Kyocera Rise Is Coming To Virgin Mobile USA On 8/31

Kyocera Rise is coming to Virgin Mobile USA on 8/31 for only $99.99. The phone features a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, 3.2 MP camera, single-core 1GHz Qualcomm MSM8655 processor, 512MB RAM, 1500 mAh battery, 2GB of internal memory Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

It sounds like a fairly decent upgrade for anyone using any VM phones besides the iPhone 4/4S, HTC Evo V, Motorola Triump or the HTC One V. Also keep in mind that Virgin Mobile still offers Unlimited Data although throttled. Are you planning on getting the Kyocera Rise when it arrives late August?

Verizon Wireless is dropping the Unlimited Data Grandfathered plans.  If you are currently on the unlimited data plan with Verizon and purchase a new subsidized phone you will lose your unlimited data. However, if you plan on buying a new phone and pay full price for it you will get to keep your unlimited data.

Bring Your Own Phone To Straight Talk

 



If you have an AT&T/Tmobile phone or an Unlocked GSM phone you can bring your smartphone/cell phone to Straight Talk. If you have an AT&T phone such as an iPhone you can purchase an Straight Talk (AT&T) sim. You can even choose a micro sim card for your iPhone (so need for sim cutters)!

All you do is go HERE and purchase a SIM card. Straight Talk’s unlimited data, text, MMS, talk all for $45 a month blows the competition for MVNO’s out of the water.  I just like how easy Straight Talk makes it for you. Just to note: This will not work with (as stated on StraightTalk.Com): Blackberry, CDMA phones (Verizon, Sprint, Metro PCS) or branded Straight Talk, TracFone, SafeLink and Net 10 phones.



Straight Talk is now introducing one high end of a phone on their prepaid network. The LG Optimus Black is now available on StraightTalk.Com with FREE Overnight Shipping! This phone features: Android 2.3, 4″ Touch Screen, 5MP Camera and 1GHZ Processor. I believe is running off the CDMA-S network which is Sprint. It is available for estimated retail value of $329.99.
