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.

My boyfriend brought a phone and did pay the 40 dollars to have it activated and he only had it for a few months.He does get free minutes from the government.The phone was great for awhile but now he can get phone calls in but can't call out.If he can't call out he will lose the funding.The service number that was provided doesn't answer.

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.

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

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.

If I could leave ZERO stars, I certainly would. I am a Service Coordinator in the KC Metro area and I service Senior citizens. I spoke with a rep name Andre Schneider, he wanted permission to come into one of the senior living properties that I serve. I specifically and clearly told him that I would do some research on this company and get back with him to let him know IF he could come to the property. Much to my surprise, Andre TOTALLY ignored what I told him and came to the property anyway - WITHOUT my permission then pretended as though he did not recall the conversation, SMH! I will also be calling my local better business office to report them. This company, this rep is trying to bully his way into our properties. If they come on any of our properties again, we will call 911 and charge them with trespassing!

Gen Mobile is a total scam!!! A Gen Mobile "pop Up" store was set up outside a convenience store I frequented. claiming free phone and cell service for people that qualified for the ACP program which they said they could check one's quantification in a few minutes. My current phone had a near-dead un-replaceable battery and a badly cracked screen and so I was interested. A few moments later they told me that I was qualified. I asked if would be able to tether my laptop to the phone, as that was the only form of internet connection I had. The agent said that was not a problem. However I needed to purchase the premium phone & tablet combo for $80 plus pay an additional $10 a month for tethering. It sounded like better deal than my current plan so I Went for the $80 phone & android tablet. I was told I just needed to contact Gen mobile on-line to add the tethering service. When I contacted Gen Mobile, the agent had no record of me, my ACP qualification, the purchase of the merchandise, or cell service in my name. The tethering option cost. $10 for 1gb/mo, $30/mo. for 7GB, and $50/mo 10gb. When when I explained that this was not at all what sales agent at the pop-up gen store told me- and I would like to return the merchandise, the Gen Mobile agent informed me that Gen Mobile had no record of the sale or the sales agent. They DID have the phone number of my new phone, but it was not registered to me so I could not return it or get a refund. When I tried to track down the agent from the receipt, the listed party had no address, email or phone #. Gen Mobil would not provide any info about the agent.

Bought $100 phone from a pair of Gen Mobile grifters in Phoenix. I am disabled with no income. They used another person's account and simm and put it in my phone. BTW their phone rep gave me all that person's personal info, including name birthday, address and last 4 of their social over the phone. Then instructed me to input that into their website to reactivate my simm. Right after telling me the account holder applied for another phone with a different provider. REALLY?!! I called back because reading the contract, (which I recommend) it clearly states that I can be barred from lifeline for providing fraudulent personal info to get lifeline phone service. I said I want a refund and they said they can't help me, because the account is in someone else's name! That I have to find the person who sold me the phone. I have no idea where they are, I haven't seen them set up at my grocery store before or since. I would give them 0 stars, they don't deserve a 1 star. Do yourself a favor, do not deal with these people. My radar should've have gone off, but I was too focused on needing that phone for doctors appointments. I wish I would have seen the HUNDREDS of COMPLAINTS ONLINE.

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
