Straight Talk Wireless makes a very bold claim on its website. The company claims that if you use Straight Talk phones, you can save $850 off of your cell phone bill over the course of the year.
Wouldn’t that be ridiculously awesome if you could save that much? I think I would buy myself a new bike or surf board or take a trip somewhere if I knew I was going to have an extra 800 bucks lying around.
It obviously depends on your current cell phone costs how much you would save using a Straight Talk phone, but it is true that both of the prepaid plans the company offers look very attractive.
For $30 a month you get 1,000 minutes and 1,000 texts.
For $45 a month, you get unlimited talk, text–AND web!!! Unlimited web browsing is what throws this plan over the edge for me, but not everyone needs to browse the web form their phone.
I like a few of Straight Talk’s phones as well, including Samsung Finesse and Samsung r355c. I also hold the RAZR in a special place in my heart–not sure why, I guess I just like the phone. There are some other pretty sweet looking phones and deals at the site. One of them is the current deal for the Nokia E71 smartphone for only $49 for a refurbished model of the phone. Pretty good phone at a very good price, even though it’s been used before.
If you’re looking for a way to save money, have a look at the prepaid phones from Straight Talk.
Straight Talk has been releasing Android phones over the past year or so, which brings a smile of delight to prepaid customers faces (at least it brings a smile to my face, that’s for sure). The latest Android prepaid phone is the LG Optimus Black, which was added to the site sort of surprisingly after word came out that the LG Optimus 2X would not indeed be released by Straight Talk. The LG Optimus Black has a lot going for it though. Read my review of the phone here.

I would love to be able to save $800 a year. To some this may not be much, but for someone struggling to pay their bills, this is truly a blessing. Not only does Straight Talk offer these incredibly priced plan options, I’ve heard their service/coverage is amazing. They use AT&T, T-Mobile, or Verizon networks depending on your model phone and the coverage available in your area.
@thrillerrocks – Did you end up getting Straight Talk? How are you liking it? Which network are you covered under? I hope you went with one of their less expensive phones to save even more money.
$800 a year is definitely worth considering! if you can get a nice smartphone upfront then you will have paid it off in about 4 months with your “savings” from switching to pre paid and then from then on it’s just money on your pocket
this definitely sounds like something worth checking out to me..
