Verizon and TracFone Together with Straight Talk Prepaid
Posted by admin in samsung finesse, straight talk prepaid phones on February 14, 2010
I guess you could add another big name onto the list in the title of this post: Wal-Mart. Since Straight Talk Wireless phones and plans are on sale at the big name retailer, you can see how these plans are a force to be reckoned with.
TracFone owns Straight Talk, which runs on the very strong Verizon network, and which are sold online at Straight Talk’s website. A lot of pay as you go companies don’t have the best wireless networks, which can cause problems for their user base. This is not a problem for this company since they have a partnership with Verizon Wireless.
There are two plans and several cell phones to choose from. Two of the more prominent phones are the Samsung R451C and the Samsung Finesse.

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?
Wal-Mart Prepaid Phone Plans by Straight Talk (TracFone)
Posted by admin in tracfone straight talk on October 26, 2009
If you’ve been paying attention to news in the prepaid phone plan world, then you may have heard that the Wal-Mart, the largest retailer in the country, now will be selling its own version of prepaid phones.
It’s a great headline and it’s true that since the company is backing the phone plans that they will be successful, but the plans aren’t exactly proprietary to Wal-Mart.
The prepaid plans at issue are under the brand Straight Talk, which is owned by TracFone. Truly, the two plans offered under the Straight Talk banner are very good plans and may be better options for many cell phone users out there.
The plans, like most pay as you go services, require no signed contract, no termination fees, and no real commitment other than the money customers have to pay for the actual phone handset and the monthly bill.
One is for 1,000 minutes and 1,000 text messages, with 30 MB of data for web surfing from the phone. This plan costs $30.
The second plan, which is getting really good reviews, is the Unlimited plan. Subscribers receive unlimited talk time texting and–in a recent addition to the plan–unlimited web browsing. This plan goes for $45 per month.
Both plans also come with free information (411) calls and run on a Mobile Virtual Network provided by Verizon.
People looking for prepaid deals might want to look at these plans first, which can be purchased online at straight talk’s website or in Wal-Mart locations across the country.
