My husband and I have been with Pure Talk for several years, and it just keeps getting better! When we first switched, it was for the low price... We still have a low price, but the plans have kept improving over the years! Thanks, PureTalk, for great service options, at incredible prices!

Your prices are good, but you have no technical support. We could not reach technical support by phone (always busy), and by email, the answer did not fix the problem. When your customers have problems, they should be able to get their problems fixed.

I have been a customer for over a year, and PureTalk has had the best coverage for my phone than when I had plans with Verizon or T-Mobile. PureTalk rarely drops calls. I work in an urban area and live in a rural area and the calls come through clearly. Not so with the previous carriers. I also enjoy the family package - the cost of our phones and phone plans do not break the bank, and we are so grateful for PureTalk for this! We are not huge data users so having the expensive plans from other networks didn't make sense. PureTalk allows us an option to fit our family's needs.

I've been using Pure TalkUSA through 3 phones. Calls are clear as can be, no drops, compared with when I had AT&T, and when I've needed to call customer support, billing or service, the person on the other end was always knowledgeable and helpful. Most of the problems I have with the phone are because it's been dropped too many times and ought to be replaced, but as long as my service is predictably solid, I can deal with occasional issues from the phone itself. In fact, I just added my husband's phone a few months ago, and he's happy with the improved quality and service.

Pure Talk USA has been a great provider for the past 6 years for me. The number one plus for the company is that their price includes taxes and fees so that when they tell you your cost is X that is what you will be billed without adding any more costs. Use of the AT&T tower system makes the coverage great, even in the middle of nowhere Texas. Good value for the money.

When I received the PT text that my account would be closed at 8 pm, I tried to reach customer service. I found it upsetting that on Sunday there are no humans to help. Finally I got one of my children to walk me thru the many steps of the online site and was able to enter the new card #. It seemed difficult but worked out ok at the end.

I just switched from Mint Sim this morning which apparently was a very bad mistake. I usually don't take time to write bad reviews but this is worth it. They offer 4g LTE speeds but that's not what you get at all. I put my sim card in this morning after my # ported and my phone didn't automatically pick up the APN settings so I called to get them.
The guy that answered from customer service gave me some and a little "H+" popped up on my phone where LTE is usually displayed, he said that's the same as LTE speeds?! Well it's like 2g speeds if that. I called back again and a woman representative said they can only guarantee 2g - 3g speeds. That's ridiculous, I live in Tulsa and AT&T has great service here.
Their service is slow as molasses, I'll be going back to Mint Sim next month. There isn't a lot of feedback on this company and their speeds but they are the worst MNVO operator as far as service that I have used. I've used Metro, Cricket, H20 and Mint Sim and this is terrible. The woman representative that I talked to last acted like I was bothering her when I called. I would not recommend this company to anyone. You can find APN settings online yourself and it makes it at least show LTE on the phone, but the service still sucks! Buyer beware!

The happiest part of my experience with PureTalk is the low price. However, I have discovered that the low price comes at a cost, and that is service on the network. Prior to my experience on PureTalk, I had been an AT&T customer, which is PureTalk's network provider. Since converting to PureTalk several months ago, I have been experiencing some "firsts" in using my smart phone. I had never known delays in sending text messages. Now, I often have to resend my messages 3, 4, or 5 times before they finally are sent. It used to be that when I hit, they were sent immediately.
There have been many times in the past month where my phone indicates that I have 4G service, but I cannot make use of any digital services: no SMS, no Internet. I have also experienced an increase in dropped phone calls. I recently took a trip to Alaska but had to "reboot" my phone in order to connect to the network. Again, the good part is the price. I had been paying upwards of $110/mo on AT&T; for much less service than I receive now for one fourth the cost!

The prices are reasonable. Maybe three months of the year, 4 GB is not quite enough data, but I don't want to jump to the next tier. 5 GB would probably satisfy my needs though. Also, I have kept in mind the referral incentive, but have yet to do it. Boost the referral $$$ and I'll recruit some new members! If my referrals stick with Pure TalkUSA as long as I have, it's gotta be worth it. Thanks!

I've been with Pure Talk since the start of the company. Loved the way I was able to manage my 5 phone lines and the low cost for what I was using. Now things are different. The overall cost for my plan went up significantly, from 30.00 a month to 80.00 a month.

WOW! Buyer beware. Purchased a new Alcatel A30 from Pure Talk. Phone has what looks like delamination lines on the surface of the screen, under the glass.

The phone has not even been activated yet. Was told that I have to pay return shipping and might have to pay a re-stocking fee. I am a disabled US vet and went with Pure Talk because they advertise US & Veteran Owned. Please stop advertising that way. With your customer service you give Vets a bad name. All I requested was to exchange the damaged phone for one that was not. Pure Talk choose to lose a customer over a $99.00 phone. That is a shame!

I have been using Pure Talk for a number of years. The service works well in my location and the plans are reasonably priced. It’s easy to purchase “unlocked” phones which are required. Pure Talk gives you a free sim card and you can transfer your old number without problems. You’re never charged extra for over-data usage. The incoming data will become very slow when you have used up your plan.

Came to Pure Talk to get away from the big 4 (or is it 3 now?). Never have had issues with coverage living on different coasts of America. Great cellphone plans and business model that has kept with the times, all while not increasing my monthly bill EVER. With so many companies constantly ratcheting up monthly charges despite no additional services or perks being offered, is all too common in today's world. Not Pure Talk though. My only gripe is lack of international calling when I travel to Canada. Other than that, I highly recommend Pure Talk to everyone.

Data coverage is very spotty in cities like Newport, OR, where other providers have better coverage and speed. Also, coverage doesn't seem to make much sense. I have better reception on off roads than in certain parts of the town. Considering a switch.

On Friday, June 22nd I ordered a SIM card to be sent to me 2-3 business days and spent $15.00. The delivery was first going FedEx which was wrong as I have PO Box, they switched to USPS Priority which got lost. They finally after many many phone calls sent it FedEx. It arrived Saturday and didn't work. Tech support was no help, Candace did not call me back on Saturday when I was told by Portia she would. My son was leaving on Sunday for vacation with no phone except his iPhone which he didn't want to take. I want a credit for phone #**. FULL CREDIT $42.00. I held for 15 mins on Saturday afternoon. I was locked out of my account for no reason. Tried password reset multiple times to no avail!!!

What's not to like? Over the years data caps have increased and plan pricing has decreased. Advertised rate is the rate you are charged; there are no extra taxes or "administrative" fees. Customer support has been unfailingly polite the few times I've called and website provides easy account management. Coverage area is quite good, though there are some gaps in remote areas and I wasn't able to get service in Canada.

My wife and I are very happy with. I can't believe people are paying 100s of dollars for their service. They're just crazy. Why would you do that in this day of so many choices. Pure Talk has the best service we've had by far. Lots coverage area. We haven't had a place that we haven't had signal. Thank you.

Pure Talk is simply the best. Cheap and reliable. I couldn't ask for more. I early have a loss of signal even when I am in the middle of nowhere and have streaming data almost everywhere. I tell friends about it all the time.

Forced into a higher-price plan - While I was hospitalized I was told my minutes on the 300 minute per month $10 plan had been used and I would be required to switch to a $20 a month plan. I logged into my account. Was informed I had at least 200 minutes left. Since I needed my phone I switched. A few weeks ago, on the unlimited plan, I was informed I had run out of minutes. Not possible. Con and fraud.

Great service and great price. Customer service is always ready to help. I get signal even in remote areas. There is a small glitch that doesn't let me send pictures with SMS but it's such a small issue. Thanks so much.

We are pleased with the service of our phone, but are not happy with how it is billed. We do not want to be on autopay. And we shouldn’t have to enter our account information and credit card every time we make a payment. Please fix your software to reflect this and to allow us to pay ahead before the billing date for the following month. We get error messages constantly that the bill is not paid, but it always is. Thank you.
I am sorry you are experiencing these issues. We would like to look into your account to see what error messages you are receiving. Please send an email with your account number or phone number to info@puretalkusa.com.

I find your rates are competitive and the service is mostly favorable. You need to include phone and text service to Canada. You need to have a lower rate option for seasonal users who want to keep their number active during months when actual usage is zero.

Voice ok. Data and mms has never worked reliably. All I have been told is remove the battery and reboot the phone in order to send an mms. Constant data interruptions. That is not right. The only good thing about the service is it's cheap. But you get what you pay for I guess.

Pure Talk USA is much cheaper than the industry giants but provides equally good reception. The customer service is great. I never had to wait a long time when I had a question. My questions were answered and my problems were addressed efficiently. I love not being on the contract and having the ability to change plan anytime.

I love it because when you say $45 cost that's what it is!! So many companies say that but then tack surcharges and fees then taxes. We have never lost service and you a very personable to talk to if you're having troubles. Now Pure TalkUSA just need to get there own jetpack for home internet at the same reasonable prices. Thanks to Pure Talk USA. I have recommended to many people. We have had you for many years and please don't change!

I am a long time customer of Pure TalkUSA. The company has been consistent with their service as well as technical support. I consider myself "technologically" challenged but their tech support staff has always been patient any time I have had an issue. The best part is that they are right here in the USA. I highly recommend their service.

This is a great service. Billing is simple and accurate. Customer support on the very few times I've been in contact is professional, accurate, and always friendly. I carry the phone primarily for safety if I need AAA or some other service, but am finding it quite convenient for business calls when I'm out and about. The only times my calls haven't gone through is when phone service in my area is down and only emergency calls are allowed through.

I'm not a frequent phone user and my plan is adequate for my needs generally. I don't get as many dropped calls as I've had with other carriers. I would say that the reception is just OK. I tend to use my phone more for its data and texting.

I came to PureTalk from Virgin Mobile years ago, when I got a $5 line for myself, after adding my daughter. The only issue I've had is waiting on hold and getting transferred around for data not working properly. Actually, my data has never worked on my phone since it was given to me free when you changed plans and upgraded me (from a cheaper plan). Would love to have data, but not worth trying to reach someone.

I am happy with the service. The only thing I need to talk to a rep about receiving files (pictures) from other cell phones. I get the file but it never opens up. I am wondering if something has to be turned on at your end.

Pure Talk has handled existing customers during the rollout of the new plans very poorly. The changes to the customer web portal are extremely frustrating, and existing customers were not notified as to when these changes would actually occur. We are unable to redistribute minutes to sublines on our family plan, and the customer service phone number was removed from the website as well. I feel like we were treated very poorly even though we have been loyal customer for several years. A discount offer or some other gesture of appreciation would have gone a long way towards maintaining that loyalty, instead of making things extremely frustrating. We were offered a discount for the new plans but not until after I complained. Your new plans do not save us money and we will be looking for a new carrier.
