Regarding the data on Straight Talk.
You can monitor your data usage on these phones and I highly suggest you check it as soon as you activate your phone because data is being constantly used and you are not using it!
I do NOT use the data at all on my phone and after only one week I had reached their 'so-called' threshold for throttling and I never used any data!
Straight Talk is heavily all hooked up with google. There were all these programs running in the background eating up all your data. I went in and disabled as many as I could that they hadn't hooked up with the actual phone usage so you couldn't disable them. :R
And btw they run even if you shut off the data tab.
Go to:
1. Settings
2. Data Usage
3. Scroll down and see all what is running eating data and they actually show you how much
4. You can go into some of them and disable them completely and others you only can disable the background usage.
