Hello, Orson! We're here to help! Here are some steps you can take to address common concerns with your phone's battery and voicemail.
If your phone's battery is draining quickly, try these tips to extend its life:1. The Battery Saver feature can significantly reduce power consumption. You'll usually find it in Settings > Battery > Battery Saver.
2. High temperatures can cause your battery to drain faster. Avoid leaving your phone in direct sunlight or hot environments.
3. Ensure your phone is running the latest software. Updates often include optimizations that improve battery performance.
4. Many apps continue to use power even when you're not actively using them. Check your settings to limit background activity for apps that aren't essential.
You can often resolve voicemail issues by resetting it through your PureTalk online portal. Simply log in at https://www.puretalk.com/account/login and select the Plan tab. For visual voicemail, please contact our Customer Service department. You can dial 611 directly from your PureTalk phone or call us at 1-877-820-7873.

I was finally able to get my service changed from Pure Talk to **. I was having nothing but problems and found their customer service to be extremely poor. I expected the switch to take place Wednesday morning but they said Pure Talk had a "Port" delay and it would switch around 6 - 7 pm. It didn't happen so the next morning I spoke with someone at Pure Talk but was giving a lot of BS and told to be patient. I called again this morning (Friday) and was given the same garbage. After 20 minutes of getting nowhere I called ** and they got it switched in about 10 minutes. Beware of Pure Talk, they advertise great customer service but I found it to be awful over the 3+ years I had them when I needed help.

Here is why: BANDS.. these bands provide your service, and the better the band ie. a $100/mo. AT&T plan will provide you with a high speed top of the tier BAND, while a $20/mo plan will get you the most congested and low power BAND prone to leaving these users disapointed with poor service during peak daily traffic, but if you don't use internet and occasionally make calls, a cheap plan like these will suffice.

I joined Pure Talk on the idea that an American Company would treat us better... NOT TRUE. It's more expensive, unless you choose low data then they slow your phone down to an unusable data speed!

Every time I am on the phone with someone, either they can't hear me or vice versa. When someone calls me and I pick up, the phone shows that it's picked up, but it keeps ringing. On the magical occasion that I can hear the other person on the other line, it only lasts for a couple minutes before one of us can't hear the other. I frequently drop calls in the middle of conversations. When people call me, it won't even ring, but it will go straight to voicemail, even when I have full service. When I try to call people, it won't ring, but will just be in limbo for 45 seconds until it hangs up, even with full bars. My phone will tell me I have no service when I have full bars. Receiving text messages are delayed by hours sometimes. Receiving voicemails are delayed by hours sometimes.
I called in and after troubleshooting, was told to go through insurance. Insurance said to go to Samsung. Samsung said to get it checked out, so I did. They tell me it's a Sim card issue.

We started with Pure Talk a month ago and for the most part it has been good. We had some set up issues but the technical people were good to work with. The main issue we have is the less than 10 people in a group text, this is a deal breaker for us. We have multiple group texts with at least 14 people. It is very frustrating to get only some of the responses. We called tech 3 times before the last guy finally told us that Pure Talk is not capable of handling 10 or more people on a text group. For this reason, we are looking for a new carrier. Wish I would have known this before switching.

PureTalk is completely incompetent. I called two weeks ago to ask if I could add my son to our plan by purchasing an Apple Watch for him. For those that don't know, Apple has the option to set up a watch for a child who does not have a phone so they can get their own phone number, call their parent and others as needed, but the parent still has full control on who is able to contact the child, content the child is exposed to, etc. I was told that yes, I could purchase an Apple Watch and set it up for my son through PureTalk's network this call took about 30 minutes, not bad, but keep reading.
I purchased an Apple Watch from PureTalk's website. When I called to set it up, the person I talked to was very confused and did not know that Apple Watches could be set up for children and have a separate number. She acted like I was an idiot. It took me guiding her to the Apple website and about an hour of hold time before she understood that I did know what I was talking about, only to be told that PureTalk can not offer this service, even though I called to verify before purchase and was told that they do. (If you're interested, search "Apple Watch for Kids" and scroll to the bottom of the Apple website. There is a list of carriers who do allow you to set up an Apple Watch this way for your kids, PureTalk is NOT one of them.)
I asked my husband if he would like to keep the watch rather than me having to go through the hassle of returning it, he said yes. It did not pair correctly with his iPhone (also purchased through PureTalk prior to all this), and though I paid for the $10 plan TWICE it still would not connect. I did get a refund after calling (and spending another 20-30 minutes on the phone) and was assured the cell service on the watch would start to work soon. Spoiler alert: it did not.
The next day I spent TWO HOURS on the phone with tech support to get the watch to work, I got charged and (hopefully) refunded more times than I can count for the $10/month service plan. It finally started working (the guy in tech support was very helpful and patient, so I can't say anything negative about him, it's just their crappy system that wasn't working).
Four days later, I received an email saying that I had an order out for delivery from PureTalk. I thought it might be a fluke in the system and didn't expect to receive anything... until FedEx showed up with another Apple Watch. I am not dishonest, so I called them to let them know what was going on (my first mistake, good deeds never go unpunished, or so I've heard). First, they said they had charged me twice because I ordered 2 watches, but I told them my bank statement only had one charge. Then they couldn't find anything and were confused. Then I got hung up on after about 30 minutes. So I called back and talked to someone else.
After another hour they said that I set up the wrong Apple Watch to my husband's phone. The one I received second was the correct one, and I had to set it up AGAIN. My husband wasn't home, so I couldn't do it. At this point, I'm tired of all of this so asked if I could just keep the watch at a discount due to all the trouble and the fact that it was their mistake, but was told no. If I want to keep it, I have to pay full price. Keep in mind, at this point, my husband has been wearing the "wrong" watch for a week now. The one he has been wearing (and sweating in... gross) is the one they want me to send back. I'm sure they will sell it as "new" because they have no options for used ones, but it's not new. So if you buy an Apple Watch from them, you can pay full price for my husband's sweaty used one, fully believing it's brand new, I guess. I 100% could have just not said a word, kept the watch and they would have never known. But that's wrong.
So let's recap. At this point in the game I have spent a total of almost 6 hours on the phone with PureTalk about this stupid Apple Watch that I ordered from them, that wouldn't work for the original purpose I was told it would, then was difficult to get to work with their system on two devices purchased from them, then they messed up, sent me two and I have to spend probably another 2 hours on the phone with them to get the other one set up, not to mention I have to spend the time, energy, and car gas to take the one my husband has been wearing for a week to a drop off location or they'll charge me for it, even though they obviously didn't miss it too much and didn't even know until I told them.
I didn't ask for it for free (though I totally could have had it for free) I just asked if they would let me buy it at a discount due to all of the hassle they have caused, (about $50 off is all and I'd be giving them $10 more a month with a plan!) but no. I'm looking at other providers; this is ridiculous. Yep PureTalk, you lost a customer you've had for over 5 years, who never missed a payment for $50.

I moved to PureTalk because it isn't some giant left-wing corporation. They also let me speak to a live human faster than most. They also hire and support veterans. Those are the pluses; here are the minuses: They partner with AT&T for coverage. I left AT&T for Verizon because AT&T's coverage in my area is usually horrible, while Verizon's was great. Now I'm back to horrible. Voice is usually fine, but data coverage can be effectively zero, e.g. last week when it didn't work at all for the ENTIRE week. They claim to offer VisualVoicemail, but if you dig, you realize that's only guaranteed to work on an iPhone; Android users' mileage may vary. My dad and I are among the variances. It absolutely doesn't work, and I've called twice about it. Tech support confirmed we're just out of luck.
They don't offer rollover data. C'mon! Two weeks ago, I noticed I was getting close to my data limit, so went on the website to buy another Gigabyte. My money is missing from my bank account, but I never got an emailed or texted receipt, and don't see any history of my purchase reflected on their website. I was close to the end of the billing cycle, though, and already they DON'T ROLLOVER DATA, so I didn't bother contacting the company. Still, as far as I'm concerned, PureTalk owes me $10.
They don't combine all data into one. This is another reason I left AT&T for Verizon - AT&T distinguishes between hotspot data and any other kind. So does PureTalk. WHY? Data is data, and it shouldn't make any difference to nor be any business of my carrier how I want to use it. Ultimately, I go back to the primary positive - PureTalk isn't a left-wing, America-hating company, and I genuinely WANT them to succeed. But there is a LOT of room for improvement.

We've been AirTouch/Verizon customers (former employees) for over 30 years. Transition to Pure Talk was easy, the reps were very polite, knowledgeable and helpful in completing process, however, we are very old school and not happy that we have no choice in how we pay for service. Don't like being forced into a digital process, otherwise very happy with service and cost. Would really like to see PAID invoices on the website, monies that are being auto deducted should show as being credited...not as Balance Due statements.
Hello, Thomas and Deborah! While we appreciate your positive feedback regarding our service and customer support, we understand the need for more diverse payment options. For customers who choose not to enroll in Autopay, we offer the option to submit payments via check to PO Box 2840, Covington, GA 30015.

Ok I don't leave feedback reviews ever. This time is different. My experience has been uneventful. I don't interact with customer service, because there hasn't been a need to. And I think that's the point. I can't tell a single difference with the quality of service with what I have now and what I did with Verizon. I felt they were an excellent service because I never had to think about service. So My feelings are that PureTalk is as good at not having you think about service as Verizon is but at more than half the cost.

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.

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 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 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.

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.
Hello, Susan! We understand your disappointment that our service didn't meet your expectations.

So far, I've been quite happy with Pure Talk. I recently traveled into NV and flew down to Phoenix, AZ and in locations where I would expect to have coverage (not everywhere because parts of NV are quite remote), I had coverage. The next test will be a driving and camping trip through ID, UT and northern AZ. I know I won't have coverage everywhere, but I am hoping I will have coverage where I would expect to have coverage. I have recommended to family to consider Pure Talk. Primarily because a conservative company with conservative values, much better pricing than Verizon (which most of us have), and seeming to have adequate coverage where I would expect to have it.

If I could give it -1 I would. So 2ish years ago I was told we would have great coverage. Well that's not the case. 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....

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.

If someone can address this that would be appreciated.

The phone continuously gets alerts that I can't turn off. I assume this is due to an agreement with PureTalk which is why you can offer a lower price, at the expense of constant alerts. But this is not worth it for me. I wish you would have at least been honest in telling customers about this. My phone is constantly filled with alerts and it can't be used for business purposes. I was considering getting multiple phone lines using PureTalk for my business, but not anymore and I will likely cancel the current plan at some point. Unless the alerts can be removed.
Hello, Keith! We understand your frustration with the persistent alerts you're experiencing on your phone. We want to clarify that these alerts are not generated by PureTalk. It appears that the device, or a specific application installed on it, may be responsible for these notifications.
Based on this information, we cannot directly remove these notifications from the device. We recommend contacting the manufacturer of your Blu G53 device for assistance in disabling these alerts.
We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. We value your business and understand that constant alerts can be disruptive, especially for business purposes.

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. However, now that the hurdles have been jumped I cannot complain. I am paying less than half of what I used to pay.

On Sunday afternoon my phone service with Puretalk stopped working. I called customer service. 11 minutes on hold waiting for an agent. 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.
I went to Metro to resolve issue, only to find out Puretalk was holding me captive. 45 minutes and 3 dropped calls later, I was finally released. I will NEVER go back to Puretalk. 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.

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.

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. This is from an 80 year old mostly self taught on the computer, and their web page is so easy now that Miss Carla has had the patience to walk me through the entire page. Alphonso Mobile, Alabama

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. I haven't been impressed at all with that aspect of the service. In Ecuador there was no service at all, and they were not on the list. So that was expected. 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. The cost for their plan to include 3 lines is 1/3 what it cost us at Verizon. And customer service is such a hassle, I gave up.

Updated on 02/25/2025: I had to file a dispute with Amex to get my fee back from Pure Talk. Although you read their response, I had no service with them and the relationship was < 24 hours, they did not refund the charge for service that was never delivered.
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. Worst experience with these mistakes but the poor service was worse. 24 hours later cancelled before ever having service. Guess paying more with who I'm with just became worth it.
Hello, DC! We sincerely apologize for the experience you had while trying to switch to PureTalk. We understand your disappointment, especially after a friend's recommendation, and we appreciate you bringing these issues to our attention.
It sounds like multiple errors occurred during your setup process, from incorrect plan assignments to inaccurate porting information. We regret the inconvenience and time you lost dealing with these problems. We also deeply regret that you were unable to speak with a supervisor and that our porting team was unable to resolve the issues promptly. This is certainly not the level of service we aim to provide.
We understand your decision to cancel your service and return to your previous provider. We value all feedback as it helps us identify areas where we need to improve. We will be reviewing our internal processes, including plan assignments, porting procedures, and customer service protocols, to prevent similar situations from happening again.
We confirm the account has been cancelled and your refund is processing. If approved, the refund should be posted to your original payment method within 5-7 business days. We hope you may try PureTalk again in the future if we can better suit your wireless needs. Thank you for sharing your experience. -C.H.

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.

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.

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.
Hello, Sarah! Thank you for sharing your feedback on your experience with PureTalk.
We understand your frustration with the initial number transfer issue and the high volume of spam calls you're experiencing with your new phone number. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the initial transfer difficulties.
We value your feedback regarding spam calls. We understand the frustration they cause and acknowledge the importance of effective spam call mitigation measures.
We do not have any spam-blocking services at this time, but we are cooperating with the FCC in their measures to combat spam calls. There may be third-party apps that could help you block unwanted calls. As we do not provide or endorse any particular application, we would be unable to guarantee its functionality or troubleshoot issues that may occur from its use. We also recommend registering your phone number on the National Do Not Call Registry here: https://www.donotcall.gov/
If you'd like to change your phone number, please log into your Account Portal > select the Plan tab > select Change Phone Number. Each phone number change will incur a $10 fee. However, due to the spam calls you have received, we're happy to apply a bill credit to your account as a one-time courtesy. If you have any additional questions, please contact our Customer Service team at 1-877-820-7873. -C.H.

The quality of their service is top notch. My coverage is every bit as good as it was with Verizon. Their tech division knows what they are talking about. I am paying way less than I was with V. Make the switch. You will not regret it.

I switched from Tracfone to PureTalk to get better customer service. I like my new phone and service, but was surprised when I was notified with a low data warning in Dec. I've never had that before and I'm concerned that I can't have my mobile data on all the time because of it. So I'll see how this goes and if I stay with Puretalk. Thanks for listening.

Puretalk service was great close or in a metropolitan area. In the woods, it worked good for phone calls but not well for internet. I was caught in the Helene destruction in Tennessee, lost all cell service with Verizon so I got on with Puretalk, which uses the AT&T network. My phone has two eSims, so I wound up with Puretalk on one and AT&T on the other. Same phone service on both eSims, but using data to access the internet in the woods on Puretalk was consistently half the speed of the AT&T data. I do recommend Puretalk for the price and good service, but I went with a family plan on AT&T.
Hello, Ronnie! Thank you for sharing your feedback on your experience with PureTalk.
We appreciate your honest assessment of our service. We understand that coverage can vary depending on location, and we strive to provide the best possible service on the AT&T network.

I have had PureTalk for nearly 5 yrs now. I recently bought an upgrade phone for $230 + tax, shipped right to my door. I switched because I had had it with ATT! Now I pay $35 per month for a bigger data plan & everything I had with the other company. I've called Customer service any number of times & never had a bad experience. When my hubby retires, he's switching too!

Your internet is the worst ever! Multiple problems. Numerous issues with the internet. Numerous arguments with your support people. Never a resolution. What else can I say? It’s always a hassle talking to customer service. I’m considering going back to T-Mobile, it’s that bad. I have to talk to at least 5 representatives a day when I call with a problem.

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.
