I was reading another review written by someone who writes for NY Times blog (not necessarily the paper) and he said some good things about TracFone’s new prepaid plans you may have read about that go under the name Straight Talk.

These plans have been in the news, not only because they are very well priced, but because they are going to be sold in Wal-Mart locations across the country.  This is obviously a good thing for sales for the company.

The guy writes that Straight Talk is good for those few who are in the coverage area where service works.  I think he misinterpreted the coverage map, perhaps forgetting that these plans operate on the Verizon network, or maybe he just looked at the wrong map.

His commenters–a few of whom use the service–jump right in and correct him, though.

Read more about the Straight Talk Unlimited plan and see if it can save you money.
