Does anyone have straight talk for your cell phone

A few coworkers do and they seem to like it, but it almost seems to good to be true. $45 a month for unlimited calls and data...
I'm worried about the reception mostly because I don't understand who carries the calls.

I've been thinking about it. Here are a few older posts where people answered some questions about it:

I been looking into it myself. Sprint charges quite a bit for 2 phones with unlimited everything..and since their service has been on the frits, they can't guaranteed the quality anymore. It would save us 120 a month.

I have it.  We use it with an iPhone 4s and are on the AT&T network.  It really is $45/mo (about $49/mo with taxes) per phone.  Which means < $100 for two people.
We calculated it out and compared to an unlimited plan with AT&T, even buying a brand new iPhone from Apple ($650+), we broke even at the seven month mark.
Plus, no contract.  My work offers me CME money to buy "Educational" things.  iPads, computers, and cell phones count, but they won't pay for a contract.  So I can
buy a new phone, have the total cost reimbursed, and just pay the Straight Talk monthly fee.

Go to HowardForums.com and peruse the MVNO boards.  SIM only plans are popular in Europe and there are more plans in the US than just Straight Talk.  But ST
seems to be the cheapest/best for the moment.

Does anyone have any idea what cancellation fees run with AT&T? I just signed a new 2-year contract in December, but my H's current contract is up in March. I think it'd be a good idea to switch to this. Our cell phone bill is $160/month. We have the least amount of minutes (actually I don't think you can get that few anymore), 1500 texts each, and 2 gb of data. We get good coverage, so if we could stay on AT&T towers that would be great.

I do and love it. The only complaint I have is their support is outsourced overseas so if you have a problem the language barrier can be difficult.

They just started selling Iphones as well so $45 for unlimited everything for an Iphone is awesome!
