Straight Talk problems

TracFone Wireless Inc runs Straight Talk, and it was put into place to stop all the expense when it came to providing its customers with a wireless service. But Straight Talk problems do occur including login errors, tracking orders not working and servers being down.

Are you having Straight Talk problems right now? Apart from the above Straight Talk issues could also include texting not working, Internet down, not able to check your balance online or problems with activation.

Straight Talk wants its customers on networks in the USA without the commitment of contracts, and apparently offers great savings of up to around $950 per year. This is all possible with the likes of a $45 Unlimited plan, but there is always more going on.

Straight Talk status reports for Saturday 24th of July 2021

  • Mark

    I can talk for hours on my phone but when I do I get dropped calls or it sounds like a robot when I’m talking or it even makes an echo sound hearing your own voice. I have had this problem for the past 5 years. I like the plan they have to offer but something needs to be done with this issue. I really don’t want to switch company’s. 5-14-2016

  • Lisa Lybeck

    Wondering if anyone else who has a phone plan from straight talk, is having problems with making and receiving phone calls? I can do everything else, internet, text etc but its the phone calls that get dropped. I just added a new card for the month yesterday.

  • LaTisha Mays

    I can’t send text, I can receive them if its not from a straight talk phone. I also just add a new card.

  • Lisa Lybeck

    I can send and receive texts from my phone and receive them from any other cell phone. Its just the calls last a minute maybe two minutes if i’m lucky then they get cut off, and it will say call lost no signal. It just started today and my boyfriend has the same problem with his phone, so i know its not the actual phone since we both have the same problem.

  • Upset

    Yes

  • Jackie Bennett

    Hi what did u have to do to your phone to straighten it out.was it your phone or what?or the tower mine is verizon tower

  • Damaris Ramirez

    I have not been able to use my phone in more than a week now. Says searching for service. Called them, they hung up on me after an hr. I called back and after talking to someone, they placed me on hold and just transferred me with no warning to someone else. They said first I probably don’t have coverage where I live after 5-6 yrs with them. Then, it was an error w the sim matching the phone serial number and it was supposedly fixed but nope! Still the same. Worst service ever

    Straight Talk internet down for my friend but her husband is working in same town

  • Rita R

    Used to rave about the service. Talked my whole family into using straighttalk. The past 2 months the service has been crappy for some reason. No service, no Internet, can’t send texts. I’m thinking about checking out another provider. It’s getting a little ridiculous to pay for service that doesn’t work or is so slow you want to throw your phone.

  • adam foster

    Straight talk is down in my area. What is going on?? My phone keeps saying I’m roaming when im not.

  • Jason McKay

    No data here in kingsland tx. On mine or anys friends straighttalk phone for two days now

  • May

    I’ve been with straight talk for years now and pay my bill on time every month, I have always had Great service up until about 3 months ago, where I had full bars I now have maybe 1 if that. I’m in east texas , we have had ALOT of bad storm’s hear for the last few months. Figure something took out something and they will fix it . They should let us know or give us a break on our bill . Has anyone from straight talk contacted any one on this site yet

  • Carly

    As of this afternoon, I only have two bars of signal strength and sometimes one. Did not receive texts when they were sent until half an hour afterward. Did not receive a phone call until twenty minutes later and it was the voicemail that was left for me but the number was listed as someone else’s. However, the voicemail was from the original person trying to call me and he has not changed his number. My daughter had the same problem yesterday only worse (no service, no receiving any texts or calls, no internet) and after spending the whole day on the phone with tech support (not fixing the problems at all) she finally had to go get a new SIM card and phone number. And this was with time left on her paid phone card with no reimbursement. What is going on? We live in Northern Idaho.

  • Mark Shaw

    For weeks now I look at my phone and I got almost full bar then I dial a number and it sets there and I watch the bars go down to 1 then it starts to ring and the quality of the call is so bad that they can’t tell what I’m saying because it cuts in and out. We have tried everything any ideas?? I’d be grateful.

  • Padeba

    My Straight Talk service running off Verizon towers has been crap for several months. Dropped calls, calls not connecting, message dumps hours after they were sent…like a dozen or more at a time, international roaming messages popping up almost daily when I have never left the house, low or no bars & calls breaking up so badly I have to go outside when I NEVER had to do that until recently. I have been with ST since 2015 but that is about to change because the one thing I have ALWAYS known about them is their consistently BAD customer service, to the point of being no customer service at all. I just decided I would stick with them until something like this happened & then switch. That day has come because there is NO talking to them. Seriously considering getting a landline again just so I can make phone calls where people can actually hear me, I can hear them & I don’t have to stand outside to do that.

  • Truepatriot_56

    My service has been down since Saturday October 5th. If I leave my WiFi connection at home, no service or data. Called Straight Talk on Saturday and the representative claimed that it was my SIM card. I told her that I disagree and that I think that their services are lacking and sure enough there is some sort of outage. I live in Cheyenne, Wyoming.

  • No one

    I can’t make or receive calls

  • Very upset customer

    My daughter is having the same problem and my phone works and hers doesn’t and I have an older phone than she does and still it should still work it was working last month and took money from her account for both lines and still hers does not work and they trouble shooted the phone and still nothing reset it and still nothing and I had her take out her sim and still nothing he restarted it on his end nothing so we have had this service for like three months and still never had this problem two months of the service was ok until the last month so I asked to have this reissued back to her card they still took money from and they said they can only do it for the tome it hasn’t been working which was all of what is left of this month so we will be going to corporate on this one not satisfied at all

  • Stephanee Hicks

    I can’t pay my bill

  • Kevin Byrom

    My straight talk home service stopped working yesterday, 10/24/19. Of the two cellular signal strength lights on our box, neither of them were lighting up. I pulled the power off the box and plugged it back in, and the two signal strength lights came on and went out immediately. This tells me that the home unit is working, but the cellular towers are in trouble and not putting out a signal. Could there be more to this story? All we get when we take the phone off the hook is a constant beep, beep, beep apprximately every two seconds. If the service does not come back on soon, I’ll be switching to another service!

    My service didn’t work for 2 days, I called that acted like they had no idea there was a problem. I had search online and found there was a major outage from AT&T which is affiliated with straight talk. They still denied they had a outage, my phone is working now but I’ve seen some post that say there isn’t… I’m in Lancaster Ohio, but straight talk doesn’t seem to be honest and drop the ball on this one
