Asked by Harold McDonald (1 month ago)

Harold, give our team a call at 833-528-1380 if you are having issues with your service. Customers have a grace period when their plan expires, in most cases we can help restore the service. If the account can't be restored, we can go over options to set up new service.

I just received a text from gen mobile telling me I'm on the 15 day text only plan. I called and nobody can explain why I have no data and can't make phone calls. Can someone explain?

Asked by Jennifer Callisto (4 months ago)

Hi Jennifer, We are happy to help explain. As a courtesy Gen Mobile will put customers with an expired plan on a text only plan. Generally, it means your service plan expired or if you were receiving service through a free benefit program, the benefit is no longer active with Gen Mobile. Email genmobilecare@dish.com if you need help with your account. Best, Gen Mobile Care

1st Question is .. if anyone has already received the free phone with the acp program What kind of android phone was it?? 2nd Question.. Do you receive the unlimited data that has been advertised along with unlimited talk and text also?? 3rd Question.. Has anyone received their new device & have been using it for any length of time?? What do you think ? I ask because I've tried a couple other company's that now offer this program and I've yet to receive a device that works longer than a week. And when I first activated them the way it showed me , I've never been able to get it to work .

If you need more minutes, than we recommend our $15 plan with unlimited nationwide minutes, unlimited texting, and 1GB data. Hope this helps!

Hello - 1) As of today, Monday, March 29, 2021, are you still activating phones/devices and lines on the legacy Sprint CDMA network - if so, for how much longer? I live in an area where T-Mobile is not available. 2) Are you offering California Lifeline plans? If you have been approved by the C.P.U.C., what handset and model would I receive? Your filing with the C.PU.C. indicated a "basic" handset - so I'm assuming the free phone is not a "smart" phone.

Asked by Pretty Colors (3 years ago)

Hi! 1) Gen Mobile is still activating legacy 3G and 4G Sprint CDMA network phones thru end of 2021 unless we hear otherwise from Sprint. 2) We do not currently have details on our California Lifeline plans as it is pending approval by the C.P.U.C. Hope this answers all your questions. Cheers, Gen Mobile Care Team

Does messaging include MMS and group messaging

Asked by Lisa Best (5 years ago)

Hi Lisa! Yes, messaging includes MMS and group messaging but it would require for you to have data or to be connected to the Wi-Fi in order for you to be able to send/receive the messages. I hope this answers your question.
