What is PureTalk?

PureTalk is a cellphone service that uses AT&T’s network but offers much cheaper coverage. It’s a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) and has no contracts or hidden fees.

While PureTalk plans include unlimited data, only a set amount is high speed. Once you reach your monthly allowance, your data is deprioritized, and speeds slow for the rest of the cycle.

PureTalk coverage and network reliability

PureTalk uses the AT&T network, which covers 99% of the U.S. Its website includes a coverage map where you can enter your ZIP code and check if service is available in your area.

PureTalk also offers a 30-day satisfaction guarantee, so if you experience any issues with reliability, you can request a refund.

PureTalk plans and pricing

All PureTalk plans include unlimited talk and text. Regular monthly pricing at the time of publishing is listed below:

PureTalk monthly pricing

*Unlimited plans include a fixed amount of high-speed data. After that limit, data is deprioritized.

PureTalk discounts and special pricing

PureTalk is a veteran-owned company and offers a 20% monthly discount to active-duty military, veterans and first responders.

To verify your eligibility for the discount, the following documentation must be emailed:

  • Active duty military: Full name and date of birth
  • Veterans: Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty (DD Form 214), VA ID Card, driver’s license showing Veteran status
  • First responders: Professional ID card and phone number for your workplace

PureTalk FAQ

Is PureTalk any good?

PureTalk is a solid option if you don’t need a lot of data or if you’re looking for an economical family plan. It’s also a good fit for military members, veterans and first responders because the 20% monthly discount helps bring down overall costs and keeps pricing competitive.

What network does PureTalk use?

PureTalk is on the AT&T network, and its coverage is widely available.

Can you keep your number with PureTalk?

Yes, you can use your existing number with PureTalk. All you need is a PAC code from your previous provider.

How do I activate PureTalk?

You can activate your PureTalk account within minutes by selecting “Activate Service” on the site or by following the instructions included with your purchase.

Is PureTalk good for seniors?

PureTalk is especially good for seniors who use modest or very little data. Plans that include unlimited data aren’t quite as competitive, but if you use under 10 GB of data per month, PureTalk offers good pricing.

Still have questions?

Is PureTalk legit?

Yes, PureTalk is a legitimate cellphone service provider that offers network service with no contracts. If you’re looking for more affordable mobile coverage, PureTalk could help you save on your bill. It’s probably most ideal for those who don’t require large data plans, like some senior citizens.

    I switched to Puretalk about a month ago. I am very happy with the customer service, coverage, price, and I will never have to worry about running out of 5G data, even on the lowest plan. One thing I wasn't aware of, and it's a big deal to me, is the lack of virtual voice mail for my Android (Samsung S26 Ultra) phone. This is really unacceptable to me after having Verizon for the last 27 years. Verizon treated me badly and I'm saving lots of money by switching, but I might have looked for another carrier if I had known about not having virtual voice mail. I still might switch after the 3 month trial period. It really bothers me.

    Hello Christopher! Thank you for choosing PureTalk and for taking the time to share your review! We’re so glad to hear that you're enjoying our customer service, great coverage, savings, and data flexibility after making the switch to PureTalk.

    We also completely understand your frustration regarding Visual Voicemail on your Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra. Having convenient access to your messages is important, and we want to ensure you have the best setup possible. While carrier-branded visual voicemail apps can vary, Samsung devices on our network typically support Visual Voicemail using either the native Samsung Phone app. At this time, we're unable to guarantee the visual voicemail feature on Android devices.

    We would love the chance to look into your device settings with you and help get this configured so you don't have to sacrifice a feature you rely on. Please give our support team a call at 611 from your phone or (877) 820-7873, and we’ll be glad to assist you step-by-step! -M.S.

      I switched over from ** and am very happy with the service and coverage! I switched over because we were on vacation traveling and needed more data… We normally use very little unless we are traveling and then we use a moderate amount of data through our iPhone HotSpot. They refused to add any more high speed for any reason so I switched. Now we have twice the data and can add in an emergency if needed and not have to wait 14 days until the billing cycle ends to get high speed again! Coverage is comparable and I get more for my money. Ted Danson's loss is Mike Roe’s gain. (I trust Mike much more than a “B”. Level actor anyway!) I really like the US service and even though there were a few issues with the switch over the staff was extremely knowledgeable and actually spoke English! REAL English not as a second or third language!

      I am a longtime AT&T customer. But sadly, the customer service there has become increasingly difficult to navigate. I made the decision to switch to PureTalk with a little bit of trepidation because I’ve had the same service for decades. However, every single person I spoke to at PureTalk during the process, was kind, considerate, efficient, and got the job done. I did not spend long hours waiting on hold or waiting for a callback. I’ve just started the service so I don’t know for sure how it will work for me, but if it’s anything near to the service, I’ve received so far I know I will be very happy. And the price was much better too.

      I do not remember ALL of their names but THANK YOU all for your help the last few days. I switched from an Android to an iPhone. I have been a faithful Samsung/android user since the dawn of time. But, I do not like the iPhone. Operations are so different. I believe I would be ok with a manual but apple does not provide a physical manual, and I am not calling or looking online every time I need to operate the iPhone. Who has time for that! The CS and IT dept at Puretalk have been phenomenal helping me and walking me through this phone. I have talked to so many people the last few days and received a request to review each one, but I have not had time. So, again, THANK YOU ALL!

      I am always telling people about Puretalk and the great support received when I call. I left for a bit because my son was paying for my phone. When that always done, I switched right back to Puretalk. Overall, I love this company, the fact that it is American owned & operated, started by an American veteran, they use American CS, IT & Billing, which makes communication so easy. I very seldom drop calls. That only happens in deep rural areas with a lot of trees., but I have had that happen with a lot of other carriers, too. Puretalk does operate on AT&T towers, so coverage is great! Oh, let's not forget plans. I dare you to compare coverage to coverage. Puretalk comes in so much less for the same plans offered by AT&T, VERIZON, T MOBILE,, ALL OF THEM! I really don't know why people are afraid to switch. Yes, the company is smaller but it packs a BIG PACKAGE!

I said I didn't need access to my account.. just tell me where the link is because the only one I see doesn't work. I was told to call. Can't, my phone was stolen. She tells me to call puretalk. Can't, my phone was stolen. Could she refer me to somebody who knows about the website. No. Okay, where do I leave a review? (At this point, I'm second guessing my decision to move to pure talk... If they can't manage their own website, what is the phone service going to be like?) She asked me if I needed assistance with anything else. I copied & pasted: where do I leave a review? No response.

      Pure Talk is competent but their inflexible attitude pervades easy use. One request I do not agree with inquiring me to nickname the card. I've never been required to do that and I resent it. I suggest you shop around other affordable phone plans before settling on this choice.

      Hello, Richard! Nicknaming your payment card helps you quickly identify which card is set up for Autopay while keeping your full card details hidden and secure. We don't currently have an option to turn off this feature, but we really appreciate your feedback—it helps us make PureTalk better!

      If you need help with anything else, feel free to give our Customer Service team a call by dialing 611 from your PureTalk phone or (877) 820-7873. - A.M.

      This is an excellent company. It uses AT&T towers and has pretty good cell coverage, good prices and great customer service. They also don’t outsource employment so when you call their support line, someone within the U.S. helps you.

      We had 4 family members change from Att and all 4 have been nothing but frustrating trouble. We spent all day yesterday trying to get my sister connected to Pure Talk and last night she had no phone service at all. We have now been working on this all morning. We will see what happens. Sales staff is great but all others have been totally incompetent. I would and will switch companies as soon as I have the energy to attempt a change again

      Ever since I switched my phone from Verizon to Pure Talk, I have had issues with my texts and at times my coverage. All of my texts have the green bubble, instead of the blue, and people have told me they have not been getting my texts. When I made the switch to Pure Talk, I expected more customer service in the transition from a carrier (Verizon) that I was with for 22 years to Pure Talk. It would’ve been nice to have a knowledgeable person on the other line walking me through my settings and how to optimize the usage of my phone.

      Heard from PureTalk. They seem to have fixed the problem.

      Original Review: July 18, 2026

      I am pretty much happy with the service EXCEPT I am not getting all my texts that I should. Almost every day I don't get texts sent to me that others get. It is very upsetting like not getting important mail! I would like to see phone companies treat texts as sacred and not pick and choose what they will allow to get through. I have been trying to speak to the company but have not yet. But don't see any excuse for texts being held back for ANY reason.

      I am so pleased with PureTalk and happy I switched. I had AT&T and, while the service was sufficient, the cost was out of control. Their constant rate increases just made it too expensive. So, I did some research and PureTalk offered a plan that was perfect for me and half the cost I was paying AT&T for the same service. Transferring my service was seamless and since changing carriers I have been more than satisfied with the service and the price. I would recommend them unconditionally, especially if you are on fixed income.

      I now have better service at my rural home for less money so that's good. I have yet to figure out how to have voicemail, which I need. I do not have service anymore at our lake cabin and it is roaming where it was not before, not cool.
