"To change my credit card payment my card on file needed to be canceled due to loss"
I lost my credit card that is on file with Sling. I need to give new credit card information. I'm calling to give credit card information so Sling can continue...
"Took money from my account and didn’t get service"
False advertisement. I want my refund returned for $24.00. WTF! You took my money and I'm pissed. I will never recommend your service.

My subscription was on pause for 7 weeks. It was due to start up again next week, so I just canceled it.

The agent on chat was no help! Is Sling going to pay the $75 turn-on fee?

Verified ReviewerResolved: Help needed to straighten account or I will cancel
They couldn’t help me and asked me to pay $1 to talk to someone. I abandoned the idea because I thought it was ridiculous and sketchy.
I changed my password and lo and behold, my orange and blue channels came back. The online chat is useless unless you don’t know how to login or are otherwise ignorant of how to use an app.
I finally changed my password for a third time, and it worked. My frustration is that there is no person to explain the issue with; sometimes a human needs to intervene.
I enjoy Sling, and I have been a customer for over 2 years and would like to continue to be. My problem was resolved, and things are back to the way they should be with my business of having both the orange and blue.
- And line up
- Price
- Ease of use
- Chat only addresses basic stuff
- Can not get a human to help with difficult issues

Verified ReviewerCancellation Ignored
No updates so far. They considered it closed when he finished talking with me.
I spoke with him on May 7, 2025. the last deduction from my account was made on May 8, 2025.
Why did they not refund that deduction or stop payments immediately? They have not reached out to me again.
It was difficult contacting them. When I did, my complaint was ignored.
The person I spoke with knew he was not going to resolve the problem immediately. Customer Service is very poor. They only want money.I spent another $569.53 after cancellation. They intentionally restarted my subscription "It restarted by mistake?' the gentleman asked.
It should not be an ongoing occurrence that a subscription would automatically re-start. I cancelled on 8/10/24.
They started billing again on 10/14/24. That should not happen.
They resumed billing on 10/14/2024. I contacted them.
They seemed to assumed it was okay to restart, he replied, 'It restarted by mistake?' They knew the problem but seemed to *** it. They let me know they were not going to do anything about it.
