*** service

1.2
Daily, sometimes multiple times, my network connection just stops connecting. 611611 help 5 y 1 other solves an issue every time. Lasts a little bit, disconnects, pop solved an issue again! Customer service India is a *** joke, so thats nothing new. They have no idea about the product or plans beyond a script. Just garbage all around.

User's recommendation: Check out googlefi or visible.

SERVICE SUCKS!!!! DO NOT FOR ANY REASON WASTE YOUR MONEY WITH STRAIGHT TALK! Initially good service, not great but good. Now I can't even get signal at my residence

1.1
At one time I had 4 bars of service in my home, now I can't even make a call from home.Straight talk service is basically NONEXISTENT, keep getting notices that my phone is not registered on a network even when I have 4 bars.....which is RARE in itself.

User's recommendation: Avoid Straight talk at all cost!

Okay now I've added minutes last night on my phone and they did not go through so therefore I cannot make any calls or anything I'm on Wi-Fi but I cannot get this straightened out until I get to another phone and have to stay on the phone which will probably be later and they'll be closed !! I'm supposed to receive phone calls from my lawyer concerning my nanny and my aunt's death okay so this is very important to me this is what I'm talking about they didn't have the phone I bet you they don't have it registered I don't understand this and I really am upset about this this is very important

My data disappeared

1.1
For one I love how all of them are supervisors none of them speak English. They always tell you they don't have that information in front of me . Never once have I ever gotten anything resolved by straight talk. Or they just hang up all the time when they don't know the answer

User's recommendation: Don't get straight talk.

I’ve been w straight talk for years n was once a satisfied customer. But the last two years has been horrible! I went from a automatic refill customer to lesser bill to now a lower plan. Tonight Ive

1.4
STonight Ive tried over 2 hours to send a message that still hasnt gone out. 611611 said my APN was fine, text SPEED or LTE, I dont wish to text them every time Before I message out. Instead Id like to send my message out!!! I cant port out to another carrier in my area because theyre both AT&;;;;;;;amp;T sub contractors. I brought my own phone and number to straight talk. I couldnt even port over to Family mobile or simply mobile. It my # and they are holding me HOSTAGE. If I want to sit on it, its MINE !!!

User's recommendation: Shop elsewhere.

We are deeply sorry to hear about the charge made in your bank account and for all the trouble you have encountered with our customer service and in porting out your phone number. The provider will send a request to Straight Talk to release the number. Straight Talk will then process the request. It may take a few minutes to a few hours however it may take up to 24-48 hrs.

Allow us to straighten things out with you. For further assistance, please chat with us using this link http://bit.ly/2CuBvXO or contact our customer care at 1-877-430-2355.
