Feel Richer with Android from Straight Talk

The getting richer effect has expanded... by LittleBard95



I don’t like the idea of having a contract and being restricted to a certain cell phone plan.  That was one of the reasons I decided to use a prepaid cell phone when I got here to the US five years ago.  I did not want to go through the same frustrations that my hubby had gone through with his cell phone service provider.  He often got charged for phone calls that were supposed to be free.  To add insult to injury, when he ended the service long after the contract had ran out, they kept taking money out of his bank account. 



My hubby and I don’t have a current working cell phone because we don’t have the need for one, especially now that my hubby is retired and I work out of our home.  Our car has a built-in phone so when we travel we can call anywhere we like. 



If you don’t want to be restricted to a cell phone contract, check out Straight Talk.  Not only can you get a cell phone without a contract, you will also be able to cut your phone bill in half.  You get great nationwide coverage and excellent connectivity. 



Straight Talk has all the applications and games that you need.  All of their smart phones have smart plans and with Straight Talk, you can get everything that you need in a cell phone without a contract.  If I do decide to get a new cell phone, I want an Android.  For only $45 a month I get unlimited use and I Feel Richer with Android from Straight Talk.  I will be able to take advantage of all the great features that The power of Android phones have.



The Straight Talk “All You Need” plan meets the needs of heavy phone users.  The plan includes 1,000 minutes and 1,000 texts with 30 MB of web data.  This unlimited monthly service is only $45 which includes calls, text, picture messaging and web.  411 calls are also included at no extra charge.  Since there are no activation and reactivation fees, there is no termination fee as well. 



Straight Talk also has international long distance service.  It is a flexible prepaid calling service that enables you to make international calls from your home, cell or office phone at low rates.  That sounds appealing to me.  I need to check it out further.



For as low as $10, you can get reconditioned phones with camera, mp3 player, mobile web access and blue tooth capability from Straight Talk.  These kinds of phones are great for young users.
