You do get a little extra with Straight Talk like free 411 calls etc. and they do have a couple of nice phones to choose from. I am switching from AT&T to Straight Talk. With unlimited talk I can get rid of our land line. I will save over 25.00 a month by ridding myself of the land line which works out to around 300 bucks a year. I do have Magic Jack as a back up cuz the deal was too good to pass up......19.95 for 2 years. I will no longer need that either. Straight talk eliminates the need for any other phone service. I will use the money I save by getting rid of my land line to pay for the early termination fee with AT&T. The major carriers like AT&T are going to have to lower their prices to compete.
I just signed up with Page Plus. I liked what I saw after I checked out their website. I figure until the iPhone comes to another carrier, I can save money by going with Page Plus Cellular for now. Not that I hated Sprint, but I like the idea of not having to watch how many day time minutes I use.
