Straight Talk Wireless - Straight Talk (Tracfone, Net10) Ripped Me Off and Claims Inability to Unlock Phones!
After several attempts to recoup losses from them ripping me off (Tried porting my number before end of service date (11-20-16), but Straight Talk (Tracfone, Net10) blocked the port), Straight Talk (Tracfone, Net10) tells me that the devices in my possession (The phones I bought back from my family to save them the hassles of dealing with Straight Talk), are no longer eligiblefor unlocking, as per their unlocking policy (Expiration dates on their dairy products!). Now, I've opened (Which invalidates saleability) of five (5) BRAND NEW, NEVER OPENED PHONES, just to find out that they aren't eligible for unlocking.
Now, I'm out evewn MORE money, and stuck with PRACTICALLY USELESS devices! I would donate them, but I;d hate for someone else to be subjected to Straight Talk's (Tracfone, Net10) thievery! Now, for anyone else having issues with Straight Talk, Tracfone or Net10, and having issues contacting them (As I had before filing a complaint), here are direct email addresses: ERDManagement@***.com CorporateOffice@***.com ...And a direct phone number: 305-715-**** What's humorous about this is, they sent me this information...after they tried to CALL THE NUMBER THAT THEY CANCELLED ON ME AND TRIED TO EXTORT MORE MONEY FROM ME FOR!!!
They left a voicemail at the aforementioned number. Makes you wonder who's working in their offices.
Reason of review: Poor customer service.
Monetary Loss: $450.
Preferred solution: Let the company propose a solution.
Straight Talk Wireless Pros: Coverage, Price.
Straight Talk Wireless Cons: Poor customer service, Billing practices, Thievery, Spitefulness, Unreachable.

They don't REALLY care that you have a problem with their service. Once they have your money, they couldn't care less about any issues you may have.
These crooks have been ripping everyone off with the same scams. Spread the word to EVERYONE you know, and ask them to do the same. #StraightTalkSUCKS #StraightTalkTHIEVERY #StraightTalkPIRATES...BTW...robot Maria won't help.
Just a form response which will give you the same response that you got from the customer service rep. Mariabot is just here to give the ILLUSION of caring.
You missed a few brands under the Tracfone umbrella:
Tracfone
Net10 Wireless
Straight Talk Wireless
SIMPLE Mobile
Telcel SafeLink Wireless Page Plus Total Wireless ...And they're ALL just as crooked as Tracfone.
