Straight Talk used to be one of my top prepaid recommendations, but a lot has changed over the last decade, especially since it was acquired by Verizon. While it occasionally has some pretty solid phone promotions and its monthly rates aren’t too bad, the prepaid space has become increasingly crowded by brands like Visible and US Mobile. Straight Talk’s service isn’t necessarily bad, but it’s competitors are simply doing more to stand out in terms of pricing, special features, and marketing.
