WARNING STRAIGHT TALK BY WALMART: My phone number with this provider was stolen twice in 1.5 years. My web account was hacked into and numerical information was inserted. THIS IS NOT A SECURE PROVIDER. If you need help, forget Walmart or the online chat. THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT OR GET YOUR PHONE NUMBER BACK. I spent well over 3 hours trying to troubleshoot the problem. They even worked with Verizon. They told me there was nothing more they could do for me. This is my honest feedback as a consumer and I have an information technology degree. Pay a little more and go with another provider. It's not worth the savings. Both occurrences happened in my home town in my own home. Protect your data if you use this provider.
I have been using straight talk for 7 years now and have never had any problems. I also live in Montana and am often out in the mountains. I rarely hit dead spots unless I'm really out there. I hate spending a ton of money for internet and cable so I get the 65 dollar unlimited plan and get between 197-203 G of streaming to my TV at high speeds every month. You can't beat it!
I've been using straight talk for many years with no problems with service. Customer service can be hard to understand with foreign accents but other than that they have been great too. Awesome service and you can bring your own phone.
Ive been with straight talk for a long time now like years I was doing the 45 one but now I always go for the 55 one with unlimited data and so far hasnt let me down once also side note I bought a sensa lte huawei for like 45 bucks and that phone was literally indestructible like no case for 3 years I dropped in on cement on the ground on my face in the toilet you name it the metal had broken and the glass it never broke I did lose it and had recently bought another one which is an lg stylo it has a built in pen thing and I am not displeased its cheap fits the budget
Straight talk service and customer service is terrible. Someone told me they had it and happy with service. I took a chance getting it and internet goes in and out alot. Reminds me of dial up when waiting for page to load. When needing to get a hold of someone, have to fight through recording or ai. Don't even get full month service, get shorted up to couple days. Unless they improve it, I would not recommend it.
Yep. Switching from T mobile on my iPhone 12 to the AT&T compatible card in the 45/month plan. Tried it on a burner phone for a little bit and it's working way better than t mobile.
That in itself is a scam. With the $35 play you pay for 5GB of data only they dictate how you will use the data for which you paid. It used not to be this way.
4:30 What ill do in that case is just to ask the rep to generate a case number so when you call back you don't have to repeat your issue again to the new agent
I have had straight talk since 2013 and I swear by it. I never have issues with service no matter where I go. My boyfriend has T-mobile and does have issues with his where we are.
Check out Visible... you might want to reconsider that statement after. With visible you get TRUE Unlimited HIGH speed data with hotspot for 40$ a month...
Want some information... look up StraightTalk and the 40 million dollar lawsuit of 2012... They to this day have yet to change and are most likely headed for another lawsuit especially because of the resent hotspot blunder and the continued falsifications. The best info anyone can ever give you about StraightTalk is to avoid them its also the best advice. 4GLTE will never reach 4GLTE you can youtube multiple people doing speed tests to confirm this factor. They also have the worst customer service in all of Durkadurkastan. My rule of thumb is if the call service isnt in the US then its a scam and best to avoid. 60$ a month and you get 60GB of 3GLTE (4G does not exist with ShitTalk) after streaming and downloading some games, basically after you use up that 60GB limit cap you are dethrottled down to something simular to 2G speeds. You also now get 10GB of hotspot even though before you used to get 60GB of data to do with what you wanted if you wanted to use it as hotspot you could... now you can't.
I quit Straighttalk and now have Cricket and couldn't be happier. It's faster and better in every way except the phone choice suck. No problem, just get an LG (Nib) from a few years back and no $29.99 upgrade fee. Byop
I pay $60 (65 gigs) a month and tbh, it’s not that great for me personally. Straight Talk worked decently for me the last several years, and although I never had more than 2 bars showing on my phone when I was at home, it was okay; however, this past year something happened: My LTE service constantly cuts out several times a day, every day. Maybe the Verizon towers are overpowering the signal or whatever but I’m looking to make a change. Oh, customer service is easily contacted through the chat option on the web or through the app, but God forbid you need to speak to them over the phone because all of the reps sound like they’re on the other side of the world and have what I think are thick Indian accents which are hard to understand for an American like me. It can be a frustrating experience.
Same thing happened to me. I used to have great service at home and then a little over a year ago my svc went to crap. Just got a 5g phone and my svc at home is better.
I've used Straight Talk for a few years and it works great but the customer service does suck. On 3 different occasions because our auto billing payment didn't take out a payment although the money was there. When you call to get it corrected you end up talking to Peggy in Trashcanistan or someplace and their accent is so strong you can't understand them. Very frustrating.
10yr customer and stopped using them because they scammed me. I returned a $350 phone for warranty and they returned a $40 phone and said that's what I sent them. My phone was only 6 days old. And don't even try to explain to those India customer service. Done !!!
I was seriously thinking about getting a straight Talk phone.. but if it's one thing I can't take ... is bad customer service 😳... so I'm going to look for something else.
I was a customer for a long time. When I tried to change my number, my phone stopped working and wouldn't make or receive calls. I talked to 7 customer service agents and none of them got my phone fixed. I was without service for OVER 36 HOURS so I called and canceled my service and went to AT&T. I had half of a month of my service left and wanted them to refund me the money that they owed me. The refund guy was very rude and told me that I would have to call my bank to get my money back.
Definitely the worst customer service ever. They even let someone else activate a phone using my active number and I'm the third person that I know who had this happen to them. When I called wanting to know why my number wasn't working they told me it wasn't connected to my phone but someone else's. They wanted to give me a different number but I refused and told them to give the person they just gave my number to another number. It took me days of talking to several people to get it straightened out. I told them I don't understand how they can give someone else an active number. I'm looking around for a different option because now the only thing I get at my house is wifi no service where I can actually make or receive calls or text. #fedup
They have free cellphone services. I had a cell phone service years ago that was free but sold higher end phones to go along with the free service. I give close to two hundred for a higher end phone and three months later they cut off my services. I called and got the runaround by a very rude lady. I never got my service turned back on. It happened on new years day. It was happy rude new years to me. 😕
IT'S BEEN 4 MONTHS AND THEY CAN'T TRANSFER MY BROTHERS BROKEN J7 TO EITHER OF 2 NEW J7s! EVERY TIME WE HIT CUSTOMER SERVICE WE HAD TO START THE CONVERSATION OVER. THEY ALSO CALLED US LIARS LOL THEY REPEATEDLY SAID THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING STRAIGHT TALK AND HAVE A NICE DAY.... WITHOUT HIM HAVING ANY SERVICE ON ANY OF THE 3 PHONES! THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THEY'VE PUT HIM BACK ONTO HIS SHATTERED SCREEN J7! YOU NAME IT WE GOT IT THEY CAN'T DO IT LOL
Go with Visible see if they can help you... Cheaper and better too. Actual unlimited HIGHspeed data with hotspot for 40$ a month and because its thru VZW they use their own nodes with priority over all the 3rd party piggybacking swine like StraightTalk.
I've worked at Walmarts electronics section for about 2 years now. Walmart employee are not allowed to set up straight talk phone. It's actually against walmarts policy if they do. Some walmarts are more strict than others on that policy.
@@BIG_FETUS As I have stated. Walmart has a policy against it. Straight Talk is a self service, it is not a walmart employees job to set up your phone. If an employee is doing it for you they are not liable for any issues, and you have to get assistance from Straight Talk, or get a refund from walmart and try again. With that being said Walmart is only allowed to refund the PHONE not the service cards as the are NONREFUNDABLE. Walmart employees are not trained, nor payed to set up your phone. They are simply doing it to be nice, risking there job in some Walmarts to do so.
If your going to use straight talk I would just buy the cards to refill, endless headaches right now with the auto fill and when you try to buy something of their site transactions fail than three days later your bank is telling you that you purchased 3 plans and instead of stacking your airtime or whatever you want to call it they tell you you will need to get ahold of another department to do that or get refunded, simple things straight talk still hasn’t figured out so be careful
Straight talk is ok during busy hours your speed drop. obviously any provider speed drop during peek hours but as straight talk borrows verizon or at&t towers your speeds are not prioritized. I used them for two years but moved on to a bigger cell provider and my speeds are much faster. Just my experience everyone else is different.
I was a Straighttalk customer for 8 years until they false advertising a phone as new on their website. I received a refurbished phone. I called and complained about it an hour later someone from Straight Talk without my authorization changed my number in retaliation for my complaint about not getting a new phone. Stay far away from this company. It's also extremely difficult to get a new phone replacement if it's under warranty they are all con artists not from USA.
I had Straight talk services on four phones for 3 years the 4G LTE speed was more like 2G speeds most of the time the telephone talk service was ok, I had a combination of Verizon server T-Mobile server AT&t server, one of the phones that was on the Verizon server there at the last the LTE would keep falling out and I would only have 3G when I left straight talk I tried to get my phone unlocked but I had had for over a year and a half no show no go straight talk is not going to give your phone to you after you have paid for it...... Straight talk really needs to do something because this new service is coming up like T-Mobile and Visible will put them out of business, 2021 everyone should have unlimited plus hotspot this is ridiculous Straight talk should be ashamed of their self.......
Ive been using Straight Talk several years. Customer Service is very lacking, and that is my only beef with the company. Not only bad but many reps are very difficult to understand. Its not that i have issues with foreign languages, i self study other lamguages and enjoy using the languages I do know. But, when you can barely hear your service rep talking with an accent you dont recognize, plus they are barely audible most everytime ive had to use one. Gets a little exhaustive. Currently im in need of replacing my cell phone i currently use, so I am shopping for a deal lol, but then arent we all? My phone is one i had then bought the transfer kit Straight Talk sells which is fairly priced, especially when you dont want or need to buy another phone when you decide to switch to Straight Talk.
At this point after the merger with Verizon Straighttalk is garbage.. the customer service reps barely speak English, all of today august 27, 2022 when I try to make a call the phone doesn’t ring I just keep getting a message telling me that the wireless customer I have called cannot be reached at this time and to please try my call again later. This even happens when I try calling a landline phone. After 15 tries I finally got through to a person on their 611 number this person told me they were doing maintenance on their network and that they expect the problem to be fixed in 2 hours. That was at 4:00 this afternoon. It’s 10:45 now and the problem is still there. I actually got to speak to another person at 611 and they told me that they were NOT doing maintenance.. I have NEVER had more than two bars of signal strength and so it takes a few minutes for web pages to load, with this new issue of not being able to make calls and the customer service reps LYING their service IS GARBAGE…. I’m SO glad that I NEVER signed up for auto refill……
WHY! even 55$ plan is not worth it and way over priced for what it is and what you TRULY get. Check out Visible its 40$ a month for truly unlimited HIGH SPEED data with hotspot included. Plus if you use your old device you get 100$ back after 2 months, its like getting 2 months free plus some pocket change OH and the 1st month is only 25$ Best fckn deal i have ever seen!
First cell phone I got at Walmart straight talk didn’t work n I lost over $50 on the card I try to use for it now I’m Leary bout trying their phones it was brand new n issues just getting it to work
The $55 unlimited plan IS NOT unlimited. I went over 250 gb and they shut my internet off but allowed me to keep my actual phone and text msg on. THERE is a cap on the data use and im super furious at their false advertising that im probably going to switch to Cricket or some other carrier
My service went out today 18 days before my plan is up. They told me too bad and I get no refund plus stuck with a phone I can only use for WiFi. It's a rip off for people who buy their faulty phones. Wonderful if you win the straight talk phone lotto. I've had this issue happen 3 times over the years. Never again.
I bought a refill card at waltmart and wasn't scan properly (i was told) so it didnt work, waltmart wouldn't give me another card or a refund straight talk wouldn't do anything either so i was out $45 plus tax ,Nobody takes responsibility when they screw up, we'll switch to a real company not that their any better.
So far ST's $55 monthly plan with absolutely unlimited data ($45 plan is limited to 25GB then 2G speeds) including unlimited hotspot is the cheapest and most reliable service plan out there
Not true. I was with Metro a couple years ago and unlimited plans were still $50 and up. They had lower tier plans at that time, but now the lowest plan you can get is $40 for 10gb. $25 unlimited *promotion* rn is if you are purchasing 4 lines which will be $100 total. Not $25 for a single person.
Do you receive any paper bills in the mail from having an automatic renewal on your payments? I’d prefer nothing coming in the mail is why I ask, also I’d like to use straight talk for an iPad 6th gen, can I do that?
my son has straight talk(thanks to buying his i phone at walmart) but he also has Sprint wireless cell service. why would he need both?, i think he is overpaying by having both,! (thanks so much if you can answer!)
So what you are saying is the 35 dollar plan is basically the same as the 45 dollar plan only difference is the data has something to do with it and to use wifi more wherever it is available is what I got from that unless I am way off
Why am I getting so many robocalls and how is it straight talk knows what applications I'm using and not using how much access to my phone do they have
I dont know too much about hot spots, as I'm normally in an area with Wifi. I'd do more research on it if I were you. But as a phone plan, I would highly recommend Straight Talk for data, call and texts!
Prabably Metro PCS. I had unlimited hotspot but the catch is... you HAVE to pay the perpaid bill every month or else they will still charge you if your phone is off. Makes no damn sense to me
Wouldnt recommend to any one. Check out Visible its unlimited uncapped HIGHSPEED data with hotspot included, all for 40$ a month... and the 1st month only costs 25$, also if you buy a new device from Visible you get 200$ back after 2 months... 100$ back if you use your old device.
Do any of Straight Talk phones have wifi calling? I had Straight talk for many years and I loved it but where I live there is no cell service so I had to switch to metro pcs cause their phones have wifi calling. I would like to go back to Straight Talk. I like the samsung A50 but was wondering if it has the wifi calling setting or do u know if any other straighttalk phones have it?
I use an Android phone I never use up all my mobile data I'm not even signed into Wi-Fi I have no troubles with my phone except for Wi-Fi wants to charge me $54 a month so I don't sign in it should come free with the service I think if you need to talk to a rep use text messaging don't call text messaging is pretty much instant
I will pay Verizon for the customer service alone.the customer service with Walmart's plan serms to be a headache. The call center has a script and tell the customer to hit random numbers and then hang up.the customer is supposed to give up at that point.that sounds ridiculous
@@memyself1176 Every cellphone service depend on your location. You can’t compare a strangers experience in a unknown city, to your city’s service. 30 day trial. Visual voicemail doesn’t work with android phones, but there is a workaround with Google voice.
My experience is I live in a rural area and only Straighttalk and Verizon work where I live. I chose ST because it’s just cheaper, same quality for me. But again this is just my experience.
I personally think they should shut straight talk down I mean it's the law once you have a device for 45 days they're supposed to unlock it and you're supposed to be able to use it on a different network if you wish.... and then when you do go to a different network they will not Port your number they are totally illegal they are they should be shut down..... My advice is don't get involved with them you're wasting your time and money.....their data speeds are the slowest in the country they claim 4g but it's more like 2G......
I used straighttalk for 8 years. But left because of poor services and I couldn't get picture texts to download at all... So I switch over to Google fi. I may not have unlimited data, but I get full service
I HATE straight talk phone service! I have been a loyal customer for 20 years, always had great service until 10 months ago? In my line of work I depend on GPS, I enjoy watching videos etc, but several days out of every month I don't have service, its like they just cut my service off? There's never an explanation, no refunds and even though I go to my local Walmart to buy my service, whenever I call 611 im talking to agents in Ukraine? It honestly feels like I'm getting ripped off, I've got 14 days left ill be iso another service provider.
How does the $30/month flip phone plan compare to Total Wireless $25/mo. flip phone plan? That's what I'd like to know. (for a relative). They both have the same Alcatel model phone, which seems decent esp w the FM radio.
I purchased the $29.00 Straight Phone flip phone yesterday. Today I spent time (to no avail) getting the phone registered and loading $30.00 phone time. I could not get the phone to connect to the network, even with customer service helping. Turns out the cell towers (according to customer service) are not able to connect with the phone. Sad thing is, my wife, daughter and grandson have no problem with connecting with the cell tower. I live in Indianapolis, Indiana which means cell phone signals should be great. My daughter returned the phone to Walmart. I'm out the $30.00 I spent for cell time. About five years ago I had the same thing happen with T-Mobile and their cell towers were five mile (as the crow flies) where I was living at the time. Needless to say I will never again buy Straight Talk or T-Mobile. In short their service is absolute garbage.
What's funny is.. all the prepaid phones are more expensive in Walmart than postpaid phones they sell on Verizon. That phone on Verizon is 200 ... The Moto e6 is like 18 bucks on Verizon. So really.. post paid through Walmart is cheaper when it comes to phones
Hi I would like to know my dad old phone it broke but he set up to pay automatic and straight talk charge money from his account every month but he cannot used his phone so he for get his password too if I not pay for service more than 1months the service plan for his old phone everything it going cancer or not could you please answer to me thank you
Well they beat me Phone service just stop working don't know why they could not tell me why Just had got a New phone for nothing soi had to get another phone and service
My phone on ST sucks I have betwee a tiny speck to 3 bars on avg. Data is even worse. Ican barely play pokemo go. Havent even trie streaming. And I am using the 45$/ 25Gb plan card.
No. And they have comments turned off on RUclips for a reason... Balding performance. Unless they consolidated, i am under Verizon through their service. I have been with straight talk for ten years; I cant tell you how many times in the past 2 years ive said aloud, home alone, WHAT AM I PAYING FOR? The calls drop, the internet falters, it makes me feel as poor as the monthly price suggests. Might as well carry the signature Great Value label. I miss how they used to be Edit: thank you for the video

Straight talk service and customer service is terrible. Someone told me they had it and happy with service.

I had half of a month of my service left and wanted them to refund me the money that they owed me. The refund guy was very rude and told me that I would have to call my bank to get my money back.
Definitely the worst customer service ever. They even let someone else activate a phone using my active number and I'm the third person that I know who had this happen to them. When I called wanting to know why my number wasn't working they told me it wasn't connected to my phone but someone else's. They wanted to give me a different number but I refused and told them to give the person they just gave my number to another number. It took me days of talking to several people to get it straightened out. I told them I don't understand how they can give someone else an active number. I'm looking around for a different option because now the only thing I get at my house is wifi no service where I can actually make or receive calls or text. #fedup
They have free cellphone services. I had a cell phone service years ago that was free but sold higher end phones to go along with the free service. I give close to two hundred for a higher end phone and three months later they cut off my services. I called and got the runaround by a very rude lady. I never got my service turned back on. It happened on new years day. It was happy rude new years to me. 😕
IT'S BEEN 4 MONTHS AND THEY CAN'T TRANSFER MY BROTHERS BROKEN J7 TO EITHER OF 2 NEW J7s!
EVERY TIME WE HIT CUSTOMER SERVICE WE HAD TO START THE CONVERSATION OVER. THEY ALSO CALLED US LIARS LOL THEY REPEATEDLY SAID THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING STRAIGHT TALK AND HAVE A NICE DAY.... WITHOUT HIM HAVING ANY SERVICE ON ANY OF THE 3 PHONES! THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THEY'VE PUT HIM BACK ONTO HIS SHATTERED SCREEN J7!
YOU NAME IT
WE GOT IT
THEY CAN'T DO IT LOL
Their customer service is HORRIBLE. Go to walmart and see if they can help you.
Go with Visible see if they can help you...
Cheaper and better too.
Actual unlimited HIGHspeed data with hotspot for 40$ a month and because its thru VZW they use their own nodes with priority over all the 3rd party piggybacking swine like StraightTalk.
@@renehellman9377 I SHALL TELL MY BROTHER :) THANK YOU
How do u pay ur bill plus paying off the phone how does that work?
I've worked at Walmarts electronics section for about 2 years now. Walmart employee are not allowed to set up straight talk phone. It's actually against walmarts policy if they do. Some walmarts are more strict than others on that policy.
They always setup mine done it for years
@@BIG_FETUS As I have stated. Walmart has a policy against it. Straight Talk is a self service, it is not a walmart employees job to set up your phone. If an employee is doing it for you they are not liable for any issues, and you have to get assistance from Straight Talk, or get a refund from walmart and try again. With that being said Walmart is only allowed to refund the PHONE not the service cards as the are NONREFUNDABLE. Walmart employees are not trained, nor payed to set up your phone. They are simply doing it to be nice, risking there job in some Walmarts to do so.
If your going to use straight talk I would just buy the cards to refill, endless headaches right now with the auto fill and when you try to buy something of their site transactions fail than three days later your bank is telling you that you purchased 3 plans and instead of stacking your airtime or whatever you want to call it they tell you you will need to get ahold of another department to do that or get refunded, simple things straight talk still hasn’t figured out so be careful
Straight talk is ok during busy hours your speed drop. obviously any provider speed drop during peek hours but as straight talk borrows verizon or at&t towers your speeds are not prioritized. I used them for two years but moved on to a bigger cell provider and my speeds are much faster. Just my experience everyone else is different.
I was a Straighttalk customer for 8 years until they false advertising a phone as new on their website. I received a refurbished phone. I called and complained about it an hour later someone from Straight Talk without my authorization changed my number in retaliation for my complaint about not getting a new phone. Stay far away from this company. It's also extremely difficult to get a new phone replacement if it's under warranty they are all con artists not from USA.
I had Straight talk services on four phones for 3 years the 4G LTE speed was more like 2G speeds most of the time the telephone talk service was ok, I had a combination of Verizon server T-Mobile server AT&t server, one of the phones that was on the Verizon server there at the last the LTE would keep falling out and I would only have 3G when I left straight talk I tried to get my phone unlocked but I had had for over a year and a half no show no go straight talk is not going to give your phone to you after you have paid for it...... Straight talk really needs to do something because this new service is coming up like T-Mobile and Visible will put them out of business, 2021 everyone should have unlimited plus hotspot this is ridiculous Straight talk should be ashamed of their self.......
Ive been using Straight Talk several years. Customer Service is very lacking, and that is my only beef with the company. Not only bad but many reps are very difficult to understand. Its not that i have issues with foreign languages, i self study other lamguages and enjoy using the languages I do know. But, when you can barely hear your service rep talking with an accent you dont recognize, plus they are barely audible most everytime ive had to use one. Gets a little exhaustive.
Currently im in need of replacing my cell phone i currently use, so I am shopping for a deal lol, but then arent we all?
My phone is one i had then bought the transfer kit Straight Talk sells which is fairly priced, especially when you dont want or need to buy another phone when you decide to switch to Straight Talk.
Straight talk is awesome. Been using it for years. Good show 👏.
At this point after the merger with Verizon Straighttalk is garbage.. the customer service reps barely speak English, all of today august 27, 2022 when I try to make a call the phone doesn’t ring I just keep getting a message telling me that the wireless customer I have called cannot be reached at this time and to please try my call again later. This even happens when I try calling a landline phone. After 15 tries I finally got through to a person on their 611 number this person told me they were doing maintenance on their network and that they expect the problem to be fixed in 2 hours. That was at 4:00 this afternoon. It’s 10:45 now and the problem is still there. I actually got to speak to another person at 611 and they told me that they were NOT doing maintenance..
I have NEVER had more than two bars of signal strength and so it takes a few minutes for web pages to load, with this new issue of not being able to make calls and the customer service reps LYING their service IS GARBAGE…. I’m SO glad that I NEVER signed up for auto refill……
I like straight talk 45 times more then metro pcs, I do the $ 55.00 plan. I wish had the money to do the $500.00 plan, yes they have one.
I prefer to pay month to month :)
WHY! even 55$ plan is not worth it and way over priced for what it is and what you TRULY get.
Check out Visible its 40$ a month for truly unlimited HIGH SPEED data with hotspot included. Plus if you use your old device you get 100$ back after 2 months, its like getting 2 months free plus some pocket change OH and the 1st month is only 25$
Best fckn deal i have ever seen!
metro by TMobile not PC's any more
Metro PCS is terrible as far as coverage!
@@renehellman9377 yeah it may be cheaper but I won't get signal anywhere I need it
First cell phone I got at Walmart straight talk didn’t work n I lost over $50 on the card I try to use for it now I’m Leary bout trying their phones it was brand new n issues just getting it to work
I am switching over to straight talk I am about ti get the new iPhone14
The $55 unlimited plan IS NOT unlimited. I went over 250 gb and they shut my internet off but allowed me to keep my actual phone and text msg on. THERE is a cap on the data use and im super furious at their false advertising that im probably going to switch to Cricket or some other carrier
yep i have the same, they call it the gold plan now and i only get up to 200 gigs
My service went out today 18 days before my plan is up. They told me too bad and I get no refund plus stuck with a phone I can only use for WiFi. It's a rip off for people who buy their faulty phones. Wonderful if you win the straight talk phone lotto. I've had this issue happen 3 times over the years. Never again.
I was told that in the past straightalk only works within the activation zip code, is this true?
I bought a refill card at waltmart and wasn't scan properly (i was told) so it didnt work, waltmart wouldn't give me another card or a refund straight talk wouldn't do anything either so i was out $45 plus tax ,Nobody takes responsibility when they screw up, we'll switch to a real company not that their any better.
That happen to me as well. That was the last time i had straight talk. I was done....
Where I live in Illinois I was told they are run through Verizon towers
Best deal of everything
So far ST's $55 monthly plan with absolutely unlimited data ($45 plan is limited to 25GB then 2G speeds) including unlimited hotspot is the cheapest and most reliable service plan out there
its not really unlimited it has a hard cap
@Apocalypse 47 what's the cap?
Ive used straight talk for years. Customer service SUCKS. No other plan comes close to their deals though.
For sure, customer service sucks... but for $50 per month, I'll deal with it 😂
i love straight talk!!!! vry happy with their great price and service
Thank u
I BEEN WITH VERIZON SINCE YEAR 2000 DO NOT GET. VERIZON CHARGER CORDS EXAMPLE VERY BAD WILL NOT CHARGE PHONES AT TIMES I GOT 5 CHARGERS
Damn MetroPCS is $25 a month unlimited fast speed data
I switched from metro to straight talk we was always losing service on metro
Fuck off liar, unlimited starts from 50 $ and first month free
nope
Not true. I was with Metro a couple years ago and unlimited plans were still $50 and up. They had lower tier plans at that time, but now the lowest plan you can get is $40 for 10gb. $25 unlimited *promotion* rn is if you are purchasing 4 lines which will be $100 total. Not $25 for a single person.
@@niggamaster9139 lmfaoo
Thanks for the review.
Today my Straight Talk G7 Maxx was upgraded to Android 10.
I was dealing with consumer service all day yesterday and today and it was annoying
Do you receive any paper bills in the mail from having an automatic renewal on your payments? I’d prefer nothing coming in the mail is why I ask, also I’d like to use straight talk for an iPad 6th gen, can I do that?
Straight Talk is awesome people
agreed!
Can I switch over my Verizon XR iPhone?
my son has straight talk(thanks to buying his i phone at walmart) but he also has Sprint wireless cell service.
why would he need both?, i think he is overpaying by having both,! (thanks so much if you can answer!)
So what you are saying is the 35 dollar plan is basically the same as the 45 dollar plan only difference is the data has something to do with it and to use wifi more wherever it is available is what I got from that unless I am way off
anyone know how to connect an unlocked Razer phone with straight talk? it wont read the sim that already has my number on it i am so lost!
You probably have to buy the BYOP sim kit which comes with 3 sim cards for att, Verizon and sprint network. Its .99¢ on Walmart.com
How is this "prepaid" if you're paying per month just like any other service?
AT&T owes me still for a balance after I closed the account!
Can you activate your current phone if it no longer has service?
Customer service is atrocious. When you call customer support, all you get is the twofold reply of "I'm sorry". And "I can't help you.
If you purchase the phone + phone plan, is the phone for keeps if you decide you no longer wish to use ST?
Why am I getting so many robocalls and how is it straight talk knows what applications I'm using and not using how much access to my phone do they have
So I’m in college and I use hotspot to my laptop a lot but I read from a comment that it doesn’t allow hotspots. Would you recommend to a student?
I dont know too much about hot spots, as I'm normally in an area with Wifi. I'd do more research on it if I were you. But as a phone plan, I would highly recommend Straight Talk for data, call and texts!
Prabably Metro PCS. I had unlimited hotspot but the catch is... you HAVE to pay the perpaid bill every month or else they will still charge you if your phone is off. Makes no damn sense to me
Wouldnt recommend to any one.
Check out Visible its unlimited uncapped HIGHSPEED data with hotspot included, all for 40$ a month... and the 1st month only costs 25$, also if you buy a new device from Visible you get 200$ back after 2 months... 100$ back if you use your old device.
Yes 55 you get 10 GB. Not alot but right now they are giving 20gb hotspot. I watched alot of movies first time I really used it.
55 dollar plan includes unlimited talk, text, data. Only 10GB for mobile hotspot, they don't have add ons for hotspot, only for mobile data
Do any of Straight Talk phones have wifi calling? I had Straight talk for many years and I loved it but where I live there is no cell service so I had to switch to metro pcs cause their phones have wifi calling. I would like to go back to Straight Talk. I like the samsung A50 but was wondering if it has the wifi calling setting or do u know if any other straighttalk phones have it?
Through FB messenger
Totally does, the a10e and a51 both have wifi calling on straight talk
Is the 55$ unlimited internet
Can I use my Apple Watch on straight talk?
Yes, as long as it is unlocked from your original carrier or manufacturer.
Yes, as long as it is unlock from your original carrier.
My straight talk phone couldn't be less useful. I paid for "unlimited" data, amd my phone will not connect to anything unless connected to wifi.
Seems to be some sort of high frequency pitch sound coming from the video.
Yeah, there was something wrong with my mic 😩
Dude, straight talk is Verizon! Verizon owns them.
How can you understand the reps that talk to you?
Every time I talk to them, I don’t get the answer I needed!!!!
I use an Android phone I never use up all my mobile data I'm not even signed into Wi-Fi I have no troubles with my phone except for Wi-Fi wants to charge me $54 a month so I don't sign in it should come free with the service I think if you need to talk to a rep use text messaging don't call text messaging is pretty much instant
What do you mean you can’t use wifi?
Yea I got one to
I will pay Verizon for the customer service alone.the customer service with Walmart's plan serms to be a headache. The call center has a script and tell the customer to hit random numbers and then hang up.the customer is supposed to give up at that point.that sounds ridiculous
Let's say the phone cost 100 could I just buy the phone or do I have to buy a plan with the phone
Woulty you can buy it without plan.
You could also purchase a phone with monthly installments added with whatever plan u choose.
I agree 150%on technical support
My experience with straight talk is it's extremely slow data to the point where you can't stream video or do basic web browsing
Thanks man i was looking for this answers. I was thinking about getting straight talk but after seeing your comment idk 😐
@@memyself1176 Every cellphone service depend on your location. You can’t compare a strangers experience in a unknown city, to your city’s service. 30 day trial. Visual voicemail doesn’t work with android phones, but there is a workaround with Google voice.
My experience is I live in a rural area and only Straighttalk and Verizon work where I live. I chose ST because it’s just cheaper, same quality for me. But again this is just my experience.
I personally think they should shut straight talk down I mean it's the law once you have a device for 45 days they're supposed to unlock it and you're supposed to be able to use it on a different network if you wish.... and then when you do go to a different network they will not Port your number they are totally illegal they are they should be shut down..... My advice is don't get involved with them you're wasting your time and money.....their data speeds are the slowest in the country they claim 4g but it's more like 2G......
I used straighttalk for 8 years. But left because of poor services and I couldn't get picture texts to download at all... So I switch over to Google fi. I may not have unlimited data, but I get full service
Not super easy. Spent hours and went through 5 reps just to run into the end of their service hours. Still not active.
I HATE straight talk phone service! I have been a loyal customer for 20 years, always had great service until 10 months ago? In my line of work I depend on GPS, I enjoy watching videos etc, but several days out of every month I don't have service, its like they just cut my service off? There's never an explanation, no refunds and even though I go to my local Walmart to buy my service, whenever I call 611 im talking to agents in Ukraine? It honestly feels like I'm getting ripped off, I've got 14 days left ill be iso another service provider.
How does the $30/month flip phone plan compare to Total Wireless $25/mo. flip phone plan? That's what I'd like to know. (for a relative). They both have the same Alcatel model phone, which seems decent esp w the FM radio.
Total Wireless is the better option for flip phone plans. $25 unlimited talk (minutes) and text versus Straight Talk's $30 Plan for 1,000 minutes.
Should I move from boost and get ST? Not happy with boost
Curious if you can use the internet while on the phone?
I purchased the $29.00 Straight Phone flip phone yesterday. Today I spent time (to no avail) getting the phone registered and loading $30.00 phone time. I could not get the phone to connect to the network, even with customer service helping. Turns out the cell towers (according to customer service) are not able to connect with the phone. Sad thing is, my wife, daughter and grandson have no problem with connecting with the cell tower. I live in Indianapolis, Indiana which means cell phone signals should be great. My daughter returned the phone to Walmart. I'm out the $30.00 I spent for cell time. About five years ago I had the same thing happen with T-Mobile and their cell towers were five mile (as the crow flies) where I was living at the time. Needless to say I will never again buy Straight Talk or T-Mobile. In short their service is absolute garbage.
can you use it on wifi?
Oddity! How is it possible to have used over 800 gb by just connection? On this type of standard service at Straight talk.
Can i use my old phone? I'm using an android. Thanks in advance bro!
Yes you can bring yoir own phone
yes. both CDMA and GSM phones.
Use this code NDPX-8DE1 and get unlimited data for a month free thank me later
Yeah I am having one hell of a time to load my phone
i pay $30 per month now and i want a cheaper option...
Tracphone is $20 for the cheapest amount of minutes you can put on it.
What's funny is.. all the prepaid phones are more expensive in Walmart than postpaid phones they sell on Verizon. That phone on Verizon is 200 ... The Moto e6 is like 18 bucks on Verizon. So really.. post paid through Walmart is cheaper when it comes to phones
Agreed, I get all of my phones through walmart. Can always get a good price!
SPATH I work for the company the sells them haha
My friend always uses straight talk and doesn’t have an issue with them lmaoo
Use this code NDPX-8DE1 and get unlimited data for a month free thank me later
Straight Talk Walmart Phone goes to a busy signal when I try to recharge, whats up?
Hi I would like to know my dad old phone it broke but he set up to pay automatic and straight talk charge money from his account every month but he cannot used his phone so he for get his password too if I not pay for service more than 1months the service plan for his old phone everything it going cancer or not could you please answer to me thank you
Awesome review bro!
Well they beat me
Phone service just stop working don't know why they could not tell me why
Just had got a New phone for nothing soi had to get another phone and service
My phone on ST sucks I have betwee a tiny speck to 3 bars on avg. Data is even worse. Ican barely play pokemo go. Havent even trie streaming. And I am using the 45$/ 25Gb plan card.
No. And they have comments turned off on RUclips for a reason...
Balding performance. Unless they consolidated, i am under Verizon through their service. I have been with straight talk for ten years; I cant tell you how many times in the past 2 years ive said aloud, home alone, WHAT AM I PAYING FOR? The calls drop, the internet falters, it makes me feel as poor as the monthly price suggests. Might as well carry the signature Great Value label.
I miss how they used to be
Edit: thank you for the video
My experience as of late has been that of microwaved poop.
I got a question can i buy a phone never activate only used use for games or wife?
