My family has two StraightTalk phones. We love them! StraightTalk uses AT&T, Verizon and Sprint networks. Phones with model numbers that end in "C" are Verizon phones. Model numbers that end in "G" are AT&T phones. Their Android phones are Sprint.
They are now selling SIM cards so you can bring your own GSM phone. For some reason, they do not allow Blackberries. If you want a Verizon phone, enter a zip code for a city that doesn't have good AT&T coverage when you are on the StraightTalk web site (Fargo, ND is good). It will warn you that your usage area is different than your shipping zip, but it will still work. The only thing I've found negative is that my AT&T microcell won't let my daughter's ST GSM phone connect, even though it is a 3G model. I've seen lots of reports on the Internet where people have gotten 3G ST phones to connect, but no joy in my case.

For how long? How is it performing?

I've got 3 phones on the plan. Me and my wife both have iPhones and my daughter just has a regular phone (no data plan), but wants an iPhone. My wife's contract has another 11 months to go, but me and my daughter are past the 2 year mark on our contract. Here are my initial calculations. Staying on the current plan with AT&T: Total cost over the next 2 years: $4488 Switching over to Straight talk: Total cost over the next 2 years (based on pre-paying yearly for each plan): $3768 This includes the cost of early termination fee, new SIM cards, and the cost of purchasing a refurbished iPhone for ~$350. Also gives my daughter a data plan. Kills me that I'm paying this much for phone service. Very eye opening. One thing that would also cut into the cost savings is if I want to get a new iPhone when the 5 eventually comes out ( this fall? ). Still looks like I'll save on the straight talk plan no matter what.
