One of the strength’s of Straight Talk Wireless’ prepaid service is the fact that its two plans run on the Verizon prepaid network.
Verizon has the strongest network in the country, so this is a definite strength for Straight Talk and helps it edge out a lot of the competition in the pay as you go market.
Straight Talk has two plans that have been winning quite a few customers over the past year or so. One is the “All You Need” $30 plan, which comes with 1,000 minutes of talk and 1,000 text messages.
The $45 Unlimited plan is extremely competitive, both in price and in what it offers subscribers. You get unlimited talk, text, web browsing, and 411 calls.

That is NOT true. Some phones run on AT&T’s network and others on T-mobile.
I was told by their own CSR that our Nokia phone runs on the ATT towers and so do the new blackberry looking lg’s
Michelle – Straight Talk is an MVNO carrier which means it piggybacks on different networks across the country. There are areas where Straight Talk gets service from Verizon’s prepaid network. Thanks for your comment anyway. The only thing that should matter to you is whether or not you get service–that’s all that matters to me
Michelle is correct. It all depends on which phone you buy. SO if all that matters is service you better buy the phone that works in your area. If the bottom left of the box says GSM its ATT. If it says CDMA its Verizon. There is also a third for T-Mobile but I don’t remember the code on the box.
What if you travel a lot and need coverage nationwide, or international for the matter?
How to figure the best option?
You guys are right, but purchasing a phone can be to work for you is another thing. I have a LG 900G. It works great in the area I live in, but does not work outside of the area. It is either “no service” or “roam.” 90 percent of the time it is “no service.” I travel and this phone does not work in many areas, but it is an AT&T certified phone so that means it will hot swap to TMobile and then it does not swap back to AT&T. In this area TMobile is one of worst carriers. I am speaking from experience and a past TMobile customer. If purchasing a phone online to travel with, go to the straight talk web site and enter the zip codes of the areas you will be in. The phones that show up for those zip codes would be the possibilities for ordering. Or, do like “B says” check the bottom of the box. I would favor Verizon.
Which is the very best all around straight talk phone for clarity and service; with the Verizon network, internet, texting, camera, video, and etc? I prefer LG or Motorola phones, but I have found they are hard to find. I have enjoyed my straight talk phone service, which I have had for over a year, although I would perfer better internet service than what this 290c gets. I fell that these phones are over priced for the limited services and time that they last, as they don’t last long enough to make up for their high cost.
