So to top off my super awesome experience with Cricket Wireless.   My best friend has Cricket Wireless as her cell phone provider as well.  Just this last Saturday I went to an actual Cricket Wireless store with her because she wanted to upgrade to a smart phone.  She decides on a refurbished Palm Treo because as the super awesome Cricket Wireless salesman pitched to us…it is their best and most advanced phone that is slightly used but the same price as their not so “smart” new models.  Sold!

We head off to BW3 to enjoy some much needed wings, spirits, and trivia.  While we are there of course my friend starts playing with her new cell (she could hardly contain herself).  Turn phone on and up pops the Sprint logo…hm questionable but whatever.  Then she tries to access the internet.  No go.  Even tried to receive a picture via picture mail…again no go.  In fact, both times up pops the Sprint logo again and says something like (I’m seriously paraphrasing here) um you ain’t got Sprint bitch sorry.  So I tell my friend to march her happy little ass back there and demand that be fixed.  She is paying for internet and unlimited picture text as well as just spent $150 on a new damn phone.  The great people at Cricket Wireless tell her it’s the weekend and they can’t do anything now so come back.

The following is an exact copy of email between my BFF and myself in regards to her issue:

“Ok, here’s the raw deal….I still don’t have internet on my phone. I’ve gone to the Cricket Store twice now, hoping they could figure it out. Well today I call and here’s what they said…..They still haven’t gotten an email from the company where they bought the phones. They were told they were internet capable but are finding out that they aren’t, because I am not the only one with this problem. So basically, if they find out from this company that they are not internet capable, they are going to reduce the price of them and they will either give me the difference of what they are going to reduce them to or I can trade it in for a different $150 phone. I say thet’s BULLSHIT! Because I am not going to be able to get another phone that is comparable to the palmTreo….basically a new phone with all the nick-nack and bells and whistles…know what I mean? So, that is what I’m facing now. So my loving, outspoken, well-opinionated friend, what do you suppose I do?”

-my BFF to me

“Here’s what I think…either they are some of the dumbest f*cks on earth or they are trying to play you as one. 1st, of course it’s internet capable…you could google the damn phone your self and read the specs on it and see that it says it’s internet capable. Even your older cheap as sh*t mother f*cking phone was internet capable….and that is a damn smart phone. 2nd, the company they bought the phones from is clearly f*cking Sprint…that’s why it says that damn sh*t as soon as you turn it on! AND if they bought it from some other source like an asshole behind a dumpster what mother f*cking company sells phones to their customers that they aren’t even positive work with their network…I mean f*cking really…really?! I’d tell that guy to shove his sh*t up his f*cking ass and you want all $150 back not a f*cking pro-rated amount.”

-my response to my BFF

Sorry about my language but clearly at this point Cricket Wireless has really proven to me how far they will go to shove their (figuratively speaking) dick up someone’s ass.

Let me find out where Mr. Cricket lives…oh please God.  Because Carmen  is waging a one woman war against Cricket Wireless! I’m ready to torture like medieval style up on some Mexican phone company. Is that what Jesus would do?  F*ck yeah if he had Cricket Wireless!
