dollars. I paid it then the number they gave me could not be use because I always got the message the number belong to someone else. Ok I call and toll them about the problem. But it kept happening. I ask if I can bring my old number from metro and Genmobile said I could, the only thing I had to do was buy a sim card which cost me $20.00 dollars and the transfer # from metro. Ive spend $130.00 dollars.total,my gas my time. And Ive call 15 times and when I give them the phone number they gave me. They hang up on me 15 TIMES calling. It's a scammed. They steal from old people..

This company a total joke, they scammed my mother today saying signing up would not affect her already ACP phone and charged her $50.00. He also did not give his name or a number to my mother. We already have disputed the charge with her bankbecsuse the customer service guy could not give her a refund. He said "refer to the agent who didn't give you his number". I called acp and she indeed lost her current good service with straight talk after the street agent misinformed her and lied to her. I reported them to ACP for abusive and misleading sales tactics, next BBB and lawyer. Their misleading tactics will be brought down. This company is trash along with the shady, lying street agents. I hoped you guys go out of business asap for doing this to people. It's cruel and disgusting. ABSOLUTELY DO NOT DO ANY BUSINESS WITH THEM! YOU WILL REGRET IT!

If you use your for business, this will screw you. Their terms and conditions have a “reasonable/excessive usage” clause, they will flag your account even though they claim “Unlimited data” they will turn your data completely off(no warning included) and if you are traveling after business hours of their company.. good luck trying to use GPS to get home because you are now stranded. I have had to call 19 times for them to turn back on and explain my situation. Granted they turn it back on but.. I’ve just now found out about this clause on the 19th call. I will now be switching services for the simple fact…… unlimited means unlimited. Just a cheap company with no transparency. No one reads terms and conditions to a tea when choosing a phone service.. even when you choosing a phone service, they explain the terms and conditions themselves. I would have never decided to go with this cheap company if I have known ahead of time and it would have also saved me a headache.

I purchased an Alcatel Wi-Fi hot spot that was provided with a GenMobile SIM card. I’m unable to set it up and GenMobile has been unresponsive for days. They responded initially and then went silent. For three days I’ve sent them emails asking “Is anyone there”? I don’t think they know how to set it up. They shouldn’t sell a product they don’t know how to support.

I called for a carrier swap from AT&T, but instead of doing a CARRIER SWAP, the unprofessional agent did a SIM CHANGE, which resulted in losing the service. When I called them they said: " Just wait for your new sim card to arrive in 10 business days". I asked them for a solution till the sim gets delivered, and they said:" This is the only solution we have". Staying without service for 10 days is normal for them. Very Desapointed.

SIM card changes can take up to 10 business days, but will be able to deliver faster in most cases. If there was a swap and you need to wait for a new SIM, give our care team a call to check on a tracking number. It is usually available within 2 days. You may also have options to get a SIM from a store in your area.

I switched from SafeLink to Gen Mobile thinking that I would get better service from them. They claim that 7gb of data was used within a 7 day period. Everytime I call, they're favorite words are 'You've consumed all your Data. I even purchased Data and never received the Data. Now! When I call they're rude, hanging up during the conversation before the problem is solved. The so-called Supervisors are worse than the workers. I've turned off my Data and when I turn it back on, someone is connected to my Hotspot even before I can connect to it and no one is in my home but me. How??? They're stealing people's Data as well as they're money. This is supposed to be a Free Government Program where the phone is supposed to be free, so why when the phone all of a sudden stops working, they want you to purchase a phone. They're selling old outdated phones to the customers and don't care about the customers at all!!! SMH!!! It's pitiful how they're scamming people.

I received a phone from a street agent and after paying for activation the phone was disconnected in less than a month. When I called customer service they stated that they can not provide a refund and are unable to activate my phone because my details were never inserted into the system so I would have to buy another phone. Mind you this was supposed to be a free government phone. SMH they are real life thieves.

I brought a phone for $60 at a retail phone stand set up outside a DMV in Philadelphia,pa. Was told it was free and unlimited calls /text I used it for 2 months it was very slow unless on wifi, certain important apps like "Map" for gps would act up during trips and now I can't call out or receive calls, no text. Only Internet and social media smh. Thought I was cutting down on not having a bill but this is a head ache and dangerous not to have a good working phone when you have children and Incase of emergencies very disappointing.
