If you're looking for a cell phone, you might want to check out Straight Talk. Cell phone providers are famous for requiring customers to sign contracts every time they get new phones or change their plans. Straight Talk doesn't do that. There are NO contracts. There are NO credit checks, NO activation fees, and no surprises.
Straight Talk provides nationwide coverage at an affordable price. You could even cut your cell phone bill in half by switching. Amazing, huh? I don't know how much you're paying for your plan, but it's probably more than $45/month. I know mine is. For $45/month with Straight Talk, you can get Unlimited calls, text, picture messaging, and web. That's what I mean by no surprises - no matter how many times you Call a friend, send a text or picture message, or surf the web, you are only going to pay $45. Even 411 is included - at no extra cost. If you (or your husband) has ever called 411 to get a phone number, you know how fast those charges can add up! I'd rather use that money to go see a movie or something fun. If you don't need unlimited, they also have some options that are going to save you even more.
Straight Talk only uses trusted phone manufacturers like LG, Motorola, Kyocera, Nokia and Samsung, so you don't have to worry about getting a sub-standard phone just because you're saving money on the plan. Sure, you can get reconditioned phones for about $10 - great for people who are hard on their phones or as a first phone for your kids - but you can also get smart phones with Android on Straight Talk with features like voice navigation, camera, video recorder, music player, instant messaging, and Bluetooth®. And, since there's no contract, if you fall Hook, line and sinker in love with a new phone, you can go ahead and upgrade without that new 2-year commitment the other providers would require.
Straight Talk customers sound like a satisfied group of people. They're probably wondering why the rest of us actually have cell phone contracts.
