My wife and I went in to ask questions concerning our upgrade eligibility. We walked out an hour later with 3 new devices, paying 1 dollar more than our previous bill. Chris W was our salesperson. He was helpful and insightful on the devices, worked tirelessly to set us up. A true representation of what a salesperson should be. All of my business will be through this Russell Cellular location from now on. Thanks Chris

The young lady that helped my husband and I purchase two new phones and 2 new plans has always been great with customer service. Oh and our bill is cheaper than T-Mobile .

I'd discourage anyone from ever visiting a Russell Cellular location. Chris, a manager at this location, helped me purchase 2 phones while he was working at a Russell Cellular location in Johnson City. I had the worst customer service experience of my life. It took me 11 hours to activate and transfer data to 2 new phones and trade in 1 phone, including visiting another Verizon store, calling Verizon customer service multiple times, and talking to Apple Support. My simple request of Russell Cellular was that I be refunded the 2 $40 "Set-Up for Success" fees. I absolutely was NOT set up for success for many reasons. I was told to call Russell Cellular Customer Service to request the refund. I called them 3 TIMES and was told different things by different associates. I was told someone would call me back on the first 2 calls, but no one ever bothered. I'm writing a review for Chris here because, out of desperation and due to the fact that he was the original associate I worked with, I reached out to Chris. He seemed to genuinely care, which was encouraging. He said that his District Manager, Mike, should be able to issue the refund. He said that Mike was on vacation but would be back last Wednesday, and he reassured me that he would get back to me as soon as he spoke with him. I hadn't heard anything, so I called this location today. The woman I spoke said she tried to connect with Chris but said he wasn't available. I asked when he would be back in the store so I could call back, and she said she couldn't share that information with me.
In summary, Russell Cellular is a crooked, dishonest, company with associates who will repeatedly give you the run-around. Incompetence is also at play here, but the main issue is that this company simply doesn't care about customers or doing the right thing. They should all be ashamed of themselves.
