Are they insane?
One month after buying cell phones and a contract for cell phone service, the Angel phone started acting up. Contacting customer service became frustrating to say the least. Wait for over an hour and a half on hold and then get disconnected. When I had gotten my blood pressure back under control, I would try again... and again... and again. Finally after literally weeks of calls, a customer service rep tells me that they are having problems with that phone and will send out a new phone. NO replacement was EVER sent. One call on my day off, I sat for over 4 hours on hold, only to be told that the dept I had reached has no way to track the replacement phone. Now they go out of business and I am left with 2 phones that the baby can play with because they are useless, no service for over 3 months on one phone because it had completely died and they have the NERVE to send me a final bill. ARE THEY INSANE? What do we do?

Unfair practices!
I purchased an ampd mobile phone a couple months ago. I had problems from the beginning, i ported my number out to them and that took about 2 weeks. I had many problems with the Customer care department they didn't know why my phone number was not working. After that got resolved i received my first bill and it was 128.00 dollars. I signed up for the 49.99 a month plan and was told by an ampd mobile rep that the total cost the bill could be was 65.00 a month with taxes. I called them and was told that the entire first month is prorated, which i was not told at the earlier date, and that they only give you 200 minutes for your first month. So naturally i went over on the minutes and got a overage charge. Then the next month i got my bill it was 400.00 dollars they told me i had exceeded my minutes by 700. I have 1000. That is absolutely impossible because i always use around 700 a month and that is it. the customer service department was extremely rude and demanding. I decided that maybe ill just wait and see what next month says when i don't use my phone barely at all for this month just to make sure. the bill went to 600.00 when i didn't use my phone at all. I immediately terminated the service and yet kept getting bills that increased the final bi ia 966.24. They need to correct these fraudulent charges because it is ruining my credit and i got no help from the service center.

They rip people off!
This company is HORRIBLE!!! I purchased a Hollywood Pay-as-you go phone for my 10 yr old daughter in February 07. Circuit City had it on sale for $ 129.99 and that I would get a rebate for $ 100.00 from Amp'd Mobile. I sent in all my paperwork on 2-21-07 and last week I finally decided to call customer service to find out where my rebate check was. Spoke with a very polite lady and she told me that they weren't doing the rebate checks anymore but giving the customers $ 120.00 credit over the next four months. Okay, my daughter is 10 and she barely uses 20.00 in two months - so I asked to speak to a supervisor - he was a complete idiot... Explained to him that my daughter wouldn't be able to use $ 120.00 in four months and asked if they could at least spread it out over 6-8 months. While I was on the phone with the person they called a supervisor - I checked Circuit City's weekly ad and they had the Hollywood phone on sale with the $ 100.00 rebate. So I told the SUPERVISOR if they were going to screw over these people too. He was completely rude and not willing to listen and basically said that I either use it or lose it - by now I had it and I hung up on him. This past Sunday, July 22nd, my daughter receives a text stating that "service may be disconnected 7-27-07 @ 12:01 am". Today, July 24th, I called customer service to find out about this text. The CSR was completely rude and told me to call back from the phone so he could discuss the account - just a week earlier, I talked to the young lady about the rebate check and was calling from my work # and now a week later I have to call from the cell phone on the account. My daughter is visiting her father in another state, so I don't have that access and I told the guy that he kept telling me to call back from that phone, then preceded to tell me to have my daughter call from her phone - HELLO - SHE'S 10 YRS OLD. The stupid thing is that my name is on the account - every two months I call and add minutes to her phones using my credit card # that's on file but he couldn't tell me anything about the account not even her account balance. I asked him about this text she received and wanted to know if her phone would be turned off and he said no and to check back next week. What a complete jackass!!! I told him that they had the worse customer service EVER and his response was " please don't talk bad about my company" I know it isn't his fault but I'm totally pissed off. Honestly, I wish I've never bought this phone - I'm out $ 100.00 for the rebate and another $ 30.00 for the phone since it looks like their filing for Chapter 11. DON'T BUY ANYTHING THAT SAYS AMP'D MOBILE - SAVE YOUR SANITY AND YOUR MONEY!!! LEARN FROM MY MISTAKE...

Poor quality product!
Purchased 5 cell phones all combined within a family plan. Requested 3000minute plan was given 1500 minute plan. Therefore of course monthly allowance of minutes were succeeded. Charged $1,632.00 discussed the matter with customer service after attempting multiple times to reach them through their 2 hour wait automated service line finally able to talk with a human and with no help at all. Mother has an account with 2 lines the new moto q which froze on the welcome screen. Se attempted to have the moto q cell replaced of course due to her purchase of equipment insurance just to be placed on hold for 1 hour 23 minutes by amp'd mobile customer service then told to call assuring which again placed her on hold but for only 51 minutes. She received another automated service that suggested she call amp'd mobile again. The story does not end here. When signing her contract mother purchased not only her moto q but also a razor cell phone on the same plan. She has never been able to activate this phone ans has been forced by the amp'd mobile company to pay each month. Calling ever since april 2007 to receive help from customer service now july 2007 and still no service or suggestion to resolve the matter at hand. Do not buy anything from this company they have very poor customer service and are nothing but scam artist making up for the bankruptcy which they filed a while back.

Poor customer service!
Amp'd Mobile is the worst cell phone provider around these days. There customer service is horrible, no matter which call center you get. The people in Vegas are rude and ghetto. Oklahoma are probably the nicest but not really. Most are rednecks and have attitudes. Their invoicing process is stupid. We get are bills and 5 days later they are due. If you are late, they play games with you service. They might let you get incoming calls, but no outgoing. I'm talking 7 days late, while check is in the mail. Their amp'd live hardly ever works. Verbatim - There was an error communicating with the Amp'd Live Network. Please try again later. {4001}. For the last 6 months. They always blame it on you area. They said they offered coverage in my area, not a limited amount of coverage. Screw them. Folks don't do it! It's bad when they won't let you pay your bill. They would rather transfer you back in queue repeatedly. So I won't pay the damn bill.

No refund given
AMP'd Mobile is the biggest rip off company ever!!! I purchased a cell phone for my 13 year old daughter for Christmas and sent the rebate in shortly after. I made copies of the receipts and the bar codes for my records. When i didn't receive my refund check, i called numerous times to have blasting Hip hop music played in my ears and when i did have rep finally get on the phone, They sounded like a complete idiot. They didn't even put me through to the right department and they didn't even speak correct English. I specifically told them that i had proof of sending it and they insisted that i did not include my bar code with the refund package. WHAT A CROCK? There was nothing i could do about it. What am i going to do, take them to small claims court and waste months of my life? NEVER AGAIN! DON'T BUY from APM'd mobile unless you want to throw your money away!

Lies and deceptive business practices!
When I canceled my account with Amp'd mobile I was told I did not have to pay the cancellation fee because of the horrible customer service I received. However, 4 months later I am being contacted by a collections agency saying I owe 142.61. When i called Amp'd mobile I was told that even though a supervisor waived the fee, the billing department has ultimate authority over those decisions. I was told I would have to pay the fee anyways even though I was told otherwise over the phone by a supervisor.

Horrible customer service
When I first bought my phone it did not come with a memory card. When I called Amp'd to ask for a new one, they said I would have to pay for the S&H to have a new one sent to me and even then it would take 2 weeks for the card to arrive. I went back to the Best Buy where I purchased it and they just gave me a new one after hearing my case, no questions asked.

Disrespected!
One day my phone's screen turned off and wouldn't work. I called Amp'd and asked whether or not this was an insurance issue or a warranty issue. They said the phone was still under warranty, and they said i would receive a new phone in 3-4 business days. After 9 business days I called and asked where my new phone was. They told me that a phone was not sent out and that they would do it right away. They told me that when they receive the old phone, they give it to a technician who examines it and determines who is at fault. I was told that if the technician found the phone was broken due to a fault of mine, I was going to be contacted and i was going to be charged $100 for the new phone. I was never contacted so I assumed everything was fine. My next month's bill however said I owed an extra $100 for the phone replacement. Every time I called I asked to speak to a supervisor and every time I was told that none were available. I was told I would receive a call back but that never happened. It took 3 weeks to finally talk to someone and have the charges dropped, and that is a whole other complaint in itself.

Lousy billing and customer service
I signed up with Amp'd Mobile on the internet and bought 2 phones. The phones are fine since they are Motorola. My problem began when I tried to make a payment via the website. I owed 85.17 per phone, I paid that amount in separate transactions. When I got my statement the payment was entered 4 times instead of 2. I said OK just credit my next bill. Anyway that was in march , now it is May and I am still trying to get the money that I paid to be credited to my account! I called last week the person said no problem we will send a corrected bill. I woke up yesterday and my service was disconnected! I called yesterday, they said I had to prove that the payment was made, so I faxed a copy of my statement showing that I had paid them 340.00. They said no problem and reconnected my service, promising to e-mail me a corrected statement. I wake up today and my phone is disconnected again, I called (another 2 hours) and they tell me to pay the balance and they will restore the service like yesterday never happened, and the money is still not credited to my account. Now my next step is to go to the BBB and the Illinois dept. of commerce. It is one thing to have lousy service. It is a different ball game when you take my money and do not apply it too my account.
