Which cell phone is better tracfone or straight talk?

[angel123]

So I have had a tracfone for a while now and recently because of all the texting I do I have been buying $20 cards like everyweek...I went to walmart today and saw a new phone called straight talk, where you pay $45 a month for unlimited or $30 for 1000 minutes and text messaging. My question is if someone has a straight talk phone is it good and probably cheaper than a tracfone?

I picked up a Straight Talk phone, it piggy backs on Verizon's 3G network, which works really well where I live. I was looking to get a regular cell phone plan, but I saw the Straight Talk phones and saw it was $30 cheaper a month to get the $30 plan versus a contract. the only drawback being that you must purchase a 'straight talk' phone.

but if you're spending $20 a week, you will save a small fortune in the long run with the ST phone. also, if it's of any interest, I picked up the phone where it slides to the side for text. and it's a really well built phone. buttons are responsive, not cheap feeling. I highly recommend.

FYI, straight talk is a tracfone brand.
