Where are the Cricket Visual Voicemail files stored on Android?

Hello,I am having trouble finding the location to which Visual Voicemail exports files. Checked Music, Downloads, other usual suspects to no avail. Tried searching for *.amr files - no luck.Steps:Open Cricket Visual Voicemail app (log in) Select voicemail message of interest Tap the 3 dots in the upper right-hand corner → Export to file A message pops up The message has been exported to: /files/voicemail-<date-time>.amr However, there’s no /files folder in the root of the phone storage or SD card. Searching for it does not provide results either. App version: 3.3.0.101215Phone: Samsung Galaxy S8 (SM-G950U)Android 9

Why Cricket requested my package back?

I did a purchase only with Cricket, they send my order Friday, October 19, 2018. In middle of the shipping in UPS Cricket requested return to the sender. I didn't get my phone and my money back. I called customers service, they don't know what is going on with that Cricket requested.

S20 problems

My husband and I have been Cricket customers for about a year now.For the most part we have been happy with service and especially the price.My husband was using a unlocked  phone(Samsung s20 not a cricket phone) and  decided on a different one so I was going to take the s20 and use it ,once his sim was removed and mine put in there it was no longer compatable with Cricket Network!!!!  WHAT?? We have been using this phone for the whole time we have been Cricket customers it was compatable when we activated the phone because we did it at a cricket store!!!  So shame on you for encouraging people to BYOD,then you dont want to hold up your end of the deal!!! I'm thinking you will lose lots of customers over this if you dont make things right SOON!!!!

International Samsung Galaxy models on Cricket with upcoming 3G retirement

2 out of 5 Galaxy models we have left in the house are F/FD international models.Anyone have luck getting VOLTE and Wireless Calling working on these? My mother's S8 plus seems to be OK with WiFi calling, but no option for VOLTE. My A90 doesn't work with either feature.Always bought international models from eBay because they are cheaper. But it looks like Cricket only wants to support US versions?

Will an AT&T phone have wifi calling?

I found a good deal on a new locked to AT&T Samsung S20 FE.  Will the wifi calling feature work on Cricket’s network?  I would love to buy from Cricket, unfortunately their price is double what I can get the AT&T version for, and can’t afford it. Thanks.

junky phone new 4 days old not working

I'm furious. I changed to cricket because their service was better than straight talk. But boy was I lied to. Completely. I got a POS phone that same day I got it froze for ten minutes at a time and the signal only allowed me 5 minutes before it just disappeared. I call to replace this POS phone with a new one as I have to have it for my business. EVERY SINGLE DAY. I'm informed 4 days after getting it, my options are return the phone and get my money back but I will lose my phone number that I brought with me. Or send this one in and wait 2-3 days for a replacement and have no phone AGAIN I NEED MY PHONE EVERY SINGLE DAY. Thank God I am the only one I switched because this is NOT good service. I will switch to someone else and this POS will show up on your counter at a store. And the friends I told I will be calling now to tell then NOOOOOO. It's a scam. Take care because I'm done

Google Messages RCS

Hi. I've recently noticed that my RCS stopped working with Google Messages. It now says trying to verify number and just get stuck on that. I've tried resetting the app and clearing data of carrier services and uninstalling and reinstalling the apps to no avail. I've tried swapping sims but no help as well. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Voice delay on out of state calls

Anytime I have a call with someone outside of my state (I'm in PA), there's a delay. Lile, when you watch the news and there's a delay between the newscasters. I've tried turning off wi-fi calling, thinking that might be the issue but it's not. It's getting to the point where I'm considering a new service provider. Any ideas?

Battery degradation or usage pattern?

I havea pesky A20, with around 4000mAh battery. Earlier is used to get around 21 hr of battery, i knew it would degrade... And now it's around 15. https://1921681001.id/Days when i use it heavily i get 10 or 11 hrs. But then i uhttps://19216811.cam/ se my phone lightly for the next few days and it goes up to 15.I used to get a regular 13hrs usage when it showed my that i have 17hrs of battery...What is happening, is the battery actually degrading or it's all just about the usage... And how much more will it drop?I'm very particular about battery life so some tips to save battery would be welcome.(I was gifted this phone, har no choice. And i would have to spend next 3,4 yrs with it)

Phone interrupts me daily wanting an update but won't use my data. i don't have wifi.

Phone interrupts me 2 or 3x daily wanting an update, but refuses to use my data. Gives me 2 options 1) get on wifi now to update. Or 2)temporarily put this notification off for a little while- but it always comes back.I have my phone set to only update with my data because I have no wifi access at all & am not planning on buying any.So I am getting really frustrated because I don't know what to do. These interruptions of course always happen at the worst possible moment and interferes with whatever I'm working on. It's a Samsung a11 i think. I asked the Samsung people and they said it's not them so I'd need to talk to my carrier. Which is Cricket. So Cricket-- why don't you just let me get this update with my data Like I Always Do...? I don't even know what it's for.Thank you for your attention to this matter,  it's really driving me up the wall 🙂🙃🙂 I don't know what to do. Help!

Galaxy S9 SM-G960-U security update

SOS someone has fallen asleep at the wheel there has not been a update for Samsung Galaxy S9 phones since November 2020....…  Current FirmwareBaseband: G960USQU8FTK2 (Highly outdated)  I would have never bought the phone if I knew Cricket was going to abandon all security firmware updates leaving its users wide open for hackers....... (My employer says I cannot use it for work because its a security risk and has been exploited back in January 2021)  I know a employee probably will not help is there any users that know of work around I'm presuming I will have to hook it up to a computer and update the phone myself because I'm sure Samsung removed the cricket bloatware and mandatory apps from firmware updates And it's probably the only reason it's not being updated because they cannot obtain user information with it from unlocked phones

Since upcoming my phone and switching to cricket I cannot receive picture messages or participate in group messages. I don't even have an mms option in my settings. I have a galaxy s20. When I was with at&t it worked fine, I switched to spectrum mobile (thru verizon) and had horrible service, so then I switched to cricket. Great service, just can't receive pics or do group messages. Can anybody help?

Samsung A32 5G hotspot issues

Everything works great with my new Samsung A32 5G phone except the hotspot. They have refreshed the network, reset the network settings on my phone, swapped sims and on and on. Still no luck. Anyone else having issues? Mobile data is on and works. Anywhere from 80 to 280 download speeds. Hotspot just will not work. And yes I'm on the more plan which has the hotspot. Thanks

Compatibility BS

Like most of you my wife and I had to upgrade our phones when Cricket made their big update/upgrade or whatever they are passing it off as now a few months ago. I purchased her a Samsung A71 and we stopped at the Cricket store immediately afterward so I just had the Cricket CSR swap the SIM and activate it. She did and I took the time to VERIFY(EVEN THOUGH THE IMEI CHECKER CONFIRMED IT WAS COMPATIBLE) the Hotspot worked because she and I pay for an extra 15g a month because we work mobile a great deal. Everything WORKED. Fast forward to last week and I had noticed a spike in our Hotspot data usage on her phone and because of the increase I wanted to see if it was something we were doing. I went online and talked to support and when I realized the bill was due the next day I paid it. I was out of town and only had my travel credit/debit card so I did a bridge split payment at the CSR's suggestion so I could look over everything and if there was an error it could be subtracted or added t
