Straight Talk Product Review
Phones
Straight Talk offers brand new and re-conditioned smartphones. Top of the line offerings include the iPhone 4, the iPhone 5, and the Samsung Galaxy S III. More affordable options include the Blackberry Curve and multiple LG models for under $150.
Plans
Straight Talk offers six different service plans, all of which are pay-as-you-go and none of which require a contract. All plans can also be put on auto-refill, which makes these pre-paid options, for all intents and purposes, almost the same as contractual agreements. For small business owners who do a lot of traveling, we recommend the Unlimited International plan, which includes unlimited talk internationally and unlimited text and data anywhere in the U.S.
All-in-All
Straight Talk is an affordable way to get a quality mobile device; however, it isn’t the first company to do so, and its smartphones are by any means cheap. For this reason, we rate Straight Talk a 4.0/5.
