Before that I had an old, used iPhone 4 and before that a phone I bought through StraightTalk that was a cheap Smart phone.
It's a lot better than what I've seen with other phone providers and the service is fine. Mine uses Verizon towers which are the only ones that work here but I think they change it out wherever you live.

Hi!
Thank you so much for sharing this info.
I have a Walmart bag right here near me. It contains a Straight Talk phone and a plan. Yes, you are right on! I had then spent some time trying to discern the differences between TracFone and StraightTalk. That took a fair amount of reading.
I have found out that I cannot import my telephone number because H owns the account that owns the numbers. He has agreed to meet me sometime next week in order to release my phone number.
I have done more research and have found out that the local Verizon will give a prepaid plan as cheap as TracFone and/or StraightTalk, as far as I can see.
I want to mention 2 other options:
-- There is a company named "cricket" and their plans are great. They are especially great for multiple lines. One of my docs gets 4 lines for $100./month, unlimited data, texts, talk on each, no taxes added to the price (taxes included). She says they use AT&T towers in this area. I am not sure of what they use elsewhere. She loves her service.
-- The HSN2 (Home Shopping Network 2) has been offering a great special on TracFone, both a great phone and a full year of service. They have some other things they include in the deal they offer. It is an amazing offer. It is under $75.00 for the complete package. I had tried to get the direct TracFone site to match their deal and they could not do so.
Lots of choices!
I agree, OverTheRainbow, StraighTalk has some great deals!
The also have some refurbished phones at great low prices!
Thanks so much, OverTheRainbow!
