Does it really matter? Failing to read what I wrote, "correcting" me about what's on the website without bothering to spend 10 seconds verifying that you were correct (even after I'd cited my numbers as coming straight from their website), and then messing up your math three times in one thread isn't necessarily any more impressive than deliberately making stuff up.
Well, as Straight talk marketing shows they are using Sprint, AT&T, T-Mobile & Verizon network.
They use all kind of network.
So what's the catch?
A Straight Talk customer could be using Verizon's towers for about $40 a month... but a Verizon customer will also be using Verizon's towers but have to pay at least $80 a month.
How can that be? I never understood how an MVNO works.
One thing I've heard is that Verizon's customers get priority over any other MVNO traffic... but is that all?

Ah, you're right.
$1,609, then.
"Unlimited" plan: $45 a month
It's $40 a month if you pay by the year. I went with that, which is right on the website, too.

No, $1640. $495 * 2 + $650.
Again, fifth grade arithmetic.

No, it's $495 a year if you pay by the year, which is $41.25 a month, not $40. Again, fifth grade arithmetic.
And yes, it's right on the website:

Yes, those are three excellent reasons not to go with VZW, AT&T, or Sprint respectively.

They use all kind of network.(I am not sure they will move to their own network.. Maybe Walmart buy T-Mobile?)
You can order specific company sim card as well.(if you want ATT or T-Mobile.)
So reception itself should be there as each telecom coverage.
All 3rd party prepaid receptions are pretty good and bad. 3G speed is also so so...But it works.

Hey. Grow up. They changed it on me. It used to be 40 a month.
