Among other's things.. The last straw was when they deactivated my BYOP phone. It had been working out just fine for several months. One day it stopped working. I finally got to talk to someone about it. They say they transfered my number to another phone. I told them I don't have another phone. I've had this number for a couple of years now. I don't want it transfered... Well.. After about an hour of talking to different people. (And explaining to each one that I DO NOT HAVE ANOTHER PHONE) They told me there is nothing I can do now. I have to buy another activation card. And get a new number. I ask them to give me back the money for the other card since it has only been used for 2 weeks of the month that I paid for. They tell me they don't do that. SOOO.. You sell me a card for $45.00 for a month of use, Deactivate it after 2 weeks. Then tell me I have to buy another card now. If you think about how many millions of customers they have. If they do this to just a fraction. That's still millions of dollars they are making. Just from the people that have to buy 2 cards in one month. Straight up Rip Off !!.. I'm with a new company now. I hope someone sues these clowns.

This is not the first problem I have had with these idiots. It's just the last time I'm going to let them rip me off !

Straighttalk sent a rebuttal. And this is what happened after.

So chatted with them online with the link given. Here is the chat session.

I *'d some of the numbers for obvious reasons.

Serial Number or Cell #
417-***-****

Issue type:
Deactivation

Please wait while your chat is routed to the next available agent.

I did try to click on the button to send me a transcript, But for some "odd" reason it was not clickable. ..lol

So, I called them. And was told. There is nothing they can do unless I have the serial number of the phone the number was transferred to. I said I can't give you that info, Since I do not have another phone. That's the problem, I have no idea what you are talking about. I have no other phone.  Straighttalk tells me there is nothing they can do unless I have this info.

THEY FIXED NOTHING. Don't let their rebuttal fool you. They asked the same questions as before. Got the same answers as before. And fixed nothing.

As I said before, I am sure that I am not the first person this has happened to. I am in the process of finding others so that we can file a class action lawsuit. We will see where it goes from here.
