STRAIGHT TALK WIRELESS = NO GOOD
straight talk has by far the WORST customer service of any company I have dealt with in my entire life. they are completely incompetent and under-trained. they have also lied to me to get me off the phone. promising one thing, only to be disappointed. i have called about this particular issue FOUR (4) times and just checked my account to see that, again, i have been lied to and will have to call AGAIN for the fifth time. my issue is straight talk royally screwed up my phone transfer. story short, i ended up buying a year long service plan + a 30 day service plan + they gave me a free month for the huge mess up on their part. that means my service plan, with all the time added up, should expire 3/4/15. of course, since NO ONE at STRAIGHT TALK has any idea of what they are doing (they barely speak/understand English) i'll have to call in for the 5TH time. the last four times, i tell them they need to escalate the call to a real manager (they lie and say they are a manager -- dont believe them!). they assure my the dates are changed. i call them liars. again, they assure me. i usually have to submit to their incompetence cause by then i am just so frustrated. a couple days after each call, i log back into my account only to see the dates changed back! i am done trying to get what i paid for. STRAIGHT TALK IS HORRIBLE. DO NOT SWITCH TO THIS COMPANY.

Straight Talk Wireless Phone Service
Straight Talk Wireless in Tucker, Georgia - Iam still waiting for a replacement phone to be shipped its been a month with no phone and the minutes ive purchased for last month have been wasted due to tgis defective model they keep shipping.me
Iam still waiting for a replacement phone to be shipped its been a month with no phone and the minutes ive purchased for last month have been wasted due to tgis defective model they keep shipping me.The samsung centura is utterly useless the internal memmory is a joke it will completely black screen and shut down while ur in middle.of a call. Tech support is worse they give u wrong gurtful tips causing you to loose vaulable info and pics.Thephone at the time of purchase at walmart 189.99 it now retails for 99.00 and if u go online its even.cheaper 50.00.How can these people get away with ripping us offlike like this? All customer support does is transfer the ca over to someone else all the managers do is apologize and ship u the same *** phone. EVERY SINGLE PHONE IVW PURCHASED THRU THIS COMPANY HAS BEEN DEFECTIVE THAT WILL CHANGE SOON.

Straight Talk Wireless in Hagerman, Idaho - Straight talk tech assistance all foreign
I have had to call straight talk about numerous issues about their Samsung galaxy phone. My latest issue was about why this phone wouldn't send texts with links to websites, email addresses and phone numbers. I have to text all this in code or with words referring to the numbers or else the phone will not send these communications to another device. I'm pissed because I never get any answers because I cannot understand these operators. They speak crude English and all have strong accents. They don't understand me half the time. I never get anything done because my patience level isn't high enough to deal with these people. I usually blow up and end the call in total frustration. My phone still will not send these communications and I need to do this for my job for Christ sake!!!!! I will have to buy another phone. I know that is the only solution. I cannot speak to these people again. I would rather find another non-contract phone and service plan.

Straight Talk Wireless in Sulligent, Alabama - Replacement
Sent phone in for replacement and one month later received phone and it does not work. I have been with ST since 2009 and this is getting to be way more trouble. I switched from att and tmobile to ST to get worst service. I've ask for managers and get told there is none avaliable. I am about to just switch to different company if issue is not fixed within 24hours. I have spoke to many custimer service reps and none was really able to be honest or help with the matter. Had to ask for a supervusor multiple times to get one on the line. What is up wuth your customer service and tech support.

Straight Talk Wireless Sim Card
My phone died and would not charge after 4 months. They push you to prepay your minutes so I paid to the end of the year. Not only would Straight Talk not back the phone, neither would Samsung because it was a trak phone, (and I paid about $400. for it) but Walmart did...

Straight Talk Wireless in Indianapolis, Indiana - No back plate in their packaged phone
They refuse to send me one without me and/or their retailer bending over backwards. It's a 30 cent piece for goodness sake. I've called them and emailed them, all I get is '...we can't..' which really means '....we won't..'. They must have hundreds if not thousands of back plates available yet refuse to send me the one I paid for. Terrible service. To make such an easy fix soo complicated and involving more myself or their retailer to fix than they just doing it themselves and claiming responsibility for their product. They should be ashamed and change their ways.

Phone service is difficult to navigate and the help desk cannot do the simplest of task. The technician could not stop a credit card auto refill.
