IF you get it to work..
and they bust you..
they cancel your service and your phone #, i've been told you can't even port the number
with an android smart phone
you can do email and these forums and web browsing
you don't need to tether
small touch screen is not as convenient as a pc display and keyboard, but it works, i've done it lots
besides you can get a BT or usb tablet type keyboard to use with the phone
they can tell when the PC is accessing websites for viral updates or MS updates etc.. video streaming..so forth
better to get a hotspot device for PC wifi access to the web
straight talk is very stringent about the way the supplied data is used
