Alltel Customer Service Sucks

Doesn't Matter - 30 Jun 2006 23:36 GMT
I filed a complaint with the Executive Office people of Alltel today
and was assured by Doris that she would get back to me before cob
today concerning my problem. Well that didn't happen. President and
CEO of Alltel, Scott Ford should be made aware that his executive
office staff are not living up to standards they claim. I will travel
to Little Rock and tell Scott Ford in person, should I ever get the
opportunity. This will be done legally and within the limits of the
law. I urge all people who are dis-satiusfied with their service to
call the Executive Office staff and let them know how and why you
might be dis-satisfied with your Alltel service.

oh, I am gonna do better than that in just a few hours

July 1, 2005, girlfriend and I bought 2 Motorola v265 phones, with a one
year contract at WAL-MART

March 11, 2006, the THIRD phone I had broke, again,. in researching the
model online, it had several major issues.

the Store in texarkana on Summerhill rd, was less than helpful. I tried to
call to see if they had one, and their voicemail was always full.

after making a one hour trip, and sitting for another hour, they did not
have a replacement phone for me.

I asked if they would give me another phone to use,and in exchange,
girlfriend and I would be willing to lock into a 2 year agreement, till
7-1-2008

NO, you are not due for an upgrade yet.

okay, I went to another provider, and got another phone

March 25, we go back to the same store, since girlfriends phone had broke.

they were tripping all over themselves to upgrade her...... probably because
the account is in her name..... even though *I* pay the bill for the last
two years.

uh............. NO. you had that choice two weeks ago, and factually
breached the contract, since you did not have a phone for me to use. I have
went to another provider, she is going to get a phone there, and we WILL
shut off the phones July 1, when the contract expires. We attempted to give
you every opportunity to keep me happy, but you didn't want to, because it
wasn't time for an upgrade. but its less than a week now,and you want to
upgrade hers..... right!!!

Wal-Mart did step up to the plate, and refunded the price of my phone......
MOTOROLA did not answer any e-mails.

So, ALLTEL...... you wanted me to pay you for a full month from June 14-
July 13....... I did that today..... I also called the Attorney generals
office, and the Little rock BBB.....

can't wait for 10 AM to get here........ gonna be fun turning off $1,100
worth of business to them a year.

Thanks for your input. I didn't even think to call the Raleigh BBB or
the State Attorney General's Office. I will do that either Monday or
Wednesday depending on the holiday closings. Have a great and safe
holiday period.

Hey General Lee, I am not seeing anything by you! I wonder why?
I told Alltel when I left Cingular that I would stay with them as long
as my wife could get a signal to call in case of emergency. She had a
problem with her truck and tried to call me and didn't have a signal
where she was at. A guy pulled up to help and he had a nextel phone
which worked perfectly. We went to nextel the next day and got phones.
Then Alltel sends me a bill for $$29.oo for early termination and I
called them and told them I would find out where Scott Ford live, in
the Little Rock area and wake him up on a Sunday morning and tell him
in person, how bad his customer service is. I won't do anything
illegal though cause Alltel isn't worth my freedom! The corporate
headquarters is in Little Rock, Arkansas and I have a sister in
Shreveport so the next time I visit her I will drive to Little Rock
and demonstrate..

Just FYI Alltel buys all of their roaming time from Sprint.

http://find.intelius.com/

Hmm...lots of Scott Fords on Intelius, but unlisted on Switchboard.com in
LR and the suburbs.  You can narrow it down with his middle initial a good
bit and his exact town/city even more.....

I traced down the head of Yamaha Motors in Indian Rocks, FL, when Yamaha
and its crappy dealer refused to fix my brand new Yamaha jetski back in
1997.  I called his house and asked his wife if he was home, like an old
friend, not as a hostile customer.  He came on the line and we had a nice
chat about my problem, but it never got fixed right so I returned it under
15USC50 2304(a)(4) of the Magnusson-Moss Warranty Protection Act that
Yamaha didn't think they were subject to.  They were...(c;

I doubt Scott will even know what's going on in his company.  The yes men
keep everything from him they can that's unpleasant, like most corporations
run by clones.

But, it's not illegal or immoral to talk to him, directly.....(c;

Too bad the Yamaha guy couldn't help me.  I spent the money I would have
given them to trade up to a big jetboat to Sea Ray....tsk, tsk....

Pity.....

I thought the matter was over a bit more than $29.00.;-)

How long into the contract were you?  And I take it you feel you don't
owe the money because of substandard coverage?

>Hey General Lee, I am not seeing anything by you! I wonder why?

Considering you only first posted details of your issue below, how on
earth could I be expected to comment on something I knew nothing
about?

>I told Alltel when I left Cingular that I would stay with them as long
>as my wife could get a signal to call in case of emergency. She had a

If that works out best in your area, then great.  No provider is the
best in all areas.  But you signed a contract with them, didn't you?
I understand where you are coming from about the signal issue but
that's something that should have been addressed within the
cancellation period.  It's likely your use of the word "emergency" was
misinterpreted to mean a 911 call, which requires the phone to use any
signal it can find.  But at any rate, if their contract is like most,
it disallows any verbal claims made by the sales reps, so even if they
did understand what you meant by 'emergency", it won't invalidate your
agreement.

>Then Alltel sends me a bill for $$29.oo for early termination and I

Surely this is a typo.

>called them and told them I would find out where Scott Ford live, in
>the Little Rock area and wake him up on a Sunday morning and tell him
>in person, how bad his customer service is.

And what makes you think he'll pay any attention?

Fine, you have an issue and you're dealing with it.  Good luck with
that.  I think I'd spend my time trying to get the ETF thrown out in
mediation, but to each his own.

>Just FYI Alltel buys all of their roaming time from Sprint.

FYI:  No they don't.  Maybe in your area that is true, but isn't
nationwide.

contracts don't mean sh.t to ALLTEL

a one year contract from 7-1-2005 to 7-1-2006 means nothing, when your
BILLING runs 6-14-2006 to 7-13-2006.....

then its automatically a 1 yr two week contract
Jo - 16 Aug 2006 07:24 GMT
*ahem*

Contract = One thing
Bill Cycle = Other thing

If you don't like your bill cycle, you can always have a CSR change it for
you...

A corporate stooge?  I perfer "phone jockey extraordinaire", thank you very
much.  If by corporate stooge you mean do I work for them, then yes, yes I
do.  Are they perfect?  No.  Are they evil?  No.

Do uppity customers who insist on being right, say insulting things to CSRs
about them, their job, their employer, scream and yell, demand supervisors,
etc., get very far with *any* company?  No.  When I was with Dell, we used
to transfer them to Tech Support for Guatemala.

See also, under the $1,100 a year gripe, if you were paying that much, then
is the phone glued to your ear or something, or did you just never review
the rate plan that WalMart slammed you onto?

sheesh....

ok, done with this thread... have a nice day and thanks for choosing Alltel.

Shreveport to Little Rock??

lemme know, I will be glad to go and show  some strength in numbers
Jo - 16 Aug 2006 07:21 GMT
*sigh*

the ol' battle of my phone don't work therefore I don't have to pay.

you only get out of the contract if A) You die, B) The US Military deploys
you beyond the United States, or C) You terminate with 15 days of
activation.  Actually, you get out of everything but the activation fee for
that last one.  Your phone don't work, however, you signed a contract that
said I, Johnny Consumer, will buy a rate plan from my carrier for 24
consecutive months, though hell bar the way.  What you told Alltel does not
in any way, shape, or form outweigh what you agreed to on that contract.

ALSO!

On your "Alltel buys roaming from Sprint" claim: that is pure, unadulterated
bull sh.t.  If Sprint bought Nextel, and it's all the same network, and
Alltel bought roaming from Sprint, then wouldn't the Alltel phone work on
the Sprint/Nextel tower?  Until less than two months ago, Alltel had no
roaming agreement whatsoever with Sprint.  Truth be told, Alltel is proud
proprietor of America's largest network, making Alltel the single biggest
*seller* of roaming minutes, not the other way around.

And how the heck is your wife not having a signal related to Alltel's
customer service?  How is it providing poor customer service if you fail to
read the contract that you legally bound yourself in?  I fail to see where
Alltel did anything other than what they told you they would from day
one--provide service in those locations where a signal could be had, allow
you the right to do as you please with your features and rate plan, and
charge you a $200 Early Disconnect Penalty if you break the agreement to buy
a rate paln for 24 consecutive months.

It figures, a top post newb.

I wouldn't let Alltell lick the sweat off of my balls if they were
dying of thirst on the highway from Texarkana to Shreveport. I knew
when I told that customer service rep that I would get some goody two
shoes to post in here how great Alltel was. Your customer service web
site was where I obtained the information that Alltell buys roaming
services from Sprint. Therefore you have admitted that your web site
is pure unadulterated bull sh.t. I don't have to worry though, I am no
longer bound by a contract to Alltel. Why don't you go kiss Scott's
a.s some more you corporate freak of nature.

Uhm... phones don't break themselves, y'know.  I had a Nokia do that once,
but the nice lil drop on the concrete floor at work a week previous sure
helped.

And why did you do the research after you bought it?  Wouldn't it have made
more sense to do the research first?

OK, this is a legitimate gripe, and I will not defend Retail for failing to
live up to the brand promises if that's legitimately the experience you had.

Did it occur to you to call Customer Service instead of driving?  $8 in
shipping is probably way less than what you paid in gas... unless you're
looking for a warranty exchange, in which case, you get to blame Motorola
for that--their warranty, their money, therefore, their terms.

Uhm.... didn't you say you signed a 1 year contract?  If that's the case,
why didn't you point that out?  And besides, the only reason the contract
exists is that Alltel takes a bath on the phone when they sell it at that
discounted rate.

[quoted text clipped - 3 lines]

Well... let's think... account is in her name... she signs contracts, her
credit takes the hit if you stop paying the bill, so before we go and stick
another contract on these numbers, shouldn't we consult the person who
signed the lil paper that says s/he took ultimate responsibility for the
whole enchilada?  If Retail had let you sign that upgrade contract, would
you be on about it being invalid since you're not the account holder?

No, and no.  Alltel is not liable for the phone--you are.  Read the
contract, then cite it.  And you can upgrade within 90 days of the contract
expiring.

And didn't you say you took a ONE year in 2005??  Why did it not dawn on you
or your g/f to point this out to any of the retail reps, or call and talk to
Customer Service (who can do upgrades) or Cancellations (who has control of
the contract)?

> Wal-Mart did step up to the plate, and refunded the price of my phone......
> MOTOROLA did not answer any e-mails.

That's because WalMart sold you the phone in the first place.  If they own
and operate the kiosk, they train the rep, they own the phones.  If WalMart
admits "Oh, right, we sold you a piece of poo", then it's on them to return
it--not Alltel.

And what did the Attorney General tell you?  Hopefully READ YOUR CONTRACT!
The terms and conditions state that the last month is not prorated.  After
all that time, you know when the bill cycles.  You know how it's billed.
You had every opportunity to protect yourself as a consumer, and instead,
you opted to terminate 1 day into your bill cycle.  Is that Alltel's fault?
Hardly.

YES, GIRLFRIEND signed a one year contract. Girlfriend was standing right
beside me, when I offered to hang around for **TWO YEARS** additional, to
get the situation handled.  No, instead ALLTEL opted to lose a 2 phone
contract, generating $1,100 a year

Girlfriend was with me on both occasions, March 11, and March 25.

ALLTEL had an opportunity to keep the $1,100 a year in business on March 11,
they chose not to, and they have to live with their decision

there is a dumb bitch named Vivian at the local wal-mart store here..... she
and I are fixing to have a go round with my Cingular phone I bought there in
May..... I SWORE I would never buy another NON NOKIA, flip phone, or another
phone from walmart, but when you live in "green acres", and girlfriends
ALLTEL motorola that she got replaced March 25, craps out again on May 8,
and she is leaving May 10 for a out of state trip, you do what you gotta
do.... give her your NOKIA, because WM has crap for selection, and buy
something cheap, and pray.... still didn't work... time to call the regional
manager at WM this week, before I go fight with vivian this weekend.......

well, I did better by ALLTEL then they did by me.

thats why **I** fired them July 1.

I called, told them to transfer me to wherever, knowing I would get
transferred to someone that would try to talk me out of cancelling

conversation went something like this.... this is Mark, calling about acct #
whatever, in the name of Charlene, address is etc, etc, etc,

its july 1, go read the log on this account.... you can cancel them right
now, on my say so, or I will hand the phone to her 3 feet away, and she will
tell you to cancel them

you wanna do it the easy way, or the hard way??

the phones were off within 30 minutes...  ALLTEL swore I couldn't cancel
them myself

ALLTEL LIES a lot!!

Not call the store.  Do NOT call the store.  The store is a *sales* channel,
not a *service* channel, it's like that with most companies.  They sell
things, not fix things.

Again, why did you not point out that it was a 1 year and you should have
been eligible?  Answer the question and take some liability for screwing
*yourself*.  Or, you *think* you signed a 1 year, but you paid 2 year price
and never read your contract...

And there's no such thing as a 2 phone contract.  That's why you'd get 2
penalties--two contracts, one for each line.

Or, Retail said "hey, if we lose this one, we don't have to see him ever
again..."

And you're proud of yourself because you threatened to flip out on
Retention, the one and only one department that could have gotten you the
new phones if you had CALLED THE DAMN CALL CENTER in the first place?!
Instead you keep calling the store, the Retail (retail, meaning SELLS
THINGS) store, instead of Customer Service?  Do you think you're going to
get Customer Service from someone other than Customer Service?

I'm so glad you think we lie, and I take personal exception to that.  Having
worked in a lot of call centers for a lot of craptastic companies, I know
what a company that lies a lot is (I'm thinking of a Texas-based computer
company... another story...).  While you may have a point about bad service
at Retail, you should also realize that the store is not the end-all,
be-all, you disserviced yourself by insisting on driving yourself crazy with
Retail, you didn't read your contracts, you're probably one of those folks
who beats the crap out of his phone (which I do too, which is why I have
phone insurance), and then demands free things left and right.  These things
cost *money* and we're not Unicef.  You really sound like the kind of guy
who calls whatever company and thinks because you paid them for this that or
the other  that they should bow down and kiss your balls and let you scream
and threaten and be abusive.  This, sir, is not only a bad way to do
business, but a great way to make sure no service person anywhere ever
offers to go one inch out of their way--to say nothing of being just
blatantly uncivilized.

Anyway, I'm done with this thread.  You have fun with Cingular, and whoever
you choose to use after them, and keep on goin' back to that WalMart...

$1,100 a year for a cellphone or two... gee, you must really be a player.
$1,100 a month is a drop in the bucket to them for the amount of bitching
and whining you give them.  Hell yes, go to Wal-Mart and see what kind of
service after the sale you get there.

I bet you were late on your bill all the time too, thus tying up more
resources of Alltel's collection department.  They are better off without
you.  Trust me.

f.ck YOU, a.shole

the bill was paid in full on the first of the month, every month, and due by
the third

just punch a few phone numbers in the phone... and they take it right out of
the checking acct

ALLTEL is a cheap company anyway

CINGULAR runs my debit card like a credit card. and I get reward points on
my purchase every month

ALLTEL said it was too early...... APRIL 1 I qualified. MARCh 25, though ,
they were peeing themselves wanting to make girlfriend happy. maybe because
it was HER contract??
