140,000 non-use ACP to lose benefit on 7/28
If a customer calls/chats in today about the attached postcard – it is because their benefits will be disconnected (with a DE/De-enrolled status) after close of Customer Care later tonight.
Therefore, it is extremely important that each Representative has the following instructions right in front of them today for reference to assist these customers.
If a customer who received the direct mailed postcard attached to this email calls/chats in today - and has not yet confirmed Continuation of Service – the very FIRST step is to stress the sense of urgency in doing so immediately today.
The customer MUST be informed of how important it is that they Confirm Continuation of Service as soon as possible TODAY – otherwise, they will no longer have benefit(s) with StandUp Wireless effective tomorrow.
It is extremely important the customer be informed, as stated in the postcard, that the customer is in danger of losing their service – and that today is the final day that they can do that.
To retain their benefit(s)– they must be informed to do one of the following immediately TODAY:
Make a call using their StandUp Wireless device to other than Standup Wireless.
To send a text from their StandUp Wireless device to other than StandUp Wireless.
Turn off Wi-fi on their SUW phone or SUW tablet and use data (visit a website).
Dialing 611 from their StandUp Wireless phone will give them a prompt for the Continuation of Service before being directed to CARE.
Confirm the Continuation of Service by clicking the button in a recently received email from StandUp Wireless.
If the customer has a compatible BYOD device, they can put their SUW SIM card into the device and follow any of the above options 1. – 4.
If the customer cannot confirm the Continuation of Service but does any of the above options, the customer can go to Don't let slip away! to enter either their StandUp Wireless MDN or CGM order number and the last 4 of their SSN and click the Confirm button to confirm service. They will receive a message that says “Success” once completed.
*This is easier for most customers than signing into My Account, but My Account is also an option to confirm the continuation of service. The customer should see a banner at the top of the screen once they log in.
The customer must understand they must do this by the end of the business day TODAY - Thursday, 7/28.
Everyone - Tier 1, Tier 2 and the Coaches MUST inform the customer of this deadline today and document what the customer was told in the Comments.
Once the customer has confirmed the Continuation of Service, please let them know that if they still have a service or device-related issue, we can then proceed in assisting with troubleshooting their device issue etc.
Resolving device issues is the second step AFTER the customer has confirmed confirmation of service.
Once the customer indicates that they did “Confirm Continuation of Service” using one of the ways outlined above, the representative should then proceed in assisting them with troubleshooting their service and device issues as usual.
The representative should not assume, send, or offer them a SIM card or device until they have attempted to isolate the issue. We should assist the customer with troubleshooting their issue before transferring them to the Supervisor queue for retention efforts, i.e., the Retention Program, send out another SIM card etc. - as usual.
Again, to reiterate, if the customer does not confirm the continuation of service by the time CARE closes tonight, the customer’s benefit(s) will show as DE or De-enrolled on July 29th and will be deactivated in our system as soon as possible.
Once De-enrolled, the customer would need to reapply at this point for new benefits with StandUp Wireless.
