I have had a LG Showtime Straight Talk phone using Verizon towers for 2 years and have good luck. Only some use Verizon towers so be sure to check before buying. A disadvantage with a Straight Talk phone is they never update the software.

I live in the new Village Osceola Hills at Soaring Eagles at the southern end of Morris Blvd, near Hwy 44. I am looking for another cell phone provider that works in The Villages other than Verizon. What else do some of you have that is good service & less expensive?

AT&T service is great but not cheap. They all seem to be too expensive these days!

Tracfone, no contract, pay as you need to, and smartphone available. 5 years now and never a dropped connection.

A couple of years ago we were in TV and I had to call AAA Road Service. I called on my iPhone 5s with Sprint and the calls were dropped at least 5 times! Really frustrating as I had to start all the information all over again! Luckily, the van was in the drive at home - south of 466A! I finally called AAA with my Mom's Tracfone and got right through! However, I do love my phone and how it syncs with my other devices.

Tracfone is $7 per month ($20 per quarter) for light users. There are deals periodically where you can buy a year service for under $100 and get a free smartphone. I saw one just yesterday on HSN.

Would that be a Cricket Wireless store or one of the stores that sells its phones/services like Gamestop?
