I spent over 9 hours on hold over the course of several different days trying to get my new phone to work. There’s no way to get in touch with anyone. It’s ridiculous!! As I’m sure this survey is falling on deaf ears!! I’m sure I’ll hear nothing back. I had others that were planning to switch until this happened. The service is great, now that it works, but the customer service is awful! Sad to say.

I am old and very uncomfortable with this new technology. I switched my service from ATT because they have gone "woke" and Puretalk was recommended by AMAC (alternative to AARP). I found the whole experience very difficult and frustrating, but the staff at Puretalk were very patient and understanding and helped me every step of the way until I finally got it all figured out. Since then I have had no problems and am very comfortable using the service and the new phone.

We had to buy a new phone for my husband since Puretalk couldn’t support the 2 year old Android he had. Found this out after we committed to the plan and after I was told his phone would work. So, it’ll take over a year before we realize any savings. Customer service is cumbersome; multiple transfers, on hold for 2 hours or more, not helpful in addressing questions/concerns. Disappointed.

I was assured that my Galaxy S7 was compatible, so I subscribed to the Pure Talk Service. When I received the SIM card, I placed it in the phone and it did not work. Pure Talk Tech support could not get it to work and then they told me the phone was not compatible. I asked them if my Galaxy S20 was compatible and they said no. I tried it in my Galaxy S20 anyway because I needed AT&T service and it worked. I removed the Pure Talk SIM and when I arrived at the location where I needed AT&T Service, I reinstalled the SIM and it no longer worked. Pure Talk Tech Support could not get it to work and then they advised the phone was blacklisted, reported as lost or stolen. I have since returned the phone to a Back Market reseller and they are replacing the phone.
I NEVER actually used Pure Talk's service. I originally signed up for the S7 and it didn't work. Pure Talk refuses to provide a refund. They essentially stole my money. I do not recommend them. Hold times are long, customer service. It's not clear to me they provide any benefit beyond AT&T so I suggest you go direct to AT&T.

Initial problems in setting up our phones because you have to remove the SIM card while you are creating your account, which created a situation where we had no access to our phone, all while needing our phone to set up your account.

We recently moved our service account from ** to Pure Talk. One reason I was willing to make the move was because both services use the AT&T network meaning that our existing phones would work. In signing up with PT, I experienced some technical issue (don't remember what it was) which is why I contacted your customer service. Their response was that our phones were not compatible with PT and we would need to purchase new phones. I explained that we had been on the AT&A network for years and compatibility should not be an issue. That news was pretty upsetting. I kept trying to work the issue and did find a setting change to make on the phones which resolved the problem. They work fine on your service. I am not looking forward to having to use your customer service in the future. If I have any further issue like the last one we will definitely move back to **, even if it costs a little more.

I originally went with PURETALK to save money. I had a family plan (4 phones) with AT&T and was paying about $240 a month. Even with the data sharing we were going over our allotted amount every month because our daughter uses a lot due to her job. With PURETALK I was able to get her 10 gb which she needs and 2 gb each for the rest of us. My monthly bill now is about $84. I am not tech savvy but it wasn’t hard to change over the 4 phones to PURETALK. Now this isn’t PURETALK’s fault but I get a lot of spam and robo calls and I would like to see them do something about that.

Both times I called customer service; the first time I had to wait an hour and a half. The second time was only half an hour. The reason I was unhappy with your service is because I was told your SIMS would work with my existing phone. It did not. I was without phone service for two weeks. I then tried to order a new smartphone at the price advertised on the website $50, but was told I had to pay full price. $270. Therefore, I ordered a Nokia which I very much dislike because it doesn't work like a smartphone. I cannot receive group texts or post pictures on Facebook. I wish I hadn't left my old phone company.

I called the other week to pay off my phone. I was given an amount and I paid it. When my bill kept being the same amount I called back. Was told that I didn’t pay off the phone, I just paid off something else that he couldn’t explain to me. I told him that even if it didn’t pay off the phone that my monthly bill should have changed. Of course he couldn’t give a clear explanation. The phone service has been okay but I am very disappointed in customer service. I have no idea why the first rep took money from me and the 2nd rep kept mentioning that I was told about that amount. If I don’t get a clear explanation of what is going on I’m going to have to contact someone who can help me and warn others about pure talk. Right now I would love to have someone who knows what they are talking about to contact me; calling in I will just get another rep who has no clue and they’ll give me a promise that someone will call me back.

I have NO issue with any of your representatives. They are always courteous and knowledgeable. On Saturday April 23 I called to find out why I am not receiving the 6-digit verification codes that are frequently required when a company wants to verify a request or who I am. I was informed that these are called "Short codes" and these are not handled by PureTalk. Very frustrating, as I only rarely use my cell phone for conversations, but often need it for these codes. Sometimes they come through, often not. I'm still getting used to my phone (Nokia 6300) so I was never sure which button to press or swipe or whatever, until I was informed of the issue with the short code.

All 5 devices worked the first day. The next day 1 phone a tablet worked. Spent 20+ total hours on hold, on borrowed phones on several calls to be transferred over and over to incompetent agents, told reboot the phones, your phones will work by tomorrow, and all your phones need to be replaced. After 2 weeks with no phones I switched the 3 phones that still didn't work back to Verizon. I typically do not leave negative messages. I would rather not say anything. But your porting team really sucked. As much as I like the idea of supporting an alternative to AT&T and Verizon, I can't recommend you to anyone who counts on having a working phone. Charles **

When I first came over to PureTalk for cell phone service, it was my wife and I that both ported over our cell numbers to PureTalk. Previously my wife was with Spectrum and I was with Straight Talk through Walmart. Within just a matter of days my wife was not pleased with the "number of bars" she had while sitting in our own living room, and of course she was naturally comparing the PureTalk service to Spectrum. She was so displeased with the PureTalk reception in our area, i.e., Montgomery, Alabama, that we changed her service over to Verizon within a week's time. Overall I have been satisfied with PureTalk. Further, our initial order with PureTalk included a new phone, an iPhone 12 for me. I also took advantage of the PureTalk 30 month financing with 0% interest.
This order was placed around February 22, 2022 and I enrolled in paperless billing and automatic payments via my credit card. To-date, PureTalk has not debited my credit card for any of the 30 monthly payments. I find this extremely odd. I called PureTalk last month (April) and I called today asking when is PureTalk going to start debiting my credit card for the payment for my new phone? Both times the customer service person sounded surprised that the payments for my new phone have not begun yet.

My mother had seen an advertisement for Pure talk in her AMAC magazine. I contacted Pure talk for more information and their sales associates were very helpful, answered all my questions and weren’t pushy in sales at all. We decided to switch from a family plan with Verizon to a family plan with Pure Talk. I wanted to make sure we gave it the month to ensure I would be able to get a good signal in some of the places I travel for work. I was very pleased to find that not only did I get good service but in some places and even better signal and switching to Pure Talk. We also receive more data than the other plan we had. With pure talk we can get an entire family planned for less than what I was paying for one phone line. I am very pleased and have been telling others about the service as well.

They charged me $89 for services I did not receive. I called and called. Could not get anyone on phone. Left many email messages asking them to please call me or respond. Nothing. Just kept the money. I disputed via CC. They told CC that I received the services. But they won't call me to discuss. I finally gave up. Let them have it. Then one day my service stopped working. I could not get anyone online. This went on for 2 weeks. Finally started working again but by then I had moved on. I sent Puretalk many messages that I was cancelling my basic service. To my surprise, they charged my CC another $89 fee. I disputed. I don't know what will happen but this is scary. Beware.

I recently switched to PureTalk after hearing about the company on The Ramsey Show. The cell service is top notch. Unfortunately, the wait times I went through for help transferring my phone with Technical Support were incredibly long. I ended up transferring 3 phones to PureTalk and I was on hold with each (separate) call for over an hour and half, each time I called. (I had to call in multiple times with each phone transfer). No exaggeration. Most of the customer representatives were great. The customer representatives in the Porting Department were very helpful, specifically.

Contacted PureTalk, after talking with a very nice customer rep, we were informed that our bill would be less than what we were paying with ** and a few other benefits that we thought were worth taking advantage of. However, after switching we found that service was not as good as it sounded. First, they couldn't get our second phone to work. It was approximately three weeks with phone calls everyday. Each time we called, we were on hold for no less than an hour. One day we spent six hours on the phone. Customer service rep was very nice and apologetic however, we were told that a ticket had to be created for tech services. It took two days for tech services to get back to us and they couldn't resolve the problem. Each time we were told a ticket had to be created and we were without a phone for three weeks, we gave up and told them no more tickets, no more phone calls were going to be made and we were done.
We went back to **, and their representative apologized and allowed us to return to our previous account with discounts that actually paid our first bill, and, they were able to fix our second phone within a week. They even gave us a temporary phone number until they could fix the problem. Puretalk is very hard to talk to someone and creates frustration, confusion and irritation. If you're looking for a very good company - **. They answer the phone within 5 min and are very helpful.

I do hope that they incorporate Visual Voicemail (to auto-download voicemail for playback on the phone without needing to call a number), but that is the biggest gripe. Service is great. Company is easy to work with. Thanks!

I have attempted to set up billing so that I pay ner the first of the month due to my income cycle. You attempt to collect when I think I have already paid. Your 611 system won't let me call because your ** signal is too weak. I could only use the phone twice last month. I cannot call you from the one phone that works.

I switched to PureTalk for two reasons. 1. Price is considerably cheaper than Verizon. 2. My understanding is that PureTalk does not give funding to Liberal causes which I disagree with. However, the trade-off has been much lower service coverage and customer service has been very poor resulting in a minimum 2 + hour wait time in order to talk to a representative.
