I have had nothing but problems with the phones I have purchased. They start out working great. You get by the 90 day period the foul up and stop working.
The second phone I purchased, I was told was a 5G phone and I would receive a 5G sim card. I have a 4G phone and I received a 4G sim card. I called to explain the situation. I was told there isl nothing they can do. They can't just send me a new 5G sim card. I have to do with what I have.
I applied for qlink service had it for 3 months then it stopped working all together so I contacted customer service to understand what happened and how it can be fixed. First I was told my account was red flagged for fraud. Then gonna say it was permanently canceled for suspicious activity. And I can no longer use or apply for the phone service. They could not tell me any other information about the supposedly fraud/suspicious activity.
Haven't heard from tech support been longer than they say,no help at all with trying to get Sims card in
Omg. Their phone is garbage, can't see the screen, the phone does not ring when a call comes in. It does not give notice on incoming text messages. I missed my dentist appointment and will never get a job with this phone. I reported them as fraud.
The service has been reliable since day ONE.
-Why does Qlink offer me Amazon Prime and then says it can't?
- Why does Qlink send me emails that say "Upgrade to UNLIMITED for FREE" when I have been bundled with ACP? What the h*ll are you offering?
-WHY?
THANK YOU QLINK WIRELESS FOR MAKING THIS UNLIMITED CONNECTION POSSIBLE FOR SO MANY LIVES. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK.
When I transferred my phone and number over to qlink wireless from my previous service provider I had some difficulty at first but eventually I was able to succeed. I now enjoy my new service with qlink wireless and I would highly recommend Q Link wireless to all my family and friends who are looking for a dependable and reliable phone service provider!
I'm giving a 3 star only because I have not received all the incentives I was supposed to get. I signed up for the Lifeline service and the deal I signed up under was if I transferred my phone number and brought my own device I would receive an Amazon giftcard $20 or $25, free Amazon prime for 2 months and a tablet for $10. I did not pay for the tablet yet because I'm broke. I did receive the email about getting prime free but never got the giftcard. However...I was thrilled to be able to keep my phone number when I switched from boost mobile to qlink. I was also thrlled that I could use my own phone. The 5g service that I get is great and I get better signal than I did on boost mobile.ibwas with boost for many years but I had to change service because I am homeless and could not pay the service anymore.so this was a blessing for me to be able to have free phone service. I use it everyday to look for jobs and get help with my disabilities. I am grateful for that because atleast I can keep up with my job se as rich and keep in touch with my family and let them know I'm alive still. I can't always get to my dr apptsbut I can use my phone to cancel or reschedule. I wish they had service to help me get a peaceful private shower and a hot meal from time to time. I can only buy cold food and quick snacks on my EBT card because I have no way to cook. If each person who reads my review would send me $1 it could really help me get back on my feet. *******@TacosTacos
I am on the ACP plan with Q Link Wireless my phone was giving me a lot of problems but I did not have a lot of money to spend on a new phone so I went on Q Link and they had a phone that was regular $80. I got it with a tablet because of the Acp program for $30 off so I ended up paying $50. When I got both the tablet and the phone I was so disappointed because I cannot even answer my phone most of the time the phone runs so slow you cannot hit the green button to answer the phone because it won't answer it before the call ends runs out of rings cuz it just runs that slow you can't run any apps on it nor the tablet for it's the same These tablets are giving because the government is paying $100.00 toward a device that will go online and they're trying to make sure everybody has a way of getting on the Internet. I think it is terrible for a company to take advantage of people they already know can't afford these products and give them a product that they cannot even use.I have a phone and tablet that is useless to me because it won't stay charged or it runs too slow to complete any. I don't have the money to buy another one because I've dspent my money with a company I thought I could trust apparently I was wrong.The one star is because I had no choice but to rate it with a star just to leave the review
Can't use my sim without phone. Was told I'd be getting an upgrade. Since I have been with the company for so long. Thanks
Ordered a replacement phone from them for $99.95 2 weeks ago have been trying ever since to contact someone there by email six times and by phone on hold numerous times and being told finally today that they will not be able to refund the money and we just have to keep the phone... not acceptable this is supposed to be a company that helps people who are in need and instead they are stealing money from someone on disability
My experience with Qlink has been great. I never had any contact with them besides the initial setup. They were very helpful then and since I've never had any reason for further contact is why they are great!
They not only stole from me.But they lie every month saying I ran out of unlimited minutes and that I have to wait for two weeks just to be able to use my phone again...these people have made me miss Christmas because I was in the hospital and was not able to contact with my family...I have had a death in my family and didn't know...I have missed my doctor's appointment all because of this horrible service and more so horrible staff
Qlink gives excellent service and let's you know when something happens. Plus they let you know when your plan has been renewed.
I was never given a phone and the phone I already owned when I got my Sim card. I have borrowed 4 phones now I had to return phone to owner. I need a phone
I signed up for Q-link over a year ago and it's been a nightmare. It took almost 3 weeks to get a SIM. It took 2 days to get someone on the phone to activate the service and bring my old number to qlink. They have a list of 5 standard responses to everything. And they just keep repeating them over and over and over and over ad nauseam. I think T-Mobile should be ashamed that they actually use q Link as their ACP provider. It's abusive really and nobody can give you and solve the answer to any question. The answer to where's my sim is we can't give you a delivery date. If you ask is it a week, or a month, they can't tell you. I try to blame it on the post office but the post office tells me that qlink to to assign a delivery date and they have to wait until delivery date is assigned. That could be anything from days to weeks to months. I know one person who waited 2 months for a SIM card from qlink which makes the service worthless. So now I'm without service until Q-link decides that they are going to deliver my SIM card which could be 2023 or could be 2024 who knows. In the meantime I will be forced to choose another service.
This service has been surprisingly simple to partake in and manage, everything has been incredibly smooth and easy on my part, the only "negative" so far was waiting on the SIM card in the mail and reassuring myself on legitimacy due to the easy sign up and fast transfer with my own phone. Absolutely recommend for anyone eligible and needing a little help.
They made this ez and for even the not so smart step by step guidance from begining to end! Thanks q-link
Never get those srrvice. Thrte customer service is out of India and you cannot understand them. I have had the phone over 20 days and still no indication of when I will get the Sim card just that I will get a e-mail when it will be shipped and then it will possibly let me know when to expect it..
So love it it's a good it's good it's good it's good it's good it's good it's good it's good it's good it's good
Answer: Q-Link is a scam operation. REPORT to the relevant state and federal authorities ASAP! Reps are scammers reading from their scripts. Useless and intend to be useless.
Answer: Yes you can it also gives you two months free Amazon prime
Answer: It's not possible to talk to any human cause a real human wouldnt do the shit these fucking foreigner fucks do to people
Answer: I mean they provide cell service not internet that's two different animals all together. LOL you can turn your phone into a hotspot, which then allows you to tether your tablet to the phone and use its cell data but I think actually the only cost is $5 a month that's unlimited everything so I think just about anyone can afford that. But they actually send a SIM card which I believe was for the tablet and I never put it in so it could be it already came with cell service I haven't paid anything in months except for one time $5 and for all I know that was for shipping and receiving. As far as the $30 phone bill the government you already getting free service so you could apply that $30 towards the internet service if you have a provider in the area that's cheap but reliable. Good luck on that. If you need to know how to set your phone up as a hotspot you turn on Bluetooth for one but the best thing to do is just Google it say turn phone into hotspot and connect tablet for Android it will give you full directions.
Answer: Don't do it. It's not worth your time. Free is too much to pay for this piece of CRAP.
Answer: To my experience with this company since 2018 i never had to pay a dime if your being asked for money RUN run very fast they are trying to scam you because this program is 100 % free --phone --sim card --activation--only money out of pocket maybe for 2nd time go around if you loose your phone drop the sim card in the garbage disposal or belter yet the toilet but no $$$$ ALL FREE
Answer: Mine dies the same if I go over a certain amount of data and have ro wait for the new month to get data back on the phone. Doesn't seem right as it should be unlimited huh?
Answer: If it is a real Qlink email and not someone phishing for info when the package comes don't open it, Write on it "Return to Sender" your singing the song in your head, huh. Depending on your age that was an Elvis Presley song in the 50's or 60's. If it asks for any kind of information do not answer. I get one that say my (department store) order is on the way. If you get a text message and says to send "Stop" to a phone number don't do it. Most likely it is testing to see if you have an active, valid number. Anything internet, phone or text that you don't know who or what it is "Spam it" and delete. Even if you know the person there's a chance when you open it. My address book got hijacked on Facebook and sent everyone on it a virus. I don't FB anymore. It's a pretty sorry person that sends a virus to people they don't know.
Answer: I agree with the previous answer I had SafeLink years ago it takes forever to get it's not as good a service I couldn't get calls inside of my residence. It was terrible I would definitely go with QLink it's so much better in so many ways I don't think there's a question here really. They even sent me a free tablet or I think it was $5 although it's older and it's slow it's free and it does work. You have to make sure you connect it to LTE or 4G rather than 5G it is not a 5G tablet nor I don't believe the phone is either it's 4G also.
Answer: Mine got limited data but still can use calls and text if you run out of data. And it's almost June of 2024 and I am still using my free government service. Maybe however you got this program ei. In WA state you have to be TANF or SNAP and sometimes you have to renew you benefits like my food stamps I have to do that every 6 Months in WA state. So maybe you need to check if that's what your state program works!
