One Straight Talk Phone Option
Straight Talk is a pay as you go, or prepaid, phone company that has some pretty good looking offers for people looking to save money on their cell phone bills. The Samsung Finesse smartphone is one choice you have if you’re looking for a Straight Talk prepaid phone.
Who isn’t looking to save money anywhere they can? Straight Talk, which is owned by TracFone (which coincidentally also owns Net10 prepaid phones), has two cheap plans. The $30 plan is for 1,000 minutes and 1,000 text messages. It’s called the All You Need plan.
The Unlimited Straight Talk plan costs $45 and lets you use all the minutes and text messages you can handle. You also get unlimited web browsing, which is a huge perk for many people these days. Many people surf the web on their phones more than they use them to communicate.
For people who spend a lot of time online, the Samsung Finesse makes a lot of sense, since it is a touch screen phone with an html browser that is really easy to use. The Finesse is also the best phone that Straight Talk has to offer right now. It’s a smartphone and has quite a bit more high end functionality than most other prepaid phone options.
One of the weaknesses in the prepaid world is the typically poor phone selection. This is changing, however, as consumers like you and me are demanding better phones to use with our phone plans. More and more high end smartphones will be available in the prepaid world. At the moment, one of the best is the Finesse.

Where to buy the Samsung Finesse
One of the questions about the Samsung Finesse is if it will win any new customers for the prepaid wireless company Straight Talk.
Straight Talk Wireless, a subsidiary of TracFone recently added the Finesse to its lineup to punch it up and entice more tech-savvy customers to consider Straight Talk’s wireless service.

Part of the appeal of the Finesse r810c is that it is a smartphone with a large touchscreen and a nice look. The phone itself has been compared to the iPhone, even though the two devices are not that similar. Samsung Finesse may encourage a lot of new signups to Straight Talk Wireless’ prepaid plans, but then again, it might not.
One of the reasons the phone might attract new people to prepaid is that it is a fun phone. It is not the most feature-rich smartphone out there, but it still has a lot more functionality than most other “prepaid” phones. Part of the problem with the pay as you go marketplace versus the postpaid marketplace is poor phone availability.
With the guaranteed money of a contract plan, a postpaid wireless company can afford to subsidize the cost of an expensive hot new cellular phone handset. In prepaid, it’s not quite the same. The customer generally has to pay for the nicer phones—if there are any available. That is the case with Straight Talk’s Samsung Finesse r810c, which invites one of the major reasons people may not be interested in this phone, although there will be plenty who can afford it.
The Finesse’s $300 cost may turn people off to the phone since the general idea with prepaid phones and plans is that they save money for customers. A nice phone is almost the antithesis of a prepaid plan. But times are changing. This smartphone, which is priced similarly to many other smartphones is meant to attract a different type of customer—not necessarily the penny-pinching prepaid user of the past.
This new customer (who may shell out $300 for the Samsung Finesse) wants a high-priced phone with more functionality. The fact that the plan is a prepaid one and saves money is really almost the second concern. Sure, price is always an issue, but this customer will spend more to have a phone they can show off and play with.
Traditional prepaid phones tend not to be that amazing. They tend to be basic but solid, which fits right into the ethos of the “pay as you go” world.
One reason people may buy the Samsung smartphone is they will recoup the expense rather quickly as the months go by. Straight Talk’s service only costs $30 or $45 per month.
Another reason is that with the unlimited plan from Straight Talk, customers are granted unlimited web browsing. Finesse has a much better web browser than any other phone offered by the wireless company and is the only one with a touchscreen. Web browsing is becoming more of a factor in cell phone purchasing decisions as the days go by.
The $30 All You Need Plan is the 1,000 minute and 1,000 text plan. The $45 Unlimited plan gives users unlimited talk time, unlimited text messages sent and received, unlimited web browsing (which will be extremely useful with the Finesse since it has a nice browser), and unlimited 411 calls.

This is a review of the new cell phone offering from Straight Talk Wireless (owned by TracFone), the Samsung Finesse r810c smartphone. It’s an easy to use and highly functional phone that has a lot of on-the-fence potential prepaid users excited and more willing to give prepaid plans a chance.
A lot of people have stayed away from prepaid due to poor phone choices. Well, now that’s changed and these people can begin to save money with prepaid and have a phone they enjoy using.
The Finesse runs on either of Straight Talk’s prepaid phone plans.
The Unlimited plan costs $45 and includes unlimited service for voice, text, and web browsing. The All You Need plan costs $30 and includes the use of 1,000 minutes of talk time and the same amount of text messages.
Find all the details of this phone online at the official Straight Talk website, www.straighttalk.com.
Through Straight Talk, the Finesse costs $373.00 with the Unlimited plan, which is probably the one you want to go with since it provides users with unlimited voice, text, and data. It’s a very good deal and if you opt for the Samsung Finesse, which is a higher end model (which you probably can tell from the price), you will have a very nice smartphone.
The price above includes the first month of unlimited prepaid service. Each successive month will cost $45, which is very affordable in terms of cell phone plans, and really cheap compared to other unlimited plans.
You can also opt for the $30 “All You Need” plan with the Finesse if you will use no more than 1,000 minutes, 1,000 text messages, and 30 mb of data. This is a very good plan as well and has ample minutes that should satisfy most cell phone users. It’s called the “All You Need” plan for a reason. The overall price goes down with the selection of this plan to $358 for the phone and the first month’s service.
A couple of exciting things about Straight Talk are that the service runs on Verizon’s network, which is one of the strongest if not the strongest in the country, and 411 calls are free–on both plans.
If you are looking for a prepaid plan because you want to save money, Straight Talk Wireless probably is the best company to look at presently. There is some competition from wireless providers like Boost Mobile and MetroPCS, but they really don’t compare when you factor in the Verizon network, the pricing, phone choices, and overall features.
There is no other company offering deals this good. Also, if you want a higher end phone (because let’s face it, they’re more fun), then have a look at Samsung Finesse r810, which is the best smartphone in the prepaid market.
