Even so you are only capable of getting a free Straight Talk Wireless Phone on the web at <a href="http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-1866352-10715259?sid=free-ST-Phone-txt" target="_top"> Straight Talk Online </a>. Straight Talk Cell Phone are also available at almost every Wal-mart in the US. Having said that I have never been able to find a free Straight Talk Prepaid Cellular Phone at Wally World.<br />

<h2>The Only Way to get Free Straight Talk Phone </h2>
<p>At the <a href="http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-1866352-10715259?sid=free-ST-Phone-txt" target="_top">Straight Talk Online</a> Website you will be able to get a free phone with the purchase of a Prepaid Phone card. You can usually get a free phone when purchasing either the &#8220;All you need&#8221; plan or the &#8220;Unlimited&#8221; plan.</p>
<h2>Free Straight Talk Phone Options</h2>
<p>Often before certain Holidays like Christmas, Mothers Day, Fathers Day and the 4th of July Straight Talk will put several different phone and phone packages on sale. Usually they will offer a nicer than usual phone free with the purchase of a phone card. I have seen the LG 100c Candy bar style, LG 420G Flip Phone,  Samsung T255G Flip Phone,   , Samsung T404G Slider Qwerty keyboard, Samsung R355c Qwerty  style, and the Samsung R451c Qwerty   mobile phone offered as free phones with the purchase of a Straight Talk Phone card.</p>
<h2> Word of caution about Reconditioned Cell phones </h2>
<p>From what I have seen there tend to be more issues with reconditioned cell phones. Even so I would not hesitate to obtain a refurbished Straight Talk Wireless Phone, as long as I was not having to pay more than around $30 for it. I would buy two refurbished phones at a time because I always like having a spare charger and a spare battery. Spending a few dollars more up front can frequently save you a lot, possibly time or money .</p>
<h2> Reasons for Buying A Pair of Free Straight Talk Phones </h2>
<p>I know that sounds funny buying a free Straight Talk Prepaid mobile phone but you must buy a phone card in order to get the free phone. You will be able to use the prepaid card that comes with your free phone on any Straight Talk phone, not just the phone it came with.</p>
<p>There are a lot of very good reasons for buying a pair of phones at one time. To begin with if you are obtaining the phones for free or just needing to purchase one more monthly card to obtain one, you aren&#8217;t spending much . It is definitely helpful to have a spare cellular phone charger to take to the office or to always keep in your travel bag. Furthermore It is also convenient to have a extra battery that is fully charged .</p>
<p>It is also handy if you purchase two free phones simultaneously is if the initial phone you activate has a problem  you won&#8217;t need to wait for Straight Talk to mail you a warranty phone. You can simply activate the spare you purchased.</p>
<h2> Obtaining an Additional Battery for your Phone</h2>
<p>If you purchase two free phones at the same time you might find it really handy to have a spare battery for your phone. It seems when you definitely must have a phone in the worst way the battery is dead. Additionally after around a year of regular usage most mobile phone batteries will not keep a charge as long .</p>
<h2>How to get a Free Charger for your Phone</h2>
<p>Yet again for anyone who is able to get a phone free by purchasing a calling card from  it  is sensible to purchase a pair of phones and monthly cards when you make your purchase. </p>
<p>Have you ever lost your charger in a hotel or at work and required a charge? Having to stop by Radio Shack  will most likely set you back 20 to 30 bucks .</p>
<p><strong> The only way to get a <a href="http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-1866352-10715259?sid=free-ST-Phone-txt" target="_top">Free Straight Talk</a> phone is at the <a href="http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-1866352-10715259?sid=free-ST-Phone-txt" target="_top">Straight Talk.com website.</a> Check out what they have available now.</strong><br />

<h2>How Walmart Straight Talk Works</h2>

<h3>How Wal-mart Straight Talk Pay as you go Wireless Works</h3>
<p>The Walmart Straight Talk programs have been built to be competitive with post paid phone plans. A long term contract mobile phone plan will require you to sign a one year or two year long term contract to get service. Straight Talk Prepaid is prepaid which means that you have to pay for your service before you use it and if you use up all of your minutes or the time period expires you lose service. You will not get a termination fee and if you would like to initiate service just as before you will have to purchase a Straight Talk Wireless Prepay phone card and reactivate your mobile phone.</p>
<p>Straight Talk Wireless is a partnership between Walmart, Track phone and Verizon Wireless. All phones are CDMA and work on the Verizon Wireless network.</p>
<h3>Straight Talk has two plans the $30 monthly All You Need plan and the $45 monthly Unlimited plan.</h3>
<p><strong>All You Need Plan</strong></p>
<p>This plan offers 1,000 minutes per 30 days, 1,000 texts per 30 days and 30 meg of data per thirty days. This Straight Talk program costs $30 per month.</p>
<p><strong>Unlimited Plan</strong></p>
<p>This Tracfone Straight Talk program serves up unlimited calling, unlimited text messaging and unlimited data transfer for $45 per thirty days.</p>
<p>You can purchase your Straight Talk Wireless Phone or service on-line at <a style="background-color: #ffcccc;" href="http://www.kqzyfj.com/click-1903754-10715267?sid=st-trailer-1-10-txt">Straight Talk.com</a> or at Walmart.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>By <a href="http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Patrick_Bushman">Patrick Bushman</a></p>
<p>The Samsung Finesse r810c was released for Straight Talk Wireless in December, 2009, and created a LOT of buzz among prepaid phone users. At first glance, the r810c appears to be everything prepaid users have been dreaming of: it includes a large touch screen, high-speed EVDO data connection, music player, 2.0 mp camera, camcorder, bluetooth, and many other features.</p>
<p>To top it all off, this phone is now available on Straight Talk&#8217;s inexpensive, no-contract plans. At $45 per month, the unlimited calling, text, and data plan is pretty appealing, especially when that data is coming over a 3G connection. For people who, like me, are geeky enough to lust after the iPhone but &#8220;frugal&#8221; enough to stick to prepaid, this might be the perfect solution.</p>
<p>In fact, I couldn&#8217;t resist. After reading a few of the initial reviews of the Finesse from other Straight Talk users, I bit the bullet and purchased my own Samsung r810c, along with a month of unlimited service.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve just received the phone, and I&#8217;m so enamored with the device I set up a separate Samsung r810c website to publish my review of the phone and share tips and tricks with other Straight Talk users. As I gain more experience with the Finesse, I&#8217;ll be putting up a very detailed review of the phone. I&#8217;ll also do my best to answer any questions that people might have if I happen to miss important information in my review.</p>
<p>As I said above, I&#8217;ve only had the phone a few days, so I haven&#8217;t used it enough to really test it out. Here&#8217;s what I can tell you so far, though &#8211; the voice quality seems adequate, but not fantastic. I would say it&#8217;s on par with the Samsung r451c, another Straight Talk phone released earlier this fall, but not quite as good as the LG 290c and 220c, also recent models on Straight Talk.</p>
<p>What is beyond compare, though, is the touch screen and EVDO browser. The touch screen definitely takes some getting used to, but I think I&#8217;ll grow to like it. It&#8217;s similar to an iPhone or iPod touch as far as how the touch screen works, but just a little different in sensitivity.</p>
<p>One thing worth noting here is that, unlike the aforementioned Apple products, the Finesse lacks &#8220;multi-touch&#8221; functionality. This means that the screen can sense only one &#8220;touch&#8221; at time, thus preventing use of Apple&#8217;s popular pinch-to-zoom operation. As an iPod touch user, I find that a little disappointing. Beyond that disappointment, though, I like the touch screen. This is the first touch-screen phone I&#8217;ve used. It&#8217;s nice to use, and even nicer to look at it</p>
<p>One thing that I really like is the EVDO internet access. I&#8217;ve had several phones now with internet access, but used them all very little because they were so slow. That is not the case with the r810c&#8217;s 3G data. It&#8217;s certainly not as fast as broadband internet at your home, but it&#8217;s fast enough that I&#8217;d be happy to use it to pass time while waiting in a waiting room or as a passenger in a vehicle.</p>
<p>Just as a point of reference, I was able to load the CNN website in about a minute, complete with a dozen pictures. On previous prepaid phones, if it loaded at all it would have taken several minutes to load a site like CNN, and that wouldn&#8217;t have included any pictures at all.</p>
<p>To check my email from my Yahoo! email account, it took me about 3 minutes to load the site, enter my password, and download my messages. I then reset the home page to yahoo mail, and saved my login info automatically. Now I can get to my new messages in about 45 seconds.</p>
<p>I have a lot more to discuss with this phone, and I&#8217;ll be putting some time into getting it up on my new site at the site listed in the resource box. I hope to see you there.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Do my Straight Talk Minutes roll over?</strong></p>
<p>No your minutes will not roll over but 1000 minutes for $30 is only 3.3 cents a minute.  With Straight Talk when you add a phone card it resets your 30 days.  There is no rollover or stacking of time or minutes.</p>
<p>Do Not add a Straight Talk card to your phone until you need it.  If you have minutes and time left on your phone when you add another card you will only have the minutes and time added by the new card.</p>
<p>If you have 400 minutes and 10 days left on your Straight Talk service and you add a 30 day 1,000 minute card you will end up with 30 days and 1,000 minutes.  You will not get the 400 minutes or ten days you had left.</p>
<p>Wait until you are almost out of either minutes or time before adding a <a href="http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-1866352-10710636?sid=STMonst1-022010" target="_top">Straight Talk</a> Card.</p>
