Customer service

Customer service just informed me that calls to 611 count against your lifeline minutes, here is what their own terms and conditions says, “Voice minutes are not deducted for calls to 911, *611, 988, or AirTalk Wireless Customer Support, and all phones will be able to call 911, even if they have no minutes remaining. AirTalk Wireless may require the customer to call the toll-free customer care number from another phone if necessary to resolve technical issues related to the handset or its programming“. There is no explanation on the terms and conditions page what the “*” means. Here is the link https://airtalkwireless.com/terms-conditions IF YOU WANT RESOLUTION GO TO THE FCC.GOV website and fill out a complaint. Here is the link https://consumercomplaints.fcc.gov/hc/en-us By the way, Airtalk is owned by HTH communications. Here is their BBB page https://www.bbb.org/us/tx/houston/profile/telephone-equipment-repair/hth-communications-llc-0915-90019182/complaints

Recommendation: Try Assurance, (owned by T-Mobile), or another notable company

I used this service for almost a year

I used this service for almost a year. My phone got messed up, so I paid for an upgrade. They sent me the wrong phone, and it didn't even work for making calls. I returned it, but now they won't send me the replacement that I already paid for. They got the phone back, but they won't give me a refund or send me the phone I paid for. This company is a joke. It feels like they're stealing from me when I pay for something and they won't give it to me. The lady in customer service wouldn't let me talk to a supervisor and just hung up on me.

Customer support is unreachable. I am having problems with my application through the website even though i am approved for ACP. The phone number is only for existing customers, the contact form on the website never sends, and in the online live chat i waited for over 2 hours just to be put back in the queue right after my first question was answered. They claim i have to "register my address with *** has no idea what they are talking about.

Terrible company. I requested an iPhone and got a *** Android. That part is fine but it only works on the *** network so all I can do is voice and text. Can't change APN settings. I've called *** multiple times and usually get disconnected but when I get through reps seem to have no idea what I'm even saying. Ordered an iPad Air 2 as well which I am paying $*** for and it's still not shipped and they can't tell me when it will ship. Pretty ridiculous that the *** is so bad with long holds and disconnects and useless agents.

Terrible company, no stars

Terrible company, no stars. I ordered an iPhone but received a Samsung Android phone instead (which is fine, I guess, since they did mention they would send a different phone if the one I wanted wasn't available). However, when I opened the package, I discovered that the phone's screen was cracked. I turned it on, but the screen didn't work at all, rendering the phone completely unusable. I chatted with someone from the company, but because I didn't think ahead to make an unboxing video, they simply told me that I would have to pay to replace the phone since they wouldn't do anything to help me. I informed them that I wanted to cancel my account so I could find another provider. This company is a joke! Avoid using them at all costs.

I got the phone, paid $12 for the year to get a reliable phone

I got the phone, paid $12 for the year to get a reliable phone. I got the phone and put the Sim in it. I called customer service to activate it. Everything was going well. I was happy with the phone for about 3 months. I kept getting emails asking me to transfer or be disconnected. It happened every week. I kept telling them that I didn't want to transfer. Finally, the annoying emails stopped. But then my phone stopped charging. Now I'm a single mom without a phone. This program is supposed to help single moms and homeless people on welfare to have communication for job applications, staying connected with their children and family, and stuff like that. Does the government know that they are scamming? Do they even care?

This company is terrible!

This company is terrible! I paid $24 to join this company because I have a fixed income. I asked for my first payment of $12 back, but airtalk wireless customer service said I have to wait up to 29 days for a refund, depending on my bank. This is from my first application, which they denied. So, I got approved by the ACP organization and did a second application. I provided the approval information and the benefit approval from my snap program, and applied again, paying the $12 AGAIN. AIRTALK wireless said I was denied because I wasn't approved by the ACP and didn't provide proper proof of benefit award. I tried to talk to a customer representative, but I never spoke to a real person. Everything was done through email, and none of the reps know what they're talking about. This company should go out of business! It's a scam! SCAM! SCAM SCAM SCAM!

BEWARE OF AIRTALK WIRELESS (I wouldn't give them a star but this website makes you)

BEWARE OF AIRTALK WIRELESS (I wouldn't give them a star but this website makes you). THIS COMPANY I BELIEVE TO BE SOME SORT OF SCAM. I TRIED TO USE THEM FOR GOVT BENEFITS ***. THEY TOOK ALL INFORMATION TO KEEP MY NUMBER & CHANGE MY SERVICE. THEY MAILED THE *** WHICH WAS ALREADY ACTIVATED WITH A DIFFERENT NUMBER. I CALLED SEVERAL TIMES & GOT DIFFERENT INFO FROM EACH ***. THEY SAID IT WOULD TAKE DAYS FOR THEM TO CHANGE SERVICE & WILL HAVE TO MAIL A NEW SIM CARD. AS I HAVE SURGERIES SCHEDULED UNDER MY NUMBER, I ADVISED THIS WAS UNACCEPTABLE & I NO LONGER WANTED THEIR SERVICE. ONE PERSON SAID THEY WOULD CANCEL THE *** COULD MAIL IT BACK. THE NEXT PERSON WHEN I CALLED BACK TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T CANCEL ANYTHING UNTIL THE *** IS RETURNED OR THEY WILL CHARGE ME FULL PRICE. THE ***S THEY SEND ARE REFURBISHED. I CHOSE AN I THAT CAME ALREADY WITH BATTERY DAMAGE & OVERHEATING. I REQUESTED A SUPERVISOR & WAS HUNG UP ON. I WILL NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY & WILL POST AGAIN AFTER I MAIL. THEY SAID I NEED TO CALL THEM WITH TRACKING NUMBER AS THEY WONT KNOW ITS MY ***. UNHEARD OF.

This company might be legit, but they don't know what to do when they send you a broken phone

This company might be legit, but they don't know what to do when they send you a broken phone. Their customer service just hangs up on you when they can't fix the issue. All they need to do is swap the non-working phone for a working one, but nope, they make their customers go through hoops. I had to complain to the government before they would actually talk to me. Now I'm emailing with *** since the end of February, and we still haven't found a solution for the nonfunctional mobile phone they sent me. I've never had to jump through so many hoops to get a phone that doesn't work. The solution would be to send me a new phone, but this company isn't practical. So please, BEWARE! If you want a free phone, don't use this company. They are no help unless you enjoy jumping through hoops. I warned you! SOS: Look at all the one-star (wish it was zero stars) reviews on Yelp. Do not use this company.

BEWARE OF SCAMMERS, THIS COMPANY !

BEWARE OF SCAMMERS, THIS COMPANY ! Zero stars..I couldnt activate the service, had to wait a week. Then I couldnt check my voicemail, it was charging me to check my voicemail. I cant receive some of my phone calls, picture messages, and some text messages. When people call me, sometimes it just hangs up and doesnt even connect them to my voicemail. I called and asked for troubleshooting and the lady couldnt help me, she kept talking about social media and I was talking about text messages and phone calls. So I asked her could I speak to someone else that could help me. She said if I wanted to speak to someone else I would have to hang up and call back and somebody else would answer the phone. I wanted to support my number out and I keep on getting the runaround they gave me the account number and the passcode so the other company could Port my number so I can change company they are not letting go of my telephone number. Theyre telling me I have to wait 3 to 5 business days. Its been a week and a half. Do not choose this company any company is better than this one. Ive had my phone number for two or three years now, they will not release my phone number so I have no other choice but to wait for them another month or week or however long theyre going to take it seems like theyre just dragging it out at this point. So my only options are to get another phone or keep on waiting for them and missing phone calls not being able to check my text messages or my voicemail. This company is a rip off.

I would give this company Zero Stars!

I would give this company Zero Stars! I'm a social worker, trying to get phones for my clients who are elderly and disabled. The first client I helped got an iPhone, but didn't wait for me to help set it up, so the iPhone got locked. When I called Airtalk, they told me they can't unlock the phone, and that I have to call Apple to unlock it. Apple told me they won't unlock the phone, and it's up to the carrier. After going through a million hoops, the phone still doesn't work, and they want him to pay $25 for them to send him a random phone. He's on a fixed income and just wants to send the phone back, but they won't take it back. The client still has no working phone and is elderly and disabled. The second client I ordered for received a *** Galaxy and an iPad for $10. I helped her set up the phone and activate it. She made one phone call and the service completely disconnected from her phone, and she couldn't make any calls. We called Airtalk, and they recommended taking the *** card out for 15 mins and then trying it. That didn't work. Then they said they would send an email and we needed to follow the link to fix the phone. That didn't work either! I called again, they gave me some run around, and when I asked to speak to the supervisor, they hung up on me. When I tried to call back, they hung up on me every single time. I tried calling back on a different phone, and when I put the phone number in that I'm having trouble with, they hung up on me! This phone company sucks! NO elderly or disabled person would be able to deal with this! Stay away!

They are a fraud! I signed up with them and they kept saying my phone was delivered. I told them I only received a SIM card and no device and was told to file a report with the post office. So now they're saying I have to buy an upgraded replacement phone, but then turned around and told me they didn't send a device and I can wait 90 days to get another one. Please don't go to this company

Is Airtalk Wireless Legit?

Airtalk Wireless earns a trustworthiness rating of 91%

Highly recommended, but caution will not hurt.

Our conclusion: After a detailed review, ComplaintsBoard finds Airtalk Wireless to be a trustworthy company. Although there's a 0% resolution rate for customer complaints, which deserves attention, Airtalk Wireless is known for their high standards and safety. If you're thinking about dealing with Airtalk Wireless, it's wise to check how they handle complaints.

Airtalk Wireless has claimed the domain name for airtalkwireless.com for a long time, which suggests that the website is established and has a history of being in operation. This is a positive sign, as it indicates that the website has been around for a while and may have a reputation to maintain.

Airtalkwireless.com has a valid SSL certificate, which indicates that the website is secure and trustworthy. Look for the padlock icon in the browser and the "https" prefix in the URL to confirm that the website is using SSL.

We looked up Airtalk Wireless and found that the website is receiving a high amount of traffic. This could be a sign of a popular and trustworthy website, but it is still important to exercise caution and verify the legitimacy of the site before sharing any personal or financial information

Airtalkwireless.com appears to have online shopping features, it's important to know that the platform supports an extensive range of payment methods, making it convenient and easy to complete your transaction. The payment procedure on the website is also relatively simple and straightforward, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free experience for buyers.

However ComplaintsBoard has detected that:

  • While Airtalk Wireless has a high level of trust, our investigation has revealed that the company's complaint resolution process is inadequate and ineffective. As a result, only 0% of 37 complaints are resolved. The support team may have poor customer service skills, lack of training, or not be well-equipped to handle customer complaints.
  • The registrar associated with Airtalk Wireless has been found to be used by several spammers and scammers, which could indicate a potential threat to users.
  • Airtalk Wireless has been identified as a website that sells popular products that scammers often use to take advantage of unsuspecting customers. We recommend exercising caution and thoroughly researching the legitimacy of the website before making a purchase.
  • We conducted a search on social media and found several negative reviews related to Airtalk Wireless. These reviews may indicate issues with the company's products, services, or customer support. It is important to thoroughly research the company and its offerings before making any purchases to avoid any potential risks.

Device + customer service

Purchased a iPhone 11 and committed to 120 days of service. Phone was defective (speaker and mic not working well) but also had noticeable cosmetic damage. But I tried to contact them immediately but could not get in touch with anyone and then realized I’ll be outside their 15day warranty.

Mobile

Placed an order through ACP/Lifeline for a phone and tablet and paid in full on 2/2/24.

I have contacted the company several times to inquire about when my products would be shipping, as my previous ACP/Lifeline provider was no longer providing service, as I transferred it to Airtalk Wireless on 2/2/24.

It is now 2/18/24, my card was charged for the products and I received an email confirmation of everything being approved. However, I have sent upwards of 10 emails to find out when they will be shipped and I have received zero response, except for a stock email every couple days saying there is a delay in shipment "due to the holiday and it will ship in 7-10 days" and that I would get shipping information when it shipped. 16 days later (far past 7-10) and nothing.

Trying to upgrade my phone.

I am very unsatisfied with the IPHONE 7 I received and want upgrade and have had no luck trying to get in touch with AirTalk wireless to accomplish this. I am unable to sign into my account, and every time I go to the site it tells me to sign up. I already signed up and have a phone and service. The phone is to small, and every time I touch it I hit a button unintentionally, The battery life and health is very low on the new phone I received.

Desired outcome: upgrade my phone

They are on their social media page lying to everybody to get them to sign up with their service telling them that upon approval they would receive their devices and service within 7 to 10 days knowing that that's a lie because me and a couple people on there spoke with each other and found out that the people that's getting the free phones are the ones that's getting pushed back to the line and we're getting sent emails to tell us that our shipping is on a temporary hold so they can get that holiday order shipped out well this is weeks past the holiday holiday is over with! If you don't get your phone or haven't gotten your phone from them yet get a hold of the FCC too and make sure that they're not paying them for service that you're not using or able to use. This company is utterly ridiculous. When I called in last Friday after asking you know it's been a week my tracking number has been generated why is my package not sent out to me yet, and they made sure to remind me well you know you are getting a free phone here I don't care if it's free I don't care if I paid for it I qualify for either way just because I wasn't going to or able to buy your holiday phone deal don't talk down on me because I qualify for the service! They are horrible. I believe with enough complaints to the right place about this company that they won't be in existence very much longer anyway. Now having people buy these junk phones and then they're not responding to their support tickets within the 15-day time frame so that they don't have to replace them and that's wrong too that's very wrong I actually don't understand how they're still up and running to be quite honest. Smh!
