    FYI, Watkins has a contract with Verizon, so you can get a pretty sweet discount if you go with them. Makes Verizon a bit less costly.

    I had Sprint too. But when I bought this house I'm in now it didn't work. I'm a cheapo anyways and like bargains. I prefer a laptop or desktop when getting on the internet.

    The phones ain't the best on the market, but the cost and service is and that's StraightTalk. With $45 unlimited usage, you can't beat it. I use the $30 plan and never run out.

    You have to be careful when you buy one because they use the Verizon and ATT network. Each phone is coded. CDMA is Verizon and GSM is ATT. The box even has the code on the bottom left if you bought one at a Walmart. Each Walmart is different and the phones cost more there.

    You can buy the phones cheaper off the website, www.straighttalk.com. They have a 3G phone on sale now for $50. I would call support to make sure you got the CDMA phone though. Verizon has the best coverage.

    They sell the networks/phones by zip code which they ask. You could compare with my zip code 37332. I know it's Verizon.
