    Redpocket or Straight Talk?

    I was going to take my Galaxy Nexus to H20 or Simple Mobile but i have heard HORRIBLE reviews on these companies?

    I'm leaning towards T-mobile Prepaid as I have had great expeience with them for 50 bucks a month(And I may consider their Value Plan....39.99 a month for quality customer service and 500 mins and unlimited text sounds good...as long as I can get unlimited nights and weekends)

    But I want to know how redpocket and straight talk are?

    I live in Raleigh, North Carolina and I currently use At&t Go phone. Coverage is decent...I have 3G with 1 bar though it flashes to Edge but i dont have a data plan so i don't care really.

    1. Is Redpocket good?
    2. IS Straight talk good?
    3. Is it true Straight talk utilizes At&t post paid coveage?

    Or do you have any other carriers you can recommend?

    If you want good coverage, Straight Talk is better than Red Pocket and equal to AT&T Contract.
    However neither will provide you as good of customer service as a Postpaid/Contract service.
    Verizon 4G LTE

    AT&T 4G LTE

    For bang for the buck, ST. For good CS, neither. Go Air Voice instead.

    It's 100% irrelevant when considering coverage vs the two unless you are (or plan to be) in the areas that are affected.

    Your on the GoPhone now so if it works for you so will RP.

    Are they good? Well yes and no. They are good in the sense that they are a good value. They are bad in that customer service is usually horrendous.

    Raleigh being a large city should allow you to choose almost any carrier but since you already own your phone I think T-Mobile is your best bet as you have already expressed your satisfaction with them.

    Then stay away from Red Pocket, Straight Talk, H2o, etc.

    Jolt has been mentioned as having good CS, I have the 30.00 a month 5GB of data T-Mobile plan and CS is OK.

    Verizon prepaid is good and even Page Plus is OK.

    If you want real good CS than postpaid is your best option.
