    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'm an OTR Truck Driver, great cell service is extremely important! I've tried all other major cell companies with Verizon being top for me, until I tried Pure Talk!!! There were spots in Wyoming that I would lose service with Verizon, but with Pure Talk, I can travel through the entire state of Wyoming without ever losing service! Also, I do not drop calls when I cross state lines!!

    Customer service is incredible!! I can ALWAYS understand what CS Rep is saying!! With all the other companies you sit on hold forever to only get a CS Rep that you can not understand!! I do not miss that @ all!! CS Rep always helps and I'm completely satisfied with the help I've received! Not once have I thought about leaving!! Pricing cannot be beat either!!

    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. I made the switch based on the recommendation of radio talk show host Mark ** -- the biggest draws being that PureTalk is veteran-owned, and that their customer service reps are U.S.-based.

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!

    Love using Puretalk. Was a customer of AT&T for a very long time and was reluctant to drop and go somewhere else. Started paying WAY too much for my service, especially when I owned the phone and was supposedly receiving a discount. Plus, my old phone was ready to bite the dust and I was unsure of what I wanted. Puretalk made everything easy, has friendly customer service, and had a better deal with service and buying a new phone. The transition was smooth and for only a few apps that I had to reconnect with on the new phone, there was no problems switching info over and I got to keep my old number! Thank you Puretalk.

    The people I have talked to have been very helpful and professional. My complaint is the coverage. We had Verizon before and the coverage was much better. Where we are located we are considering returning to Verizon. Had AT&T years ago, long years ago, and thought maybe their coverage had gotten better but it has not. Would like to say because their customer service so far has been the best!

    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'd like to go to a lower plan since we're not using all the data allowed.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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!

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.

    First, I have to say your customer service is great. Definitely 5 star. But the coverage where I am is spotty. Sometimes it's good, but other times I have trouble getting to web pages unless I'm home using Wi-Fi. Sometimes it happens as I'm using the phone. Turning off the phone and powering up again sometimes works, but most of the time the coverage is bad.

    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! It was very easy to switch the service and shipping the phone was fast. I planned on switching my wife over to this service as well but we are going to keep her with AT&T because of my experience.

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.

    When I first switched to PureTalk, I was a little nervous about call quality and data coverage, mainly because the company doesn't have the name recognition of other large mobile providers and due to the somewhat remote location of my house and work. After several months of being a PureTalk subscriber, I'm in shock at how great the call quality and data coverage is, especially considering the costs of the plans. I'm slowly converting my entire family from long-time subscribers to the well known brands over to the much better PureTalk brand.

We discovered that the price was almost 50% less than Verizon.

    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.

Then I was told/asked if I was on any kind of government assistance that I could get a reduced rate.

    The service is ok, somewhat better than Spectrum. However the phone I purchased from you is not so good. The NOKIA 2780 flip does not function well on the internet nor does it handle e-mails very well especially when there are attachments. Sometimes you cant scroll down the screen to finish reading the bottom of the message or a response line.

    I changed because AT&T had ditched NewsMax, which was politically motivated, plus AT&T was more expensive since I only have one line. PureTalk has the same services, but is cheaper and is conservative based. It wasn't easy to convert (partially because of AT&T), but they helped at every step.

    PureTalk advertises and claims that they have the same coverage as AT&T but my signal strength is significantly weaker in areas where AT&T were fine. I’ve called their customer service and they made some adjustments but did not seem to make a difference. Overall, I’m semi-satisfied with the savings and just adjust to the weaker signal strength but I definitely see a reduction in phone quality from AT&T.

Your team claims it's an issue with the android platform. Yet when I call Samsung about this issue that do not concur with your team's assessment. I have two people with the same phone on AT&T that have no issue with their visual voicemail. I came over from AT&T with great coverage.

    Our Pure Talk has been up and running for about two months now. It was extremely easy to set up and the people we talked to on the phone were extremely helpful in answering all of our questions. And probably one of the nicest features is that it’s coming from a company that doesn’t buy into the woke mentality. - that so many other cell phone providers have gone to. We support our country and conservative values just like Pure talk. I guess I would say you should support companies that support your values and not the companies that constantly donate to liberal progressive policies and ideology.

    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.

    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.

    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. The audio customer service has been great and the message support works some of the time. I did get my visual voicemail activated using message support.

    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.

    The phone and text work fine. However the data is extremely, frustratingly, obnoxiously slow when using audio streaming or maps or internet. There are times when you are searching for a location on maps and it just goes blank. When listening to Pandora or a Podcast while driving it will stop for 5 to 20 minutes and then start again. If you stop for gas if probably won't start streaming again.

    This is before we have used up our primary Data plan. After that is slows down to a complete stop. There is no way I would buy a larger data plan because it's so slow and spotty. Debating on what other provider to switch to. The Pro, it costs less. But... see above.

If we want to call Canada from the US, now that’s a workout, not user friendly and expensive. Verizon has a North American plan and you should too. Lastly, you use ATT towers here and their service coverage in my area is not good. Verizon is much better. I actually don’t know of any local people that use ATT in my area. From your ads on the radio it sounds like you use them in some places and I would recommend them here in the 59044 zip code area.

Yesterday was the day our bill was to automatically renew and the auto payment was more than we were initially expecting to pay! I called their customer service and advised them of what we were told by their representative. After waiting for over 30 minutes for the “supervisor” Shalene, she rudely advised me I couldn’t have possibly been told that because it’s only after the 2nd month of usage we would get the $20 referral credit. Well I told her to pull the call since they’re recorded because their representative MOST DEFINITELY told us it was after 30 days we would receive the credit! She advised she would listen to the call and contact me within a hour.

    After a hour passed “Shalene the supervisor” called back & surprise surprise she heard their Representative state in the call we would get our $20 credit within 30 days!!! I asked if they could honor what we were told since we are on a fixed income but she advised me all she could do was “offer an apology because we should know what our bill is every month”?!?

    Why am I unable to make #250 calls? I called customer service several times and got some surprising responses. Most of the time they said they had no idea what #250 calls were!! That seems very surprising since cell phone service is your company's business. One person in customer service tried to get me to update my Apple ios in order to make a #250 call. I would be nice to know the truth. So are #250 calls possible with PureTalk cell service? If not why is that so.

    The set up included putting in a battery. In doing so the connector broke. The phone company would not replace the phone I had to buy another one. So after much hassling back and forth, I taped the connector in place and inserted the battery. Still working today but come on... 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 on three calls where the other party told me that my phone was cutting in and out. My wife tried to call me one Friday afternoon around 2 pm 18 times and it didn't get any of them. I have a 1year and half old iPhone 13 Pro so I don't think that it was my iPhone as I called Apple and had them do a check on it and it was good. My wife has had a call where the caller could hear her but she couldn't hear him.

    Signed up a while ago and all was good. Now past two months I’m being told phone doesn’t work because I went over my GB usage. I have been doing the same with my phone for over a year, and now a week before bill renews, my phone almost shuts down. Can’t get online. Can’t use apps. I download nothing nor do I watch tv or play games on my phone so how do I now all of a sudden go thru my GB? I was told I needed to buy more GB for $20 more. Heard that a few times but every time I call I get a different answer or they can’t help me. Once, I was told if I pay the additional $20 it won’t do me any good as that is for people who have less than 60 GB on their phone. So my phone is only good to use 3 out of 4 weeks a month now. Time to find another phone service. Do not use this company if you want to use your phone daily. Total rip off.

    I just signed up with Pure talk several days ago. I could not be happier that I did. Customer service is US based. They are absolutely excellent! They understand anything you need and are very very polite courteous and professional not to mention the price is so much less than the other company I was with. The service is exactly the same but the rates are way way better. If you're looking for a great cell company you can't go wrong with Puretalk.

    We've been satisfied, for the most part. My husband has had some challenges with his new phone, but he's challenged in that way, so nothing new. I appreciate the help we've received when there was a problem. And the person who helped us spoke ENGLISH, which was a huge bonus for our elderly ears.

    Have never gotten 5g coverage since switching to Pure Talk only LTE which is very slow and when called customer service was told our iPhones 8 were not compatible but when we were with AT&T we got 5g so that does seem accurate - not really satisfied and feel misled.

    While in my house, the west end seems to get a better connection, but as I walk to the east--not so much and it may drop the call. I switched from AT&T and never had that problem with them. I had a lot to TECH problems getting the phone set up, but since then, it's been OK.

    I had seen ads for Pure Talk from AMAC. I had a pretty inexpensive plan at the time, but I figured I would check it out on Pure Talk and see if I could save even more. I was able to cut my rate in half with Pure Talk. I have had wonderful reception of all calls with Pure Talk. Plus, when I signed up with Pure Talk, I already had an AMAC membership, but Pure Talk paid to extend my membership for an additional three years. How could I go wrong with Pure Talk? I have been very happy with Pure Talk. I would highly recommend them to anyone!
