Calling this Straight Talk Customer Number

Christian Allen is the editor / author responsible for this content.

I heard about Straight Talk Wireless through television ads. I was interested in their Internet service, so I called 855-222-2355 to speak with a customer representative. Like most customer service numbers, my initial interaction was not with a human greeting me cheerfully. Instead, an automated voice response system began by thanking me for calling Straight Talk Wireless and telling me I could press “2” for Spanish. After that, the system informed me that the call “may be recorded,” but I could visit a link on the company’s home page for information about their privacy policies.

A consumer can call the customer service number at Straight Talk Wireless to learn more about wireless services, devices, and home internet. Upon answering my call, the voice response system shared a menu of options, including adding a plan, activating a plan, adding a line to an existing account, changing a phone number, technical support, phone purchases, SIM cards, accessories, and home internet. To access these options, I needed to press a number between one and eight that corresponded with my choice. Pressing nine would return me to the menu.

I chose home internet service, since I was curious about what Straight Talk Wireless offered. I had to hold for the next representative and listen to the usual automated background music while waiting. Another voice response system message encouraged me to continue holding for the next available representative.

Surprisingly, the hold time was not long, and a customer service representative greeted me and said they would be “more than glad” to help. I asked them about their Internet service and learned that it involves my purchasing a home internet plan. The representative explained that I would need a home router and shared the monthly fee. However, the individual asked for my phone number and home address, which I hesitated to share. Since I initiated the call, I decided it should be fine to share the information to learn what I needed to know about the service.

The representative used the information to determine if Straight Talk Internet was available in my area. Unfortunately, I cannot access the service where I live. However, they told me the service is expanding, so I should check back to find out when it would become available.

Overall, my experience with the Straight Talk Wireless customer service number was not bad. The automated menu was somewhat long, but once I chose my preference, the wait time for speaking to an associate was brief. The individual seemed friendly and eager to help, which was impressive.
