If I buy an iphone from Staright Talk will I get the same coverage area as Verizon?
I have been told that Straight Talk uses Verizon towers. Does that mean they get the same signal strength as Verizon and the same coverage area? I'm trying to decide to pay a lot now for an iphone for an iphone from Straighttalk or pay more monthly for verizon.
Added (1). If I purchase an iPhone from Straighttalk, how much data will I get and would it be unlimited? I noticed that verizon sells data monthly in the form of 2G, 3G etc. If I have Straighttalk can I use the phone wherever I travel or csan I use only in zip code where I live?
That depends on the Straight Talk phone that you buy and the zip code that you live in.
Straight Talk buys airtime from all major carriers including Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint.
To know if a Straight Talk phone will run off of Verizon towers look in the lower left hand side on the front of the retail box. If there's a label that reads CDMA-V, that phone will use Verizon towers for service.
CDMA-S means the phone will use Sprint towers for service. GSM-A means the phone will use AT&T towers for service. GSM-T means the phone will use T-Mobile towers for service.
Ask for a Iphone from Straight Talk and look at the box, it is says CDMA-V, you know that the phone will use Verizon towers for service.
- Why through t-mobile am i able to get the iphone 5 in my area but not the 4S? I go to the website and every time i type in my zip for the 4s it says its not available in my area. But the 5 just goes straight through to the purchasing process. Are they trying to force people to buy the 5 or is there solid reasoning behind it? Because i'm honestly considering switching providers over this bs.
- Who has better coverage Verizon or at&t? I'm in Chandler Arizona I'm leaving T-Mobile behind and upgrading to the iPhone 5s, i was wondering which would have me covered better? I've already looked at the maps What about Sprint? Should i keep T-Mobile?

- Tmobile says I have 2G in my area, how reliable is this coverage map? I live in an area where it says I have 2G on the coverage map for Tmobile. The iPhone 5s is $50 on a two year contract. But I want to know if I really will have at least 2G where I live or not? I don't want to buy this phone on contract and then not have any service at all…
