Hey Makers!
How do you go about starting a new phone carrier? How is it going up against the big dogs?
Report
Wing banned me from their page on Facebook because I found information that the creators are a serial start up group that starts new companies and then sells them off. So I commented on a post and asked them if they would sell to Sprint because they bought space on Sprint's towers to offer service, therefore making Wing customers actual Sprint customers in the future (because Sprint gains customers by buying Wing out) and they banned me for it.
Shady. Nice business practices. I'll just comment everywhere I can to inform the masses you're lying to them and will soon be selling their contracts to Sprint, whom you currently dog as being one of the problematic large companies you work to get away from.

If anybody is considering switching, just don't. They try everything they can to make you switch and once you switch they don't accept the commitments they made. I switched from Verizon, I had a 1 year contract remaining with a BOGO deal, so I was paying for one phone and I was getting credit for the other phone, my monthly bill was $135. When I saw the wing add pop up on my timeline I reached out to ask if they would honor the BOGO deal and carry my contract over which would save me around $30/month. And to my surprise agent I was talking to informed me they would cover both phones, so I switched. Now I am being told they won't even though I have the screenshots of the conversation with their agent. If you are in a contract with a special deal like me do not switch!!!
I really love my experience with Wing. The switch was smooth and their agents were very nice. No call drops and I have coverage anywhere I go. So glad I switched.
Sucks price not competitive, Tello much better and others better. Claim to fame, they treat you nice???

Just switched. I had zero problems. Took much longer than the advertised 10 minutes, but looks like I'll be saving about $80 a month Vs. ATT. My boy Mikey handled the switch and was geeat customer service compared to ATT. NGL these reviews got me worried.
This phone service is HORRIBLE! Almost immediately after signing up with wings, I began receiving these weird phone calls from places like India, China, Uruguay! What?! I've NEVER called or received calls from any of these places before! Additionally, outside of my house, I couldn't send or receive texts, emails, nor search the internet for ANYTHING. I traveled to the country and had No phone service at all. Could not make nor receive calls. Mind you, I checked all of this prior to signing up for this service. I live in the city, why would I not have service outside of my house? Epitome of you get what you pay for.
