The Bad
- Limited Device Selection
- Coverage Quality
Limited Device Selection
Cleartalk's device selection is very limited compared to the big name cell phone providers. Though it has a good selection of Android phones and even a couple of flip phones, there are no Apple products available through Cleartalk Wireless.
Coverage Quality
Current customers have complained about the quality of coverage. Coverage is spotty throughout the country. The best advice with this information is to read user reviews who have tried Cleartalk Wireless to see how they measure up to reviews from other carriers.
The Bottom Line
Cleartalk Wireless is a good option for those who have coverage in their hometowns (please see the coverage map for more information) and are looking for an affordable, standard unlimited cellular plan. However, there are other providers that offer better network coverage and a greater device selection.
