In an earlier Straight Talk coverage map post, I mentioned how the actual coverage area seemed more extensive that what was shown on their official map. Well, the good folks at ST have now posted a new coverage map that much more accurately reflects true coverage area.
This is good. ST has been in test mode with TracFone and Verizon for the past several months, but it looks like they are ramping it up just in time for the Christmas shopping season.
There can be little doubt now that Straight Talk has passed the test and is going to be a long-term part of the TracFone family. This gives me better warm-fuzzy feeling about buying one of their phones, since I can be reasonably sure that the service isn't going to be pulled any time soon.
The coverage is amazing Verizon is quite good after years of suffering on AT&wait and see.
Love the price, too.
Straight Talk roolz!

I got the Straight Talk Finesse. Super cool phone! It's a touch screen and I am not paying and arm and a leg for the service. I pay $45 a month for unlimted talk, text, and data. There are no overage fees and it has great coverage. Got mine at Walmart across the street from my house -- super convenient.
