My Spectrum 4+

Updated doesn’t mean better

I agree with previous review 100%. Also with the TWC app, I was able to receive notifications on my iPhone of an incoming call on my home number pretty much in real time. It would show the name of the caller and time of call, (just as it shows up on ur TV, if you have turned on ur called ID in settings on ur remote). If there was a voicemail, there was notification would pop up as well. I’d tap on the notification on my iPhone, and it would take me directly to the TWC app and I could listen to the voicemail. I could even send that VM to my email if I wanted to keep it or forward to a family member so they could listen to it.

Why is this not available? And my mobile service is thru AT&T, not Spectrum. So that is not an excuse. After the price jump on our bundle of services, and losing channels we had for years, that are no longer in our tier unless we pay extra, we are looking into “cutting the cord” and getting our services elsewhere. Spectrum there is a lot of competition out there, keep your customers happy. It costs you more money to get new customers vs maintaining the ones you have.

Terrible customer service

Let me tell you, when someone who used to work in the customer service industry tells you this company has really bad customer service, believe them!
I had spectrum mobile for about 2 years and at first I thought it was great. Cell service was good. My issues started trying to merge my phone number account with my husband’s already existing internet plan. Tell my why it took 10 phone calls to get NOTHING done which each representative telling me the same thing “you’ll get a sim in the mail, the process takes a few days” when in reality all the back and forth took 2 months for NOTHING to get done except waste my time. NO ONE told us it couldn’t be done. (Btw 2 years later you still can’t). Even a trip to the in store was a waste. 2 years later my phone died and I needed it for work the next day. Went to the store to buy a new one. They will NOT sell it to you same day. You have to wait 2 days of shipping and then the whole set up process and send a request if you want to keep your old number. I needed my phone urgently for the next day as I use it for work. Because of all these terrible experiences, I left and switched to another company *cough* t-mobile *cough*. MAKE SURE TO REMOVE YOUR AUTO PAY CARD BEFORE YOU CANCEL otherwise they’ll still charge you the full amount even though you cut it off 2 weeks early from the due date. The app itself lacks functions and feels basic. Get out cause this company won’t help you when you need it.

Spectrum Cellular

I’ve had spectrum/time Warner Wi-Fi for over decade. It’s been okay. I’ve only had their cellular phone service for almost one year. I’m a stay at home wife and it mostly works fine at home off my Wi-Fi in the house But it barely works when I’m out and about. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. I can’t count on it. If I’m out doing errands and I need to use the search or pull up an email it sometimes will and sometimes won’t. The map and the weather usually always work off my data but apps, email, websites, it’s very inconvenient. I had the same problem with my last provider that’s why I switched. Before that I had Verizon and they for sure were the best but way too expensive. Before that back, in the day I used Cricket and they were actually really good. The only reason I left them was because I started traveling and they didn’t have as many towers back then, that’s why I went to Verizon but nowadays all cell providers have plenty of towers. Yes it was a thing. Only the big companies like Verizon ATT Sprint, not sure if they’re still around, they were the big companies that had the best cellular coverage and the most towers.
Anyway, I don’t know why it doesn’t work good outside my home Wi-Fi range. It’s caused me a few issues now because I needed it to work when I was away from home and it didn’t and yes I made sure that cellular was turning on.
