works GREAT
so I have looked at Straightalk since the beginning of Nov. and then found this site and a couple of others and read the horror stories. I decided I was fed up with paying $65 for the minimum minutes and text with Verizon and decided to try this out. I talked to someone in the electronice dept at Walmart that actually had some answers and purchased the R451C. I came home and charged the phone still considering backing out before activation. I decided to activate it late Sat night so if I had problems I'd have a day or two before I really needed the phone anyway. Signed up online with no problems. I was out of my contract, had my previous bill in front of me and signed up for $45 package. It said wait 5 minutes and try the phone, I gave them 10 minutes and everything worked!! Phone coverage in my house was better than my previous Verizon phone, text and web worked immediately with no problems.
It's true it isn't a "smartphone" but it does do exactly what I need it to do, make calls and text. I'll use the slow web browser and not complain. I'm planning on telling all that want to listen that this is a Great deal! Just wanted to give a bit of hope for the ones who were skeptical like I was.
Unlimited
It is outstanding that Straight Talk beats all the contract providers with the $45 monthly Unlimited everything plan.
What is fantastic about Straight Talk is that it runs through Verizons network so it is really the best coverage.
I also prefer prepaid as there are no bills or cancellation fees.
picture
can you get picture messages on straight talk phones?
Re:picture
All of the Straight Talk phones with the exception of the LG 200C is capable of picture messaging. The Samsung R451C is probably the most popular phones with this feature.
Call/text detailed billing?
Is there any way to view online a detail of your calls or text? I don't want to dispute usage or anything but if I needed to find a number I had lost or needed to show proof of a call or text I had made or recieved.
Re:detailed billing
Typically, prepaid plans such as this do not provide such detailed billing unless it is some sort of legal issue. They will only do this when law enforcement requests them.
taxes and fees
Are the "applicable taxes and fees" to the $30/$45 plans the same $13 to $16 that most all cell phone plans charge on top of the advertised plan amount?
Re:taxes and fees
Those are all "baked in" so to speak. You do have to pay your local sales tax when you buy the cards though.
Voicemail
I'm a new Straight Talk customer with an LG290C phone. Is it possible to retrieve Straight Talk voicemail from a non-Straight Talk phone (such as from a "land line" phone)?
re: Voicemail
Yes, you should be able to do so by following the Verizon instructions below:
To access your voice mailbox (while roaming off- network or from any phone):
1. Dial your mobile number.
2. Press # to interrupt the greeting and follow the prompts to enter your password and retrieve messages.
While listening to a message, press:
1 = Rewind 6 = Faster
1 - 1 = Rewind to beginning of message 7 = Delete Message*
2 = Pause 9 = Save Message*
3 = Fast Forward * = Cancel/Exit
3- 3 = Fast Forward to end of message 0 = Help
4 = Slower # = Finish/Skip
5 = Envelope Info (date/time message was sent)
After listening to a message, press:
6 = Forward
7 = Delete
8 = Reply**
9 = Save
0 = Help
