Straight Talk Wireless - Terrible Company That Scams You Out of SIM Card - Image 3

I have a tragic tale to tell you folks about the company known as Straight Talk. For those of you that are not in the know, Straight Talk wants you to get a separate phone line so that way, it is "guaranteed" for them.

It matters not for this company, as this company wants to CHARGE YOU for the SIM CARD! Yes, you read this right, CHARGE YOU FOR THE SIM CARD!

I have chatted with two individuals (Customer Support) on resolving this, and the process ended up the same: "escalating this to their 'technical department'". I have ended up reviving my phone line for the dead for a chance to get my service up and running. That turned out to be a complete failure.

What I ended up doing is getting under my mother's plan (I know, not the best of options).

At least I am walking away from this a brand new iPhone 13 user. I already had enough experience from Google devices (Android phones/tablets) as it is.

Here is my PSA to you boys and girls:

* Make sure you have a new debit card planned at least two-three months BEFORE it expires.

* Make sure you already get billed with the ACTIVE CURRENT DEBIT CARD BEFORE you switch/activate your new debit card.

* Most importantly, make sure you get billed with the new debit card when you decide to switch over.

Unfortunately for me, my debit card already arrived MUCH LATER than I anticipated. Therefore, I couldn't get the account updated, and I had to suffer with a deactivated SIM CARD.

Please do yourself a favor, and never go with a company that decides to CHARGE you for a BRAND NEW SIM CARD.

These are professional thieves, and they are willing to steal money from your wallet!

My condolensces to those that are affected by this horrible company that is (now) part of Verizon's network. Make of it what you will.

Hello Maria! This is Steven Krieger, and I would like to say that I am canceling my Straight Talk account this month.

If this is the kind of service I am getting, what is the point of it? I had no problems receiving SIM Cards for no additional charge.

On top of that, I cannot find my account number without chatting to someone. This is not what I want from a phone company.

Techinal support. They have gave me the consist run around for 2 days now, my new phone still doesn't work

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I've been a really happy straight talk customer for 15+ years now. With that said, I have a Samsung note 9 that I need as my new phone.

I bought a new sim card as advised from talking to straight talk customer support. As soon as my new sim card came in the mail, I contacted techinal support to switch my straight talk number to my newer unlocked note 9. I've been on the phone for 2 evening in a row now and techinal support just gives up on getting my phone working(phone wont call out and i get "network not registered " message. They will have me go threw the common steps at first and then transfer me to a higher department to talk to another person in which I go threw the same steps with that person until it gets to the point where they tell me that they are gonna enter some information and I'll get a call back in 15 mins on my call back number.

So when I get the call back from them, it's someone different and we start the same steps over and over that I went threw when I first called to begin with, I explain this to them and let them continue to do their process and they act like they understand, and then after a few of the same steps I've already tried and tried and tried they will say the same thing about a call back or tell me turn m6 phone off for 15 mins and then it will work. This has happened 2 nights in a row now for 3 hours back and forth each night.

They close at 12pm. So tonight at 11:40 after talking with 3 different ppl they tell me turn off the phone for 15-20 mins and you will be able to call out(which i felt like was bs, and i even expressed that i keep getting told this over and over and that im borrowing the phone from my friend just to be able to talk to customer support to begin with.its been over an hiur and it doesnt work So I don't know what else to do now except try this review...and I've been polite with them and they lie to get me off the phone and never fix the issue

Straight Talk is HORRIBLE!!!!!! Corporate contact info

Straight Talk is Beyond Horrible!

After only 1 month, my phone stopped working. It would not recognize that I added the unlimted $45 card to it. The phone was purchased new from Walmart.

I called the customer DIS service department and they saw that their system did recognize that I did add minutes but my phone did not.

So, after spending LITERALLY 12 HOURS and 15 minutes on the phone with the Straight Talk customer DIS service department (that is what I call them now) over the course of approximatley 8-10 different phone calls... Still NOTHING was resolved. They gave me codes to put into my phone NUMEROUS times despite the fact that it didn't work the previous day that I talked to them and was told to do that.

So, as of today, I have not have ANY cell phone service for 18 days(almost 3 weeks). 3 Weeks that I paid for!

Straight Talk wanted me to send my phone back to them. So, they took 5 plus days to send me an airbill fed ex package so I could mail them my phone. I sent it on Thursday and it was received at Straight talk the next day.

So, I waited about a week and called them to see where my phone was... I was told 3 different things by 3 different people.. The best was by a supervisor who told me that I would have a new phone on my doorstep in 3 days. BUT, when I asked him if the phone was shipped from their warehouse, he said I DON"T KNOW! I asked him.. how can you tell me I will have my new phone in 3 days when you don't even know if it was shipped or not???? He could not understand this concept at all!!!!

He could not give me a tracking number .. b/c there was none!

BOTTOM LINE... I filed an online complaint with the Better Business Bureau www.bbb.org and within 24 hours I had the Better Business Bureau liason at Straight talk and she personally called me at my work number and walked to the warehouse and got a new phone herself changed my number to that phone, made sure it worked. She is also sending it to me OVERNIGHT.

She is in the Corporate Office in Miami, Florida.

I also asked that I get a month FREE for all the aggravation and she agreed to do that.

This is her contact info

Main phone 800 876 **** x 6175

or 305-715-**** x 6175

fax 305-715-****

Her name is Karen Calderon

email is kcalderon@***.com

She is the Better Business SPecialist with Trac Fone Wireless.. This is who is the parent company of Straight Talk and who you ultimately need to deal with if you have a problem with Straight Talk.

I am posting this b/c I am thoroughly disgusted with the way I was treated by the foreign customer service department who are like zombies reading from a script no matter what you say to them.

I hope this helps someone.

I have been a new customer for about 2 weeks with this same issue, everything you stated is true af and no matter what you do or say, each person have you do the same thing. My expensive phone 3 sim cards later my *** still not working.

I have no data usage when away from home and at home I have my own wifi. No MMS text messages can be sent or received individually or a group.

Can not send group text with or without a picture, and cannot send individual text messages as of today they call themselves working on my phone, the more they work the less I have. I have 2 straighttalk phones now and if they dont hurry and fix mine, these are straight up donated for emergency calls only.

SIM Cards not delivered & now lost???

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Straight Talk Wireless - SIM Cards not delivered & now lost???
Straight Talk Wireless - SIM Cards not delivered & now lost??? - Image 2

I ordered 2 SIM cards from Straight Talks website on Feb 6th with a 2 day air delivery shipping. It was promised by email that it would be delivered 1 to 3 business days after shipping date which was on Feb 7th.

It was first showing my package to be delivered on Feb 9th by 7 pm. The first time I tracked the package was on Feb 9th but it was after 7 pm before I did so. Confused I decided to check it again the next morning & only message for delivery status was "On the way" "processing at local facility". I continued to check everyday but it wasnt until Feb 14th the message for delivery status changed to "information not available"!

I tried contacting Straight Talk through the online chat & after explaining everything was told I would need to callin which is crazy considering I dont have an active phone due to not having been delivered the 2 SIM cards. I was able to call on Feb 16th & once I finally reached a live rep, she kept asking me for a phone number or IMEI number to locate account. I tried explaining several "6" times that I had no number nor did I have a device saved to my account & if she could locate by email or Order # it would be more helpful. She then begin arguing & proceeded to ask me how was she suppose to locate my account with no phone number or IMEI number!

I explained to her that I did not know that I wasn't the one who worked for Straight Talk that she was so that something an employee should know how to do. I asked for her to let me speak with a supervisor or anyone that might know how to locate my account without that info. She then wanted to argue about why did I need a supervisor & she needs a phone number to locate my account! I asked at minimum 6 times i believe to be transferred to a supervisor & when she proceeded to keep arguing I stated I was going to hang up & call back to see if I could get a different rep with more experience than her.

I was calling Straight Talk back when my phone rang & it was her again still asking me for my phone number or IMEI number to locate my account! While I received a discounted rate for the SIM cards totaling to $2.12, the amount of money doesn't matter so much as the principle of the issue! I was argued with, given no information on what to do about my package, not 1 rep volunteered to help me in the process other than my brother! My next step is to file a claim so it will be investigated & hopefully bring resolution to this matter.

All I really want are my SIM cards & better training for the reps that work at Straight Talk!

I will accept a refund but for me to be a completely satisfied customer then the $$ alone will not be enough! They are going to have to offer cash $$ or discounted rates for items specifically made for my brand cell phone at the time of purchase!

On July 27,2023 I called in to unlock my phone and go to another carrier and after unlocking the device with the codes I received; this device I learned was Blacklisted by someone in your company. I called back in and was told that I would have to purchase a new sim and pay for service!

I followed those instructions and found myself still without service! So my account was escalated to the port department and I was given a ticket number and was told that the issue would b resolved in 72hrs! Never happened, so I called back in was told I needed to contact Verizon wireless to have the blacklist removed so I called got both carriers on the phone and Verizon stated this was on TracFone end! So I called in 10 more times and each time a different story until today!

I called in and was told to remove my sim you guys asked me pay 11.00 again and the phone worked for 12min minutes and service went back out! I called in again and was told on the billing side my account was clean far as the blacklist but the FCC has not responded or removed the blacklist requested by your company! I have filed a formal complaint against your company and want my device removed from the blacklist! I am currently traveling as a United States Marine and I need my device to contact my family!

I am over seas working and can't purchase another device and you can't ship me one while deployed!

This is the only means I can connect with family while on tour! I beg you to please address this issue!

Updated by user Feb 16, 2024

Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with apology. Filed a report with BBB and when BBB sent them my complaint, they was eager to give me back my money.

I had all the proof I needed Straight Talk needs to get their employees better training. They should have never took that money out of my account.

Thanks for allowing me to use this site as a sounding board. I would advise anyone that is experiencing this type of issue to contact PISSED Consumer and then file a complaint with BBB.

Original review Feb 01, 2024
This experience was a disaster I was given the run around by several associates and the last associate claimed he was a manager in the refund department and he refused to refund money that they had removed from my account after auto pay was shut off. Also told me to get my bank involved to do a "Charge Back" because he was not refunding my money.

Hahaha too funny Maria at Straight Talk wants to speak with me about my experience but doesn't give me a direct line to her? So therefore another run around with "customer service" who has not been helpful at all.

No I will not contact customer service Maria. If you want me to speak with you directly, then give me a direct number.

Unfortunately Maria, I have already filed a complaint with BBB. I have had it up to my neck with Straight Talk and you trying to act all concerned without leaving me the ability to speak with you directly just confirms that Straight Talk has no accountability for their behavior and the way they treat people.

You should have filed a dispute with your bank as their rep told you to. The BBB is useless and can’t enforce anything. All they will do is forward your complaint on and theY will ignore it or reply it was a legit payment.

My phone has been disconnected

Sometimes when I make payment from my App it does not register on the main platform or whatever it's called. So it would as through my payment was not made even though I have auto-pay. A slight hiccup that was quickly corrected.

Horrible customer service that hangs up on customers!!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Straight Talk Wireless - Horrible customer service that hangs up on customers!!

I have had to call straight talk multiple times during my 2 months of service. They hung up on me between 3 and 9 times each time I called!

And that was EVERY time I called. I wasnt being rude or anything either. I had one customer service person walk me through filling out a satisfaction survey while I was on the phone with him. He even told me the review I should write out for him!

None of the people talked understandable English, and didnt seem to understand me when I was talking! I have never experienced such horrible service. I refilled my service on October 5th from a refill card and on the 7th my service was interrupted because I needed to refill my service! I had to find another phone each time to call!

I dont have a landline or another phone to use for that kind of situation. So I called, got hung up on 2 times, and then someone finally got my refill completed. Their data runs out horribly fast and I got sick of buying extra data as well. The extra data ran out in less than 5 days and I wasnt even streaming or anything!

I tried to use their 611611 number to buy another data plan and refill plan, I also tried to buy the autopsy option. Their service wouldnt even take me to their website when it said to complete my request online. When I did it online it said to use the 611621 text number. Just kept sending me around in circles, like their customer service people.

I asked to speak to supervisor during most of my calls and was told they dont have supervisors! This company is the worst ever!!
