$45 unlimited everything- not bad
i was never a fan of trackphones but the unlimited p
lan for 45 is a good deal. So now we have boost unlimited for 50, pageplus for 40, revol for 35, and trakphone for 45.

No Big Deal. PP is still better in more ways then one!
Had straight talk when they first started HORRIBLE outsourced service they still have only the same 3 phones. Been with and satisfied with Pageplus cellulars deal which is pretty much the same actually at this price point, they have tracfone beat. They offer more data. And on page plus unlimited plan which is 39.95 flat the 20mbs of data is enough for plenty of pix messaging. Also Pageplus you can pretty much bring any verizon handset! As long as esn is clean. So this is NO BIG DEAL!
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😁
