Customer Service
Straight talk has taken over 8 months to process a 400 dollar return to me. There customer service is horrible and they very seldom have a clue of what is going on. I am transferred 3-5 times for every I make to them, not to mention the hours I spend on hold. What ever you do, do not do business with this company. You get what you pay for, it is as simple as that!

Harrassing phone calls
I have received multiple phone calls from the Indian call centers that Straight Talk wireless employs complaining about my data usage even though its very low(2.44MB received and 745.55KB sent) and for some reason they continuously call me to tell me that it is excessive even though I can only buy the unlimited plan because I have there most expensive phone that is a smart phone so it requires the 45 dollar a month UNLIMITED PLAN so then why do I keep getting harassed by them about my data usage I don't get it have spent the last three days on the phone with people that have no idea what I'm saying because there grasp of the English language is very limited. I was originally told that 2 or 3 GB was the average data usage for Straight Talk customers, my data usage is not even near that yet they keep harassing me someone please help with some suggestions on how to make them stop would love to sue them for false advertisement.

ripoff
bought a high end straight talk phone and 45 dollar card. Tried to port my att number and it failed because I was from another state.
DHS laws they said. They activated my card, failed to port my number, refused to make good on the card.
The card expired 30 days after the failed port. CUstomer service investigation came back with just activated on X expired on X.
Couldnt have used the card...their wasnt a phone number on the phone...so the phone had minutes but not provisioned and I suffer for it.
Anyone want to buy an S451c? cheap! This company sucks...I kept att and got my wife and I both Iphones. Love'em!
You get what you pay for...I say we starve this rotten egg until they wither and die. Straight Talk is a lie!!!

Phone Stopped working
I just bought another 6 month unlimited card, second time. reactivated 2/22/11, which made the phone good until Aug. 25th, 2011. My new service pin # is 199 591 157 063 670. I had great service for the first 6 months, but today 2/24/2011, my phone has frozen up! This is my only communication. I have no landline. I bought the the phone at Walmart in June of 2010. I paid by credit card 270.00 for this 6 month plan. I would like to have it put back on my credit card or I will have it disputed with my credit card company. My email address is [email protected]. My home address is 5481 S. Sycamore Ave. Springfield, Mo. 65810
My husband passed away 6/9/10, and this is why I got the phone, to save money. Please contact me as soon as possible by email, as my phone is frozen up.
Thank you;
Janna Currier

Phone
Where do I start? I bought the phone because I had a contract with AT&T and the cost was too high. The adds for straight talk say that it's nationwide with no roaming ever. WOW I thought and since it's at Wal-Mart and Wal-Mart is everywhere I shouldn't have any issues. I was dead wrong. First, the start up process was ridiculous I tried the online method and that wasn't too clear. When I called from a friends phone they told me that I had to call from the phone I was attempting to register? Seriously? If I could call I would. Then they told me that my number could take up to seven days to switch over to my new phone. They left that part out at the store as well as many other things. I was very happy to find out that my number did indeed switch over from ATT to straight talk hours later (bonus). I did experience a lot of dropped calls with this phone (LG290 )and I initially bought a $30.00 plan and found out that their is no warning as it clearly states online that your plan is low; It just shuts off. I didn't have any major issues with the phone until I decided to take a trip out of town. I went out of town with the expectation that my phone would be fully operational after checking the coverage map. I was wrong. I was unable to make or receive calls or text. So I went to the local Wal-Mart and located my LG290 phone and asked about coverage in the area. The employee stated that they have the phone and coverage works in the area just fine. They gave me the number to customer service and I contacted them.. I was given the tech and she actually had the nerve to tell me that if I went back home I could use my phone... WHAT KIND OF SERVICE IS THIS!. I asked to speak with the supervisor. She explained to me that since I transferred my number from ATT to straighttalk I was on an ATT tower. I questioned why straighttalk does not have their own tower? The lady stated that they rent from ATT, Verizon, and T-Mobile. That's all news to me; I told her and asked why my phone does not work again. She stated that no tower for ATT is in the area. My response was that I had ATT for nine years prior to switching and never had a problem prior in that area. She could not answer that. I asked for the return policy and the only thing that she could come up with and I took as a threat is that returning my phone would result in the loss of my phone number of 9 years.

customer service
Ordered a Cell phone on line but never got an invoice email confirmation or confirmation page. I just sent me back to the home page. I checked my bank account on line but not charge was made. Naturally I decided to call the support phone number and got one of the most awkward, blundering, inept, stuttering, ungraceful, void of any customer service skills what so ever female that kept asking me the same information repeatedly and getting it wrong. She would constantly thank me every time I gave her any info. It was beyond reasonable. Then she would put me on hold and thank me. She asked me what information I enter on the website. I don't even know what that means unless she's never seen what an on line order form looks like. She passed me off to a "supervisor" who asked me the same questions but only half as many times. They put me on hold so I got to enjoy their hold music which was so loud, that it
was distorted, I had to hold the phone away from my face about 6 inches. The "supervisor" then told me they have NO record of this purchase and will need to use a "special tool" to find out. At this point I was over it and kind of made my decision about Straight Talk. These people have no business being in customer service!

Customer Service policies
Straight Talk is an interesting beast of a company to deal with. My main reason to consider switching from Verizon to them was to save money, and since I'm not very demanding of my cell service, I wasn't too concerned if their customer service wasn't the best. I use cell service for phone calls, and a couple text messages a month. My mistake was trying to port my Verizon number to them. To do this, you fill out a simple online form at straighttalk.com, and give them the phone number you want to port, the name of the current provider, a password/PIN to access the account, and a separate contact phone number for them to reach you with any questions. Straight Talk then started to port my separate _contact_ number, which is my primary business number, and it was disconnected. When customers called my business number, they got a "This number has been disconnected, and is no longer in service" message. Not good for business!! It took 3 very long and painful days to resolve this, thanks primarily to the plant manager of the local CenturyLink office, who provides my business number - he spent 2 hours with me on the phone with Straight Talk tech support before he was able to get them to release the number. On numerous occasions, I requested compensation for the error. I patiently worked my way up through the ranks, thru their 'Tier 2 tech support', then to a supervisor, and I was told that there is no compensation. One rep told me that the best I could hope for would be a few days of credit. I've logged over 6 hours on the phone with them so far. I am still waiting for them to delete my business number from my Straight Talk cell phone account, and get me a new number, so the saga isn't over yet!

Poor Customer Service
This letter is to complain about service I recently received from a Straight Talk Wireless.
I called Straight Talk on 1/4/2011 to find out how to deal with a problem I’ve had with activating a new phone purchased from the Straight Talk website. I had purchased two phones at the same time. One phone I had no issue with activating online.
I had an issue with activation the LG620G with the serial number 012 114 003 635 641. The order number for the original purchase is 45152635(Web Order # 3495977). After I had been on hold for several minutes the representative came on the line. I had to explain my problem to her several times because she did not seem to be listening and therefore asked me the same questions repeatedly. I was told that even though I had already created an account online that they were unable to find my account.
The representative put me on hold for several minutes as well as several times, and then returned providing a ticket number stating they would need to send a new sim card, since they were unable to activate the phone, and when it did provide a number it was the wrong area code, although I provided the correct zip code . The zip code is 23434 which require a 757 number. The representative first tried to argue with me stating that Straight talk does not cover this area. I kept explaining that I had already activated one phone with no problem with and received a 757 area code phone number. Needless to say, I was quite frustrated; however I agreed to wait for the new sim card and was given a ticket number of 102 686 1607. At this time our phone was not activated and we had not been able to use the $30 service card with the pin number of 100 971 039 566 929. I was advised that the service date would be extended and we would not lose our minutes.
So a few days go by and we receive the new sim card for the LG620G with the serial number 012 114 003 635 641. I placed another call on 1/6/2011. The new sim card is 890 141 032 136 950 320 52. I called the 1-877-430-2355 number again. Once again the representative put me on hold for several minutes as well as several times and constantly repeated the same questions. In the end of a 30 minute phone call I was provided another ticket number (102 696 9913) with the representative stating that the phone or sim card kept getting an error, even though when asked no explanation for the error was given. I was told to wait 24 hrs in order to call back for a resolution.
I called back again on 1/8/2011 to check on the progress with ticket number 102 696 9913) and again the representative put me on hold for several minutes as well as several times and constantly repeated the same questions. Once again I was told there was an error with the sim card. At this point I become very upset and requested to a supervisor. I spoke with the floor supervisor Jennifer. The same routine was repeated, again the supervisor put me on hold for several minutes as well as several times and constantly repeated the same questions. I was once again given yet another ticket number. This time the ticket number is 102 701 7358. At this point I very unhappy, very upset and ticked off that my hard earned money is being wasted and feel very doubtful that it takes this long to resolve a technical error. I was advised it would take 24hrs to resolve this time.
On 1/9/2011, I called back to check on the issue with ticket number 102 701 7358. I was advised that it would take up to 48 hr to resolve the issue. Needless to say I am not happy.
On 1/11/2011, I once again called to check on ticket number 102 701 7358. I was placed on hold on and off for over an hour while the representative constantly put me hold, over apologized and still no closer to resolving the issue. I was then transfer to tech support manager that stated they had to send an email and would call me back once they have a response, which should only take a few minutes. At this time it has been almost two hours.
I expected a much higher level of service from your company, and I am quite disappointed. I do not want to spend any more time on this problem, and I requesting a proper resolution for this issue. I have spent the last 10 years in customer service, the 4 which have been with the Navy. I would never give my customers the level of unsatisfactory customer service that I have been repeatley given.
