Why PureTalk

Written by the company

Customer service, right here in the USA
We believe in America and in creating jobs for Americans. That’s why, unlike other big businesses that offshore to save a buck, our friendly customer service team is based right here in the U.S.
No contracts or overage fees
You deserve better from your wireless company, not to be pigeonholed into an unlimited data plan you don’t need. That’s why we offer plans starting at $24.99 with no contracts and no hidden fees.
Deeds. Not words.
You can say a lot of things. Doing them is harder. Deeds, Not Words reflects PureTalk’s belief that values mean nothing without follow-through.

Lied to about pricing when trying to upgrade

I have been a customer for many years with 4 lines. I went to upgrade 2 of those lines on 3/31/26, which I have done in the past with no issue, and they lied to me about the monthly price. I even asked for an exact price including taxes, etc. The upgrades also eliminated my family plan discounts for having 4 lines. The price changes will cost my family over $480 more per year. I wanted to speak to a supervisor and they said none were available. This was a bait and switch and has left me frustrated. They are not the honest Company that they claim to be.

Hello Julie! Thank you so much for sharing those account details with us.

We’ve taken a look at your billing, and we want to make sure everything is as clear and helpful as possible regarding your recent plan changes.

We have confirmed that a total of $60.00 in bill credits has been successfully applied to your account. Part of this credit was used to cover the costs associated with upgrading your second line, and the remaining balance will automatically carry over to reduce your May bill.

We also want to clarify how the Multi-Line discount works with our updated offerings. While our newest service plans are not eligible for this specific discount, we have ensured that your 10% Multi-Line discount remains active on the two lines currently enrolled in our legacy plans. Please note that should those specific lines be upgraded to a new plan in the future, the legacy discount would be removed at that time.

We sincerely apologize for any confusion or frustration these transitions may have caused. We aim to make these updates as seamless as possible, and we truly appreciate your patience while we work through this together.

Thank you for being such a valued member of the PureTalk family. Please let us know if there is anything else we can clarify for you! -M.S.

|Hello, Julie! We are truly sorry for the miscommunication and the stress these unplanned costs have caused you. That is certainly not the experience we want for our customers. We’d like to take a closer look at what happened and see how we can help. Please look out for a message from us shortly so we can get started on a fix for you. - A.M.

I have been a loyal Pure Talk customer for a long time.

I have been with Pure Talk from when they first started. There were some minor glitches which got worked out without much of a problem. They are the only cell service I have ever used and am very happy with the coverage, price and customer support. Early on I was paying very much less than the larger carriers which was helpful as I did not need all the bells and whistles of those more expensive options. Pure Talk I believe is also veteran owned and had a better reputation than the other 3rd party providers at the time. Highly recommended.

I am truly thankful for this company

I am truly thankful for this company. I'm a truck driver so I'm all over the USA, have had pure talk for about 4 months now, haven't dropped a whole lot of calls. And saving about 200 dollars a month and have unlimited everything plus a hot spot. Customer service for this company is second to none. If you want to know the truth I would put up with dropped calls if I had to, just for the customer service and support. Thank you pure talk. If you're reading this and thinking of dropping your old phone company, do it. If I knew this I would have switched long ago. Once again, THANK YOU PURE TALK

Great customer service, great website, great phone service, great company!!

I’ve been with Pure Talk for 8 years or so, going with them saved me so much $$$ compared to Verizon with the exact same plan and coverage. Always great service when I contact them. It’s very easy to use their website but if you need any help just dial 611. Being veteran owned was another deciding factor. One of the best decisions I’ve ever made!

PURE TALK, PURE BARGAIN

I've had my phone service with Pure Talk for at least 5 years and they are very reasonable prices and easy to get ahold of when you have a question. They also are U.S. based and are very mindful of our military men and women and other patriotic interests. Good investment for people who want to give back to America and get a good phone plan to boot!

KAMINA Queen of customer service

They were just great! Kamina spent time with me helping me set my new phone I (I have MS). She was patient, professional and made sure everything was functioning before we finished the call. The price is right for this veteran owned company and if
Kamina is typical of their customer service can't go wrong.

I DO NOT RECOMMEND PURETALK

I had a horrific experience with PureTalk. Thanks to TrustPilot, PureTalk finally paid me for my traded in phone. As far as customer service, they are unprofessional. PureTalk advertises lower prices, but that’s based on low data use. They are no cheaper after upping the data on your plan. I have unlimited data with Verizon. My Verizon plan is less expensive than PureTalk was.
