- Straight Talk uses both GSM and CDMA phones. A GSM phone will most likely use AT&T and CDMA most likely Verizon. Depending on what carrier you prefer make sure you purchase the correct phone.
- Straight Talk is strictly on Verizon towers, NO partners or roaming.....NOT a good deal.
- PagePlusCellular has a similar plan with unlimited talk/text, but provides 5G of data for the same price of $70 month. They're exclusively on Verizon, and can bring your own phone including iPhone4. You can also opt for PAYGO for about 0.06-0.10 per minute.

Apparently, StraightTalk now offers a $45. month unlimited talk/text/data plan on the Verizon Network when you bring your own phone. There is an initial $15. access code fee. Similar to PPC, you can only register 3G data phones. - Hi,
This thread was intended for VOICE not for data. For (big) Data, if you are not grandfathered in, the best bang for the buck remains Millenicom. - I was comparing it to by existing plan, unlimited date grandfathered in, 700 minutes of talk no text. their talk text plan with one gig data is 70 dollars. go to 4gb and it is the exact same as Verizon charges.
- Verizon charges me 49.95 per month for 5GB of data tethering my old Motorola W755. I don't see anything there that compares.
Jim - The one thing to watch for is, are you allowed to use the "entire Verizon Network", including their partner towers and their leased towers? If so then it is a good deal, if you are restricted to the Verizon towers ONLY, then it's not such a good deal....That'd what makes Millenicom data such a good deal, you are part of the entire Verizon network, so it effectively adds about 25% more coverage to your plan.
- Hi donn,
I don't think verizon has a $6.00 per month option. - Other than no contract that is just about the same price Verizon is charging. I see no bargains there.
