What happens if my modem or phone is lost or stolen?
If your device is stolen or lost, you must notify us immediately and we'll cancel the service to protect you. You are ultimately responsible for all charges on your device or account, so shutting it down as soon as you realize it's gone is highly recommended. We also recommend you contact any other accounts you may use through your phone device, such as a banking app, wallet app, etc. Turning off your cell phone signal will not keep apps from working on wifi signal.
Ladybug Wireless is in no way, ever responsible for any charges incurred on a lost or stolen modem, phone or device of any kind.
How do I pay my bill from Ladybug Wireless?
Ladybug Wireless is proud to be a green company and strives to save our trees and our environment by using digital services whenever and however we can. In this effort, we only accept auto draft payments made through our secure billing system.
Your account is accessible on our website at any time at www.ladybugwireless.net. There you can view your service plan, payment history, add or change payment options and cancle services at any time.
Our services are prepaid, so your account must be paid up before the current service period runs out.
What if I am late paying my bill?
Our services are prepaid, so if you don't pay on time, you're service will automatically be interrupted for non payment. However, don't worry, it's easy to get it turned back on. Pay the bill and a 35.00 re-connect fee within 30 days of the disconnection and your services will be restored, subject to availability. The sim card will need to be replaced and that costs $4.99 plus the re-connection fee.
If your payment is returned for Insufficient funds, a 20.00 charge will be added on top of the reconnect fee.
How do I cancel my service?
For security reasons, cancellations must be done in the portal only. Please do not leave voicemails, texts or call to cancel. Only the account holder can cancel and only the account holder should know the password into the account. Besides being unsecure, emails and voicemails/texts don't always get through to us in time. The best way to make sure your card is not charged again is to use the account portal. When you do it there, it instantly turns off the ability to run the card on file, so as long as you do it before the card runs, you won't be charged.
Remember, you have no cancellation fee, but please, time those cancellations wisely! Once the money comes in, it's shifted to the carrier to renew your line another 30 days, and so we cannot prorate or refund you.
Once you have cancelled, any equipment that belongs to Ladybug Wireless (including but not limited to, Prism Devices, leased devices, loaners and active sim cards, must be returned within 10 days. Failure to do so will result in charges up to 1 months service fee and/or the cost to replace the equipment.
Can I cancel the service and come back later?
Yes you can, subject to availability. Simply buy a BYOD service on the network and we'll get you reinstated as quickly as we can!
Does Ladybug Wireless check my credit or take deposits?
No. We never check your credit nor do we report to the credit agencies, nor do we require deposits. This is one of the real benefits of prepaid service.
How long is this contract for?
Please refer to your plan details for any commitment terms, as each service has different options.
For those services where we have no service contracts, so you are free to go at anytime, however, we cannot prorate most services. That said, we'd love to keep you and just ask you to give us a chance to fix whatever is making you want to switch.
If you port your number from us to another carrier, your Service will be cancelled when the port is complete.
For the home internet plans, there is no cancellation fee, however we do not pro rate or refund, so time you cancellation carefully.
Please Note:
As of March 1, 2021 all old 1 & 2 year contracts are beyond expired and will revert to current pricing in March 2021.

Your Device’s Software is licensed, not sold, to you by Ladybug Wireless, the network providers, and/or the manufacturer. For information about the licenses and their uses of your device, please contact the manufacturer of the device.
Can Ladybug Wireless change or terminate my services?
Yes.

You’ll agree to any change by continuing your Service after the effective date of the change. If you do not agree, you will need to cancel the service prior to the renewal.
Wireless networks have capacity limits, and all customers can suffer from degraded or denied service when a user (or a group of users) consumes a disproportionate amount of a wireless network's resources. Ladybug Wireless (and its third party service providers), therefore, will monitor both overall network performance and individual resource consumption to determine if any user is consuming a disproportionate amount of available resources and creating the potential to disrupt or degrade the network or network usage by others. Ladybug Wireless and its third party service providers reserve the right to engage in reasonable network management to protect the overall network, including analyzing traffic patterns, excessive usage, and preventing the distribution of viruses or other malicious code and may suspend or slow down the data until the reset or cancel an account completely if there is a pattern of excessive use or abuse of the services with or without warning.
If a customer is verbally abusive or offensive to our customer service representatives and staff.
If you engage in any of the prohibited uses or abuse our services, we may change, limit, place on hold or discontinue your service or this agreement at anytime without notice.
Under certain limited circumstances, we may also block your device from working on the network totally or for certain types of uses.
If your Service or account is limited, suspended or terminated and then reinstated, you may be charged a $35.00 reactivation fee and you will need a new sim card ($4.99) to reinstate, subject to availability.
