Straight Talk

Sooooo, I decided to get my kids the "Straight Talk" phones from Walmart. The phones cost $29.99 and there are 2 plans to chose from 1) $30 for 1000 minutes and 1000 texts or 2) $45 for unlimited minutes and text and 30MB of data. They use Verizon towers but don't have roaming available. I picked the unlimited plans because my daughter can talk and text til the sun comes up! There are NO contracts which is great if they happen to lose a phone.
On our drive to WA, my phone with Sprint was random in many places while my kids phones were getting service the entire way here. I will be switching since my TWO year contract was up in June and this "unlimited" plan is $30 cheaper a month and better coverage than my provider.
They have 3 phones - they range in $29 to $99 range.
Two big thumbs up from this consumer!
