    The people that helped me get switched over from my previous cell service were very knowledgeable and worked thru a problem very efficiently. The data speed and amount that I can send increased tremendously and the intermittent text issues went away. Highly recommend PureTalk. I have not had any issues with losing service or dropping data. Our previous carrier had very low limits on how much data we could transfer at one time.

    We Appreciate the price, but Disappointed in the weak signal at my hunting cabin in north Arkansas (Sharp County). Often no service there inside my cabin and must go outside to get a very weak signal. Overall, happy we switched. I would recommend Pure Talk if anyone is considering making a change.

    PureTalk has proven reliable in my rural area. While the bigger carriers work great in cities, coverage is often not good in non-urban places. My experience with customer service is that the representatives are helpful, friendly, and patient. My only quibble is that it’s not easy to update payment information, mainly because not even the customer can view the payment information on file. That’s great for security but not so great if you choose to not give your card a nickname when you first sign up. However, a friendly and helpful customer service rep helped me with that issue. My experience has been that the representatives are all friendly, helpful, and patient.

    Went from Mint Mobile to Pure Talk hoping to get better service. Definitely not better and actually worse. Once the phone is paid off, I plan to switch to a major carrier. Even simple Google searches take forever. This seems to happen no matter where I am. To make it worse, when I am in a major part of town, I still have no internet access or such slow service that it is practically non-existent.

    Came across PureTalk... Checked out their site and offers of service. Loved how everything read and the fact that it's an American based company. So I took the chance and switched carriers. Away from AT&T for the first time since they merged with the company that merged with the company that was Cingular Service and I am very happy I did.

    At first, I imagine due to the large interest many must have had like me to switch, getting thru over the phone was tough. In the sense that it took some significant holding time. Growing pains I'm sure but really no longer than it would sometimes take with AT&T but today, the hold was zero. The questions were answered immediately and thoroughly. Then the technical support switch over was also flawless and with zero wait time and both agents were super kind, knowledgeable and patient. I'm super happy I switched. I'm glad to see the growth in the company and above all I'm super happy with the service, call and data quality and the simplicity of the billing. I see a long relationship forming. Thanks to Melissa and Shante for today's call.

    I love that Pure Talk is American company and customer service people are in US. All but one person has been so wonderful and helpful. The only issue I’ve had is that Pure Talk uses the AT&T network and it is horrible! Dropped calls all the time, no service in Kansas City metro area. They really should change who they use for cell service. It’s hard to deal with so much connectivity issues. I’m sticking with them hoping they realize the necessity of providing reliable service. I learned that 3 of the 3 towers in KC are under maintenance or not working. That simply isn't feasible for most people, especially if one is doing business with their phone. I love that they support veterans, as veterans so need much more support. And of course the over one hundred dollars per month reduction of my cell bill (came from Verizon) is wonderful. I have two phones and watch and tablet and my bill is under one hundred dollars per month for all.

    I tried to transfer 2 cell lines and 1 landline to my new Pure Talk account. The landlines transferred relatively easily and quickly. The land line was totally screwed up by Pure Talk and after my land line provider transferred the number to Pure Talk they didn't do anything with it, and after a week sent it back to my land line. At that point I had lost my phone number completely. During this time (after the land line company had transferred the number) I had called Pure Talk and they claimed that they were still waiting to receive the number. Needless to say, customer service really had no clue what was happening but just shifted the blame to the land line company so that they were not responsible. I gave up and am having my land line forward to my cell phone using 3CX so I know which line is calling.

    Also, I have noticed that my data is slower than with my previous carrier, and when traveling I frequently can't get cellular data. I didn't expect that. I do have cell coverage pretty much everywhere, though often it is only one bar. Pricing is great! In conclusion, I would just say that the experience with Pure Talk has been less than I had hoped for, but the price makes it tolerable.

    To set up the phone took multiple phone calls and over three hours to activate my phone. Service is not good. Constantly losing signal. Apps not loading. They use Verizon network but for some reason Verizon is much better. The 20.00 a month in savings is not worth it. Will be switching back to T Mobile in the near future.

    I am in my mid 70’s. I had service with a big carrier for over 40 years. Switching companies was a big deal for me and I needed help. I went with PureTalk because it is a USA company, Veteran owned, advertised by Hannity, Clay and Buck both noting the great service. When I contacted PureTalk the salesperson asked what my needs were. I wasn’t sure but said I had unlimited for years and I needed a new phone. She told me to start with the least expensive plan and I could always upgrade. Within a month I needed to upgrade. I did upgrade and asked about the free phone. The PureTalk representative told me I didn’t qualify for the phone as that needed to be decided on initial call. I had been a customer less than 30 days. The salesperson did not explain or even mention that. I wrote a letter to CEO, Evan Sirlin. I received an email that I would not be eligible for the new phone. I feel stuck and disappointed.

I'm in a dead zone but I believed them when they told me we would have good coverage. Lies all lies. They told me they had international coveted lies all lies. Told me my husband would have good coverage on the road, lies, all lies. Don't waste your time signing up with Pure Talk, American values my hindend. Sure it's not as expensive but you can't make calls or you drop calls. No coverage means have fun calling in case of emergency. Stranded somewhere you may or may not have service to call for help. Your driving somewhere new and don't know where you are have fun figuring out where to go. What if? is the question.

    Customer service for the most part is good, apologetic up and down they understand your frustration. But that doesn't help. So we are stuck using this pure talk for the next 3 years because we just bought new phones. Hopefully nothing important happens because we won't have service regularly. By the way I was on the phone with them for over an hour talked to 5 different people. Still got nowhere. They told me I could switch providers.... But how am I supposed to do that crap out the money for the new phones, that's how. Oh sure they compensated use for 2 months so we don't have to pay for the service lol that we already don't get....

    Resolved, but not as easy as it should have been.

    Original Review: April 3, 2025

    I've been a PureTalk customer for about three years. The service was pretty decent. Now, my Mom wanted me to join a family plan with Verizon, which I hesitantly agreed to. I called PureTalk to run through the process. They said that I didn't need to close the account, and that would happen automatically once my number was ported. So, I attempted to port my number four days prior to my next PureTalk billing date. For some reason, it took longer. I thought PureTalk would prorate my bill once the number was ported. When I called to inquire, the rep kept saying if I was going to get a refund that it would show up in the next 24-48. But, PureTalk doesn't give refunds. So, I asked, should I be waiting for reimbursement or not?

    She said no, but when I further explained everything, she offered a ticket # to follow up on. When I called to check the status, I was given the same response (PureTalk doesn't give refunds). This would have been nice to know when I called upfront to inquire about the process. I'm not asking for a refund, just to prorate the service that I used (roughly one week). I would've felt good about coming back to PureTalk in the future or recommending them, but now I don't think so.

I haven’t had to use customer service beyond my initial service but it was very good at the time. Cost of the plans offered are better than most which is refreshing in this day and time.

    First, I want to compliment their customer service and technical employees, they were courteous, dedicated, and helpful. It stops there and the bottom falls out. Then sent my first phone which did not work and the tech determined the internal speaker was not working. Ordered a new phone and returned the first. It was returned to me stating it was damaged and no refund. Duh! That is why I returned it. The second phone didn't work either and after two hours of working with the tech using my wife's phone, we finally realized it was not going to work. I am out over $200.00 for phones and plan charges which is almost 10% of my Social Security and Vet's disability. I felt I should give them a chance and went without service for almost a month.

    When first inquiring about service, I was quoted a price with included phone insurance. I do not want or need phone insurance. While I applaud that rep's endeavors, I was not thrilled with how quickly she spoke. Had I not questioned her, I would be paying for a service that I do not want. Calling my previous carrier for a release code (or whatever it's called) was a painful experience.; 45 minutes on hold and multiple call transfers. This should be done by PureTalk personnel. After getting SIM cards, my phone could not receive pictures or access the internet. Following the enclosed instructions was useless, as I had no provision to provide an additional APN until a level 2 technician updated my IMEI.

As soon as they answered, call dropped and I had to start the process over. After another long wait, I find out that Puretalk no longer services Android 10 devices. No call or email or text to notify me, just dropped service. I went to Metro to sign up, as I need my phone for work. 18 min on hold with Puretalk again to let them know I was changing carriers. I was given my port out code, which I provided to Metro. Monday, I was able to make calls, but not receive them; nor could I receive text messages. As a home nurse, this really screwed up my day.

Not only did they make this incredibly stressful and difficult, but they will not refund me for the 15 days left I have already paid for, despite the fact that THEY were the ones to drop service to ME.

    We changed from Verizon to Pure Talk last November. We went into Verizon to pay off our phones and had the amount that was shown on our latest bill on hand. It came to $798.54, but when the Verizon employee was done on the computer, the payoff amount for the phones alone ended up being $896.83. That is a lot of taxes! The employee had no answer as we were paying over $240.00 a month for the basic service, we wanted out and paid it. The people at Pure Talk talked us through the problems that we went through next. Long story shortened; we ended up buying two new Samsung phones and had the help we needed from Pure Talk as we needed it.

    After 2 price increases by Verizon in 2024 alone, I finally got disgusted and started searching for a new carrier, found PureTalk and couldn't find any gimmicks on the website so I called and asked what the catch was. That was November of 2024, they sent me sim cards to replace the ones we had and we've been happy since, at half the price for the same service.

    We switched out family to PureTalk after more than a decade with one of the major providers -- and I wish we had switched over earlier. Transitioning our phones took a bit of technical work with one digital SMS card -- but once that was resolved, everything was up and running perfectly. We have the same level of coverage & call quality as we did before, but at a fraction of the price. And I can have custom levels of service for each member of my family, so the kids who rely on data a lot more than the parents are able to get the service they need. So for better service, we pay about half of what we were paying before. Thanks, Pure Talk!

    I switched here last month. Seemed fine until I reached 60 gb of data and my phone/data/internet flat out stopped working. “Unlimited” data is a complete lie. So I had to pay an extra $10 for THREE extra gigs of data to get me through the rest of the month and even that did not last with me making sure I only used the phone on WiFi after learning about the data issue. So now I’m at $70 for the month when I can likely get a plan with another carrier for LESS than $60/70 for data that is ACTUALLY UNLIMITED. To flat out lie to customers and say it’s unlimited is crazy! If it were unlimited we wouldn’t need even need an option to buy extra data. Other services do SLOW your speeds once you reach the cap, no completely cut off your internet connection. Switching out from this service as soon as my next billing cycle is about to end. Do not recommended.

    It's important to clarify that unlimited data plans often have limitations. Once you reach your allotted amount of high-speed data, the speed throttles to about 256kbps.

    On February 15, I called into customer service at 1 PM Pacific time and spoke to a customer representative by the name of Juan. The minute he picked up the phone and asked for my information I could tell he was already annoyed that made me feel uncomfortable wanting to continue to speak with him, but I did giving him a chance. After 30 minutes waiting to reach a customer representative, on the phone with him, the phone call dropped and he never called me back. Obviously, I tried calling back, but the weight was going to be as long as the first so I hung up. The issue I was trying to resolve is my Internet not connecting when I leave out of my home.

    Since this is going to be a nuisance, trying to figure out, I will probably switch back over to T-Mobile, which I never had this problem nor did it take as long for someone to pick up the phone and I never had anyone rude. Given that PureTalk is new I wanted to give them a chance however the customer service department needs more work. For already upset that her phone’s not working properly therefore they should be empathetic and at least sound like they want to help the customer service. Naturally when a phone call drops, we cannot get the same customer service representative so therefore they should call back! Wait time needs to be shortened. We are all busy and cannot wait 30 minutes or more each time we call with an issue. Needless to say, I will probably have to switch over to T-Mobile being that there’s just too many work that still needs to be changed within this new company until it’s changed. I will consider her switching back.

    I had switched from AT&T due to them raising the rate every couple of months, and I saw an ad in my AMAC magazine about PureTalk and being a veteran I investigated their service and pricing. After being with them for almost a year I had occasion to add my niece to my plan and they made it so easy when I called and added her and got her a new phone. The next month my wife came to me showing me her bill from AT&T at $91.83 and telling me that they had gone up several times in the last year, and since she already had the Iphone 12 all we had to do was just purchase the plan and activate.

    Since I now had three lines on my plan I wanted to be able to see how much each line was costing, so a very pleasant and knowledgeable lady named Carla told me how to enroll in the PureTalk web page and access any and all information about my account, she was so thorough that when she finished walking me through the web page I really will not have a need to call for service again, I can do everything I need online and it is so easy.

    Thanks to Miss Carla I am very happy with PureTalk and their service and I will recomend them to all my family and friends.

    We have had PureTalk for a little over a year and I have mixed feelings about the service. They boast about having service in eighty other countries.

Then we went to Germany, Austria and Hungary. Germany was on the list. I even paid for extra time. I could not send even a text unless it was to another iPhone through iMessage and I was on Wi-Fi. So despite Pure Talk advertising that included in your plan, you had service in those eighty other countries, I had very limited connectivity. So if you plan to travel and being connected via text or phone calls, Pure Talk is not for you. While home in the USA, I have reasonable connectivity.

    Original Review: What a mistake it was to try to move to PureTalk. A friend referred us. Picked 2 different plans (3G & 10G) was told during the setup process I would need to designate phones. Was incorrect. They assigned the phones to the wrong plan. The website tells you to use the last four of your SS# as the porting pin from your carrier which was also wrong. Then we sat in limbo with them all day. Talked to 3 people in porting but no one would give me a supervisor. They said there was nothing they could do but wait it out to get it corrected.

    Logging into my account is extremely difficult and redundant. It takes several attempts although I’ve input the correct info the platform freezes at every attempt, never able to get it on the first try, usually the fifth or sixth attempt and waiting for 20-30 minutes gets you into your account. The service is no AT&T which is what I left but at least you could log into your account with AT&T on first try. Internet isn’t as fast as I hoped or as AT&T but never had dropped calls with PureTalk so that’s a plus. I’ve memorized everything I need to from my account since switching just to avoid logging into my account with PureTalk. I have contemplated switching back to AT&T but remember they are crooks. So I guess this is the new way of life. Takeaways, internet is spotting at times, haven’t been to a location where I didn’t have phone service. So PureTalk is doing its job.

    I’ve been a Pure Talk customer for 5 or 6 years, have 4 lines, one of which is for my wife’s 93 year-old Mom. Using the cell phone became problematic for her, so we needed to use this box-thing I bought to hook up to a traditional desk phone (suitable for older people) and the genius is that I can just bluetooth the Pure Talk cell phone through to the desk phone. But the cell’s voice mail would kick in before the desk phone could record a message. Today I called Pure Talk to get help on turning off the voice mail for the cell phone, so that way the desk phone picks it up for mom instead. Sooo helpful. Got ‘er done!

    DO NOT move to this service. Once they port your number over to them they will not let you move it. We moved one of our phones over there to try it out and the reception was terrible. When we tried moving the number back to the other plan they will not let you move it. And when you call the customer service is terrible, I even had a representative hang up on me. So if your current phone number is important DO NOT move it to this company.

    For the past three days I have been trying to establish service with my phone number I wanted to bring with me to PureTalk. I didn't realize how difficult it was for PureTalk to accommodate this. While speaking with CS over three days and 72 minutes, with promises of their calling back if disconnected, and promises of having a supervisor call back, nothing was followed up on. There was a dropped call on 1/28/25 and again on 1/29/25 with no callback. There was a promise of a supervisor's return call on 1/27/25 which never happened. The TV commercials sound good, but there is no follow-up. I don't believe any new perspective customer should have to go through what I experienced.

    Puretalk has great service and fantastic customer support. But during the initial transfer to open my own line from my parents' phone plan, they couldn’t transfer over my phone number from their account. Was highly disappointed with getting a new phone number. I now have the new phone number and ABSOLUTELY HATE IT. The amount of spam calls I have with this number is so astronomical and pure talk does not offer any sort of spam blocking service like ATT or Verizon does. Highly, highly disappointed. Also so irritating to have your phone go off 5-10 times a day. I’ve tried everything. Registering the phone number on the don’t call list with the federal trade administration, robo killer app, nothing seems to work for this freaking number.

    But you get what you pay for! I went with pure talk because the phone plan and installments were cheaper and I felt like I got a good deal. But man the spam calls are so out of control and it makes me regret my decision. Moral of the story, pure talk should really do so something like their competition has for spam calls, whether it’s an app, or some sort of call blocking and monitoring. I’ve never experienced this much spam with another phone number I’ve had or with att my previous carrier.

    I was a previous customer of AT&T. PureTalk is significantly less expensive while giving you the exact same coverage. We were paying for data plans on AT&T that we were hardly using, so being able to trim that out was nice. The customer service team is also much friendlier and is based in the United States. We had a number of customer service issues with AT&T, so that alone justified the switch. My only complaint has been the coverage in this area specifically (Virginia Middle Peninsula), but AT&T’s network, which PureTalk uses, doesn’t have great coverage here and we knew that going in. Overall, I’m thrilled that we made the switch.

    I reached out to customer service before becoming a PureTalk user, and the operator that answered the phone was super nice, and answered my questions quickly and happily. When I signed up for PureTalk I talked to two more agents, the first wasn't able to help me fully, but she transferred me to a guy who was extremely patient and helped me get my phones switched over--even though I wasn't as prepared as I thought I was going to be going into the call. I think I spent over two hours on the phone, but he was super nice and didn't seem to mind one bit. He help me out greatly, and I would recommend this to anyone.

    So far my service has been great, I have a spotty signal a few times, but that was already to be expected due to the service area near me, and I have wifi to help cover for those instances. I also visited Canada recently and plan to return, later this year, as I was even able to have service while out of the country. It was such a blessing to have service once I crossed the border.

    My experience with PureTalk was horrible. I paid for and received a SIM card and followed the start up procedures to a tee, but my phone wouldn't work at all. I checked my settings which confirmed PureTalk was my carrier. I got so disgusted, I called their customer service to cancel the plan. The woman said she had to send me an e-mail with a passcode. No e-mail came through and it was not in my spam folder. I listened to her breathing for five minutes and still no e-mail. She was snotty and absolutely unhelpful. I told her "What am I supposed to do?" Her reply was wait for the e-mail. Are you kidding me?! I said all I wanted to do cancel the service, to which she replied I couldn't until I received the e-mail.

    I finally hung up and called back. I guess the guy was trying to be helpful, but after 45 minutes, it came down to I was paralyzed until they could e-mail me. Or, I could wait for my wife to get home so they could e-mail her.

    I was tired of paying AT&T $200 per month for mine and my daughter's phone. Getting started with the porting was a bit difficult. My daughter lives in Colorado and I live in Missouri. I made it clear to PureTalk that I was to be the account holder. In spite of this they sent both SIM cards to my daughter. She then had to mail mine to me. She told me she spent about 10 hours on the phone trying to get everything to work. Finally, she gave up and opened her own ATT account. Later Pure Talk sent me a new SIM card for my daughter.

    Granted, ATT was not very cooperative with the switch. I have had Pure Talk now for about 6 months and the service has been fine. Even after I paid ATT about $400. They continued for three months to charge me $75 per month. When I contacted them they said it was for my watch. I have not used the watch in a year or so. All they would refund was $85. I cancelled the watch service that was initially given to me for $10. per month. Also being a veteran they give me a 15% discount per month and they give a $50 credit for new referrals. Bottom line I refer people to Pure Talk and I think you will be satisfied. Hopefully this review will be helpfull.

    One week after receiving my new phone, the battery overheated and ruined the phone. I have called customer service at least 3 times, staying on the line for long periods of time. Nobody has helped me resolve this issue. Yet, at least 3 payments have been charged to my card. So, for one week's service I have made 3 payments and paid for a phone that is useless. I am a disabled 73 year old man on a fixed income. I left Trac Fone because I don't agree with their politics. But at least I had phone service, which I could need at any moment with my health issues. I have sent a notice to my credit card to cease future payments.

    Decent service for the most part, but absolutely no service in rural areas, to include my home. I’m hoping the coverage will eventually be extended to the areas outside of just the higher population and larger cities.

    Good mission with reasonable prices. I upgraded from an S20FE to an iPhone 15 from a third party and they helped me process everything. My iPhone did not work with the eSIM so I spent some time on the phone getting that worked out. It took me about an hour to get everything transferred from my old carrier (Patriot Mobile) and it was kinda frustrating getting transferred all over the place, but in the end it worked out. The hold times were pretty short thankfully, making this a much smoother experience (minus the constant transferring between departments).

    I bought a new phone (Iphone 13) from PureTalk I bought the unlimited talk text data plan. So apparently I only get 60 gigabytes of high speed data. I’m not happy with that. If I would’ve read the plan entirely (my big mistake) I would NOT have switched to PureTalk. I would have looked for another carrier. Now I’m stuck with PureTalk for a while due to how much I’m into them with the phone purchase. I spend almost eighty five dollars on a plan and phone that limits me from unlimited data. Yes I know it slows down but I still have data. Big whoopty doo, as slow as it goes I may as well not have any at all. I will be looking for another carrier after I get the phone price down some.

Boy am I glad I did. Mike says you'll save 50% off your current wireless bill. Well let me tell you it was WAY more than half. I was paying 188/mo with ATT for one line and a Samsung watch. I had unlimited data, talk and text. I looked at my typical data usage and went with your 10G plan. I now pay less than 45/month. A savings of a whopping 143 dollars a month! That's over 1700 a year! The service is better, I can talk to people that speak English and are ALWAYS super helpful, patient and polite.

There was one or two "bars" on the signal strength meter before, that hasn't changed. The phone would work on the Verizon system, but it won't work now.

However, when I veer from the vanilla, I get in trouble on their website. This started when I wanted to top off international roaming several months ago. The website, isn't easy to understand. After some grief, I figured out how to top off roaming.

    Now, I find I cannot log in and go to roaming because I keep being kicked off with some obscure error message. I have tried topping off on three different devices, using 4 different browsers: iPad, Android and an MS Win11. I tried the Google Chrome, MS Edge, Safari and Opera browsers. It's the same, I am blocked from topping off. I phoned for help and the assistant was as lost as I am.

    My experience with Pure Talk was great at first. Loved the price and service was great. However after I paid off my wife's phone and wanted to upgrade, I was told I had to go through Affirm to purchase her phone. I did that and the loan was approved and from the affirm site it stated awaiting merchant processing. I had requested FedEx 2 day shipping.

    After a week I called pure talk customer service (a royally pain to get through automated crap to talk to someone), they told me that they showed no order pending or being processed. I called affirm, they said all they show is that loan was approved and it was sent to pure talk, I needed to call them. I called pure talk again and after fighting the automated answering stuff an agen said that there is nothing they could do and they could not tell me why I was declined for their in house financing.

    This whole deal had infuriated me so I called ** and they were great at ordering my wife's replacement phone and transferring my number to their service. I had to call them several times to get my phone completely transferred due to PT taking over 2 days to release my number. I was able to get with ** tech services very easily and quickly.

We also offer financing through our trusted partner, Affirm, and you can apply with them at checkout once a device has been added to your cart. Alternatively, you can choose to pay the device in full.

    We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to improve. We value your business and hope to regain your trust. -C.H.

    I signed up with PureTalk after 14 years of coverage from Cricket Wireless because of the recommendation of Ben Shapiro and Matt Walsh on their podcasts, and because PureTalk was running a promotion where they offered a 1 year subscription to DailyWire+ if you signed up for a +$35 per month plan. I signed up for the plan and did not receive the promised membership. As a result of their false advertising, and their crappy customer service who refused to honor their promotion, I will be returning to Cricket Wireless. I don’t care to do business with dishonest companies who like to pull a good bait and switch.

    Thanks for your vote!

    Response from PureTalk

    Update 12/31/2024: Hello Nathan! We sincerely apologize for the experience you had with our promotional offer. We understand the frustration and inconvenience caused by the incorrect application of the discount.

    Instead of the expected Daily Wire promo, it appears the system applied a 50% off the first month of service discount. To rectify this, we have issued a one-time bill credit of $65.25 to your account. This credit will automatically apply to your next month of service.

    We value your business and appreciate your understanding. We are committed to improving our systems to prevent similar issues in the future.

    If you require further assistance, you may reach our Customer Service team directly at 1-877-820-7873. Alternatively, our Support Team is available using the Contact Form at https://www.puretalk.com/contact and on Facebook, Instagram, and X (Twitter) social media sites for live chat.

    Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we're committed to providing the best possible wireless experience. Thank you for choosing PureTalk and for sharing your experience. We look forward to continuing to serve you! -C.H.
