My friend recommended Pure Talk after I retired from work. I was using Verizon and I had great service, but my phone belonged to the company and I had to give it back and buy my own service. So slow is my service right now....just circles and circles and sometimes I get cut off when talking with someone. I will be looking for another phone service if things aren't improved by Pure Talk.
Greetings, Ann! We regret to hear that you are experiencing issues with slow speeds. We have reviewed your account and see that you have utilized your remaining high-speed data for this billing cycle. Your current service plan includes 6GB of high-speed data. Once you reach your allotted amount of high-speed data, the speed does throttle down to 256 kbps. Your high-speed data will be restored on your next bill date. You may view your data usage through your account portal online at www.puretalkusa.com/account/login by selecting the "Plan" tab. You may also add data to your plan for $10 by selecting the "Add-Ons" tab. If you wish to upgrade your plan, you may select the "Plan" tab and select "Change Service Plan". The next plan is our Unlimited Talk & Text + 10GB Data plan for $35, which is a $5 difference from your current plan. We also offer Unlimited Talk, Text & Data + 15GB Hotspot for $55. Thank you for your feedback, as it always helps us improve the PureTalk experience.

Company was quick to respond with a canned statement. I was pleasantly surprised that they responded again with an actual attempt at customer retention!

Disappointed with the speed after I use up my 60GB. Burned through that data way too quick. Wi-Fi is not always reliable as a backup. I’m saving money, but the performance definitely reflects that. Tempted to go back to Verizon.
Hello, Brandon! We regret to hear that you are unhappy with the data speeds. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience you have been caused. Once the high-speed data has been utilized, your device will automatically begin using low-speed data, which is about 256kbps. If you would like to purchase additional high-speed data, you may do so at any time by logging into your Account Portal and selecting the 'Add-ons' tab, then follow the prompts to complete your purchase. Thank you for your feedback, and for being a valued PureTalk customer! We truly appreciate your business!

When I was speaking with the PT rep about leaving Verizon for PT, I asked several times..."will I still have 5g service?" and was told "absolutely, it's AT&Ts network". I haven't seen 5g since I switched. On top of that, I barely get any bars at all where I work, so the overall strength of AT&T's signal sucks.

I understand it's cheap but this is by far the worst service I've ever had. The only time it's decent is on wifi. The Internet is slow. The service is terrible. My messages come late. I don’t get calls. Sometimes people have to call me two and three times before the call comes through. Customer service is horrible. I couldn’t get my phone activated when I first switched over and the entire process of being on the phone and going back-and-forth trying to get my phone activated used up all of my data so my first month I had no Internet for absolutely no reason. This is by far the worst service ever had.

Mixed reviews on the quality of the several different reps I spoke with while switching my service from Verizon to Puretalk. Several long hold times and I got cut off while on hold several times. Might I suggest adding a way to contact Customer Service by Chat or Email? Everyone was professional and friendly but some just weren't knowledgeable enough to resolve the problems I was encountering. Growing pains in a new company? Anyway, I am very pleased with the service now that I am switched over and delighted with the price.

We had been with PureTalk for almost 2 years. We started having issues where incoming calls would go straight through to voicemail. We would call to have the tech support correct this but is was becoming a constant issue. I need my phone for work and this was becoming an issue. We decided to switch carriers and that is when we ran into issues. The customer support was terrible upon us leaving. We would get hung up on when we tried to see about if there was a rebate in the fee when we left 4 days into the next months service. Apparently, they do NOT give you back the difference. Anyone leaving Pure Talk should be aware of that. They denied our port transfers and we had to fight to get that done. We will NEVER go back to Pure Talk again for this lousy exit customer service. Very disappointing.

Based on Sean Hannity's endorsement, I excitedly entered into a subscription with Pure Talk. Almost since day one, I have been disappointed many times. Customer service and tech support have never been able to port my pictures from old phone to new so I've had to accept that. Many times every day the screen freezes with the prompt "system not responding" resulting in multiple restarts. Phone does not show incoming calls in time to answer. Between customer service and tech support no one has been able to enable SMS so I have to call every sender and ask what the message was.
The best one is when the problem is beyond customer services expertise they'll inform me I need to turn my phone off and they will correct problem on their end and call me back in 5 minutes and voila blow off any return call! In all fairness there have been a small number of issues corrected but they are more than eclipsed by the substandard service I have experienced.

I left PT because I have a small biz and was unable to access my Square acct from an outside vendor location when I did a show. I was "locked out from my ATT Mobile account" - no idea why ATT was involved, so I lost sales from the show. When my brother started a new job, he was unable to download his 2 work apps to his PT phone, so he was forced to change to another carrier. Tech support is abrupt and rude and don't care to listen to reasons why a customer is unhappy. I'm glad to leave PT behind. No need to aggravate a customer after non-connective issues, but to add rude tech support is an insult.

The cell coverage in Monterey/Seaside, CA is spotty at best. It's a bit of a disappointment, as our previous provider also had poor coverage.

Dear PureTalk Representative,
My primary area of dissatisfaction is with the texting function, which is a primary means of communication for me. At an estimated rate of 33% I do not receive messages. I will see that someone has texted me, and the time, but there will be a blue circle where the text should appear that urges me to "Tap to download." My success at tapping that blue circle and then seeing the text is 0%. I sometimes respond to the sender that I can see that they sent me a message, but not the content of the message.
Also on my phone I sometimes use the WhatsApp app to communicate out of country. I have never had a problem receiving messages on that app, including those including attachments. So, I don't know if I've disabled some feature that is preventing me from receiving messages reliably, or if the SMS function has some glitch, or... something else. It would be nice to receive more (all) of the messages sent to me.
Thank you,David

I love your customer service. We are keeping our iPads with you but unfortunately, we are located a lot of the time in the mountains and have not been able to get reliable cell service. Many times we cannot even place a call or call will be dropped or sound is too low to hear. That’s why we had to switch. Regrettably, because I think you are a great company. If your remote cell service improves we’d transfer back.

So far, we are satisfied with Pure Talk. We are saving about 50% from our old cell carriers, which is great! We also love that the company shares our values. We miss out on a couple benefits from our old service, such as a carrier app, and visual voicemail. The cell and data service seems to be about on par with our previous service, but sometimes seems a bit slower. For example, a text might take a few extra seconds to send when not on wifi, and sometimes it seems to take email messages much longer to arrive and notify us.
Our biggest disappointment was the activation process. We used the esim, which seemed very convenient, but was painful to initiate. Both of our phones took over a day (while having zero service because our previous service had already been dropped), and required several phone calls to customer support. One of our phones took even an extra couple days, and much more time spent on the phone with customer support. And, when this phone finally got connected and set up, all the data for that line for the entire month disappeared within the first few minutes, and we know this wasn't caused by us. Unfortunately, Pure Talk wouldn't reset this data for the month, offer any sort of refund or anything, and actually blamed us for wasting all the data. That has been our biggest complaint so far.

I started an account with a new phone. (Nokia 6300) I was not familiar with anything beyond a flip phone, but I figured if I needed any help getting it set up, I could get that help. First, I couldn't get the sim card installed so it would function. By the time I got that down, the phone still indicated it wasn't reading a sim card. At that time the tech service person had hung up on me. After a week I called again and explained what happened to a customer service person. They were helpful and sent me a new sim card. Once I installed it, the phone indicated it was reading a sim card now. I tried calling my landline to test it and I got a message saying that it couldn't place the call unless I was part of a network. I called back and again was sent to tech service who read off a few suggestions and then hung up on me. Not sure where to go from here.

2. No one would know this and I and spend hours trying to setup the phone. 3. When calling for help and waiting for long periods, when your call if finally answered, you are told you need to speak to technical repair - which sends you to another queue to start waiting all over again. You can't just call into technical repair - which probably is why your wait times are so horrendously long. 4. Repair techs couldn't solve the problem and were unfamiliar with my phone that I bought from Pure Talk. It took 5 techs to finally resolve my simple issue. 5. One repair tech told me "let me be honest with you" he said, "we can't help you with your phone". He told me Pure Talk wasn't responsible if my mobile phone didn't work outside of my house! A real **.
6. GOD HELP any older person or someone who is not tech savvy in calling your technical repair!!!! 7. Waiting for hours on hold is not bad enough, but one has to listen to ENDLESS, REPETITIVE ** messages "No problem they say". 8.

I'm very disappointed/angry with Pure Talk. I signed up for over a year ago. I set up auto pay. All was great until about March or April this year. I use the phone as back up and noticed a few months ago I was unable to call, text or use any data at all. I haven't really needed it much and there was a gap where I could not find the phone. Plus I'm a pretty busy fella but I got around to calling customer care today. The rep said an email was sent to me in March about my phone no longer being compatible. I still have the email and it said nothing of this. Just something about doing a software upgrade. So I basically paid 7 months with no service. I know I could have called earlier. The rep made no offer for a refund, no offer for a compatible phone, no options, just "that's how it is." The company could have contacted me about it.
It feels more like them saying, "wow! this guy has not used his service in 7 months, and he's still paying. maybe we should reach out to him... Naaaa! let's keep billing him." Plus I was thinking of adding more lines with pure talk since I like to save money and trying to cut down on random recurring charges. Don't get me wrong, when it worked, it worked pretty well, I was satisfied. But now... no. I'm pretty sour about this. And they have competition. I'll gladly pay a little more to avoid terrible customer service and the "That's the way it is" attitude. You guys want to contact me and try to work out a solution, great! I'm reasonable. I know every company has ** employees. I'm really not expecting a response But it's a damn good thing I called today otherwise I think they would have kept charging me forever. Pretty salty about this one.

Was happy with the first couple phone calls with customer service but just today had two in a row that were not good. The first one was a really bad connection where all I heard was me talking into a mic and I kept letting the representative know but she did nothing. The second one gave me Wrong instructions for setting up a voicemail greeting; she said when we hung up to dial one and it would not walk me through the prompts. I called back and spoke with a third person who said I should call my phone number and it would walk me through the steps, which it did.

Poor to non existent service. We signed up as we trusted (unfortunately) the referral source. Once we got phone service it was intermittent at best. We called customer service dozens of times.

The company did finally issue a new phone two weeks after they received the defective one. We received it today and we look forward to trying out the service. PureTalk did give us some credits for our troubles, which I do appreciate. I really wish they could have sped up the turn over time. At this time I'm still probably 2 stars but would be willing to update to a higher rating if all goes well from here.
Original Review: Aug. 30, 2022
I was excited to try PureTalk and get away from big tech companies. My experience so far has been terrible. Our old phone broke so I thought it was great time try. I also saw they would overnight, which was important so I paid extra for it. Unfortunately they do not list that no one is there weekends so my overnight actually took three days. I could have gotten over this but the phone they sent me did not work and would not even turn on. After 6 customer service calls they made ticket to send a new phone. Sadly I activated service before I tried the phone so now I'm paying for service that I cannot use. No one has offered to refund my overnight costs, or not charge me for the days I could not use. They sent me a return label so I sent the phone back and half a day later still no contact from the company as to whether the replacement has been sent.
I would assume errors would be a top priority to fix but sadly I packaged and sent their phone back already and a replacement still hasn't been issued. I cannot comment on the service quality as 3 or 4 days since I ordered and still do not have a working phone. I get mistakes happen but do your best to fix them and make it right with customers. If I hadn't ported my number over I would have asked for a refund, but now I'm stuck at the moment.

I had a minimal rate of $20/month for service for several years and decided to increase to $55/month to be provided with a HOTSPOT. I was told my phone would be compatible for this, but I never received an increase in service. Then I was overcharged for a second time, rather than having my initial level of service and fee restored-- even after repeated attempts to communicate by calls, texts, and email. They used this as an opportunity to permanently raise my rate on the service I had been getting for $20/month, telling me I have to pay $25/month unless I get someone else to join me with a second line on my plan, we could get the $20/month rate for each line--- outrageous!!!
They will not refund my money but "credit my account", so after withdrawing excessive money TWICE I will lose it all if I quit this company!!! They did not tell me there was a recent policy change that basically forces them to refuse to give me back my former level of service after attempting (and failing) to get me a HOTSPOT. Nobody with authority to resolve this has ever gotten back to me even though I was told three times I would have someone call me back over the last month, and I cancelled other plans to wait by my phone. I told them in early August that I would publicize my bad experience if this could not get resolved-- then they made it worse by charging me again two days ago and refusing to refund me when I already paid too much for imaginary services last month!!!

Accessing iPhone phone messages is very inconvenient. The messages are not accessible in an app on the phone. The only way to access and even know that you have any messages is to call your phone number and input a password and follow the instructions. Only then are you able to tediously access new and old messages, though only one at a time. When listening to a phone message you hear the message only, not the time of the call, nor the phone number of the caller. iPhone iMessages does not allow sending attachments to multiple numbers, if one of the numbers is not Apple iPhone.

Switched to Pure Talk based on 100% refundable if there is any issues. Issues started immediately, they DO NOT support androids for mobile hot spots. First it was I needed to increase the data plan which I did, then it was "sorry, we just don't support Samsung 11 platforms". I switched to ** then with no problems. Many calls later, and almost 2 months later I finally had to get my bank card company to intervene. They only offered to refund me the initial charge, not the additional data, and only a months free service with Pure Talk, which doesn't work with my phone! Stay away, they're a SCAM!

I chose PureTalk because of the conservative values they support. I receive same coverage I was getting from another carrier for half the price. I appreciate companies with conservative values because that gives me a choice in what I can support.

The beginning was a nightmare, two of our phones wouldn't work with the service, even though we were told they would. Service is very spotty, texts with pics do not come through or go out very well, calls are dropped etc, typical meh service. Price is the best part, get what you pay for.

I'm very happy that I now pay only 2/3's of what I was paying AT&T! Customer service is wonderful! Only problem I had was in getting Pure Talk to put both my name and my husband's name on the account so that either one of us could manage it. In the 3 months we've been on it, last week was my 3rd call to effect getting both names on the account. I've been told it's "done." (Again!) And I hope it is.

Switched to Pure Talk because of advertising on conservative radio. Experience, so far, is equal to our old legacy carrier. The only things I don’t like are phone messages require me to dial the system to retrieve (like the old days) vs. having a transcript of the message available to preview. Also, we like to vacation in Mexico and wish international travel was included for talk, text and data.

It would have been nice; however, I ordered two SIM cards because I wanted to put my phone and my wife's on Pure Talk. Well, one of the SIM cards you sent me was defective. After two days or so of trying to make it work, I decided to try the second one. Guess what? It worked!!! But during the process of trying SIM Card#1, I lost my phone book!!!!! By the time I had mine up and working, my wife said for me to not come near her phone with PureTalk. She would just stay with C Spire! Thanks a lot.

When trying another carrier when the one I had been with for a number of yrs (10+) was high priced & refusing to make concessions, I had terrible coverage in spite of them insisting it was my problem. I found Pure Talk efficient, less expensive and able to address my coverage issues as they used a different tower system. Furthermore, the monthly price was less expensive with better coverage and customer service.
