I am trying to rectify a phone bill with family mobile, I misunderstood the plan offered and would like some answers as to how to cancel this service so no more fees are applied.

The phone was suspended in November at which time I thought it was a pre-paid phone so I was under the impression that if not used no charges.

I contacted a representative who told me the phone was cancelled on Dec 19,2014.

I definitely , under fault of my own misunderstanding owe a little more than $40, I am confused as to how I owe 71.

00 , I did not receive any bill and my account was no longer accessible when the phone was cancelled, I had no idea it was still accruing fees.

I am asking first, a confirmation as to the status of this plan which I want cancelled once for all and secondly what the final…

Acct # 888493878 phone#901-340-8567.

Bill $72.

20.

I do not have this service.

Nor this number.

I went to Wal-mart #94 about 3 month ago looking for a new phone and service.

The sales person started to enter my information and start an account for me.

My husband asked a few more question and we found that the service was not going to work at our home.

So the sales lady told me that she cancel and backed out the sale.

She Return the cost of the sim card to me and we look at another service and phone.

We bought another service and phone while there.

But I am getting a bill from Family Mobile and being told that I am 86 days late and that this will go against my credit.

What I would like is to have this cleared up.

Clear up the bill.

As I never even had a phone with this…

I switched all three lines to a different provider,called and cancelled the Family Mobile service, switched all numbers over and was billed an additional 66.

00 for a month of service on the primary phone.following this I have been given two email addresses to respond and they don't seem to exist I have a final bill due for 139.

41 which I want to pay but unless these added bogus charges of 66.

14 are not removed I will not pay the bill I have communicated this in excrutiating detail to Family Mobile customer service and they can do nothing.i cannot pay these additional charges because im not going to wiilingly get ripped off I feel like im waisting my time even writing this email so if I get no response I guess I will never pay.

I purchased family mobile a month ago.

I called many times and tried to get my phone set up correctly so that I can use their internet service.

Unfortunately, their tech support are so poor trained.

They don't know much about the configuration to add APN setting onto my iphone 3G.

Also, some of them are so rude and not helpful.

My phone often show no service.

The clarity of voice is not so clear.

They use unlimited talk, text, and data access to fool people while they only supply a limited amount of data services for so many user to share, of course the quality is poor.

On Family Mobile acct#. #878708468 I bought new services with metro pcs on Dec.

14th, 2014.

The representative called family mobile to verify name with acct#.

He then transferred my phone no.

He removed the family mobile sim card and replaced it with metro pcs.

My phone was placed on a new acct#(969588017.

I have not used family mobile since 12/14/2012.

I am having trouble finding someone to please remove all charges up until that point.

I enjoyed using Family Mobile but now do not want to continue and finding it difficult to get in touch with anyone from cust. service dept. there.

On October 18, 2014 I got my phone activated and paid only $26.

02 for unlimited talk and text.

Then on November 23, 2014 I paid $26.

02 again for my monthly bill for unlimited talk and text. on December 23, 2014 I was told by text message that I had to pay $37.

84.

I called the 1-877 number and was told the increase was because of the internet feature.

However I never called and asked for the internet to be added to my account.

I tried to cancel the internet feature as I do not get on the internet.

However the guy on the phone told me that since my bill was already due I had to pay the $37.

84.

I went to Wal-Mart to pay the bill and the lady said my bill total was $26.

02 I paid that on December 23, 2014. on December 26 you turned off my phone saying I owed $11.

I paid that…
