Default Beware Straight Talk
If considering the "No Contract" phone and internet provider Straight Talk offered through Walmart be aware of these facts. With them from Mid December through March, left them and now with Verizon.
- Straight Talk phones purchased at Walmart cannot be used with other providers if you change. Samsung Galaxy S3 for $399.00 & traded it in to Verizon for $63.00. Big $ loss.
- If there is a problem with your phone (even within 30 days of new) they send you a "Refurbished" phone as warranty.
- pay monthly (not 6 months at a time like we did) since you will not get any money refunded for unused time if you leave them.
- So many issues with their warranty service and phone service (terrible in Fla and GA), anyone I spoke to on the multiple calls (over 15 people including supervisors) ALL foreign, many with broken English so bad I had to request someone else.
- BBB.com-They have over 2445 complaints lodged on Better Business Bureau against them. Many of those complaints are the same issues I had. HIND SIGHT IS 20/20!
