They will hold your line and make your pay extra if you try to leave them

Trash service . I have experienced soo many charges and headaches with this service company.

Theyre prices arent friendly either . You end of paying more in the backend with fees and or their expenses they have .

They also will hold your line and make your pay extra if you try to leave them .

Tried to get the code to transfer phone number

After spending more than an hour on the phone with people that barely speak English, I ended up with multiple commercials for stuff that I am not interested in nor want but was constantly told it was part of the verification process. After repeatedly answering the same questions multiple times, what I got was a code confirming my verification.

Absolutely ridiculous!!! At this point Im ready to abandon the phone number that Ive had for 20 years and use for business. Worst experience ever!!! Next call will be to my lawyer to see what recourse I have.

By far the worst company to work with!!! Just what I needed after working a 14hr day. I will be sure I tell everyone I am in contact with to never do business with flash mobile or ACN.

I firmly believe in the 3 foot rule. Everyone within 3 feet of me will know what I dealt with!

Switched 6 lines to Flash, was told it was T mobile. The initial rate we were quoted wasn't what we were ultimately charged.

The main reason we switched was to have international and to save money. Had problems from the beginning and our rep was very good at working with us, went to Europe and had no international, except on wifi (although our friends on t-mobile had complete coverage). When we returned to the states had complaints from everyone else on the plan that they were experiencing problems; dropped calls, no coverage, one kept getting recordings that she had no service, when people called. We finally had enough and moved our service back to our old provider.

We cancelled service with Flash on the 6th of the month and had paid through the 27th. When I contacted them for a refund, they said they could only give a courtesy refund for one line ($29), because that was the only record they had of me contacting them.

I explained all my contact was going thru the rep that sold us the plan and i had at least 20 texts with her. They couldn't or wouldn't verify this, so ultimately I am stuck paying for 5 lines for 3 weeks of no service.

Terrible Terrible Terrible Customer Service

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Tried switching to their other provider as they offer T-Mobile and AT&T because I was getting poor service. The only way you can get in touch is via chat.

I now cannot get my number released because they have a hold on it.

They keep giving me the run around. The tone I am perceiving is very patronizing.
