AT&T will support Straight Talk prepaid service2010-07-28 10:42 by DanielaTags: AT&T, Straight Talk
Wal-Mart will sell TracFone's Straight Talk service with phones that run on AT&T Mobility's network, a sign that AT&T is getting further enmeshed in the prepaid wireless business. This means that Straight Talk, which so far has only be available over Verizon's CDMA network, will now be offered on AT&T's GSM network and Straight Talk consumers will have a choice of two GSM handsets when they purchase the service. AT&T spokesman Mark Siegel confirmed the carrier will support Straight Talk service. A Wal-Mart spokesman did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The news that Wal-Mart will sell AT&T Straight Talk phones was first reported by BTIG analyst Walter Piecyk. The move further underscores both the growth of the prepaid sector and AT&T's rivalry with Verizon Wireless; Verizon was the first carrier to provide service for TracFone's Straight Talk service. Straight Talk offers a range of prepaid unlimited plans, including a $45 plan with unlimited voice, texting and data. Read more -here-
