I got exactly what I was looking for in a very timely manor! by misseyk ,Jul 18 '06
As a csr myself I found the csr a bit unfriendly and made it seem like he was going out of his way to place my order when it was his job but the delivery was very quick, got exactly what I wanted and all I had to do was charge it up and go which I was very happy about! I will never purchase through the store again wirefly.com did all the work within a 5 minute phone call that you would normally spend an hour at the store for
My overall experience was EXCEPTIONAL! by learjet90802 ,Jul 04 '06
I was amazed how easy and convenient the step by step ordering process was. I received my phone within 36 hours of placing the order and the tracking of your package on-line is great too! I was overall very impressed with everything from start to finish. I have already recommended Wirefly to two friends.
I ordered a new cell phone on the 26 and it arrived on the 29.. how cool is that.. they have excellent products.. I am very happy that i ordered at their website..
Although the order was processed excellently; the phones were shipped on the 30th of March but not received until the 4th of April. The really bad part however is that the phones were activated and being billed to me 5 days before I received them. In addition the assigned phone numbers were not even local to my area. (Area code 512 vs 210)
HORRIBLE SERVICE!!!!!!!!
They might have cheap prices, although you can always find better deals at amazon or wirelessbuy, but their service is horrible. Needed a warranty repair and after 6 calls, 2 hours in waiting line, several not honoured call back promises and a different story every time they finally confirmed that they do not service warranties. Take your money elsewhere and never look back at those crooks
Happy, then sad, then relieved. by khshopper ,Jul 21 '09
It is really too bad that Wirefly has no customer service, their website and prices are good. When other reviewers rate their service as horrible, they are telling the truth. I tried to buy a set of phones from them, but due to a problem with transferring our numbers, the delivery was held up. I got an email to contact them. The problem is you can't. Their automated phone service says order is in process and hangs up on you and their is no option for a real person. Their automated emailer doesn't like something on my home (linux) or office (xp) system. I shop a huge amount online and this time I broke my golden rule -> if someone is not responsive to questions, don't buy from them. I should of checked or googled for reviews of wirefly before I choose them. Luckily I cancelled my order and will now probably buy from the Verizon Store. Oh well, live and learn.
Terrible! Avoid at all costs! by tmoore48 ,Jul 11 '07
Bar none, I have NEVER had a worse customer service experience. I got an email asking to call *immediately* due to a problem with my order, after 2 mins on the line, was told that the call center wasn't open (not earlier in the call, or on the urgent email), called back during regular hours to get an Indian call center (why would I have to wait for ET hours to get an Indian call center?). I was told there was no problem, and I was never told why I needed to call so urgently. When I emailed to complain about this, I got a form letter (I know it was a form letter as I received it TWICE) apologizing for uncouth treatment. Uncouth? Really? In any case, my phones were eventually shipped and delivered and activated, but my contract was never updated. When I contacted the company, I was told that they couldn't do anything, and I need to call Sprint directly. I honestly can't think of a single thing this company did well, and their customer service is abysmal. Avoid this company at all costs.
Quasi-fraudulent, unhelpful by xyzzy88 ,Jul 05 '07
When you call customer service, a recorded message warns you that they are experiencing higher than normal call volumes right now and you should visit their website - always - even when they're closed.
Arranged for my cell for cell phone to activate several days after it arrived.
Did arrange for my current phone to be deactivated promptly (thru number portability) - granted the carriers may have been involved in that. But still between the 3 of them (old carrier, new carrier, Wirefly) the managed to leave me with 2 useless phones for several days.
Wirefly's customer followup and communication is non existent. They do not provide adequate information about your order, nor communicate any delays or reasons for delays. The site is difficult to navigate when you are trying to locate information or status of an order. The telephone support appears to be from off shore and its difficult to understand. After a 10 day delay with no information from the site, I cancelled my order. Avoid this site, you can do better.
I would not recommend anybody to shop here. by kfshopper ,Sep 26 '06
Wirefly charged me for the wrong phone which was $300 more than the one I ordered. They required a large deposit for no reason. And before I could cancel my order they changed my service from cingular to T-mobile without my authorization.
DO NOT BUY FROM WIREFLY EXPECTING ANY KIND OF REBATE!! by natashakdr ,Aug 25 '06
UPDATE: I found a site that may help you get your rebate. Go to www.HelpWithRebate.com - a sited dedicated to getting wirefly rebates. I called one of the phone numbers listed and actually talked to a person who checked the status of my rebate right then, said I was approved and I would receive a check in 2-3 weeks. We'll see if it works.
ORIGINAL REVIEW:
Go to www.bbb.org (better business bureau) and search InPhonic Inc. Wirefly operates under them and their membership has been revoked. They have had 2588 complaints in the last 36 months as of August 25, 2006. I wish I had read the reviews and searched the BBB. We got two "free" phones at $200 each with the promise that they would rebate the entire amount. Well, that was about 10 months ago and now if you call the rebate center, it goes straight to a recorded message that they had some problems that they are working on and you WILL receive your rebate. It's all lies. You will not get your rebate without a serious fight and even then you may not.
Customer service is terrible. Long wait and inaccurate. by gbruemmer ,Aug 22 '05
The online store order process and delivery went well. We ordered 2 phones for a Family Plan but one of the phones was not programmed correctly (number not sent to Verizon for setup). The customer service was horrendous. Wait times were long/phone menu terrible and they even misspelled www.wirefly.com (ww.wirefly.com) in the menu. They insisted on us calling Verizon when it was their problem. They would not take responsibilty for the problem and would not escalate to a supervisor. Acted like some rinky-dink Indian phone center.
Dishonest or incompetent? Which is it? Both? by faslam ,Aug 25 '05
These guys are either dishonest or incompetent. I told one of their call center managers that. He said that I could be wrong.
Actually, now I would agree with him. It's dishonesty and incompetence! The management is dishonest and knowingly withhold information by not giving the call center staff proper training. Two call center staff I talked to couldn't tell me the proper terms and conditions for getting my rebate. Their manager could. He defended himself by saying please read the fine print... "It's there for the education of our customers." Education, indeed. I would have needed to spend an *additional* $750 over two years to get my $300 rebate!
I refused the shipment. You don't want to deal with these people. They also go by TMI, Cellular Choices, and InPhonic, which is the real (scamming) company.
I received extremely poor service through-out my recent purchase experience with Wirefly.com. After over two weeks of emails and calls I finally found out that my order was being held up because of a porting fee ($59) that they wanted to charge me but was never made aware of in all my communications, except the last. Through-out the experience I was continually given incorrect and inaccurate information when I inquired about my order. Based on this information I sent many emails and made numerous calls which took a considerable amount of my valuable time. This now seems very deceptive and, moreover, completely unnecessary. Had anyone asked me about the fee I would have gladly authorized it. But, because of the poor customer service and run-a-rounds, I have canceled my order. I certainly hope that they don't treat all of their customers this way.
Item took approx a week to ship and arrive. Tracking showed a delay in credit authorization, never had that problem with credit card used. Tracking was inadequate, and there was no apparent advantage to 2nd day air shipment. There is lot's of room for improvement. Read more

The order was not filled. I was told there was an outstanding balance on my account. I responded that I had just returned to ATT from Time Warner and there was no issue with that - other than a required $50 deposit for the phone line. ATT did not have any specials at the time so I went to Wirefly. I have since ordered 5 cell phones from
ATT with no payment due at the time of purchase. I have not even received my first bill w/ATT.
Wirefly seems to be a good service - just didn't work for me since there wasn't any additional background checks to confirm what my situation was. Read more

Not Good...I first talked to someone I could understand. He told me the service and merchandise I was to receive,I was even told that the deposit that you were to make was waved on that particular day and I was to receive a free case for the L2.The person on the phone was very personable. All was fine.
I get an Email the next day telling me I need to contact them befor service can start.
Well...I call and get a person that sounds "Not of this area".
I'm having trouble understanding what he is saying often, He tells me now that I need to make the deposit and no case will be sent to me and when I ask why all he can say is "I'm sorry".
Repeatedly.
I'm thinking of canceling the service to advoid future problems. Read more

I was trying to purchase wireless service/cell phone for my parents. I called repeatedly, repeatedly, over a period of days and days, calling from my job where I don't have time to make personal phone calls, to contact a person at Wirefly who could answer my questions. 99% of the time I was trapped in their automated system, where you can only access if you already are a customer or purchased something new. Not very inviting for a potential customer. When I did ever finally reach a real person, they could or would not answer my questions and referred me to another phone number for so-called "customer service". Every time, the phone number they gave me either didn't work or brought me right back into the automated system that did not provide the information needed.
After this terrible service of course I should not have purchase the cell phone/plan, but I did. I received the phone. With no information about how or when it would be activated.
After two weeks plus the phone still has not been activated, despite my multiple calls!!! They keep saying it is still in process and I will receive a text message when it is done.
Meanwhile, the automated system tells me that my first month's "service"--which of course I was required to pay in advance--is done and my second month's service payment is due!!!!
Meanwhile, I actually have no phone service but they are charging me for the lack of service. And, meanwhile, I am paying twice -- for my old service, since I cannot cancel that service until my new service is activated and my phone number ported-- AND for the new lack of service with Wirefly!!!
And, calling today, it is the first time I learned that their "customer service" is only open M-F, 8:30-5:30!!! So, if I have trouble with my phone or service anytime from Friday night through Sunday night, I am out of luck! But they will continue to charge me!!!
So far, this is by far the worst "customer service" I have ever encountered! And, I've had some very bad experiences to compare this with!!
This is the company that AARP has selected for their cell phone/wirelss service??!! What a poor choice -- they will be hearing from me! My parents are AARP's audience -- they neither have the time nor the inclination to deal with nonsense. Why should an elderly person have to go through this??!! Read more

I feel the product advertisement did not back what the company wanted to charge. I have gotten phones in the past and never recieved my rebates. I felt this was a better promotion, but had a email wanting the money up front, even with the promotion offering a $100.oo refund to me. After not recieving my phone rebates in the past, I do not trust the cmopany to do it again. Read more
