T-Mobile, Cricket and Consumer Cellular Rank Highest in Respective Segments

Overall satisfaction with wireless provider call centers has increased 13 points (on a 1,000-point scale) from a year ago, according to the J.D. Power 2024 U.S. Wireless Customer Care Study^SM—Volume 2, released today. This increase in satisfaction is driven by a decrease in transfers, time taken to resolve problems and answer questions and an increase in first contact resolution.

“Wireless providers are very dialed into the advantages of first contact problem resolution,” said Carl Lepper, senior director of technology, media and telecom at J.D. Power. “They are supplying their customer service agents with improved call center systems, further assisting fast resolutions and increasing brand image, customer relations and customer experience. As half of wireless customers are using phone support, optimization of these systems not only brings an increase of satisfaction, but also a huge return on investment.”
