Straight Talk cell service user sound off:

“I’ve registered two phones over a period of several days with Straight Talk and have had absolutely no problems with it. I ported one number (from Verizon) and it took all of about 30 minutes to activate.

I’ve used one phone extensively over the past three days including in different areas of Florida with numerous text messages and quite a bit of internet access.

Unless something is going on that I’m unaware of, this has been the best quality process I’ve gone through and will reduce my total monthly outlay by about $50 per month (net).” Joe 11/29/2009
