Smart Talk
Posted: Wed, 10/21/2009 - 10:59 by fishbone7Based on your post I looked into this. The actual service being offered by WalMart is called "Straight Talk". If I am reading it right it is a TracFone subsidiary based on an agreement btwn them and WalMart. It uses the Verizon network and looks like it would have excellent coverage. Users report poor customer service but good phone coverage. Both plans cap the internet usage at 30MB. My question is, will any Verizon phone work on this network? For other people who might be interested, the $30 plan is 1000 minutes talk time and 1000 minutes messaging while the $45 plan has unlimited talk time and unlimited messaging.
I can't say if a VZW device will work. I don't see why it...
Posted: Wed, 10/21/2009 - 11:24 by pyde_pypperI can't say if a VZW device will work. I don't see why it wouldn't but it would have to be programmed correctly so billing is done right. Best bet there is to call and ask them
Also fyi on the $45 plan data is not limited to 30Mb it is unlimited also. IE everything is unlimited on the $45 plan

Posted: Wed, 10/21/2009 - 11:48 by fishbone7I just checked, and according to Customer Service at Straight Talk, a Verizon phone can't be used on their service. You have to buy one of their phones. Which probably just means they won't set up an existing phone so it can be used on their service.

Then after the fairy goes away the Sub Way guy Jerry, will show up and give us all free hamburgers made out of Crayons and Thumb tacks to show us how much he cares about our hacking needs with RAZR phones.
Then he will fly away, while pooping out Cool Whip and cherry juice, as the little immigrant kids come outside holding their mother's welfare EBT cards wishing for the Obama goat from Hell to arrive with more free popsicles and waffles. THE END xD
