Default Straight talk

Last week going back up to Georgia with the new Verizon service I had service the whole way with NO dead spots and rarely got BELOW 3 bars on my phone.

I hope any one having good luck thus far continues to have no issues. If you ever have to turn in your phone for some reason you may get a taste of the issues I outlined in the original post. The 2445 complaints logged on BBB.com verified there are plenty of issues with this company.

I now pay $60.00 per month with unlimited Text, Talk and 1gb of Data. It would have been $50.00 IF I already had Verizon on their Loyalty program. My kids have that price since they have been with Verizon for a while. The last 6 days with the new phone and Verizon service is SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER than Straight Talk ever was.
Been with Straight Talk for about 2 years and have never had even one problem, so I can't comment on customer service, etc. I bought a phone that works off of Verizon towers and always have excellent service in The Villages as well as frequent traveling.
