Terrible Services. No resolution to my services

1.0
No resolution.phone not working cannot speak with a live agent. Messaging is not working correctly. Ive asked for a phone replacement because my phone is still under warranty. Dates are wrong on texting with straight talk. No resolution to any of my problems. Was told that you only sell the plans and you are not knowledgeable of the phone. Phone plan is locked in for a year and even through you cant solve the issue customer are not allowed to change carrier. Therefore customer are stuck with not resolution and pissed poor services

User's recommendation: Get away from this company.

He asked 10 different questions ,!!, after his questions were answered by me, he continued too repeat his questioning. Finally 20 minutes later, the trick questions proceeded too test my intellect. At witch point, I continued too ask for their mailing address, as he continued too evade me . I , me, myself can look elsewhere.

Update by user Mar 16, 2021

Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with full refund.

Update by user Mar 16, 2021

I received my refund, then received a letter stating that they were upgrading their home service and the home phone box I just purchased not a year ago will no longer work.This complaint has been resolved.I NO LONGER HAVE HOME PHONE SERVICE THROUGH THEM.

Update by user Feb 10, 2021

A lot of wasted time with the representatives.

Original review posted by user Feb 09, 2021
I received a receipt from Straight talk saying that they had refilled my service through auto refill. I do not have auto refill, I do not have a credit card listed for auto refill, I do not have the home phone box listed on my account, nor do I have any payments listed on my account. I called to be reimbursed for the money, was hung up on by 2 representatives and 1 representative that would only ask questions but would never answer, how they were able to charge me when I DO NOT HAVE AUTO REFILL, I DO NOT HAVE A CREDIT CARD LISTED FOR AUTO REFILL BUT THEY ARE ABLE JUST TO TAKE SOMEONES MONEY. Well, after a while of dealing with him, he finally transferred me to someone else, that I was just hung up on because I had asked the same questions and telling them I wanted my money back. I want my money back and I want these questions answered. I went on my account and printed out everything, no payment list from Sept. 1, 2020 to Feb. 9, 2021, no credit card information is listed for auto refill, no home phone box that I purchased from Straight talk is listed as being on my account or listed as being active with auto refill. So apparently, using my credit card to purchase the home phone box, they kept the information for themselves to use and charge as they please. I want a refund of my monies to my credit card account.

User's recommendation: FIND ANOTHER COMPANY, THEIR PANTS HAVE GOTTEN TO BIG.
