I played with the iPhone at an AT&T store the day after it came out for about 15 minutes. My only gripes are the virtual keyboard, the choice of network (leaving you with slow data while not using WiFi) and the fact that you have to hack the phone to expand it. There are other things, like the lack of stereo Bluetooth, the lack of voice dialing and the sparsity of YouTube videos available in the iPhone format (which will change), but my first nitpicks are the biggest ones, and are shared with lots of various reviewers. The iPhone is cool, but I bought another smartphone from a different carrier in the end.
I bought it and love it. Changed the way i do my business on a daily basis. I’m going to buy a pre-paid i phone for my daughter.
This phone was okay, but i had to get another one because the first one i got didn’t work!!!
The phone is okay — but the service and support is terrible. The reps cannot answer any questions and the billing has been messed up every month. Go with another carrier — seniors are more savvy than this phone!
i need prepaid phone , just the telephone that use with calling card only
Hope they get a handle on all this. Thanks for the post.
Ummm….. i just want to know how must would it cost if i get this blue phone and i need to know if it could run by days and not mintues and if you can get free text messageing and when you get this message can you please report back to me on yahoo.com just send me your message on yahoo.com please.
I am interested in buying the Sanyo Katana. I would like to know how and where this phone can be purchased. Thank you!!!

If I buy this phone with pre-paid minutes, how do I go about buying extra minutes after I use the current ones.
Thank you.
I need an instruction book for my Lg 125. Where can I buy one?
How to made an Initial Activation?
Cricket wireless is a an excellent company.I had their service for the past 3 months and I don’t have not even 1 single complain against their service.
If i have a cell phones with no minutes on it and it was a verizon cell phone, can i put minutes for a tracfone on the phone that was a verizon??:)
Verizon’s biggest attraction is their network. It really is one of the most dependable out there and its why they have many long-term customers.
This is especially helpful during these times or a worsening economy where people are trying to scale back living expenses as much as they can. Prepaid is a great way to go because you have more control and it is not set in stone how many minutes you need to use and pay for each month.
Will I loose the minutes accumulated on my old phone if I purchase a new one. My phone is outdated.
Wiil I loose my accumulated air minutes on my old phone if I purchase a new phone

While I’m pleased to see a qwerty phone in the lineup, I’m sorry to say that that’s one super ugly phone….sorry Boost….Maybe at $49.99 (max) it would be tolerable, but at that price point, I’m a little embarrassed for them. Please don’t take this the wrong way as I don’t like to be negative, but yuck….sorry! I’m curious know hear what others think!
Compare that to these other devices available from prepaid carriers: http://www.prepaid-wireless-guide.com/prepaid-mobile-email.html

This is very impressive but I don’t think $30 is the new $50 because quite frankly, Straight Talk is not gunning for the unlimited market, they are shooting for a closely related but different market, the average to heavy user group.
According to polls, the average adult user consumes about 700 plus minutes a month. The average flatrate unlimited user burns about 1700. This is a huge difference. 1000 is a lot but isn’t anywhere near unlimited, and not even near 1700.
Att gave Tracfone an unlimited deal on Net10, though at the $80 price point (back when that was a deal compared to the $100 Big four unlimited deals a year ago. Today, that’s too expensive in the prepaid unlimited market with $50 being the benchmark).
Verizon gave Trac a good if not unlimited deal. By staying away from the dreaded possibility of devaluing Verizon airtime by giving away “unlimited” amounts of minutes, they have avoided the stigma of a cut rate bargain basement service and at the same time have quantified at a low but definite price to quantity cap.
As cheap as they are, these Verizon minutes still have a quantifiable value , unlike the unlimited plans.
Btw, a check has shown that the network being offered by Verizon is a tier 3 version of their much vaunted network. It is NOT the same network offered to their prepaid plan or Page Plus.
Their Tier system goes like this. 1)The full Verizon postpaid network with full roaming included without exttra charge. 2) The Post Alltel merger prepaid Verizon network/Page Plus. The overall coverage is the same as tier one but roaming is not free, it is 20 cents a minute (MUCH better then their old 69c a minute rate).
3)Tier 3. The Straight Talk network. This is the OLD version of the Verizon prepaid/Page Plus network. It has NO roaming and has significant gaps in down the middle of the country because it also does not add the Alltel merger coverage like Tier does.
The coverage map used by Straight Talk was checked against the current Verizon Prepaid map. ST has obviously less coverage which is exacerbated by the complete lack of any roaming option. But it can still hold its own against other prepaid contenders like Boost Mobile, Virgin Mobile, Att Gophone and others.
A Tier 3 version of the Verizon network is STILL a contender, albeit a light heavyweight, not a full one.
Tracfone and Net10 with their multiple carrier approach have way beter overall coverage then ST, but then again, I don’t think Trac or Net10 users are meant to be the target of ST. ST is looking for its own market. When you combine the largest prepaid Mvno in America with the Biggest overall wireless carrier and the biggest retailer, there are going to be some major prepaid celluar waves.
Since Verizon’s post-Alltel coverage is still quite new, Tracfone likely neglected to add it into their Straight Talk map. We’ll be confirming this soon. It just doesn’t make any sense why Verizon would bar Tracfone from using its own towers to provide service, even if those towers were Alltel a few months ago.
This is corroborated by Page Plus’s coverage map; it isn’t updated for post-merger coverage either. Will Page Plus get Alltel coverage once the system switches to Verizon? Absolutely. So will Tracfone, no matter what folks on HowardForums may speculate.

Great tips. I don’t get what is great in iPhone that every person I know have or wants to have it. I am okay with my phone a Sumsung U600.
I would be very careful about Straight Talk. In theory it sounds fairly good but in practice it has been a nightmare. It took 4 days to port a number and I can make and recieve calls and text messages. However, I still cannot browse the web and dialing 611 for customer service gives you Verizon instead of Straight Talk. Their customer service reps (offshore) do a whole lot of messing about and thanking you for using Straight Talk. Maybe these are growing pains but I think I’ll let these guys go once I use up my minutes.

Does this phone drop calls like Metro PCS.?
Good characterization of their data plans. Over time I expect pricing across all players to evolve, and I will continue to update them here:

I think it’s a fabulous deal and ordered mine online.
If there’s a problem, I’ll let you guys know but I’ve used Tracfone and their affiliate Net10 and have been quite satisfied in the past.
I really like the 1000 minutes for $30 deal and 1000 texts as a bonus is great too.
God Bless and Thanks!
Bought the Razr and activated it without any problems. After a couple of days I decided to port my T-Mobile number. When you port your number you MUST get a new 30 day card. You LOSE ANY MINUTES REMAINING. So……either you wait until most of the 30 days are used and pay both carriers or pay $30.00 to purchase a new straight talk card. Their explanation is,”The phone number goes with the card. If you change (port) a number, there is no way to transfer any remaining minutes.” I call it RIPOFF!!!!!!

This is awesome! I got my husband the $30 Straightalk plan for 1000 minutes/1000 text for fathr’s day, but this is definitely better. I’m paying $85 w/ AT&T contract for 1000 min and 200 texts, though my contract’s already expired. I’m swiching to this plan immediately – it doesn’t make sense to renew contract or stay w/ a provider that really doesn’t work w/ the consumer. So far the TracFone I bought has worked flawlessly, so I think it’s a smart move. Question – is this plan available in all US cities? I now the $30 plan was limited to certain states.
