Straight talk or another service like it?

I have an iphone 5, I want to get straight talk or another service similar to it. Is it possible to keep my phone number and current phone?

What other services are there?

You are best to avoid Straight Talk as their customer service is terrible and you can't stream video or even music with them. You can keep your number - it's a process known as "porting". However your phone must be out of contract and you need to know what type of phone it actually is with regard to the carrier. As example. Verizon phones work entirely different than Sprint phones, and so on.

There are many prepaid services, however you are limited by your phone. No direct answer there.
