If you're anything like me, you'll have a swanky mobile phone on a contract that costs an arm and a leg every month. I love my iPhone 4 to bits but I really don't like having to fork out so much for it every month even though I'm getting quite a good deal.

Well on my site surfing travels I came across something called 'Straight Talk'. It's similar to a regular contract except it's half the price and not a contract as such. They offer you a really neat up to date smart phone that's all singing and dancing or you can pay $10 and get a reconditioned phone that's just as good, which is really good if you're getting it for your kids. Take a look at this video for the Samsung Galaxy Precedent running on Android that they've just added to the Straight Talk calling family

They also don't do credit checks which is good if you're looking for a new phone and don't have very good credit. You don't have to pay to get everything activated, de-activated or even to terminate your account so they honestly have Everything you need. You can even call 411 for free! Sounds good eh? I bet that's caught your attention Hook, line and sinker?

They have various different plans to suit all budgets from a cheap and cheerful package for those who just want a phone with the necessary texts, calls and a bit of mobile internet all the way up to those who want unlimited texts, calls and mobile internet. You can monthly or pay for a year in advance. I like the idea of paying for a year in advance and that's most probably what I'd do if I could afford to.

Just think of all the money you'd be saving by using Straight Talk. I know that with the money I'd be saving by using it I could use it to pay other household bills or even treat the new phone I got to some new accessories. Or you could just Call a friend and tell them all about the great deal you got.
