Compare and contrast Straight Talk to Net 10.....

WE have ST phones and HS and are pleased with price and service. Use phones daily and HS only when camping. No experience with Net 10.

I can't compare them, but we have had a Straight Talk phone for over 5 years and have not had any problems with it. The only time we don't have service is in eastern Kentucky and we only go there once or twice a year for a few hours. We found a 10-12 mile stretch of I-81 in West Virginia that we didn't have service, but as soon as we crossed into MD, we had service again.

I have a Samsung Galaxy and DH has an Iphone and we have great service even though we only have 3G. It's a non-issue with us.

I transitioned my Millenicom hotspot to Verizon direct at $100/mo. For our usage, that's cheaper than Straight Talk, even with the $10/mo increase over Millenicom's rate. We typically use 23-24GB/mo, and our Verizon plan costs $5/GB for the first 20GB, and $8/GB over that. Straight Talk's cheapest rate is $10/GB. I am keeping my Straight Talk UMX 3G hotspot around though, for use as an emergency spare if something happens to my Verizon 4620LE hotspot.

Here is a thread from a few months ago. This question about Straight talk, AT&T, Millenicom and Verizon hotspots has been asked numerous times, so there are all sorts of threads about them. This is just one of them.
