They won't answer the phone!

Tried to install the 2008 Turbotax three times.  It only got up to 28% and quit.  This could be due to the scratches and packing glue on the CD.  I tried to call them - wasted about 45 minutes; one person answered, but could not help - he transferred me; wasted another 30 minutes waiting for another person to answer - no one ever did.  Used another program that year.  Got my credit card bill - they charged me for THREE purchases of Turbotax!  The credit card company understood and took off the charges.  Two months later Turbotax put the charges back on my statement.  Once again the credit card company understood and removed the charges again.  (This all seemed very "crooked" of Turbotax to me.)  I will NEVER use Turbotax or Quicken again.  They stink!

This is a very attractive phone to which I put a lot of effort into finding this style. It's location in my home is one where it is not used very often.  In 3 months it was used less than half a dozen times.  I was shocked and extremely disappointed to try to answer a call recently and hear nothing on the other end.  The other caller was able to hear me.  There was no dial tone.  Even trying different lines and phone jacks did not help.  There is no damage to the phone.  I have been trying to contact the seller: Northstar Electronics, but have been unable to get through on the phone number listed on Amazon or receive a reply via their e-mail contact. Even if I decide to try to have the phone replaced/repaired by the original manufacture, I will be out another $20 for shipping costs they require.  This has been a complete waste of money and a total disappointment!
Update: 5/2008-Almost a year later and I never heard back from Northstar Electronics despite many attempts to contact them. I hope the new seller listed on this page is more helpful!  I did end up sending the phone to the manufacture (Crosley). It cost me $20, but I did promptly receive a replacement phone which is still working.  However, it is not used often and I keep waiting to hear nothing the next time I pick up the receiver.  Good luck if you choose to buy.

There is not enough room here or time for me to explain why you should NOT purchase this product so I'll keep it short and to the point. Sometimes the call recipient will hear you perfectly, but often will not. It's like having your phone on mute! Many times the software loads with no problem only to find you can't make or receive calls. I purchased the service so I could save on outbound calls but Majicjack decided recently to BLOCK conference calls unless you are the conference host. So now I can't even LISTEN to some call recipients! The "customer service" they think they're providing is nonexistent. It is strictly web messaging and totally useless. Based on my experience and what I've read from other reviews, the "technicians" are told to just send the customer in circles, claim they have provided all the assistance they can (even if referred to a "supervisor") and then they end the session. Oh,and refunds? FUGGETTABOWDIT! Don't waste your time or money on this garbage.

They never made it to the appointment, never called me, and I haven't been able to get anyone to respond to me.

when we tried to get ahold of the manufacturer because of a broken glass, all we got is an answering machine and no returned calls!

Here's my final email in the ABSOLUTE WORST customer service experience I've ever had. This was after my 18 month old Nettalk Duo (which I bought directly from Nettalk Duo)failed.  BEWARE Nettalk Duo.

Hi Jostin, Just wanted to let you know: 1-I tried everything you suggested several times
without success; 2-I called the number you provided below, waited on hold (listening to the most obnoxious electronic hold music I've ever heard) and finally gave up; 3-Tried again the next day, waited on hold for 50 minutes (listening to the same really awful crap), spoke to a nice woman who transferred me to technical service - same crappy music for another 45 minutes; 4-While I was on hold I went online to investigate other systems/devices; 5-Bought a MajicJack Plus and hung up; 6-S*** canned the Nettalk Duo; 7-I know that none of this is your fault, so I hope you'll forward this to whomever is responsible for the absolute (by far) worst service I've ever experienced; 8-I'm also telling all my friends, all my email contacts, posting this on Facebook and writing a very negative review on Amazon.com, etc, etc, etc. Have a great day. Oh, by the way, My new MagicJack Plus works just great.

Battery life is excellent,  as well it should he when you spend more time unable to use it than actually using it. 8-10 times I push the button to answer an incoming call I get a loud continuous buzzing sound and you can not hear the incoming call nor can they hear you. In trying to find some customer service to address the issue they wash their hands of it and have No idea and offer no support at all.

Unable to see how to get a hold of the person who sent us this but the phone is constantly freezing up and it just doesn't seem like it's a workable phone and we have no way of returning it even though we just got it back on June 22nd about a little over a month ago!!

This phone never worked. I could hear a dial tone but then when I dialed a number nothing happened. DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE!

I like the phone itself, but don't ever break it!!!

I needed to replace a plastic window that cracked; the electronics were fine.  Samsung doesn't have service centers like some other companys, and getting through to their repair department is a NIGHTMARE.

I spent 1 1/2 hours on hold and finally had to hang up to pick up my son.  The next day I spent 2 1/2 hours on hold only to get a recording telling me that they were on holiday (they weren't) and to call back during normal business hours.  I then called back and asked for a supervisor since I didn't want to get transferred just to be disconnected after 2 1/2 more hours.

I was told one would call me back in 3 business days.  I don't care how awesome the phone is...any company that shows such little regard for its customers will NEVER get my business again.  Unless you have many hours to waste in the event you need their repair department, I would strongly recommend you look for another phone.

I have been trying to activate this product and still can't.
Despite 15 or more calls to tech support I haven't connected with "the person" that can help me. Did get to talk to a person once but they only told me they didn't support this product.
Very disappointed!

I would give this no stars if possible.
The insert card states "Our customer service agents will do everything possible to resolve your complaint!"
My experience is that they have done NOTHING !
I sent a lengthy email on Feb. 12th explaining all of the problems of this not pairing and it is March 4th and I have heard exactly Nothing !
Actually, I don't know how you can solve tech issues thru email, but there is no other contact available.
 I have (with embarrassment) had to return the gift to my sister and thank her for the good intentions, but BAD product and or service !!

I've had these phones since may 2008. The base has been replaced three times since i got them. philips customer service is horrible, when you call them with a problem with your phone all they can say is we will "escalate it up" and then they hang up on you. poor reception, awful battery life. they are pretty phones but other then that they are junk. These phones are a nightmare!!!

You cannot receive phone calls and have anyone hear you while this case is on. Defeats the purpose of having a phone case if I have to remove it every time in order to the person on the other end to understand me. Extremely frustrating!

EDIT:

I am changing my review! I called into the lifeproof customer service and they were super helpful. Apparently, there is a setting in the Iphone7 that makes this case impossible to use when the " background noise cancellation" feature is turned on. Once we changed that, the volume was no longer an issue. Very impressed with the customer service.

Excited to receive the unit, hooked it up, configured it and made my first call.  GREAT!!  then I tried to receive a call.  Unit will not ring phone  on incoming calls. Sending a request for help couldn't be easier as the Help form is built into the user configuration interface.  12 hours later, I receive an email with a simple question, respond, and very quickly receive a reply stating "We have forwarded this information to our technical department ".  36 hours without further communication later...

To be fair, I have received two responses from support "press the reset button " and "tell us what equipment you are using, so we can assist you further(read "so we can find a way to blame it on you") After 2   more days of no response I gave up and asked for an RMA.  1  days later SURPRISE!!! no response.

ebuynow  has been silent for 4 days; looking like I am out $50.  I  wanted to share my story in hopes that you will read this and not repeat my mistake.

In addition to having a HORRIBLE customer service department, expect to spend at least 1/2 hour on hold, just about any service is going to cost you a minimum of $100.00. That's even if they don't fix the problem.

The last update that I bought did not work out of the box. Called customer service and they would only fix the problem if I paid $100.00. This was for a BRAND NEW product. I had just gotten the email confirmation of purchasing/registering the product the previous day!

Since my previous version crashed, I am in the horrible position of trying to somehow get access to my customer database. 25 years of contacts down the tubes.

I have NEVER seen any company not stand behind a brand new product.

I'm sure they get more money from fixing their own problems than they do from actually selling the product.

Can't say enough horrible things about this company.
