Looking at this $45 deal. 3GB of high speed data works for me but I remember hearing people here say they will fukk you over. Is it solid? I'm currently on Tmo's $30 plan but looking to expand. Thoughts?

Great service in my opinion.



Only bad thing is their phones suck. BUT with some phones you can get a Straight Talk simcard... I saw at Walmart they had the Galaxy S3 for Straight Talk.

I was with them before I went to Verizon and never had problems. If I couldn't pay the bill it would just be off until I could but that was never a case. I left to Verizon because I chose style over affordability and now I'm paying 140 a month cuz I'm in the Edge program for this Galaxy S5.

Their initial phones are trash they just now getting 4G capable phones in my area for ST.

Wait, doesn't it use ATT's network?

You can choose either AT&T or TMobile service with straight talk. I went from the $30 dollar 5GB TMobile plan to the AT&T ST and I haven't looked back. So nice not having to worry about mins and I've never got throttled. That being said I probably only use like 1-1.5GB of data a month...

What's that one? I'm looking at the Straight Talk 45 plan for unlimited everything except high speed data which is capped off at 3gb.

the service is reliable but most of the smartphones are trash. stay away from the galaxy centura. ive been using ST phones for years and i end up having to get a new phone every 6 months or so. sometimes because the phones are faulty, sometimes because i break them somehow. most of them dont have enough RAM to run multiple apps smoothly. on one the headphone jack stopped working, on my current phone (the centura) the damn thing messes up when you take it off the charger. it constantly notifies you that its charging/not charging until i take the battery out and restart it. i have to do this every single time i take it off the charger now matter how long i charge it. its annoying as hell. i want to get a new one but im waiting for one i can actually trust.

I was on Straight Talk, went to T-mobile. Same plan you on
Stay with T-mobile bruh. You getting 4G right now, Straight Talk.. I guess it depends on what phone you get?
Research that. But I had 3G, and G stands for Generation
As in, the generation of there version of internet. There is no standard (Google this if you didn't know)
So anyways, there interent is TRASH. And my phone service? shyt would go out at times
As long as a week. Customer service is trash. Worst service I ever had... but it was cheap tho
T-mobile, you can for $35 get unlimited talk/text. But your internet then turns to shyt.. like 50-100mb 4G
Maybe you get 3G after that, but I think its NONE at all :damn:
