I'm not a heavy talker, texter, or web browser on my phone, but I would like the option, I like freedom from contracts, am cheap as hell and like the coverage I get from AT&T. I want to try the $30/mo. 1,000 minutes/1,000 text/30MB plan from StraightTalk, with this phone: http://www.jr.com/lg/pe/LG_P509BK/ . I like the idea of being able to get a SIM card from StraightTalk, and if it doesn't work out, I could use this phone with T-Mobile as well (right...?). I really just want the most basic I can get, and seeing as how I haven't gone over 1,000 minutes OR 1,000 texts ever since having a phone, and am going to be in a place most of the time that has WiFi, I don't see too much wrong with this idea. I just wanted to run it buy the collective wisdom of others first who might have any words of warning, &c.

Zero VGS posted:It's easier to work around the 100 minutes of the other $30 plan than it is to try the 30mb poo poo. Ah ok. This is why I liked the option though, because there's the flexibility to switch between plans if I don't like what I have. Sure it would be a waste of activation fees or SIM card fees or whatever I'd have to pay, but the fact that I can get a new plan without having to worry about ETFs and contracts... The way I'm seeing it is that it's an upgrade in phones over what I have now, the cheap-o plan is probably all I'd need, and even if it's not, the ST $45/mo. plan would still save me a couple hundred dollars over 2 years (including the price of the phone) and I don't even have data right now! The beauty of no contracts! edit: On second reading what I took from your post was that maybe I should go with the T-Mobile plan to start (limit my voice minutes, not my data) and work from there. This makes sense, and is duly noted. FranklinPCombs fucked around with this message at 23:16 on Nov 15, 2012 |
