Could I have chosen which provider? :S
The provider is determined by the phone that you choose. In the Straigh Talk branded phones, a model number that ends with 'C' will use Verizon (CDMA) and the models that end with 'G' will use AT&T (GMS). BUT there are some exceptions to this - some models use T-Mobile or Sprint network. If you find a phone that you like the 'Howard Forum" usually can give information for each model phone.
I no longer use Straight Talk, but while I did, I kept 2 phones - one that used Verizon and the other AT&T. Once you have added each phone to your Straight Talk account, it only takes a few minutes to login to the web page and transfer your number to the other phone. I swapped phones as needed depending on where I traveled. The 1st time I swapped from Verizon to AT&T it took about 2 hours for the AT&T phone to become active after the Verizon went dead. After that it never took more than 15 minutes to change in either direction.
