    Anybody have Straight Talk?

    Verizon keeps ass raping me every month so I have decided to spend my money elsewhere. I was trollin wal mart and I found this new banner in the electronics department that had straight talk on it. I checked it out and spoke with a person working that dept and she told me they run off verizon towers. So im like hellz yea 45 bones a month unlimited everything on Verizon towers is ballin. So as of right now I am thinking about buying one of the phones and trying it out for a month and if I like it I am going to cancel verizon and tell them to suck the money out of somebody elses wallet. No contracts or anything and it will end up saving me 40 bones a month. Does anybody have one of these phones? Can you use the tracfone phones with straight talk since its a company of tracfone? They are like 10 bones at wal mart and I can buy a brand new one every month for less than that I am paying Verizon. Need input today!

          My brother has it. He has service everywhere it seems. And yeah, 45 for unlimited talk, text, and web. If I could convert my iPhone, I'd do it

                Im glad that it isnt like boost. I had a boost company phone once and I never got a signal anywhere and neither did my co workers.

                  what a deal. i just think it's fawking awesome. eventually PAYG phones will be the norm, they're already the rage. no contract bullshit to deal with, if you break it with no insurance, it's okay because the floor retail on the phone isn't fucking 400 bucks lol. then you can go buy a new one for $100, and activate it. And $45 a month for unlimited everything well you just can't beat that at all really

                    You cant beat it at all. But I was wondering if the base model tracfones works because they are 10 bones vs the $40 straight talk phones.

                      Straight Talk runs off Verizon towers so you'll still be giving your money to the V anyways bro.

                      Also, straight talk phones are garbage. Always broken, breaking, cracking or just not working. I sold lots of them at Walmart when I worked in electronics and usually people bitched about them.

                      I say stay away bro... But equally I have no other solution for you so.. sorry...

                          I just dont wanna be giving my 80 something a month to them. And hell if the phone breaks, ill just go buy a new one. THEY ALL break except the Casio phones. Well I take that back I broke mine last night but it had all the right in the world to break.
