for both of those, can you port your old number from another company such as virgin mobile?

Have you looked at Straight Talk? They offer the Samsung R810C touch screen phone. Thirty bones a month gets you 1000 minute of voice, 1000 texts, and 30 MB of data throughput. $45 gets you unlimited. They're a Wal-Mart/TracFone partnership, so they use the same towers as TracFone. Verizon, IIRC.

I almost went that route when I was shopping around a couple of months ago. The deal-breaker for me was that they don't have/allow coverage in Canada. I'm taking the bike up there this year, and need reliable coverage.

when I went to their website and searched for phones on the site. All I saw was about 7 phones or so, and non of them were that good. How did you get a HTC Ozone to work with that company? and I would just use the standard plan with unlimited texting. and can you port your old number?

Ok so here is the deal, Right now I have Virgin Mobile. I own a Rumor 2 and their service is pretty good. But I will they would begin selling some smart phones or some less boring phones, so I've been looking around for other prepaid phones. I've always wanted a touch screen phone like the LG Xenon or Samsung Caliber. But I was looking at some Blackberry type phones too, but on Boost Mobile it is 60 a month for Blackberries. And to me, that's sort of expensive. So in your opinion what is the best pre-paid service with some what less boring phones then virgin mobile such as touch screen, etc. I wouldn't talk much, but mostly text so i would want a good texting phone with unlimited texting, but not unlimited talking or web. and also what phones you like from the company you picked. I just pay 20 a month for unlimited texting right now for virgin mobile and thats all. Also in other companies, is email part of unlimited messaging? i know it is for virgin mobile, but i dont know for like Boost mobile. I think that's all i can think of. if you can't answer all the questions feel free to just answer one of them
