Straight Talk Wireless Runs on Verizon’s Network
Posted by admin in straight talk, verizon wireless on February 16, 2010
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.

Verizon Has Droid, Still Wants iPhone
Posted by admin in verizon wireless on October 26, 2009
You may have seen some of the Droid commercials, aka the “iDon’t” ads that attacked the iPhone head-on. It may surprise you that Verizon Wireless still wants to get in on the iPhone craze. I would be all for it, considering Veirzon’s network coverage is superb in many parts of the country, while AT&T is, well, AT&.
The CEO of Verizon recently said the company would be interested in selling the wildly popular and culturally iconic smartphone any time in the future, that is, if Mr. Steve Jobs would ever give his blessing. Further quoted in an NY Times article, he said the decision is “exclusively in Apple’s court.”
But Verizon has other things going on. The new BlackBerry Storm 2 is coming, and of course, it’s quite busy ramping up its efforts with Droid smartphones that will openly compete with iPhone and run on Google’s Android 2.0 software. Here’s the news. Verizon wants the iPhone. Who wouldn’t?
Verizon Promotes Prepaid Wireless Service in Fun Way
Posted by admin in verizon wireless on June 29, 2009
According to Prepaid Reviews, Verizon wireless is promoting its prepaid phone services in a fun way. Verizon hired a fleet of cabs in New York City to give people $.99 rides. In a tough economy, this is one way to get people’s attention–give them something.
Next up, Verizon will be giving away Mr. Softee ice cream for $.99. These guys know how to party don’t they. This is a great way to get people to talk about your product, however, I don’t see many people switching to Verizon’s prepaid wireless services just as a result of a goodwill campaign such as this. But then again, Verizon is a huge company with vast resources, so this is just a very minor part in its campaign to own a tiny little piece of the consumer mind.
Sounds scary, doesn’t it? When “V” is ready to make a major prepaid play, I’m sure it will be ready.
