Straight Talk, the prepaid provider with 99.6 percent U.S. coverage.
Not too many prepaid cell phone providers from US have national coverage, but Straight Talk is one of the operators which can have users in 99.6 percent of the United States of America surface. Our team gives you this and other information about this company which is known as one of the most influent from the country. Of course, when it comes about cell phone prepaid services. In fact, this is, in many classifications the biggest reseller of this kind of services.
A couple of years ago, Straight Talk entered strongly the Mobile Phone market with the purpose on coming in the help of the people that want prepaid services because this way they won’t make any contractual commitments that can affect them, financially speaking, in some point. According to some reckonings, Straight Talk customers can save up to nearly 1.000 dollars a year by choosing the 45 dollars unlimited monthly plan. Still, this doesn’t seem to be the only advantage for those who want prepaid services.
Tracking the pyramid from which Straight Talk belongs, we might add this: it is a service provided by TracFone Wireless Inc., America’s largest no-contract cell phone provider, with over 25 million subscribers! TracFone Wireless is a subsidiary of América Móvil S.A.B. de C.V. ("AMX"). While AMX is the leading provider of telecommunication services in Latin America! Regarding the hypothetical savings it is fair to add some details. When we talk about the 950 dollars per year which a Straight Talk customer can save, comparing with the case in which he had a contract with any operator, is important to mention that here it is included unlimited talk, text, data and 411 service plan only, not the cost of the phone as well! Also, the unlimited 30 days unlimited plans about which we talked above doesn’t include also unlimited data of high speed! So, only 3 GB and for the rest of the month, when those are wasted, the speed decreases to 2G atleast.
