Straight Talk Wireless - They're trying to charge me for something I shouldn't be getting charged for
They want me to pay them to remove their network from a phone. I bought and paid for that phone and I don't owe them a dime, so what gives them the right to hold my phone hostage until I paid him some more money. What in the heck is that crap, I have been a loyal...

Sucks horribly

1.4
first the clerk in store messed up my phone. I wish I had the foresight to test it before leaving. i get home it says no wireless network. hours on the phone and chat and ended up i needed my sin number to verify. as luck would have it you need to pry off the back then take out 10 screws. by this time customer service has closed my chat. crap thru and thru. if you want to waste your time and risk your phone leaving you stranded straight crap is your company

Foreign Customer Service

2.2
As long as you never need to call Customer Service, Straight Talk is ok. But, if you ever have any kind of problem,,,that is where the trouble starts. They do not speak good English and can only read a script, They waste your time repeating everything and cannot deviate. They are a Royal Pain!!!!!

User's recommendation: Get Verizon!

They took out my monthly payment the same day that they finally transferred my phone number. Now I have been trying to transferred my number since Tuesday of that same week. When I called them on Monday the very next day gave them my account number, they said I couldn't get a refund. I have to pay for just one day. I don't think so. After I talked to a live person he took care of transferred there was no problem there.

Overrestrictive Policy Enforcement - Unlocking Phones

I spend almost 2 hours today attemping to get a phone I purchased from Walmart unlocked using the Straight Talk network unlocked because I needed this done. However, I was hung up on, and told up the management chain they wouldn't unlock it since "it's there policy and they don't make exceptions"

User's recommendation: don't use this carrier or bring your own phone.

Asked for opinion

No they are the same Straight Talk and Verizon are the same.same operator's people that get your money and when your service dont work right and you call they laugh and go into the computer and do something to disturb the service all because you called with a complaint with your service.dont use straight talk or Verizon

User's recommendation: Dont use straight talk or Verizon for your cell phone service provider.

Terrible customer Support

1.6
Oh my, I just won't put down into print how many straight talk phones I have had to return back to Walmart this past couple weeks. I have had to purchase their most expensive phones to see if they could be activated and well...they couldn't. Too bad they had to be returned back as defective. Oh well, I'll keep trying!

User's recommendation: Return, return, return.
