Save Money on Your Cell Phone Plan With Straight Talk

Samsung R451C

Are you like I was? Tired of paying high prices for cell phone service? Oh, the service itself was great. My cell phone bill for two phones, one with an unlimited use plan and one with very limited use plan, was almost $300 a month, every month.  As I mentioned, the service was great, but being the frugal person that I am, I wanted a good cell phone service plan but didn’t want anymore of the high cost of having it. And I wanted a good phone with a querty keyboard for ease of texting, not some yucky cheap cell phone just to save money.

A family member discovered Straight Talk, and after seeing how well it worked and how nice the cell phones are, I was sold.  I paid a cancellation fee of $95 for one cell phone and $135 for the other (for the Verzon contract I was on), bought two Straight Talk cell phones for $100 each and two unlimted cards for $45 each.  After the first month of having to buy the phones, we have two cell phones running off Verizon towers (our previous provider) for less than $100 a month … a savings of almost $200 a month for even more cell phone service than when we were with Verizon!

Here’s what’s cool about Straight Talk, besides the huge money savings. There’s no contract!  You can get an umlimted plan card every 30 days for $45, or you can pay ahead so you don’t have to renew every month. You can keep your current number!  With the $45 unlimited card, you get unlimited minutes, unlimited texts, unlimited mobile access (aka get on the web). You can renew online without having to buy a card or you can buy a card. There are two versions of the Straight Talk cell phone… working off either ATT towers or Verizon towers. So if you have ATT service now, this will work for you. If you have Verizon now, this will work for you.  If you are new to cell phone and have no previous cell phone service, this cell phone will work for you! This cell phone service will work anywhere you are!

Think of how much money you can save on your cell phone service every month… every year! For me, going from almost $300 a month to less than $100 a month, for even more service than before, we are saving almost $200 a month… that’s almost $2,400 a year! 

I can honestly say that as much as I loved the service from Verizon (NOT the prices!!), I love Straight Talk more AND I am saving SO much money every month!

Here are some of the Straight Talk cell phones you can get, along with getting the cell phone service.  If you want less than the unlimited plan for $45 a month, you can get limited for $30 a month (you can change that anytine by just buying the $45 card!). The $30 limited plan gives you 1000 minutes, 1000 texts, and 30mb of mobile access (the web).
