I had purchased a brand new cell phone from Spectrum Mobile, but it was stolen. So I called and asked if I could get a cheaper unlocked phone and switch it to another carrier and continue to pay down the debt. I was told yes I could do that. But then I get an email saying that since I ported the number over, that would knock out my ability to pay it down monthly.
Then I called again to let them know that I didn’t have $332 to pay it in full! So after calling again, a woman I spoke to fixed the financial aspect of it so I could pay monthly until fully paid. Then I got another email wanting the FULL amount. People should know that this can happen to them, especially if they’re phone is stolen and cannot repay the full amount.
