I am tired of the cell phone contracts that I have with Sprint. They keep increasing the rates and the if I want to switch to an unlimited plan, it costs a lot more. My contract is up for renewal and I am going to switch to Straigh Talk! I shopped around a lot of others who provide a no contract service but most of them do not have the phone selection I am looking for. I like Straight Talk and I have my eye ona couple of phones they have. They have an unlimited minutes, messages and Data plan for $45 which sound pretty good to me. I am a little concerned about their coverage but I think all these companies are really owned by one of the big cell providers and they are in thier network anyways.

Here is some information about Straight Talk from their site…

Straight Talk is a brand of TracFone Wireless Inc., one of the largest wireless providers in the US. Straight Talk provides reliable Nationwide
