34 attempts never received my sim card in my me

3 or 4 attempts or more but I never received a SIM card to my melon address that told me to go to total wireless to pick up the SIM card. I guess I need a reference number or something to pick it up.

App stopped working, why are they the last to know? Was put on hold for 10 minutes and hung up.

Bad service, tech, robot greeter and humans who try to upsell you as salespeople rather than customer service problem-solvers. Blah!

All my information was not transferred from my iPhone 11 to your iPhone. I can't make phone calls.

All my stored messages are gone. I lost my ability to search. I cancelled my Spectrum account, so I can't communicate with anyone.

Where can I go to have this fixed? I gave your salesperson $150.

10 Reasons Not To Use Truconnect

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - The service has mistakes and is unreliable.
  • - Reps upsell despite customer complaints.
  • - No corporate contact listed; refunds are hard.

1. Makes too many mistakes

2.

Only interested in making money off the customers, not resolving issues

3. Shuts down service for no good reason, for multiple days or more, so is very unreliable

4. Refuses to escalate or stalls customers from speaking to supervisors because their personal brand is more important than helping the customer and company paying them to assist it's customers which is very selfish, unprofessional, customer unfriendly and maybe AI replaceable for the bad reps

5. Reps are scripted to upsell you devices and top-ups even if you just complained about the company, which is ridiculous

6.

Survey after the call frequently malfunctions, and I believe could be rigged to report only the positive responses. Pissed Consumer has 238 raters who give Truconnect 1.9 out of 5.0 which is awful. Companies might not stay in business with that kind of trash numbers

7. Customer service is generally poor as noted in Pissed Consumer reviews which you should definitely read.

Many reps do not understand or speak English well. Some are just rude. dumb, arrogant, incompetent or some combination of these poor qualities. A few generally care and are good but very low percentage

8.

Company cannot accurately tell you how much data you have left in the app, requiring a call with wait time for a customer rep. The automated system should be able to tell you but they make you wait for a live rep so he or she can try to upsell you, an incredibly bad and dumb policy

9. No phone number listed on the company website for corporate office to file complaints directly with them (but you can get it elsewhere online with a search)

10. No partial refund policy even if they admit it was their mistake, and full refund is difficult or beyond (if paid with credit card, you could and should dispute the charge via the bank.

I got refunded this way

I hope corporate management and interested parties read this so Truconnect can be held accountable and get a clue. I recommend you as a customer or potential one disconnect from Truconnect, or not connect at all and keep looking if not a current customer.

Much better choices are out there. Truconnect could and should be better, but just is not, cannot be trusted, and often ends up being a colossal waste of time and money.

Transferred from safelink to truconnect. Service got missed up and contacted lifeline and been going down hill ever since.

I had my number for a while and now I've been having nothing but problems and can't get my service restored even though I sent in the proper documents. This company is BS!

Got Cheated Again On Megabyte Purchase

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Gigs bought to last 30 days; reps gave conflicting expiry dates.
  • - 5 gigs remain; info was wrong and the system blocks purchases.
Updated by user Jul 09, 2025

I contacted the company again and spoke to a supervisor. If you can believe it,I was told that my carrier via Truconnect, Verizon, does not provide how many gigabytes are left, only the daily usage that month.

So the reps at Truconnect manually have to add up all the usage daily and subtract it from how many gigabytes you have purchased or otherwise have in your account. In this day and age, a computer can't figure that out? Yet T-Mobile, the other Truconnect provider, does provide the account balance. So why can't Verizon?

Truconnect should mandate this from Verizon or get rid of them if they can't do this simple task as does T-Mobile. Or Truconnect should have a computer program to figure this out. Why don't they??? When you press the number 1 prompt when calling Truconnect for Account Balance, instead of being given the information per the above, you are transferred to a live rep for the exclusive purpose (in my opinion) of being told that you have less data in your account than you think and therefore need to buy more (untrue in several cases with me), and/or they will try to upsell you topups for more data and/or an upgraded device.

I was also told contradictory/conflicting information by different reps that the Truconnect app accurately reflects the balance in your account, and from a different rep to not rely on the app for this data information, call us instead. This whole situation is very circular and ridiculous. I hope clients see this and rethink this company. Truconnect totally needs to get its act together.

I will add that several genuinely good-hearted reps I spoke with by phone understand what's really going on and empathize with the customer, which is of some comfort within all this nonsense. After all, they are good people and customers, too. There are no USA reps, only in Guatemala, India and Philippines. Sometimes language is a barrier both in their understanding my request and my understanding their response.

Nice people but need to be better with the English language.

Hope this helps both the company, its clients/stakeholders, and its customers better understand how Truconnect operates and definitely can improve. Would like to have the company be my company of choice because there are a few good things about it, but the company has a lot of work to do to earn that business.

Original review Jul 05, 2025
My data gets refreshed every month on a selected date, let's say the 20th. By the 10th, I ran out of data and bought more gigs.

I was told these additional gigs last for 30 days, until the 10th of the next month. But I was told by another front-line phone rep later on that these 10 gigs ran out on the 26th, only 10 days later. I then got a supervisor who told me the information I was given is not true; I have 5 gigs left, not zero. The supervisor will now speak to the rep from India and correct him.

Other front-line reps have also told me (and probably many others) this same inaccurate, false information about purchased gig remainders no longer being available when your monthly plan gigs are refreshed, which makes it seem like Truconnect wants the customer to buy more gigabytes when they are not needed, thus cheating and robbing the customer.


The automated system is also a colossal failure that repeats itself and does not let the customer proceed, even if the customer wants to buy more data. Truconnect needs to be much better and not lie to and cheat its own customers.
Loss:
$20
Cons:
  • Reps try to talk customers into buying more when not needed
  • Automated system is repetitive and faulty

Preferred solution: Full refund

The MyTruConnect app will give you up to the minute data and minute usage/balance. No need to call anyone.

Truconnect app is flawed and does not reveal true data you have available. I am awaiting gigabytes owed and the company is late again.

They sometimes say they are there when they are not. This has happened multiple times and I am having this situation "looked into". Their survey asks how likely I am to recommend Truconnect.

If I get my prepaid gigs on time, maybe. If not, NEVER and I am warning consumerd to keep away from this company.

I did not give consent for a transfer from Airtalk-Wireless to true-connect

AI Highlights
  • - True Connect offered a $50 tablet after ID check; I declined.
  • - I did not consent to any offer or receive a device; Lifeline transfer concerns raised.

TruConnect - I did not give consent for a transfer from Airtalk-Wireless to... - Image 3

After coming out from BioLife plasma donation at 1346 W Foothill Blvd, Rialto, CA 92376, I went to a Food 4 Less in the same strip center, a couple of businesses toward the right from my destination at BioLife Plasma, and someone from True Connect asked if I wanted to see if I qualified for a tablet. I was a bit hesitant due to the fact that I am already enrolled with a carrier, Airtalk Wireless. He was persistent about it, so I gave him my medical card and my ID to see if I qualify for a tablet. I told him he could check if I qualify, but I don't want it to affect my current carrier, Airtalk Wireless, so he put my information on his phone. I came to the conclusion he said that I qualified. He told me he got me 85% off and I would only have to pay $50 for the tablet. Although his persistence, I declined the offer. The next day, which is today, April 20, 2025, which is a Saturday, I received a text from my current carrier saying, and I quote, 'We noticed that your Lifeline benefits are being transferred. Since you left before 180 days of service, your device agreement applies. You may be charged for the device or must return it.' By the meaning of this, the free Airtalk Wireless phone I got is resulting in penalties such as potential fees or returning it due to them thinking I transferred my Lifeline. In other words, Airtalk Wireless thinks I transferred carriers to join True Connect.

To give a better explanation of why I am writing two True Connect complaints, it is to acknowledge and inform that I was not aware of what the True Connect phone providers did with the use of my information, nor did I give permission to switch carriers to True Connect. On the other hand, because of his persistence, I provided my ID, medical information, and the last four of my social. I am not aware of the steps and what a phone provider or carrier does and forms filled out to gain information on whether I qualify or not, nor do I work for a carrier company. In conclusion, I am unaware of procedures and regulations, nor was I in visual view to see what information steps or forms were filled out to check if one may qualify for services. May I also remind True Connect that I did not consent or agree to any offers? The point of this argument that I provided is to be acknowledged and aware of what was done for the process of qualifications for carrier services on electronic devices. Need I also mention I was not given an electronic device, nor did I receive services? The whole point of the True Connect carrier's phone provider persistence was to check if I qualified.

In other words, as I provided in this text toward the beginning, it was to see if I qualified and the information I was given from him was, 'Yes, sir, I do see here that you qualify for services,' he said. One informed that all I would have to pay is $50 for the carrier services on the electronic tablet. After denying paying and accepting service multiple times, I said farewell and thanks for the offer, but I would have to decline. Afterwards, I left approximately after Saturday. As of today, which is Sunday, Airtalk Wireless contacts me due to reasons and information never seen that I was transferring carriers from Airtalk Wireless to True Connect. My name is Marcos Martinez, and I would like to kindly be informed and acknowledged of why I was transferred to True Connect. From what I'm aware of, the True Connect phone provider suggested to see if I qualified. From what I was aware of, my information was provided to receive information on qualifications. All I ask is for information on the possibilities of my Lifeline service being transferred to another carrier and why my current Lifeline services with the carrier Airtalk Wireless were transferred to another carrier. The results of this situation left me with a deactivated account.

Loss:
$500

Preferred solution: Information of what went wrong or if a mistake happened And if possible for the issue to be fixed

User's recommendation: Be aware of what could happen when willing to check if you qualify or not And persistent phone providers who need a better answer than just I don’t think so A warning to those who have lifeline services with a carrier already, and just want to check if they qualify for the reasons of phone provider persistent Ness or curiosity The results of seeing if you would qualify or not, although you already have a carrier service Carly to account deactivation

75 percent of the reviews here are negative about Truconnect and I agree. Shoddy service.

They're all about the money and not about the customer. Cal Lifeline should disconnect from them. My April gigs never arrived and these devious reps from another country made every excuse including blaming the innocent customer instead of taking responsibility for their own incompetence. Dump this chump and move on.

Unprofessional and amateurish company.

Probably won't be in business much longer. Do NOT make any commitments to this company and their unethical practices!

I accidentally overpaid, got refunded quickly, all was good. Until I purchased gigs for the upcoming month and Truconnect wrongfully shut down my service for a few days stating that I still owe the amount they already refunded!

WTF?! What incompetence! Then, after finally admitting their mistake, they refused to give a refund for the unserviced days I had already prepaid, so they stole customer money. I fight back, and so should you.

I contacted my bank which refunded me the money and might investigate the Truconnect since, technically speaking, it was their money that was stolen until I pay back the credit card company, as might government agencies I contacted. If Truconnect is either that dumb*** or wants to play hardball, play hardball back. This place is a clown show. I hope ownership or the legal community reads these posts and takes action.

The survey at the end of the call wants to know if the issue has been resolved, how you rate the customer service received, and how likely you are to recommend the company.

My answers are no, very low, and no, respectively. Truconnect: Read the reviews here on Pissed Consumer, understand that your company is the problem, get rid of the customer service reps who are costing you business, and go fix yourself.

Deceptive Money-Grabbers

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - The system can't show data balance or total gigs left.
  • - The app is inaccurate and pushes upsells, and the automated system still requires a live rep.

The phone reps and automated system cannot even tell you how many total gigs you have left, so if you have an emergency, you might run out of data and not know it. Their app is inaccurate.

They try to upsell you a device or top-ups whether you need them or not, want to hear about them or not (ridiculously scripted). The automated system should be able to tell you the account balance, but instead, when you press the number 1 prompt as instructed, you have to wait for a live rep who then has to reverify you and then cannot tell you your balance (a supervisor is also not able to do this).

The survey is another clown show. The first question is whether your issue has been resolved.

If you press 2 for no, there is silence, you cannot proceed; then it repeats itself constantly with the same results.

You therefore cannot give the rep a good score if deserved, bad situation for the employees. And this is a tech/telecom company?!

Loss:
$20
Pros:
  • Some reps are competent
Cons:
  • Too many reps with language barrier isaues
  • Constant unwanted upsells
  • Reps cannot or are not allowed to provide basic information

Preferred solution: Full refund

Company continues to have excessive tech problems. Cannot give accurate data usage numbers.

Cannot tell you when next payment is due based on inconsistent information depending on which rep you talk with. Cannot tell you when your data usage starts and ends. Cannot take the survey at the end of the call because it gets STUCK on the first question of 3 it is to ask. Every time this happens in the future, which wastes my time after I kindly am willing to take the survey, I will go online and tell everyone who reads about Truconnect.

Is someone in tech support at Truconnect purposely denying management from receiving negative survey results, and customers from providing this important information?

If so, why? I want the public to know this is happening at the company, and whomever else needs to know so the customers can be protected.

The MyTruConnect app gives you up to the minute usage on minutes and data. There is no need to call anyone or throw your little fit.

Definitely need to call. With Truconnect you need to double-verify everything.

The automated system should tell you how much data you have left but when you press the correct prompt for this you are transferred to a foreign rep who tries to upsell you topups or a device.

I do not want to be treated like a revenue target, do not trust their data numbers on the app which is why you need to call in to verify, and hang up once they start the upsell (which automatically reduces my survey rating for both the rep and the company). Disgusting business practices that have now been reported.

There should be a prompt for preferring to talk to a USA rep when you first call in. Why isn't there?

Are there any USA reps?

If not why not? Is the plan to go foreign customer service only because it's cheaper, then replace all reps with AI because it's cheaper thus screwing both the reps and customers who want live service???
