Pure Talk appears to be entirely unable to handle customer specifications. AND WORSE, the company leaves their EXCELLENT CSR's to handle the company's rightly earned negative feedback. The Pure Talk CSR's are EXCELLENT but the company itself seems to have little enthusiasm for excellence in the way it responds to customer requests. I cannot recommend Pure Talk to anyone who wants even the slightest consideration from the company. I expect to be VERY public about my decision when I switch over to another provider.
Hello Tom!
We are deeply sorry to hear about your frustrating experience, and we completely understand why you are upset.
Thank you for recognizing the hard work of our customer service representatives; they strive to do their best every day. Your feedback regarding our handling of customer specifications is being taken very seriously, as it highlights a major gap between our frontline team and our back-end processes that we need to fix.

I have had a wonderful experience in switching to Pure Talk. Always polite, friendly, and knowledgeable people from the U.S. They listened and helped through the entire transition and through all my questions. My previous phone carrier was a guaranteed 2 hour call with tons of waiting, tons of AI frustration, and foreigners in other countries that couldn’t understand my questions. Plus, the price is way better. Glad I found a new phone company home.

So far I'm not that happy. The phone sucks and the customer service is lacking. My card got stolen 2 months ago. After that I updated autopay to the knew card, yet every month since then they say there is an issue and service will be shit off within 2 days. I have updated the auto pay every month and it once again said there's an issue. Customer service over email says you have 7 days, but the texts say otherwise. I'd rather go back to a big company that doesn't threaten phone service cut off after one attempt to run a card.
Hello, Chase! We're very sorry for the trouble with Autopay! Please rest assured that your account will not be deactivated—our system allows a 7-day grace period from your due date to process payment.
To resolve this, we recommend completely resetting your payment profile rather than updating the existing card:

Re-enroll with your payment card
