I heard about Pure talk from the Ben Shapero show and I'm not happy with what I have been paying for. I'm not satisfied with Pure talk. The only time I can use any apps on my phone is if I'm on WiFi. If my phone is not connected to WiFi it won't work. If I continue to feel this way I will switch to a new company. I would not recommend this to a friend.

We are very happy after switching from AT&T to PureTalk USA. We have had no coverage issues and pay only a fraction of the cost of the "big" telecommunications companies. Also, we've had a much better customer service experience with PureTalk USA.

There are times when service is spottier than when we were on AT&T, this is ok, however due to the reduced price. There is one thing that is a bit of a bother, and that is texting. Oft-times it takes minutes, not seconds, but minutes to send a simple (no picture) text. It tends to happen during the day while I am at work and unable to call anyone…so I text and it takes 3+ minutes to send a text. :/ Other than spotty reception, and delayed texting, does PureTalk let you know when you are getting closer to your plan's data limit? Thank you.

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. Pure Talk has the WORST technical support of any company I have experienced. HOURS AND HOURS AND HOURS of frustration and wasted time to set up a phone.

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.

I had Verizon for several years and was always pleased with my coverage, service, and bill. But when 5G came around, they throttled back our signal strength from home and often I couldn't make a call or receive a call without being on my WIFI. They had no answers for the issue. So I switched to Pure Talk and now I have no issue with service from home or around my local area. Plus I immediately started saving over 30.00 a month, but gave up my unlimited data. Most often always on someones WIFI if not at home, so not affected adversely thus far with with 6.0 GB. I am going to rural VT this coming week to my hunting camp, and can only get service up there thru AT&T, so am anxious to see how that works for me. Very happy with everything so far and would not hesitate to recommend Pure Talk to others.

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. They would go through the list of things to do on the phone but when that didn't work, that was it. NEVER was there an attempt to actually fix it.

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!!!

I use this line for my business, which is primary done via text. However, the data speeds are so poor that I don't even bother using it. I carry two phones, and will use the other line to access my business apps. Voice quality is significantly inferior to the AT&T that I was using previously. However, your service does work for 80% of my needs, which is communicating via text. I would say that the advertising done for your product via the podcasts I listen to are deceptive.

In between this time, you will keep your current carrier’s SIM card in your device until we email you to confirm we have your number.

Dear PureTalk, I had a rocky activation experience that lasted over two days. In addition, initial activation support person said I needed a new phone, immediately charged it to my credit card. Port department said I did not need a new phone so new phone was cancelled before it shipped, but took 2.5 weeks to credit cost back to my credit card. Very annoying. Since then service has been relatively smooth sailing. Please call me if you want more details about the activation experience.

This was the worst experience I have ever had with a phone carrier! First of all, I had NO internet connection anywhere including my own house standing 5 feet away from my modem. Pure Talk couldn't locate a signal if it was trying to find them. I could not use my GPS to go anywhere new because, you guessed it, no service. I had to carry written directions like I was back in high school. Then they charge an extra six dollars a month unless you are on direct pay. I only get paid once a month and asked if they could move my payment date back 3 days so I would not get charged the extra amount. Even that was too complicated for them. Finally, I had enough and switched to another carrier.
When my sim card came and I cancelled my Pure Talk service (best day ever!!!), the thieves told me that they could not give me a refund for the remaining 26 days!!! that I would not be receiving service! On what planet do they feel entitled to keep money they have not earned? I did not have choice to only pay for the 4 days, I was forced to pay up front for the whole month. This is a shady company. They have no morals, no customer service, no internet service, I don't know why they qualify to be called a service company at all. She actually told me that I had to time my cancellation perfectly to the end of the month in order to not lose money. What a bunch of crooks. Never again. Good riddance. I hope no one has to suffer the frustration and the rip off that I did.

Previously, we had AT&T with surprisingly no issues except for the cost. I switched our acct over (4 phones), one of we is hardly ever used, so I won't comment on that one, my phone, of which I USUALLY don't have any issues. Probably because I'm usually at home or in an office in which my phone is set to wifi calling. The other two phones on the acct, both users are extremely unhappy with data coverage. I thought it would be exactly as AT&T because you stated that it's the same network. Clearly, something seems to be lacking. I am very happy with the cost savings and I would recommend due to that, but, I too have experienced trying to log onto the internet to look up something (in a populated area) but did not have access to WiFi and I too was unable to complete my transaction.

So they use AT&T towers for their service. However, AT&T customers get the best access. So, if you live in an area where there are a lot of AT&T customers, forget data.

I heard about PureTalk on the radio & was extremely unsatisfied with my current provider at the time. The radio discount offer sent me “running“ to PureTalk! My goal was to switch providers without increasing my monthly rate. At first, I was disappointed that the unlimited plan was more expensive than my current provider’s plan, so I signed up for the PureTalk plan that matched my current rate of $45- the 25GB data plan, hoping that it would be enough for me.
One of THE best features of PureTalk is the ability to check your usage (even daily!) online. By the end of the month, I saw that 25GB was actually much more than I needed. I adjusted my plan several times & eventually found the perfect plan for me! The ease & efficiency of making a switch, receiving confirmation, tracking my data usage & making payments has me singing the praises of PureTalk! I’m telling everyone in my family, my church, & my circle of friends about PureTalk! I’m not keeping the secret about how to get fabulous cell phone service without breaking your bank account! Bravo PureTalk!

I'll just list all the failures.
-Tech are subpar, do not know their job.
-Operators are rude.
-I asked multiple time to speak to a supervisor. No call back. No supervisor called despite being told one would contact me within 24 hours.
-After 6 month, still no voice mail.
-Every-time one calls, you have to give all the same info over and over.
-Now I'm trying to port back to Verizon and Puretalk is saying the wrong address is being used... Funny. I verified my zip yesterday. The exact one that was on Puretalk's files.
It's 2022. This type of garbage should not be happening.

I appreciate the discounted price. It has helped me save money in this time of high prices. Generally the service is good. I don't lose calls. But ever since switching to PureTalk my phone has become really buggy. The internet is slower (not data transfer, but the browser). The keyboard doesn't come up all the time. I miss texts from friends. AirDrop is inconsistent. I had none of these problems when the phone was on Verizon. It all started the moment we switch to PureTalk.
Also, the voicemail feature is silly. Is this 1997? I have to call in and remember a series of numerical instructions to listen to voicemail? (My wife had voicemails saved on her phone from her late grandmother. When we switched to PureTalk, it deleted what we had saved so she can't hear her grandma's voice anymore.)

I was not pleased with Pure Talk from the very beginning of our experience with them.

Talked to a lot of people, but always seemed to be a different story! Finally, after getting everything working, no real thanks to Pure Talk. We were happy with the service, then our phones quit working and I contacted Pure Talk and was informed that 2 phones that I had just purchased were now no longer on their network and we were out of luck. You need new phones and we are not going to do anything for you. I am back with Verizon happily, and even though I bought my wife a new phone.

When I first switched to PureTalk, the process was convoluted and resulted in my being without phone service for several days. It also involved multiple long and frustrating calls with customer support. Therefore, when I finally got basic service to work, but had other issues, I was reluctant to call back for fear of once again losing phone service. Finally, the problem became been annoying enough that I mustered up the courage to once again engage with PureTalk customer support. The first person I talked to instructed me to remove the physical sim from my card and reboot. He told me that when I did that, my problem would go away. He also said that PureTalk does not use physical simulations, and that that was the reason I was having the problems I was experiencing.
When I followed his instructions to the letter, my fears were realized. I then called PureTalk customer support on another phone, and spent 90 minutes on the phone with another customer support agent who was insistent that he was the right person for the call and that he would fix my problem. At the end of the call, my problem was still the same. He promised to call me within the next 90 minutes with a solution. It’s now been three days, and no call, and no phone service. I was the pioneer in experimenting with PureTalk for my other family members and friends. Sorry to say, you can guess what my recommendation has been to them. In fact, at this point, I’m ready to give up. Please issue me a full refund for the few weeks of troubled service that I put up with and we will part ways.

You sent me an email asking for my feedback on my experience with Pure Talk USA. It has been hit and miss since first signing up. Yes, you are in the USA. Yes, you answer the phone when I call - eventually... No, not every tech who answers the call has the right answers to my questions, which are usually why is my phone not connecting, or why is my wife or mother's phone not connecting, and it eventually goes to an actual tech who can answer the question. That answer is to completely reset all settings on my phone to stay connected to Pure Talk USA, a reseller of AT&T. AT&T sucks to be honest. They have the worst customer service, and their signal strength where I live is beyond terrible.
I came to you for a service based on a reference from AMAC. I was told my bill would be less than anyone else. Turns out it is actually a little higher than the service I did have with a reseller of Verizon. Verizon has a weak signal where I live, but it is better than AT&T. I am not sure how long we will continue to use Pure Talk, as this issue with our phones being dropped off the network from time to time is beyond frustrating, and it is the only time I have ever experienced this with any cell phone service I have ever had. Oh, and the email sent has choices for how well you are doing, but the links do not work. Really? You ask me how you are doing, and the email does not link to the choice you set in the email?

Difficult to access email messages so I don't get them and Pure Talk is my only source of cell calls/messages and I would appreciate easier access to the VMs and would appreciate help or making the process easier. I like your service much better than ATT so making it easier would be a big benefit for me.

I am very happy having switched to Pure Talk for my mobile provider. The switch was simple, fast, and I am getting great cell reception. The low cost plan provides everything I need, and provides multiple times the data than my previous plan at a similar price range. More data, same cost. I highly recommend Pure Talk for mobile service.

My phone won't ring the majority of the time and half the notifications do not work properly.. I have had full bars of 5G and was unable to process mobile payments from my phone because it said no data or network unavailable.. I have not been impressed at all..

Originally, I wanted a new phone with unlimited data and a good amount of hotspot data. Soon, I heard about this service from the Ben Shapiro Show. Yes, I did get my 1st month half-off and a significant discount on my phone as well; as long I have the service for a good amount of time to pay off the phone. I didn't mind knowing that my time with phones last almost three years.
The service itself is quite good when away from large crowds; not a problem for me either since I'm at home a lot of the time. Plus, the PureTalk service has a large service area that rides on the AT&T network. Also, the phone I purchased is the nicest phone I've ever owned and works very well. Still, I am figuring out the full capabilities of this device; I am pleasantly pleased.
This is service offers a great deal to enjoy, but it does takes some searching out to figure out. Again, I was wanting something simple with many benefits. This service offers something good for everyone; I found something good for my lifestyle. This is my honest review. I like this service and its products.

I'm trying to port a phone number from a business account, but the form for porting requires a first and last name. I just broke the company name into two parts. I'm guessing that's why I'm still waiting (48 hours) to hear if it worked or not. Unfortunately, there's been no communication from Pure Talk, so I have no idea what's going on.
What would be really helpful is some sort of explanation about what to expect. The little flyer that came with the sim card said this process usually takes an hour but sometimes 72. What it doesn't tell me is how I know when it works or not. I filled out the form and the website said thanks, but now what? Will I get an email? Will I get a phone call? Will the old phone just stop working and I need to put the sim card in the new phone? After the online form is filled out, I strongly recommend a screen with further instructions, something along the line of, "Thanks for filling out the form. You should receive an email with further instructions in about an hour. If you haven't heard from us within 72 hours, please call us at 1-800-..."
Greetings, Carrie! Once the port is initiated, it takes anywhere between 1 and 72 business hours to complete. In between this time, you will keep your current carrier’s SIM card in your device until we email you confirming we have completed the port request. If there is an issue with your port, we will notify you via email. Please be sure to check your inbox as well as your spam folder for email correspondence. Once your port is confirmed, you will power your device off and place your PureTalk SIM card inside. Finally, you will power your device on and your services will be active!

Updated on 7/27/2022: In response to this review, was told a tech would call -- then nothing. Was told I'd receive a SIMS by Tuesday but it never arrived. Pure Talk doesn't have support on the weekends. Meanwhile, no phone service.
Original review: I was excited to switch to Pure Talk. The eSIMS doesn't work after spending 7 hours with different reps. So there's no phone or text service now and no end in sight. Meanwhile *need to communicate and complete a contractual business transaction with due dates and deadlines. Getting an escalated ticket to someone with expertise to fix is difficult and they won't give a day let alone time window so you can make sure you get their call. Unless you're able to stay glued to an alternate phone 24/7 for literally days, it's easy to miss them. They leave a message with no way to contact them back directly so you have to start the whole process all over again. Most of the people there seem exceedingly nice and one was just barely civil. I sincerely regret trying this carrier.

I was needing to purchase a signal booster for my home. I knew PureTalk did not sell them, I just needed signal and band information for my area. Which is what I asked for on the original email. I was not asking for an endorsement just signal information so I get the right one. If I could not get my phone to make and receive calls I would have to get a different carrier. I live in town and the tower is a quarter mile from my home. I have great signal outside, just not in my home. I replied back with that information, repeating what I was requesting, but never heard anything back until this email.
The original response looked like a canned response and not like they had even read my message. If I would not have been able to get this information from another source I would have had to cancel my service and it would have been because of a lack of response from PureTalk tech support. I do not mind not having a brick and mortar store to go to as long as I can get proper support some other way. Your support folk need to improve their service. Hoping if I need to Contact service again it will be better than this one.

Been using ATT for years then switched to Verizon, both service providers could care less about customer service. So decided to change for a lower rate, but when I quickly learned that PureTalk was eating up my data, so had to upgrade to same price as ATT and 10 month more than Verizon. I'm most likely going to change over to Visible for even a much better rate if their advertisements are true and correct. Pure Talk is very mis-leading when they print, unlimited, talk, text, data.
