| Anybody here use WalMart's Straight Talk phone plan? (Posted on 2/14/13 at 5:29 pm)
Buy an iPhone 5 for $649 then it's $45 per month for unlimited phone and text... data is unlimited but throttled if you regularly exceed 2gigs per month.
Not a bad deal compared to Verizon... I'm paying $79 per month for NO data.

They do have the best price on condoms though.

I do. I have one of their droids. It works just fine for me. When I travel through pats of Mississippi, I have no signal. I believe if you use their non droid phones, your completely covered.

Thank you, Fishwater.
There's a spot on US61 between St. Francisville and Natchez that goes completely dead with Verizon on me.
Now I have to decide if I want an iPhone.

Straight talk is Vzw.
My wife and I use Net 10. Unlimited plan on ATT 4G. I bought a Samsung Galaxy S3, she uses a Iphone 4S. Just have to cut the card. Plan costs $45 a month per line if you do auto pay. Considering I build cellphone towers, I highly recommend sticking with either an ATT sub tier carrier or a sub-tier VZW carrier. We as an industry are just now getting into Sprint and Tmobile 4G service, so of course they are behind the other two big boys
As for guys in the St. Francisville to Natchez area...go to ATT for that area. A few years ago ATT bought Centenial wireless so they have better infrastructure there. I know, I built most of the sites

You pay for it either way. Either $649 up front, or more than that over the course of your contract.

Anyone know anything about Solavei?
All articles I've read on the company make it sound legit at least and they run off of TMobiles towers and have a nice phone selection..
Oh.. And NO contract
