Anybody shopping for their new smartphone?

I did the same thing you did since the scheduling company's side it reads that the shop is to be entered with the MSC website. From the scheduling company I went to "Comment" for further instructions. From the MCP I printed the worksheet from both listings for the shop. HTH

One is for the phone itself, the other is for the plan.

The instructions say "You may not purchase a standard/feature phone." Does that mean that if there is a featured phone we cannot purchase it or is it just for a standard phone?

There are two different assignments. One requires a purchase of a standard phone. The other is for a smartphone, which is what it sounds like yours is. Do not purchase a basic phone.

In my area, Straight Talk goes through Sprint, which is super crappy in my area, and therefore cheap.

I checked out some of these phone shops as I was super interested hoping to get a break on an iphone. The cell phone shop nearest to me was about 3 hours away. I thought, that's ok, I'd still do it for the huge discount on the phone and free service for 6 months. Then I went to the website.. it was all prepaid phones, and no big name phones like iphone. I thought, bummer, but still... good deal... maybe I can hold off on iphone. Then I read the instructions and it said I had to go back to the location every month for 5 months. Dealbreaker there sad smiley. It would be fine if it were less than an hour from my town, but its in another state. sad smiley

It is the dame shop. One is the actual shop and the other is to upload the receipt for the phone purchase to expedite payment for It.
