Samsung Finesse, Straight Talk’s No Contract Smartphone
Posted by admin in samsung finesse, straight talk on February 19, 2010
Straight Talk is becoming more and more well known for its ridiculously cheap prepaid plans. There is a pretty good selection of different handsets for use with the cellular plans available from this company, which sells its wares in Wal-Mart as well as online (online tends to have a better selection).
Probably the best phone you can buy with your Straight Talk plan is the Samsung Finesse r810c, a smartphone with a touch screen and a good deal of high end functionality. The biggest selling point of this phone–and indeed any of the phones on any prepaid plan–is that with the purchase and use of this phone, you have no contract with a wireless company.
When you buy a Straight Talk plan with the Samsung Finesse, there is no obligation to stay with the service and you will never have to pay a termination fee. There is no contract, and in addition, there is no data package that you have to purchase, since the plans already come with them.
And if you spring for the $45 per month Unlimited plan, you will have unlimited web browsing, unlimited talk, and you will be able to send as many text messages as you like. Those who don’t need as many minutes or web browsing time on their phones can opt for the $30 1,000 minute, 1,000 text plan and be just fine.
Straight Talk is delivering the goods with its prepaid plans. Check availability of Samsung Finesse and these prepaid plans at the Straight Talk website.

Jitterbug J

The Jitterbug J definitely follows in this tradition, but there are some improvements to the phone that also make it more attractive to a wider audience of cell phone users. The “J” is a step into the middle of the market and may help Jitterbug gain a larger audience. Read a short review of this “comfy” cell phone option.

How to Get the Best Prepaid Deal

Finding Great Deals on Prepaid and Contract Cellular Plans
There are many ways to cut back and streamline your life in these times of economic hardship. One thing that many people are doing is changing there cell phone plans to lower minutes per month and therefore lower cost per month. Some are eliminating their home landlines altogether.
Still other are even switching over to prepaid phones as a way to have more control over their cell phone usage and charges and to essentially “pay as they go.” Prepaid can be a very good way to save money on your bills if your wireless usage habits fit with the overall plan you select. That is to say, you should be prepared by knowing what you are signing up for, which may not be as huge a deal with prepaid because you have no contract. However, you can get hit with costly minutes charges or text charges if you are not careful and do not know the terms of service.
The first thing you want to do is assess your phone habits by looking at your bills from the previous months. You will notice patterns. When I recently did this, I looked at my phone bills and saw I was paying for 700 minutes per month, while only using 250. That’s ridiculous. Once you see the patterns or your usage over the months, you will be able to select a better prepaid phone plan or you may opt for a monthly contract plan.
There’s an interesting article about how to get the best cell phone deal. It is specifically for a UK audience as you will notice the mentioning of pounds and the focus on Vodafone and Virgin Mobile (which operates in the US as well), but it has some good advice for anybody who recently got out of their contract or is trying to find the best deal out there.
