    This may matter to some people. I recently had to get a new straightalk phone. I lost one. I bought a smart phone with a sim card. The transfer of my number was held up because this will be on T-Mobile's network instead of Verizon's I was told. Phones with sim cards will be T-Mobile.

    Might as well try this in the prepay phone thread too.

    I want one that's capable of this: if you turn the overall volume down, then forget to turn it back up, the ringer/incoming call volume still remains at the level you originally set it at. Basically one that has an independent/dedicated ringer volume control.

    How is the service with these prepaid providers? Used to have Tmobile which absolutely sucked in downtown Houston. Dropped calls everywhere!

    Switched to Verizon and it's alot better. Can't imagine these prepaid guys being just as good.

    Aio has LTE and runs off of AT&T's network. I would say AT&T is on par with Verizon

    This thread is about phone plans. Not phones.

    If you get an Android phone. There is an app called "Shush" that anytime you set your phone to silent or vibrate, it will ask you when you want to turn it back on automatically

    Coast to coast, Verizons stomps anyone. ATT has greatly improved its Urban and suburbia networks. They still lack in rural America.

    Good point, but in Texas AT&T stomps on Verizon in rural areas.

    Keep in mind this is just voice coverage (not data) but as you can see. Verizon is non existent in many parts of Texas.

    straight talk phones with no sim card use Verizon towers. I had to get a new straight talk phone, it just came on and it has a sim card. it uses tmobile so I hope i'm not disappointed.
