Very glad I switched to Pure Talk. I had been with Verizon for 20 years and the prices kept going higher than other providers. I kept hearing about Pure Talk on the Rush Limbaugh show and also while listening to “Clay and Buck”. The staff was helpful and made the changes easily. I’m saving $25 a month, and I get more data! Thank you.

New customer service is good - tech support was good the one time I needed it. Had a little hiccup to get the prior carrier to unlock my phone - but Pure Talk explained it to me and we got it resolved with phone calls. Thanks.

I have been so pleased with EVERY encounter when I have called. While ordering service I knew I was making the right choice. Every question was answered and the rep was so friendly. I needed support to get my phone working. The rep spent over an hour and a half explaining what I needed to do and walked me through every step. I’ve never had that good of an experience with other phone companies. Keep up the five star work. You are all incredible!

On 02/04/2022 I called to update Payment. After 45 minutes trying to get the card changed, I called the direct number and Diamond helped me. She was very courteous and helped me sign up my new card. She also told me that if I called the direct line of 877-820-7873 I would be able to talk to someone from PureTalk USA instead of using the *611 which sent me to AT&T. After getting through all the prompts, I was transferred to someone who had a very distinct and difficult to understand accent. That person was not helpful. I was thrilled to be able to speak to Diamond who answered all my questions quickly and efficiently as well as getting my new payment information correctly recorded.

#1 Pure Talk isn't afraid to say MERRY CHRISTMAS! (I was THRILLED to receive an e-mail from Pure Talk wishing me a MERRY CHRISTMAS! There are few companies with the fortitude to say "Merry Christmas" anymore.)
#2 Customer service is THE BEST and IN AMERICA. (I can understand the person on the other end - no difficult accents)! Every time I've called Pure Talk customer service, the person on the other line was patient, cheerful, and super-friendly! I NEVER dread calling customer service when it's Pure Talk! Imagine that!?
#3 Truck-Driver APPROVED! Excellent Coverage! --- My husband is a trucker, and he drives from New York to Minnesota straight down to Texas and over to Florida! He covers the entire eastern side of the USA, and he is SO HAPPY with Pure Talk's coverage! Our family left AT&T to switch to Pure Talk. We had heard wonderful things about Pure Talk, but we were hesitant to switch. SO GLAD WE DID NOW!!!! Wish we would have switched to Pure Talk sooner!
#4 Pure Talk is PATRIOT approved! The reason we heard about Pure Talk was because of all the patriot, underground news sources advertising Pure Talk (Dave Ramsey also)! WE LOVE SUPPORTING THE USA! And we are so happy to be a part of the Pure Talk family which shares our values of our beautiful AMERICA!
#5 We are saving money with Pure Talk! As if all the aforementioned points weren't good enough, Pure Talk's service cut our cell phone bill in half! I'm not exaggerating. Pure Talk's service is 50% cheaper than our former service with AT&T, and, NOT ONLY THAT, but we're getting more data per month than we did with AT&T!

My opinion - they need to push a new software update. Unfortunately I will probably not be around to see it. Two items that are essential for my personal and professional life.

Then I went to reduce my data for the next cycle and apparently it was billed that day so I was unable to reduce my data. I should have been credited for the overcharge. I feel like I am being Nickel and dimed, every time I turn around something goes astray. I have only been with you for 2 months and am not encouraged by my experiences.

When I first called Pure Talk after hearing the commercial on the radio, I was with Sprint/T-Mobile and paying too much for my service and was looking to upgrade to a 4G phone before January 1, 2022 before losing service due to my Kyocera DuraXTP 3G phone becoming incompatible with the 4G requirement. I did not know much regarding the great offers available online for new iPhones, but talked with a salesperson who directed me to get a SIM card to switch to Pure Talk. That would’ve been a great opportunity to sell me a new iPhone, including a new iPhone SE with 256G. There was a fantastic deal at the time and would’ve been better than the iPhone SE 64G I ended up with.
The SIM card didn’t work, and left me without service with my new PureTalk plan for two weeks. I found out later that I missed many calls and texts during that time. I was on the phone with Customer Service with 10 different people total and nothing could be done. Finally, a customer service representative helped me to purchase the iPhone SE 64G I have now, although no longer at the fantastic price available to new customers, which I no longer was despite having no service during my first two weeks as a Pure Talk customer. I settled with my current phone instead of getting the phone I wanted because it was now out of my price range without the new customer sale.
I chose the “happy” rating because the service is good and the price I pay every month is more than half of what I was paying before, which is fantastic. With a long history and training in sales, I can say that I am disappointed with the salesperson who prompted to sell me a SIM card for a phone that would only work for one more month anyway and not try to sell me on a brand new phone at a great price. That, to me, is a poorly trained salesperson.
Why sell me a temporary solution (that didn’t work anyway) when the obvious long-term solution is right in front of you? I had to buy a new phone anyway, and I did, but no longer at the sale price. And why? Because I had already been a member for two weeks. A member without service or solutions, but a member nonetheless. Missing out on an white iPhone SE 256G for $149 still bothers me.

I bought 2 phones from Pure Talk. Both are having issues that keep me from actually use them. I have been given the run around from customer service and the warranty people for both Nokia and Samsung, with no actual resolution to either phone issue. I have spent hours on the phone with customer service and the 2 times it seemed as though I would actually get the help I needed I had to call back or I got disconnected. AND there is a loop in the customer service system that when I've been transferred to the tech department, instead of getting the tech department, I am sent back to the beginning recording.
When I have tried to get the same representative that was sort of helping me the call got disconnected and after waiting I was looped back to the beginning recording AND when I asked to have the representative call me when he had a chance, I did not receive a call. I am still trying to get 2 phones that I paid for to work, but neither PureTalk who I purchased the phones from or the Nokia and Samsung companies have been helpful in allowing me to actually use my warranties. I didn't even receive a digital receipt when I paid for these phones so I can't even take the Samsung phone in to get it diagnosed.
I wanted to like PureTalk because you're American owned and Dennis Prager vouched for you, but I have been a customer since the beginning of November 2021 and neither of my 2 phones have worked, and because I missed the 14 day phone window, which is different than the try service for 30 days window, I'm being treated like my business with this company doesn't matter. And I am really disappointed that it has taken me this long and countless hours spent with customer service to still have 2 phones that don't work well enough to actually use the service I am paying for.

The service is terrible here where I live as well as where I work (in Washington, Utah) even though we researched before switching. I'm saving a bunch of money but I guess you get what you pay for. All of the hundreds of numbers I had blocked are not unblocked because Pure Talk doesn't support blocking numbers. I can hardly get my phone to work and I can't understand anything anyone is saying when I speak over the phone. We will be switching companies because I need a phone that works. Hopefully someday you will get better and work out the bugs and maybe we will come back.

Asked to rate my experience with PureTalk. Well…it’s just ok…service is not over the top. Coverage is normally 2 bars which is average with any company I’ve been with. We live higher than the cell signals that run horizontal and do not rise. So the price is good for the poor service we get.

I switched over to PureTalk from ** because of the savings. I enjoyed the service ** offered and I had them for a long time. But when I ran out of data they automatically bumped me up to the next plan. With PureTalk whatever data plan I purchase, that’s what I get. It allows my grandson to have a little data for his phone when he’s not around WiFi. And my bill runs around $42 month. I save around $12 month switching from ** to PureTalk and I save much more than that from other carriers. Plus PureTalk has the same coverage area as any other carrier.

After 6 calls and changes to settings things are now working, for the time being, No one ever offered to do anything for me due to the large amount of time that I couldn't send or receive texts, SMS and MMS.

I 100% recommend switching to Pure Talk USA. Pros: Cost, quality, coverage, customer service associates. So pretty much everything is a pro. Cons: Hold time. The pros, however, far outweigh this one con. Star rating: Overall 5+ stars. Hold time when calling 1 maybe 2 stars. So 4 stars because the hold time might be off putting to some people with no patience.
We have only been with Pure Talk USA for a short time now. Absolutely love the service. The quality of the calls is fantastic. We only had one problem with transferring the iPad and the tech person solved that very easily. The reason for the 4 star rating isn't because of the actual phone service; that is a 5+ rating as far as I am concerned. Since we have had our service we have not had any issues, other than the one stated above, to need customer service, which is fantastic.
You have been requesting a rating on customer service and that is what this is about. The customer service is actually very good, and I am very grateful that I am speaking to someone who is in this country and we do not have a language barrier to contend with. The person we speak with is always polite, knowledgeable and patient. They are always able to help without another call being needed (when calling for transfer of mom's account then later upgrading her phone).
The only issue with customer service is the hold time to actually speak with a person. We have had two people transfer to Pure Talk from other providers on our recommendation. While they are very happy with the switch because the quality is higher than they were getting, they were less than impressed with the hold time. The hold time to speak with a person is usually 15 to 20 minutes or longer. For me that isn't a problem because I have plenty to keep me busy while holding. So yes, I still highly recommend switching to Pure Talk USA for high quality service and coverage at a very low rate.

Hi when I signed up the sales rep specifically stated that calling to Canada/Mexico would be added to plans within the month and just be included in the plan cost, not costing any extra. This is why we switched, that turned out to be an outright lie. I have also called in to speak to a rep about it and was assured that they would review the call because all calls are recorded but no one ever did and no one has gotten back to me as promised. So as it seems this is just a big bait and switch to get as many people signed up for mediocre service because the coverage is not what was stated either. I doubt anyone will respond to this either but hey maybe we'll be surprised and this will actually be read and something will be done about it as promised. Thanks.

I live in the country where service is limited and I had Sprint and TMobile (when they switched) and wasn't happy with their service at all. When I switched to Pure Talk it got a little better but I don't get any calls at home but I can call out and for some reason I can no longer send pics any more. My husband uses Straight Talk on the Verizon network and has great service. I was hoping not to switch to Straight Talk or Verizon but it looks like I'm going to have to. Hope your service gets better and maybe I can switch back at some point.

While using prepaid GSM smartphones I've shopped around for the best value while trying many network operators.

I've decided there are no better operators to choose from for GSM service and will be sticking with PureTalk for a long time to come. Warning: If you want advanced calling features like VoLTE or Wifi Calling, be sure you have a 100% AT&T compatible phone. You can bring incompatible phones to the network and they will receive service, just know that you need to be compatible to receive advanced features.
