I would never bend over backwards to help you out either. Maybe you should just use a different phone service.

Phone off

3.5
I had my refills set up on auto refills, to find when I needed my phone service the most it was off for no reason or explanation of why it was off. Very disappointed!

User's recommendation: May wake up an not have service for no reason.

Service is the worse

I purchase unlimited international and now all of a sudden I can't get a call through or even better I have limited minutes but I purchased UNLIMITED :( I spend more time on the phone WAITING for someone in customer service telling me to turn off the phone turn it back on and try again. I am so so done with this crap service

User's recommendation: DO NOT waste time and money on this service.

User's recommendation: Do not get a phone from them, just because its cheap their service is cheap too. So disappointmented.

CUSTOMER SERVICE

2.2
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO GET A LIVE PERSON ON THE PHONE. ALL PHONE NUMBERS ARE AUTOMATED AND DO NOT ALLOW YOU TO TALK TO ANYONE.

User's recommendation: DON'T EVER USE STRAIGHT TALK !!!!!!!!

Upset with the tricky page when purchasing a plan

1.0
Tricky page that asks if you want to add the plan at your service end date or add it now. Just bad business. If you mistakenly don't manually select that you want to add it at the service end date it will add it instantly and you will loose the days of service that you have left.

User's recommendation: buy card to add plan or pay close attention to this if using website to purchase next plan, Customer service will not help if you mess up.

I have been a straight talk customer for years with little issue until the last year. Sketchy service. Calls get dropped even in town. Paying $60+ a month for nothing.

User's recommendation: Find another company.

Need phone unlocked to use another carrier

I needed my phone unlocked I have lost my 29 year old daughter to a car accident recently and had alot of expenses which were worth every penny I bought this Samsung galaxy A 21 a few months I had to start getting help from the government in this time of need I need to switch carriers where I can recieve free minutes til I can get back to work And I don't have 126 dollars to have my service with yal unlocked on my phone I have my 2 grandchildren living with me with no phone if there a as emergency and no way for jobs to call me to hire me S

User's recommendation: Don't buy a phone unless you read there fine print and that's why its called fine print where you can't or don't read it where they can rip off in a nice way.
