Straight Talk

We used to have AT&T as our cell phone carrier. We were on the go phone plan. We decided to switch to Straight Talk because we were told they operated off Verizon and AT&T's cell phone towers, and it was going to save us a lot of money. We are currently on the $45 a month unlimited talk, text and data (for national calling, there is a different plan for international calling). The $45 a month plan also includes unlimited calling to 411 (information). The total we pay per phone, per month, after tax is $48.46.


When we were in the process of activating our phones we had to speak to someone at Straight Talk for assistance, they were very helpful. If you want to keep your same phone number you need to make sure you have your account number from our current cell phone provider, so that Straight Talk can get your number from them. When we switched to straight talk we kept our same phones, and phone numbers.

I also wanted to add in here that we were using iphones on the AT&T go-phone plan. Wanted to state that because we were told by AT&T that the smartphones wouldn't work on the go-phone plan, and that was a lie.

You can keep your current phone. Click here to make sure it is compatible with Straight Talk. If you are currently using a sim then you need to buy a sim from Straight Talk to put in your phone (currently $6.99 with free shipping). If your phone doesn't use a sim then you have to purchase a access code (currently $14.99).

If you are not interested in keeping your same phone or number then you can buy a new one. There are a lot of great deals on phones at Walmart.com.
