We are thinking of switching to Straight Talk or Cricket for our wireless. We do not live in the area, but have a condo in Sarasota. While we are there, this would be our only phones. Does anyone have any experience with Straight Talk? How is the coverage? How about Cricket?

Thanks!

I am a former corporate employee for Cricket.
I still have their phone service ( along with Verizon ). The service is good and I don't pay for it because the company still allows me to use it.

The only downfall is a $10 late charge if you don't pay your bill on time. Also, their 1800 customer service is awful! We used to have a lot of complaints about that.

If I go with a prepay, I would set it up auto pay. So that would not be an issue. I hear you on the customer service issue. Both Cricket and Straight Talk are horrible. It looks like the Cricket network is a little better for our needs, though.
