My T-Mobile contract expired a few months ago and I have been giving Straight talk a try out-seems a good way to save $$ when $50/month gets you unlimited calling, texting, and net. So far it's a little iffy-I don't have as good of reception in certain areas where I got good coverage with T-Mobile, but thats normal it seems when using 2 different carriers. And they don't actually advertise they use verizon, at least not on their boxes, calling cards, or website, or in-store displays I have seen-they do however mention that they use a "major carriers" network. I have not had much of an issue with dropped calls in good coverage areas. For me-the jury is still out on if I keep this service or not-it's saving me money, but it's also like a step backwards as far as the phone itself goes-and I got one of the more expensive phones they offer.

Only phone models ending in "C" (mostly basic phones) use Verizon. Others use AT and T or Trac Fone, hence the bad coverage. Straight Talk does not advertise that they use Verizon's or any other particular network. We use Straight Talk and it saves us a ton of money, and has acceptable coverage (we live in a rural area).
