TROY, Mich.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–With a steady flow of calls to wireless customer care representatives, who were moved from call centers to a shelter-in-place situation, great performance and great resolution remain intact during this critical time for wireless carriers, according to the J.D. Power 2020 U.S. Wireless Customer Care Performance StudySM–Volume 2, released today.

“Just as we saw in our recent U.S. Wireless Network Quality Study, the high bar that carriers set in maintaining their network quality during these unprecedented times is also seen in their seamless delivery of customer care,” said Ian Greenblatt, managing director at J.D. Power. “The industry faced incredible challenges keeping Americans connected and still remarkably have had no customer service disruption despite an unwavering call volume and an uprooted workforce.”
