The company's reputation is significantly marred by consistent complaints regarding its customer service, characterized by long wait times and ineffective support. Customers frequently express frustration with service interruptions, data limitations, and issues related to device functionality. While some reviews acknowledge the friendly demeanor of customer service representatives, the overall sentiment leans heavily towards dissatisfaction, with many describing the service as unreliable and inadequate. Positive aspects are scarce, primarily focusing on the accessibility of low-cost options, but these are overshadowed by pervasive concerns about service quality and responsiveness.

When I ordered wifi with at&t they cancelled my service they told me I have 6 months to return their phone
My father is dying of cancer and I needed to get a phone immediately but I am on disability so I paid $34 for a phone the phone from qlink but it never came I spoke with them they made me wait almost a and finally confirmed it was lost in the mail and was told I was to receive a second tracking number and a second phone, and to wait another week. Today the 27th I was was told that they just refunded my order instead of what Louis told me on the phone. Still have to wait a week for the money. The supervisor Aiden was unprofessional he did not help. And would not even say he would talk to the representative who gave me the misinformation improperly trained them so customers aren't wasting their time waiting I could have found another phone so I can contact my dying father. I ordered a new phone for free from truconnect and I'm going to wait for that service instead. I will never attempt to work with qlink and discourage anyone else from doing so have they are not trained and the supervisor Aiden needs to find a new job or get trained on this one he has no phone etiquette and no customer service skills. They don't even provide an email saying that your refunded so I have no proof to show today. This place is a joke if you are serious and need the help do not use Q Link
Best service for the low income families and I'm not going anywhere else for service and I'm happy with it
Had for years when they first started. Loving it Thank You. The phones have really upgraded since then.Lori
So far so good with the q Link wireless my only issue is the hot pepper phone that you get sucks it's the worst phone I've ever owned in my whole life and this is the second one I've had.
Qlink is a great cellphone that offers optional plans for your needs. Just in time for Back to School students or for the individual financial status affordable. With unlimited texts and minutes is sure to see that Qlink is the best for people. Customer service support is available for any questions for you.
I don't give out my full ssn, birthday, to websites, and third parties.
Ever hear ID stolen.
This isn't lock site, I saw.
I say NO!
I get really good service but hot spot don't work for tv or computer not sure y I get service but hot spot don't give access to internet
One of the best providers I've ever worked with. I was without a phone for 2 years when I found this program. They are just great. Thank you Qlink!
Thank you for giving me the chance to catch up with the rest of society. I am so glad that now I will have Unlimited Data, Unlimited Texts, and Unlimited Talk. I am very happy. Thank you!
Q-link ha s the worst customer service I have ever dealt with, they sent me text saying I qualified for a updated phone, I was excited since my phone had a cracked screen and was hard to operate correctly, when I called they said I also qualified for a free tablet with a new government program, told them I did not want the tablet, I was told I would get a e-mail when my phone shipped, no e-mail and they sent the tablet 2 months later, checked my account and noe they wanted 10.01 for a co-pay, good thing they didn't have may bank info or they would of just taken it, they a guilty of predatory prectices.
I went from Qlink for $0 a month to Straight Talk for $60 a month if that tells you anything.
Wanted to transfer my Qlink phone number over to Straight Talk. It took over two weeks to get the job done.
This is a fleecing of our tax dollars.
I have had the worst time with Q-Link I can't make a call or receive calls I don't understand. I have had two cards and neither worked. I waited 72 hr as the tech said it didn't work. So I put it in another phone same thing nothing.
I have signal most of the time. Other times I had to go outside to get signal. I hope this free service is forever. Thanks.
I had lost my phone and they refuse to send me a replacement. They also sent the free Tablet to an address that I no longer lived at and won't send it to my new one. They are suppose to be a government phone service but they tell me that they don't offer free phones anymore which is a lie. I had another government phone company before and when my phone was lost/stolen that company sent me a replacement before. Their customer service is very lacking and each person they have is very rude and likes to talk over you when you call. They government needs to take away their contract for the free phone service because this company is not following the contract rules and regulations of the service.
The service is great. No problems there. I just wish they had better phones. I've never lost service since I've had this service.
Price is right at free but customer service is what's that? Good luck calling and getting a hold of someone that speaks English! Q LINK knocked out my voicemail and changed my caller ID to someone I don't know. I have called SEVERAL times and haven't gotten anything resolved! When I've called they say they'll reset voicemail or caller ID but it doesn't. To setup vm you call your phone number, which is fine. Then you type in your password, which sounds easy, but almost all passwords are alphanumeric. Their computer doesn't recognize numbers for letters, for example FUNny_ would be *******, right? Try typing in 7428FUNny using a phone keypad. Doesn't work!
I wish SOMEBODY could or would help! If so, it would be a great service
Qlink is a joke. They offer "unlimited" data, but they have reduced mine to 4.8G. I have called them, they told me in order to get my unlimited data back, I have to do it on their website, which is an impossible task! I tried six times, and all attempts led to expensive billing plans. No thank you!
If you are considering using this company, do yourself a favor and DON'T! The call center reps are rude, uncaring and won't help you. And don't waste your money ($10.01) on their tablet. It's worthless, does not work, it won't synch up with your phone and Qlink's supposed "wi-fi hotspot" doesn't provide enough power for the tablet to work. (Assuming that it does!)
The Government should take away the EEB funding that they are giving Qlink, as they aren't providing their customers with the free benefits they qualify for!
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!
