sylas helped my dad and i today and it was the most positive experience i've ever had at spectrum good for them

8+ hours of my time to switch to Spectrum Mobile and I finally gave up yesterday! SIM cards mailed to a bogus address, over a dozen phone calls with customer service and two visits to Spectrum stores where NO ONE including the store manager cared enough to fix the mess they created. If you are reading this and thinking about switching to Spectrum Mobile, IT'S NOT WORTH IT! This place is a shit show of a hot mess! Stay far far away! If I could switch my land internet to someone else I would but they have a monopoly in my service area. read more

The advantages with Spectrum Mobile are several. Comparing it to other mobile services it's the best. Why then? You might ask. First there is an extended grace period when you're late paying the bill. Also, with unlimited, they'll send you a message after you have reached 20 GB that your service will be slower. This is not true because I have had to use my hotspot a lot, and there is no limit. So far have used 130 GB! But my phone is not slow, only for uploads. I travel a lot up through montains and in remote areas, and the coverage is great. read more

I am so upset about the service experience with Spectrum mobile. They offered a great deal for the new iPhone 14 pro and sent me a new device about 1 week after I originally ordered. I received the phone and attempted to activate it with Spectrum over the phone 2 times. Not once did they notify me that I needed to do something on my end to transfer from Verizon to Spectrum mobile, so I'm over here trying to activate it and they're sending me in circles. FInally, I go to Verizon and they say they can't transfer because I am under a business account. I changed my mind and wanted to return the phone. Spectrum mobile said I could, but there was an error on my account, so call back the next day. I proceeded to call back and they said I can no longer return the device because I am outside my 14 day time period. Now I have to pay Spectrum for this device I can't use or drop my company service and pay more on my phone bill. Regardless, I am out $1000 and Spectrum makes money off of me no matter what. I am furious with their miscommunication, their service, and I do not want to use Spectrum mobile, and I do not recommend them to anyone. In any case, anyone need an iPhone 14 pro because I have it for sale! read more

So far the service has been fine and tech support has been available for any questions we have had. Our service was with Verizon before, and even though the basic network is the same for Spectrum, we have had fewer dropped calls and issues since we switched. And we definitely are saving money. read more

About a year ago I was sent to collections for a balence that I didn't know I was being charged for. A few years ago I financed an iPhone and had 1 line. I ended up canceling the plan and I was told that I could either pay off the phone monthly or pay it in full but I didn't have to pay the line anymore. After that I paid it monthly for a few months and then I paid it off in full on their website. I waited a few days and called to unlocked and was told that they wouldn't unlock the phone because I still had pending balance owed from the plan. I told them that I canceled the line but they said I didnt. I didnt even have a phone number. i said they had to unlock it because I paid the phone already. they ended up unlocking the phone but a year ago collections sent me a notice that I owed almost $1000. read more

I am very upset with Spectrum! I called and set up a new mobile phone line and I was supposed to be trading in my old phone. New phone arrived, got it set up, and I went to call about how to send my old phone in for trade in and my order wasn't put in as a trade in, even though we discussed it! I am now out several hundred dollars and they won't do a thing to fix it! All they did was a $25 credit after I asked if they couldn't credit it. Terrible customer service from the order to how they handled this. I will not recommend to anyone! read more

The chat bot is the worst I've had the displeasure of interacting with! Never answered my question, never came close. Has no option for live chat, just keeps giving useless options that have nothing to do with the issue. All and all, EXACTLY what I would expect from this company. Without low pricing, they would have NOTHING to offer! read more

I've always had bad experiences at these kind of places (super long wait, not enough staff etc) but this was the BEST experience ever. Bri greeted me right away and got me in and out with my new router in literally 5 minutes. She told me about to specials and saved me some money on my package. The store was super nice, big, clean and everything was explained clearly. I walked out literally saying "wow" because it was so easy. I have no idea why this location has such a low star rating. Shout out BRI! Thank you guys! read more

Spectrum Mobile will not allow you to exchange a bad phone after 14 days, even if your phone does not function. Their customer service Rep, Calib, asked me to pay for the phone in full if I wanted a different one. $300 for a phone that doesn't work? Stick to your current plan. read more

International service gets negative stars due to zero phone service or data. Customer support gets negative stars (eventhough some reps were nice, they were unable to help) I don't have the patience after at least 15 hours on the phone with "support" over the last 2 weeks to write a thorough review. But I'll try. In June I got suckered into switching from Verizon to Spectrum because of the much lower price (true) and the claim that they use Verizon towers (not sure if this is true but I know the service is NOT the same). Like most upset Spectrum customers, I've had Verizon for decades, since my first cell phone ever. I always bragged about how great their service was. I have traveled extensively with Verizon, around the U.S. and around the world and have always had voice, text and data. This month we traveled to Chile. I called Spectrum and spoke to a very nice tech support person (Spectrum calls it "repair") for an extensive amount of time who assured me we were all set to travel, that all our phones would work. Fast forward to Chile...one phone could make calls, text, and VERY limited data, one phone could call, text but no data, and one phone could text only and receive calls, but could not make calls. All 3 of us on iphones, all 3 of us together, and all 3 followed the same process to set them up to work. We separated in travel, and the 2 of us with no data and only limited calling/texting were left together and were beyond inconvenienced! We had no car and were traveling by bus/backpack through a country just ravaged by storms with roads closed, transportation delays, etc. After multiple calls and no success, hours on the line with Spectrum, we texted our son in the U.S. who is far more proficient that the Spectrum support. Over the next several days he had to call Spectrum and once he would get through to support, he would have to 3 way call them to connect them to our phone that could receive calls. During one attempt at help, the "repair" at person at Spectrum DELETED MY ESIM, immediately dropping my call to him and rendering my phone that up until then could at least could call and text completely dead and useless. We were now left with one phone that could text, receive calls but not send calls. We spent hours and hours overs days trying to get service. I couldn't even add a Chilean sim card to get data in Chile because my iphone was locked. Spectrum refused to unlock it so I literally paid the remaining balance of over $700 over the phone so they would unlock it so I could at least buy a sim card and pay for data using a Chilean phone number no one know meaning I could not be reached. It was a nightmare. Upon my return it took another 1 hour and 2 minutes to get my esim reactivated and I finally got transferred to a supervisor who was NOT helpful in any way. And no calls or messages sent to my number appeared once I got reconnected so I lost any calls or messages that were personal or work related for the entire time I was gone. There is no way to measure what that cost me. In the end, she agreed to a $29.99 credit. Don't get suckered. read more

I would give zero stars if possible. Do not sign up for their mobile. I have been told the wrong information by over 10 employees. I just got off the phone with another supervisor. Been trying to cancel my mobile account for months. Never received a phone but still getting billed. Every employee I speak with gives me a completely different story. I have never dealt with a company like this my entire life. Problem still not resolved and told it will take up to another month. Do not sign up. Nightmare. read more

spectrum has the worst mobile service. I bought a phone for my my elderly mom. it has not worked well since I bought it. The service is horrible and not she can not access her contacts and spectrum told me to contact Motorola because there is a warranty on the phone so I contacted Motorola and they wanted me to take it to a local repair shop which I took it to and was told that they could not fix it because it had no physical damage only technical damage. I mailed the phone into Motorola which I had to pay for the box and now they're telling me that the camera is broken and because the camera is broken and they can't fix the technical damage. The camera was not broken when I mailed it to them. This is a horrible company. I will never do business with Spectrum or Motorola again! Buyers beware! read more

BEWARE ESPECIALLY BUSINESS OWNERS. IF U r IN WESTMINSTER Stay Away from a rep named JUAN BAYONA HE IS THE BIGGEST LIAR OUT THERE! HE has NO CONSCIENCE AT ALL and will tell u what ever he needs to if it results to him getting u to sign up for mobile services. Why didn't I check Yelp 1st because I usually do this but I never would have imagined that there could be 98% ONE STAR NEGATIVE REVIEWS!!! And I'm going through what these poor people have been through. It's been a Nightmare from customer service lying to me and the worst person Who I blame is the smooth talking sales rep JUAN BAYONA , HE KNEW I was going to use one of the two phones I bought for my business but NEVER MENTIONED that if I went over FEW GB THEY GIVE YOU ON THIS SO CALLED UNLIMITED PLAN! my phone would slow down and it has actually STOPPED where I can't use the internet at all. I was told that I've used all my GB for the month so this is what happens!!! What the hell???'!! It's supposed to be UNLIMITED!!! I've never heard of this before and certainly wasn't told this by Juan BAYONA. How does this man slept at night know he's screwing people over!! Everything that comes out of Juan BAYONA mouth is a LIE!! Nothing he does is To benefit the customer it's only to benefit Juan BAYONA ! I'm am going to pay off these phones oh that is after I get my brand new phone fixed! That's right one of my phone the ringer is so low I miss my business calls and the touch screen doesn't always work!! And it get so hot I can't even hold on to it. And they just told me to send it to the warranty company!!! So after 30 days I now have to pay a $100 deductible on a new phone!!! I asked them if they would just replace it they said know. I asked if I could return and leave spectrum they said NO! They are ruthless!! I will tell everyone I know about spectrum , and my experience with CS and I'm going to cancel my Internet at my business. But I have to be careful because they will raise my phone rate if I cancel my internet! I'm finding out if everything is not done carefully to get out of spectrum they will screw u even more by leaving. 9/9/23 MORE INFO! Update!!! While I'm trying to figure out how to get my phones pay off so I can go to a different cell phone provider I looked up on my app and noticed that The over $300 that I was promised on the two phones that I traded in was going to come off the top of the price of my two phones that I purchased from spectrum was another big FAT LIE!!! I spoke to another sales rep he told me that I was only going to get nine dollars off a month until the phone was paid off I was so shocked and so upset this was even less than what T-Mobile offered at $20 a month and they were going to give me even more for my phones as a trade-in I would've never excepted this I would've never left T-Mobile the whole reason or one of the main reasons why I switch was because they were going to give me that much money off of the actual phones which would've dropped the price of the phones down making it easier to pay off the device sooner as well as the monthly cost a lot lower. I have been on the phone for over an hour and I am still on the hold as I am writing this review because I found out they never applied any money off to the second phone and he is trying to get a hold of a superior of his to find out why after finding out and he was just about to apply the lousy nine dollars off a month he said now it's only showing half of the amount that JUAN BAYONA told me I was getting back on one of the phones! These sales reps and these CS AGENT people are THE WORST OF THEIR KIND. how can they send people out there to lie to business owners how can they get away with this it makes no sense to me. Even the supervisors after telling them what I've been through practically sticking up for the representatives and of course wouldn't admit that they're doing nothing wrong. BUT even the supervisors I spoke with showed no concern for what I went through , did not want to help me at all. I told him I had proof in my text messages of all the promises JUAN BAYONA made that I cold email to him , including the fact he also promised to lower my Internet at my business as well, and he never did that either. And the supervisor said no I don't need to look at anything. He just basically swept under the rug and continues to let people like JUAN BAYONA lie to people to get them to sign up. But I guess that's what they have to do because their Internet is so bad also between the horrible service the Internet has who would ever sign up knowing all of this. Pretty sad I just hope people will read this and all the other reviews, and that spectrum mobile goes out of business, especially with the mobile services. I hope you, JUAN BAYONA read this review too! It's only a matter time you can't keep doing this to people and get away with it. read more

i wish I could give 0 stars! i had to file a complaint with the BBB because Spectrum Mobiles incompetence has cost me a lot of money. i bought a new phone over a week ago and called Spectrum to ask about a SIM card for the new phone as I wanted to keep my phone number. For whatever reason the lady put a new phone number to the new phone so I am being billed for two lines. I have spent the last week on the phone with Spectrum mobile and going into the store and it still has not been fixed. I had 7 days to send in my trade in for $400 off and missed the deadline because I cannot use the new phone. Incompetence and if you are thinking of using Spectrum Mobile...DO NOT do it!! read more

Switched to spectrum from tracfone. Switched 2 phones. Got great price on S23 galaxy phones. Took about 1 1/2 hrs to port over from tracfone. I was worried about having issues but Raol and Hugh were wonderful to work with. This was in Brownsville on Galeno St. Can't beat prices. I would recommend them to anyone. read more

I recently went to Spectrum Store to switch my service to my sisters account on Spectrum. The customer service person appeared to be well knowledgeable and replaced my SIM card with theirs and said my phone number would be ported in 30 minutes. After numerous daily calls my number was ported 6 days later. I then again visited the Spectrum Store to update my phone. I told them I was on my sisters account and gave them her phone number which they said was not a good one. They also said my sister had to put me on her account as an authorized User. They would not accept her phone number, address and account security code. They said she had to call them. I decided to keep my old phone and save myself $800. read more

If I could leave a negative star, I would. I attempted to switch to Spectrum mobile. The activation and number transfer process was a nightmare! After 24 hours, it never happened. Then the brand new device powered off and would not come back on. I returned to Spectrum and tracking, as well as their own admission, proves they received it December 9. Left hand doesn't know what right hand is doing, and to this day, they still have not issued me a refund. MY PATIENCE HAS RUN OUT!!!!! It has supposedly been escalated to supervisor on 1/16/23. I was told if I had not hear from them within 72 hours, to call back and they would manually force my refund. So I waited until today, which was 96 hours. NOTHING!!!!! STILL HAVE TO KEEP WAITING!!!!!!! WAITING FOR WHAT????????? read more

I purchased a new specturm mobile plan and had a Google Pixel 7a shipped to me. I've never had an Android and I've never used Spectrum for mobile services before. The phone arrived with 2 day shipping. I was trying to transfer my cell number from Verizon Business. Additionally, I was traveling for one week. It took me several days plus the Memorial Day holiday. Verizon Business had some issues on unlocking the number. After trying for several days, I had to stay with Verizon to keep my number. Exactly 14 days after I received the phone, I called to return it. They declined because they count from the day shipped (and they only add 2 day shipping). Summary: The return policy is actually 12 days not 14 and they don't care about holidays or weekends. Really terrible experience. I went ahead and canceled my internet service on top of it. read more

I left Sprint because they were charging me for 2 phones that noone was using. Noone there could help me. Switched to spectrum. Got unlimited everything because I need it. If you "go over " your phone does NOTHING! Like. How can you go over when it's unlimited? Sprint didn't do that to me. But the price here is better. Guess I'm stuck. read more

i spent over 3 hours on the phone, to swap my old device and the Jo. was to only replace to a new device I purchased and has the eSim. Spectrum sales, added as an "error" a new line and device into my current account. i was transferred 14 times to different associates, trying to fix the account and activate the new device. It was my worst experience ever. After being a client for over a year, the mini I would expect was to just to be respected. NO ONE during the entire process has apologized or were showed empathy. I took several pictures from my home phone, along the way, to show the time spent with them! unbelievable. read more

I contacted my carrier spectrum mobile service at their 800 number today to possibly see about removing some data from my ipad i financed through spectrum. I was transferred to a rep named Wanda who attempted to assist me. From the beginning of the call her tone in the conversation was completely off, quite condescending. Wanda informed me that I would be unable to remove the data plan off my ipad which is fine, however she informed me i signed a consent care form. I kindly asked if I may be provided with this form for my own reference. She rudely informed me it would be in my email and that they ''do not save signed forms''. I am lost as to why such a large company would not save this important information... As I proceeded to inquire if I may request my signed document, she stated that spectrum does not save any signed forms. Which is nonsense... I then asked if there was someone there or in a different department that may be able to better assist me. Wanda stated no she was the only one who can assist. She continuously cut me off and was very unsympathetic. I asked if there was a supervisor available and before I was able to finish speaking, she put me on hold before saying its a 30-minute hold.. Im not sure if spectrum as a company is not providing adequate training for these CSRS but now due to this inconvenience I am rethinking continuing service with the company if this is how I will be treated, and this is what Spectrum represent. read more

If I could give zero stars I would. This company is awful. My story with them is unbelievable and I don't have the energy to type it all but basically they are liars, their system is out dated, they can't update my address for 60-90 days because I moved so I can't upgrade my phone for 60-90 and I'm typing this as I'm waiting for Verizon to bring put my new phone. Yes, I'm now back with Verizon. read more

I wanted to give Spectrum mobile a try here in Apple Valley, CA so I switched from TMobile. Big mistake. My phone was fine and I had no problem with reception. Spectrum mobile said if I sent them my phone they'd give me $103 dollars credit toward a new one. Now they are reneging. So, NOW I will have two phones, poor reception (drops, audio goes out, on almost every call of any length of time) PLUS, zippo value offered for my phone I had to go through the hassle of sending to them. As soon as I'm able, I'm outta here and don't recommend them to anyone in my area and don't ever believe any phone company when they say they will give you a credit for your phone, Customer service people are all very nice but wait time is very long. read more

They're sneaky. We recently terminated our service with them because we were not getting adequate coverage in our area. Calls would spontaneously drop, it was difficult to get any service so we found a new provider six days before our bill for the upcoming month so we could end our coverage. Upon speaking to representatives they tried to entice us with offers to remain but the simple matter is, we were not getting adequate service. Upon speaking to representatives they tried to spew more enticements upon us staying but we disagreed. When service was disconnected and lines transferred over they some how managed to maintain service upon one line. With that phone it was not connected to the Spectrum network, phone number has been transferred over to new carrier before date of new billing cycle. I thought all was complete until I received a bill on my bank card for new cycle of monthly charges. I called to inquire stating all lines have been transferred over to a new company before cycle completion time, they told me there was still a line on the account. I'm baffled because that line is now in association with the new carrier and upon initial conversation I was told this would not occur. They did not offer management but bantered on about adverse reality. I inquired if there would be any further billing? They told me next month for one line will be billed to me. I have left the previous billing cycle, you're charging me for current and plan to charge me for the next? All phones are paid off in full, we made you aware of our leaving before the end of the current billing cycle but to charge for two up coming? That is quite deceptive. If you are with them be weary and look into other companies, my current I pay a third with better quality service with much better speed along with consistent high quality customer service. Best wishes to all and be aware even with phone number change they WILL claim to be the service provider while not preforming any task. It shows their greed and lapse of service minimalism to gain any benefits including cash. read more

I got the $29 and one line free . No one told me you had to use the second line the same time as the first. so months later I called and told them I wanted to use the 2nd Line and I couldn't have it because I didn't request it at the same time . I will be leaving Spectrum Mobile. read more

I transferred to Spectrum Mobile from another carrier. I have my granddaughter on my plan. First, they had my cell phone cut off before they sent me a sim card so I was without a phone for 2 days. Then I called them about my granddaughter's line and they said she did not need a sim card and now they are having a problem initiating her phone. She is on break and has not been able to use her phone for the entire break. I would never recommend spectrum mobile to anyone. They stink. read more

Terrible. Network does not provide coverage. Have had the maps application dropped and could not reconnect - caused me to be hopelessly lost. Also phone they sold me is no good and it is past the 14 days - that I was not told about - and they will not take it back. This is the worst cell phone experience of my life. After 90 some minutes on the phone and 4 separate verifications I have finally got a refund for the 2 months of service that they did not provide. Had to go to the forth person to get them to disconnect my service. Was told that if I took the phone back to the store where I got they would help me - took it the store and surprise they DID NOT HELP ME! Do not get cell phone service from them - they do not provide SERVICE! Can I give less than 1 star? read more

They keep sending me emails about upgrades that I qualify for, because I'm a loyal customer. I call about them, then they tell me that I don't qualify because I'm already a customer. That doesn't make them seem too loyal, or intelligent. The service itself is okay, I guess, though overpriced. You have to use autopay, which I don't like doing. I've been using them for a long time, but I don't like the bait and switch spam they've decided to try out on me. This company is a little too big to feel comfortable trying to scam their customers. I don't know who made the decision to do that, but maybe it would be better not to put used car salespeople in charge of your company. read more

If you're think of switching to Spectrum mobile, don't. I have two stars because every person I have spoken with has been super polite and as helpful as their system would allow. If not for that, I'd want to give 0 stars. I've been in the transfer portal for two weeks now with a business line that Spectrum owned! Going from a land line to a mobile, and I get "it'll be 4-5 days for the number to port", then nothing. Call back and "we'll I see you didn't do this". Huh? Start over. 4-5 days, start over. Unreal. read more

spectrum is the absolute worst. Do not use them! it is not worth the money saved. Internet cuts out always. The phone service is the worst. nothing ever loads.. I'll have to restart my phone often to get service back. My phone is new, so I know it's the provider. absolutely ridiculous. very upsetting. read more

Spectrum mobile is the worst service you could possibly get it never works I would rather go and pay a $300 phone bill if I had to just to get rid of this crap do not put your money in it you will get trapped by buying a new phone and having to pay $2000 before you can switch plans so you're not in a contract but basically you're in a phone contract because you can't just cut off the service because you're still gonna have to pay for the phone and if you don't pay for the phone and they put you in collections so you kind of are stuck for almost 2 years with a crappy phone that never has service and if you were in a emergency I bet it wouldn't even dial 911 for you!!!!! read more

What spectrum has to offer is impressive, a lot of channel choices for less than what is available from Frontier ... but: There is a GIANT problem with pixelization on random channels (we can never tell which channel will turn funny, one day its one and then the next day it is another) and I am convinced (turning in my third remote in two months) that someone or a group of people within the organization got "kick backs" to purchase the remote control. If we switch back to Frontier, it will be because of this awful remote control: Doesn't fully function with our home theater system, barely works with our TV (we have to turn the TV on/off/ and back on again to get it to work) and has this weird setup when fast forwarding to just switch to some random channel and the "back" or "return" button does not work and you have to surf to get back to the channel we were watching. I hate the remote, if you are thinking about switching ... DON'T! read more

I came in today and spoke with Bridgette and she helped me out with my services was super friendly and even recommended me to switch over to the mobile line which I will be doing this month, she shared great info and helped me in a very professional manner! read more

Do not ever sign up for spectrum Mobil phone service. They will offer you a Galaxy Tablet for $199.00 and free one year phone service. You can buy this tablet for $125.00 any store. You cannot return it to your nearest Spectrum store but have to mail it back and they charge restocking $50.00 for no reason. You cannot even look at it. That is a scam, be very careful. They know how to talk and get you. They will send this device to another customer and get $199.00 if they keep it because it hasn't even touched. They are very good in bundling to make you fall in to there pit. Offers are very attractive but once you singed up for it there is no way you can get out of it. They increase prices and you are stuck. They don't have contracts but they know how to get you. Be very careful when they offer things you do not need. There is always a catch and they win. They charged my credit card with out getting my consent for the balance of $50.00. That is a scam to my knowledge nothing else. read more

WARNING! Stay away!!!! You will get hidden charges. They told me my service fees would be EXACTLY like with my old metro account. Didn't want to switch but they insisted I'd get better service. BS. My wife gets better service with metro than i do even though it's supposed to be "VERIZON" towers. Must be that they put Spectrum users at the back of the line. I went to Mexico in vacation and came back to a $181 bill for "roaming charges". Metro has UNLIMITED calls to Mexico. Switching back to Metro ASAP! read more

They lie they told me our phones were compatible. They walked us through the setup and then said that they were not. My wife and I both work from home and have not had phones for 3 days. I even spoke to a lead manager she lied said she would call me back and crickets never heard from her she was going to listen to the phone call I had with the sales person who said my phones were compatible. Stay away if you need your phone they are crooks and legal action should be taken, leaving people without phones that depend on them for work. They are crooks!!!!° read more

I was in need of a little help with keeping my phones on... I reached out to customer support.. pretty much said you are on you own have a nice day.. I will eventually be cutting all my ties with them because of this experience. other then that the service is great . read more

spectrum mobile is a bunch of bull if your switching to them and want to keep the number you've had for years! they've had My number being ported for 8 days now. I paid for two iPhones and one port. needless to say the new number works fine which is my daughter and my phone hasn't worked since I left the store. The salesman says to wait 3hrs and I'll have my number. I waited and nothing. So I go back to the store and then I'm told to wait until 7pm, NOTHING!!! Told to wait 24-48 hours, NOTHING! Now here it is 8 days and nothing! My old phone bill was due today, can't pay it cause they say I have no number with them! WTF do I do. Currently no phone at all! read more

I have never had dealt with a more dishonest, discourteous condescending company EVER. I'm 72 so i seen some real clunkers but spectrum mobile takes the prize! From over-all poor service to bait-and-switch practices, that's what i experienced. Look for a better mobile phone company! RUN!!!!!!!!!!! read more
