GBNumber was hacked Number was hacked, and basic talk acted if I was the guilty party, shutting off my phone without letting me know. Suspending my account, not returning phone calls, charging me for service that I do not have. Cannot cancel because no one wants to take responsibility to handle this problem, every one is pointing to the other dept. I am stuck in the middle.

GBTried to change my billing date online… Tried to change my billing date online using their 'chat' feature. Numerous attempts and it didn't work. I then tried using their online email to have them change my billing date. Numerous attempts and that didn't work. Tried using a phone number through Google search and received automated response that the number dialed was only for setting up a NEW account. No way to contact these people if you have a problem or need to make a change in you account. Customer service is truly NONEXISTENT!! The actual product and VoIP service is VERY GOOD but customer service isn't there!

GBPlease contact the FCC and let them… Please contact the FCC and let them know of all the problems with Basic Talk (which is Vonage). We did and its very easy to do. Once the FCC gets involved Vonage MUST respond to your query. Perhaps if enough people make a complaint something MIGHT change. Or if you are looking to cancel and need a refund, again, contact the FCC - that is the fire Vonage needs to get moving and get your situation resolved. Unfortunately, even AFTER contacting the FCC, Basic Talk (Vonage) just blows more smoke up your derriere and makes it as though your box and connection are suddenly the problem (not them). That, after all these years you now need to connect the box directly to your phone and that's why there are dropped calls repeatedly and garbled speech. NOPE, it's Vonage. And, as if you didn't already know, Vonage (BasicTalk) is ALL based in India, not the USA and Basic Talk has NO SUPPORT.

GBRefusing to cancel my account and lying I'm having a very similar problem to many of the other people who have left reviews. I've been trying to cancel my account but just keep getting "thank you for choosing to continue service" emails - even after being ASSURED that the account has been canceled. That's just straight up dishonest. I'm not sure what to do in this situation, except if they end up charging me again contacting my credit card company and disputing the charges as fraudulent. They just absolutely refuse to cancel the account.

GBOur home phone Our home phone, connected to the Basic Talk modem via Ethernet, suddenly stopped receiving calls. We could call out, at least, and this system has worked well for the past decade or so of our subscription, but things quickly got worse. Now we're not able to make calls as of yesterday (03/07/2024), and the company sent an email advising us that our service was terminated, and that they needed to legally advise us that we have no emergency (911) call capability! My interactions with customer service were cordial, but they could not resolve the original problem. Basic Talk was a good phone service, but apparently they're not maintaining good customer relations or support.
