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.

Pros
  • Always dependable
Cons
  • Not so sure now
Preferred solution
My service fixed and apology!! Maybe free 30 days for all my time lost. I’ve been a customer for yrs!!!!

Payment function on website alerted me it was unable to process payment but it still took funds from my account three times

Payment function on site alerted me it could not accept payment but it charged my account three times. And I had to end up buying a Walmart plan

User's recommendation: Be careful.

My account was overdrawn because I had two charges for my straight talk auto pay on the first of the month instead of the 4th. I do have a new phone I'm trying to set up as soon as I canceled boost which is a piece of crap I'd be calling back to set up my new phone under straight talk
