I regret switching..

I switched to puretalk from straighttalk. Really wish I hadn't. There are times when I cant even make a call and text... I might recieve the text the day after it is sent. It's the same when I send one. I live i a rural area they said I would have service. I told them about it and they only said my phone wasn't set correctly. We'll, it's worse now than it was. I need a phone that works. Im disabled and do all my banking online and alot of doctor calls.

Hello, Gen! We understand the importance of reliable connectivity and sincerely apologize for the service issues you are experiencing. Because signal coverage can be impacted by environmental factors such as terrain and building density, we would like to help you troubleshoot your connection.

A representative will reach out to you directly for further investigation. Prior to their call, please ensure your device software is up to date via your Settings menu. Additionally, we suggest resetting your network settings using the guide available at puretalk.com/data.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Your feedback is valuable and helps us continuously improve our service. - M.S.

Displeased.

Im very dis pleased with this company right now. I ran out of data probably like 4 weeks ago, have had to go to libraries, stay with different family members just to be able to have wifi to even text friends. 20 gigabytes of data is alot..although when I paid my bill it should be resetting my data, no, these idiots decided to make it to where it only resets the 8th day of every month. Dont use this company, I'm very mad. My phone cant even see photos in Google messages because I have no data, screw off puretalk, you are literally horrible.

Hello! We are following up to see if the information we shared regarding your recent review was helpful.

We know that data limits can be a source of stress, and we hope the details provided about high-speed data, along with the steps to align your billing cycle with your schedule, have improved your experience.

If we’ve been able to address your concerns, we would greatly appreciate it if you could take a moment to update your review. Should you have any remaining questions, our team is here for you at 611 (from your PureTalk phone) or via our Contact Form at https://www.puretalk.com/contact. -M.S.

Hello! We are sincerely sorry to hear that you are experiencing some difficulties with your PureTalk service. We understand how important a consistent connection is, and we want to help clarify how your data usage works so you can stay connected.

Once the allotted high-speed data for your plan has been reached, your device will automatically transition to lower speeds of approximately 256kbps. This ensures you still have connectivity, though you may notice a difference in performance for data-heavy tasks.

Your high-speed data is scheduled to refresh on your billing date each month, provided the payment is processed successfully. Based on your account, your refresh date appears to be the 8th of each month. If this isn't the most convenient time for you, we can certainly help you adjust your billing date. Please feel free to contact our Customer Service team directly to make that change.

We truly value having you as a PureTalk customer and appreciate your patience. -M.S.

Pure Talk is awesome!

Dashawna and Colton were so patient and friendly with helping me set up my phone service. I love that I only had to wait a couple of minutes to talk to a live person unlike ATT where I always had to go through the annoying automated prompts and then wait 1-2 hours before talking to a live person. The plan and pricing is up front without added fees or taxes to the plan cost like ATT. I will be saving $60 per month with Pure Talk! Service is great so far!

Saving $60 a month is wonderful, and we are so happy to help you keep that money in your pocket while still providing the great service you deserve!

We will be sure to pass your compliments along to Dashawna and Colton. Thank you for choosing PureTalk! -M.S.

Moved two lines from another provider

Moved two lines from another provider. The process took less than an hour with both phones using the eSIM option (had to remove the existing SIM from the iPhone, Android allowed selection of the eSIM but still has the original card). Only trouble was with setup of the Visual Voucemail on the Android. This was easily resolved by contacting customer service. Had to reset Voicemail with wifi off on the phone and then go to settings in VM on the phone to enter the password and allow messages to transfer in.

● I was on hold via my land line being my Pure Talk phone did not work
● I held on over 3 hours on speaker phone...finally some lady answered and asked me did I have a iphone..I said no I prefer android.
● Without a word I was transfer to a Voice Mail
