If you are experiencing issues, there are several areas to check:

Coverage:  To confirm coverage in any area, please go to the link  and enter an address.  Note the Outdoors, In-vehicle, Indoor Residential and indoor Commercial distinctions for the LTE spectrum.

Check your account:  Login here to confirm that you have voice, text and data available for use.  Once logged in, along with seeing your balance, you can add airtime if needed or check call records.

Connecting to our network:  Sometimes, phones get out of synch with the wireless network.  Try turning your phone off, waiting 10 seconds and then turning back on.  This allows the device to establish a new connection with our network.  You should also check for any software updates that may need to be loaded to your device.  If that does not fix your issue, you can try a reset of the device.  This reset will NOT affect your call log, pictures, contacts, messages, etc. It will only force needed updates and re-program your device to refresh it.  

   For GSM LTE Phones Only

1. Go to Settings >Network> (you may have to open up Advanced options) Mobile Network > Preferred Network Type and select LTE. (If none of these options are present, select Automatic or Home)
2. Go to Settings> Network> Networks and select Access Wireless if not already selected.
3. Turn the phone OFF and then back ON.
4. Go to Settings> Network> Network > and confirm Access Wireless.

   iPhone Network Reset (Manually):

1. Go to Settings > General and scroll down and tap Reset, then tap Network Reset Settings.
2. If prompted, enter your iPhone password and confirm the reset.
3. Wait for the phone to complete the reset process.

If these steps did not fix your issue, please follow the link to verify your account and discuss further troubleshooting steps.

1. Uninstall old or unused apps.
2. Check and delete your unnecessary downloads.
3. Clean up your music playlist.
4. Remove large videos.
5. Use cloud storage for photos.

NOTE: To check which items on your phone are taking up the most storage space, go to All Apps > Settings > Storage. If you’ve already tried these techniques, check if your phone has an SD card slot (not to be confused with a SIM card slot).

If so, try purchasing an SD card (8GB or more is preferable) to insert and use for additional storage (Note: Kroger Wireless does not provide these. We suggest purchasing from www.Amazon.com). Afterwards, you’ll need to move existing information from your phone to the SD card, then set defaults on your phone, so it automatically saves any new information to the SD card. If you need more detailed instructions, try researching “transfer storage from phone to SD card” tutorials for your specific phone model on Google or YouTube.

3. Set email accounts for manual download, and sync whenever you have a Wi-Fi connection.
4. Set your browser to block pop-up windows, and disable automatic image loading.
5. Send pictures & shoot videos as MMS picture message rather than email attachments.
6. Remove unused apps from your phone.
7. Whenever your device is turned on, there are programs running in the background that use data. To stop this from happening, you must manually disable data on your device.
