With Straight Talk you choose either ATT or T-Mobile as your base network.

I guess he will be in The States for a while yet so he is going to go with
a Sprint everything plan as it appears they allow him to suspend service
with no penalties if he needs to. He can then get whatever cheapo phone

I have heard the wallymart straight talk is a good deal. I just wonder
about service coverage.
He is mostly interested in unlimited text/data so he can use it for
internet access/entertainment as well as a communication device for calls

Hey Guys,

the best price for active service members? Anything elese he should think

Sprint offers a military discount, I've been using them for over a decade, here
in the states.
For OPSEC purposes (operational security), when overseas, get a new local phone
on base. It will probably be far cheaper, (pay-as-you-go, or month-to-month
contact) and if you let the contact lapse,
If he is going overseas it might make sense to buy a burner phone and
a SIM card you can reload with minutes, wherever he lands. The phones
are like $20 and you can buy minutes to top them off whenever you need
them. Some US phones have provisions for SIM cards too, so you can use
them on

Not enough information:

Another issue altogether, but there are military spec phones that are
much tougher than an average phone.
My younger son was very hard on cell phones.
His latest has been one of the military spec phones and it has lasted
more than 3 full years.

The rest of the world likes the GSM phones, so look at T mobile for something.
Might be better to figure out if he is headed to the Sand Box, which would
require a rather stout and simple phone, or one of the resort postings in
Europe where a much more option soaked phone will do fine.
