So like most people I saw the commercials I went to check out better help and I am on extremely low income Social Security and food stamps Etc can barely afford to pay my rent I noticed they had a financial aid section where you can apply to get a discount well I did and it wasn't a discount at all it's a joke they still expect you to pay almost $60 a week which is absolutely outrageous considering us on low income can't even afford that so it's not any financial aid it's just another door slammed in your face with a company that claims to help people but lacks compassion and understanding. If you're going to claim to help people on low income it should be like 10 or $20 a week if that I don't care if people think that's ridiculous you know what's ridiculous is being on low income barely being able to pay your rent barely being able to pay your phone bill paying all your bills and you're left with maybe $40 after everything and then being told by a company here's your reduced cost for the small price of $200 a month absolutely ridiculous. With this horrible economy nowadays I'm surprised anyone can even afford the regular price.

So when I asked Assurance Wireless to send me another phone they told me that they were going to send me a bigger screen nicer 5G phone what did they do it just came today and it's another piece of garbage a name I've never heard of looks basically no different from the one that I've had from 3 years ago I'm so sick of these companies lying to our faces and they just get away with it they need to be held accountable I recommend everyone if you're looking into getting a low income phone do not use Assurance Wireless avoid it at all cost they don't live in Integrity they lie to you they hang up on you they treat you like garbage their cell service is horrible their phones are even worse and their employees don't treat you very well either there's other companies out there that I've heard of that actually give you something that's worth it and treat you better it's interesting that this is connected to T-Mobile supposedly and yet I've had amazing support through T-Mobile over the years with my other phone but Assurance is garbage the worst company out there for low income phones avoid at all costs save yourself some time and grief and deal with a company that is Kinder more understanding actually cares about their customers and doesn't treat you like a second-class citizen just because you're on low income Assurance Wireless should be ashamed of themselves but to feel any shame or guilt would take a heart and a conscience

Garbage low income phone company

So I'm wondering if I should switch my low income phone company I have a cousin who goes through a different place who actually gets a really nice phone this company gives you name brands you've never even heard of in the phones look like something from the late 90s and then they tell you that they can only give you phones that they have in their warehouse which means you most likely aren't going to get a phone that can even keep up with the times seems like other phone companies have better phones and usually always in stock actual name brand phones I'm super disappointed that I joined Assurance Wireless like 3 years ago the brand they gave me was something called UMX it's absolute garbage could barely even use my phone small screen clunky slow ridiculous I didn't know the dollar store sold phones cuz that's basically the best way I can describe it just a piece of junk and then I apply for a new phone and I get told well you may not get a nice phone because we have to see what's in our warehouse I don't care what you think is in your Warehouse we all deserve new phones that are actually name brands you can't just give us garbage that doesn't keep up with nowaday times super disappointed the other thing that happened is one of the people that I talked to earlier (Justin/Justine/Justice?) I talked to a week prior...this time hung up on me and I wasn't rude to her at all just frustrated didn't yell but spoke firmly about some issues and she straight up hung up on me... unprofessional unacceptable not ethical I hope she's held to account because the second person I talked to said "they're not allowed to do that to you" (2hich isn't true if your being super rude I would think) I could understand if I was calling them names and yelling at the top of my lungs...? But they just hang up on someone just because they can't handle someone speaking in Valor and advocating for themselves shows that you're fragile and you shouldn't be working with customer service... so we'll see what this next phone is that I get and that will be the deciding factor if I can continue with this bottom of the barrel company.

It gives the option of having a $#*! therapist, but not for a white therapist. Woke crap! Stay away

Avoid like the plague, this is a wholy incompetent and disreputable organisation. Please use BACP...
