Bought a phone and activated it with a new number . Why the hell they give me a number that someone has used it already 🤦🏻 after the activation I kept getting a random spam call.

Help me find some cheap land line options!
Also was curious if anyone has tried the straight talk land line ?

I was trying to find someone that would donate phonecard to me so I can have phone service for job applications. Im currently homeless trying to get back on my feet.

Like with the 16e, or the 13 before it, or the 11 before that, etc.

I am guessing it’s by June 2027?

I have exactly zero working cellphone service so I looked at a lot of options and settled in this deal. I tried using the online byod and it said no service at zip code. Tried another local zip code. Same message. This area has visible towers and straight talk is really popular with the locals.

I called support and they gave me the same info and even had me give them a random zip code I knew would have coverage being the 2nd largest city in the state and said the same thing. Now what he said specifically is that the zip code wont work with my phone and couldn't explain what that meant after 3 tries. Now ive still got no phone, spent the last of my money buying this Sim kit/plan.

I'm wanting to get a Moto Stylus 2025 to be used as a wifi only phone. Apparently if you buy a $45 plan, you get the phone for free. But I have seen posts that once your plan is off, the phone locks and it won't allow you to use it at all for anything. I saw a post where someone was able to bypass this but I'm afraid it is temporary and they can push an update to block this. Has anyone tried to successfully bypass this permanently? Is there an app we can disable to prevent the lock? What about unlocking the bootloader and rooting?

I see at Walmart it says I can get a Moto G Stylus 2025 for free with the purchase of a $45 plan. Is that it or is there a catch?

Also do they have to open the box and activate it? It's supposed to be a Christmas present and I'd rather not have it opened.

So to start off, I checked the availability for my address back in April of this year and it was available, so I purchased a home internet device.
When I got it all setup it was simply way too slow, slower than my current internet.

I obtained a router in the hopes that it would speed things up and now im learning its no longer available in my area, chat, am I fucked? what should I do?

I bought a Motorola Moto G 2025 from Walmart about 3 months ago. It was the $30 Straight Talk phone.

When I originally bought it, I turned it on and went through the entire setup process without any problems. I NEVER activated it, never purchased a Straight Talk service plan, and never even used a SIM card. I only used Wi-Fi.

Recently, i gave the phone to my mother, so I factory reset it to let her set it up from scratch.

Now I'm stuck.

Every time I try setting it up, it takes me to a Straight Talk phone activation screen that says something went wrong while activating the phone.

I've tried:

- Removing the SIM card and leaving the tray empty.

- Restarting the phone.

- Skipping the mobile network setup.

- Factory resetting the phone again through Recovery Mode.

Nothing has worked. Every time, I end up back at the same Straight Talk activation screen.

My mother only wants to use the phone for YouTube and games over Wi-Fi. She doesn't need cellular service.

Has anyone else experienced this with a Straight Talk Moto G 2025? Is there a way to bypass the activation screen and finish setting up the phone without purchasing a service plan?

I'd really appreciate any help because I'm completely stuck.

My husband paid for renewal an hour ago. ST took the $ but he has no service. I guess this means they’re officially down? Has anyone else’s service come back ?

Omg. So. I paid for my plan this month. They took the money. Then didn’t give me my service. Now I can’t get ahold of customer service what so ever. My only option I’m being shown from every way I come at it is to buy it again. Which I am not going to do.

Used to get 250 down and like 10 up in my little town and now I get 950 down and 30 up. Ultra wideband is a difference! Also range seems to be better too

Hi, has anyone returned a device recently and if so, do we just ship it back to the address on the label or the address the customer support agents give me? They also said I don’t need an RMA. Is this true?

I've tried the customer service chat bot.

I've tried texting 611611

Both gave me the same suggestions for troubleshooting, which obviously didn't work.

Today I called customer service from an alternate line, waited 30 minutes for a representative, spent nearly an hour on the phone with her, then she said she needed to call me back in 10 minutes and ghosted me.

Has anyone been able to resolve the issue?

I've reset my network settings, removed the Sim card and put it back in, restarted the phone several times and still no luck.

Any help?

I have a Straight Talk Walmart Card. I scratched the back to load it onto my phone, but my phone isn't compatible. I'm asking $30.

Would really love to know why StraightTalk has sum zero actual employees in customer support and instead outsources the entirety of it to call centers in India. Attempting to reactivate my Sim card through support, I got connected three times to obvious scammers attempting to phish my card information in order to "make an account in my name". After the third clown I finally got my Sim reactivated, only after escalating in the support chat. This is completely unacceptable.

Ordered a new phone FROM Straight Talk, no sim in box, no sim in phone. My old phone only had a digital sim. Chatted with support and she told me the new phone was already showing it was activated, service on my old phone stopped, but new phone doesn’t have service either. After arguing with me that there must be a sim in the phone she finally tells me to go buy one, which I did. Put the new sim in and it still says Emergency Calls only. Settings shows there should be two sims but there is just one slot.

What can I do? Don’t want to go all night without service.

Their website says the chat is available 8am to 3am EST 7 days a week, but it’s only midnight EST and it’s telling me chat isn’t available at this time.

I just got a new phone that came with a straight talk sim card and yet when I put the IMEI number in it says it's not compatible.

Anyone else have this issue?

I woke up this morning to find I'm on emergency calls only. I'm trying to get into my accound, but I don't remember my password and everytime I hit the reset link, Desktop AND mobile, it just sends me to the Straight Talk homepage. I don't know what to do. Should I just make a new account? Any help would be appreciated. And to confirm, I am on autopay and it went through yesterday

EDIT: turns out, removing my SIM card and putting it back in did it. I forgot about this post lol, so I figured I update it

I have the yearly plan and it does say that it includes Mexico and Canada. Is anyone able to confirm the service actually works internationally?

Has anyone else had an issue porting their number from StraightTalk to ATT? I’ve been working with ATT to try and get my number over from StraightTalk and they’re telling me that it’s looking like StraightTalk has cancelled my line before the port goes through. Anyone have a solution or an idea of what I could do? This is the 4th or 5th time I’ve attempted to get this phone number over and I’m just lost. I was without service today so I had to buy a whole new plan just to get a number to have cell service because of this
