I actually opted for the $35 a month Straight Talk plan. I thought I'd try it out and if it wasn't enough I'd change to the $45 a month unlimited plan that @dollywog42 talks about. Well, I get 1000 minutes and 1000 messages a month and it is seriously more than enough. I am really happy with my choice and am saving a LOT of money compared to when I was on a contract plan! :)

I don't use my phone enough to go with Straight Talk so I'll just stick to big daddy---Tracfone as Ive been with them for years! I get double the minutes I paid for when I get airtime, national coverage, free incoming texts and calls to overseas at the same cost as local calls! Suits me just fine!

So we're all agreed then? Straight Talk is the only way to go? I sure think so, I mean, come on, $45 dollars a month for unlimited talking and text messaging. Tell me something that beats that deal!

i think i found the perfect plan for me...i found straight talk at walmart. got the unlimited plan for $45 a month, which gives me unlimited talk, text and data, free 411 calls, no roaming fees, and most important of all the option to opt out any time i feel the need, without any cancellation fees.i am a so called frequent cell phone user and have not found any better value for money. straight talk does it for me.

nice try to help, i found the best deal ever, i found the new net10 unlimited plan. for $50 a month i get unlimited talk, text, email and web access, nationwide coverage with no roaming fees and no worries about huge bills at month end. my partner travels a lot for his job, and it is great that i can now chat to him whenever i feel like it, for however long i like without having to worry about overage fees. i pay $50 a month. that's it. him and me, we are both in a happy place thanks to net10

appreciate the try to help. i found the perfect deal for myself, using my phone a lot for talking. i got myself the Straight Talk unlimted plan for $45 a month and love it to pieces. i can talk to my husband who has to travel a lot on this unlimted plan with no extra charges for long distance without getting interrupted by dropped calls.i get unlimted talk, text and web access and could not be happier. with the contract i never new how much my bill would be. nasty surprise at times. no more...

Nothing beats Straight Talk...national coverage on Verizon...great phones...and a $45.00 per month plan giving you unlimited calling, texting and web access which is a great budget beater!
