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.

Always need someone else's phone and waste countless hours repeatedly calling customer service before a problem is ever fixed. They sure do get your money though.

Problems w phone are to difficult to solve. Pay for hotspot but suddenly gone...2 weeks. Tired of calling just want to get rid of them.

User's recommendation: Pick another carrier.

They yake your money but when you have a problem and need help nobody want to help you,you get the runaround and charged more

1.0
Tired of spending my money and can't get service because the customer service is trained to give you the runaround till you give up and go somewhere else

User's recommendation: Don't do it.

I'm minutes away from pulling out of switching to straight talk. I've been waiting 35 hours now

I purchased a straight talk phone from Walmart 3 days ago. I've been trying to switch from Verizon to straight talk because Verizon service has dropped at my house suddenly and for weeks now. I gave straight talk all the info needed and have checked on the status and their still in the process for over 35 hours now

Bad phone service and internet service

2.8
Got a new 5G cell and moved to Crenshaw County, Luverne, AL from Elmore County, Titus, AL. Been a customer for a while. Worked with customer service because cell service and internet is trouble. I can hear anyone that calls clearly, but no one can seem to hear me without me breaking up badly. Worked with customer service several times and nothing has changed. I'm on auto payment and had to pre-pay a month just to get a new sim card for the new phone. I have one free month coming, but planning on moving to Verizon to get better service! Not happy with Straight Talk!

My phone isn't working because my Sim card magically "expired"

3.7
Sim card expired with no notice....stopped receiving calls and texts....was then told I had to buy a .99 CENT SIM CARD TO UPGRADE MY PHONE. But that would take several days, all the while without a phone, OR, I could go to Walmart and buy a card....at Walmart I was informed I had to buy a "package" that cost $45.....after doing that, I spent the next 1.5 hours in the parking lot talking to IT and finally had a working phone again.....only to lose ability to text and call again a few days later
