I've NEVer had Basic Talk in my Life! I've NEVer had Basic Talk in my Life!! But somehow they're billing my account and have been since June of 2023 for $1.99, twice each month for 10 months. I called and this Asian lady, that you can barely understand, told me to call my bank. Then I'm given the number from the bank, to call the telephone number they have on file for them. I do and I'm Forced to leave an E-mail. I want my money refunded and the FCC to look into this. This is nothing more than Theft. I've been a customer of either Verizon or Spectrum for over a decade and Never needed Basic Talk. I had to go on the computer to find out who they are. If my money isn't put back into my account in 24 hours, I'M CALLING THE COPS !!! If it wasn't for the App "Rocket Money", that I recently downloaded, I would have never known they were stealing from me.

A BASIC GIMMICK | Technically, it works, and as the name implies it's BASIC service. Except for Caller ID, and Call waiting, you get NOTHING more. Call Forwarding should be BASIC! PRICE is where it gets very deceptive! It's pushed as $10/month. That's a lie! I'm paying $15/month! Besides actual REAL taxes, they make up several charges and attempt to bamboozle you into believing they are Federal taxes. There are now "virtual" services which makes Basic Talk obsolete. By the way, BASIC TALK is a dumbed down version of VONAGE, which owns it.

Incompetent support techs I called support today to cancel one of the two lines I have through Basic Talk. Spoke to a man (Rajesh, in India) that could barely speak English. He refused to let me speak to an English speaking person and then canceled the number I wanted to keep instead of the number I told him to cancel. I called back on my other line to inform him of the mistake and he canceled the other line too. These people are criminals.

Too many lies. Rude customer service from India where english is uncomprehendable They start with 9.99 but with the taxes and additional fees will end upto 13.00. Then they started charging 911 which as part of the deal vs magic jack is free. Then now the kick it up again. I choose them because they promise they have customer service but they never say its is some rude Indian guys who lies to yo. They promise I can transfer my njmber for 30 days but yhe loophole is they complicate everything...No customer service at all. Never will I take this service nor recommned it at all

Dishonest - Rip Off Artists! The service is fine. However, I called 3 times and was very clear that I was cancelling my account. They agreed to cancel during each call, but never cancelled it and continued charging my account. Then, they refused to issue a refund despite the fact they openly admitted that they could see I had called and that it hadn't been used in over a year. I would not recommend Basic Talk to ANYONE! They are a scam!!
