We switched from being a many year Verizon customer about 3 months ago. We have been happy with Pure Talk so far. We have a 5.5 gb data program and it has been sufficient so far. Savings? About $100 month for 2 devices. We will be traveling in our motorhome in a couple of months and are curious if the data plan will be adequate for our travels.

I really like supporting and using Pure Talk, and I like how easy it is to use my phone. HOWEVER I have only used your service for a short time and have broken three phones. The phone I am presently using (the 3rd) got slightly broken only two days after activating it. I never had a problem with the TracFones I'd had for years. This brand seems to break very easily. Also, I don't like the Lithium battery -- too fussy. Those are the ONLY two things I don't like about this model phone. Thank you for supporting America and our Vets!

My wife and I switched from Verizon to PureTalk. With similar benefits and two brand new iPhone 14 cellphones our monthly payment was still almost $20 less than what I was paying for Verizon service alone. Switching our phone numbers and transferring everything to our new phones was an enormous hassle, not at all easy, and it took several hours along with both Pure Talk and Apple support to accomplish, but once it was done, they have worked out great. Pure Talk is definitely a much better value.

I have been very happy with my switch to PureTalk. Living in rural Texas, I get better coverage; have had no trouble using my device as a hotspot; and most-definitely feel I am getting more bang for my buck.

While I looked forward to having this service, I am very disappointed. Firstly my Samsung phone wasn't sufficient. I had the phone for a two month period so, I didn't want to upgrade. On June 25th I went back to my previous carrier, and I spoke to Pure Talk and canceled their service. Here it is September and I am still being charged for a service I haven't had since June. No!

For the most part I am happy with my experience, the only issue we are having is with Coverage. We had AT&T prior to PureTalk and almost never had an issue with coverage. The reason I switched to PureTalk was to lower my cell phone Bill and because they used AT&T cell towers for coverage and claimed it was the same, but we keep finding dead zones or poor reception that was not there before. Hopefully PureTalk coverage will continue to get better or let me know if upgrading to a newer cell phone would help with coverage. Thank you.

Overall we're OK with the service. We have more storage on our phones. I had trouble with my sim card. Service was interrupted and a message in settings stated there was no sim card. I did the recommended steps and the phone operated OK. This happened a number of times beginning just over a month after receiving and using the phone. Finally contacted customer service who sent me a new sim card. It's been working fine thus far. 2) We're not impressed with the mobile hot spot for internet. It's slower than we thought it would be and is interrupted at times. We're using another source for internet that is more reliable and fast.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently made the wonderful decision to switch my phone service to Pure Talk, and I am delighted to share my stellar experience with this outstanding company. From start to finish, Pure Talk not only provided exceptional service but also demonstrated its commitment to excellence as a Veteran-owned company.
The customer service representatives at Pure Talk were not only courteous and knowledgeable but also genuinely passionate about assisting their customers. They guided me through the process with a level of care and attention that truly sets this company apart. Switching phone service providers can be a bit daunting, but Pure Talk made it a breeze. They took care of everything, ensuring that the transition was smooth and stress-free. The process was straightforward, and I felt confident that my phone lines were in good hands.
As a Veteran-owned company, Pure Talk embodies the values of dedication, integrity, and service. Their commitment to delivering top-notch phone service is evident in every aspect of their business. It's heartening to support a company that honors and serves those who have served our country. The icing on the cake is the incredible amount of savings Pure Talk has brought to my monthly expenses. Thanks to their affordable plans and competitive pricing, I now save a substantial $73 dollars a month on my five lines without compromising on the quality of service.
In summary, Pure Talk has proven itself to be a true gem in the phone service industry. Their Veteran-owned status reflects their dedication to excellence, and their service is nothing short of exceptional. If you're looking for a reliable, cost-effective, and customer-focused phone service provider, look no further than Pure Talk. Thank you, Pure Talk, for your outstanding service and for your commitment to both your customers and our nation's Veterans.
Here are the steps to ensure a smooth transition while bringing your old phone number with you to Pure Talk. Please make sure to follow these instructions carefully: Update Your Phone: Ensure your phone is running the latest iOS version for optimal performance. Obtain Transfer PIN: Contact your current provider and obtain your Transfer PIN. If you are coming from Straight Talk, you can text "NTP" to 611611 to receive your Transfer PIN. Check Carrier Lock: Navigate to Settings > General > About on your phone and check if "Carrier Lock" is set to "No SIM restrictions."
Verify ZIP Code: During your initial phone setup with your current carrier, they might have your ZIP Code from that location. If you've moved since starting their service, make sure to use your old ZIP Code during the transfer process. eSIM Compatibility: If you plan on using eSIMs, connect to Wi-Fi for eSIM functionality. Utilizing eSIMs can save you money, so consider using them if possible. Avoid Updates During Calls: To prevent call interruptions, avoid updating your phone while talking with customer service. This will ensure they can contact you back without any issues. Remember to have your EID#, IMEI#, and IMEI2# ready (as found in Step 3) to facilitate the transfer smoothly.
By following these steps, you can enjoy a seamless transition to Pure Talk with your old phone number, and rest assured that you'll be in control of your service without any complications. Happy switching!

I am extremely disappointed with PureTalk. My wife and I decided for a couple reasons that we would leave T-Mobile and give them a try if we could keep our numbers and our phones. We were assured that our phones were compatible and that there wouldn't be any problems switching service. Last Wednesday the sim cards arrived, and after porting our numbers, we inserted them in our phones. That's when the trouble began. Neither phone worked properly. I spent two hours on my wife's phone that sort of worked dealing with tech support. Most of the time I was on hold. When I did connect the call was dropped two or three times. Tech support couldn't call back because neither phone would accept calls. I gave up.
The next morning, which, coincidentally, was our 50th wedding anniversary, I decided to give it another go. I borrowed my daughter's phone hoping the call wouldn't be dropped. Getting ahold of tech support is a pain when you're using a non-subscriber's phone, but I finally got through. Then I spent a long time on hold until someone answered. As I was talking to tech support and going through all sorts of maneuvers on my malfunctioning phone, I was dropped again. This time tech support called back because my daughter's phone actually works. I finally got to someone who had me do a lot of stuff on my phone that didn't work. She concluded that our phones wouldn't work on PureTalk for some proprietary reason.
My wife and I were disappointed, but we decided that if we could get away from T-Mobile, it would be worth it to buy new phones. We looked at the Pure Talk phones and decided that Samsung S23's at $549.99 would be something we could make work, so we called the sales department. By this time I had been dealing with PureTalk problems for over four hours on our anniversary.
I called the sales department and informed the agent that we would like to purchase two Samsung S23's at $549.99 each. She said we would have to pay $799.99 for each phone because, even though we hadn't experienced five minutes of service from PureTalk, we weren't new customers, and the $549.99 price was for new customers. I asked to speak to a supervisor. She put me on hold and went to get one. Some time later she informed me that all the supervisors must be in a meeting. She asked if I would like a call back. I told her to forget about it. We were going back to T-Mobile. And that's what we did. T-Mobile charged us $80 to reconnect, and we were up and running in under an hour. We were able to get reliable phone service and still had time enough to enjoy a fabulous 50th Anniversary dinner. Our Pure Talk nightmare is over.

I have been wanting to switch from AT&T for a while now and have heard the add for this company on several AM radio shows I listen to in the Houston area. I reviewed the plans on the website and called to set something up. I gave the promo code from the Jesse Kelly show and that was never applied. I was then told that the package I picked on the website wasn't available at that price anymore but I could get a similar price (which was more) if I got a plan with a used phone that would have a new phone warranty which I did.
When I called back to discuss problems I was having with the phone and the service, I was told that I was sent a new phone and there was no record I was ever sent a used phone and nothing was accomplished. I do have the purchase email that states it was a used phone. My issues are that the website should be updated to what the new prices are, the discount from the promo code was never applied, and although it is very easy to call customer service and get a live person faster than any other cell company I have used in the past, they couldn't help and denied that I was sent a used phone!

So far our experience with PureTalk has been positive and as expected with no surprises. The price was acceptable and we bought an iPhone 14 also. We were with our previous supplier for many years of which the service was acceptable but they increased their price to the point that we could not afford them any longer thus the recent change to PureTalk.

I love Puretalk. We have switched over our business/personal phones and tablets to Puretalk from another carrier that we were with for over 20 years. My main reason for switching is their values are our values and my money is no longer supporting the big Democratic Party. Second reason they have people you can understand when asking questions about your service and third the price is much better ❤️.

I don't understand why PureTalk would have an incompetent verification system. When I call in I'm asked my name. And when I'm asked to verify myself, I'm asked my name AGAIN. Why do I have to do this twice? The customer service rep said she couldn't sign me in unless I gave my name twice. What? It comes across as incompetent reps and company. I wish I had time in my life to do everything twice. I would like to know why Pure Talk would have an incompetent system that only frustrates their customers!

I paid for service, got my sim card in the mail, gave PT all they need to exact my port from 1 carrier to them. Previous carrier had my info screwed up, so the port was delayed. Former carrier says they let go of my #. PT's website says my new acct has been activated, but it's not working!!!! To go back to the former carrier is a bitch! PT is a joke!!!!

Before signing up for the service I was informed that my phone was completely compatible with the Pure Talk network. Once signing up I received the SIM card in 3 days. Placed in all required information and discontinued from my previous service provider. Now I have no service. Come to find out my phone is not compatible with Pure Talk and now I no longer have access to my original phone number. Only to be placed on hold forever with conversations that go nowhere. Now I'm out of a phone. Borrowing other people phones to make calls. Plus all my accounts ask for 2nd strap authentication thru my phone number. This company is fraudulent and should be held liable for the situation that they have placed me in. Stay clear from this headache of a start up company.

When I signed up it said electronic billing. I assumed I would receive an emailed bill each month before the money was automatically deducted each month. Boy was I wrong. And when I called customer service to inquire about this I was treated rudely and in a condescending tone was informed that this was 2023 and this is the way business was conducted now. The inference was that since I was a senior citizen, I didn't understand how things worked today. The irony is that all other electronic billing that I am involved with all send me an invoice (electronically) before taking my money. And they don't make disrespectful remarks when I deal with them. I hope I am right in assuming I just got a rude employee and it is not company policy to treat your customers this way.

I should make it clear from the start, I am only speaking of Puretalk's support. I signed on to Puretalk to dump a woke company and save a little bit of money, the money being a minor point for switching. Getting statements is important for me for the tax records and since Puretalk is strictly paperless it's essential that I go online to acquire those statements. To start, I spent several hours trying to set up an account and finally ended up at customer service which also failed. At the end of the cs session she opened a support ticket and told me that I would get a call from them.
Weeks later, no call. I placed another call to customer service and this time was advised that they don't have the ability to reset an account. What? They can't reset an account that I was never able to set up? And, they can't respond to the support ticket to tell me that? Pathetic! We eventually used a different email address with success. Today I went online to retrieve my statement and could not access my account. I was using Chrome and am behind a VPN. Eventually, using Edge and disabling my VPN I was able to access my account and print my statement. (that in itself was cumbersome) I then tried to email support with a brief synopsis of my trouble so that they could pass it along to IT.
My thought was that they are relatively new and may need to work some bugs out. Tech support email is structured for certain issues and if you don't fit within a certain box you're not going anywhere. Again, pathetic! It's like they want to screen you out and not have to work with you. Finally, let me reiterate - The service has been working and I have no criticisms other than one minor issue that I may try to address when I have a couple of hours to commit. Also, it's entirely possible that, being new, they need to grow into and past these deficiencies but they are not there yet.

Hello. I was a Cricket subscriber for over 12 years. I must say that my current coverage is at least as good as it has been over the past 12+years. I have 40% of the data now but with internet everywhere, it is enough for me and paying ~ 47% of what I was is amazing! I really like that you don't support radical ideas. It all became more clear once I finally ended my Cricket account. They asked why I was leaving and I simply mentioned the cost. Then I was told/asked if I was on any kind of government assistance that I could get a reduced rate. Immediately confirming that instead of simply charging less, they over-charge most of their customers to supplement "those" type of accounts. Not to mention the extra $$ they send to extremely socialistic causes, that I do NOT support in the least! Thank you for your service and here's to many more years, in the future.

When our daughter turned 13, the clamor for a cell phone was becoming deafening. My wife and I finally caved. My own cell phone is from my employer, so I turned to my wife's carrier and they were wanting an obscene amount. Yeah, no dice. I am not paying that much for a 13 year old, especially one that will only be on Wifi 90% of the time anyway. I did a little digging and came across PureTalk which seemed ideal for my purposes. Low cost, no **. Though I was a bit skeptical since it was a carrier I had never even heard of. Over a year later now, this has proven to be a wise decision. Service is top notch and when our daughter got a new phone, adding the sim and getting it going was flawless.

I talked to them 30 times in 1 day and the conclusion was that I just lived in a 5G area, that doesn't mean I get service....according to them. Then, after they sold me the hot spot plan, they told me that with android phones the hot spot is not guaranteed to work! I just paid for it, paid for a phone that was supposed to be 5G but will never be. STAY AWAY, STAY AWAY, STAY AWAY.

Original Review: May 29, 2023
I ordered a SIM card and paid for $9.99 for 2-day delivery. Tier 1 Support is terrible and the company does not honor or refund money paid to get an order delivered under their 2-day delivery option after taking 5 days to deliver. So I am supposed to pay for a month of service and pay extra for 2-day delivery while not being able to actually use the service for at least 5 days. I spent around 45 minutes with three different Tier 1 Support people.
Person 1 could not manage to get their headset to work after about a minute of messing around with it and then dropped the call. Person 2 was rude; told me that I needed to talk to FedEx about a $9.99 two-day delivery charge that I paid to PureTalk (not to FedEx) after she told that 3 days after my order was placed, the items had still not been shipped; did not want to get a supervisor on the call after I asked for such; then dropped the call while supposedly trying to get a supervisor on the call.
Person 3 refused to get a supervisor on the line without asking me about 20 questions as to why I wanted to speak with a supervisor and then put me on hold three times for over 15 cumulative minutes trying to unsuccessfully get a supervisor on the line and refused to refund my $9.99 2-day delivery charge. She then told me that she created a ticket and I would hear back from a supervisor in 24-48 hours. I requested cancellation of the order for a third line and the SIM; and my second line with them but she only managed to drop the order for the third line and SIM.
I am cancelling the second line myself online and will replace my last remaining line soon. I recommend not doing business with these script-reading incompetent reps who are either a) not equipped to actually field calls b) instructed not to escalate calls or get supervisors on the line c) will not do so in order to cover their asses or d) are not able to get a supervisor on the line because they the supervisors are either a) spread too thin, b) refusing to help or c) are AWOL from their work while being reached out to by their subordinates. The company does what it can to avoid having a person answer your call and if you do get a person, it will likely be a script reader ill-equipped to do much of anything.
Oh no, John! This is definitely not the experience we’d hope for you to have. We're sorry to hear about your experience with PureTalk thus far. Please accept our apologies if you received anything other than an optimal customer service experience, as this is our top priority. In efforts to make things right, we’ve applied a credit of $52.53 to your account to cover the overnight shipping charge, as well as one month of free service.

I don't know if I really answered the question. When I switched to Puretalk, I lost my 5G coverage. According to the maps and the PureTalk site it should work, but doesn't. I didn't know I had an order number to put with the review. I did send a message to PureTalk about my 5G coverage and got a canned answer.

During recent travels, I noted that calls were not easily made when outside the local territory. We were in CA and the CO. We also had issues with using our text messaging service for sending files. This was eventually solved by connecting to a local free WIFI service. The good news is that I use a VPN as part of my security setup, but, if not, I would be concerned about the security of my data when connected to these WIFI services. The initial setup transitioning from Verizon to Pure Talk was very difficult and not very clear as well.

Phone messaging is also a hassle, no quick and easy way to retrieve a new message. Texting takes a lot of strokes. When I open the phone the time that is indicated in big numbers is the time when I last used the phone. It takes at least ten seconds for the phone to catch up to the current time.

I have been very happy with Pure Talk. I would highly recommend them to anyone!

PureTalk has very adequately meet my cell phone needs. Transferring my phone to PureTalk was fairly easy. The automatic billing works smoothly and accurately with no surprises. The monthly rate is saving me money. The quality of reception is just as good a my previous carrier. I would highly recommend PureTalk.
