Let’s talk Straight Talk Phones!

Although this isn’t going to be anything major, I do think we will see more devices that will come to Straight talk next year and I have a few predictions on which ones will come but again, I’ve been wrong in the past.

I’ve not see very many predictions about Straight Talk but I wanted to at least try to help people anticipate what may come and what may not come. Remember, I do not know anymore than anyone else but I do understand the market and what may happen in the future. So nothing I say should be consider as being set in stone or that they will do this or that. It is going to be another prediction on what they may bring out.

What Might come to Straight Talk!

Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 inch to 10.1 (Affiliate Link)i— There is a good reason why this will probably happen and I know why. Cricket Wireless (Affiliate Link) and T-mobile(Affiliate Link) are doing this right now. The idea of having a tablet like the Kindle(Affiliate Link) fire is going to be a real big deal to have for Straight Talk. I don’t know how they will do this but I am sure it will be an exciting time.

Nokia Lumina 710 (Affiliate Link) — This is one of those possibly that may happen but also remember this is a Windows Phone and thus is going be the first time Straight Talk tries the waters, if they do this. I am real optimistic about this being a real possibility and thus I can not see them not doing this.

Mifi Hotspots (Affiliate Link)— I can see this as another Real Possibly because this would be a great idea for students and people always on the go. I don’t know if they will do this but If Straight Talk wants to compete with other prepaid wireless networks they will have to get their feet wet.

Samsung Galaxy S (Affiliate Link) — This is after all another Android Phone but is possible on the Sprint Network thus will probably be ported to the Straight Talk Network because Straight Talks uses Sprint with Android. So I see this as another good possibly and I think more customers are going to want to have more Android Devices in the coming year.

As you can see these are all just speculation and thus could possibly come true but only time will tell. I thought I would at least try to have a little fun and tell you what I thought was going to be most likely.

If your like me!

You will always want to get the most of your Straight Talk Phone (Affiliate link). I'm going to talk about how to get the most out of your prepaid phone and not have to worry about signal strength as much. I know it can be difficult to figure out which one is right for you but I will discuss some of the things that you might need to know before buying your Straight Talk Phone. It only takes a little research to find the answer to the next few questions. Once you answer these questions you should be far better off.

The questions you need to answer are:

Where will you use the phone primarily?

What features are you looking for?

Which carriers are more reliable in your area?

Is it important to always receive phone calls? Can they go to Voice mail?

as you can see there are several things you need to consider when you about to buy a Straight Talk phone. Phones are linked to different carriers from what I can see and understand. That is the may reason why you might not have much success with one phone and have great success with another.

Do your Research!

This is the most vital thing you can do. Even though most times doing the research will lead to nothing it is very important. Some things to help you find your answers to those questions are just asking Google or your favorite search engine these question:

What carrier is the (INSERT Straight Talk phone) on or Uses?

What are people saying about (INSERT Straight Talk phone)?

What is the coverage area for (Sprint, AT&T, Verizon, ETC) in (Zipcode)?

Now doing that will provide several different results and each one is going to have to be considered before buying your phone. However you know which carrier each phone uses than you are far better off with knowing if you will have great coverage or bad coverage. This is the essential because you will not enjoy your phone if it does terrible.

Here is what I know!

I'm going to help you figure out some of what has been said in the mobile industry as to which carriers are using which phones. I won't have a complete list because even I don't know all the phones but I will generalize some of these and let you decide which ones you might want to buy and use and maybe even help me by commenting and tell me your phone and what carrier.

Straight Talk Android Phones(The Samsung Galaxy Precedent (Affiliate link) and LG Optimus Q (Affiliate link)) -- Will run on the Sprint Network

Straight Talk Samsung T404G (Affiliate link) -- Runs off the At&T network.

Straight Talk LG 620g (Affiliate link)-- Runs off the T-mobile Network.

These are the only ones that I have heard about but at least this will give you a starting place to look and use when you are looking for the best possible coverage for your prepaid cell phones. If I find out more phones this will be updated but as for right now this is all I have and if you have more information on phones just make a comment and I'll will update the list.
