About
Hey everyone, I'm a Chinese American entrepreneur and veteran from Clearwater, FL. I am a huge supporter of e-commerce and the digital economy due to the mutual benefits it provides. I love that eBay makes it so easy for consumers to find better alternatives to traditional retail stores while enabling individuals to generate semi-passive income from the comfort of their homes. As a long time eBay member, I know the needs of customers from firsthand experience. I pride myself in the ability to offer deals and service at a fair price that leave both parties feeling satisfied. I appreciate your interest and look forward to working with you!

Practical for people with feature phones living in urban areas
2 of 3 found this helpful Introduction
I was a Straight Talk customer from March 2012 to June 2016. At first, I chose Straight Talk as a prepaid carrier for the service coverage and cost. They were ideal for simple preferences, but became less efficient as those changed over time.
Signal Strength (6/10)
The signal quality was strong on post and sometimes in the most random locations such as the middle of the desert or atop a mountain in New Mexico. Like who came up with the idea to place a tower in the middle of a desert anyways? Does not strike me as a popular tourist attraction. The reception was usually less reliable in rural areas, which was expected, given that few carriers had towers in those regions. When I moved to Gainesville, FL, the signal strength dwindled dramatically. At my house, calls would drop repeatedly from different people despite having a strong signal. MMS messages would sometimes take half an hour to load. Sometimes they would crash the operating system and I would have to restart the phone. My parent's neighborhood down the street and pretty much anywhere besides campus and major shopping centers were either dead zones or had poor signal strength.
Pricing (7.5/10)
What caught my attention was the $30 monthly prepaid plan. The 1000 minutes / 1000 text / 2 GB data plan suited my budget and simple feature phone needs at the time. However, this plan became considerably less desirable when I upgraded to a smartphone. The original plan was exclusive to feature phones, meaning that one must change to the unlimited plan to use a smartphone. Once I made this transition, it simply did not make sense to pay the same amount for less.
Customer Service (5/10)
In the beginning, the phone support was severely lacking. Quite frankly, there was none. In fact, it was so bad that I had to find roundabout methods such as contacting the billing department to be transferred to technical support. This was no longer a issue two years (and perhaps several dozen complaints from other customers) later, but this did not make resolving problems much easier. The best way that I can describe my general experience with Straight Talk customer support representatives is friendly and attentive, but generally uninformed. For instance, I was once passed through five representative and two feature phones before learning to configure APN settings on my own. The representatives repeatedly refused to provide the network access codes for recurring issues with my phone, claiming that the information was confidential. I must have contacted customer support three times within a year for the same problem. My old phone number was lost when I moved to Gainesville because the representative insisted that I did not have service because it needed to be changed. The issue was not resolved until my home of record was updated. This is not to say that I did not have positive experiences with customer support; instead that I have mixed feelings about the quality of their training.
Conclusion (6.16/10)
In summary, I believe Straight Talk is best for people looking to save money that are content with feature phones. It is may be viable option for smartphone users in urban service areas, although this will really depend on coverage maps. I would not recommend Straight Talk to those who are fond of stellar customer service, living in more rural areas.

Top-notch build, slick operating system despite lacking advanced features, best for first time buyers
1 of 1 found this helpful The HTC Radar 4G has a top-notch build, sporting a stylish, all-white aluminum design that is comfortable to hold. The display is crisp, with a front-facing camera that enables video calls, HD camcorder with autofocus along with a five mega pixel camera. Unfortunately, the video sharing process is painstaking and recording could use improvement.
Call quality is excellent, with a loud speakerphone and effective contact integration. Wi-Fi calling is unavailable, unlike most Windows Phones. Despite having a powerful internal battery, this may be discouraging to those who prefer a detachable battery. The device has 8GB storage without an SD card port, implying that the memory is not expandable.
First-time buyers who are upgrading or those seeking alternatives to Android and iOS will appreciate Windows Phone Mango’s (7.5) slick responsiveness interface, consistently smooth performance, clear text, fantastic keyboard, and a great browser. Hackers and more advanced users, however, may be less fond of the limited skinning and customization options.

Powerful Budget Smartphone
The HTC Inspire 4G is of a modest weight for its size, but this is easily compensated by the 4.3' display and slim body. The back housing may be removed while the device is active, unlike those that power off automatically. The display is sharp and colorful with smooth transitions, and quite a few useful functions to adjust the view. HTC Sense, the primary operating system, runs much faster and smoother than earlier versions.
The HTC Inspire 4G is best for people seeking a budget smartphone with a powerful operating system, plenty of applications, and functions comparable to higher end devices.
