    Default Straight Talk Phones ??

    Right now i have Verizon but i am tired of the $80 a month bill. Also i hate the idea that Verizon is about to end its Unlimited Data plan's
    Ive looked at straight talk due to signal coverage is with Verizon network.
    Straight talk is also only $45 Unlimited everything Talk+Text+Data+Web.
    Anyone have experience with them ?

    Yes i saw it on their site and it is on Aol News also. I called and talked to a sales rep she said i was ok till my Contract was up. After that i would have to pay for my data usage i told her thats GAY! and i would be leaving Verizon then.
    Only thing is contract phone company's will not have it any more. Straight talk,Boost and a few others do have unlimitited

    Sprint Still offers Unlimited Data

    And it isn't dumb

    Data takes a huge toll on the infrastructure of a phone network... It costs money to keep that up
    I'm just that guy that spends all his time printing.... T-shirts, banners, vinyl, etc.

    its dumb when you have smart phones that access the internet all the time. i pay an extra $30 a month to use the internet. As much as they charge for service you figure they could make upgrades and be able to handle everything.

    I have had or people in my house have had every service available here...and you wont find anything better as far as phones and service go when it comes to Verizon. Hell there are 2 sprint phones in my house right now and they ALWAYS have problems with service or the phone itself.

    You have Phone issues, not service issues. Sprint and Verizon have almost identical footprints due to roaming agreements.

    Boost still has the best deal going though in wireless

    Yes you will have to pay EXAMPLE: $10=5mb $25=50mb $50=1GB etc....but NO unlimited
    The PDA phones like black berries it will hurt the most due to always sending and receiving info. It sucks ass thats all i know
